			Property description

		

		The Tietonggou-Chongyanggou rutile property (‘the T-C Ti property’ hereafter) is located in the Xixia county, Henan province in central China.  This property is approximately 18km long (from Chongyanggou in the east to Tietonggou in the west), 1 to 2 km wide, with a total area of 34 km squares.  The exploration and the mining licenses of the property are registered to Zhongchun Oil in Beijing owned by Xichao Ma.

		The T-C Ti property lies in the eastern Qingling Mountains, topographically characterized by hills with low to moderate relief (50m to 260m relative relief).  Generally, the hills are not well vegetated, so that de-forestry compensation may not be a large cost.

		The climate is temperate with average rainfall around 840mm, mainly in spring and summer.  Mining can operate all year around.

		The region is densely populated and the local economy depends much on agriculture.  Sourcing local labor should not be a problem, and labor cost is expected to be moderate to low.

		Road access to the T-C Ti property is excellent, with the national highway #312 passing through the edge of the property (Fig. 1).  In addition, construction of an express way, also through the edge of the property, and railway (a railway station about a few km away) is currently underway.

		There are several abandoned rutile processing plants in the property (Fig. 2).  With a minor investment on renovation, it is possible that these structures could be used for ore processing and storage.

		Water supply for mineral processing does not appear to be of any problem, as the Shuixia river flows eastward through the property (Fig. 1). 

		In summary, infrastructure and the geographic conditions of the property are very good, with a mine easily going into production with a minimum investment on infrastructure.
