Nevada Canyon has the exclusive right and option (the “Purchase Option”), exercisable at any time during the Option Period, as further defined below, at its sole discretion, to acquire 100% of a production royalty in the amount of one percent (1%) of the net smelter returns on all minerals and products produced from certain properties comprising the Olinghouse Project.
The term of the Purchase Option shall be the later of one (1) year, or sixty (60) days after the date on which NCG delivers to Target a written notice to exercise the Option, subject to further extension if Target’s conditions to closing are not fully satisfied or otherwise waived by the Optionee. Full consideration of the Agreement consists of the following: (i) an initial cash option payment of US$200,000 payable upon execution of the Agreement (paid), and (ii) purchase price (the “Purchase Price”) which shall be paid by NCG to Target in either cash or common shares of NCG, the determination of which shall be as follows:
(a) | if the NCG 10-day volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) Calculation is less than US$1.25 per share, the Purchase Price shall be paid in cash; or |
(b) | if the NCG 10-day VWAP Calculation is more than US$1.25 per share, the Purchase Price shall be paid in the form of Two Million (2,000,000) NCG Shares of the Company’s common stock. |
