To the Shareholders

Dear Sir or Madam,

(1) NEW CONTINUING CONNECTED TRANSACTIONS, REVISION OF APPROVED CAP AND SETTING OF ANNUAL CAPS AND

(2) PROPOSED CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME

INTRODUCTION

On 25 March 2011, the New Framework Agreement was entered into between YT Parksong Australia and the New Buyer, and the transactions pursuant to which will constitute continuing connected transactions under the Listing Rules.

Meanwhile, the Board proposes to change both the English and Chinese name of the Company in order to better reflect the Group’s existing business scope.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The purpose of this circular is to provide you with further information of (i) the New Continuing Connected Transactions and the Annual Caps; the recommendation of the Independent Board Committee in relation to the New Continuing Connected Transactions and the Annual Caps; and the advice of Partners Capital to the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in relation to the New Continuing Connected Transactions and the Annual Caps; and (ii) the Proposed Change of Name.

This circular also encloses two notices to the Shareholders including (i) a notice to convene the First EGM to consider and, if thought fit, pass the necessary resolution to approve the New Continuing Connected Transactions and the Annual Caps; and (ii) a notice to convene the Second EGM to consider and, if though fit, pass the necessary resolution to approve the Proposed Change of Name.

(1) NEW CONTINUING CONNECTED TRANSACTIONS

On 25 March 2011, the New Framework Agreement was entered into between YT Parksong Australia and the New Buyer, pursuant to which YT Parksong Australia agreed to supply and the New Buyer agreed to buy tin concentrates for the period from April 2011 to December 2013.

According to the announcement of the Company dated 4 March 2011, the Company successfully acquired the entire equity interest in Parksong Mining, which holds an equity interest of 82% in Yunnan Tin HK, which in turn wholly owns the YT Parksong Australia. Consequently, both Yunnan Tin HK and YT Parksong Australia have become non-wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company. In view that Yunnan Tin PRC is (i) the parent which wholly owns the New Buyer and the Buyer; and (ii) the substantial shareholder of Yunnan Tin HK, Yunnan Tin PRC, the New Buyer and the Buyer are the connected persons of the Company. Therefore, the transactions contemplated under the New Framework Agreement will constitute continuing connected transactions of the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

Since the New Buyer and the Buyer are wholly and beneficially owned by the Yunnan Tin PRC, the transactions between the YT Parksong Australia and both the New Buyer and the Buyer are viewed as a whole for determination of the Annual Caps. The Continuing Connected Transactions under the Framework Agreement and the Approved Cap have been duly approved by the Shareholders at the March EGM. In order to proceed with the New Continuing Connected Transactions (which is of same nature of the Continuing Connected Transactions), the Approved Cap must be revised and new annual caps for the two year ending 31 December 2013 must be set for the inclusion of the New Continuing Connected Transactions. Therefore, the Board proposes to adopt the Annual Caps.

INFORMATION OF THE BUYER

The New Buyer is a limited liability company incorporated in Australia and is principally engaged in tin mining in Australia. The New Buyer is wholly owned by Yunnan Tin PRC, a substantial shareholder of the Yunnan Tin HK (a non-wholly owned subsidiary of the Company which holds 100% equity interest of the YT Parksong Australia). Yunnan Tin PRC has the largest production and manufacturing base in the world for metal tin and the largest production centre for tin profiles, tin chemicals and arsenic chemicals in PRC. It also owns the state-level enterprise technology centre and the biggest tin research and precious metals research and development organization in PRC.

REASONS FOR AND BENEFIT OF THE CONTINUING CONNECTED TRANSACTIONS

The Group is principally engaged in manufacturing and the sale of insulation and heat resistance material and trading of copper and silicone rubber and the tin mining business in Tasmania, Australia through its non-wholly owned subsidiary YT Parksong Australia.

Having considered that the Framework Agreement entered into between YT Parksong Australia and the Buyer on 16 April 2010 would expire on 31 March 2011 and the good business relationship between YT Parksong Australia and the Buyer, the Board has entered into the New Framework Agreement with the New Buyer, as directed by Yunnan Tin PRC. The Board is of the view that (i) the Group can secure a source for deriving stable revenue and improve the Shareholders’ return as Yunnan Tin PRC is one of the world leading tin producers which requires significant amount of tin for production; and (ii) the Group can focus its resources on monitoring on the production of YT Parksong Australia and allocate resources to identify additional customers.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Directors (excluding the independent non-executive Directors) are of the view that the New Framework Agreement is entered into on normal commercial terms in the ordinary and usual course of businesses of the Company on an arm’s length basis and the terms of the New Continuing Connected Transactions and the Annual Caps are fair and reasonable so far as the Shareholders are concerned and are in the interests of the Group and the Shareholders as a whole.

LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company indirectly holds an equity interest of 82% in YT Parksong Australia and the remaining equity interest is held by Yunnan Tin PRC which is also the parent of both the New Buyer and the Buyer, and therefore the New Buyer, the Buyer and the Yunnan Tin PRC are the connected persons of the Company. Accordingly, the transactions contemplated under the New Framework Agreement will constitute continuing connected transactions of the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

As the applicable percentage ratios for the Annual Caps relating to the New Continuing Connected Transactions exceeds 25% and HK$10,000,000, the New Continuing Connected Transactions are subject to announcement and reporting requirements and Independent Shareholders’ approval at the general meeting under the Listing Rules.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, no connected person which is a party to the New Continuing Connected Transactions is a Shareholder and no Director, connected person, Shareholder and their associate has a material interest in the New Continuing Connected Transactions, all Shareholders are eligible to vote on the ordinary resolutions to be proposed at the First EGM in respect of the New Continuing Connected Transactions and the Annual Caps.

FIRST EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING

A notice convening the First EGM at which an ordinary resolution will be proposed to consider and, if thought fit, to approve (i) the New Continuing Connected Transactions; and (ii) the Annual Caps to be held at Room 2607, Greenfield Tower Concordia Plaza, 1 Science Museum Road, Tsimshatsui, Kowloon, Hong Kong on Friday, 6 May 2011 at 11:30 a.m., is set out on pages 27 to 28 of this circular.

To the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders

Dear Sirs,

NEW CONTINUING CONNECTED TRANSACTIONS

INTRODUCTION

We refer to our engagement to advise the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in respect of the terms under the New Framework Agreement, the New Continuing Connected Transactions and the Annual Caps, particulars of which are set out in the letter from the Board (the ‘‘Letter from the Board’’) of the circular to the Shareholders dated 18 April 2011 (the ‘‘Circular’’) and in which this letter is reproduced. Unless the context requires otherwise, capitalised terms used in this letter shall have the same meanings as given to them under the definitions section of the Circular.

As set out in the Letter from the Board, on 25 March 2011, the New Framework Agreement was entered into between YT Parksong Australia and the New Buyer for the supply of tin concentrates by YT Parksong Australia to the New Buyer for a period from April 2011 to December 2013. According to the announcement of the Company dated 4 March 2011, the Company completed the acquisition of the entire equity interest in Parksong Mining, which holds an equity interest of 82% in Yunnan Tin HK, which in turn wholly owns YT Parksong Australia. Consequently, both Yunnan Tin HK and YT Parksong Australia have become non-wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company. In view that the New Buyer and the Buyer are wholly owned by Yunnan Tin PRC which is a substantial shareholder of Yunnan Tin HK, Yunnan Tin PRC, the New Buyer and the Buyer are the connected persons of the Company. Therefore, the transactions contemplated under the New Framework Agreement will constitute continuing connected transactions of the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

Since the New Buyer and the Buyer are wholly and beneficially owned by Yunnan Tin PRC, the transactions between YT Parksong Australia and both the New Buyer and the Buyer are viewed as a whole for determination of the Annual Caps. The Continuing Connected Transactions under the Framework Agreement and the Approved Cap have been duly approved by the Shareholders at the March EGM. In order to proceed with the New Continuing Connected Transactions (which is of same nature of the Continuing Connected Transactions), the Approved Cap must be revised and new annual caps for the two year ending 31 December 2013 must be set for the inclusion of the New Continuing Connected Transactions. Therefore, the Board proposes to adopt the Annual Caps.

As the applicable percentage ratios for the Annual Caps relating to the New Continuing Connected Transactions exceed 25% and HK$10,000,000, the New Continuing Connected Transactions are subject to announcement and reporting requirements and Independent Shareholders’ approval at the general

meeting under the Listing Rules. The Company will convene the First EGM to seek Independent Shareholders’ approval for the New Continuing Connected Transactions and the Annual Caps. Accordingly, the Independent Board Committee has been established to advise whether the terms under the New Framework Agreement, the New Continuing Connected Transactions and the Annual Caps are fair and reasonable and whether the New Continuing Connected Transactions and the Annual Caps are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. In this regard, Partners Capital has been appointed as the independent financial adviser to the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders.

