Lease on Patents

The Company completed this lease effective July 1, 2017 on 24 patented mining claims which have been in the Leipzig family for nearly 40 years.

Two patents are adjacent and west of the M-S pit that could allow potential expansion of the pit down dip of the Polaris vein and stock work system.

Ten patents have provided the Company with contiguous and connecting lands between the M-S and Bullfrog pits. These patents will also allow further expansions of the Bullfrog pit to the north and east.

Four patents are within 0.5 to 1.2 miles west of the Bullfrog pit in the vicinity of the Bonanza Mountain open pit mine.

Eight patents are in an exploration target area located about 1.5 miles NW of the Bullfrog pit and where the Company has owned one patent since 2011.

The lease includes terms customary in the industry with specifics as follows:

The Company paid $26,000 on signing and is scheduled to annually pay $16,000 for years 2-5, $21,000 for years 6-10, $25,000 for years 11-15, $30,000 for years 16-20, $40,000 for years 21-25 and $45,000 for years 26-30.

Production royalty of 5% net smelter returns with the right to buy-down to 2.5%.

The Company is to expend as a work commitment not less than $50,000 per year and $500,000 in total to maintain the lease.

The Company has rights to commingle ores and the flexibility to operate the Project as a logical land and mining unit.

David Beling, President & CEO stated, "We are pleased to complete this important lease with Matt Leipzig, Manager of Lunar Landing LLC and look forward to building mutually beneficial relationship with all stakeholders in the Beatty area."
