On September 16, 2010, Heping Ma resigned from the Board of Directors of China Armco Metals, Inc.

From 2003 to 2004 Mr. Chan was the Director of International Mineral Limited, an iron ore company, which was acquired by the CITIC PACIFIC in 2004. International Mineral Ltd. was engaged in iron ore exploration and production.

The grant of restricted stock is made in addition to Mr. Chan’s annual cash retainer.  All approved expenses incurred on behalf of the Company by Mr. Chan are eligible for full reimbursement.
