10.07 Dispute Resolution.
Any dispute or difference, other than decisions properly and duly made by the Management Committee in accordance with Section 5 of this Agreement, arising between the Parties under this Agreement will, unless otherwise specifically provided for in this Agreement, first be dealt with as follows:

| (b) | unless such dispute has been settled by the Parties within twenty (20) days of delivery of the foregoing notice, it will be referred to a panel comprised of the exploration team lead for the project of each of the Parties (or his or her designate), who shall then attempt to resolve the matter in an agreeable and amicable manner as expeditiously as possible; |
| (c) | if the matter is not resolved by such panel of exploration team leads, or if any exploration team lead refuses to participate within ten (10) days of being asked to do so by the Party claiming that a dispute exists, it will be referred for expert determination by an expert selected jointly by the Parties who has at least five (5) years’ experience in the resolution of similar disputes; |
Page: 36
| (d) | if the Parties cannot agree within a further seven (7) days on the identity of the expert, then either Party may request the Treasurer of the Law Society of British Columbia to nominate a person suitably experienced and qualified to act as expert; |
| (e) | the expert will determine the dispute in accordance with this Section 10.07; and |
| (f) | subject to the expert’s right to award damages, all costs and expenses of the expert shall be borne equally by the Parties. |

The Parties shall provide promptly any further information requested by the expert (with a copy to the other Party) and the expert may carry out any inspections that he or she considers necessary. The expert shall inform the Parties of his or her decision in writing within thirty (30) days of the closing of submissions made to the expert by the Parties and, in any event, within sixty (60) days of the date of his or her appointment.
If the matter is still not resolved after utilizing the mechanisms in this Section 10.07 above, then disputes resulting from, arising out of, or in connection with this Agreement or the construction or enforcement thereof may be resolved by a court of competent jurisdiction. In any litigation between the Parties or any person claiming under them, resulting from, arising out of, or in connection with this Agreement or the construction or enforcement thereof, the substantially prevailing Party shall be entitled to recover all reasonable costs, expenses, legal and expert witness fees and other costs of suit reasonably incurred by it or them in connection with such litigation, including such costs, expenses and fees incurred prior to the commencement of the litigation, in connection with any appeals, and in collecting or otherwise enforcing any final judgment entered therein. If a Party substantially prevails on some aspects of such action, but not on others, the court may apportion any award of costs and legal fees in such manner as it deems equitable.

| (e) | Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 11.02, if the Subscription Closing has occurred and the Subscription Shares have been issued to Greenland Mines, this Agreement may not be terminated by Greenland Mines under Section 11.02(b) or (c). Following the Subscription Closing, the sole mechanism by which Greenland Mines’ interest in Major Precious may be reduced as a consequence of non-performance of the Option Payments, Payment Shares or Work Expenditures is the Intrusion Call Option under Article IV |
For greater certainty, termination of this Agreement by Major Precious or Intrusion in accordance with this Section 11.02 shall not affect the Intrusion Call Option or Greenland Purchase Option, which shall survive termination and remain exercisable in accordance with their terms until they expire in accordance with Articles IV and V respectively. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Subscription Shares have been issued and an Intrusion Call Option Trigger Event has occurred, Intrusion’s exclusive remedy is the exercise of the Intrusion Call Option in accordance with Article IV, and neither Major Precious nor Intrusion shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement solely on the basis of such Trigger Event except following the expiry of the Intrusion Call Option Exercise Period without exercise, at which time the parties’ rights and obligations shall be governed by Section 4.05 and Section 4.06 and any Shareholders Agreement then in effect.
11.03 Obligations on Termination.
Other than payment of the First Cash Payment, (a) Greenland Mines shall have no further obligation to incur additional Work Expenditure, and (b) Greenland Mines shall forfeit any and all rights and interests Greenland Mines may have in the Properties, in the event of the termination of this Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon termination of the Agreement for any reason other than Greenland Mines’ exercise of the Subscription Right or termination by Major Precious in accordance with Section 11.02, Greenland Mines shall, at its sole cost and expense:
| (a) | ensure the Properties are in good standing for a period of not less than twelve (12) months following the termination of this Agreement; |
| (b) | execute and deliver to Major Precious all documents or instruments reasonably requested by Major Precious necessary to release, quit claim and relinquish to Major Precious all right, title or interests in or to the Properties; |
| (c) | demobilize all personnel, equipment, and materials from the Properties, ensuring that all such demobilization is conducted in a safe, orderly, and environmentally responsible manner; |
| (d) | undertake and complete all necessary site stabilization, environmental protection, and reclamation measures required by applicable Law, permits, or good industry practice, including but not limited to the removal of temporary structures, remediation of any environmental disturbance or contamination caused or exacerbated by its activities, and restoration of the Properties to a condition reasonably satisfactory to Major Precious and in compliance with all regulatory requirements; |

| (e) | assign, transfer, or re-grant to Major Precious, at no additional cost, all approvals, permits, land access rights, surety rights, and contractor or framework agreements relating to the Properties, to the extent transferable and as reasonably requested by Major Precious, and provide all necessary cooperation and documentation to effect such transfers; |
| (f) | deliver to Major Precious, in open, editable, and industry-standard formats, all raw data, technical information, samples, drilling core, interpretive models, and iterations generated by or in the possession or control of Greenland Mines or its agents, together with a warranty of completeness and accuracy; |
| (g) | remain liable for, and indemnify and hold harmless Major Precious from and against, all liabilities, costs, claims, and obligations (including environmental liabilities) arising from or relating to Greenland Mines’ period of operation or any act or omission of Greenland Mines or its agents, including any failure to comply with Law, permits, or the terms of this Agreement, with such obligations being in addition to, and not in limitation of, any other rights or remedies of Major Precious under this Agreement or at Law; |
| (h) | settle all outstanding commitments, expenditures and contractual obligations to third parties which it or its agents approved and for which it or its agents are liable in accordance with the respective terms and conditions of such commitments and obligations; and |
| (i) | deliver to Major Precious all Confidential Information related to the Properties in the possession of Greenland Mines and all such Confidential Information related to the Properties generated by or in the possession or control of Greenland Mines or its agents; |
The Parties expressly agree that the obligations in this Section 11.03 shall survive the termination of the Agreement.
