The Board is pleased to announce that Sparky International, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Company, has subscribed for 20,000,000 ordinary shares of Citigold at a total consideration
of AUD2,000,000 (equivalent to approximately RMB11,500,000). Upon completion of such

received; (2) the subscription of 20,000,000 shares of Citigold is made after having received
F.I.R.B. approval; and (3) both companies will continue to negotiate for a possible larger deal
that may see the Company take a more substantial position in Citigold and its 10,000,000 ozs
gold deposit and mining operations at Charters Towers in Australia.
The Board is of the view that active exploration and capture of new investment opportunities
is a basic strategy for the Company to participate in the development of international
mining industry. Through the participation in the financing subscription in Citigold, the
Company will become one of the important strategic shareholders of Citigold which sets the
fundamental for the Company to develop international projects on a broader and deeper level
in the future.
