**INFORMATION STATEMENT**

**FOR**

**2025 ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS**

____________________________________

This Information Statement is being furnished to you by the Board of Directors (the "Board") of China Natural Resources, Inc. ("we," "us," "our" or the "Company") in connection with corporate actions approved and authorized by the holder of a majority of our outstanding common shares (the "Majority Shareholder") in lieu of our 2025 annual meeting of shareholders. The corporate actions described in this Information Statement will become effective on or about January 27, 2026, in accordance with the written consent in lieu of our 2025 annual meeting executed by the Majority Shareholder, but no sooner than 20 days following the date that this Information Statement is first mailed to our shareholders (the "Effective Date"). The 2025 annual meeting of shareholders shall be deemed to occur on the Effective Date.

Elimination of the need to hold an in-person 2025 annual meeting of shareholders for the purposes described in the accompanying Notice of Shareholder Action is based upon authority contained in the laws of the British Virgin Islands, our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association and the rules of The Nasdaq Capital Market® ("Nasdaq") applicable to foreign private issuers such as our company. The laws of the British Virgin Islands do not require that we hold an in-person annual meeting and our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association provide that the written consent of holders of outstanding shares of voting capital representing an absolute majority of the votes of shares entitled to vote on a matter may be substituted for such an in-person meeting. Moreover, Nasdaq does not require a foreign private issuer to hold an in-person annual meeting if the laws of the issuer's home jurisdiction do not require that an in-person annual meeting be held. Our use of this Information Statement will relieve us of the expense of soliciting proxies and holding an in-person annual meeting of shareholders.

A copy of our Annual Report on Form 20-F, including audited consolidated financial statements for years ended December 31, 2022, 2023 and 2024, accompanies this Information Statement.

This Information Statement is first being mailed on or about January 6, 2026, to shareholders of record on December 12, 2025 (the "Record Date"), and is being provided to inform you of the corporate actions described herein before they take effect. This Information Statement constitutes notice of the action taken by written consent in lieu of a meeting of shareholders. A list of shareholders as of the Record Date is available for examination by any shareholder for a proper purpose during normal business hours at our offices. No dissenter's rights are afforded to our shareholders under the laws of the British Virgin Islands in connection with the adoption of these actions.

The entire cost of furnishing this Information Statement will be borne by us. We will request brokerage houses, nominees, custodians, fiduciaries and other like parties to forward this Information Statement to the beneficial owners of our voting securities held of record by them and we will reimburse such persons for out-of-pocket expenses incurred in forwarding such material.

**CONVENTIONS**

Unless otherwise specified, all references in this Information Statement to "U.S. Dollars," "US$," or "$" are to United States dollars; all references to "HK$" are to Hong Kong dollars; and all references to "Renminbi," "RMB" or "CNY" are to Chinese Yuan, which is the lawful currency of the People's Republic of China.

**FOREIGN PRIVATE ISSUER STATUS**

We are a "foreign private issuer" within the meaning of Rule 3b-4 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). Foreign private issuers are not required to provide all of the disclosure required to be included in reports filed under the Exchange Act by Exchange Act reporting companies that are not foreign private issuers. In addition, foreign private issuers are not subject to certain provisions of the Exchange Act, including Sections 14(a) and 14(c) of the Exchange Act or Regulations 14A and 14C thereunder relating to the preparation, filing and dissemination of proxy statements and information statements. Therefore, this Information Statement may not contain all of the disclosure required to be included in information statements prepared in accordance with Section 14(c) of the Exchange Act and Regulation 14C thereunder.

**SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT**

The following table sets forth certain information known to us concerning the beneficial ownership of our common shares as of December 12, 2025, the Record Date by:

These benefits include the power to direct the voting or the disposition of the securities. A person is also considered to be the "beneficial owner" of securities that the person has the right to acquire within 60 days by option or other agreement. Beneficial owners include persons who hold their securities through one or more trustees, brokers, agents, legal representatives or other intermediaries, or through companies in which they have a "controlling interest," which means the direct or indirect power to direct the management and policies of the entity.

**Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee; Shareholder Nominees for Director**

Our Board of Directors has established a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee that operates pursuant to a written charter. The current members of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee are Ng Kin Sing, Lam Kwan Sing and Yip Wing Hang (Chairman). Each member of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is an independent director, as such term is used in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(a)(2).

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for providing oversight on a broad range of issues surrounding the composition and operation of our Board of Directors. In particular, the responsibilities of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· identifying individuals qualified to become members of the Board of Directors;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· determining the slate of nominees to be recommended for election to the Board of Directors;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· reviewing corporate governance principles applicable to us, including recommending corporate governance principles to the Board of Directors and administering our Code of Ethics;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· assuring that at least one Audit Committee member is an "audit committee financial expert" within the meaning of regulatory requirements; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· carrying out such other duties and responsibilities as may be determined by the Board of Directors.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is required to meet at least once annually, and more frequently if the committee deems it to be appropriate. The committee may delegate authority to one or more members of the committee; provided that any decisions made pursuant to such delegated authority are presented to the full committee at its next scheduled meeting. Discussions pertaining to the nomination of directors are required to be held in executive session. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee met on two occasions during Fiscal 2024.

