A non-refundable fee of $25,000 was paid to Monterey in connection with the granting of the option.
With New Age Exploration having last traded at $0.013 on the Australian Securities Exchange, it values the initial transaction at approximately $325,000. Likewise, the option, should it be exercised, would have an approximate valuation of $1.0 million based on the closing price of New Age.
