EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Amendment No. 1 to our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2006 initially filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 17, 2005 is being filed to include several exhibits that were not filed with the original report and to correct typographical and reference errors in the document.

PART I

ITEM 1.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Corporate History

Unless otherwise indicated, or unless the context otherwise requires, all references in this Annual Report to the terms “Company,” “CSZM,” “we,” “our,” or “us” mean China Shen Zhou Mining & Resources, Inc., a Nevada corporation.

We are the result of a share exchange/reverse takeover among Earth Products & Technologies, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“EPAT”) with American Federal Mining Group, Inc., an Illinois company (hereinafter “AFMG”), and the shareholders of AFMG. The effective date of the transaction was September 15, 2006. Pursuant to the transaction, EPAT issued a total of 20,000,000 shares of common voting stock to AFMG Shareholders, in exchange for 100% of AFMG’s common stock. The common stock was issued in reliance on the exemption from registration set forth in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. This transaction will be accounted for as a reverse takeover (recapitalization) with AFMG deemed the acquirer for accounting purposes and EPAT the legal acquirer.

As a result of the share exchange/reverse takeover, AFMG became a wholly-owned subsidiary of EPAT, with EPAT, which previously had no material operations, becoming a holding company for the business of AFMG and its subsidiaries. AFMG is a holding company, incorporated in Illinois, whose principal business is the ownership of entities in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC” or “China”) engaged in the acquisition, exploration, extraction and development of mining properties.

The share exchange/reverse takeover resulted in a change in voting control of EPAT. The former shareholders of AFMG now hold a total of 20,000,000 shares of common stock, or approximately 94% of the outstanding common stock of EPAT, and the original EPAT shareholders now hold a total of 1,297,700 shares of common stock, or approximately 6% of the outstanding common stock. At the closing, EPAT’s officers and directors resigned, and Xiao-Jing Yu was appointed as President of EPAT. Effective October 20, 2006, EPAT changed its name to China Shen Zhou Mining & Resources, Inc.

AFMG owns all of the registered capital of Inner Mongolia Wulatehouqi Qianzhen Ore Processing Co., Ltd. (“Qianzhen Mining”), a limited liability company organized in the PRC. Qianzhen Mining holds 67% of the registered capital of Inner Mongolia Xiangzhen Mining Group Co., Ltd., a limited liability company organized in the PRC (“Xiangzhen Mining”), with the remaining 33% of the registered capital of Xiangzhen Mining being held by AFMG, thus effectively making Xiangzhen Mining a wholly-owned subsidiary of AFMG. Xiangzhen Mining also holds 99% of the registered capital of Xinjiang Wuqia Tianzhen Mining Co., Ltd. (“Tianzhen Mining”), and the remaining 1% of Tianzhen Mining is held by Yu Xiao-Jing, President of AFMG, in trust for Qianzhen Mining. Qianzhen Mining owns 60% of Wulatehouqi Qingshan Nonferrous Metal Development Co., Ltd. (“Qingshan Metal”). The other 40% of Qingshan Metal is owned by several individual shareholders. Xiangzhen Mining owns 80% of Xinjiang Buerjin County Xingzhen Mining Co., Ltd. (“Xingzhen Mining”). The other 20% is owned by Xinjiang Tianxiang New Technology Development Co., Ltd.

The table below illustrates the corporate structure of the Company:

[china10ksbamend1002.gif]

We are a public company. Our securities are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol “CSZM.OB.”

Our executive offices are located at No. 166 Fushi Road, Zeyang Tower, Suite 305 Shijingshan District, Beijing, China 100043. Our telephone number is 86-010-68867292.

Our Industry

Our primary business activity is mining, processing and distributing of fluorite ore, copper, zinc, lead, and other mineral products. Along with China’s modernization drive, its economy has witnessed significant growth in the past three decades, which brought about a rapid growth in its manufacturing capacity. Moreover, due to its investment environment and cheap labor, China has attracted many manufacturers from the developed countries. The increasing industrial capacity of China has caused, and is anticipated to cause, a high level of demand for industrial raw materials including fluorite and nonferrous metals.

Fluorite is mainly used by the steel industry as a melting agent and the fluorite chemical industry to manufacture hydrofluoric acid, a widely used raw material for the chemical industry. With a rapid growth of the steel industry and the chemical industry in China, the demand for fluorite and nonferrous metals has increase significantly. China produced 2.6 million metric tons of fluorite ore in 2004, 2.9 million metric tons in 2005, and 3.0 million metric tons in 2006.　About 76% of the annual output is for domestic consumption and 24% for export in 2006, according to the information published in the papers of the World Fluorite Conference of Shanghai and based on the estimates by China’s Fluorite Industry Association. In 2010 the demand is expected to increase from 1.94 million to 2.25 million metric tons. In recent years, large exports of fluorite and hydrofluoric acid have depleted fluorite resources in China. In order to protect fluorite reserves, the Chinese government instituted an export quota system in 2001.

As a result of rapid economic development, the demand for nonferrous metals in China has also significantly increased in recent years. According to the statistics of China’s Ministry of Land and Resources, China was only able to satisfy less than 40% of its demand for copper with domestic resources in 2006, and in 2010 the demand is expected to increase from 5.8 million to 6.5 million metric tons. In

2005, China’s domestic consumption of zinc was 3.2 million metric tons, which exceeded its production of 2.78 million metric tons.

Due to limited natural resources, the prices for fluorite and nonferrous metals have increased in recent years. According to the data of the Shanghai Future Exchange, the price for fluorite ore increased approximately 30% per year from 2004 to 2006. The price of zinc increased 27% from 2004 to 2005 and over 90% from 2005 to 2006. The price for copper increased 26% from 2004 to 2005 and over 65% from 2005 to 2006.

We expect the price of zinc and lead will continue to increase and the price of copper will remain high though it may experience significant fluctuations.

We anticipate the fluorite and nonferrous markets will provide excellent opportunities for us to grow.

Current Business Operations

Our primary business activity is mining, processing and distributing of fluorite ore, copper, zinc, lead, and other mineral products. All of our business is conducted through our China-based subsidiaries. We operate mines in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region and Xingjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, which are known for their rich reserves of high-grade minerals of fluorite, copper, lead and zinc. Regional human resources of general labor and specialized professional mining teams are available to us at a low cost. We maintain good relationships with the local governments by providing employment opportunities to the people and tax revenues to the government. We have also achieved strategic cooperative alliances with several large-scale domestic steel or chemical enterprises after years of experience and relationships in the mineral markets. Such alliances combined with the large resources available on hand provide the Company with a competitive advantage over others in the same industry.

The following table summarizes the business activities of AFMG’s subsidiaries:

Xiangzhen Mining	Engage mainly in the extraction and processing of fluorite ore
Xingzhen Mining	Engage mainly in exploration of zinc-copper mine
Tianzhen Mining	Engage mainly in the exploration of copper, zinc and lead mine
Qingshan Metal	Engage mainly in the extraction of copper-zinc ore, some processing

Description of Products

Fluorite:

We produce fluorite ore and refined fluorite powder. Fluorite ore is mainly sold to steel companies such as Taiyuan Steel, Baotou Steel and Capital Steel. In 2006, we produced approximately 51,000 metric tons of fluorite ore and had 17,000 metric tons of inventory. Total sales were approximately US$4,340,000, accounting for approximately 82% of the revenues from our fluorite business. Our refined fluorite is used mainly by fluorite chemical companies. In 2006, we produced 14,800 metric tons of refined fluorite powder of which 12,800 metric tons was sold for approximately US$917,000, accounting for approximately 18% of our revenues from fluorite.

Nonferrous:

We produce refined zinc powder, refined lead powder and refined copper powder. We extract zinc-lead-copper ore and process it into these powders which are sold to metallurgical companies which in turn

produce zinc, lead and copper ingots. In 2006, we produced approximately 15,000 metric tons of refined zinc powder, 2,300 metric tons of refined lead powder and 790 metric tons of refined copper powder, which accounts for approximately 82.9%, 12.7% and 4.4% of our revenues from our nonferrous business, respectively.

Sales and Marketing

Currently, we do not have any marketing staff. Our customers send their orders to us, usually with cash paid in advance. Our in-house sales staff typically fill these orders and ship them. These customers have a long term relationship with us. We expect this to continue for some time because it appears that the demand for mineral products will remain high for the foreseeable future.

Major Supplier

We have one major supplier. During the year 2006, Wulatehouqi Zijin Mining Co., Ltd. was the only supplier of Qianzhen Mining’s raw minerals. In 2006, Qianzhen Mining purchased approximately 130,000 metric tons of zinc-lead ore and turned them into 14,000 metric tons of refined zinc powders and 1,900 metric tons of refined lead powder. In 2006, Qingshan Metal produced on its own 41,000 metric tons of copper ore (to be turned into 790 metric tons of refined copper powder) and 5,500 metric tons of zinc-lead ore (supplied to Qianzhen Mining). In 2007, Qianzhen Mining will continue to purchase raw materials from Wulatehouqi Zijin or other third parties. Our supply contract with Qulatehouqi Zijin terminates in April 2008.

Major Customers

In 2006, our revenues from our fluorite business and nonferrous business were $5.3 million and $17.1 million, respectively.

The following table shows our major customers (5% or more) for our nonferrous business as of December 31, 2006:

Competition

In the current markets for nonferrous metals and fluorite, supply in general cannot meet demand. At least for the short term, we do not expect that we will have difficulty selling our products. At this point, our business strategy is not to devote large financial resources in sales and promotion as compared to businesses in other industries. Our competitors mainly are similar companies in the same geographical region.

Our main competitors in the fluorite business are:

Gansu Gaotai Hongyuan Mining Co., Ltd., which produced 60,000 metric tons of fluorite ore and 20,000 metric tons of refined fluorite in 2006.

Shandong Hongxing Fluorite Co., Ltd., which produced 110,000 metric tons of fluorite ore and 30,000 metric tons of refined fluorite in 2006.

Henan Tongbai Yinhe Mining Co., Ltd., which produced 40,000 metric tons of fluorite and 5,000 metric tons of refined fluorite in 2006.

Our competitors in the refined zinc powder and refined lead powder markets are local mining enterprises such as Dongshengmiao Mining Industry Co, Ltd, (Dongshengmiao Mining) and Wancheng Trading & Mining Co., Ltd. (Wancheng Trading & Mining).


Competitor	Capacity
Dongshengmiao Mining	600,000 metric tons of extracting capacity 400,000 metric tons of extracting capacity
Wancheng Trading & Mining

Compared to our competitors, we believe we enjoy superior experience, better management of projects and a good and stable management team.

Business Strategy

Expansion of Production Capacity to Meet Demand

▼ Fluorite

We extracted approximately 68,000 metric tons of fluorite ore in 2006. In 2007, we expect to extract 150,000 metric tons of fluorite ore. In early 2006, we started a 300,000 metric ton fluorite ore project at Xiangzhen Mining. In 2008, this project will reach 70% of its designed annual capacity and by 2009, our Company will have the capacity to extract 300,000 metric tons of fluorite ore per year.

We produced approximately 14,800 metric tons of refined fluorite powder in 2006. In early 2006, we started to build a 200,000 metric ton/year fluorite ore processing plant in Sumochaganaobao. The new plant will go into full production by the fourth quarter of 2007. We expect to produce about 30,000 metric tons of refined fluorite powder in 2007. In 2008, this project will reach 70% of its designed annual capacity. After completion of the project in 2009, we project that we will produce approximately 100,000 metric tons of refined fluorite.

▼Copper, Lead and Zinc

In 2006, Qianzhen Mining purchased approximately 130,000 metric tons of zinc-lead ore and turned them into 14,000 metric tons of refined zinc powders and 1,900 metric tons of refined lead powder. In 2006,

Qingshan Metal produced 41,000 metric tons of copper ore (to be turned into 790 metric tons of refined copper powder) and 5,500 metric tons of zinc-lead ore (supplied to Qianzhen Mining). In 2007, Qianzhen Mining will continue to purchase raw materials from third parties. Qingshan Metal plans to produce 65,000 metric tons of copper-zinc ore. Since its capacity is 70,000 metric tons, it may have to purchase copper-zinc ore from third parties. Qingshan Metal will expand its extracting capacity in June 2007 and by April 2008, it will be able to produce 100,000 metric tons of copper ore per year which will supply Qianzhen Mining, and thereafter additional 50,000 metric tons of zinc ore per year which Qingshan Metal itself will process.

In July 2006, we started to build a 200,000 metric ton/year zinc-copper ore mining and processing project at Keyinbulake Multi-Metal Mine in Buerjin County, Aletal Zone, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. This project will initially go into production in early September of 2007 and will produce 5,000 metric tons zinc ore powder and 2,500 metric tons copper ore powder in 2007. In 2008, we expect to produce 200,000 metric tons of zinc and /or copper powder which will be processed into 14,000 metric tons zinc ore powder and 7,100 metric tons copper ore powder.

