Canada Rare Earth received a total of $159,000 for the sale of the property and was granted a 2% gross production royalty based on the graphite produced from the property. The purchaser may acquire half of this royalty for $250,000.

The $10,000 is to be applied against the $200,000 payment due upon successful conclusion of the due diligence being undertaken by the optionee. The optionee may then make further payments of $400,000 and $400,000, with a minimum of half cash and the balance in shares of a publicly traded company issued at a discount to the volume weighted adjusted price. The $400,000 payments are due 12 months after the $200,000 payment and then a further 12 months thereafter. Canada Rare Earth has a put option on the shares it receives for $200,000 and the optionee has a call option on the shares for $1 million, on the basis that $500,000 of shares are received by Canada Rare Earth.
