The Chapalota property was acquired by Riverside through staking and is wholly-owned by Riverside. To exercise an initial option and acquire a 51% interest in the Chapalota property, Arcus is required to pay Riverside $300,000 cash, issue Riverside 350,000 Arcus shares and incur exploration expenditures of $4,000,000 prior to the fourth anniversary of the option agreement.