Increase Exploration Activities

Tianzhen Mining has just finished exploration activities at the Yangye Copper Mine & Huayuan Copper Mine and we expect to obtain a mining license from Xinjiang Bureau of Land and Resources in April 2007. Currently, our company is conducting exploration activities in Wuzunagen Lead & Zinc Mine and Jiangejier Lead & Zinc Mine owned by Tianzhen Mining. We plan to further increase exploration activities there. We signed a contract with Xinjiang Nonferrous Geology Prospecting Bureau to do the exploration work for us. We expect to complete a reserve evaluation report which is a requirement for applying mining licenses for these two mines in 2007.

Acquire More Mineral Resources

To increase our reserve and insure supply to our processing facilities, we plan to acquire domestic and foreign large-scale mines in order to expand rapidly in the short term. The Company is in the process of acquiring a gold-copper mine in Kyrgyzstan. We also expect to acquire some additional nonferrous metal mines domestically which have good conditions and possess all necessary governmental licenses.

Expand into Down Stream Chemical Business

To increase the profit margin of our business, we plan to expand into the fluorite chemical industry which enjoys a very high margin and a rapidly growing market through the acquisition of some fluorite chemical companies.

Competitive Advantages

We believe we have the following competitive advantages:

One of the best fluorite mines in China which has high purity fluorite ore and good extracting conditions.

Experienced management team. Most of our officers have more than 20 years of experience in this industry.

We have good relationships with local government agencies. Compared to our competitors, we possess relatively more exploration rights, and many of our subsidiaries are located in the western part of China and therefore enjoy many preferential tax and regulatory policies.

Government Regulation

The following is a summary of the principal governmental laws and regulations that are or may be applicable to our operations in the PRC. The scope and enforcement of many of the laws and regulations described below are uncertain. We cannot predict the effect of further developments in the Chinese legal system, including the promulgation of new laws, changes to existing laws or the interpretation or enforcement of laws.

The mining industry, including certain exploration and mining activities, is highly regulated in the PRC. Regulations issued or implemented by the State Council, the Ministry of Land and Resources, and other relevant government authorities cover many aspects of exploration and mining of natural resources, including entry into the mining industry, the scope of permissible business activities, interconnection and transmission line arrangements, tariff policy and foreign investment.

The principal regulations governing the mining business in the PRC include:

China Mineral Resources Law, which requires a mining business to have exploration and mining licenses provincial or local land and resources agencies.

China Mine Safety Law, which requires a mining business to have a safe production license and provides for random safety inspections of mining facilities.

China Environmental Law, which requires a mining project to obtain an environmental feasibility study of the project.

Foreign Exchange Controls. The principal regulations governing foreign exchange in the PRC are the Foreign Exchange Control Regulations (1996) and the Administration of Settlement, Sale and Payment of Foreign Exchange Regulations (1996), (“the Foreign Exchange Regulations”). Under the Foreign Exchange Regulations, Renminbi (“RMB”) is freely convertible into foreign currency for current account items, including the distribution of dividends. Conversion of RMB for capital account items, such as direct investment, loans and security investment, however, is still subject to the approval of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange (“SAFE”). Under the Foreign Exchange Regulations, foreign-invested enterprises are required to open and maintain separate foreign exchange accounts for capital account items. In addition, foreign-invested enterprises may only buy, sell and/or remit foreign currencies at those banks authorized to conduct foreign exchange business after providing valid commercial documents and, in the case of capital account item transactions, obtaining approval from SAFE.

All of our operating subsidiaries in China have been authorized by land and resources departments of local governments. Chinese regulations require that mining enterprises must procure an exploration or mining license from land and resource department of local governments before they can carry out exploration or mining activities. This license ensures that an enterprise follow proper procedures in its own exploring or mining activities and in selling its products to customers. We have secured the necessary exploration or mining licenses from local governments. Most of our mining companies possess exploration or mining licenses and some of them are applying for mining licenses after exploration.

Chinese regulations also require that a mining company must have a safety certification from the PRC Administration of Work Safety before it can engage in mining and extracting activities. All of our operating subsidiaries have obtained safety certification from the Administration of Work Safety of local governments. In addition, all of our operating subsidiaries have passed government safety inspections.

We also have been granted environmental certification from the PRC Bureau of Environmental Protection.

Employees

As of December 31, 2006, we employed 463 full-time employees, of whom approximately 18% are with Qianzhen Mining, 56% are with Xiangzhen Mining, 8% are with Tianzhen Mining (Nonferrous copper, zinc, lead and other metal ore mining and processing), 13% are with Qingshan Metal (copper and zinc ore mining) and 5% are with Xingzhen Mining (Holding exploration rights of copper ore and zinc ore) Approximately 18% of our employees are management personnel, and 3% are sales and procurement staff. In terms of education level, 8.5% of our employees have a college degree or higher.

Under Chinese law, our employees have formed trade unions which protect employees’ rights, aim to assist in the fulfillment of our economic objectives, encourage employee participation in management decisions and assist in mediating disputes between us and union members. We believe that we maintain a satisfactory working relationship with our employees and we have not experienced any significant labor disputes or any difficulty in recruiting staff for our operations.

As required by applicable Chinese law, we have entered into employment contracts with all of our employees. We have also entered into a confidentiality agreement with all of our employees under which such employees are prohibited from disclosing confidential information of the Company or using it for other purposes than the benefit of the Company. Directors, officers, mid-level managers and some key employees in sales and R&D are required to sign a non-compete agreement which prohibits them from competing with the Company while they are employees of the Company and within two years after their employment with the Company is terminated.

Our employees in China participate in a state pension arrangement organized by Chinese municipal and provincial governments. We are required to contribute to the arrangement at the rate of 20% of the average monthly salary. In addition, we are required by Chinese law to cover employees in China with other types of social insurance. Our total contribution may amount to 30% of the average monthly salary. We have purchased social insurance for all of our employees. Expense related to social insurance was approximately $29,335, for fiscal year 2006.

Risk Factors

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION AND CERTAIN IMPORTANT FACTORS

In this Annual Report on Form 10-KSB/A we make, and from time to time we otherwise make, written and oral statements regarding our business and prospects, such as projections of future performance, statements of management’s plans and objectives, forecasts of market trends, and other matters that are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Statements containing the words or phrases “will likely result,” “are expected to,” “will continue,” “is anticipated,” “estimates,” “projects,” “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “target,” “goal,” “plans,” “objective,” “should” or similar expressions identify forward-looking statements, which may appear in documents, reports and filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, news releases, written or oral presentations made by officers or other representatives made by us to analysts, stockholders, investors, news organizations and others, and discussions with management and other of our representatives. For such statements, we invoke the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

Our future results, including results related to forward-looking statements, involve a number of risks and uncertainties. No assurance can be given that the results reflected in any forward-looking statements will be achieved. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made. Our forward-looking statements are based upon assumptions that are sometimes based upon estimates, data, communications and other information from suppliers, government agencies and other sources that may be subject to revision. Except as required by law, we do not undertake any obligation to update or keep current either (i) any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances arising after the date of such

statement, or (ii) the important factors that could cause our future results to differ materially from historical results or trends, results anticipated or planned by us, or which are reflected from time to time in any forward-looking statement.

In addition to other matters identified or described by us from time to time in filings with the SEC, there are several important factors that could cause our future results to differ materially from historical results or trends, results anticipated or planned by us, or results that are reflected from time to time in any forward-looking statement. Some of these important factors, but not necessarily all important factors, include the following:

Risks Related Our Business

We may not be able to secure financing needed for future operating needs on acceptable terms, or on any terms at all.

From time to time, we may seek additional financing to provide the capital required to maintain or expand our exploration activities and mining facilities, and equipment and/or working capital, as well as repay outstanding loans if cash flow from operations is insufficient to do so. We cannot predict with certainty the timing or amount of any such capital requirements. If such financing is not available on satisfactory terms, we may be unable to expand our business or to develop new business as the rate desired, and our operating results may suffer. If we are able to incur debt, we may be subject to certain restrictions imposed by the terms of the debt and the repayment of such debt may limit our cash flow and our ability to grow. If we are unable to incur debt, we may be forced to issue additional equity, which could have a dilutive effect on the then current holders of equity.

We receive a significant portion of our revenues from a small number of customers. Our business will be harmed if our customers reduce their orders from us.

A significant amount of our revenues are derived from only a small number of customers mainly in the iron and steel and fluorite chemical industries. Dependence on a few customers could expose us to the risk of substantial losses if a single dominant customer stops purchasing our products. If we lose any customers and are unable to replace them with other customers that purchase a similar amount of our products and services, our revenues and net income would decline considerably.

We may not have sufficient supply of nonferrous ore.

Qianzhen Mining, one of our subsidiaries, has a 200,000 metric ton/year processing capacity for zinc-lead ore. However, it does not produce any ore it processes. Currently, it obtains its supply of ore from third parties. Its contracts with third parties will expire in June 2008. We may not be able to renew contracts or secure new contracts with third party suppliers. Although we plan to increase the quantity of nonferrous metal ore at Qingshan Metal to replace third party suppliers, we may not be able to produce a sufficient quantity to ensure the supply of ore for Qianzhen Mining. As a result, our revenues may be reduced and our business would suffer.

Inclement weather may affect our fluorite business.

Our fluorite business is conducted through Xiangzhen Mining which is located in an outlying area on the border between China’s Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region and Mongolia. The weather conditions there are very harsh, especially in winter. If there is a strong snow storm, our fluorite mining operations may have to be suspended for an indefinite period of time and we may not be able to ship our fluorite products to our customers in time. As a result, our revenues may be negatively impacted.

Our administrative costs could affect our ability to be profitable.

Our exploration and mining operations are scattered across several geographical locations in China and we will complete an acquisition of a gold mine in Kyrgyzstan. Our administrative costs may increase as a result and our profitability may be affected.

Our ability to operate our company effectively could be impaired if we lose key personnel

We depend on the services of key executives and a small number of personnel focused on the development of our mining projects. Additionally, the number of persons skilled in the development and operation of mining properties is limited and significant competition exists for these individuals. We cannot assure you that we will be able to employ key personnel or that we will be able to attract and retain qualified personnel in the future. We do not maintain “key person” life insurance to cover our executive officers. Due to the relatively small size of our company, our failure to retain or attract key personnel may delay or otherwise adversely affect the development of our projects, which would have a material adverse effect on our business.

We may not be able to attract and retain the additional personnel we will need to develop any of our projects

We are a small company with a limited operating history and relatively few employees. The development of any of our proposed projects will place substantial demands on us. We will be required to recruit additional personnel and to train, motivate and manage these new employees. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in attracting and retaining such personnel.

We may not be able to obtain or renew licenses, rights and permits required to develop or operate our mines, or we may encounter environmental conditions or requirements which would adversely affect our business

In the ordinary course of business, mining companies are required to seek governmental permits for expansion of existing operations or for the commencement of new operations. In addition to requiring permits for the development of our mines, we will need to obtain various mining during the life of the project. Obtaining and renewing the necessary governmental permits is a complex and time-consuming process. Obtaining or renewing necessary permits may increase costs and cause delays depending on the nature of the activity to be permitted and the interpretation of applicable requirements implemented by the permitting authority. There can be no assurance that all necessary permits will be obtained and, if obtained, will be renewed, or that in each case the costs involved will not exceed those that we previously estimated. It is possible that the costs and delays associated with compliance with such standards and regulations could become such that we would not proceed with the development or operation of a mine or mines.

Any material inaccuracies in our production estimates could adversely affect our results of operations

We have prepared estimates of future production. We cannot assure you that we will ever achieve our production estimates or any production at all. Our production estimates depend on, among other things:

the accuracy of our mineralization and reserves estimates;

the accuracy of assumptions regarding ore grades and recovery rates;

ground conditions and physical characteristics of the mineralization, such as hardness and the presence or absence of particular metallurgical characteristics;

the accuracy of estimated rates and costs of mining and processing; and

our ability to obtain and keep effective all permits for our mines and facilities.

Our actual production may vary from our estimates if any of our assumptions prove to be incorrect.

Expansion of our business may put added pressure on our management and operational infrastructure, impeding our ability to meet any increased demand for our products and possibly hurting our operating results.

Our business plan is to significantly grow our operations to meet anticipated growth in demand for our products. Our planned growth includes the expansion of exploration and mining over the next few years. Although most of management personnel have extensive experience in the mining industry, their training is in mining operations rather than contemporary management principles. They may be not able to cope with the challenges presented by being a U.S. public company and the competitive business environment due to globalization. In addition, growth in our business may place a significant strain on our personnel, management, financial systems and other resources. The evolution of our business also presents numerous risks and challenges, including:

•

the continued demand of our products by the iron and steel, and fluorite chemical industries;

•

our ability to successfully and rapidly expand our operations in response to potentially increasing demand;

•

the costs associated with such growth, which are difficult to quantify, but could be significant;

•

rapid technological change; and

•

the highly cyclical nature of the mining industry.

