FURTHER EXTENSION OF REPAYMENT DEADLINE UNDER THE SUPPLEMENTAL ESCROW AGREEMENT IN RELATION TO THE TERMINATION OF VERY SUBSTANTIAL ACQUISITION

Reference is made to the Announcements and Circular of the Company in relation to the Termination.

As at the date of this announcement, the Vendor has deposited the remaining balance of the Repayment Amount as HK$19,999,999.70 into the Escrow Account. The Escrow Agent has duly deposited HK$10,000,000 of the HK$19,999,999.70 paid by the Vendor, as the third Installment, into the relevant bank account of the Purchaser, which has been confirmed by the Purchaser as duly received. The remainder amount of HK$9,999,999.70 shall remain in escrow pending payment of the Accrued Interest by the Vendor.

Upon receipt of the third Installment, the Purchaser submitted a Resignation Letter executed by one of the remaining two directors appointed into Hongwen Gold, pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement. As at the date of this announcement, five directors appointed into Hongwen Gold have resigned from their office. The only remaining director appointed by the Purchaser into Hongwen Gold shall resign subsequent to the Purchaser receiving the final Installment from the Escrow Agent.

As additional time is required by the Vendor to arrange for the payment of the Accrued Interest arising from late repayment of the Repayment Amount, the Vendor and the Purchaser agreed to enter into the Second Supplemental Escrow Agreement to further extend the Repayment Deadline from 7 June 2011 to 21 June 2011.
