the mining concession more particularly set forth and described in Schedule "A" and all rights and appurtenances attached or accruing thereto (the "Minera Concession");
(b)
any substitute or successor mineral tenure granted, issued or obtained in respect of the tenure referred to in subparagraph (a); and
(c)
all information and data with respect to the foregoing mineral tenures in the possession or control of Minera or any of its associates or affiliates as at the date hereof (the "Existing Data").
We confirm our understandings as follows:
1.

2.

Minera hereby grants to Wealth the sole, exclusive and irrevocable right and option (the "Option") to earn a one hundred (100%) percent right, title and interest in and to the Property by allotting and issuing to Minera an aggregate of TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND (200,000) fully paid and non-assessable common shares in the capital stock of Wealth (the "Shares") on or before the day that is ten (10) business days after latest to occur of the following:

3.
Option is Option Only, Termination for Non-performance

However, if Wealth fails to issue the Shares as provided in paragraph 2 within the time limit specified, the provisions of paragraph 9 will apply, and if Wealth fails to remedy such default in accordance with that paragraph, Minera may, upon notice to Wealth to that effect, terminate the Option, and Wealth will thereupon have no right, title or interest in or to the Property, and no further right to earn any interest therein, and will have no further obligations or liabilities in respect of Minera or the Property, except as provided in paragraph 5.
4.

5.

carry out any reclamation and rehabilitation required as a result of the operations by or on behalf of Wealth thereon hereunder, including the clean-up and removal of any hazardous waste from the Minera Concession placed or brought on the Minera Concession by or on behalf of Wealth;
(b)

(b)
representatives of Minera authorized in writing by Minera will have the right, at the sole expense and risk of Minera, of access to and the right to inspect the Property and the data obtained therefrom, and to copy all data derived from work thereon, provided that such rights may only be exercised in a manner which does not unduly interfere with the activities of Wealth on the Property and that Minera will defend and indemnify Wealth from and against all liabilities which may be incurred by Minera, and of its representatives or any third parties in connection with the exercise of such right of access;
(c)

9.
Default
If any party hereto defaults in the performance of any of its obligations hereunder, the party affected by such default may give notice to the defaulting party, and if the defaulting party does not cure such default within:
(a)
in the case of a default by Wealth of any of the requirements of paragraph 2, twenty-one (21) days, or
(b)
in the case of any other default, thirty (30) days, provided that if any such default is, by its nature, not able to be cured within a thirty (30) day period, and the party in default commences reasonable steps to begin to cure such default within the thirty (30) day period specified in this subparagraph 9(b), such party will be allowed such additional time (not exceeding one hundred and twenty (120) days) as may be reasonably required to cure such default so long as it assiduously proceeds with the curing of such default during such period,
after receipt of such notice, then:
(c)
if the affected party is Minera and the uncured default is a default by Wealth pursuant to any of the provisions specified in subparagraph 9(a) prior to the exercise of the Option, Minera may terminate the Option in accordance with paragraph 3; or
(d)
if Minera elects not to terminate the Option pursuant to subparagraph 9(c), or in the case of any other default that is not cured, the affected party may refer the matter to arbitration pursuant to paragraph 13, seeking such relief as it may deem appropriate.
10.
Governing Law
This agreement will be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of British Columbia and those of Canada applicable therein.
11.
Assignment
Wealth will have the right to assign and transfer all of its rights and obligations hereunder without the consent of, but upon notice to, Minera, provided that the proposed transferee first enters into an agreement with Minera to be bound hereby in respect of the interest to be acquired by it from Wealth.
12.
Formal Agreement
If required by either party, the parties will use their best efforts to settle and execute formal documentation as necessary to give effect to this agreement in Peru within a reasonable time after such party delivers notice to the other to enter into such formal Peruvian agreement. Such formal documentation will reflect the terms and conditions of this letter together with such additional terms and conditions as are typical of option agreements of this nature and will reflect a structure among the parties indicated to be the most beneficial by the parties' Canadian and Peruvian legal and tax advisers, but this agreement is not subject to the settlement and execution such formal documentation and is a binding agreement upon acceptance hereof by Minera. If there are disputes with respect to the form of such formal documentation, the matter will be referred to arbitration in accordance with paragraph 13.
13.
Arbitration
Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this agreement, the breach, termination or invalidity of it, any deadlock or inability of the parties to agree on a course of action to be taken hereunder, or the failure of the parties to settle the formal agreement referred to in paragraph 12, will be referred to and finally resolved by arbitration in accordance with the "Procedures for Cases under the BCICAC Rules" of the British Columbia International Commercial Arbitration Centre ("BCICAC"), which will administer the arbitration case in accordance with such rules. If the parties cannot agree on an arbitrator within fifteen (15) days of the matter being referred to arbitration, then the BCICAC will appoint an arbitrator. The place of arbitration will be Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada and the language used in the arbitral proceeding will be English. The arbitrator's fees, and the other costs of the arbitration, will be paid by the prevailing party, subject to the contrary decision of the arbitrator.
14.
Force Majeure
No party will be liable for its failure to perform any of its obligations under this agreement due to a cause beyond its control (except those caused by its own lack of funds) (each an "Intervening Event") including, but not limited to, acts of God, fire, flood, explosion, strikes, lockouts or other industrial disturbances, laws, rules and regulations or orders of any duly constituted governmental authority, excessive delays in obtaining, or the refusal to issue, any required permits or licenses, or non-availability of materials, supplies, labour or transportation. All time limits imposed by this agreement will be extended by a period equivalent to the period of delay resulting from an Intervening Event. A party relying on force majeure will take all reasonable steps to eliminate an Intervening Event and, if possible, will perform its obligations under this agreement as far as practical, but nothing herein will require such party to settle or adjust any labour dispute or to question or to test the validity of any law, rule, regulation or order of any duly constituted governmental authority.
15.
Legal and Property Title Due Diligence
This agreement is subject to the completion by Wealth of legal and title due diligence on the Property, and results therefrom satisfactory to Wealth, acting reasonably, within a period of thirty (30) days after the Execution Date. If the results of such due diligence are not satisfactory to Wealth it may, at any time prior to the end of such thirty (30) day period, so notify Minera and thereupon this agreement will be terminated without any further obligations of either party to the other.
16.
Application to TSX Venture Exchange Inc. for Acceptance
Forthwith upon the completion by Wealth of the due diligence specified in paragraph 15 and receipt of results satisfactory to Wealth therefrom, Wealth will make application to the TSXV requesting the acceptance for filing hereof on behalf of Wealth, and will diligently pursue the obtaining of such acceptance, including arranging for the preparation of and providing all information and materials required by the TSXV in order to grant such acceptance. Minera will co-operate with Wealth in connection therewith and will provide any information with respect to Minera or the Property as may be required by the TSXV in connection with the grant of such acceptance.
[Rest of page left blank intentionally.]

Yours very truly,
WEALTH MINERALS LTD.
