Asian Dragon finalizes negotiations for major China vanadium project, Lushi Jiashapa vanadium mine with world class deposit pote

Asian Dragon Group Inc., is excited to announce its newly negotiated majority owned China Base Metal Development Company, Fuding Mining Development Limited has entered an acquisition Agreement for a 70% interest in Lushi Jiashapa (JSP) Vanadium Mine, located in area of Wenguxiang to Dashihe of Lushi County, Henan Province, China. The region exhibits prolific surface Coal containing Vanadium mineralization discovered only in 2005. Local village residents have been selectively mining rich pockets of coal in the area, as fuel for generations.

Asian Dragon will earn 51% of the newly formed Fuding by investing an initial US$10 million within 1 year and increasing to 70% by a further investment of US$20 million for a total of US$30 million within the next 3 years. This assertive move to base metals further displays Asian Dragon's focus on increasing shareholder value.

The JSP Vanadium Property contains a current Exploration License comprised of 8.3 km2 with an approximate 1km wide by 8 km long covered east-west trend ore body which extends over a 42 km area that sometimes widens up to 3 km wide. The overburden is mostly thin and bare on the surface which makes the project suitable for large-scale opencast mining with 3 exposed veins on the surface, each of which are 60m and 150m or wider and only a few hundred meters apart, indicating the potential of a consolidated ore body below surface. Current Chinese reports estimate the size of the Vanadium ore body deposit within the JSP Property above surface level at over 50,000 tonnes of Vanadium, while preliminary work projects confirm the whole ore body contains in excess of 2 million tones of Vanadium.

About Vanadium: Used in metal alloys, and important in the production of aerospace titanium alloys, as a catalyst for production of maleic anhydride and sulfuric acid, in dyes and mordants, as target material for X-rays. Russia and South Africa are the world's largest producers of Vanadium. Large reserves are also found in the U.S., Canada, and China. The management of Asian Dragon believes Vanadium is "the next" important strategic metal to be used in many new and improved products. The Chinese Government has already mandated small amounts of Vanadium to be added to every screw produced in China by 2010.

五氧化二钒大于10%的残渣等7种废物严禁进口

从国家环保总局获悉：为规范进口废物的审批，国家环保总局明令禁止以加工贸易方式进口七种废物：熔渣、浮渣及其他废料；废汽车钢铁压件、以回收钢铁为主的废五金电器；沉积铜(泥铜)；以回收铜为主的废电机等(包括废游戏机)；以回收铅为主的废电线等；供拆卸的船舶及其他浮动结构体；含五氧化二钒大于10%的矿灰及残渣。

　　据国家环保总局废物进口登记管理中心胡华龙博士介绍，近年来，进口“洋垃圾”导致的污染事件时有发生，倒卖限制进口类可用作原料的废物及进口废物批文的现象较严重，部分省进口废物的实际量大大超出批准量。环保总局明令禁止进口七种废物更加强化了进口废物的环境管理。
