the Parties resolve to enter into this “Call Option Option Agreement for Mineral Rights and Other Covenants” (the “Agreement”), which shall be governed by the clauses and conditions set forth below.
1. CALL OPTION
1.1 Call Option. By this Agreement, the Grantors hereby irrevocably and irreversibly grant the Grantee a call option to all of the Rights, as described and characterized in Annex I. hereto, as well as the Exploration Application described in detail in Annex II. hereto (the “Call Option”).
1.2 Premium. The Parties agree that this Call Option will be for a fee, establishing as a premium the amount of five hundred and thirty thousand reais (BRL 530,000.00) (the “Premium”), to be paid to the Grantors, on this date, in proportion to the total number of hectares of Mineral Rights owned by each, by wire transfer to the current accounts of the Grantors indicated in Annex 1.2..

1.3 Exclusivity. The Call Option is granted by the Grantors to the Grantee on an exclusive basis, provided that the Grantors may not, during the term of this Agreement, (i.) grant any other option involving all or part of the Mineral Rights to third parties, or (ii.) in any other way dispose of or encumber, or promise to dispose of or encumber the Mineral Rights, in any capacity, to third parties, in whole or in part; or (iii.) directly or indirectly enter into any other commitment or agreement involving the Mineral Rights,
4
or in any way related to them (the “Exclusivity”), under penalty of incurring a fine immediately set between the Parties at five million US dollars (US$ 5,000,000.00), equivalent to one hundred percent (100%) of the Exercise Price defined in 2.1. below, without prejudice to the obligation to indemnify the Grantee for losses and damages and lost profits.
1.4 Authorized Assignees. This Call Option may be assigned by the Grantee, regardless of the consent of the Grantors and upon mere notice to that effect, provided that the full amount of the Premium, defined above, is paid, and in the manner provided for in item 7.9 below, to any company directly or indirectly controlled by the Grantee, or any company subject to common control, directly or indirectly, with the Grantee, as well as to the partners of any of these or to companies of which the companies or individuals indicated in this item are partners (generically, the “Authorized Assignees”), provided that each and every provision of this Agreement shall apply in full to the Authorized Assignees. References in this Agreement to the Grantee shall be construed as references to Alpha and any of the Authorized Assignees.
1.5 Exploration Application. The Grantors undertake, jointly and severally, to take any and all possible actions to ensure that the aforementioned Exploration Application is converted into a research authorization on behalf of Bautek, in accordance with current law, submitting all documents and information required by the ANM as quickly as possible, in order to ensure the exercise of the Call Option by the Grantee. The Grantors also undertake, jointly and severally, to, within a maximum period of five (5) business days after the publication of the research authorization linked to the Exploration Application, send a notice to the Grantee, as set forth in item 7.9 below, informing of this circumstance (the “Research Authorization Grant Notice”). During the entire term of this Agreement, any relevant information related to the progress of the proceeding registered with the ANM under No. 832,221/2021 must be immediately communicated to the Grantee.
2. EXERCISE PRICE AND PAYMENT METHOD.
2.1 Exercise Price. The total, clear and legal price to be paid by the Grantee to the Grantors, in consideration for the acquisition of all Mineral Rights, in the event of exercise of the Call Option, will be the amount in BRL (Reais) equivalent to five million and three hundred thousand US dollars (US$ 5,300,000.00), calculated based on the US$ (US dollar) purchase rate, as announced by the Central Bank of Brazil on the business day immediately prior to the respective payment date (the “Exercise Price”), to be disbursed as follows:
5
6
2.1.4.1. Valuation of REA Shares. The appraisal value of the REA Shares that may be delivered to the Grantors as payment of the Exercise Price, Partial Exercise Price, or Residual Exercise Price, as applicable (the “REA Share Valuation Value”), will be calculated based on the criteria set forth in this item 2.1.4.1. If, on the date of the Exercise Notice, the shares issued by REA are publicly traded on the Australian Securities Exchange or any other exchange that may replace it (the “ASX”), (i) the REA Share Valuation Value will be equivalent to the average closing price traded on the ASX in the thirty (30) days prior to the Exercise Notice. The valuation method set forth in 2.1.4.1.(i) will also apply in cases where REA merges with an Australian public company with shares traded on the ASX, or is merged with an Australian public company with shares traded on the ASX; In these cases, the average price of the shares of the REA or the company that succeeds the REA must be considered, as described in 2.1.4.1.(i.). If the criterion set forth in 2.1.4.1.(i.) is inapplicable, (ii.) the REA Share Appraisal Value will be equivalent to the market value determined in the last corporate capital raising transaction carried out by the REA or in the last merger, consolidation, or spin-off of the REA, provided that the latter were carried out at market value, prior to the date of sending the Exercise Notice. The REA and the Grantee are obliged to share with the Grantors any information regarding said transaction that is necessary to ensure that the latter have all the relevant data and elements to evaluate their option, in whole or in part, to receive the Exercise Price, the Partial Exercise Price, and the Residual Exercise Price, as applicable, as provided for in 2.1.4. above. If, on the date of sending the Exercise Notice, the criterion set forth in 2.1.4.1.(ii.) is also inapplicable, the Grantees will not be able to choose the payment method indicated in 2.1.4., above.
2.1.4.2. Payment Notice. Within a maximum period of five (5) business days after the Grantee sends the Exercise Notice, as defined in 3.1. below, the Grantors may, upon mutual agreement and by sending a notice to the Grantee, as set forth in item 7.9. below (the “Payment Notice”), request that the payment of the Exercise Price or the Partial Exercise Price, as applicable, be made in whole or in part in REA Shares, provided that the criterion set forth in 2.1.4.1.(i.) or the criterion set forth in 2.1.4.1.(ii.) applies. The Payment Notice must contain, at a minimum, the following information: (i.) the amount of the Exercise Price to be paid in BRL (Reais) to each of the Grantors, provided that this amount will be divided into two installments, in the same proportions adopted in items 2.1.(a.) and 2.1.(b.) above; (ii.) the amount of the Exercise Price to be paid in REA Shares to each of the Grantors. In the event that the Payment Notice is not sent within the period provided for in this item, the Parties immediately agree that the payment method of the Exercise Price shall be that originally provided for in 2.1.3. above, i.e., in Brazilian currency.
