The Loan bears interest at a rate of 8% per annum payable on maturity. Previously, GAC also provided Kimpar with a $25,000 non-refundable deposit on or about July 24, 2008.

Prior to, and as a condition of, the closing of the Transaction, Kimpar will use its commercially reasonable efforts to complete private placements of 2,333,333 subscription receipts of Kimpar for aggregate gross proceeds of $1,550,000, being comprised of a subscription receipt unit offering (the "Unit Offering") for gross proceeds of $800,000 and a "flow-through" subscription receipt unit offering (the "FT Offering") for gross proceeds of $750,000. Pursuant to the Unit Offering, 1,333,333 subscription receipts of Kimpar will be sold at a price of $0.60 per subscription receipt (each a, "Unit Subscription Receipt"). Each Unit Subscription Receipt will entitle the holder thereof to one unit of Kimpar (each, a "Unit") with each Unit consisting of one Kimpar Common Share and one common share purchase warrant of Kimpar (each, a "Warrant"). Pursuant to the FT Offering, 1,000,000 subscription receipts of Kimpar will be sold at a price of $0.75 per subscription receipt (each, a "FT Unit Subscription Receipt"). Each FT Unit Subscription Receipt will entitle the holder thereof to one unit of Kimpar (each, an "FT Unit") with each FT Unit consisting of one Kimpar Common Share issued on a "flow-through" basis pursuant to the Income Tax Act (Canada) and one Warrant. Each Warrant will be exercisable to acquire one Kimpar Common Share at a price of $0.80 per share for 24 months from the date of issuance. The Unit Offering and the FT Offering are collectively referred to herein as the "Private Placement".

The proceeds from the FT Offering will be used for the exploration and development of the Vortex Claims and the Nightstone Quarry, as well as for general working capital purposes. Kimpar has also engaged Union Securities Inc. in connection with the Private Placement ("Union") to arrange for subscriptions under the Private Placement. The finder's fee payable to Union shall be up to 8% of the gross proceeds from the sale of the securities of Kimpar under the Private Placement. In addition, Kimpar may grant to Union a number of options ("Kimpar Agent's Options") that is equal to up to 8% of the number of securities of Kimpar sold by Union under the Private Placement. Each Kimpar Agent's Option will entitle the holder thereof to acquire one Unit at a price of $0.80 per Unit on or before 24 months from the date of issuance.

As previously disclosed in GAC's news release of September 17, 2008, Kimpar sold, pursuant to a non-brokered private placement (the "Non-Brokered Placement"), 600,000 subscription receipts issued on a "flow-through" basis (the "Flow-Through Subscription Receipts") at a price of $1.25 per Flow-Through Subscription Receipt for aggregate gross proceeds of $750,000. The terms of the Flow-Through Subscription Receipts have since been amended such that each Flow-Through Subscription Receipt entitles the holder to 1.666 "flow-through" units of Kimpar (each, a "Flow-Through Unit"), with each Flow-Through Unit being comprised of one Kimpar Common Share issued on a "flow-through" basis under the Income Tax Act (Canada) and one-half of one common share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a "Receipt Warrant"). Each Receipt Warrant is exercisable to purchase one Kimpar Common Share at a price of $0.80 per share for a period of twenty-four (24) months from the time the Flow-Through Subscription Receipts are exchanged into Flow-Through Units. For further details about the Non-Brokered Placement, please refer to GAC's news release dated September 17, 2008, a copy of which is available under GAC's profile on SEDAR.

Pursuant to the terms of the Transaction: (i) the holders of the Kimpar Common Shares will receive one New GAC Share with a deemed value of $0.60 per share for each share owned; and (ii) the outstanding agents' options, stock options and Warrants of Kimpar will be replaced with agents' options, stock options and share purchase warrants of GAC, with identical terms.

After completion of the Transaction (including the Private Placement), the current Kimpar shareholders will hold approximately 65.78% of the New GAC Shares, the current GAC shareholders will hold approximately 15.68% of the New GAC Shares, and the subscribers to the Private Placement will hold approximately 18.45% of the New GAC Shares.

The Transaction is an arm's length transaction as no related party of GAC has any interest in Kimpar. Accordingly, the Transaction will not, as currently contemplated, be subject to approval by the shareholders of GAC.