If we are successful in obtaining rapid market growth of our products, we will be required to deliver large volumes of quality products to customers on a timely basis and at a reasonable cost to those customers. Meeting any such increased demand will require us to expand our manufacturing facilities, to increase our ability to purchase raw materials, to increase the size of our work force, to expand our quality control capabilities and to increase the scale upon which we provide our products. Such demands would require more capital (including working capital) than we currently have available and we may be unable to meet the needs of our customers.

We may not succeed in listing our common stock on a U.S. stock exchange, resulting in the payment of increased interest and liquidated damages to our primary lender.

On December 27, 2006, we issued $28,000,000 original principal amount of convertible notes to Citadel Equity Fun Ltd. The convertible notes are further described in the Managements Discussion and Analysis section under “CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS AND COMMERCIAL COMMITMENTS – Convertible Notes”. The indenture relating to the convertible notes contains a covenant that we will finalize the listing of our common stock on the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange or NASDAQ by November 15, 2007. If we fail to obtain such listing by that time, the interest rate on the Notes will increase from 6.75% to 10.50% (dropping to 8.5% once we obtain the listing), and we will be required to pay liquidated damages to the holders of the convertible notes of $750,000. The convertible notes provide for additional liquidated damages if we fail to keep other covenants relating to (i) appointment of auditors, (ii) appointment of a chief financial officer with U.S. listed company experience, or (iii) honoring a right of the holder of the notes to nominate a director to our board of directors. Consequently, if we are unable to procure a listing on a U.S. stock exchange by November 15, 2007, or to honor our other covenants under the Notes, we will incur additional expenses and our profitability will suffer.

Risks Related to Our Industry

Fluctuations in the market price of fluorite and nonferrous metals could adversely affect the value of our company and our securities

The profitability of our operations will be directly related to the market price of the metals we mine and refine. The market prices of fluorite and nonferrous metals fluctuate widely and are affected by numerous factors beyond the control of any mining company. These factors include fluctuations with respect to the rate of inflation, the exchange rates of the Renminbi and other currencies, interest rates, global or regional political and economic conditions, banking industry fluctuations, global and regional demand, production costs in major metal producing areas and a number of other factors. Any drop in the price of the metals important to our operations would adversely impact our revenues, profits and cash flows. In particular, a sustained drop in prices could:

cause suspension of our development and, ultimately our mining operations, if such operations become uneconomic at the then-prevailing prices, thus further reducing revenues;

prevent us from fulfilling our obligations under our agreements or under our permits and licenses which could cause us to lose our interests in, or be forced to sell, our properties; and

reduce financing available to us.

Furthermore, the need to reassess the feasibility of any of our projects if metals prices decline could cause substantial delays or might interrupt operations until the reassessment can be completed. Mineral reserve calculations and life-of-mine plans using significantly lower metals prices could result in reduced estimates of mineral reserves and in material write-downs of our investment in mining properties and increased amortization, reclamation and closure charges.

Mining is inherently dangerous and subject to conditions or events beyond our control, and any operating hazards could have a material adverse effect on our business

Mining involves various types of risks and hazards, including: environmental hazards, industrial accidents, metallurgical and other processing problems, unusual or unexpected rock formations, structure cave-in or slides, flooding, fires and interruption due to inclement or hazardous weather conditions.

These risks could result in damage to, or destruction of, mineral properties, production facilities or other properties, personal injury or death, environmental damage, delays in mining, increased production costs, monetary losses and possible legal liability. We may not be able to obtain insurance to cover these risks at economically feasible premiums and some types of insurance may be unavailable or too expensive to maintain. We may suffer a material adverse effect on our business and the value of our securities may decline if we incur losses related to any significant events that are not covered by our insurance policies.

There is no guarantee that legal title to the properties in which we have an interest will not be challenged, which could result in the loss of our rights in those properties

The ownership and validity, or title, of unpatented mining claims are often uncertain and may be contested. A successful claim contesting our title or interest to a property could cause us to lose our rights to mine that property. In addition, the success of such a claimant could result in our not being compensated for our prior expenditures relating to the property.

The mining industry is intensely competitive, and we may have difficulty effectively competing with other mining companies in the future

Mines have limited lives and, as a result, we must continually seek to replace and expand our mineralization and reserves through the acquisition of new properties. Significant competition exists for the acquisition of properties producing or capable of producing fluorite and nonferrous metals. We may be at a competitive disadvantage in acquiring additional mining properties because we must compete with other individuals and companies, many of which may have greater financial resources and larger technical staffs

than we have. As a result of this competition, we may be unable to acquire attractive mining properties on acceptable terms.

Shortages of critical parts, equipment and skilled labor may adversely affect our development projects

The industry has been impacted by increased worldwide demand for critical resources such as input commodities, drilling equipment, tires and skilled labor. These shortages have caused and may continue to cause unanticipated cost increases and delays in delivery times, potentially impacting operating costs, capital expenditures and production schedules.

Costs estimates and timing of new projects are uncertain

The capital expenditures and time required to develop new mines or other projects are considerable and changes in costs or construction schedules can affect project economics. There are a number of factors that can affect costs and construction schedules, including, among others:

availability of labor, power, transportation, commodities and infrastructure;

increases in input commodity prices and labor costs;

fluctuations in exchange rates;

availability of financing;

difficulty of estimating construction costs over a period of years; and

delays in obtaining environmental or other government permits.

Risks Relate to Doing Business in China

The Company’s business will be affected by PRC government regulation and the country’s economic environment because most of our sales will be in the China market.

Although we export products to other countries, most of our sales are in the PRC. It is anticipated that our products in China will continue to represent a significant portion of sales in the near future. As a result of our reliance on the China markets, our operating results and financial performance could be affected by any adverse changes in economic, political and social conditions in China.

There can be no assurance that future regulatory, judicial and legislative changes will not have a material adverse effect on us, that regulators or third parties will not raise material issues with regard to compliance or non-compliance with applicable laws or regulations, or that any changes in applicable laws or regulations will not have a material adverse effect on our business.

The economy of the PRC has been transitioning from a planned economy to market oriented economy. Although in recent years the Chinese government has implemented measures emphasizing the utilization of market forces for economic reforms, the reduction of state ownership of productive assets and the establishment of sound corporate governance in business enterprises, a substantial portion of productive assets in the PRC are still owned by the Chinese government. For example, all lands are state owned and are leased to business entities or individuals through governmental granting of state-owned land use rights or mining and exploration rights. The granting process is typically based on government policies at the time of granting and it could be lengthy and complex. This process may adversely affect our future business expansion. The Chinese government also exercises significant control over the PRC’s economic growth through the allocation of resources, controlling payment of foreign currency and providing preferential treatment to particular industries or companies. Uncertainties may arise with changing of governmental policies and measures. At present, our mining and exploration activities are subject to approvals from the relevant government authorities in China. Such governmental approval processes are typically lengthy and complex, and never certain to be obtained.

There are risks inherent in doing business in China.

The PRC is a developing country with a young market economic system overshadowed by the state. Its political and economic systems are very different from the more developed countries and are still in the state of change. China also faces many social, economic and political challenges that may produce major shocks and instabilities and even crises, in both its domestic arena and in its relationship with other countries, including but not limited to the United States. Such shocks, instabilities and crises may in turn significantly and adversely affect our performance.

Certain political and economic considerations relating to the PRC could adversely affect CSZM.

While the PRC government has pursued economic reforms since its adoption of the open-door policy in 1978, a large portion of the PRC economy is still operating under five-year plans and annual state plans. Through these plans and other economic measures, such as control on foreign exchange, taxation and restrictions on foreign participation in the domestic market of various industries, the PRC government exerts considerable direct and indirect influence on the economy. Many of the economic reforms carried out by the PRC government are unprecedented or experimental, and are expected to be refined and improved. Other political, economic and social factors can also lead to further readjustment of such reforms. This refining and readjustment process may not necessarily have a positive effect on our operations or future business development. Our operating results may be adversely affected by changes in the PRC’s economic and social conditions as well as by changes in the policies of the PRC government, such as changes in laws and regulations (or the official interpretation thereof), measures which may be introduced to control inflation, changes in the interest rate or method of taxation, and the imposition of additional restrictions on currency conversion.

The recent nature and uncertain application of many PRC laws applicable to CSZM create an uncertain environment for business operations and they could have a negative effect on us.

The PRC legal system is a civil law system. Unlike the common law system, the civil law system is based on written statutes in which decided legal cases have little value as precedents. In 1979, the PRC began to promulgate a comprehensive system of laws and has since introduced many laws and regulations to provide general guidance on economic and business practices in the PRC and to regulate foreign investment. Progress has been made in the promulgation of laws and regulations dealing with economic matters such as corporate organization and governance, foreign investment, commerce, taxation and trade. The promulgation of new laws, changes of existing laws and the abrogation of local regulations by national laws could have a negative impact on our business and business prospects. In addition, as these laws, regulations and legal requirements are relatively recent, their interpretation and enforcement involve significant uncertainty.

A new Chinese law may impact our ability to make acquisitions of Chinese businesses.

On August 8, 2006, six PRC regulatory agencies namely, the PRC Ministry of Commerce, the State Assets Supervision and Administration Commission (“SASAC”), the State Administration for Taxation, the State Administration for Industry and Commerce, the China Securities Regulatory Commission (“CSRC”), and the State Administration of Foreign Exchange (“SAFE”), jointly adopted the Regulations on Mergers and Acquisitions of Domestic Enterprises by Foreign Investors (the “New M&A Rule”), which became effective on September 8, 2006. The New M&A Rule purports, among other things, to require offshore Special Purpose Ventures, or SPVs, formed after the effective date, for overseas listing purposes, through acquisitions of PRC domestic companies and controlled by PRC companies or individuals, to obtain the approval of the CSRC prior to publicly listing their securities on an overseas stock exchange.

The Company intends to make acquisitions of Chinese businesses in the future. There are uncertainties regarding the interpretation and application of current or future PRC laws and regulations, including the New M&A Rule and those uncertainties could make it difficult or impossible to make acquisitions of Chinese businesses in the future.

Foreign Investment Policy Change

On March 16, 2007, China's parliament, the National People's Congress, adopted the Enterprise Income Tax Law, which will take effect on January 1, 2008. The new income tax law sets a unified income tax rate for domestic and foreign companies at 25 percent and abolishes the favorable policy for foreign invested enterprises. After this law takes effect, newly established foreign invested enterprises will not enjoy favorable tax treatment as in effect under current tax laws. Some of our subsidiaries are benefiting from the preferred tax rates for foreign companies and will be subject to the new tax rate when their respective term of preferred tax rates expires. Our net income margin may be affected at that time.

Risks Related to the Market for Our Stock

The market for our Common Stock is limited.

The trading market in our common stock is the Over the Counter Bulletin Board. The Bulletin Board is an unorganized, inter-dealer, over-the-counter market that provides significantly less liquidity than NASDAQ or Amex, and quotes for stocks included on the Bulletin Board are not listed in the financial sections of newspapers, as are those for the NASDAQ or Amex Stock Market.

Trading in our common stock has been sporadic and does not constitute an active market. From September 16, 2006 to March 21, 2007, our trading volume has been very low and inconsistent, ranging from no trading at all to a high of 56,600 shares. During the same period, the high sale price was $9.00 and the low sale price was $3.10. Prior to the acquisition of AFMG, we were a publicly traded shell and the transactions in our stock while we were a shell are not relevant. On March 21, 2007, the closing price was $4.25.

We currently have approximately 675 shareholders. But the trading volume has been low. A viable public trading market may not develop for our shares or may take a period of time to develop. Such a market, if it does develop, could be subject to extreme price and volume fluctuations. In the absence of an active trading market:

•

Shareholders may have difficulty buying and selling or obtaining market quotations;

•

market visibility for our Common Stock may be limited; and

•

a lack of visibility for our Common Stock may have a depressive effect on the market price for our Common Stock.

You may face difficulties in protecting your interests, and your ability to protect your rights through the U.S. federal courts may be limited, as our subsidiaries are incorporated in non-U.S. jurisdictions, we conduct substantially all of our operations in China, and all of our officers reside outside the United States.

We conduct substantially all of our operations in China through our wholly owned subsidiaries in China. All of our officers reside outside the United States and some or all of the assets of those persons are located outside of the United States. As a result, it may be difficult or impossible for you to bring an action against us or against these individuals in China in the event that you believe that your rights have been infringed under the securities laws or otherwise. Even if you are successful in bringing an action of this kind, the laws of the PRC may render you unable to enforce a judgment against our assets or the assets of our directors and officers. As a result of all of the above, our public stockholders may have more difficulty in protecting their interests through actions against our management, directors or major stockholders than would stockholders of a corporation doing business entirely within the United States.

