                             SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT

                         FISCHER-WATT GOLD COMPANY, INC.
                       1621 North Third Street, Suite 1000
                           Coeur d'Alene, Idaho 83814


     1. Subscription. Pursuant to this subscription agreement (the "Agreement"),
the  undersigned   subscribes  to  purchase   714,300  units  (the  "Units")  of
Fischer-Watt Gold Company, Inc. (the "Company"),  a Nevada corporation,  at $.14
per Unit, for a total purchase  price of $100,002 (the "Purchase  Price").  Each
Unit consists of two shares of common stock (the  "Shares") of the Company and a
warrant to purchase one share of common stock of the Company (the "Warrant")(the
Shares,  the Warrants,  and the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of
the Warrants,  the  "Securities")  at an exercise price of $.14 through December
31, 1999.  Simultaneously with the execution of this Subscription  Agreement the
undersigned  tenders  "goods  funds" by check or wire transfer for the amount of
the Purchase Price, payable to the Company, as full payment for the Units.

     2.  Representations  and Warranties.  The undersigned hereby represents and
warrants to the Company, as follows:

     (a)  The undersigned has received from the Company, carefully reviewed, and
          is  familiar  with the  following  reports and other  documents  which
          contain information about the Company, its business, and its financial
          condition.

          (i)  Annual  Report of the  Company on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year
               ended January 31, 1997.

          (ii) Quarterly  Report of the Company on Form 10-QSB for the quarterly
               period ended October 31, 1997.

     (b)  The undersigned understands that the Company has not yet completed the
          preparation  and  filing of its Annual  Report on Form  10-KSB for the
          fiscal year ended January 31, 1998 containing financial statements for
          the fiscal year ended January 31, 1998, which was required to be filed
          with the U.S.  Securities and Exchange  Commission on or before May 1,
          1998,  and  acknowledges  that  he,  she or it has  therefore  made an
          investment  decision  to  purchase  the Units  without  the benefit of
          current  financial  information  concerning  the  Company.  While  the
          Company  anticipates  having such filing completed in the near future,
          the Company is therefore not currently in compliance with its periodic
          reporting  obligations  under U.S.  securities laws and therefore does
          not presently meet the current public information  requirement of Rule
          144. Rule 144 is therefore not presently  available for resales of the
          Securities,  other than  pursuant to Rule 144(k),  and there can be no
          assurance that it will be available for future resale transactions.

                                      - 1 -

<PAGE>



     (c)  The  undersigned  has adequate  means of providing for his, her or its
          current needs and possible personal  contingencies,  and he, she or it
          has no need, and  anticipates no need in the foreseeable  future,  for
          liquidity in his, her or its investment in the Units. He, she or it is
          able to bear the economic risks of this investment and,  consequently,
          without  limiting the  generality of the  foregoing,  he, she or it is
          able to hold the Securities for an indefinite period of time and has a
          sufficient net worth to sustain a loss of the entire investment in the
          event such loss should occur.

     (d)  The undersigned has had an opportunity to ask questions of and receive
          satisfactory answers from the Company, or any person or persons acting
          on the Company's  behalf,  concerning the terms and conditions of this
          investment,  and all such  questions  have been  answered  to the full
          satisfaction of the undersigned.

     (e)  The  Securities  will be acquired  for his, her or its own account for
          investment,  with no present intention of dividing such  participation
          with others or reselling  the  Securities,  and not with a view toward
          resale or  distribution  in a manner which would require  registration
          under the  Securities  Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act") or any
          applicable state securities laws (the "Blue Sky Laws"), and he, she or
          it does not now have any reason to  anticipate  any change in his, her
          or its circumstances or other particular occasion or event which would
          cause him, her or it to sell the Securities.

     (f)  The  true   address  and  social   security   number  or  federal  tax
          identification  number  of the  undersigned  is set forth  below.  The
          undersigned  is presently a bona fide resident of, is domiciled in and
          received the offer and made the decision to invest in the Units in the
          state listed in such address.

     (g)  The  undersigned  acknowledges  that the Company has made available to
          his,  her or its personal  advisors  and has  received  and  carefully
          reviewed all materials and  information  concerning  the Company which
          he, she or it deems material to making an informed investment decision
          and to evaluate the merits and risks of this  investment.  In reaching
          the  conclusion  that he, she or it desires to acquire the Units,  the
          undersigned  has  carefully   evaluated  his,  her  or  its  financial
          resources and investment  position and the risks  associated with this
          investment  and  acknowledges  that he,  she or it is able to bear the
          economic  risks of losing  his,  her or its entire  investment  in the
          Units and has the capacity to protect his, her or its own interests.

