Additionally, the Company was granted an option (the “ Option ”) to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of CIC Resources (Paraguay) Inc.

Pursuant to the Share Purchase and Option Agreement, the Company issued 1,333,560 restricted common shares in the capital of the Company and paid US$50,000 in cash as consideration for the Acquisition. During the one year period following completion of the Acquisition (the “ Option Period ”), the Company may elect in its discretion to exercise the Option at any time, or if, in accordance with the Share Purchase and Option Agreement, the Vendor relinquishes the concessions comprising the Property from 160,930 hectares down to 70,498 hectares, the Company is deemed to have exercised the Option. Upon exercise of the Option, the Company is required to pay, subject to certain adjustments, US$250,000 in cash to the Vendor and grant the Vendor, or an assignee of the Vendor, a 1.5% net smelter returns royalty (the “ Royalty ”) on the Property as contemplated by a proposed net smelter returns royalty agreement (the “ Royalty Agreement ”) to be executed by the parties upon exercise of the Option. Pursuant to the proposed Royalty Agreement, the Company has the right, exercisable at any time for a period of six years following exercise of the Option, to acquire one-half percent (0.5%) of the Royalty at a purchase price of US$500,000.

The description set forth above is qualified in its entirety by the Share Purchase and Option Agreement (including the form of Royalty Agreement attached thereto), which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report and is incorporated by reference herein.

SCHEDULE C
RULES OF ARBITRATION

The following rules and procedures shall apply with respect to any matter to be arbitrated by the parties under the terms of the Agreement.

1.      INITIATION OF ARBITRATION PROCEEDINGS

If any party to this Agreement wishes to have any matter under this Agreement arbitrated in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, it shall give notice to the other Party hereto specifying particulars of the matter or matters in dispute and proposing the name of one person it wishes to be appointed as a qualified arbitrator. Within 10 days after receipt of such notice, the other party to this Agreement shall give return notice to the first party proposing the name of a person it wishes to be appointed as the qualified arbitrator. If such return notice is not given by the other Party within such 10 day period, it shall be deemed to have accepted the person proposed by the first party as the sole qualified arbitrator. If such return notice is given within such 10 day period proposing another person to be the qualified arbitrator and the Parties are unable to agree, then the sole arbitrator shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of the Arbitration Act , 1996 (British Columbia). The term “qualified arbitrator” as used herein shall refer to qualified professional person who has at least 10 years of mining industry experience in the subject matter of the dispute and is independent of both Parties.

2.      SUBMISSION OF WRITTEN STATEMENTS

Within five days of the appointment of the Arbitrator, the Party initiating the arbitration (the “Claimant”) shall send the other Party (the “Respondent”) a statement of claim setting out in sufficient detail the facts and any contentions of law on which it relies and the relief or outcome that it claims.

Within 15 days of the receipt of the statement of claim, the Respondent shall send the Claimant a statement of defence stating in sufficient detail which of the facts and contentions of law in the statement of claim it admits or denies, on what grounds, and on what other facts and contentions of law it relies.

Within five days of receipt of the statement of defence, the Claimant may send the Respondent a statement of reply.

All statements of claim, defence and reply shall be accompanied by copies (or, if they are especially voluminous, lists) of all essential documents and/or reports on which the Party concerned relies and which have not previously been submitted by any Party, and (where practicable) by any relevant samples.

After submission of all the statements, the Arbitrator will give directions for the further conduct of the arbitration.


- 2 -

3.       MEETINGS AND HEARINGS

The arbitration shall take place in the City of Vancouver, or in such other place as the Claimant and the Respondent may mutually agree in writing. The arbitration shall be conducted in English. Subject to any adjournments which the Arbitrator allows, the final hearing will be continued on successive working days until it is concluded.

All meetings and hearings will be in private unless the Parties otherwise agree.

Any Party may be represented at any meetings or hearings by legal counsel.

Each Party may examine, cross-examine and re-examine all witnesses at the arbitration.

4.      THE DECISION

The Arbitrator will make a decision in writing and, unless the Parties otherwise agree, will set out reasons for decision in the decision.

The Arbitrator will send the decision to the Parties as soon as practicable after the conclusion of the final hearing, but in any event no later than 20 days after the hearing, unless that time period is extended for a fixed period by the Arbitrator on written notice to each party because of illness or other cause beyond the Arbitrator’s control.

The decision shall determine and award costs to the successful Party in the arbitration.

The decision shall be final and binding on the Parties and shall not be subject to any appeal or review procedure, provided that the Arbitrator has followed the rules provided herein in good faith and has proceeded in accordance with the principles of natural justice. If either Party initiates any court proceeding in respect of the decision of the Arbitration or the matter arbitrated, such party shall, if unsuccessful in the court proceeding, pay the other party’s costs on a solicitor/client basis plus all other reasonable expenses incurred by such other party from the date of delivery of the notice commencing arbitration to the date of determination of such court proceeding.

5.       JURISDICTION AND POWERS OF THE ARBITRATOR

By submitting to arbitration under these Rules, the Parties shall be taken to have conferred on the Arbitrator the following jurisdiction and powers, to be exercised at the Arbitrator’s discretion subject only to these Rules and the relevant law with the object of ensuring the just, expeditious, economical and final determination of the dispute referred to arbitration.

Without limiting the jurisdiction of the Arbitrator at law, the Parties agree that the Arbitrator shall have jurisdiction to:


- 3 -

determine any question of law arising in the arbitration; determine any question as to the Arbitrator’s jurisdiction;

determine any question of good faith, dishonesty or fraud arising in the dispute;

order any party to furnish further details of that party’s case, in fact or in law;

proceed in the arbitration notwithstanding the failure or refusal of any party to comply with these Rules or with the Arbitrator’s orders or directions, or to attend any meeting or hearing, but only after giving that party written notice that the Arbitrator intends to do so;

receive and take into account such written or oral evidence tendered by the Parties as the Arbitrator determines is relevant, whether or not strictly admissible in law;

make one or more interim awards;

hold meetings and hearings, and make a decision (including a final decision) in Vancouver, British Columbia or elsewhere with the mutual written concurrence of the Parties;

order the Parties to produce to the Arbitrator and to each other for inspection, and to supply copies of, any documents and/or reports or other evidence or classes of documents in their possession or power which the Arbitrator determines to be relevant; and