7
2.2 No change to the Exercise Price. The Parties declare that the Exercise Price and the Partial Exercise Price were set by full and mutual agreement and hereby irrevocably and irreversibly express their full and unrestricted agreement regarding their value and payment methods. Therefore, the Exercise Price is definitive, unchangeable and binding, and is thus not subject to any other changes and/or adjustments of any nature, for any reason and at any time.
3. EXERCISE OF THE CALL OPTION.
3.1 Exercise of the Call Option. The Call Option may be exercised at any time during the term of this Agreement, as set forth in 5.1. below. The Grantee must express its intention to exercise the Call Option by sending written notice to the Grantors, as set forth in item 7.9. below (the “Exercise Notice”); the Exercise Notice must contain, at a minimum, the following information: (i.) intention to acquire all of the Mineral Rights or to exercise them partially, provided that authorized as set forth in item 2.1.3. above; (ii.) Appraisal Value of the REA Shares, represented by the closing price of REA-issued shares traded on the ASX or the shares of a publicly-held company that mergers REA, for the thirty (30) days prior to the Exercise Notice and the average price traded during the period, if applicable, or by the last net asset value of REA, considering the consolidation of all its subsidiaries, indicating the net asset value per share issued. The Exercise Price must be paid under the strict terms and deadlines set forth in items 2.1 et seq. above, and in the form requested in the Payment Notice, within a maximum period of thirty (30) days after the Exercise Notice is sent. The date of payment of the First Installment of the Exercise Price and/or delivery of the REA Shares to the Grantors, as applicable, provided it is preceded by the Exercise Notice, will be considered the Call Option exercise date (the “Exercise Date”) for all purposes of this Agreement and any legal transactions resulting from the exercise of the Call Option. If the Grantee does not exercise the Call Option within the term of the Agreement, the transaction will terminate at no cost to the Parties, and the Grantors will not be obligated to return the Premium. Furthermore, the data and information obtained and produced by the Grantee in the Mineral Exploration must be sent to the Grantors within ten (10) business days.
8
3.2 Obligation to assign Mineral Rights. Once the Call Option has been exercised and provided that the conditions set forth in 3.1. above are met, in particular the payment of the First Installment of the Exercise Price, the Grantors will be irrevocably obligated to carry out the sale and consequent transfer of ownership of the Mineral Rights to the Grantee, in accordance with the draft Mineral Rights Assignment Agreement and Other Covenants that is included herein as Annex 3.2.(i.) and, likewise, the Grantee will be irrevocably obligated to acquire the Mineral Rights, in accordance with the terms indicated in its Exercise Notice and according to the conditions mentioned in the Payment Notice. Whereas (i.) the Exercise Price will be divided into two (2) distinct installments and (ii.) only the First Installment of the Exercise Price will have been paid on the Exercise Date, the Mineral Rights Assignment Agreement and Other Covenants, referred to in this item 3.2., must be signed together with the Private Instrument of Fiduciary Transfer of Mineral Rights and Other Covenants, the draft of which is included herein as Annex 3.2.(ii.). In the event of Partial Exercise or exercise of the Residual Option, the Parties must also adopt the drafts in Annexes 3.2.(i.) and 3.2.(ii.), implementing the appropriate adaptations.
9
3.3 Additional Documents. The Parties undertake, in good faith and in the interest of ensuring compliance with the Call Option governed by this Agreement, to execute any and all documents and perform any and all acts necessary for the definitive transfer of the Mineral Rights to the Grantee, as applicable.
3.4 Changes to Mineral Rights. Without prejudice to the obligations to provide information and documents provided for in Chapter 4 below, the Grantors hereby jointly and severally undertake, in the event of any changes to the intrinsic characteristics of the Mineral Rights, at any time and for any reason, to immediately notify the Grantee, as set forth in item 7.9 below, ensuring that the latter has, regardless of any request to that effect, all the information necessary to assess, at any time during the term of this Agreement, the advisability of exercising the Call Option.
4. DUE DILIGENCE AND RESEARCH RIGHT.
4.1 Feasibility Study. The Grantors hereby declare that they are aware that (i.) conducting a legal, technical, mineralogical, and environmental audit, including regulatory and operational analyses (the “Due Diligence”), is essential for the Grantee to have all the information necessary to assess, at any time during the term of this Agreement, the advisability of exercising the Call Option; and (ii.) the payment of the Premium provided for in 1.2 above was stipulated based on the criterion and condition of the effective (and future) provision, by the Grantors to the Grantee, of the information provided for in this Chapter 4 of the Agreement.
4.2 “Due Diligence”. To justify the payment of the Premium and to assess the appropriateness of exercising the Call Option, the Grantee will conduct, at its discretion and subject to the confidentiality set forth in 7.11. below, a “Due Diligence” on the Mineral Rights, intending to ensure the obtaining of all information it deems pertinent regarding legal, technical, mineral, environmental, or any other issues that may interfere with its conclusion regarding the exercise of the Call Option.
10
4.3 Failure to comply with deadlines. In the event of failure to comply with any of the deadlines established in 4.2.1. and 4.2.3., unless the delay is demonstrably justified by the delay of the public bodies involved in issuing any requested document, the total number of days of delay will be added to the term of this Agreement, as set forth in 5.1. below, thus postponing the term of the Call Option granted in this Agreement.
5. VALIDITY.
5.1 Term. The provisions of this Agreement shall be valid and effective from the date of its execution for a period of twelve (12) months, extendable as set forth in 4.3. and 4.3.1. above.

