This OPERATIONS AGREEMENT ("Mining Operations Agreement") is made and entered into as of the day of _______ 2022 by and between APPLIED MINERALS INC., a Delaware corporation, with a mailing address of 1200 Silver City Road, PO Box 432, Eureka, Utah 84628 ("AMI"), and BMI MINERALS COMPANY, ("BMC”), a Missouri corporation having its principal place of business at 16640 Chesterfield Grove Road, Suite 170, Chesterfield, MO 63005.
AMI and BMC may be referred to herein collectively as the "Parties" or individually as a "Party."
RECITALS
| A. | AMI owns the Mining Claims (as defined in the Iron Sale Agreement (Exhibit 1) and from that mine it extracts and processes, or has processed by others, halloysite clay and iron oxide for sale in a range of markets. | |
| B. | AMI desires to sell certain assets related to its iron oxide business while retaining assets related to its halloysite clay business and BMC and its parent corporation, Brady McCasland, Inc., (“BMI”) desire to acquire certain assets related to the iron oxide business of AMI. | |
| C. | To that end, the parties and BMI will enter into four agreements, two sale agreements and two operations agreements. | |
| D. | One sale agreement, the Iron Sale Agreement, will transfer to BMC certain minerals, mineral rights, and AMI stock to BMC in exchange for cash. | |
| E. | The other sale agreement, the Mill Sale Agreement (Exhibit 2), will transfer to BMI the Mill and Related Equipment (as those terms are defined in the Mill Sale Agreement) and will enter into a ground lease relating to the Mill (“Lease,” Exhibit 3). | |
| F. | One operations agreement, the Milling Operations Agreement (Exhibit 4), provides that AMI will provide milling services to BMI. | |
C:
| 3 |
| G. | This operations agreement, the Mining Operations Agreement, provides that AMI will provide mining services to BMC. |
ARTICLE I
DEFINITIONS
Capitalized terms not defined in this Agreement shall have the meaning given to them in the Iron Sale Agreement.
“Mining Operations” is intended to encompass all activities involving or incident to the production of minerals up to and including the delivery of material to the Mill. Without limiting the foregoing, the term Mining Operations includes (i) access to the Mining Claims, (ii) exploration for minerals by any means including drilling, (iii) the development of shafts, tunnels and similar infrastructure, (iv) the mining, extraction, and movement to the surface of mined minerals, (v) the crushing and movement around the surface in connection with such activities, (vi) the disposing or containing of minerals, (vi) permitting, licensing, compliance with regulations, and similar activities. For the sake of clarity, the term “Mining Operations” applies to activities of both Parties.
ARTICLE II
JOINT OPERATIONS
2.1 Underground Issues.
(a) Mining Operations. AMI and BMC will promptly and continuously keep the other Party informed on proposed underground Mining Operations and changes to such Mining Operations. A Party may propose to take action that could reasonably be expected to materially adversely affect the other Party’s ability to conduct Mining Operations. In the event AMI’s and BMC’s respective Mining Operations on the Mining Claims could interfere with the maximization of the other’s Mining Operations, the Parties shall meet and develop a joint operations plan to facilitate and promote the maximization of both Parties’ Mining Operations. In the event that the Parties cannot agree on a joint plan, they will choose a third party arbitrator who will develop a plan of joint operations to maximize both Parties’ Mining Operations and the parties will be bound by such plan of joint operations.
C:
| 4 |
(b) In making determinations under this section, an arbitrator will take into account the number of tons to be mined and the time period for delivery of the mineral. An arrangement whereby one Party would drill through a material deposit owned by the other Party or materially and adversely disturb a material deposit owned by the other Party would not be deemed to an arrangement that maximizes both Parties’ operations.
ARTICLE III
WORK ORDERS
3.1 BMC’s Role. While BMC will own the Iron Oxide and the Iron Oxide Rights, it is intended that unless otherwise stipulated by BMC, BMC will not actually carry out Mining Operations, and the following procedures will apply.
3.2 Work Orders. From time to time with a reasonable notice, BMC will provide AMI with information as to the nature of the future Mining Operations to be performed in connection with the mining of iron oxide, the schedule for such performance, the workers to be used, and the reporting regime (the “Work Order”).
C:
| 5 |
3.3 AMI Employees. (a) Unless the Work Order stipulates otherwise, AMI will use its own employees (“AMI Employees”) to perform the work. The AMI Employees may be full-time or part-time. If AMI has no adequately trained AMI Employees on its payroll to fulfill the Work Order, AMI will procure adequately trained contract workers to fulfill the Work Order until it has adequately trained AMI Employees on its payroll to fulfill the Work Order.
(b) AMI will have direct oversight duties over the AMI Employees to ensure that AMI Employees are qualified and operate in a safe, effective and efficient manner with respect to all mining-related activities. AMI will supply all necessary training for AMI Employees with respect to the Work Order. AMI may terminate or suspend any AMI Employee for the violation of MSHA or AMI-imposed workplace safety standards.
(c) BMC will reimburse AMI for the direct labor costs of the AMI Employees in a manner so that AMI can pay the AMI Employees on a timely basis.
(d) For AMI’s services in connection with the AMI Employees, BMC will pay AMI 10% of the direct labor costs of the AMI Employees in connection with the Work Order and shall pay such amount to AMI at the same time as it pays the direct labor costs to AMI.
3.4 BMC Employees and Contract Workers. (a) If BMC elects not to use AMI Employees or if and to the extent that AMI refuses to or is unable to supply AMI Employees to perform the Work Order, BMC may elect to use independent contract workers, a contract mining firm, and/or BMC employees to perform the Work Order. AMI will assist BMC in identifying a contract mining firm is one is pursued.
(b) AMI will have direct oversight duties over the contract workers, contract mining firm and/or BMC employees to ensure that such workers with respect to all mining-related activities. AMI will supply any necessary training of such employees in connection with the Work Order.

(c) AMI may suspend or terminate any worker in accordance with MSHA rules. Unless otherwise instructed by BMI, AMI will perform at cost standard maintenance and upkeep of the building, fixtures, and Related Equipment as well as to fulfill any MSHA requests. AMI will obtain the approval of BMI before performing any repair and maintenance or action in response to MSHA requests.
(d) Contract workers will contract directly with AMI. A contract mining firm will contract directly with BMC.
(e) For AMI’s supervisory services in connection with the contract workers, a contract-mining firm and BMC employees (other than non-mining and non-milling workers), BMC will pay AMI 10% of the direct labor costs of such workers and shall pay such amount within fifteen days after the month in which such services are rendered.
3.5 Use of Equipment
(a) Equipment BMC, in connection with its Mining Operations, may use, at any time subject to not materially interfering with AMI operations, any equipment owned, leased, rented, used, or usable by AMI in connection with iron oxide Mining Operations up to and including the point of delivery to the Mill, provided that BMC pays direct cost (such as fuel) promptly and its proportionate share of repairs, replacements and maintenance. Proportionate share is based on hours of usage after the Closing Date. A preliminary list of such equipment owned, leased, rented, used, or usable by AMI is set forth in Exhibit 5, AMI Equipment Available for Use. Exhibit 5 lists the equipment that needs repair and the Party responsible for paying for such repair, all as acceptable to BMC. For the sake of clarity, the equipment in Exhibit 5 does not include the Related Equipment. However, BMC will be liable for any loss or damage resulting from its sole negligence or intentional conduct. AMI may not dispose of any such equipment without the prior written consent of BMC.
C:

(b) Use of Laboratory and Administrative Buildings. Without cost, (i) AMI may use the equipment (which AMI owns) in the Laboratory attached to the Mill for testing and analyzing minerals; (ii) BMC staff and employees may use AMI’s administrative buildings and utilities such a telephone, water and facilities for administrative work in connection with its Mining Operations. BMC may use the equipment in the laboratory for testing and analyzing minerals provided that it pays a reasonable fee for the consumables and any wear and tear related to BMC proportionate use of the equipment.
(c) Mining Operations will require the expenditure of funds in addition to labor costs; for example, mining-related consumables and associated costs being direct costs. If AMI uses its own employees it will provide the items and services necessary for the completion of the work order. If a contract-mining firm or BMC employees are used, AMI’s responsibility for such items and services will depend on the terms of engagement. BMC will reimburse AMI for such costs incurred by the fifteenth of the month after invoicing. AMI, when possible, will provide BMC an estimate of the direct costs prior to the start of any mining activities.
ARTICLE IV
ADDITIONAL COMPENSATION
(a) Net Profit Split. As additional compensation for its supervisory activities, BMC will pay AMI a Net Profit Split determined as follows:
For any sales or transfers by BMC to BMI or any affiliate (as that term is defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act of 1933) of BMI or any other person or entity BMC will pay AMI the amount that is equal to 15% (“Net Profit Split”) of the difference between $.065 per lb. and the subtrahend consisting of (i) the costs of the Mining Operations of such material estimated to be $.01 per lb., (ii) the costs of the Milling Operations of such material by BMI estimated to be $.04 per lb. and (iii) any supervisory fees (“Subtrahend”).
C:
| 8 |
It is understood that it may take time before the Subtrahend is calculable. It may also happen that the Mining or Milling Costs cannot be determined in which case the most recent Subtrahend determined be used.
BMC will provide AMI a monthly report of the volume and price of milled Iron Oxide Minerals it sells subject to this section. The report will also include a calculation of the BMI Profit Split for each sale. BMC will pay to AMI the BMI Net Profit Split no more than fifteen (15) days after BMC collects payment for the associated invoice from BMI.
This section will no longer be applicable 15 years after the Closing Date.
