     On April 6, 2009, the Company acquired a 100% equity interest in CLJC in a cash-and-stock transaction from Mr. Wu Rui Lin, the president of the Company. CLJC was valued at approximately US$110 million. The Company paid US$30 million in cash and issued 40,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock valued at US$2.00 per share to Mr. Wu Rui Lin. The closing share price of the Company’s common stock as of the acquisition date was US$1.73 per share. The Company also issued 2,100,000 shares to a financial consulting firm and 100,000 shares to a law firm for services in connection with the acquisition.
     CLJC, through its wholly owned Chinese subsidiaries, owns the right to receive the expected economic residual returns from Chifeng Haozhou Mining Co., Ltd. (“Haozhou Mining”), a large copper-molybdenum poly-metallic mining company in China. Haozhou Mining owns the exploration license of a mine covering 53.9 square kilometers (the “Mine”) in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region in the People’s Republic of China (the “Acquisition”). Through exploration of 32.34 square kilometers, it was concluded that there is a reserve of 30,985 tons of molybdenum metal and an abundance of other types of mineralization, which was supported by the Technical Report issued by Behre Dolbear Asia, Inc. Haozhou intends to explore for additional mineralization on the remaining 21.56 square kilometers in the future.
     The Mine is located in Chifeng, which is a strategically important base for China’s mineral resources industry; the average grade of the molybdenum reserves of the Mine is 0.40%, which is very high compared with the global average for molybdenum mines; transportation, supply of water and electricity are economically accessible; Chifeng Haozhou is managed by a team of mining experts with demonstrated experience who are capable of operating a mining business; it has all necessary permits, approval from the PRC government authorities to explore and extract minerals from the mines, as well as environment protection permits and safety permits; the infrastructure and the initial production facility (the “Initial Project”) are believed to be sufficient to support the capacity of processing 435,000 tons of ores and producing 2,817 tons of molybdenum concentrate product annually (equivalent to 1,378 tons of molybdenum metal). The Mine commenced commercial operations in July 2009. It is planned that, as of 2011, the production capacity will eventually increase to a level to process 540,000 tons of ores and produce 3,526 tons of molybdenum concentrate on an annual basis.
     Since the Acquisition constituted a material related party transaction, the Board of Directors of the Company determined to establish an independent special acquisition committee (the “Committee”) to evaluate and negotiate with Mr. Wu with respect to the Acquisition. In order to maintain the independence of the Committee, Mr. Rui Lin Wu (our Chairman and CEO) and Mr. Zhi Yang Wu (our Vice Chairman and eldest son of Rui Lin Wu) were excluded from membership on the Committee.
The members of the Committee and their respective relationships with the Company and our Board of Directors were as follows:
(i) Mr. Qian Mao Gen, senior geological engineer, was engaged as a consultant to the Company in connection with the Company’s diversification efforts into the resources industry in 2007 and was appointed as a member of the Committee in February 2009.
(ii) Mr. Peng Bin, geological engineer, was engaged as a consultant to the Company in connection with the Company’s diversification efforts into the resources industry in 2007 and appointed as a member of the Committee in February 2009.

 


 

(iii) Dr. Edward Tsai was elected as a independent director of the Company and appointed as a member of the Company’s audit committee in December 2007 and was appointed as a member of the Committee in February 2009.
(iv) Professor Yi Hong Zhang was elected as a independent director of the Company and appointed as a member of the Company’s audit committee in December 2004 and was appointed as a member of the Committee in February 2009.
(v) Mr. Ze Yun Mu was elected as a independent director of the Company and appointed as a member of the Company’s audit committee in September 2003 and was appointed as a member of the Committee in February 2009.
     Mr. Wu and the Committee agreed that the consideration for the Acquisition should be based on the valuation report of a reputable valuation firm. The management of the Company recommended American Appraisal China Limited to the Committee. The Committee had a discussion with Mr. Wu, and both parties agreed to engage American Appraisal China Limited to serve as the internal valuator for the Acquisition and required American Appraisal China Limited to provide to the Committee a price range in its valuation report to facilitate the negotiation between the Committee and Mr. Wu. American Appraisal is a large independent worldwide valuation consulting firm with more than 50 offices in five continents, providing multi-disciplined appraisal services in business, real estate and industrial valuation. American Appraisal China Limited does not have any past and present affiliations with the Company other than prior valuation projects which it performed for the Company in the past.
     The US$110,000,000 purchase price for the Acquisition was reached by negotiations between Mr. Wu and the Committee based primarily on the valuation report of American Appraisal China Limited as of November 30, 2008 which established a valuation range of US$77,013,000 to US$128,957,000. The appraisal report served as an internal reference for the negotiation of the purchase price for the Acquisition.
INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
     A representative of Crowe Horwath & Company LLP is expected to attend the meeting and will have the opportunity to make a statement if he or she so desires. This representative is expected to be available to respond to appropriate shareholder questions at that time.
