The Principal, the Original Loan Amount, and interest thereon will be secured by a perfected first priority security interest in all present and after-acquired property of the Company. In connection with the Loan, Hanstone will issue to the Lender 14,500,000 common share purchase warrants (each, a "Loan Warrant"), with each Loan Warrant exercisable to acquire a common share (a "Loan Warrant Share") at a price of $0.05 per Loan Warrant Share for three years from the closing date of the Loan. The Company will use the Principal: to make option payments of $700,000 under the option agreement respecting the Company's Doc Mineral property; and for general corporate purposes approved by the board of directors of the Company.

The closing of the Loan is subject to execution of the Amended Loan Agreement and receipt of the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange. The securities issued under the Loan will be subject to a four month hold period. There is no material fact or material change about the Company that has not been generally disclosed.

As Mr. Hans is an insider of the Company, the Loan is a "related party transaction" as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 ("MI 61-101"). The Loan will be exempt from the formal valuation requirement under MI 61-101 because Hanstone's securities are not listed on any of the markets specified in MI 61-101, and the Loan will be exempt from the minority shareholder approval requirement under MI 61-101 because the aggregate fair market value of the Loan is not more than $2,500,000 and Hanstone's independent directors will approve the transaction.
