PROGRESS UPDATE ON THE DISPOSALS
The Board wishes to update the potential investors of the Company and the Shareholders that the Company, the Vendor and the Purchaser have been working closely together to address the issues mentioned in the announcement of the Company dated 31 December 2014.

the Zunxiao Railway entered into several contracts to confirm the amount payable by the Target Companies to the contractors of the Zunxiao Railway and have been continuously coordinating with local governments to ascertain the amount of the additional land premium.
Since January 2015, the Target Companies have been negotiating with local authorities to ascertain the amount of the additional land premium payable. On 22 January 2015, the Target Company has engaged an independent valuer in the PRC to assess and evaluate the overlaid mine near the Tangcheng Section and is expected to be completed by the end of April 2015.
Although it is uncertain as to when the approvals from the authorities will be obtained, the Company, the Vendor and the Purchaser are optimistic and at present do not foresee any material obstacles in obtaining such approvals. The Company, the Vendor and the Purchaser are working proactively to obtain the relevant approvals and intend to proceed with the Disposals. The Board reckons that there have been a prolonged delay in obtaining the requisite approvals and in the despatch of the Circular which in turn causing a delay in the Completion. In view that the financial position and operations of the Group will be significantly improved after the Completion and the prolonged delay would not hinder the approval process nor would it incur material additional resources for the Company to carry out its daily operations, the Board is of the view that notwithstanding the prolonged delay, the Disposals in the long run are in the interest of the Company and its shareholders as a whole.
DELAY IN DESPATCH OF CIRCULAR
As disclosed in the Announcements, it was expected that the Circular containing, among others, further information about the Disposals and a notice of general meeting would be despatched to the Shareholders on or before 27 February 2015. As additional time is required for the Company to finalise the financial and other information of the Group for disclosure in the Circular and to resolve the issues stated above, the despatch of the Circular will be delayed to on or before 31 May 2015.
