Under the option agreement Alcon has a sole and exclusive right and option to acquire an undivided 100-per-cent interest in and to certain unpatented lode mining claims situated in Beaver county, Utah, known as the Star property subject to the optionor retaining a 2.0-per-cent net smelter returns royalty (NSR).

Under the option agreement, Alcon also agreed to make cash payments in the total amount of $200,000 (U.S.) to the optionor, of which the initial $15,000 (U.S.) payment was made within six months of the effective date. Pursuant to the second amending agreement, the company made the second payment of $25,000 (U.S.) to the optionor, on behalf of Alcon, which was due and payable on the first anniversary of the effective date. The balance of cash payments due to the optionor by Alcon are:
- $50,000 (U.S.) shares on or before the second anniversary of the effective date;
- An additional $110,000 (U.S.) on or before the third anniversary of the effective date.