The trading prices of many companies that have business operations only in China have been volatile which may result in large fluctuations in the price of our Common Stock and losses for shareholders.

The stock market has experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that have particularly affected the trading prices of equity securities of many companies that have business operations only in China.

These fluctuations have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of many of these companies. Any negative change in the public’s perception of these companies could depress our stock price regardless of our operating results. The market price of our Common Stock has been and may continue to be volatile. We expect our stock price to be subject to fluctuations as a result of a variety of factors, including factors beyond our control. These factors include:

•

actual or anticipated variations in our quarterly operating results;

•

announcements of technological innovations or new products or services by us or our competitors;

•

announcements relating to strategic relationships or acquisitions;

•

additions or terminations of coverage of our Common Stock by securities analysts;

•

statements by securities analysts regarding us or our industry;

•

conditions or trends in the our industry; and

•

changes in the economic performance and/or market valuations of other industrial fire safety companies.

The prices at which our Common Stock trades will affect our ability to raise capital, which may have an adverse affect on our ability to fund our operations.

Our Common Stock may be considered to be a “penny stock” and, as such, the market for our Common Stock may be further limited by certain SEC rules applicable to penny stocks.

To the extent the price of our common stock remains below $5.00 per share, we have net tangible assets of $2,000,000 or less, or if we fall below certain other thresholds, our common shares will be subject to certain “penny stock” rules promulgated by the SEC. Those rules impose certain sales practice requirements on brokers who sell penny stock to persons other than established customers and accredited investors (generally institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with net worth in excess of $1,000,000). For transactions covered by the penny stock rules, the broker must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to the sale. Furthermore, the penny stock rules generally require, among other things, that brokers engaged in secondary trading of penny stocks provide customers with written disclosure documents, monthly statements of the market value of penny stocks, disclosure of the bid and asked prices and disclosure of the compensation to the brokerage firm and disclosure of the sales person working for the brokerage firm. These rules and regulations adversely affect the ability of brokers to sell our common shares and limit the liquidity of our securities.

We may seek to make acquisitions that prove unsuccessful or strain or divert our resources.

We may seek to expand our business through the acquisition of related businesses and assets. We may not be able to complete any acquisitions on favorable terms or at all. Acquisitions present risks that could materially and adversely affect our business and financial performance, including:

•

the diversion of our management’s attention from our everyday business activities;

•

the contingent and latent risks associated with the past operations of, and other unanticipated problems arising in, the acquired business; and

•

the need to expand management, administration, and operational systems.

If we make such acquisitions we cannot predict whether:

•

we will be able to successfully integrate the operations and personnel of any new businesses into our business;

•

we will realize any anticipated benefits of completed acquisitions; or

•

there will be substantial unanticipated costs associated with acquisitions, including potential costs associated with environmental liabilities undiscovered at the time of acquisition.

In addition, future acquisitions by us may result in:

•

potentially dilutive issuances of our equity securities;

•

the incurrence of additional debt;

•

restructuring charges; and

•

the recognition of significant charges for depreciation and amortization related to intangible assets.

We do not intend to pay any dividends on our Common Stock in the foreseeable future.

We currently intend to retain all future earnings, if any, to finance our current and proposed business activities and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our Common Stock in the foreseeable future. We may also incur indebtedness in the future that may prohibit or effectively restrict the payment of cash dividends on our Common Stock.

We are not currently compliant with certain Sarbanes-Oxley Act standards.

The enactment of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act in July 2002 created a significant number of new corporate governance and internal control requirements. Since our Common Stock is currently quoted on the OTCBB, it is not currently subject to a number of such requirements. Although we expect to implement the requisite changes to become compliant with existing requirements, and new requirements when they do apply to us, we may not be able to do so, or to do so in a timely manner. If we do not come into compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act corporate governance requirements, we may not be able to list its securities on either AMEX or Nasdaq markets in the event we ever attempt to do so.

Certain stockholders can exert control over the Company and may not make decisions that further the best interests of all stockholders.

Our officers, directors and principal stockholders (greater than 5% stockholders) together will own an aggregate of approximately 79.21% of our outstanding Common Stock on a fully diluted basis. Consequently, these stockholders, if they act individually or together, may exert a significant degree of influence over our management and affairs and over matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors and approval of significant corporate transactions. In addition, this concentration of ownership may delay or prevent a change of control of us and might affect the market price of our Common Stock, even when a change of control may be in the best interest of all stockholders. Furthermore, the interests of this concentration of ownership may not always coincide with our interests or the interests of other stockholders, and accordingly, they could cause us to enter into transactions or agreements which we would not otherwise consider.

Our investors may lose their entire investment in our securities.

An investment in our securities is highly speculative and may result in the loss of the entire investment. Only potential investors who are experienced investors in high risk investments and who can afford to lose their entire investment should consider an investment in our securities.

ITEM 2.

DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY

As in most jurisdictions, mineral rights in China are divided into two types: exploration rights and extraction rights. Exploration rights refer to the right obtained in accordance with the PRC law for exploring for mineral resources within the areas authorized by the exploration license. Extraction rights refer to the rights obtained in accordance with the law for exploitation of mineral resources and market control of mineral products. In nearly every jurisdiction in the world, mineral rights are absolutely exclusive. In China, however, there are no clear stipulations regarding the exclusivity of mineral rights. Under Chinese mining laws and regulations, generally an exploration license is valid for no more than 3 years and extension of the exploration license shall not exceed two years and two extensions. The

maximum time length of extraction rights in China that can be obtained are 3, 5 and 10 years for small, medium, and large companies respectively. Extraction rights can be extended if the company intends to continue mining. The basic requirements to qualify for extension are: there is no overlap of extraction rights in the area applied, satisfies the “three districts” planning proposal, achieved minimum possible mining scale, satisfied all duties required, satisfied required quality conditions for mining, and agree to paid transition. Application for extension needs to be submitted at least 30 days before the expiration date of the current extraction right. The government needs to respond, either approve or disapprove, in 40 days after receiving the application for extension.

All land in China is owned by the state. Individuals and companies are permitted to acquire rights to use land or land use rights for specific purposes. In the case of land used for industrial purposes, the land use rights are granted for a period of 50 years. This period may be renewed at the expiration of the initial and any subsequent terms. Granted land use rights are transferable and may be used as security for borrowings and other obligations.

The main equipment and machinery of our business include mineral extracting tools, conveyor lines, ball mill, jaw crushers and flotation machines, magnetic machines, etc.

We believe that all of our properties and equipment have been adequately maintained, are generally in good condition, and are suitable and adequate for our business. We plan to purchase additional equipment this year to increase capacity.

The following table summarizes our property:

Detailed Description of Exploration and Mining Rights

Xiangzhen Mining----Sumozaganaobao Fluorite Mine

Xiangzhen Mining holds extraction rights to one fluorite mine, the Sumozaganaobao Fluorite Mine located in the middle part of Inner Mongolia, near the border between China and Mongolia. Our mining license for the Sumozaganaobao Mine (License no. 1526000220071, with Temporary Extension No. 1526000630047), issued by Wulanchabu City Department of Land and Resources will expire after May 2007. Xiangzhen Mining has submitted an application to Inner Mongolia Bureau of Land and Resources to extend the mining right for the Sumozaganaobao Fluorite Mine. The new mining license should be issued after we pay the mining right fee, which is calculated based on a valuation of reserve and grade done by an independent valuation expert certified by Inner Mongolia Bureau of Land and Resources.

The Sumozaganaobao Fluorite Mine is approximately 300 kilometers northwest of Huhhot, and 120 kilometers southwest of Erlianhot. Huhhot is the capital city of Inner Mongolia, which is a port city on the border of China and Mongolia. There are highways between the mine area and these cities, which make transportation convenient. The climate in this area is typically continental with distinct seasons, with abundant wind and little rain, large temperature ranges between night and day, and a long winter (5 months) that is not suitable for mining exploration and production.

The 102 Geological Team of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region spent 6 years completing the exploration work of the Sumozaganaobao Fluorite Mine, including surveying geological, topographic and hydro geological conditions, application of various detection methods applying boring and trenching methods, and undertaking experimental analyses and tests of sampling materials. In 1985, the 102 Geological Team submitted the “Report on Jade-like Mining Geological Conditions in Sumozaganaobao Fluorite Mine” with serial official number 5144. Subsequently the Inner Mongolia Geology Mining Bureau issued the Inner-land Approval Document No. 115 on October 23, 1987, which verified reserves in the Sumozaganaobao Fluorite Mine for 332+333 compound Class jade-like ore mining of 8.14 million metric tons with an average content for CaF2 of 53.86% of which Class 332 is 57.58%, equal to 5.05 million metric tons and 3.09 million metric tons for Class 333 with grade 70.19%. The survey identified a mineral deposit in the Sumozaganaobao Fluorite Mine of large jade-like ore whose length is a total of 1,200 meters, and whose seam thickness varies from 0.45 meter to 22.48 meters with an average thickness of 5.55 meters.

Types of ore in the mine are mainly quartzite-jade-like stones and carbonic acid rock of quartzite-jade-like and single-jade-like minerals. Its relatively complicated structure is of fine crystals and tape bars mainly with some other hornstone and crystalline and other minerals.

The mining capacity of the Sumozaganaobao Fluorite Mine is currently 80,000 metric tons per year. The demand for fluorite and fluorine chemical products in the PRC is escalating. Accordingly, the Company has developed a plan to increase its production capacity to 150,000 annual metric tons in 2007 through upgrading its exploration equipment. Its production capacity is targeted to reach 300,000 metric tons annually in 2008.

The Xiangzhen Mining fluorspar mine has a proven reserve of 8.14 million metric tons. The data was provided by Siziwang Qi National Bureau of Land & Resources, and was verified and certified by China Chemical Geology & Mine General Administration of Inner Mongolia Geological Survey Institute dated January 12, 2006.

Qingshan Metal ---- Qingxing Copper & Zinc Mine

Wulatehouqi Qingshan Non-Ferrous Metal Development Company Ltd. (“Qingshan Metal”) is located in Qingshan town of Wulatehou Banner in Inner Mongolia, geographic coordinates, east longitudinal 106°45′,

north latitude 40°58′. The mine benefits from convenient transportation infrastructure and a good supply of power and water.

In Qingxing Copper & Zinc Mine, there are two ore areas with five deposits which are the deposits Cu-2, Cu-3, Cu-4, Zn-1 and ZnS-1. One ore area includes the ore bodies of Cu-2, Cu-3, Cu-4 and another one Zn-1 and ZnS-1. The ore of the former occurs in char slate near the bottom part of the ore body. In Cu-2, it is controlled by the drilling holes of CK508 and Ck511, extending more than 350 meters, with thickness 2.0 to 6.4 meters, dip northwest and angle 76°. Its copper grade is 3.69%. In Cu-3, it is controlled by the drilling holes of CK504 and CK508, extending more than 500 meters, with thickness 3.1 to 8.9 meters, dip northwest and angle 76°. Its copper grade is 0.42%. In Cu-3, it is controlled by a single drilling hole of CK508, extending more than 260 meters, with an average thickness 17 meters, dip northwest and angle 68°. Its copper grade is 0.5%. In the ore body of the latter, Zn-1 is also controlled by two drilling holes with their incline control depth 170 meters and the average thickness 6 meters. Its copper grade is 5.02%, dip northwest and angle 50°. Its occurrence is stable, belonging to the stratoid ore body. In ZnS-1, the length of ore body is 105 meters with average thickness 6 meters, dip northwest and angle 65° to 80°.

Qingshan Metal holds the extraction rights to Qingxing Copper & Zinc Mine (Mining Area No. 2), which were estimated to be 246 million metric tons of copper and zinc ore with more than 18,500 metric tons of copper and 25,000 metric tons of zinc. It is as described above with deposits of galena, pyrite and chalcopyrite, and its current annual mining capacity is 65,000 metric tons. It has one processing plant with the annual treatment capacity of 50,000 metric tons of zinc and copper ores by flotation technology and process to produce copper and zinc concentrates.

Qingshan Metal holds mining license No.1500000530858 issued by Inner Mongolia Bureau of Land and Resources and Bayannoer City Department of Land and Resources. It expires in October 2008. Qingshan Metal has applied to the same government agencies for a new mining license for a larger mining area.

The reserve data is based on the Economic Analysis on Technology of Development and Utilization for Qingxin Copper Mine of Wulatehou Banner in Inner Mongolia supplied by Northwest Research Institute of Mining & Metallurgy.

The company is applying to Xinjiang Bureau of Land and Resources for a mining license of this mine, and we believe it will be approved by the Bureau by the end of April 2007.

