The Urban-Barry Camp is one of most exciting and busiest camps in Canada, and 2017 looks to exceed expectations and outpace the previous year."

• On or before the second anniversary of the Closing Date, pay $200,000 and complete a minimum of $1,000,000 in exploration expenditures;
  

Upon which Bonterra will have exercised the option and full title of the Trove Property will be transferred from Durango to Bonterra;

For its efforts in introducing Durango to the Company, the Company will issue as a finder's fee to CJC Technology Inc. (Carlos Cervantes) 267,284 common shares.
