The PRC government is at the final stage to process the application for the Yanxi Mining Licence and the Company is awaiting the issuance of the exploration licence for the adjacent New Area.  However, the process is delayed due to the Lunar New Year holidays in China.

2. The date of repayment from China Daye of the outstanding principal of the convertible bonds (the "CB") is extended from June 30, 2013 to October 31, 2013.

Accordingly, at the discretion of China Daye, either:

(i)	the repayment date from China Daye of the outstanding principal of the CB is extended from June 30, 2013 to October 31, 2013, without extension of the period of the related rights of conversion; or
(ii)	subject to approval of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited and shareholders of China Daye (if necessary), the maturity date of the CB is extended from July 22, 2012 to June 30, 2013, including the deadline for conversion.
