Purchase Agreement Terms

Cazador Purchase Agreement Terms

Coast Copper acquired 8 mineral claims totaling 1,492 ha from Cazador. Under the terms of the Cazador purchase agreement ("Cazador Purchase Agreement"), in consideration for a 100% interest in the Property, Coast Copper will make a cash payment of $60,000 to Cazador, which will retain a 1% net smelter return ("NSR") royalty on the Cazador claims, 0.5% of which may be purchased by Coast Copper for $2 million.

The Company's independent directors completed a review of the Cazador claims prior to entering into the Cazador Purchase Agreement and agreed to cover Cazador's acquisition costs and initial reconnaissance program, and for Cazador to retain an NSR.

This transaction was considered a related party transaction within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 -- Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions as the Cazador claims were sold to the Company by a director and officer. The transaction is exempt from the formal valuation and minority approval requirements in MI 61-101 as the fair market value of the consideration payable does not exceed 25% of the Company's market capitalization.

Third-Party Purchase Agreement Terms

Coast Copper acquired 3 mineral claims totaling 77 ha from the Third Party. Under the terms of the Third-Party purchase agreement, in consideration for a 100% interest in the Third-Party claims, Coast Copper will make a cash payment of $134 to the Third Party, which will retain a 1% NSR royalty on the Third-Party claims, 0.5% of which may be purchased by Coast Copper for $1 million.

One of the 3 Third-Party claims purchased, covering 19 ha, is not adjacent to the Sweeney property and will be treated as a separate mineral property.
