Income from operations decreased 25.4% to $2.1 million from $2.8 million in the second quarter of 2006, and up 548% from $319,000 in the first quarter of 2007

Net income was $1.3 million, or $0.04 per diluted share

“We are pleased with our performance in the second quarter of 2007. Performance at our Xiangzhen Mine was particularly strong as we realized the benefits of a favorable pricing environment and increases in the sales volume of our fluorite products,” said Ms. Jessica Yu, CEO of China Shen Zhou Mining & Resources. “We continue to focus on our expansion strategy, adding production capacity, increasing exploration activities and acquiring more mineral resources.”

Added Yu, “We will look at both domestic and foreign large-scale mine acquisitions, such as the gold-copper mine in Kyrgyzstan -- which we are in the process of acquiring -- and various domestic non-ferrous mines, in order to increase our reserve base, insure supply to our processing facilities and expedite our expansion. With an eye toward further increasing our profit margins, we also intend to enter the high margin, rapidly growing downstream market for fluorite chemicals. We are confident these initiatives will position us well for long-term growth.”

Quarter Ended June 30, 2007

Revenue for the second quarter of 2007 increased 2.5% to $4.9 million from $4.8 million in the second quarter of 2006, reflecting a decline in zinc powder volume at Qianzhen Mining, which was only partially covered by an increase in sales price, offset by strong revenues at Xiangzhen arising from increases in both the sales volume and price of refined fluorite powder and ore.

Yu noted, “During the second quarter, we experienced a shortage of zinc ore at our Qianzhen mine, which limited our production of zinc powder. I am pleased to say that we are well along in addressing this supply issue, with additional extracting capacity at Qingshan Metal coming on line this year. I am also pleased with the strong performance at Xiangzhen, which we believe to be among the highest quality fluorite mines and processing centers in China.”

China Shen Zhou Mining is currently investing in exploration through the purchase and acquisition of additional exploration rights, as well as investing in extraction capabilities at the Xingzhen Mine. The Company anticipates that Xingzhen Mine will contribute more to overall revenue and net income results in 2008.

For the three months ended June 30, 2007, gross profit was $3.2 million, representing an increase of approximately $0.4 million as compared to $2.8 million for the second quarter of 2006. The increase in gross profit was primarily due to a 100% increase in the volume of fluorite products sold and increases in the sales prices for refined zinc powder (up 17%) and fluorite products (up 27%) compared to the corresponding period of 2006. The gross profit margin increased by 6% to 65.2% in the second quarter of 2007, as compared to the second quarter of 2006, due mainly to the increased sales prices of non ferrous and fluorite products processed in the Xiangzhen Mine.

Income from operations for the second quarter 2007 decreased to $2.1 million from $2.8 million in the same period of 2006, reflecting an additional $1.0 million of general and administrative expense in the second quarter of 2007. The increase in the general and administrative expenses was mainly due to expenses incurred by newly acquired subsidiaries totaling $490,000, additional professional and consultancy expenses of approximately $220,000 incurred to meet public company reporting requirements and additional staff salary and traveling expenses of approximately $129,000.

Interest expense increased to $760,000 in the second quarter of 2007 from $69,000 in the second quarter of 2006. The increase in interest expense is mainly due to interest expense associated with the convertible bonds and warrants issued in the fourth quarter of 2006.

Net income was $1.3 million or $0.04 per diluted shares in the second quarter of 2007, compared to $2.7 million or $0.13 per diluted share in the same period of 2006. The decrease in net income was primarily due to i) interest expense of $760,000 associated with the convertible bonds and warrants, ii) the increase in general and administrative expense of $1 million.

Excluding non-cash interest expense of approximately $400,000 in the second quarter 2007, net income would be $1.7 million or $0.05 per diluted share.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2007

For the six months ended June 30, 2007, revenue increased 2.6% to $7.9 million from $7.7 million in the first six months of 2006. During this same time period, gross profit improved 5.2% to $5.0 million from $4.7 million. Gross margin increased 157 basis points to 62.7% from 61.2% in the first half of 2006. Income from operations decreased 38.0% to $2.4 million from $3.8 million in the first six months of 2006.

During the six month period, the Company recognized interest expense of $2.3 million associated with the convertible bonds and warrants issued in the fourth quarter of 2006. $1.5 million of the interest expense, or approximately $0.05 per diluted share, was non-cash in nature.

Excluding the non-cash interest expense described above, net income would be $1.6 million or $0.05 per diluted share, compared to $3.7 million or $0.19 per diluted share in the same period of 2006. Reported net income was $109,000 for the first six months of 2007.

Balance Sheet

As of June 30, 2007, the Company had $8.7 million of cash, compared to $14.5 million as of March 31, 2007 and $18.9 million as of December 31, 2006. The decrease in cash position was mainly due to the $8.2 million of payment in purchases of property, machinery and equipment and the $1.48 million of net repayment of bank borrowings during the six months ended June 30, 2007.

Business Update

Enhancing exploration: During the second quarter, the Company invested $1.5 million for exploration rights at the new location Xingzhen Mining. The Company intends to develop these new locations into active mines in the future.

Increasing ownership of high-quality assets: The Company acquired an additional 10 percent of Xingzhen Mining for $459,589 during the quarter, bringing the Company’s stake to 90 percent. Management believes that the Xingzhen Mine is a high-quality mining property with the potential to greatly increase the Company’s extraction capacity.

Kyrgyzstan acquisition: The Company is currently in the process of finalizing its acquisition of a gold and copper mine in Kyrgyzstan. It has contracted with SRK Consulting, a world-leading independent appraisal company in the mining industry, for a reserve study which will specifically show the deposits and extraction potential of this mine.

Capacity Expansion

The Company currently has expansion and development projects in process at Xiangzhen Mining, Qingshan Metal and Xingzhen Mining, which, upon completion, will add a total of 500,000 metric tons of extraction capacity (a 333% increase) and 400,000 metric tons of processing capacity (a 200% increase)

Xiangzhen Mining 300,000 metric ton fluorite ore project: This project is expected to reach 70% of its designed annual capacity in 2008 and will give the company the capacity to extract 300,000 metric tons of fluorite ore per year by 2009.

Xiangzhen Mining 200,000 metric ton fluorite processing plant: Begun in early 2006, the processing plant will go into full production in the fourth quarter of this year and is expected to produce 30,000 metric tons of refined fluorite powder in 2007. The new plant will give the company the capacity to produce approximately 100,000 metric tons of refined fluorite upon project completion in 2009.

Qingshan Metal: An expansion in extracting capacity in June 2007 should, by April 2008, enable the company to produce 100,000 metric tons of copper ore and 50,000 metric tons of zinc ore.

Xingzhen Mining: This 200,000 metric ton/year zinc-copper ore mining and processing project will go into production in September 2007, when it is expected to produce 5,000 metric tons of zinc ore powders and 2,500 metric tons of copper ore powders. Production is expected to reach 200,000 metric tons of zinc and/ore copper ore powders by 2008
