The Agreement further provides that:
- BonTerra must issue an additional 2,000,000 common shares to Durango as a discovery bonus if, and when, BonTerra produces a technical report compliant with National Instrument 43-101 showing a minimum of 500,000 ounces inferred resource of gold on the Trove Property.; and
- Durango will retain a 2% net smelter return royalty in respect of the Trove Property. BonTerra may purchase 50% of this royalty at any time for a cash payment of $1,000,000.
