We disclaim any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Explanatory Note

This Amendment No. 1 to our Current Report on Form 8K initially filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 15, 2006 is being filed to correct/update the financial statements, business description and certain other information about China Shen Zhou Mining & Resources, Inc.

Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

On September 15, 2006, Earth Products & Technologies, Inc. (“EPAT” or the “Company”) consummated the terms of a Stock Exchange Agreement dated July 14, 2006 (the “Exchange Agreement”) with American Federal Mining Group, Inc., an Illinois company (hereinafter “AFMG”), and the shareholders of AFMG (the “AFMG Shareholders”). As a result of the transaction, EPAT issued a total of 20,000,000 shares of common stock to the shareholders of AFMG, in exchange for 100% of AFMG’s outstanding 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 merger with AFMG deemed the accounting acquirer and the Company 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. For purposes of this Form 8-K report, Qianzhen Mining, Xiangzhen Mining, and Tianzhen Mining are referred to as the “Subsidiaries.”

Effective October 20, 2006, EPAT changed its name to China Shen Zhou Mining & Resources, Inc.

(b) The Registrant is using Alternative 3 in Form 10SB. The Item references below are to the items in Form 10SB

Description of Business

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 the subsidiaries of China Shen Zhou Mining & Resources, Inc. 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 government 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.

RISKFACTORS

An investment in our common stock is speculative and involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below and the other information in this 8-K/A before purchasing any of our common stock. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties may also adversely impair our business operations. If any of the events described in the risk factors below actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could suffer significantly. In such case, the value of your investment could decline and you may lose all or part of the money you paid to buy our common stock.

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 permits 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 Fund 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 metal 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 15, 2006 to July 13, 2007, our trading volume has been very low and inconsistent, ranging from no trading at all to a high of 56,500 shares. During the same period, the high sale price was $9.00 and the low sale price was $1.50. 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 July 13, 2007, the closing price was $3.63 .

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 mining 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 our 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 72.47% 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.

BUSINESS OF THE COMPANY

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.

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.

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 increased 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:

Qianzhen Mining	Engage mainly in the processing of zinc-lead ore
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.

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 an 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 by the end of 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 for 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 from 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

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, Xinjiang 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 Xinjiang Bureau of Land and Resources by the end of 2007. 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 for 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.

Allocation of initial purchase consideration (in thousands):



Net assets of Qingshan Metal as of April 12, 2006:

Extraction rights	$	1,149
Inventories		132
Property, plant and mining assets, net		457
Other current assets		90

Net assets	$	1,828

Total purchase consideration		2,561

Goodwill	$	1,001

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 Mine, which expired on July 14, 2006. The Kerbulaiker Copper-Xinc Mine is considered by experts to have quality copper and zinc reserves.

Given the continued increase in the trading price of nonferrous metals, we believe that the acquisition of Xingzhen Mining will enable the Company to capture 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.

The total purchase price and the allocation of the purchase price discussed below. The total purchase price of the acquisition is as follows: (in thousands)



Cash	$	1,025
Value of stock payable to Mr. Li		2,561

Total purchase consideration	$	3,586

Approximately $1.025 million was paid in cash as of September 30, 2006. The remaining portion of $2.561 million was subsequently settled on March 15, 2007 by issuing 632,910 shares of China Shen Zhou’s common shares at a market price of $4 per share.

Allocation of initial purchase consideration (in thousands):


Net assets of Xingzhen Mining as of April 28, 2006:

	2006		2005
	(in thousands)		(in thousands)

Net revenue	$	7,657	$	2,867
Gross profit		4,694		577
- Gross profit margin		61.2%		20.1%
General and administrative expenses		773		495
Interest expense		129		161
Net income	$	3,725	$	17

NET REVENUE. As a result of capital investments in Inner Mongolia Wulatehouqi Qianzhen Ore-Processing Co., Ltd (“Qianzhen”), the processing capacity of nonferrous metals and ore dressing increased significantly. The amount of for refined zinc powder produced for the six month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 were, 4,600 tons and 6,400 tons, respectively, representing a 38 % increase. Other than improved production capacity, the average market price of refined zinc powder in PR China increased from $600 per ton to $1730 per ton representing a 188% increase. The additional capacity and the market price increase for refined zinc powder together contributed to the increase of net revenue by approximately $4.8 million, representing a 167.7% increase

