The Annual Cap for 2012 was determined with reference to (i) the estimated volume for the supply of the Copper Concentrates in 2012; (ii) the LME cash settlement average price of copper metal from 4 May 2011 to 3 May 2012; and (iii) the settlement price between the Seller and the Buyer.

REASONS FOR THE CONTINUING CONNECTED TRANSACTION

The Group was in the past an established insulation and heat-resistance solution provider in the southern PRC specialised in the production, design and sales of insulation and heat-resistance materials. The Group was also engaged in the trading of copper and silicon rubber with its trading customers.

In 2011, the Company decided to transform the Group’s business to mining and sales of mainly tin resources. In March 2011, the Group penetrated into the non-ferrous metal industry through the acquisition of a mining company. Since then, the principal business activities of the Group are exploration (but not pure trading) of non-ferrous metal resources, such as tin.

The Buyer is a limited liability company incorporated in Hong Kong and is principally engaged in trading of metals. The Buyer is a subsidiary of Yunnan Tin PRC, a substantial shareholder (as defined in the Listing Rules) of Yunnan Tin HK. As extracted from the internet website of Yunnan Tin PRC (http://en.ytc.cn), 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 the PRC. Yunnan Tin PRC produces 600 categories in 20 series, including high purity precious metals material, platinum metals catalyst and metal products of copper and zinc etc.. It also owns the state-level enterprise technology centre and the biggest tin research and precious metals research and development organisation in the PRC. The Company had not sold any Copper Concentrates to the Buyer and/or its

– 6 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

associates in the past, and the Copper Concentrates the Company plans to sell to the Buyer under the Agreement are the by-products from the exploration of tin of a mining project of the Group in Tasmania of Australia.

The Board is of the view that the entering into of the Agreement will allow the Group to secure a stable and additional source of revenue (i) to improve Shareholders’ return given the considerable size and business operations of Yunnan Tin PRC as aforementioned; and (ii) to spend more resources on monitoring the production of YT Parksong Australia and allocate resources to identify additional customers.

LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company indirectly held 82% of the equity interest in YT Parksong Australia and the remaining 18% of the equity interest in YT Parksong Australia was held by Yunnan Tin PRC, which was also a shareholder of the Buyer. The Buyer and Yunnan Tin PRC are therefore connected persons of the Company. Accordingly, the Continuing Connected Transaction constitutes continuing connected transaction for the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

As the applicable percentage ratios as defined under Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules for the Annual Cap are more than 5% and the Annual Cap exceeds HK$10,000,000, the Continuing Connected Transaction constitutes non-exempt continuing connected transaction for the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules and is subject to the reporting, annual review, announcement and independent shareholders’ approval requirements.

Since no Director is considered to have material interest in the Continuing Connected Transaction, no Director had abstained from voting on the relevant resolution(s) approving the Continuing Connected Transaction at the Board meeting. Furthermore, given that no connected person which is a party to the Continuing Connected Transaction is a Shareholder and no Shareholder is considered to have material interest in the Agreement and the Continuing Connected Transaction, all Shareholders are eligible to vote on the ordinary resolution(s) to be proposed at the EGM in respect of the Agreement and the Continuing Connected Transaction.

EGM

A notice convening the EGM to be held at 10:30 a.m. on Monday, 11 June 2012 at Room 2607, Greenfield Tower, Concordia Plaza, 1 Science Museum Road, Tsimshatsui, Kowloon, Hong Kong, at which an ordinary resolution will be proposed to the Independent Shareholders to consider and, if thought fit, approve the Agreement and the Annual Cap, is set out from pages 22 to 23 of this circular.

A form of proxy for use at the EGM is enclosed with this circular. Whether or not you are able to attend the EGM, you are requested to complete the accompanying form of proxy in accordance with the instructions printed thereon and return the same to the office of the Company’s Hong Kong branch share registrar, Tricor Investor Services Limited of 26/F., Tesbury Centre, 28 Queen’s Road East, Hong Kong as soon as possible and in any event not less than 48 hours before the time appointed for the holding of the EGM or any adjournment thereof. Completion and return of the form of proxy will not preclude you from attending and voting in person at the EGM or any adjourned meeting should you so wish.

– 7 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

An ordinary resolution as set out in the notice of the EGM will be put to the vote of the Independent Shareholders by way of poll. An announcement will be made by the Company following the conclusion of the EGM to inform you of its results.