     (h)  The undersigned  understands  that neither the Securities and Exchange
          Commission nor the securities  administrator of any state has made any
          finding or  determination  relating to the advisability or fairness of
          the Units. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

     (i)  The  undersigned   understands  that  the  Securities  have  not  been
          registered  under  either  the 1933  Act or the  Blue  Sky  Laws  and,
          therefor,  cannot be resold or otherwise  transferred  unless they are
          registered  under  the  1933 Act and the  applicable  Blue Sky Laws or
          unless an exemption  from such  registration  is  available,  in which

                                      - 2 -

<PAGE>


          event the  undersigned  might still be limited as to the amount of the
          Securities that may be sold. The undersigned  understands that he, she
          or it has no rights to require  registration  of the Securities  under
          the 1933 Act or the Blue Sky Laws at any time.

     (j)  The undersigned  understands  that any  certificates  representing the
          Securities   will  be   imprinted   with  a   conspicuous   legend  in
          substantially the following form:

               The securities represented by this certificate have not been
               registered or qualified  under  federal or state  securities
               laws. The securities may not be offered,  sold,  pledged, or
               otherwise  transferred  unless so registered or qualified or
               unless an exemption exists,  the availability of which is to
               be established by an opinion of counsel  satisfactory to the
               Company.

     (k)  The undersigned  represents that the information  contained  herein is
          com plete and accurate and may be relied upon by the Company,  and its
          officers,  directors,  and agents. The undersigned hereby covenants to
          notify the Company  immediately  of any material  change in any of the
          information contained herein prior to the acceptance by the Company of
          his, her or its subscription.

     (l)  The undersigned  represents that it has been called to his, her or its
          attention,  by those  individuals with whom he, she or it has dealt in
          connection  with an  investment in the Company,  that this  investment
          involves  a high  degree of risk  which may  result in the loss of the
          total amount of investment.

     (m)  The  undersigned  has not made an overall  commitment  to  investments
          which are not readily marketable that is  disproportionate to his, her
          or its net worth, and his, her or its investment in the Units will not
          cause such overall commitment to become excessive.

     (n)  The  undersigned  has such  knowledge  and  experience in business and
          financial  matters and in making decisions of this type as has enabled
          him or her to evaluate the merits and risks of investing in the Units.

     3.  Indemnification.  The  undersigned  acknowledges  that  he,  she  or it
understands  the  meaning  and legal  consequences  of the  representations  and
warranties  in  Section  2  hereof,  that the  Company,  has  relied  upon  such
representations  and  warranties,  and agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the
Company, and its officers, directors,  controlling persons, agents and employees
from and against any and all loss,  damage or liability due to or arising out of
a breach of any such representation,  warranty or covenant. All representations,
warranties  and  covenants  contained in this  Subscription  Agreement,  and the
indemnification  contained in this Section 3, shall  survive the  acceptance  of
this subscription.

               WARRANT TO PURCHASE 714,300 SHARES OF COMMON STOCK

                         FISCHER-WATT GOLD COMPANY, INC.
                             (A Nevada Corporation)
                     Not Transferable or Exercisable Except
                        upon Conditions Herein Specified
                          Void after 5:00 O'Clock P.M.,
                       Pacific Time, on December 31, 1999

     Fischer-Watt  Gold  Company,  Inc., a Nevada  corporation  (the  "Company")
hereby certifies that the James Michael Seed Trust or registered  successors and
permitted assigns thereof, registered on the books of the Company maintained for
such  purposes  as the  registered  holder  hereof  (the  "Holder"),  for  value
received,  is entitled to purchase from the Company the number of fully paid and
non-assessable  shares of Common Stock of the Company, of the par value of $.001
per share (the "Shares"), stated above at the purchase price per Share set forth
below (the  "Exercise  Price")  (the number of Shares and  Exercise  Price being
subject to adjustment as  hereinafter  provided)  upon the terms and  conditions
herein  provided.  Through  December  31, 1999,  the Exercise  Price is $.14 per
share.

     1. Exercise of Warrant.

          (a) Subject to subsection (b) of this Section 1, upon presentation and
surrender of this Warrant, with the attached Purchase Form duly executed, at the
principal  office of the  Company at 1621 North Third  Street,  Suite 1000 Coeur
d'Alene,  Idaho  83814,  or at such other place as the Company may  designate by
notice to the Holder hereof,  together with a certified or bank cashier's  check
payable to the order of the  Company in the amount of the  Exercise  Price times
the number of Shares being  purchased,  the Company  shall deliver to the Holder
hereof, as promptly as practicable,  certificates  representing the Shares being
purchased.  This Warrant may be  exercised in whole or in part;  and, in case of
exercise hereof in part only, the Company,  upon surrender hereof,  will deliver
to the Holder a new Warrant or Warrants  of like tenor  entitling  the Holder to
purchase the number of Shares as to which this Warrant has not been exercised.



<PAGE>



          (b)  This  Warrant  may be  exercised  in whole or in part at any time
prior to 5:00 o'clock P.M. Pacific Time, on December 31, 1999.