GROSS PROFIT AND GROSS PROFIT MARGIN. For the six months ended June 30, 2006, gross profit was $4.7 million, representing an increase of approximately $4.1 million as compared to $0.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005. Gross profit increase was primarily due to the significant increase in production quantity as mentioned above. As the production quantity increased, by achieving economy of scale, gross profit increased significantly. Gross profit margin increased by 40.1% to 61.2% for the six months end June 30, 2006, as compared to the same period of 2005 due mainly to the increased market price of refined zinc powder, which increased approximately 188%.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. General and administrative expenses increased by $0.3 million to approximately $0.77 million for the six months ended June 30 2006 as compared to the same period of 2005. The increase in the production and sales activities caused an increase in the Company’s administrative expenses. The increase was mainly attributable to the increased staffing cost and consulting fees associated with corporate restructure and reverse takeover transactions.

INTEREST EXPENSE. The interest expense decreased from $161,000 to $129,000, representing a 20% decrease, which was mainly due to the repayment of short term bank loans.

NET INCOME. Net profit for the six months ended June 30, 2006 was $3.7 million, whereas net profit for the corresponding period of 2005 was only $0.017 million. The increase in net income was primarily due to i) increased gross profit of $4.7 million associated with the improved refined zinc powder sales and profitability, ii) the decrease in interest expenses as a result of the repayment of short term bank loans.

Comparison of Year Ended on December 31, 2005 and 2004:

Selected information from the Consolidated Statements of Operations



	Year ended December 31,
	2005		2004
	(in thousands)		(in thousands)

Net revenue	$	7,047	$	5,054
Gross profit		2,755		1,640
- Gross profit margin		39.1%		32.4%
General and administrative expenses		1,129		721
Interest expense		320		147
Net income	$	1,073	$	805

NET REVENUE. Net revenue increased 39.4% from $5.05 million to $7.05 million. This increase was mainly attributable to an average market price increase of zinc powder of 55% from $560 per ton in 2004 to $870 in 2005, as well as a slight increase of 7.4% in the amount of refined zinc powder sold in 2005 as compared to 2004.

GROSS PROFIT AND GROSS PROFIT MARGIN. For the year ended December 31, 2005, gross profit was $2.76 million, representing an increase of approximately $1.12 million as compared to $1.64 million for the year ended December 31,2004. Gross profit margin increased by 6.7%, reflecting a gross margin of 39.1% for fiscal year 2005 as compared to 32.4% for 2004. The increase in gross profit margins is mainly attributable to the average market price increase as mentioned above.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. General and administrative expenses increased by $408,000 from $721,000 for 2004 to $1,129,000 for2005. General and administrative expense as a percentage of sales increased from 14.3% for 2004 to 16% for 2005. This unfavorable increase was mainly attributable to an increase in salaries and benefits for administrative staff, and depreciation and amortization expenses.

Depreciation and amortization increased by $650,000 to $1,263,000 for 2005 compared to $613,000 for 2004. At the end of 2004, the Company purchased over $2 million additional mineral rights to enhance operations. The additional depreciation expenses for the new mineral rights significantly increased the depreciation and amortization expenses.

INTEREST EXPENSE. The interest expense increased from $147,000 in 2004 to $320,000 in 2005, representing a 117.7% increase, which is mainly due to the increase of short term bank loans in the year 2005. The average short term bank loans outstanding for the year ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 were $3.55 million and $2.57 million, respectively.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash and cash equivalents were $0.71 million as of June 30, 2006, representing a increase of $0.3 million as compared to a balance of $0.42 million as of December 31, 2005. The increase in cash position was mainly due to net cash generated from operating activities for $4.8 million. With the improvement in operating activities, especially the processing operations, the Company believes that it can continue to

generate adequate financial resources from its operation to fund its business operations and expansion plan for the foreseeable future.