Tianzhen Mining-------Three Exploration Rights

Tianzhen Mining is located in Wuqia County, Kezilesukerkezi Prefecture, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. It holds exploration licenses for the Huayuan Copper Mine, Yangye Copper Mine, Yangshugou Copper Mine, Wuzunagen Pb-Zn Mine and Jiangerjier Pb-Zn Mine. The mining licenses for the mines are in the process of application. The first three mines own the same exploration license, and Wuzunagen Pb-Zn Mine and Jiangerjier Pb-Zn Mine own separate exploration licenses. These mines are separately described below:

Huayuan Copper Mine (“Huayuan Mine”)

Huyuan Mine area is administered by Wuqia County, Kezilesukeerkezi autonomous prefecture, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. It is 4 kilometers from the mine to the southwest of Kangsu Town, which is 116 kilometers to the northwest of Kashi city. The area of the mine is 1.08 square kilometers.

The geographic coordinate of the mine is east longitude 74º56’23” to 87º9’30”, north latitude 39º41’38”. The ore area is located in the north of Kusiweike syncline. Its syncline is 12 to 25 degrees. No large fault or magma rock distribution has been found in the mine area.

There are three ore bodies showing on the surface, and all of them contain gray-green cupriferous sandstone which is distributed in disconnected strata. The length of the single deposit is 170 to 225 meters. The depth of the sole mine extends 40 to 80 meters, and the depth is 0.69 to15.51 meters.

The emerged stratum within the field belongs to the Mesozoic and Cainozoic group, with Cretaceous, Tertiary system and Quaternary systems. Its mineralization area is distributed in Miocene series of the Eogene, Oligocene, and Neogene systems in Tertiary system. Its main lithology consists of synopsis argillite, grey and yellow calcareous sandstone, grey and green calcareous sandstone, in which, the grey and green calcareous sandstone is just the copper sandstone (mineralization area). The copper-bearing calcareous sandstone shows green grey, 0.5 to 5 meters thick, the bedded rock consists of sand and calcareous cement, the debris includes quartz, feldspar and chips, the metallic minerals mainly consist of malachite, cuprites, a small amount of chlorite, and natural copper, which is presented in sparse and disseminated type, with the average copper grade about 1%.

Its structure mainly consists of a fold structure, which belongs to Kusiweike large-scale syncline, which presents in synclinorium with two subsidiary synclines and one subsidiary anticline, the axial direction of subsidiary syncline is approximate east-west, and the subsidiary anticline approximate west-east. The copper sandstone depends on the subsidiary fold, after the surface stripped, four mineralization areas formed. Copper sandstone may form four mineralized belt zones after the earth surface is stripped because of the control of the sub-fold erosion. Within the mining field, no faulted structure giving effect to the ore body existed, and no igneous rock emerged.

It was estimated that the Huayuan Mine copper has a reserve quantity of 333 grade of 2,395 metric tons, and that 3341 grade of 3,683 metric tons. It was estimated that there are 0.1 billion metric tons ore in the Huayuan Field. Based on the copper grade of 1%, the amount of copper metal is estimated to be more than 1.00 million metric tons.

We hold an exploration license for Huayuan Mine.

OVERVIEW

We are principally engaged in the exploration, development, mining, and processing of fluorite, zinc, lead, copper, and other nonferrous metals, through our subsidiaries in the PRC.

BUSINESS STRATEGY

(a) The Expansion of Production Capacity to Meet Demand

▼ Fluorite

In 2007, we expect to extract 150,000 metric tons of fluorite ore. In early 2006, we started a 300,000 metric ton fluorite ore project at Xiangzhen Mining. In 2008, this project will reach 70% of its designed annual capacity and by 2009, we will have the capacity to extract 300,000 metric tons of fluorite ore per year.

In early 2006, we began construction of a 200,000 metric ton/year fluorite ore processing plant in Sumochaganaobao. The new plant will go into full production by the fourth quarter of 2007. We expect to produce about 30,000 metric tons of refined fluorite powder in 2007. In 2008, this project will reach 70% of its designed annual capacity. After completion of the project in 2009, we project that we will have capacity to produce approximately 100,000 metric tons of refined fluorite.

▼Copper, Lead and Zinc

Qingshan Metal will expand its extracting capacity in June 2007 and by April 2008, it should be able to produce 100,000 metric tons of copper ore which will be supplied Qianzhen Mining, and with 50,000 metric tons of zinc ore which Qingshan Metal itself will process.

In July 2006, we began construction on a 200,000 metric ton/year zinc-copper ore mining and processing project at Keyinbulake Multi-Metal Mine in Buerjin County, Aletal Zone, Xingjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. This project will initially be put into production in early September 2007 when we expect to produce 5,000 metric tons of zinc ore powders and 2,500 metric tons of copper ore powders. In 2008 we expect that it will produce 200,000 metric tons of zinc and /or copper powders from which 14,000 metric tons of zinc ore powders and 7,100 metric tons of copper ore powders may be extracted.

(b) Increase Exploration Activities

Tianzhen Mining has just finished exploration activities at the Yangye Huayuan Copper Mine and we

expect to obtain a mining license from Xinjian Bureau of Land and Resources in April. Currently, the Company is conducting exploration activities in Wuzunagen Lead & Zinc Mine and Jiangejier Lead & Zinc Mine owned by Tianzhen Mining. We plan to further increase exploration activities there. We signed a contract with Xinjiang Nonferrous Geology Prospecting Bureau to do the exploration work for us. We expect to complete a reserve evaluation report which is a requirement for applying mining licenses for these two mines in 2007.

(c) Acquire More Mineral Resources

To increase our reserve and insure supply to our processing facilities, we plan to acquire domestic and even foreign large-scale mines in order to expand rapidly in the short term. The Company is in the process of acquiring a gold-copper mine in Kyrgyzstan. We expect to acquire some additional nonferrous metal mines domestically which have good conditions and possess all necessary governmental licenses.

(d) Expand into Down Stream Chemical Business

To increase the profit margin of our business, we plan to expand into the fluorite chemical industry which enjoys a very high margin and a rapidly growing market. The Chinese government is trying to privatize some state-owned fluorite companies that are on the verge of bankruptcy. We see this as a great opportunity to expand into this industry.

RECAPITALIZATION AND REORGANIZATION

On July 14, 2006, American Federal Mining Group, Inc. (“AFMG”, the then holding company of China Shenzhou’s PRC subsidiaries) completed the terms of a stock exchange agreement with Earth Products & Technologies, Inc. (“EPTI”). Pursuant to the stock exchange agreement, and as instructed by the Company, EPTI issued 20,000,000 shares of its common stock, of which 17,687,000 shares were issued to shareholders of AFMG, 1,013,000 shares to management of AFMG and 1,300,000 shares to the financial advisors of AFMG, in exchange for a 100% equity interest in AFMG, making AFMG a wholly-owned subsidiary of EPTI.

The above stock exchange transaction resulted in those shareholders of AFMG obtaining a majority voting interest in EPTI. Generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America require that the Company whose shareholders retain the majority interest in a combined business be treated as the acquirer for accounting purposes. Consequently, the stock exchange transaction has been accounted for as a recapitalization of AFMG as AFMG acquired a controlling equity interest in EPTI as of September 15, 2006. The reverse acquisition process utilizes the capital structure of EPTI and the assets and liabilities of AFMG recorded at historical cost. Although AFMG is deemed to be the acquiring corporation for financial accounting and reporting purposes, the legal status of EPTI as the surviving corporation did not change.

Subsequent to completion of the reverse takeover transaction, on October 5, 2006, EPTI changed its name to China Shen Zhou Mining and Resources, Inc.

ACQUISITIONS IN 2006

Qingshan Metal

On April 27, 2006, we completed the acquisition of a 60% ownership interests in Qingshan Nonferrous Metal Development Co., Ltd. (“Qingshan Metal”). Under the terms of the acquisition agreement, Qingshan Metal shareholders received an aggregate consideration of approximately $2.561 million. Qingshan Metal has been granted the mining right certificate for a copper-zinc-lead mine in Wulatehouqi by the Ministry of Land and Resources of the PRC with a current term from October 2005 to October 2008.

We consider the stable and sufficient supply of raw zinc and copper minerals to be one of the critical success factors of Qianzhen Mining’s ore-dressing operations. Qingshan Metal is well established and

owns considerable copper and zinc reserves. Moreover, its location is not far away from Qianzhen Mining. We believe that the acquisition of Qingshan Metal is to the benefit of the Company and the shareholders.

The total purchase consideration of the acquisition is as follows: (in thousands)


Cash	$	1,409
Value of stock payable to the original shareholders of Qingshan Metal*		1,152

Total purchase consideration	$	2,561

The amount of approximately $1.409 million was paid as a down payment in April 2006. The remaining portion of $1.152 was subsequently settled on March 15, 2007 by issuing 284,810 shares of China Shen Zhou’s common shares at a market price of $4 per share.

Xingzhen Mining

On April 28, 2006, we completed the acquisition of an 80% ownership interest in Xingzhen Mining from Mr. Li Leyi. Under the terms of the acquisition agreement, Mr. Li received an aggregate consideration of approximately $3.587 million.

Xingzhen Mining holds the exploration right to the Xinjiang Buejin Kerbulaiker Copper-Zinc Mines, which expired on July 14, 2006. The Kerbulaiker Copper-Xinc Mines is considered by experts to have very considerable quality copper and zinc reserves.

Given the persistent increase in the trading price of nonferrous metals, we believe that the acquisition of Xingzhen Mining will enable the Company to capture golden business opportunities in the future.

As of the date of this report, Xingzhen Mining is in the final process of applying for the extraction rights for the Kerbulaiker Copper-Xinc Mines. We believe that as soon as the extraction rights are issued by the PRC Government, it can commence extraction of copper and zinc ore.

PROPOSED ACQUISITION

Kichi-Chaarat Closed Joint Stock Company (“Kichi-Chaarat”)

On November 6, 2006, Xiangzhen Mining entered into contractual arrangements with Mr. Li Jiaxing and Mr. Huang Guan to appoint Mr. Li and Mr. Huang to acquire the entire ownership of Kichi-Chaarat Closed Joint Stock Company (“Kichi-Chaarat”) for cash consideration of $10,000,000 in aggregate. Mr. Li and Mr. Huang jointly owned Tun Lin Limited Liability Company (“Tun Lin”), which is a Kyrgyz Republic registered company. Pursuant to the arrangements, Tun Lin will acquire the entire ownership in Kichi-Chaarat from Altyn Minerals (BVI) Ltd. Subsequently, Xiangzhen Mining will acquire the entire ownership in Tun Lin. The major asset of Kichi-Chaarat is the subsoil use right for the pupose of (i) mining for gold and other metals within the Kuru-Tegerek licensed area, and (ii) exploration for gold and other metals within the Kuru-Tegerek licensed area. The purchase consideration was fully settled in 2006. However, pursuant to the legal opinion of the Company’s legal consultants in Kyrgyzstan law, the acquisition of Tun Lin “is not deemed to be completed until the transfer has been approved by the Kyrgyz authority and Xiangzhen Mining has been issued a share registration certificate which confers the lawful ownership of Tun Lin to Xiangzhen Mining.” Legal transfer is expected to be completed in the next two or three months.

REVENUES. Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2006 were $22.4 million, representing a $15.4 million or 218.3% increase when compared to 2005. The increase in revenues is mainly attributable to the increase in the trading price of nonferrous metal during 2006. As of December 31, 2004, 2005 and 2006, the closing trading price of the Company’s zinc products was RMB3, 362.83/metric ton, RMB6,194.69/metric ton and RMB19,646.02/metric ton, representing a 84.2% increase in 2005 and 317.1% increase in 2006 when compared with the preceding year.

For the newly acquired subsidiaries in 2006, Qingshan Metal had contributed revenue of approximately $776,000 since acquisition. Xingzhen Mining was still in exploration and research stage as of December 31, 2006, and had yet to generate revenues for the Company.

GROSS PROFIT AND GROSS PROFIT MARGIN. For the year ended December 31, 2006, gross profit was $13.4 million, representing an approximately $10.6 million increase as compared to $2.8 million of 2005. Gross profit margin significantly increased from 39.1% in 2005 to 59.9% in 2006.

The increase in gross profit and gross profit margin was mainly due to the benefits resulting from a supply agreement entered into between Qianzhen Mining and Wulatehouqi Zijin. Pursuant to the agreement, dated December 10, 2005, Wulatehouqi Zijin agreed to supply up to 200,000 metric tons of raw minerals at a fixed price of RMB65/metric ton to Qianzhen Mining in 30 months, at least8,000 metric tons per month. Wulatehouqi Zijin will stop supplying raw minerals to Qianzhen Mining once the terms are completed. Pursuant to the agreement, both parties also agreed that the zinc products of Qianzhen Mining “should be sold to Bayannaoer Zijin at market price”.

Since the trading price of zinc products increased continuously in 2006, and the cost of raw minerals remained constant, gross profit and gross profit margin increased significantly in 2006.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. General and administrative expenses increased $5.4 million to $6.5 million of 2006. The significant increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to (i) common stock bonuses to management with a the fair value was $2.97 million; and (ii) the exploration expenses incurred by Xingzhen Mining of $0.7 million.

