Acquisition Agreement dated January 24, 2006

On January 24, 2006 China Natural Resources, Inc. entered into an Acquisition Agreement with Feishang Mining Holdings Limited, a British Virgin Islands company (“Feishang”) and Feishang Group Limited, a British Virgin Islands company (the “Feishang Shareholder”) pursuant to which China Natural Resources will acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Feishang from the Feishang Shareholder. As consideration, at the closing of the acquisition, China Natural Resources will issue to the Feishang Shareholder 9,980,593 common shares of China Natural Resources, representing approximately 86.4% of its issued and outstanding common shares after giving effect to the issuance (and the exchange of 320,000 currently outstanding preferred shares for 320,000 common shares, as described below), and will issue to the Feishang Shareholder warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase an additional 4,500,000 common shares.

Feishang beneficially owns 100% of the capital stock of Wuhu Feishang Mining Development Co., Ltd. (“Wuhu”), a company established under the laws of the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”). Feishang treats the business of Wuhu, a mining enterprise principally engaged in the mining of zinc, iron and other minerals for distribution in the PRC, as its principal business activity.

Consummation of the acquisition is subject to each party’s compliance with customary conditions of closing, as well as the exchange by Winsland Capital Limited of 320,000 Series B preferred shares of China Natural Resources for 320,000 common shares. Winsland Capital Limited is a company beneficially owned by Mr. Ching Lung Po, China Natural Resources’ Chairman, CEO and President.

The Feishang Shareholder has irrevocably agreed that for a period of two years from the closing date that it will not sell, transfer, pledge, mortgage or otherwise dispose of any of the shares of China Natural Resources it receives in the transaction.

The Acquisition Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, as well as confidentiality and cross indemnification provisions.

The Warrants entitle the holder to purchase: 2,000,000 common shares of China Natural Resources at an exercise price of $4.00 per share for a period of two years from the closing date; 1,500,000 common shares at an exercise price of $4.50 per share for a period of three years from the closing date; and 1,000,000 shares at an exercise price of $5.00 per share for a period of four years from the closing date. Other than the exercise price and exercise period, all other terms and conditions of the Warrants are identical. The Warrants provide that the exercise price is subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits, dividends and reclassifications. The expiration date of the Warrants is subject to acceleration in the event of the sale, conveyance or disposal of all or substantially all of China Natural Resources’ property or business or a merger with or into or consolidation with another company or other transaction or series of transactions in which more than 50% of the voting power of China Natural Resources is disposed of, except for a merger undertaken solely for the purpose of changing the domicile of the company or in connection with an equity financing in which China Natural Resources is the surviving corporation.

The foregoing summary of the material terms of the Acquisition Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Acquisition Agreement filed as an exhibit to this Form 6-K.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors and Shareholders

Wuhu Feishang Mining Development Co., Ltd.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Wuhu Feishang Mining Development Co., Ltd. (Successor Company) (note 1) as of December 31, 2003 and 2004, and the related statements of operations, equity, and cash flows for the eight months ended December 31, 2003 and the year ended December 31, 2004 (Successor Company Period); and we have audited the statements of operations, equity and cash flows of Anhui Fanchang Zinc and Iron Mine (Predecessor Company) (note 1) for the year ended December 31, 2002 and the four months ended April 30, 2003 (Predecessor Company Period). These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these 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 financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Wuhu Feishang Mining Development Co., Ltd. at December 31, 2003 and 2004, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the Successor Company Period and the results of operations and cash flows of Anhui Fanchang Zinc and Iron Mine for the Predecessor Company Period, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

As discussed in note 1 to the financial statements, the Predecessor Company was acquired on May 1, 2003. The financial statements of the Successor Company reflect the impact of adjustments to reflect the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed under the purchase method of accounting. As a result, the financial statements of the Successor Company are presented on a different basis from those of the Predecessor Company and, therefore, are not comparable in all respects.

