On or before the second anniversary of the signing of the definitive agreement pay $100,000 to Lithium Corporation and issue 100,000 common shares of the Optionee/TSX-V listed public company.
Optionee must make qualified exploration or development expenditures on the Property of $200,000 before the first anniversary, an additional $300,000 before the second anniversary, an additional $600,000 prior to the third anniversary, and make all payments and perform all other acts to maintain the Property in good standing before fully earning their 80% interest. Additionally, terms will be negotiated for the Optionee to purchase the Company’s 20% interest in the property for $1,000,000, at which point the Company’s interest would revert to a 2 ½% Net Smelter Royalty (NSR).

Brian Goss, President of Lithium Corporation stated, “We have achieved a major milestone towards reaching our goal of finding a partner to advance exploration at Fish Lake Valley. This agreement, once completed, will de-risk our interest in the property for the next $1.1 million of exploration and development, allow us to maintain an interest in Fish Lake Valley, and build a relationship with a new partner group. The Lithium Corporation team looks forward to closing a Definitive Agreement pursuant to these terms.”
