Notes to Editors

CAR was incorporated on 20 August 2010 for the purposes of the transaction. Pursuant to the Implementation Agreement, as entered into and announced on 12 January 2011, HK ECE Weatherly Investment Co. Ltd ("HK ECE"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Jiangsu Eastern China Non Ferrous Metals Investment Holding Company Ltd. ('ECE'), owns 65% of the issued share capital of CAR and Weatherly owns the remaining 35%.

CAR, ECE and Weatherly will work together to develop Berg Aukas in Northern Namibia. Hence, the immediate objective of CAR will be to carry out a full feasibility study on Berg Aukas (the "Study") with a view to its completion by the end of 2012. Once completed, the Board of CAR will consider the Study and if further development is approved, consider how best to raise the capital to develop the project. Whilst the immediate focus of CAR will be the development of Berg Aukas, the strategy for CAR is to build a profitable and widely based resource business and may include the acquisition of additional assets from Weatherly, ECE or third parties.