REVERSE TAKEOVER COSTS. The charges were related to the granting of shares and option as consultation and service fees to the financial advisors of the reverse takeover transaction completed in September of 2006. The charges are non-cash and non-recurring in nature.

INTEREST EXPENSES. The increase in interest expenses was mainly attributable to the increase in the average loan balance in 2006.

NET INCOME. Net income for the year ended December 31, 2006 was $1.38 million, an increase of $0.31

million or 29% as compared to net income of $1.07 million for 2005. Not taking into account the non-cash equity based payments (i.e. stock based bonuses and reverse takeover costs) of $7.55 million in 2006, the net income of 2006 would be $8.93 million, representing a $7.86 million or 734.6% increase as compared to 2005. The increase was mainly attributable to the contractual arrangement which enabled Qianzhen Mining to trade its zinc products at market price while the cost of raw minerals remained constant.

FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash and cash equivalents were $18.9 million as of December 31, 2006, an increase of $18.6 million as compared to the balance at December 31, 2005 of $0.29 million. The significant improvement in cash position was mainly due to the issuance of $28 million convertible notes in December 2006, net of investment deposits of $11 million paid during 2006.

Net cash provided by operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2006 was $8.7 million, as compared to $1.96 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. The increase in operating cash flows was mainly due to the increases in revenue and gross profits in 2006

Net cash used in investing activities of $17.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 was mainly represented by: (i) the increase in investment deposits of $11 million, $10 million of which was deposits for the acquisition of Kichi-Chaarat, and the remaining $1 million of which was a deposit in an abandoned investment, and (ii) purchase of fixed assets of $5.6 million during 2006.

Net cash provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2006 was $27.1 million, which was mainly due to the proceeds from the issuance of convertible notes.

ENVIRONMENTAL

The Company’s mining and exploration activities are subject to various PRC laws and regulations governing the protection of the environment. These laws and regulations are continually changing and are generally becoming more restrictive. The Company conducts its operations so as to protect the public health and environment and believes its operations are in compliance with applicable laws and regulations in all material respects. The Company’s mining operations are subject to “Natural Resource Compensation Charges”, but the charging rate varies in different cities in the PRC. As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, Natural Resource Compensation Charges of $115,810 and $30,543, respectively, were charged to operations and included in cost of sales. For more information, please see Note 22 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS AND COMMERCIAL COMMITMENTS

Convertible notes

On December 27, 2006, the Company entered into a Notes Purchase Agreement with Citadel Equity Fund Ltd. (“Citadel”), under the terms of which Citadel purchased a total of US$28,000,000 in convertible senor notes (“Notes”). The Notes initially bear interest at 6.75% per annum, which is subject to upward adjustment, are payable semi-annually, and have a maturity of December 27, 2012. Pursuant to the Notes Purchase Agreement, the interest rate may be adjusted upward depending on whether and when we become listed on a national stock exchange in the United States as follows:

(i) If the listing of the Company on any a national stock exchange has occurred on or prior to November 15, 2007 and if the Company maintains such listing, the Notes will bear interest at the rate of 6.75% per annum of the original principal amount of the Notes (i.e., US$28,000,000), from and including November 15, 2007;

(ii) If the listing occurs after November 15, 2007 and if the Company maintains such listing, the Notes will bear interest at the rate of 8.5% per annum of the original principal amount of the Notes, from and including the date of re-listing;

(iii) If the listing has not occurred on or before November 15, 2007 or if the Company is not at that time currently maintaining such listing, the Notes will bear interest at the rate of 10.50% per annum of the original principal amount of the Notes, from and including November 15, 2007, provided that thief the re-listing is achieved, provision (ii) will apply.

The Notes are convertible at the option of the holders, at any time on or prior to maturity, into common shares of the Company. The pre-determined conversion price is $3.20 per share. However, if at any time during the period from August 15, 2007 to September 15, 2007, the 30-day historical weighted average price (each, a “Reference Price”) of the Company’s common stock is less than $2.90 per share, then the conversion price will be adjusted to the lowest Reference Price, but not below $2.00 per share. In addition, in no event shall the number of conversion shares issuable upon conversion of all the outstanding Notes exceed 49.90% of all outstanding shares upon the conversion of all of the outstanding Notes.

The Notes contain a principal accretion feature that increases the redemptions or repurchase price of the Notes. The principal is accreted 5% per annum, on semi-annual basis, such that if the Notes are held to maturity the total accreted principal amount is equal to 130% of the original principal amount. The Company can redeem all of the Notes on or after December 27, 2009, at 110% of the then accreted principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to but excluding the redemption date. In addition, Note holders have rights to request the Company to repurchase the Notes at a price in cash equal to 104% of the then accreted principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption rate if there is a change of control of the Company. In addition, from and after December 27, 2009, Note holders have the right to require the Company to repurchase the Notes for 100% of the then accreted principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date.

Detachable warrants

Together with the issuance of the Notes, the Company issued a put warrant to one of the Company’s financial advisors in the transaction for the purchase of 875,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $3.20 per share, exercisable on or before 3 years from the date of grant. As of December 31, 2006, the fair value of the put warrant is $1,030,000.

Voting Agreement

In connection with the issuance of the Notes, the Company and its major shareholders entered into a Voting Agreement, dated as of December 27, 2006, with Citadel. Pursuant to the Voting Agreement, Citadel will have the right to designate a director on the Company’s board of directors and, in certain circumstances, a second independent director.

Liquidated damages for failure to list

In addition to the increase in interest rate of the Notes, the Company is subject to an additional liquidated damages penalty of $750,000 if it does not complete a listing of its common stock on a U.S. stock exchange (NYSE, AMEX or NASDAQ) by November 15, 2007.

The Notes provide for additional liquidated damages, the conditions of which have so far been met by the Company, relating to (i) appointment of auditors, (ii) hiring of a chief financial officer with experience with U.S publicly listed companies, and (iii) honoring the Note holders’ rights to nominate directors to the board of directors pursuant to the Voting Agreement.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

We have never entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements and have not formed any special purpose entities. We have not guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities or entered into any options on non-financial assets.

INFLATION

The Company does not foresee any adverse effects on its earnings as a result of inflation.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

An accounting policy is considered to be critical if it requires an accounting estimate to be made based on assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time the estimates are made, and if different estimates that reasonable could have been used, or changes in the accounting estimates that are reasonably likely to occur, could materially impact the consolidated financial statements. We believe the following critical accounting policies reflect the more significant estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.

Management believes that the following reflect the more critical accounting policies that currently affect our financial condition and results of operations.

Property, Plant and Mine Development

Expenditures for new facilities or equipment and expenditures that extend the useful lives of existing facilities or equipment are capitalized and depreciated using the straight-line method at rates sufficient to depreciate such costs over the estimated productive lives, which do not exceed the related estimated mine lives, of such facilities based on proven and probable reserves.

Mineral exploration costs are expensed as incurred. When it has been determined that a mineral property can be economically developed as a result of establishing proven and probable reserves, costs incurred prospectively to develop the property are capitalized as incurred and are amortized using the units-of-production (“UOP”) method over the estimated life of the ore body based on estimated recoverable ounces or pounds in proven and probable reserves. At the Company’s surface mines, these costs include costs to further delineate the ore body and remove overburden to initially expose the ore body. At the Company’s underground mines, these costs include the cost of building access ways, shaft sinking and access, lateral development, drift development, ramps and infrastructure development.

Major development costs incurred after the commencement of production are amortized using the UOP method based on estimated recoverable ounces or pounds in proven and probable reserves. To the extent that these costs benefit the entire ore body, they are amortized over the estimated life of the ore body. Costs incurred to access specific ore blocks or areas that only provide benefit over the life of that area are amortized over the estimated life of that specific ore block or area.

Interest cost allocable to the cost of developing mining properties and to constructing new facilities, if any, is capitalized until assets are ready for their intended use.

Asset Impairment

Long-lived Assets

The Company reviews and evaluates its long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable. An impairment is considered to exist if the total estimated future cash flows on an undiscounted basis are less than the carrying amount of the assets, including goodwill, if any. An impairment loss is measured and recorded based on discounted estimated future cash flows. Future cash flows are estimated based on quantities of recoverable metals, corresponding expected commodity prices (considering current and historical prices, price trends and related factors), production levels and operating costs of production and capital, all based on life-of-mine plans. Existing proven and probable reserves and value beyond proven and probable reserves are included when determining the fair value of mine site reporting units at acquisition and, subsequently, in determining whether the assets are impaired. The term “recoverable metals” refers to the estimated amount of gold or other commodities that will be obtained after taking into account losses during ore processing and treatment. Estimates of recoverable metals from such exploration stage metal interests are risk adjusted based on management’s relative confidence in such materials. In estimating future cash flows, assets are grouped at the lowest level for which there are identifiable cash flows that are largely independent of future cash flows from other asset groups. The Company’s estimates of future cash flows are based on numerous assumptions and it is possible that actual future cash flows will be significantly different than the estimates, as actual future quantities of recoverable metals, gold and other commodity prices, production levels and operating costs of production and capital are each subject to significant risks and uncertainties.

Goodwill

The Company evaluates, on at least an annual basis, the carrying amount of goodwill to determine whether current events and circumstances indicate that such carrying amount may no longer be recoverable. To accomplish this, the Company compares the estimated fair value of its reporting units to their carrying amounts. If the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value, the Company compares the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill to its carrying amount, and any excess of the carrying value over the fair value is charged to earnings. The Company’s fair value estimates are based on numerous assumptions and it is possible that actual fair value will be significantly different than the estimates, as actual future quantities of recoverable minerals, gold and other commodity prices, production levels and operating costs of production and capital are each subject to significant risks and uncertainties.

Stock Based Compensation

On December 16, 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment”, which replaces SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” SFAS No. 123R requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on the grant date fair value of the award. SFAS No. 123R was to be effective for interim or annual reporting periods beginning on or after June 15, 2005, but in April 2005 the SEC issued a rule that will permit most registrants to implement SFAS No. 123R at the beginning of their next fiscal year, instead of the next reporting period as required by SFAS No. 123R. The pro forma disclosures previously permitted under SFAS No. 123 no longer will be an alternative to financial statement recognition. Under SFAS No. 123R, the Company must determine the appropriate fair value model to be used for valuing share-based payments, the amortization method for compensation cost and the transition method to be used at date of adoption. The transition methods include prospective and retroactive adoption options. Under the retroactive option, prior periods may be restated either as of the beginning of the year of adoption or for all periods presented. The prospective method requires that compensation expense be recorded for all unvested stock options and restricted stock at the beginning of the first quarter of adoption of SFAS No. 123R, while the retroactive methods would record compensation expense for all unvested stock options and restricted stock beginning with the first period restated. The Company has adopted the requirements of SFAS No. 123R for the fiscal

year beginning on January 1, 2006, and recorded the compensation expense for all unvested stock options existing prior to the adoption during the period.

Recent accounting pronouncements

On January 1, 2006, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment- Revised 2004,” using the modified prospective transition method.

In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (FIN 48). This interpretation prescribes a minimum recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. This interpretation also provides guidance on recognition, measurement, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. The interpretation is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006 (i.e., the beginning of our fiscal year 2007). We do not expect that the adoption of FIN 48 will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (SFAS 157). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value instruments. SFAS 157 does not require any new fair value measurements, but applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 (our fiscal 2008). We believe that implementation of SFAS 157 will have little or no impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans — an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R)” (SFAS 158). SFAS 158 requires plan sponsors of defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit plans (collectively, “postretirement benefit plans”) to fully recognize the funded status of their postretirement benefit plans in the statement of financial position, measure the fair value of plan assets and benefit obligations as of the date of the fiscal year-end statement of financial position and provide additional disclosures. We believe that implementation of SFAS 157 will have little or no impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements since we have no applicable plans,.

In September 2006, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements (SAB 108), to address diversity in practice in quantifying financial statement misstatements. SAB 108 requires that we quantify misstatements based on their impact on each of our financial statements and related disclosures. On December 30, 2006, we adopted SAB 108. Our adoption of SAB 108 did not impact our financial statements.

CONCENTRATION OF CUSTOMERS AND SUPPLIERS

During the year 2006, Wulatehouqi Zijin was the only supplier of Qianzhen Mining’s raw minerals. Bayannaoer Zijin Nonferrous Metal Co., Ltd. (“Bayannaoer Zijin”, a related company of Wulatehouqi Zijin) was one of the major customers of Qianzhen Mining which contributed approximately $5,690,000 or 25.4% of the Company’s consolidated net turnover. In addition to the aforementioned, our nonferrous metal product business had another significant customer which accounted for approximately $7,907,000 or 35.3% of our consolidated net turnover in 2006.

ITEM 8.

CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE.