     2. Exchange and Transfer of Warrant.  This Warrant at any time prior to the
exercise  hereof,  upon  presentation  and  surrender  to  the  Company,  may be
exchanged,  alone or with other Warrants of like tenor registered in the name of
the Holder,  for another  Warrant or other Warrants of like tenor in the name of
such Holder  exercisable for the same aggregate  number of Shares as the Warrant
or Warrants surrendered.

     3. Rights and Obligations of Warrant Holder.

          (a) The  Holder  of this  Warrant  shall  not,  by virtue  hereof,  be
entitled  to any rights of a  stockholder  in the  Company,  either at law or in
equity;  provided,  however, in the event that any certificate  representing the
Shares is issued to the Holder hereof upon exercise of this Warrant, such Holder
shall,  for all purposes,  be deemed to have become the holder of record of such
Shares on the date on which this Warrant, together with a duly executed Purchase
Form, was surrendered  and payment of the Exercise Price was made,  irrespective
of the date of delivery of such Share  certificate.  The rights of the Holder of
this  Warrant  are  limited  to those  expressed  herein  and the Holder of this
Warrant, by its acceptance hereof,  consents to and agrees to be bound by and to
comply with all the provisions of this Warrant,  including,  without limitation,
all the  obligations  imposed  upon the Holder  hereof by  Section 5 hereof.  In
addition, the Holder of this Warrant Certificate,  by accepting the same, agrees
that the  Company  may deem and treat the person in whose  name this  Warrant is
registered  on the  books of the  Company  maintained  for such  purpose  as the
absolute, true and lawful owner for all purposes whatsoever, notwithstanding any
notation of ownership or other  writing  thereon,  and the Company  shall not be
affected by any notice to the contrary.

          (b) No Holder of this Warrant,  as such,  shall be entitled to vote or
receive  dividends  or to be deemed the holder of Shares  for any  purpose,  nor
shall anything  contained in this Warrant be construed to confer upon any Holder
of this Warrant,  as such,  any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company or
any right to vote,  give or  withhold  consent  to any  action  by the  Company,
whether upon any  recapitalization,  issue of stock,  reclassification of stock,
consolidation,  merger,  conveyance or otherwise,  receive notice of meetings or
other action  affecting  stockholders  (except for notices provided for herein),
receive dividends,  subscription rights, or otherwise,  until this Warrant shall
have been exercised and the Shares  purchasable  upon the exercise thereof shall
have become  deliverable as provided herein;  provided,  however,  that any such
exercise  on any date  when the stock  transfer  books of the  Company  shall be
closed  shall  constitute  the  person  or  persons  in whose  name or names the
certificate  or  certificates  for those  Shares  are to be issued as the record
holder or holders  thereof  for all  purposes  at the opening of business on the
next succeeding day on which such stock transfer books are open, and the Warrant

                                       -2-

<PAGE>


surrendered  shall not be deemed to have been exercised,  in whole or in part as
the case may be, until the next succeeding day on which stock transfer books are
open for the purpose of  determining  entitlement  to dividends on the Company's
common stock.

     4. Shares  Underlying  Warrant.  The Company  covenants and agrees that all
Shares delivered upon exercise of this Warrant shall,  upon delivery and payment
therefor,   be  duly  and  validly   authorized  and  issued,   fully  paid  and
non-assessable,  and free from all stamp-taxes,  liens, and charges with respect
to the purchase thereof. In addition,  the Company agrees at all time to reserve
and keep  available  an  authorized  number of Shares  sufficient  to permit the
exercise in full of this Warrant.

     5. Disposition of Warrant or Shares.

          (a) The holder of this  Warrant  and any  transferee  hereof or of the
Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant,  by their acceptance  hereof,
hereby  understand and agree that the Warrant,  and the Shares issuable upon the
exercise  hereof,  have not been  registered  under either the Securities Act of
1933 (the "Act") or  applicable  state  securities  laws (the "State  Acts") and
shall not be sold,  pledged,  hypothecated,  donated,  or otherwise  transferred
(whether or not for consideration)  except upon the issuance to the Company of a
favorable  opinion of counsel or  submission  to the Company of such evidence as
may be satisfactory to counsel to the Company,  in each such case, to the effect
that any such transfer  shall not be in violation of the Act and the State Acts.
It shall be a condition  to the  transfer of this  Warrant  that any  transferee
hereof  deliver to the Company its written  agreement  to accept and be bound by
all of the terms and conditions of this Warrant.