NEW CONTINUING CONNECTED TRANSACTIONS

Principal factors and reasons considered

In arriving at our opinion regarding the terms under the New Framework Agreement, the New Continuing Connected Transactions and the Annual Caps, we have considered the following principal factors and reasons:

  1. Background of and reasons for the New Continuing Connected Transactions and the Annual Caps

According to the announcement of the Company dated 4 March 2011, the Company completed the acquisition of the entire equity interest in Parksong Mining and consequently Yunnan Tin HK and its wholly owned subsidiary, namely YT Parksong Australia, have become non-wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company. As a result, the Group is now engaged in the tin mining business in Tasmania, Australia through its non-wholly owned subsidiary YT Parksong Australia in addition to its original principal business in the manufacturing and the sale of insulation and heat resistance material and trading of copper and silicone rubber.

The Continuing Connected Transactions pursuant to the Framework Agreement have been carried out smoothly from April 2010 to March 2011 and good business relationship was also established between YT Parksong Australia and the Buyer. Having considered that the Framework Agreement entered into between YT Parksong Australia and the Buyer would expire on 31 March 2011, the Board entered into the New Framework Agreement with the New Buyer on 25 March 2011, as directed by Yunnan Tin PRC. The Board is of the view that (i) the Group can secure a source for deriving stable revenue and improve the Shareholders’ return as Yunnan Tin PRC is one of the world leading tin producers which requires significant amount of tin for production; and (ii) the Group can focus its resources on monitoring on the production of YT Parksong Australia and allocate resources to identify additional customers.

In view that the New Buyer is wholly owned by Yunnan Tin PRC which is also a substantial shareholder of Yunnan Tin HK, Yunnan Tin PRC and the New Buyer are the connected persons of the Company. Therefore, the transactions contemplated under the New Framework Agreement will constitute continuing connected transactions of the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

The Directors (excluding the independent non-executive Directors) are of the view that (i) the terms of the purchases and sales of tin concentrates under the New Framework Agreement are fair and reasonable; and (ii) the transactions thereof are to be on normal commercial terms, in the ordinary and usual course of businesses of the subsidiaries and in the interests of the Group and Shareholders as a whole.

Based on the above, we consider that there is a commercial rationale for the Company to carry out the New Continuing Connected Transactions and enter into the New Framework Agreement.

2. Proposed maximum size for the Annual Caps

Pursuant to the New Framework Agreement, YT Parksong Australia agreed to supply and the New Buyer agreed to buy the tin concentrates for the period from April 2011 to December 2013. Detailed terms of each sale and purchase agreement will be determined on an arm’s length basis and the purchase prices will be determined with primary reference to the prevailing market rate available from LME.

The Annual Caps for the each of the three years ending 31 December 2013 were determined with reference to (i) historical transaction amount and the settlement price for the supply of tin concentrates to the Buyer for the period from April 2010 to March 2011; (ii) the estimated volume for the supply of tin concentrates for the period from April 2011 to December 2013; (iii) the historical trend of the LME cash settlement average price of tin metal from April 2010 to March 2011; and (iv) the historical settlement price between YT Parksong Australia and the Buyer.

Since the New Buyer and the Buyer are wholly and beneficially owned by Yunnan Tin PRC, the transactions between YT Parksong Australia and both the New Buyer and the Buyer are viewed as a whole for determination of the Annual Caps. The Continuing Connected Transactions under the Framework Agreement and the Approved Cap have been duly approved by the Shareholders at the March EGM. In order to proceed with the New Continuing Connected Transactions (which is of same nature of the Continuing Connected Transactions), the Approved Cap must be revised and new annual caps for the two year ending 31 December 2013 must be set for the inclusion of the New Continuing Connected Transactions. Therefore, the Board proposes to adopt the Annual Caps.

The historical aggregate transaction amount for the period from April 2010 to December 2010 and the period from January 2011 to March 2011 are set out as follows:

From From
April 2010 January 2011
to December to March
2010 2011 Total
Historical aggregate transaction amount
(HK$ million) 290.9 83.8 374.7

The historical aggregate transaction amount for the supply of tin concentrates for the 12 months from April 2010 to March 2011 pursuant to the Framework Agreement was approximately HK$374.7 million and the total volume of tin concentrates transacted was approximately 2,400 tonnes. The historical aggregate transaction amount for the period from January 2011 to March 2011 was approximately HK$83.8 million which was below the Approved Cap of HK$155 million. Having reviewed the previous transactions pursuant to the Framework Agreement, we note that the maximum monthly historical transaction volume of tin concentrates was approximately 289 tonnes.