On February 27, 2007, the services of Chisholm, Bierwolf & Nilson, LLC (“Chisholm”), the firm that audited the financial statements of Earth Products & Technologies, Inc. (as the Company’s name before it was changed to China Shen Zhou Mining & Resources, Inc. for the year ended December 31, 2005, and e-Fang Accountancy Corp. (“e-Fang”), which had previously been engaged as the independent accounting firm for the Company’s subsidiary, American Federal Mining Group, Inc. (“AFMG”), an Illinois corporation, and its subsidiaries (which were acquired in a reverse acquisition in 2006), were dismissed by the Company, due to the engagement of the new auditors, as described below.

Effective February 27, 2007, the Company engaged Grobstein, Horwath & Company, LLP (“Horwath”), as its independent registered accounting firm to audit the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006.

Chisholm performed audits of the Company’s financial statements for each of the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004. Their audit reports did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles. e-Fang has performed audit work for the Company’s subsidiary, AFMG and its subsidiaries. e-Fang also provided audit work in connection with the Company’s quarterly report on Form 10-QSB for the quarter ended September 30, 2006.

During the two-year period ended December 31, 2005, and from that date through the date of this Report, there have been no disagreements between the Company and Chisholm on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which would have caused Chisholm to make reference to the subject matter of such disagreements in connection with their reports for each of the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004. Similarly, during the two-year period ended December 31, 2005, and from that date through the date of this Report, there have been no disagreements between the Company or its subsidiaries, as applicable, and e-Fang on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which would have caused e-Fang to make reference to the subject matter of such disagreements in connection with their reports for each of the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004. In connection with its audits for each of the fiscal years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, and through the date of this Report, there were no reportable events (as defined in Regulation S-B Item 304(a)(1)(iv)(B)).

During the two most recent fiscal years and through the date hereof, neither the Company nor any one on behalf of the Company has consulted with Horwath regarding the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements, or any other matters required to be disclosed under Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-B.

ITEM 8A.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting and for the assessment of the effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting. The Company's internal control system over financial reporting is a process designed under the supervision of the Company's chief executive officer and chief financial officer to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”).

All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can only provide reasonable assurances with respect to financial

-37-

statement preparation and presentation. In addition, any evaluation of effectiveness for future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions in the future.

As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act. This evaluation was done under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer. To make this assessment, we used the criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting described in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treasury Commission. Based on their evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that during the period covered by this report, such disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to detect the inappropriate application of U.S. GAAP as more fully described below. This was due to deficiencies that existed in the design or operation of our internal control over financial reporting that adversely affected our disclosure controls and that may be considered “material weaknesses”. The Public Company Accounting Oversight Board has defined a material weakness as a “significant deficiency or combination of significant deficiencies that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected.”

We identified significant deficiencies in our internal controls and disclosure controls related to the application of U.S. GAAP in adopting an inappropriate period to depreciate and amortize property, plant and equipment, including extraction and exploration rights; failure to provide for an allowance for doubtful accounts in accordance with the Company’s policy; inappropriate capitalization of exploration expenses; and inappropriate classification of balance sheet and income statement balances. These deficiencies, when taken together, resulted in a conclusion that the Company’s controls suffered from a material weakness.

Because of the identification of the misapplication of U.S. GAAP, our management has concluded that, as of December 31, 2006, our internal controls over financial reporting were not effective.

Remediation of Material Weaknesses

We have started to formulate a program which we believe will remedy the material weaknesses described above.

We have appointed a new Chief Financial Officer who is more experienced in U.S. GAAP. We are reviewing and revising our internal accounting policies and procedures, increasing the training of our accounting personnel in the application of U.S. GAAP, and, as appropriate, expanding the resources allocated to our accounting department, including hiring new personnel experienced in the financial reporting and the financial control function.

We also expect to review and, as appropriate, revise our accounting and management information systems software. We also expect to increase the areas to be reviewed and discussed with the board of directors.

We will continue these efforts until we are satisfied that all “material weaknesses” have been eliminated. We expect that resolution of all of these issues will take several months.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Except as set forth above, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended December 31, 2006 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

OTHER INFORMATION.

Entry into Material Agreement.

On November 6, 2006, Inner Mongolia Xiangzhen Mining Group, Ltd. (“Xingzhen”) entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with Mr. Li Jiaxing and Mr. Huang Guan. Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement Xiangzhen appointed Mr. Li and Mr. Huang to acquire the entire ownership of Kichi-Chaarat Closed Joint Stock Company, a Kyrgyz Republic registered company (“Kichi-Chaarat”) at a cash consideration of $10,000,000 in aggregate. Mr. Li and Mr. Huang jointly owned Tun Lin Limited Liability Company (“Tun Lin”), a Kyrgyz Republic registered company. Pursuant to the arrangements, Tun Lin will acquire the entire ownership in Kichi-Chaarat from Altyn Minerals (BVI) Ltd. Subsequently, Xiangzhen Mining will acquire the entire ownership in Tun Lin. The major asset of Kichi-Chaarat is the subsoil use right for the purpose of (i) mining for gold and other metals within the Kuru-Tegerek licensed area, and (ii) exploration for gold and other metals within the Kuru-Tegerek licensed area. The purchase consideration for the acquisitions was fully settled in 2006. However, pursuant to the legal opinion of the Company’s legal consultants in Kyrgyzstan law, the acquisition of Tun Lin “is not deemed to have completed until the transfer has been approved by the Kyrgyz authority and Xiangzhen Mining has been issued a share registration certificate which confers the lawful ownership of Tun Lin to Xiangzhen Mining. The Company expects that completion of the legal transfer will take two or three months. A copy of the Stock Purchase Agreement was filed as an exhibit to the original version of this Form 10-KSB filed on April 27, 2007.

Code of Ethics

We have adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (the “Code”) that is applicable to all employees, consultants and members of the Board of Directors, including the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Secretary. This Code embodies our commitment to conduct business in accordance with the highest ethical standards and applicable laws, rules and regulations. We will provide any person a copy of the Code, without charge, upon written request to the Company’s Secretary. Requests should be addressed in writing to: Dang Yu, Secretary China Shen Zhou Mining & Resources, Inc., No. 166 Fushi Road, Zeyang Tower, Suite 305, Shijingshan District, Beijing, China 100043.

Director Nominees Recommended by Stockholders

We have not implemented any changes to the procedures by which stockholders may recommend nominees to our board of directors since we last disclosed those procedures in our most recent proxy statement.

Board Composition; Audit Committee and Financial Expert

Our Board of Directors is currently composed of six members: Xiaojing Yu, Xuming Xu, Helin Cui, Youming Yang, Jian Zhang, and Feng Bai. All board actions require the approval of a majority of the directors in attendance at a meeting at which a quorum is present.

We currently do not have an audit committee. We intend, however, to establish an audit committee of the board of directors as soon as practicable. We envision that the audit committee will be primarily responsible for reviewing the services performed by our independent auditors, evaluating our accounting policies and our system of internal controls.

The Board has determined that Feng Bai qualifies as a “financial expert” as defined by SEC rules implementing Section 407 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Mr. Bai meets the definition of an “independent” director set forth in Section 121of the Amex Company Guide, which is the independence standard that we have chosen to report under.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting firm

To the Stockholders and Board of Directors of China Shen Zhou Mining & Resources, Inc. and Subsidiaries

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of China Shen Zhou Mining & Resources, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2006 and 2005 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and comprehensive income and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2006. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of China Shen Zhou Mining & Resources, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2006 in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTE 2

RECAPITALIZATION AND REORGANIZATION

On July 14, 2006, Earth Products & Technologies, Inc. (“EPTI”) completed the terms of a stock exchange agreement with AFMG. Pursuant to the stock exchange agreement, EPTI issued 20,000,000 shares of its common stock, of which 17,687,000 shares were issued to shareholders of AFMG, 1,013,000 shares to management of AFMG and 1,300,000 shares to the financial advisors of AFMG, in exchange for a 100% equity interest in AFMG, making AFMG a wholly-owned subsidiary of EPTI.

EPTI was incorporated in Nevada in 1986 under the name of Mainstay Investments, Inc. From 1997 to 1998 EPTI attempted to develop technologies to remove or reduce pollutants. In January 1999, EPTI divested all of the operations and became inactive.

The above stock exchange transaction resulted in the shareholders of AFMG obtaining a majority voting interest in EPTI. Generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America require that the Company whose shareholders retain the majority interest in a combined business be treated as the acquirer for accounting purposes. Consequently, the stock exchange transaction has been accounted for as a recapitalization of AFMG as AFMG acquired a controlling equity interest in EPTI as of September 15, 2006. The reverse acquisition process utilizes the capital structure of EPTI and the assets and liabilities of AFMG recorded at historical cost.

AFMG is the continuing operating entity for financial reporting purposes, and the financial statements prior to September 15, 2006 represent AFMG’s financial position and results of operations. As of the date of reverse takeover, the only asset of EPTI was cash amounting to $531, with 1,297,700 shares of common stock outstanding. Although AFMG is deemed to be the acquiring corporation for financial accounting and reporting purposes, the legal status of EPTI as the surviving corporation did not change.

Subsequent to completion of the reverse takeover transaction, on October 5, 2006, EPTI changed its name to China Shen Zhou Mining and Resources, Inc.

NOTE 3

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Use of Estimates

The Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The more significant areas requiring the use of management estimates and assumptions relate to mineral reserves that are the basis for future cash flow estimates utilized in impairment calculations and units-of-production depreciation, depletion and amortization calculations; estimates of fair value for certain reporting units and asset impairments (including impairments of goodwill, long-lived assets and investments); write-downs of inventory to net realizable value; reserves for contingencies and litigation; and the fair value and accounting treatment of financial instruments. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Accordingly, actual results may differ significantly from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Principles of Consolidation

The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of China Shen Zhou Mining & Resources, Inc. and more-than-50%-owned subsidiaries that it controls and entities over which control is achieved through means other than voting rights (see Note 2). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The functional currency for the majority of the Company’s operations is the Renminbi (“RMB”).

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of all cash balances and highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less. Because of the short maturity of these investments, the carrying amounts approximate their fair value. Restricted cash is excluded from cash and cash equivalents and is included in other current and long-term assets.

Available-for-sale investments

The Company accounts for its investments in auction rate securities in accordance with FAS No. 115. Specifically, when the underlying security of an auction rate security has a stated or contractual maturity date in excess of 90 days, regardless of the frequency of the interest rate reset date, the security is classified as an available-for-sale marketable debt security.

Accounts receivable

Accounts receivable is stated at cost, net of allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company provides for an allowance for doubtful accounts for those third party trade accounts that are not collected within one year.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, determined on a weighted average basis, or net realizable value. Costs of work-in-progress and finished goods are composed of direct materials, direct labor and an attributable portion of manufacturing overhead. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price, in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs to complete and dispose. The Company has provided an inventory reserve.

Property, plant and mining assets

Mineral exploration costs are expensed according to the term of license granted to the Company. Extraction rights are stated at the lower of cost and recoverable amount. When it has been determined that a mineral property can be economically developed as a result of establishing proven and probable reserves, extraction rights and other costs incurred prospectively to develop the property are capitalized as incurred, and are amortized using the units-of-production (“UOP”) method over the estimated life of the ore body based on estimated recoverable volume in proven and probable reserves. At the Company’s surface mines, these costs include costs to further delineate the ore body and remove overburden to initially expose the ore body. At the Company’s underground mines, these costs include the cost of building access ways, shaft sinking and access, lateral development, drift development, ramps and infrastructure development.

Major development costs incurred after the commencement of production are amortized using the UOP method based on estimated recoverable volume in proven and probable reserves. To the extent that these costs benefit the entire ore body, they are amortized over the estimated life of the ore body. Costs incurred to access specific ore blocks or areas that only provide benefit over the life of that area are amortized over the estimated life of that specific ore block or area. Interest cost allocable to the cost of developing mining properties and to constructing new facilities, if any, is capitalized until assets are ready for their intended use.

Land use rights are stated at cost, less accumulated amortization. Amortization is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of 25 years.

To summarize, the Company’s depreciation and amortization policies on fixed assets are as follows:


	Useful Life
	(In years)
Land use rights	25
Buildings	25
Machinery	12
Mining assets	UOP
Motor vehicle	6
Equipment	5
Extraction rights	UOP
Exploration rights	License term
Construction in progress	Nil

Stripping Costs

Stripping costs are costs of removing overburden and other mine waste materials. Stripping costs incurred during the production phase of a mine are variable production costs that are included as a component of inventory to be recognized in cost of sales in the same period as the revenue from the sale of inventory.

