  • For each offtake, final invoice shall be issued after final assays, weights and prices are known, and final Payment shall be made within 5 business days of buyer’s receipt of the final invoice, less the provisional payment;
  • For each offtake, shipment to be approximately even spread throughout the calendar year in minimum bill of lading parcels of ~1,000dmt of concentrate (estimated to be equivalent to around two weeks of production from the Nueva Sabana Mine);
  • For each offtake, no minimum or maximum volume commitments; and
  • For each offtake, there are defined events of default which give rise to certain rights, including the right to suspend and/or terminate the offtake agreements.