2. PURPOSE.

64
3.2. No change to the Purchase Price.

4.6. No relationship. Under no circumstances will any employment relationship or labor or social security obligations be presumed or established under this Agreement between the Assignors and the Assignee’s employees and service providers, or between the Assignee and the Assignors’ employees and service providers.

4.7. Obligation of the Assignors to indemnify. The Assignors hereby undertake to indemnify, protect, safeguard, and hold the Assignee harmless, and shall also pay on the Assignee’s behalf or reimburse it, as the case may be, for any and all losses incurred by the Assignee as a result of or in connection with the following circumstances: (a.) any default or failure of the Assignors to fulfill or perform any obligation under this Agreement; and/or (b.) any breach, falsehood, or inaccuracy with respect to the representations and warranties provided by the Assignors in this Agreement; and/or (c.) any loss or contingency of any nature related to the Mineral Rights, including, but not limited to, environmental, labor, tax, regulatory, or punitive contingencies, among others, incurred to date, even if created subsequently; and/or (d.) any loss or contingency of any nature related to the exploitation of Clay by the Assignors or third parties, in the area of Mining Law.

Description of Clay characteristics.
1. Introduction.
Refractory clay is a type of clay with high heat resistance and is used in the manufacture of refractory materials such as bricks, blocks, and linings for ovens, furnaces, and other high-temperature equipment.
The impurities Fe2O3 (iron oxide) and K2O (potassium oxide) are common in the composition of refractory clay. Fe2O3 can affect the color of the final material and its resistance to thermal shock, while K2O can influence the physical properties of the clay, such as its fusibility. Al2O3 contents are fundamental to the refractory properties of the clay. In general, the higher the Al2O3 content, the greater the heat resistance of the material. Al2O3 contents of 50%, 60%, and 70% indicate different degrees of heat resistance and physical characteristics of the refractory clay, with higher contents typically providing greater resistance to high temperatures.
2. Definition of Minimum Contents.
For the clays present on the Poços de Caldas plateau, we can then consider the following contents as cut-off contents for refractory clays with different alumina contents:
