Item 4 Summary of Material Change
The Company and Goldcorp Inc. have entered into a binding Investment Framework Agreement (IFA).
Item 5 Full Description of Material Change
The IFA formalizes the terms of a previously announced Letter of Intent that provides Goldcorp with an option to acquire an interest in certain mining properties held by or acquired by Quaterra in central Mexico in return for funding a two-year generative exploration program by the Company through a private placement investment of US$10 million in the Company.
The first US$4 million portion of the private placement has closed and consists of units at C$1.41 comprised of 3,001,418 common shares of the Company and 1,500,709 two-year share purchase warrants exercisable at C$1.76 per share to purchase up to 1,500,709 common shares of the Company. Under applicable securities laws, the hold periods will expire on June 5, 2010.
Under the IFA, Goldcorp has an option to acquire up to 65% in any property held by Quaterra in central Mexico, with the exception of Nieves, by spending an additional US$2 million over a two-year period on advanced exploration on that property and by completing a Feasibility Study. Thereafter, Goldcorp will solely fund operations at the property until a production decision is made, at which point Quaterra will be responsible for contributing its proportionate share of expenditures.
The IFA currently includes 12 properties covering over 950 square miles. Exploration will focus on discovering large Peñasquito-style gold-silver deposits. Several of the early-stage Quaterra properties, most notably Sabino and Onix, have Peñasquito-type potential. Ground geophysics are currently in progress, with drilling planned for the second quarter 2010.
