Under the terms of the Letter of Intent, Northwestern will pay $5,100,000 to acquire the Firefly Project from GeoXplor. Northwestern will make an additional payment of $5,000,000 to GeoXplor once a decision is made to commence production on the Firefly Project. In addition, GeoXplor will receive 300,000 common shares from Northwestern.