Net cash generated from operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2006 was $4,840,000 million whereas net cash from operating activities was $1,568,000 for the same period of 2005. Cash flow from operations during 2006 was enhanced by the increase in gross profit as a result of expansion of production facilities and the rising market price of refined zinc powder.

Net cash used in investing activities during the six month ended June 30 2006 was mainly reflected in: i) the acquisition of Qingshan Nonferrous Metal Development Co., Ltd and Xinjiang Buerjin County Xingzhen Mining Co., Ltd. for $2.31 million and; ii) the purchase of land, mineral rights, plant and equipment for $1.77 million by Tianzhen Mining and Xiangzhen Mining.

Net cash used in financing activities during the second quarter of 2006 mainly consists of repayment of bank borrowings during the period in order to reduce borrowing interest from short term bank loans.

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. For the years ended 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.

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 reasonably 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

In June 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statements No 3. SFAS No. 154 applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle, and changes the requirements for accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle. SFAS No. 154 requires retrospective application to prior periods' financial statements of a voluntary change in accounting principle unless it is impracticable. Accounting Principles Boards ("APB") Opinion No. 20 previously required that most voluntary changes in accounting principle

be recognized by including in net income of the period of the change the cumulative effect of changing to the new accounting principle. SFAS No. 154 requires that a change in method of depreciation, amortization, or depletion for long-lived, nonfinancial assets be accounted for as a change in accounting estimate that is affected by a change in accounting principle. APB Opinion No. 20 previously required that such a change be reported as a change in accounting principle. The Company adopted SFAS No. 154 on January 1, 2006. The adoption of the provisions of SFAS No. 154 had no material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, Exchanges of Non-monetary Assets-amendment of APB Opinion No. 29. SFAS No. 153 eliminates the exception to fair value for exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception for exchange transactions that do not have commercial substance, defined as transactions that are not expected to result in significant changes in the cash flows of the reporting entity. This statement is effective for exchanges of non-monetary assets occurring after June 15, 2005. The adoption of SFAS No. 153 had had no impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

In September, 2004, the FASB issued FSP FAS 142-2, Application of FASB Statement No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, to Oil- and Gas-Producing Entities. This statement is effective for the first reporting period beginning after the issuance date and clarifies that the costs for acquiring contractual mineral rights in oil and gas properties would continue to be recorded as those for tangible assets. It also addresses that the scope exception within SFAS 142 for the accounting as prescribed in SFAS 19 extends to the balance sheet classification and disclosures for drilling and mineral rights of oil- and gas-producing entities.

In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, Inventory Costs – an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4. SFAS No. 151 requires that certain abnormal costs associated with the manufacturing, freight, and handling costs associated with inventory be charged to current operations in the period in which they are incurred. The adoption of SFAS 151 had no impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows

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.

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:

Xiangzhen Mining----Sumochaganaobao Fluorite Mine

Xiangzhen Mining holds extraction rights to one fluorite mine, the Sumochaganaobao Fluorite Mine located in the middle part of Inner Mongolia, near the border between China and Mongolia. Our mining license for the Sumochaganaobao 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 Sumochaganaobao 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 Sumochaganaobao 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 Sumochaganaobao 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 Sumochaganaobao 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 Sumochaganaobao 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 Sumochaganaobao 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 Sumochaganaobao 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.

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 2.46 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 mine has nine sulphide mineralization belts which are divided into a north part and a south part, of which the north part includes five ore belts and in the south four ore belts, with the length from 140 meters to 1000 meters, width 4 to 15 meters. Their grades are Cu=0.02-1.33x0.01, Pb=0.12x0.01, Zn=6.87x0.01 and Ag=8.83x0.000001.

The mother rock of the mass rock underlying the minerals in the mineralization belts is mainly biotite quartz with grey quartz schist in some area. The corrosion of the mother wall is mainly calcified and the left are chlorite and epidote, etc.

From previous exploration work, the probable reserves are: copper-zinc ore 4,143,519 metric tons, zinc metal 162,357 metric tons, accretion copper 24,527 metric tons, accompanying copper 12,407 metric tons, accompanying silver 37,004 kilograms.