RECOMMENDATION

The Directors consider that the terms of the Agreement (including the Annual Cap) are entered into in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group, on normal commercial terms, fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned and are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. Accordingly, the Directors recommend the Independent Shareholders to vote in favour of the ordinary resolution to be proposed at the EGM to approve the Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder.

Dear Sirs,

CONTINUING CONNECTED TRANSACTION

INTRODUCTION

We refer to our appointment as the Independent Financial Adviser to advise the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in relation to the Continuing Connected Transaction, details of which are set out in the letter from the Board (the ‘‘Board Letter’’) contained in the circular dated 25 May 2012 issued by the Company to the Shareholders (the ‘‘Circular’’), of which this letter forms part.

On 4 May 2012, the Agreement was entered into between the Buyer and the Seller, pursuant to which the Seller agreed to supply and the Buyer agreed to buy the Copper Concentrates from 4 May 2012 to 31 December 2012.

LETTER FROM GUANGDONG SECURITIES

PRINCIPAL FACTORS AND REASONS CONSIDERED

In arriving at our opinion in respect of the Continuing Connected Transaction and the Annual Cap, we have taken into consideration the following principal factors and reasons:

(1) Background of the Continuing Connected Transaction

Business overview of the Group

With reference to the Board Letter, the Group was in the past an established insulation and heat-resistance solution provider in the southern PRC specialised in the production, design and sales of insulation and heat-resistance materials. The Group was also engaged in the trading of copper and silicon rubber with its trading customers. In 2011, the Company decided to transform the Group’s business to mining and sales of mainly tin resources. In March 2011, the Group penetrated into the non-ferrous metal industry through the acquisition of a mining company. Since then, the principal business activities of the Group are exploration (but not pure trading) of nonferrous metal resources, such as tin.

Set out below are the audited operating results of the Group for the two years ended 31 December 2011 as extracted from the Company’s annual report for the year ended 31 December 2011 (the ‘‘2011 Annual Report’’) and the Company’s annual report for the year ended 31 December 2010:

of the Company

From the above table, we noted that the revenue of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2011 substantially increased by approximately 183.05% as compared to the prior year. As advised by the Directors, the revenue of the Group increased due to the completion of the acquisition the tin mine project in Tasmania, Australia which post an immediate contribution to the Group’s revenue of approximately HK$342.8 million.

– 12 –

LETTER FROM GUANGDONG SECURITIES

Despite the rise in the revenue, the Group recorded increase in loss attributable to owners of the Company from approximately HK$12.76 million for the year ended 31 December 2010 to approximately HK$733.49 million for the year ended 31 December 2011. With reference to the 2011 Annual Report, the loss was attributable mainly to the impairment losses on mining structure, mining rights and exploration and evaluation assets of the tin mine project in Tasmania, Australia, the increase in administrative expenses, other gains and losses, finance costs and loss from discontinued operations.

Information on the Buyer

As referred to the Board Letter and advised by the Directors, the Buyer is a limited liability company incorporated in Hong Kong and is principally engaged in trading of metals. Yunnan Tin PRC owns approximately 50.51% equity interest in Yunnan Tin Company Limited (Shenzhen Stock Exchange: SZ000960) (‘‘Yunnan Tin Company’’), the shares of which are listed on Shenzhen Stock Exchange. Yunnan Tin Company owns 51% equity interest in the Buyer. Accordingly, the Buyer is a subsidiary of Yunnan Tin PRC. As referred to the website of Yunnan Tin PRC (http://en.ytc.cn), 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 the PRC. Yunnan Tin PRC produces 600 categories in 20 series, including high purity precious metals material, platinum metals catalyst and metal products of copper and zinc etc.. It also owns the state-level enterprise technology centre and the biggest tin research and precious metals research and development organisation in the PRC. With reference to the annual report of Yunnan Tin Company for the year ended 31 December 2011 (the ‘‘Yunnan Tin Annual Report’’), Yunnan Tin Company recorded revenue of approximately RMB12,842 million for the year ended 31 December 2011 and total asset of approximately RMB16,545 million as at 31 December 2011. During 2011, Yunnan Tin Company produced non-ferrous metal of approximately 143,000 tonnes, represented an increase of approximately 60.93% as compared to prior year.