As regards the Annual Caps to be sought for each of the three years ending 31 December 2013 as stated above, we have obtained from the Company the estimated sales of tin concentrates summing roughly up to the Annual Caps. We understand from the Directors that such list of estimates was prepared on the basis of multiplying the estimated unit tin price by estimated volume of tin to be sold.

LETTER FROM PARTNERS CAPITAL

As set out in the above table, the tin concentrates supplied by YT Parksong Australia to the Buyer was approximately 2,008 tonnes for the period from April 2010 to December 2010. Meanwhile, YT Parksong Australia also supplied tin concentrates to an independent third party customer as to approximately 229 tonnes. Therefore, the total sales volume of tin concentrates supplied by YT Parksong Australia for year 2010 (which included nine months from April to December 2010) was approximately 2,237 tonnes. As advised by the Company, the operation in the mine just commenced in March 2010 and accordingly the utilization of its manpower and machinery has not reached the most efficient level during the term under the Framework Agreement and thus the Approved Cap was not substantially used. The Directors believe that, with operational experience gained in the previous year, the Company expects that an efficient scale of operation and production of tin concentrates can be attained in 2011. In addition, pursuant to the sale and purchase agreement and the supplemental deeds relating to the acquisition of Parksong Mining, the Company was warranted by the vendor that the production of tin concentrates shall be not less than 6,500 tonnes for each of the three anniversaries following the completion of acquisition (i.e. the three years commencing from 4 March 2011, being the completion date of acquisition). As Parksong Mining entitles 50% of the rights and benefits from the relevant mining assets, the Company can share half of the production volume warranted by the Vendor, i.e. a minimum of 3,250 tonnes of tin concentrates.

We were advised by the Company that the expected annual sales volume of tin concentrates for the year 2011 would be approximately 3,495 tonnes which included approximately 393 tonnes of tin concentrates sold between January 2011 and March 2011 to the Buyer. Accordingly, the average monthly sales volume of tin concentrates for the year 2011 would be approximately 291 tonnes. We were provided by the Company that (i) the largest monthly sales volume was approximately 289 tonnes pursuant to the Framework Agreement; and (ii) the average monthly sales of tin concentrates for the period from April 2010 to January 2011 and the period from February 2011 to March 2011 were approximately 238 tonnes and 137 tonnes respectively. As advised by the Company, the reduction in sales volume as well as the production volume of tin concentrates during the period from February 2011 to March 2011 was due to rehabilitation in one of the stopes in the mining assets in February 2011. The stope rehabilitation was completed at the end of March 2011 and the Company expects that the production of tin concentrates will regain its momentum thereafter. Besides, the Company has planned to (i) increase the number of drilling rig, bogger and truck to be used in the mining assets from the existing size of 12 to 20 by the year 2013; (ii) recruit 5 employees per annum for tin concentrates production from the current size of 46 employees; and (iii) appoint an additional subcontractor principally responsible for the stope rehabilitation so that the existing mine operator can focus its resources in tin concentrates production. Therefore, the Company expects that the production capacity and efficiency of tin concentrates by the mining assets would improve substantially and the annual production volume of tin concentrates can reach a level higher than the warranted level guaranteed by the Vendor.

As further advised by the Company, both the New Buyer and Yunnan Tin PRC had expressed their intention in respect of the possible increase in annual sales volume of tin concentrates during the term under the New Framework Agreement. Hence, for the year 2012 and 2013, the Company assumed a 10% annual increase of sales volume of tin concentrates in tonnes and adopted the average annual sales volume of approximately 3,845 tonnes and 4,230 tonnes respectively. According to the Company, such forecasts of sales volume were made after taking into account (i) the historical sales volume of tin concentrates to the Buyer; (ii) the expected

– 19 –

LETTER FROM PARTNERS CAPITAL

production volume of the tin concentrates; (iii) the current inventory level of tin concentrates; and (iv) the mutual intention of the New Buyer and the Company to increase the transaction volume of tin concentrates under the New Framework Agreement as reflected by the maximum annual sales target volume of 6,000 tonnes set out in the New Framework Agreement against the maximum annual sales target volume of 4,000 tonnes as set out in the Framework Agreement. As advised by the Company, this maximum annual sales target volume does not constitute a commitment to both YT Parksong Australia and the New Buyer and YT Parksong Australia is empowered to decide the level of sale volume according to its own circumstances.

