Company Ltd. ("Meilan Mining"), based in the Tujia autonomous county of Tongren city, Guizhou Province, whereby Xiangzhen

Huangtu town. Meilan Mining has registered capital of RMB 1.334 million (US$ 211,024), and holds 100% of the mining rights to the
Fengshuiling mine of Banchang county. Prior to the agreement with Xiangzhen, both Qianshi Resources and Meilan Mining were wholly
owned by two individual investors respectively.
According to the terms of the agreement, Xiangzhen
will use 337,457 of China Shen Zhou's common shares, which is equivalent to RMB 6 million (approximately US$94,482, assuming
a price of US$2.80 per share and an exchange rate of US$1= RMB 6.35) to acquire a 60% ownership stake in Qianshi Resources's
equity, leaving the two original owners holding a 40% stake in Qianshi Resources's equity. Xiangzhen will use 506,186 of

and barite are estimated to be 100,000 metric tons and 200,000 metric tons, respectively. The annual ore processing capacity of
the fluorite floatation plant of Qianshi Resources in Huangtu town is estimated to be 60,000 metric tons per year, which is expected
to increase to 100,000 metric tons per year once a technology upgrade is completed. Fengshuiling mine's resources of fluorite
and barite are estimated to be 400,000 metric tons and 600,000 metric tons, respectively. All estimated reserves require further

to be 15,000 metric tons of fluorite powder, 15,000 metric tons of barite powder and 20,000 metric tons of barite lump, generating
revenues of US$ 8.0 million, and net profit of US$ 2.0 million for the 2012 fiscal year.