Reasons for the Continuing Connected Transaction

According to the Board Letter, the Group was in the past an established insulation and heatresistance solution provider in the southern PRC specialised in the production, design and sales of insulation and heat-resistance materials. The Group was also engaged in the trading of copper and silicon rubber with its trading customers. In 2011, the Company decided to transform the Group’s business to mining and sales of tin resources. In March 2011, the Group penetrated into the nonferrous metal industry through the acquisition of a mining company. Since then, the principal business activities of the Group are exploration of non-ferrous metal resources, such as tin. The Company had not sold any Copper Concentrates to the Buyer and/or its associates in the past, and the Copper Concentrates the Company plans to sell to the Buyer under the Agreement are the byproducts from the exploration of tin of a mining project of the Group in Tasmania of Australia. The Board is of the view that the entering into of the Agreement will allow the Group to secure a stable and additional source of revenue (i) to improve Shareholders’ return given the considerable size and business operations of Yunnan Tin PRC as aforementioned; and (ii) to spend more resources on monitoring the production of YT Parksong Australia and allocate resources to identify additional customers.

– 13 –

LETTER FROM GUANGDONG SECURITIES

We have further enquired into the Directors regarding the reasons for the Continuing Connected Transaction and were advised by the Directors that given the size and reputation of Yunnan Tin PRC and Yunnan Tin Company as demonstrated under the section headed ‘‘Information on the Buyer’’ of this letter, it is the corporate strategy of the Company to maintain business relationship with Yunnan Tin PRC and Yunnan Tin Company through the Continuing Connected Transaction with the Buyer, in order to improve the corporate reputation of the Group.

Having considered that (i) the Continuing Connected Transaction will likely to provide a stable source of revenue to the Group; and (ii) the corporate reputation of the Group can be improved by the Continuing Connected Transaction, we concur with the Directors that it would be beneficial for the Company to enter into the Agreement and to carry out the Continuing Connected Transaction. For the above reasons, we consider that the Continuing Connected Transaction is in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Company and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

LETTER FROM GUANGDONG SECURITIES

Purchase formula:

  • (a) Payable metal

The Buyer shall pay 96.5% of the full copper content, subject to a minimum deduction of one (1) unit. No payment shall be made for silver if the silver content is less than 30 grams per dmt. If the silver content is equal to or exceeds 30 grams per dmt, the Buyer shall pay 90% of the full silver content.

  • (b) Treatment charge and refining charge

The treatment charge and refining charge for copper shall be US$425 per dmt and US$0.425 per pound of copper payable; whereas the treatment and refining charge for silver shall be US$0.5 per payable ounce of silver payable.

Quotation period:

The quotation period will be 45 calendar days from 15 days before the bill of lading date until 30 days after the bill of lading date.

Payment:

It was agreed that the Buyer shall pay 85% of the provisional value of each lot of the Copper Concentrates based on the average official LME cash price within five days prior to the bill of lading date by telegraphic transfer within three working days after the Buyer received all shipment documents. The remaining payment shall be settled no later than five working days after the final analysis and weights of the Copper Concentrates were confirmed by both the Buyer and the Seller and no later than 50 calendar days from the bill of lading date.

The final commercial value of the Copper Concentrates shall be calculated at the average price of the official LME cash settlement price for copper/silver as published by London Metal Bulletin over the aforesaid quotation period.

Supplementary Clause:

The Buyer must purchase the Copper Concentrates within three months of signing the Agreement with the Seller. Otherwise, the Agreement will be terminated, and the Seller is entitled to find other buyers for the sale of the Copper Concentrates.

We have researched over Bloomberg and noted that the LME cash settlement price of copper fluctuated from approximately US$6,785/metric ton (‘‘mt’’) to approximately US$9,827/mt during the period from 4 May 2011 to 3 May 2012 with the average price of approximately US$8,400/mt. The maximum copper price thus represented a premium of approximately 44.83% over the minimum copper price during the said period under review. Given the volatility of the copper prices, we concur with the Directors’ view that it is justifiable for the final commercial value of the Copper Concentrates to be calculated at the average price of the official LME cash settlement price for copper/silver as published by London Metal Bulletin over the quotation period.

LETTER FROM GUANGDONG SECURITIES

For our due diligence purpose, we have reviewed the contract entered into between Bluestone Mines Tasmania Pty. Ltd., being an joint venture partner of YT Parksong Australia which is interested in 50% equity interest in Bluestone Mines Tasmania Joint Venture Pty Ltd. (a jointly controlled entity of the Group), and the Buyer in 2012 for the sale and purchase of Copper Concentrates. We noted that the aforesaid contract contain similar terms and clauses to the Agreement.

In light of all of the above, we concur with the Directors that the terms of the Agreement are on normal commercial terms and are fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned.

