issuing to Romios 12 million common shares of CLM, 4 million of which have been received, and paying a further $1 million ($1

Romios retains a 2% Net Smelter Returns Royalty ("

radius of the current boundaries of Newmont Lake. The 2% NSR may be reduced at any time to a 1% NSR on the payment of $2
million per 0.5% NSR.
If CLM is successful in acquiring Newmont Lake, and in the event an NI-43-101compliant resource estimate is issued in respect
of any part of Newmont Lake which exceeds 1 million ounces of gold equivalent resources, Romios will be issued an additional
2 million common shares of CLM. It will also receive an additional 1 million common shares of CLM for each additional1 million
ounces of gold equivalent resource on any part of Newmont Lake.
