        <footnote id="F1">On March 28, 2007, Royal Gold entered into a Bridge Finance Facility Agreement with Battle Mountain Gold Corporation (&quot;Battle Mountain&quot;) and BMGX (Barbados) Corporation, as borrowers, whereby Royal Gold will make available to the borrowers a bridge facility of up to $20 million.  On April 14, 2007, pursuant to the terms of the bridge facility, the maximum availability of the bridge facility was reduced to $15 million. Outstanding principal, interest and expenses under the bridge facility may be converted at Royal Gold's option into Battle Mountain common stock, par value $0.001, at a conversion price per share of $0.60 any time during the term of the bridge facility. On May 9, 2007, Royal Gold advanced an additional $600,000 pursuant to the facility.  Currently, Battle Mountain has borrowed $14,514,552 under the facility. The bridge facility will mature on March 28, 2008.</footnote>