(3) Basis of the proposed Annual Cap

From the Board Letter and as outlined in the previous section, the Annual Cap for 2012 was determined with reference to (i) the estimated volume for the supply of the Copper Concentrates in 2012; (ii) the LME cash settlement average price of copper metal from 4 May 2011 to 3 May 2012; and (iii) the settlement price between the Seller and the Buyer.

As advised by the Directors, the Annual Cap of HK$63 million is derived from the formula below:

Annual Cap = Q x Price x ExRate x Grading

while

Q = Quantity of Copper Concentrates

Price = LME cash settlement average price

ExRate = Exchange rate between US$ and HK$

Grading = Average grading of the Copper Concentrates (with buffer)

To assess the fairness and reasonableness of the Annual Cap, we have discussed with the Directors regarding the basis of the Annual Cap as aforementioned. In this regard, we understand that the estimated volume for the supply of the Copper Concentrates in 2012 was determined with reference to the Group’s plans to sell the Copper Concentrates to the Buyer between the period of 4 May 2012 and 31 December 2012, which were reached after arm’s length negotiation between the Buyer and the Seller. The Directors further advised us that the quantity of 1,000 wmt to 2,400 wmt as contained under the Agreement represented the purchase indication from the Buyer. In addition, we noted from the Yunnan Tin Annual Report that Yunnan Tin Company planned to produce 60,000 tonnes copper in 2012. Accordingly, it is reasonable that the Buyer will demand for 1,000 wmt to 2,400 wmt Copper Concentrates from the Seller from 4 May 2012 to 31 December 2012 and thus the Company applied 2,400 wmt Copper Concentrates as the parameter of quantity to determine the Annual Cap.

As for the LME cash settlement average price, as aforementioned, the LME cash settlement price of copper fluctuated from around US$6,785/mt to around US$9,827/mt during the period from 4 May 2011 to 3 May 2012 with the average price of approximately US$8,400/mt. Accordingly, we concur with the Directors’ view that the application of US$8,400/mt as the parameter of price to determine the Annual Cap is justifiable.

LETTER FROM GUANGDONG SECURITIES

Furthermore, the settlement price between the Seller and the Buyer would be affected by the grading and the metal contents of the Copper Concentrates. In this regard, the Directors applied a grading parameter of 40% with reference to the average grading of the Copper Concentrates with buffer to determine the Annual Cap.

In view of the aforementioned bases and assumptions of determining the Annual Cap, we consider that the Annual Cap is fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned.

(4) Listing Rules implication

The Directors confirmed that the Company shall comply with the requirements of Rules 14A.37 to 14A.41 of the Listing Rules pursuant to which (i) the values of the Continuing Connected Transaction must be restricted by the Annual Cap for the period between 4 May 2012 and 31 December 2012; (ii) the terms of the Agreement (including the Annual Cap) must be reviewed by the independent nonexecutive Directors annually; and (iii) details of the independent non-executive Directors’ annual review on the terms of the Agreement (including the Annual Cap) must be included in the Company’s subsequent published annual reports and financial accounts. Furthermore, it is also required by the Listing Rules that the auditors of the Company must provide a letter to the Board confirming, among other things, that the Continuing Connected Transaction is carried out in accordance with the pricing policies of the Company, and the Annual Cap are not being exceeded. In the event that the total amounts of the Continuing Connected Transaction exceed the Annual Cap, or that there is any material amendment to the terms of the Agreement, the Company, as confirmed by the Directors, shall comply with the applicable provisions of the Listing Rules governing continuing connected Continuing Connected Transactions.

With the stipulation of the above requirements for continuing connected Continuing Connected Transaction pursuant to the Listing Rules, we are of the view that there are adequate measures in place to monitor the Continuing Connected Transaction (including the Annual Cap) and hence the interest of the Independent Shareholders would be safeguarded.

RECOMMENDATION

Having taken into account the above factors and reasons, we are of the opinion that (i) the terms of the Agreement (including the Annual Cap) are on normal commercial terms and are fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned; and (ii) the Continuing Connected Transaction is in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Company and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. Accordingly, we recommend the Independent Board Committee to advise the Independent Shareholders to vote in favour of the relevant resolution(s) to be proposed at the EGM to approve the Agreement and the Continuing Connected Transactions contemplated thereunder and we recommend the Independent Shareholders to vote in favour of the resolution(s) in this regard.

Yours faithfully, For and on behalf of Guangdong Securities Limited Graham Lam
