The Proposed Acquisition would constitute an arm's length transaction.

Pursuant to the terms of a definitive option agreement (the "Option") to be negotiated between the parties, Zodiac will incorporate and fund a Mexican subsidiary ("Zodiac Mexico") that will earn a 90% interest in the Property over a three-year period in consideration for total cash payments of US$500,000.

The remaining 10% interest in the Property will remain with Arco as a carried interest. Zodiac may elect at any time during the term of the option to purchase Arco's 10% carried interest in the Property for US$1,000,000. In addition, Arco will receive shares of Zodiac Mexico having a value of US$250,000 concurrent with Zodiac Mexico's listing on the Australian Stock Exchange or such other stock exchange as Zodiac may determine. Finally, Arco will receive a 1% net smelter royalty on any production from the Property.

Completion of the Proposed Acquisition is subject to a full due diligence review of the Property to be completed by Zodiac within 30 days of the LOI. It is also subject to all required corporate and regulatory approvals and approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.

Tres Hermanas Property

The Property consists of the Tres Hermanas 1 and Tres Hermanas 2 claim blocks, which have areas of 500 and 900 hectares respectively. A 3rd claim block of 2310 hectares, Khulan, is currently pending titling by the Mexican General Direction of Mines and is part of the Property.

The Tres Hermanas property covers a silver-lead-zinc-bearing vein system that has historic underground workings on five levels along a 400 metre strike. Previous underground sampling showed local values greater than 500g/t of silver. In addition, chip samples taken included values as high as 764.5 g/t of silver and 10.4% lead across 1.5 metres. Regional soil sampling has indicated the vein system continues along strike in both directions. The vein system shows widths of one to two metres with a lower grade shell upwards of 15 metres wide.
