3. QUANTITY

(a) During the term of this Agreement, for so long as Buyer retains at least a 10% Participating Interest in each of MPR and Seller, determined without taking into account any dilution of Buyer’s interest in MPR and/or Seller that may occur by virtue of Buyer electing not to invest in an Expansion or Modification or dilution (if any) resulting from a pro rata return of capital, Buyer shall have the right and not the obligation, each year, to elect to purchase:

(i) 100%;

(ii) none; or

(iii) the lesser of: (A) 100%; and (B) a maximum tonnage specified by Buyer, which maximum tonnage shall be no less than 25% of the Preliminary Concentrates Budget (as defined below),

of the Concentrates during the following Calendar Year, such election to be made via a written declaration to be delivered by Buyer to Seller (each a “Buyer Election”) by no later than October 31 each year, with the first such election to be made on October 31, 2025, subsequent to the provision of a preliminary estimate of Concentrates production for the following year to be given by Seller to Buyer (each such estimate, a “Preliminary Concentrates Budget”) by no later than September 30 each year, with the first such estimate to be delivered no later than September 30, 2025. If Buyer fails to deliver a Buyer Election by October 31 of a given year (subject to extension, if any, under paragraph (b) below), then Buyer shall be deemed to have elected to purchase none of the Concentrates in the following Calendar Year, and Seller shall be free to sell or otherwise dispose of Concentrates in such Calendar Year, subject to the requirements in the A&R JVA. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties agree that Buyer shall be deemed to have elected to purchase all Concentrates during the 2025 Calendar Year, unless otherwise agreed in writing by the parties, acting reasonably, and all commercial terms hereunder shall apply to the purchase and sale of such Concentrates. In respect of deliveries of Concentrates in the 2024 Calendar Year, all provisions of, and all commercial terms agreed between the parties under, the Original Offtake Agreement shall be deemed to apply as if such terms were repeated in this Agreement.

(b) If a Preliminary Concentrates Budget is not delivered to Buyer by September 30 of any year, the period allowed to Buyer to make its election shall be extended by the number of days of delay in the delivery of the Preliminary Concentrates Budget, or Buyer may, in its discretion, make a Buyer Election in the absence of the relevant Preliminary Concentrates Budget. Moreover, if any proposed Program and Budget for the relevant year delivered in accordance with Section 12.2 of the A&R JVA contemplates production of Concentrates that differs by more than 10% from the relevant Preliminary Concentrates Budget, Buyer shall be afforded 15 additional days after the delivery of such proposed Program and Budget to make, or to revise, its Buyer Election.

(c) In the event that Buyer does not elect, or is deemed to have elected not, to purchase any of the production of Concentrates for each of three consecutive years, then, at the option of Seller, to be communicated in writing to Buyer within 90 days of such circumstance arising, Buyer’s rights under this Clause 3 shall be suspended, and shall remain suspended until such time (if any) as such rights are revived at the election of Buyer, upon 12 months’ prior written notice from Buyer to Seller stating that Buyer wishes for its rights to be reinstated (a “Buyer Reinstatement Notice”). The rights shall then be reinstated for production of Concentrates in the Calendar Year following the reinstatement date, which reinstatement date, for the avoidance of date, shall be the date that is 12 months after the date of the Buyer Reinstatement Notice. For further clarity, a Buyer Election may be made in respect of the Concentrates in the following Calendar Year.

4

(d) For so long as Buyer retains at least a 10% Participating Interest in each of MPR and Seller, determined without taking into account any dilution of Buyer’s interest in MPR and/or Seller, that may occur by virtue of Buyer electing not to invest in an Expansion or Modification or dilution (if any) resulting from a pro rata return of capital, Buyer shall have a definitive zinc offtake right with respect to any zinc concentrates produced by the Joint Venture Entities in the “Greater Los Gatos District” outlined in the attached as Appendix A, including concessions the Joint Venture Entities may acquire in the future, on the same commercial terms to those for the Concentrates, or at arm’s length terms to be negotiated if the product is of lesser quality.

