Pursuant to the Agreement, Eon wishes to assign the Amanecer Purchase Option to the Company in exchange for the following remuneration payable by the Company to Eon:
a. US$25,000 due upon execution of the Agreement and upon acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange (the “Exchange”);

d. the QP will be provided for the use of Eon at cost to the Issuer;
e. at the successful conclusion of the testing of the Absorbent, the Company will have the exclusive right to utilize the Absorbent as part of a feasibility study on the Amanecer Lithium Project, and any other project it deems applicable, subject to subparagraph