1. ORGANIZATION AND PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES

In May 2003, Anhui Fanchang Zinc and Iron Mine, a stated-owned enterprise (the "Predecessor Company") underwent a corporate reorganization (the "Reorganization"). Pursuant to the Reorganization, the Predecessor Company sold its entire business to an unrelated entity, Wuhu Feishang Mining Development Co., Ltd. (the "Company" or "WFM" or the "Successor"). WFM was established as a Sino-foreign joint venture company in the People's Republic of China ("PRC") with the venturers being Wuhu Feishang Enterprise Development Limited ("WFE") ("50%") and Feishang International Holdings Limited ("FIH") ("50%") on June 21, 2002 with a tenure of 20 years from the date of the business license. Mr. Li Feilie is the majority owner of WFE and FIH. The tenure can be extended by agreement between the joint venture partners with the necessary approval from the relevant government agencies. The registered capital of WFM is RMB12,000 (US$1,449), of which RMB6,000 (US$725) was each contributed by WFE and FIH.

The financial statements for the Predecessor Period for the year ended December 31, 2002 and the four months ended April 30, 2003 were prepared using the historical basis of accounting. As a result of the Reorganization, WFM applied purchase accounting and a new basis of accounting began on May 1, 2003. WFM has reflected a Predecessor Period for the year ended December 31, 2002 and the four months ended April 30, 2003 and a Successor Period from May 1, 2003 through December 31, 2003 and the year ended December 31, 2004. Accordingly, the results of operations of the Predecessor and the Successor are not comparable in all respects.

The principal activity of the Company is the mining of zinc, iron, activated bleaching earth, metallurgy bentonite and other minerals for distribution in the PRC. In early 2004, the Company sold its mining business in activated bleaching earth and metallurgy bentonite to Wuhu Feishang Non-Metal Material Co. Ltd. ("WFNM"), a related party, for consideration of RMB8,050 (US$972). The Company owns the mining rights to two mines: Yang-chong Mine contains iron and zinc minerals and Zao-yun Mine contains mainly iron minerals. The cash flows and profitability of the Company's current operations are significantly affected by the market price of zinc and iron. These commodity prices can fluctuate widely and are affected by factors beyond the Company's control.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) Accounting principles

The financial statements of the Company are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("US GAAP").

(b) Use of estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting year. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

(c) Cash and cash equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments and cash deposits with financial institutions with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

(d) Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of average cost or net realizable value. For products, we determine net realizable value by estimating value based on current metals prices, less cost to convert stockpiled and in-process inventories to finished products. Major types of inventories include:

Raw materials consists of raw ore extracted and auxiliary material - costs are limited to those directly related to mining

Work in progress consists of semi-finished iron and zinc ore
- valued at the cost of production through the point at which inventory has been processed

Finished goods - valued at the lower of full cost of production or net realizable value based on current metal prices

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

(e) Property and equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for routine repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.

Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line basis to write off the cost less estimated residual value of each asset over its estimated useful life.

In April 2004, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position ("FSP") FAS 141-1 and FAS 142-1 "Interaction of FASB Statements No. 141, Business Combinations, and No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, and Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") Issue 04-2, "Whether Mineral Rights are Tangible or Intangible Assets". This FSP amends SFAS Nos. 141 and 142 and requires mineral rights to be accounted for as tangible assets based on the consensus reached in EITF 04-2.

The Company has determined that the mining rights acquired from the Predecessor are mineral rights, and accordingly are classified as property and equipment.

Mining rights are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and any impairment losses. The mining rights are amortized based on actual units of production over the proven and probable reserves of the mines, not to exceed 20 years. The weighted average amortization period for these reserves is 18 years as of December 31, 2004. Reserves designated as proven and probable are supported by a study indicating that the reserves have had the requisite geological, technical and economic work performed, and are legally extractable at the time of reserve determination. The Company's rights to extract minerals are contractually limited by time. However, the Company believes that it will be able to extend licenses, as it has in the past, without incurring substantial costs, and therefore, believes that assigned lives are appropriate. All costs, other than acquisition costs, are expensed prior to the establishment of proven and probable reserves. Once proven and probable reserves are established, all development and other site specific costs are capitalized, including general and administrative charges for actual time and expenses incurred in connection with site supervision.