4. DURATION / COMMERCIAL TERMS / NEGOTIATION

(a) This Agreement shall be effective from the Effective Date and shall continue annually until Buyer gives a written notice of the termination of this Agreement to Seller no less than twelve (12) months before the end of the last Calendar Year for which this Agreement shall remain in effect.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, this Agreement may be terminated pursuant to Section 11.1 of the A&R JVA in accordance with the provisions set forth therein.

(b) Subject to the foregoing, the intention of both parties is for this Agreement to continue as long as Concentrates are produced and the A&R JVA has not been terminated in accordance with its terms.

(c) The following pre-defined commercial terms (the “Pre-Defined Commercial Terms”) shall apply to all purchases and sales of Concentrates under this Agreement from and after January 1, 2025:

(i) Treatment charges, escalators/de-escalators and metal payability (other than for silver) shall be determined in accordance with the benchmark terms published by Fastmarkets.

(ii) For silver content, there shall be a fixed deduction of [***] ounces per dmt, with the remainder of silver content being [***]% payable; provided that the [***]% payability percentage shall be reduced to match the global benchmark if the global benchmark payability percentage for silver content falls below [***]% for “standard” quality zinc concentrates.

(iii) There shall be a set fluorine penalty of USD [***], per dmt, for every [***] ppm of contained fluorine above the [***] ppm threshold.

(iv) There shall be a set silica (SiO2) penalty of USD [***], per dmt, for every percentage point by which the silica content exceeds [***]%.

(v) There shall be a set iron penalty of USD [***], per dmt, for each percentage point by which the iron content exceeds [***]%.

(vi) There shall be a set arsenic penalty of USD [***], per dmt, for each one-tenth of a percentage point by which the arsenic content exceeds [***]%.

5

For greater certainty, neither party shall be obliged to renegotiate any of the Pre-Defined Commercial Terms for any reason. Nothing in this Agreement, including the Pre-Defined Commercial Terms shall supersede any commercial terms agreed between the parties in respect of deliveries of Concentrates in the 2024 Calendar Year.

(d) Buyer and Seller shall review, negotiate in good faith, and agree on all commercial terms other than the Pre-Defined Commercial Terms, as provided for in Clauses 9, 10, 11 and 12 annually, to ensure that such other terms reflect prevailing world market terms between arm’s length parties for long-term sales for shipments of similar quantity and quality of Concentrates to Japan for the period in which Concentrates shipments are scheduled; provided, however, if Buyer or Seller notifies the other party that any of such arm’s length terms have changed favourably to Buyer or Seller, as the case may be, Buyer and Seller shall negotiate in good faith to reflect such changed terms in this Agreement; provided, further, that no such obligation to negotiate shall apply to any changes relating to the Pre-Defined Commercial Terms. The intent of this paragraph (d) is to apply solely to renegotiation of commercial terms (other than the Pre-Defined Commercial Terms), and not legal terms under this Agreement, and neither party shall be liable to the other if it is unable to agree on any revisions to such commercial terms.

(e) Except for the Pre-Defined Commercial Terms, Buyer and/or Seller may request additional commercial terms beyond those in Clauses 9, 10, 11 and 12 for negotiation, if such new additional commercial terms are justified as competitive International and/or Japanese market conditions for zinc concentrate with volumes, specifications and other terms and conditions similar to those in this Agreement. Buyer and Seller must negotiate and agree such additional commercial terms.

(f) The freight and related handling and storage costs to transport Concentrates to the port of Akita, Japan, shall be borne by Seller. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Buyer requires Seller to ship Concentrates in quantities less than standard 5,000 wmt or 4,000 wmt, as the case may be, Buyer will bear dead freight costs charged by the ship owner to fill the gap between 5,000 wmt and actually loaded tonnage or between 4,000 wmt and actually loaded tonnage, as the case may be. For the avoidance of doubt, if Buyer has asked Seller (or its intermediary) to ship 4,200 wmt of Concentrates, Buyer will bear all dead freight costs for shipping concentrate quantities less than 5,000 wmt and if Buyer has requested Seller to ship 3,500 wmt of Concentrates and Seller could only quote the freight cost for 4,000 wmt, Buyer will bear all dead freight costs for the difference of 500 wmt, if ship owner requires and charges Seller to pay such dead freight costs. This dead freight charge payment by Buyer shall be revised and agreed annually, taking into consideration the quality and quantity of Concentrates produced by Seller.
