Company Receives Nasdaq Hearing Panel Decision


China Natural Resources has received an April 6, 2006 decision by a Nasdaq Hearings Qualification Panel. The decision results from the Company’s appeal of a Nasdaq Staff determination to delist the Company’s shares for not completing Nasdaq’s new listing process prior to completion of the Company’s recent acquisition of Feishang Mining Holdings Limited.


The Hearing Panel decision provides that the Company’s shares will remain listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market, conditioned upon the Company’s new listing application being approved by the Nasdaq Staff on or before May 31, 2006.


On March 6, 2006, the Company submitted its new listing application to Nasdaq, and is in the process of preparing responses to certain additional information requested by the Nasdaq Staff in response to the Company’s submission. There is no assurance that the Nasdaq Staff will approve the Company’s new listing application.