Estimated useful lives are as follows:

Buildings and mine development                   15 - 35 years
Machinery and equipment                           6 - 15 years
Motor vehicles                                         8 years
Mining rights                                         18 years

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

(e) Property and equipment (continued)

Management assesses the carrying values of its long-lived assets for impairment when circumstances warrant such a review. Generally, long-lived assets are considered impaired if the estimated fair value is less than the assets' carrying values. If an impairment is indicated, the loss is measured based on the amounts by which the carrying values of the assets exceed their fair values.

(f) Revenue recognition

Revenue from product sales is recognized when title passes to the customer in accordance with the sales agreement, generally upon product acceptance by the customer.

Freight and handling costs paid to third party carriers are recorded as cost of sales.

(g) Income taxes

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.

(h) Foreign currency translation

The functional currency of all the operations of the Company is the Renminbi ("RMB"), the national currency of the PRC.

Transactions denominated in currencies other than the RMB are translated into RMBs at the applicable rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in other currencies have been translated into RMBs at the rate of exchange at the balance sheet date. The resulting exchange gains or losses are credited or charged to the consolidated statements of operations.

The financial statements are stated in RMB. The translation of amounts from RMB into US$ is included solely for the convenience of the reader and has been made at the rate of exchange quoted by the People's Bank of China on December 31, 2004 of US$1.00 = RMB8.28. No representation is made that the RMB amounts could have been, or could be, converted into US$ at that rate on December 31, 2004 or at any other date.

(i) Interest income

Interest on bank balances is recorded when earned.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

(j) Recently issued accounting pronouncements

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 123 (R) "Share Based Payment" which addresses the accounting for share-based payment transactions. SFAS No. 123 (R) eliminates the ability to account for share-based compensation transactions using APB No. 25, and generally requires instead that such transactions be accounted and recognized in the statement of income based on their fair values. SFAS No. 123 (R) will be effective for public companies that file as small business issuers as of the first interim period in fiscal years that begin after December 15, 2005. The Company is evaluating the provisions of SFAS No. 123 (R). Depending upon the numbers and terms of options that may be granted in future periods, the implementation of this standard could have a material impact on the Company's financial position and results of operations.

In March 2005, the Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") issued EITF 04-6, "Accounting for Stripping Costs Incurred during Production in the Mining Industry". EITF 04-6 requires that stripping costs incurred during the production phase of a mine should be included in the cost of inventory produced during the period the stripping costs are incurred. EITF 04-6 is effective for the first reporting period in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005, with initial adoption being accounted for in a manner similar to a cumulative-effect adjustment.

4.       DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

Pursuant to a January 1, 2004 agreement, the Company disposed of its interest in the mining of activated bleaching earth operation to a related party, Wuhu Feishang Non-Metal Material Co. Ltd. ("WFNM") for total consideration of RMB8,050 (US$972), which has been included as an amount due from a related company at December 31, 2004. The assets of the activated bleaching earth segment have been classified as assets held for sale as of December 31, 2003, and consisted of fixed assets of RMB8,050 (US$972). Inventories of the bleaching earth segment with a carrying value of RMB796 (US$96) were not sold to WFNM and were sold by the Company to unrelated third parties in 2004. The sale price of the bleaching earth segment equaled its carrying value and accordingly there was no gain or loss on the sale. As a result of the disposition, the Company has ceased its activated bleaching earth operations. The results of the activated bleaching earth segment have been retroactively restated as discontinued operations. Revenues from the discontinued activated bleaching earth segment were RMB6,047 (US$730), RMB1,088 (US$131), RMB7,146 (US$863) and RMB808 (US$98), respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2002, the four months ended April 30, 2003, the eight months ended December 31, 2003 and year ended December 31, 2004. Income/(loss) before income taxes from the discontinued activated bleaching earth segment was (RMB1,825) (US$220), (RMB159) (US$19), (RMB72) (US$9) and RMB12 (US$1), respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2002, the four months ended April 30, 2003, the eight months ended December 31, 2003 and year ended December 31, 2004.

