Subsequent Obligation and benefit:

PT Qinfa Mining is responsible for the subsequent investment on the coal mine exploration and development of SDE. PT Qinfa Mining will provide its best effort and support to assist SDE to reach a coal mine with the designed three million metric ton of raw coal minimum capacity within 48 months from the date of completion of the Proposed Acquisition.

WM, represented by Kokos Jiang, will provide its best effort to assist SDE to obtain any government approval and land acquisition.

In any case if SDE cannot commence production within 48 months from the date of completion of the Proposed Acquisition, 70% of shareholding in SDE will be sold back to WM at par value.

As agreed under the Heads of Agreement B, WM will only entitle to 15% of total saleable coal of SDE's production instead of dividend from SDE. Such entitlement is subject to deduction of all taxes, duties, levies, including but not limited to income tax, value added tax and royalty borne by SDE in connection with the 15% of total saleable coal.

INFORMATION ON THE GROUP AND SDE

The Group is principally engaged in coal mining, purchase and sales, filtering, storage, blending of coal and shipping transportation. PT Qinfa Mining is a limited liability company established in Indonesia and an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The scope of business of PT Qinfa Mining includes trading of coal.

SDE is a company duly registered and established in Indonesia with limited liability, which is principally engaged in coal trading. SDE is the holder of Mining Business License B in respect of coal mine located in Sungai Durian, Kotabaru, South Kalimantan, Indonesia with area of approximately 184.92 square kilometers. The coal mine is also surrounded by area that is proved to be rich in coal resources owned by a listed entity in Indonesia. Although certain drillings have been conducted on the coal mine by SDE, the result is not yet verified by independent third party. The Group has performed certain verification on existing exploration results. The Directors consider that acquisition of the shareholding of SDE under the CSPA before incurring further cost of exploration of the coal mine will safeguard the benefit of the Group.

- 5 -

The CSPA contains certain representations and warranties given by the Sellers including (i) the legal capacity of the Sellers and being sole beneficial owners; and (ii) the Sellers shall indemnify and hold harmless the Buyers in the event there are any claims and unsettled obligations before signing of Heads of Agreement B and any non-operational obligation of SDE before signing of CSPA; and (iii) any unsettled tax liabilities of SDE on or before the date of completion of share transfer will be fully responsible by the Sellers. The Group has conducted due diligence review on legal, financial and tax aspects with satisfactory result. The Directors are in the view that the interest of the Group is safeguarded under the warranties given by the Sellers.

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE PROPOSED ACQUISITION

The Proposed Acquisition gives PT Qinfa Mining opportunity to obtain Mining Business License B with relatively low cost due to remote location and undeveloped status of the relevant coal mine. Coal mine of SDE has the potential to be developed into an advanced underground coal mine with large scale production output. The Company has been actively seeking possible investment opportunities in Indonesia since 2019. The Proposed Acquisition will enable the Company to export mature exploration technology and to expand the overseas market. Should the Proposed Acquisition proved to be successful, the mining expertise of the Company and the natural resources of Indonesia shall create a synergy that sustains future growth of the Group.

The Directors are of the view that the terms of the Proposed Acquisition are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and its shareholders as a whole.

LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

As one or more of the applicable percentage ratios (as defined in the Listing Rules) in respect of the Proposed Acquisition, in aggregate with the Deposit Fund, exceed 5% but are less than 25%, the transaction contemplated under the CSPA constitutes a discloseable transaction of the Company and is subject to the notification and announcement requirements under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.