Asset Impairment

(a) Long-lived Assets

The Company reviews and evaluates its long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable. An impairment is considered to exist if the total estimated future cash flows on an undiscounted basis are less than the carrying amount of the assets, including goodwill, if any. An impairment loss is measured and recorded based on discounted estimated future cash flows. Future cash flows are estimated based on quantities of recoverable metals, corresponding expected commodity prices (considering current and historical prices, price trends and related factors), production levels and operating costs of production and capital, all based on life-of-mine plans. Existing proven and probable reserves and value beyond proven and probable reserves are included when determining the fair value of mine site reporting units at acquisition and, subsequently, in determining whether the assets are impaired. The term “recoverable metals” refers to the estimated amount of metals that will be obtained after taking into account losses during ore processing and treatment. Estimates of recoverable metals from such exploration stage metal interests are risk adjusted based on management’s relative confidence in such materials. In estimating future cash flows, assets are grouped at the lowest level for which there are identifiable cash flows that are largely independent of future cash flows from other asset groups. The Company’s estimates of future cash flows are based on numerous assumptions and it is possible that actual future cash flows will be significantly different than the estimates, as actual future quantities of recoverable metals prices, production levels and operating costs of production and capital are each subject to significant risks and uncertainties.

(b) Goodwill

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized, net of PRC business taxes, and treatment and refining charges, from a sale when the price is determinable, the product has been delivered, the title has been transferred to the customer and collection of the sales price is probable. Revenues from by-product sales are credited to costs applicable to sales as a by-product credit.

Income and Mining Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes using the liability method, recognizing certain temporary differences between the financial reporting basis of the Company’s liabilities and assets and the related income tax basis for such liabilities and assets. This method generates either a net deferred income tax liability or asset for the Company, as measured by the statutory tax rates in effect. The Company derives its deferred income tax charge or benefit by recording the change in either the net deferred income tax liability or asset balance for the year. Mining taxes represent PRC taxes levied on mining operations and are classified as cost of sales, as such taxes are based on a percentage of mining output.

The Company’s deferred income tax assets include certain future tax benefits. The Company records a valuation allowance against any portion of those deferred income tax assets when it believes, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred income tax asset will not be realized.

Transportation charges

Transportation charges represent costs to deliver the Company’s inventory to point of sale. Transportation costs are expensed and charged to cost of sales as incurred

Foreign Currency

On July 21, 2005, the People’s Bank of China announced an upward adjustment in the Renminbi (“RMB”) exchange rate against the U.S. dollar of 2%. Subsequently, the exchange rate of the Renminbi will be valued against a number of currencies, rather than just exclusively to the United States dollar.

The functional currency of the Company is the Chinese Renminbi. However, the Company reports in U.S. dollars. The financial statements of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries have been translated into U.S. dollars in accordance with SFAS No. 52, “Foreign Currency Translation”. All asset and liability accounts have been translated using the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date. Equity accounts have been translated at their historical exchange rates when the capital transaction occurred. Statements of Operations amounts have been translated using the average exchange rate for the year.

At December 31, 2006, the revenues and expenses of the Company were translated to U.S. dollars at US$1.00 = RMB7.958 and the assets and liabilities of the Company maintained in Renminbi translated to U.S. dollars at US$1.00 = RMB7.808. At December 31, 2005, the revenues and expenses of the Company were translated to U.S. dollars at US$1.00 = RMB8.2402 and the assets and liabilities of the Company maintained in Renminbi translated to U.S. dollars at US$1.00 = RMB8.1807. For the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, a foreign currency translation adjustment of approximately $75,000 and $557,000, respectively, has been reported as comprehensive income in the consolidated statement of stockholders’ equity and comprehensive income.

Although the Chinese government regulations now allow convertibility of RMB for current account transactions, significant restrictions still remain. Hence, such translations should not be construed as representations that RMB could be converted into U.S. dollars at that rate or any other rate.

The value of RMB against U.S. dollars and other currencies may fluctuate and is affected by, among other things, changes in China’s political and economic conditions. Any significant revaluation of RMB may materially affect our financial condition in terms of U.S. dollar reporting.

Stock Based Compensation

Net income per common share

Basic and diluted earnings per share are presented for net income and for income from continuing operations. Basicearnings per share is computed by dividing Net income by the weighted-average number of outstanding common shares for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts that may require the issuance of common shares in the future were converted. Diluted earnings per share is computed by increasing the weighted-average number of outstanding common shares to include the additional common shares that would be outstanding after conversion and adjusting net income for changes that would result from the conversion. Only those securities or other contracts that result in a reduction in earnings per share are included in the calculation.

Fair value of financial instruments

The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, cash, available-for-sale securities, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, bank loan payable, notes payable, current portion of long term debt, long term debt approximate fair value.

Comprehensive Income

SFAS No.130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income,” establishes standards for reporting and displaying comprehensive income and its components in the consolidated financial statements. Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) includes foreign currency translation adjustments. Total comprehensive income for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 was $1,321,000 and $75,000, respectively.

Recent accounting pronouncements

On January 1, 2006, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment- Revised 2004,” using the modified prospective transition method.

NOTE 4

WRITE-DOWN OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

During 2006, the Company has abandoned various low-yield assets to reallocate its cash flows for better opportunities. The carrying value of abandoned mining assets and respective land use rights being written-down and charged to cost of sales for the year then ended was approximately $454,918.

As of December 31, 2006, the Company’s deferred income tax assets mainly arose from the temporary difference in depreciation and amortization under PRC GAAP and U.S. GAAP.

NOTE 7

EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted income per common share is computed similarly to basic income per common share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potentially dilutive common shares had been issued.

The following table is a reconciliation of the weighted average shares used in the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the periods presented (amounts in thousands, except per share data):


	Years ended December 31,
	2006		2005

Income available to common shareholders:
- Basic	$	1,380	$	1,073
- Increase for interest expense on convertible notes		37		-
- Diluted	$	1,417	$	1,073

Weighted average number of shares:
- Basic		18,735		17,687
- Increase in number of shares if the convertible notes were converted into common shares		8,750		-
- Diluted		27,485		17,687

Earnings per share
- Basic	$	0.07	$	0.06

- Diluted	$	0.05	$	0.06

Given that the closing price of the Company’s shares as at December 31, 2006 was $2.95, the conversion price of $3.20 of the options and warrants would be considered as not in the money and anti-dilutive, and therefore excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share.

NOTE 8

ACQUISITIONS

Qingshan Metal

On April 27, 2006, we completed the acquisition of a 60% ownership interest in Qingshan Metal. Under the terms of the acquisition agreement, Qingshan Metal shareholders received an aggregate consideration of approximately $2.561 million. Qingshan Metal has been granted the mining right certificate for a copper-zinc-lead mine in Wulatehouqi by the Ministry of Land and Resources of the PRC with a current term from October 2005 to October 2008.

Management of the Company considered that stable and sufficient supply of raw zinc and copper minerals as one of the critical success factors of Qianzhen Mining’s ore-dressing operations. Qingshan Metal is well established and owns considerable copper and zinc reserves. Moreover, its location is not far away from Qianzhen Mining. We believe that the acquisition of Qingshan Metal is to the benefit of the Company and the shareholders.

The total purchase consideration of the merger is as follows: (in thousands)


Cash	$	1,409
Value of stock payable to the original shareholders of Qingshan Metal*		1,152

(a) On November 6, 2006, Xiangzhen Mining entered into contractual arrangements with Mr. Li Jiaxing and Mr. Huang Guan to appoint Mr. Li and Mr. Huang to acquire the entire ownership of Kichi-Chaarat Closed Joint Stock Company (“Kichi-Chaarat”) at a cash consideration of $10,000,000 in aggregate. Mr. Li and Mr. Huang jointly owned Tun Lin Limited Liability Company (“Tun Lin”), which is a Kyrgyz Republic registered company. Pursuant to the arrangements, Tun Lin will acquire the entire ownership in Kichi-Chaarat from Altyn Minerals (BVI) Ltd. Subsequently, Xiangzhen Mining will acquire the entire ownership in Tun Lin. The major asset of Kichi-Chaarat is the subsoil use right for (i) mining for gold and other metals within the Kuru-Tegerek licensed area; and (ii) exploration for gold and other metals within the Kuru-Tegerek licensed area. The purchase consideration was fully settled in 2006. However, pursuant to the legal opinion of the Company’s legal consultants in Kyrgyzstan law, the acquisition of Tun Lin “is not deemed to have been completed until the transfer has been approved by the Kyrgyz authority and Xiangzhen Mining has been issued a share registration certificate which confers the lawful ownership of Tun Lin to Xiangzhen Mining.”

(b) On June 6 2006, the Company entered into an agreement with Mr. Xu Zhong Guo to acquire 70% ownership in exploration rights of Qinghai Menyuan Xian Yikeshu hard coal mine. Under the terms of the acquisition agreement, Mr. Xu was required to transfer the exploration rights to one of our subsidiaries by not later than July 2006. In return, Mr. Xu would be entitled to receive an aggregate consideration of approximately $1.025 million in cash and $1.537 million worth of our common stock, totalling approximately $2.562 million upon the completion of the transaction. As required by the agreement, the Company had partially deposited $1.025 million cash to Mr. Xu in September 2006.

Since Mr. Xu cannot honor the agreement to transfer the exploration rights to one of our subsidiaries before the deadline, both parties agreed to terminate the agreement. Pursuant to the cancellation agreement entered into between the Company and Mr. Xu on March 25, 2007, the acquisition was abandoned and Mr. Xu returned the $1.025 million deposit to us on April 11, 2007.

Security of fixed assets to bank loans

As of the year-end date, buildings of $2,078,062 and machinery of $2,086,501 have been pledged as collateral for the bank borrowings. (See Note 18 below)

Exploration and extraction rights

As in most jurisdictions, mineral rights in China are divided into two types: extraction rights and exploration rights. Extraction rights refer to the rights obtained in accordance with the law for exploitation of mineral resources and market control of mineral products. In nearly every jurisdiction in the world, mineral rights are absolutely exclusive. In China, however, there are no clear stipulations regarding the exclusivity of mineral rights. The Amendment of China Mining Regulation stressed the security of mineral rights and its Article 6 stated that “upon discovery of mineral resources, the exploration licensees have the privileged priority to obtain mining rights to the mineral resources within the exploration area.” According to the Ministry of Land and Resources, this privileged priority will be guaranteed under further amendments to be made in the near future.

Exploration rights refer to the right obtained in accordance with the law for exploring for mineral resources within the areas authorized by the exploration license. The Company has been granted mineral exploration permits. These exploration rights enable the Company to explore selected prospective mines for possible economic value to mine and develop. Under Chinese mining laws and regulations, generally an exploration license is valid for no more than 3 years and extension of the exploration license shall not exceed two years and two extensions.

The fair market price of the Company’s stock on that date, based on the valuation report issued by a professional valuation firm, was $2.9335 per share. Accordingly, the fair value of reverse takeover costs of $2,971,636 was charged as reverse takeover costs, and the fair value of the bonus payment to management of $3,813,550 were charged to general and administration expenses for the year ended December 31, 2006.

The principal assumption used to value these complex freestanding financial instruments was as follows:


	Embedded Conversion Feature
Expected life (in years)	3 years
Expected volatility	60.12%
Risk-free interest rate	4.63%
Dividend yield	Nil

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

General

The Company follows FAS No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies,” in determining its accruals and disclosures with respect to loss contingencies. Accordingly, estimated losses from loss contingencies are accrued by a charge to income when information available prior to issuance of the financial statements indicates that it is probable that a liability could be been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Legal expenses associated with the contingency are expensed as incurred. If a loss contingency is not probable or reasonably estimable, disclosure of the loss contingency is made in the financial statements when it is at least reasonably possible that a material loss could be incurred.

Mining industry in PRC

The Company's mining operations are and will be subject to extensive national and local governmental regulations in the China, which regulations may be revised or expanded at any time. A broad number of matters are subject to regulation. Generally, compliance with these regulations requires the Company to obtain permits issued by government, state and local regulatory agencies. Certain permits require periodic renewal or review of their conditions. The Company cannot predict whether it will be able to obtain or renew such permits or whether material changes in permit conditions will be imposed. The inability to obtain or renew permits or the imposition of additional conditions could have a material adverse effect on the Company's ability to develop and operate its properties.

Environmental matters

Environmental laws and regulations to which the Company is subject as it progresses from the development stage to the production stage mandate additional concerns and requirements of the Company. Failure to comply with applicable laws, regulations and permits can result in injunctive actions, damages and civil and criminal penalties. The laws and regulations applicable to the Company's activities change frequently and it is not possible to predict the potential impact on the Company from any such future changes.

Although management believes that the Company is in material compliance with the statutes, laws, rules and regulations of every jurisdiction in which it operates, no assurance can be given that the Company’s compliance with the applicable statutes, laws, rules and regulations will not be challenged by governing authorities or private parties, or that such challenges will not lead to material adverse effects on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

The Company is not involved in any legal matters arising in the normal course of business. While incapable of estimation, in the opinion of the management, the individual regulatory and legal matters in which it might be involved in the future are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