          (b) The stock  certificates  of the  Company  that will  evidence  the
shares of Common  Stock with  respect to which this  Warrant may be  exercisable
will be imprinted with a conspicuous legend in substantially the following form:

          The  shares   represented  by  this  Certificate  have  not  been
          registered  under  the  Securities  Act of 1933  (the  "Act")  or
          applicable state securities laws (the "State Acts") and shall not
          be sold, pledged, hypothecated,  donated or otherwise transferred
          (whether or not for  consideration) by the holder except upon the
          issuance to the Company of a favorable  opinion of its counsel or
          submission  to the  Company  of  such  other  evidence  as may be
          satisfactory to counsel to the Company, in each such case, to the
          effect that any such  transfer  shall not be in  violation of the
          Act and the State Acts.

          The Company has not agreed to register any of the holder's  Shares for
distribution in accordance with the provisions of the Act or the State Acts and,
the Company has not agreed to comply with any exemption from registration  under
the Act or the State Acts for the resale of the holder's  Shares.  Hence,  it is
the  understanding  of the  holders  of  this  Warrant  that  by  virtue  of the
provisions of certain rules respecting  "restricted  securities"  promulgated by
the SEC,  the shares of Common  Stock of the Company  with respect to which this
Warrant may be exercisable may be required to be held  indefinitely,  unless and

                                       -3-

<PAGE>


until registered under the Act and the State Acts, unless an exemption from such
registration  is available,  in which case the holder may still be limited as to
the number of shares of Common  Stock of the Company  with respect to which this
Warrant may be exercised that may be sold.

     6. Adjustments.  The number of Shares purchasable upon the exercise of this
Warrant is subject to adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence of any of
the events enumerated below.

          (a) In case the  Company  shall:  (i) pay a dividend  in Shares,  (ii)
subdivide its outstanding Shares into a greater number of Shares,  (iii) combine
its  outstanding  Shares  into a smaller  number of Shares,  or (iv)  issue,  by
reclassification  of its Shares,  any shares of its capital stock, the amount of
Shares  purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant  immediately prior thereto
shall be adjusted so that the Holder shall be entitled to receive upon  exercise
of this  Warrant  that number of Shares  which such  Holder  would have owned or
would have been  entitled to receive  after the happening of such event had such
Holder exercised this Warrant  immediately prior to the record date, in the case
of such dividend,  or the effective  date, in the case of any such  subdivision,
combination or reclassification.  An adjustment made pursuant to this subsection
(a) shall be made  whenever  any of such events  shall  occur,  but shall become
effective  retroactively  after such record date or such effective  date, as the
case may be, as to any exercise  between such record date or effective  date and
the date of happening of any such event.

          (b) Notice to Warrant  Holders of  Adjustment.  Whenever the number of
Shares purchasable  hereunder is adjusted as herein provided,  the Company shall
cause to be  mailed to the  Holder in  accordance  with the  provisions  of this
Section 6 a notice  (i)  stating  that the  number of  Shares  purchasable  upon
exercise of this Warrant  have been  adjusted,  (ii) setting  forth the adjusted
number  of Shares  purchasable  upon the  exercise  of this  Warrant,  and (iii)
showing in  reasonable  detail the  computations  and the facts,  including  the
amount of consideration received or deemed to have been received by the Company,
upon which such adjustments are based.

     7.  Fractional  Shares.  The  Company  shall not be  required  to issue any
fraction of a Share upon the exercise of this Warrant.  If more than one Warrant
shall be surrendered for exercise at one time by the same Holder,  the number of
full Shares which shall be issuable upon  exercise  thereof shall be computed on
the basis of the  aggregate  number of Shares with respect to which this Warrant
is exercised.  If any fractional  interest in a Share shall be deliverable  upon
the exercise of this Warrant,  the Company shall make an adjustment  therefor in
cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the Exercise Price.

     8. Loss or  Destruction.  Upon  receipt  of  evidence  satisfactory  to the
Company of the loss,  theft,  destruction  or mutilation of this Warrant and, in
the case of any such loss,  theft or destruction,  upon delivery of an indemnity
agreement or bond satisfactory in form,  substance and amount to the Company or,
in the case of any such  mutilation,  upon  surrender and  cancellation  of this
Warrant, the Company at its expense will execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a
new Warrant of like tenor.

                                       -4-

<PAGE>



     9. Survival. The various rights and obligations of the Holder hereof as set
forth herein shall  survive the exercise of the Warrant  represented  hereby and
the surrender of this Warrant.

     10. Notices.  Whenever any notice,  payment of any purchase price, or other
communication  is  required  to be given or  delivered  under  the terms of this
Warrant,  it shall be in writing and delivered by hand delivery or United States
registered or certified mail,  return receipt  requested,  postage prepaid,  and
will be deemed to have been given or delivered on the date such notice, purchase
price or other communication is so delivered or posted, as the case may be; and,
if to the Company,  it will be  addressed to the address  specified in Section 1
hereof,  and if to the Holder,  it will be addressed to the registered Holder at
its, his or her address as it appears on the books of the Company.