Source: LME

As set out in the above chart, the LME cash settlement price of tin metal started from approximately US$6,000 per tonne at the beginning of 2006 and has continuously increased to the peak of approximately US$25,000 per tonne in May 2008. As a result of the financial turmoil, the tin price dropped drastically to a low of approximately US$10,000 per tonne in December 2008. However, since early 2009, the tin price regained its momentum and escalated sharply and reached a peak of approximately US$32,000 per tonne in February 2011. For the year 2009 and 2010, the annual increases of tin price were approximately 45% and 55% respectively. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the LME cash settlement price of tin was approximately US$32,350 per tonne. We were advised by the Company that the price of tin metal in the coming three years is difficult to predict as the price fluctuates in great magnitude in accordance with different market conditions. For the sake of determining the Annual Caps, the Company has assumed an average tin price of approximately US$31,257 per tonne for the year 2011 which was the latest market price in mid March 2011. The Company also assumed a 10% annual increase for the tin average price for the year 2012 and 2013 and adopted US$34,383 and US$37,821 per tonne as the tin average prices for the year 2012 and 2013 respectively. Having taken into account the annual increase of tin price over the previous five years, we consider that the 10% annual increase of tin average price as predicted by the Company is acceptable.

LETTER FROM PARTNERS CAPITAL

Meanwhile, according to the New Framework Agreement, the settlement prices between YT Parksong Australia and the New Buyer were determined based on the (i) the LME cash settlement average price of tin metal; (ii) the treatment charge per dry metric ton; (iii) deduction based on the final tin content; and (iv) penalty for impurity. In addition, the payment terms under the New Framework Agreement would be a provisional payment of 85% of the provisional invoice amount payable in advance as down payment and the remaining part to be payable after receipt of the shipment which is subject to final analysis and weights of tin concentrates. We have reviewed the terms offered by YT Parksong Australia to the Buyer pursuant to the Framework Agreement and the terms offered by YT Parksong Australia to an independent third party client for seven past transactions in respect of tin concentrates previously. We noted that the terms under the New Framework Agreement are basically equivalent to those under the Framework Agreement and to an independent third party client, and we consider that sample size is sufficient for comparison purposes.

On the above basis, we are of the view that the basis on which the Annual Caps were determined are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Shareholders and the Company as a whole and the Annual Caps are fair and reasonable and we consider that the New Continuing Connected Transactions are to be carried out on normal commercial terms and in the ordinary course of business.

3. The conditions

As each Annual Cap will exceed HK$10 million and the relevant applicable percentage ratios of 25% under the Listing Rules, the Annual Caps for the New Continuing Connected Transactions are subject to announcement and reporting requirements and the Independent Shareholders’ approval at the general meeting under the Listing Rules.

The Company will therefore seek the approval by the Independent Shareholders of the Annual Caps for the three years ending 31 December 2013 subject to the following conditions pursuant to the Listing Rules:

  1. The New Continuing Connected Transactions will be:

  2. (i) entered into by the Company in the ordinary and usual course of its business;

  3. (ii) conducted on normal commercial terms or, if there are no sufficient comparable transactions to judge whether they are on normal commercial terms, on terms no less favourable to the Company than terms available from independent third parties; and

  4. (iii) entered into in accordance with the terms of the relevant framework agreements governing such New Continuing Connected Transactions that are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Shareholders as a whole;

  5. The transacted amount of the transactions under the New Framework Agreement for each of the three years ending 31 December 2013 shall not exceed the Annual Cap for the respective year as stated above;

– 21 –

LETTER FROM PARTNERS CAPITAL

  1. The Company will comply with all other relevant requirements under the Listing Rules.

Taking into account of the conditions attached to the New Continuing Connected Transactions, in particular (i) the restriction by way of setting the Annual Caps; and (ii) the compliance with all other relevant requirements under the Listing Rules (which include the annual review and/or confirmation by the independent non-executive Directors and auditors of the Company on the actual execution of the New Continuing Connected Transactions), we consider that the Company has taken appropriate measures to govern the Company in carrying out the New Continuing Connected Transactions, thereby safeguarding the interests of the Shareholders thereunder.

Recommendation

Having considered the above principal factors, we are of the opinion that the terms under the New Framework Agreement and the New Continuing Connected Transactions are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole and are fair and reasonable so far as the Shareholders are concerned and the Annual Caps are fair and reasonable. We consider that the New Continuing Connected Transactions are to be carried out on normal commercial terms and in the ordinary course of business of the Company. Accordingly, we recommend the Independent Shareholders to, and we recommend the Independent Board Committee to advise the Independent Shareholders to, vote in favour of the ordinary resolution to be proposed at the First EGM for approving the New Framework Agreement, the New Continuing Connected Transactions and the Annual Caps.

Yours faithfully, For and on behalf of