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 597,586 metric tons, and that 3341 grade of 11,575 metric tons. It was estimated that there are 0.6 million metric tons ore in the Huayuan Field.

We hold an exploration license for Huayuan Mine.

Yangye Copper Mine

The mine is located at about 4 kilometers southwest of Kangsu Town, Wuqia County. The central geographic coordinate is east longitude 74°56’23”, north latitude 39°41’38”.

The Notes bear interest at 6.75% per annum (subject to increase in certain circumstances), payable semiannually, and has a maturity date of December 27, 2012. At maturity, the Company will be required to repay the original principal amount of the Notes plus additional principal that accretes 5% per year (for a total of 30% additional principal at maturity). The Notes are convertible at the option of the holders, at any time on or prior to maturity, into common shares of the Company at $3.20 per share (subject to adjustment in certain circumstances). The obligations under the Notes are secured by the common shares of the Company pledged under a Share Pledge Agreement among Citadel, Ms. Yu Xiao Jing and Mr. Xu Xue Ming, respectively, major shareholders of the Company, and the Bank of New York, as collateral agent. Pursuant to the Share Pledge Agreement, Ms. Yu and Mr. Xu have pledged 14,917,000 common shares and 1,870,000 common shares, respectively, owned by them, or approximately 79% of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company. The terms of the Notes are described further under “CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS AND COMMERCIAL COMMITMENTS – Convertible Notes”.

In connection with the transaction, the Company and the 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. Under the Indenture the Company is subject to liquidated damages of up to $200,000 if it does not fulfill these rights.

In connection with the transaction, on December 27, 2006, the Company issued a put warrant to American Eastern Securities, Inc., a financial advisor, and related parties 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.

The offer and sale of the securities was made to an institutional accredited investor in reliance upon exemptions from the registration requirements pursuant to Section 4(2) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Regulation D promulgated thereunder. There was no general solicitation or advertising with respect to the private placement and each of the purchasers provided written representations of an intent to acquire the securities for investment only and not with a view to or for sale in connection with any distribution of the securities.

Equity Compensation Plan Information

The Company has no equity compensation plan nor any shares reserved for the issuance of compensation options or other stock awards to its employees or directors.

INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS

The Company’s Articles of Incorporation and By-laws provide that we may indemnify its officers, directors, agents and any other persons to the fullest extent permitted by law.

Chapter 78 of the Nevada General Corporation Law (“NGCL”) provides that a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he is not liable pursuant to NGCL Section 78.138 or acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding,

had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. NGCL Chapter 78 further provides that a corporation similarly may indemnify any such person serving in any such capacity who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he is not liable pursuant to NGCL Section 78.138 or acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the court or other court of competent jurisdiction in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all of the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the court or other court of competent jurisdiction shall deem proper.

Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

In addition to the reverse takeover, we entered into two purchase transactions pertaining to mining properties, each of which calls for the issuance of restricted shares of the Company’s common stock as partial payment of the consideration. On April 27, 2006, we completed the acquisition of 60% ownership interests in Qingshan Metal. Under the terms of the acquisition agreement, Qingshan Metal shareholders received an aggregate consideration of approximately $2.561 million. 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 of the Company’s common stock to the Qingshan Metal shareholders when the market price was $4.00 per share.

$3.20 per share (subject to adjustment in certain circumstances). The obligations under the Notes are secured by the common shares of the Company pledged under a Share Pledge Agreement among Citadel, Ms. Yu Xiao Jing and Mr. Xu Xue Ming, respectively, major shareholders of the Company, and the Bank of New York, as collateral agent.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

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

To the Stockholders and Board of Directors of American Federal Mining Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of American Federal Mining Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2005 and 2004 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, 2005. 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 American Federal Mining Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2005 in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

(1)	Because AFMG's former owners have received the majority voting rights in the combined entity and AFMG's senior management has been appointed to represent the majority of the senior management of the combined entity following the Share Exchange, the Share Exchange is deemed to be a reverse acquisition.
