5. Summary of the mining rights deal

Name: Mining rights of Zhuan Longwan coal mine field at Dongsheng Coal Field

Mining area: 43.50 km² (a list of cartesian coordinates of inflection point is attached hereto)

Basic facts of the mining area:

Zhuan Longwan coal mine field is located at Dongsheng Coal Field in Ejin Horo Banner, Ordos City, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region where the traffic is convenient with the Bao (Baotou) - Shen (Shenmu) Railway passing through at the west side and the Huo (Huocangou) – Hai (Hailesihao) Railway running across the middle of the coal field, adjacent to the proposed Ba (Batuta) – Zhun (Zhunger’er) Railway at the south.

The coal mine field is located at the middle of Dongsheng Coal Field. Its geological structure is simple with the lower to middle Jurassic in the Yan’an Formation (J_1-2y) being the major coal-bearing strata, general tendency for formation is W - SWW, angle of dip is 1 - 2°. It has 8-29 coal-bearing layers with

an accumulated thickness of 12.78 – 36.80m and average thickness of 15.63m; coal burial depth is 91.10 – 345.12m and coal-bearing coefficient is 7.7%. It bears 3 -17 layers of recoverable coal seams, of which 4 are main coal seams and 6 are secondary coal seams. The local coal seams comprise of non-stick coals with low to super low-ash, low to super low-sulfur, low to super low-phosphorus and medium to high-calorific value (BN31) and with a coal (on dry basis) - calorific value of 25.70 – 27.77MJ/kg at the recoverable coal seams. All being very-easy-to-wash coals as assessed according to the ± 0.1 content reference method for washability level. Mining-technical condition in the deposit falls into Second Class-Type Four, being low gas mine with explosive coal dust and spontaneous combustion coal seam.

The exploration type in the coal field is First Class-Type Two. Details of the assessment and reporting of approved resource reserves are listed in the following table.