Also included in assets held for sale is RMB255 (US$31) relating to mine exploration rights acquired from the Predecessor and sold to an unrelated third party in December 2004.

11. CONCENTRATION OF RISK

Concentration of credit risk:

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentration of credit risk consist principally of cash deposits, trade receivables and bills receivable.

(i) Cash and cash deposits

The Company maintains its cash and cash deposits primarily with various PRC State-owned banks. The Company performs periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of those financial institutions.

(ii) Trade receivables

The Company sells zinc and iron products to companies in the PRC. Management considers that the Company's current customers are generally creditworthy and credit is extended based on an evaluation of the customers' financial conditions and, therefore, generally collateral is not required. At December 31, 2003 and 2004, the largest five customers accounted for 84% and 95% trade receivables, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2002, two customers accounted for 51% and 16%, respectively, of the Company's sales. During the four months ended April 30, 2003, two customers accounted for 60% and 33%, respectively, of the Company's sales. During the eight months ended December 31, 2003, one customer accounted for 66% of the Company's sales. During the year ended December 31, 2004, three customers accounted for 47%, 24% and 10%, respectively, of the Company's sales.

(iii) Bills receivable

Bills receivable represent letters of credit obtained by the customers of the Company to finance purchases which have been presented to banks for payment after delivery of goods to customers. As of December 31, 2004, bills receivable amounted to RMB350 (2003: RMB1,047) and their collectability was guaranteed by banks. The bills receivable have normal terms of maturity of six months.

12. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating the fair value of its financial instruments:

(i) Cash and cash equivalents

The carrying amount reported in the consolidated balance sheet for cash and cash equivalents approximate their fair value.

(ii) Trade receivables, bills receivable, other receivables, accounts payable and other payables

The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for trade receivables, bills receivable, other receivables, accounts payable and other payables approximate their fair values due to their short maturities.

(iii) Amounts due from/to related parties

The fair values of amounts due from/to the related parties cannot be determined due to the related party nature of those balances.

13. REGISTERED CAPITAL, RESERVES AND DISTRIBUTION OF PROFITS

The registered capital of the Company is RMB12 million, being WFE's and FIH's initial contributions of RMB6 million each upon the formation of the Company.

In accordance with the relevant PRC regulations and the Articles of Association of the Company (the "Articles of Association"), appropriations of net income as reflected in its statutory financial statements is to be allocated to each of the general reserve, enterprise expansion reserve and staff bonus and welfare reserve, respectively, as determined by the resolution of the Board of Directors annually.

On February 28, 2005, the Board of Directors approved appropriations of RMB1,956, RMB1,956 and RMB978 to the general reserve, the enterprise expansive reserve and the staff bonus and welfare reserve, respectively. The Board of Directors also declared dividends of RMB44,005.

14. FOREIGN CURRENCY EXCHANGE

The RMB is not freely convertible into foreign currencies.

From January 1, 1994 through July 2, 2005, a single rate of exchange was quoted daily by the People's Bank of China (the "Unified Exchange Rate"). Beginning July 23, 2005, the rate of exchange was revalued by 2.1% and the RMB is now to fluctuate according to the value of a group of currencies (the "managed float"). However, the unification or managed float of the exchange rates does not imply convertibility of RMB into US$ or other foreign currencies. All foreign exchange transactions continue to take place either through the Bank of China or other banks authorized to buy and sell foreign currencies at the exchange rates quoted by the People's Bank of China.