<u>Shareholder Nominees for Directors</u>: The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider candidates for directors proposed by shareholders, although no formal procedures for submitting the names of candidates for inclusion on management's slate of director nominees have been adopted. Until otherwise determined by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, a shareholder who wishes to submit the name of a candidate to be considered for inclusion on management's slate of nominees at the next annual meeting of shareholders must notify our Corporate Secretary, in writing, no later than June 30 of the year in question of its desire to submit the name of a director nominee for consideration. The written notice must include information about each proposed nominee, including name, age, business address, principal occupation, telephone number, shares beneficially owned and a statement describing why inclusion of the candidate would be in our best interests. The notice must also include the proposing shareholder's name and address, as well as the number of shares beneficially owned by the proposing shareholder. A statement from the candidate must also be furnished, indicating the candidate's desire and ability to serve as a director. Adherence to these procedures is a prerequisite to the Board's consideration of the shareholder's candidate. Once a candidate has been identified, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee reviews the individual's experience and background, and may discuss the proposed nominee with the source of the recommendation. If the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee believes it to be appropriate, committee members may meet with the proposed nominee before making a final determination whether to include the proposed nominee as a member of management's slate of director nominees to be submitted for election to the Board.

There were no shareholder recommendations for nomination to the Board of Directors in connection with the 2025 annual meeting of shareholders. There are two Class II director nominees who have been elected by the written consent of the Majority Shareholder, and both of who are the incumbent directors standing for reelection.

A copy of the Amended and Restated Charter of our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is posted on our website at www.chnr.net, and may be obtained by sending a written request to Corporate Secretary, China Natural Resources, Inc., Room 2205, 22/F, West Tower, Shun Tak Centre, 168-200 Connaught Road Central, Sheung Wan, Hong Kong.

This centralized process will assist the Board in reviewing and responding to shareholder communications in an appropriate manner. The name of any specific intended Board recipient should be noted in the communication. The Board has instructed our Secretary to forward such correspondence only to the intended recipient(s); however, the Board has also instructed our Secretary, prior to forwarding any correspondence, to review such correspondence and, in his or her discretion, not to forward certain items if they are deemed of a commercial or frivolous nature or otherwise inappropriate for the Board's consideration. In such cases, some of that correspondence may be forwarded elsewhere within the Company for review and possible response.

**Attendance at Annual Meeting of Shareholders**

We have not adopted a formal policy on Board members' attendance at in-person annual meetings of shareholders, although all Board members are encouraged to attend in-person meetings. As discussed elsewhere in this Information Statement, we do not currently hold in-person meetings of shareholders.

**Nasdaq Requirements**

Our common shares are currently listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market® and, for so long as our securities continue to be listed, we will remain subject to the rules and regulations established by Nasdaq as being applicable to listed companies. Nasdaq has adopted, and from time-to-time amends, Nasdaq Listing Rule 5600 that imposes various corporate governance requirements on issuers of listed securities. Section (a)(3) of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5615 provides that a foreign private issuer such as our company is required to comply with certain specific requirements of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5600, but, as to the balance of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5600, a foreign private issuer is not required to comply if the laws of its home jurisdiction do not otherwise mandate compliance with the same or substantially similar requirement.

We currently comply with those specifically mandated provisions of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5600. In addition, we voluntarily comply with certain other requirements of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5600, notwithstanding that our home jurisdiction does not mandate compliance with the same or substantially similar requirements; although we may in the future cease voluntary compliance with those provisions of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5600 that are not mandatory. We do not comply with the following provisions of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5600, since the laws of the British Virgin Islands (our home jurisdiction) do not require compliance with the same or substantially similar requirements:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· our independent directors do not hold regularly scheduled meetings in executive session (rather, all Board members may attend all meetings of the Board of Directors);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· the compensation of our executive officers is recommended but not determined by an independent committee of the Board or by the independent members of the Board of Directors, and our CEO may be present in the deliberations concerning his compensation;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· related party transactions are not required to be approved by shareholders and we are not required to solicit shareholder approval of: stock plans, including those in which our officers or directors may participate; stock issuances that will result in a change in control; the issuance of our stock in related party acquisitions or other acquisitions in which we may issue 20% or more of our outstanding shares; or, below market issuances of 20% or more of our outstanding shares to any person; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· we are not required to hold an in-person annual meeting to elect directors and transact other business customarily conducted at an annual meeting (rather, we complete these actions by written consent of holders of a majority of our voting securities).

We may in the future undertake to voluntarily comply with one or more of the foregoing provisions of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5600.

**Code of Ethics**

A Code of Ethics is a written standard designed to deter wrongdoing and to promote:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· honest and ethical conduct;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in regulatory filings and public statements;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· the prompt reporting of any violation of the code; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· accountability for adherence to the Code of Ethics.

We have adopted a Code of Ethics applicable to all of our employees, and additional provisions that apply only to our Chief Executive Officer, principal financial and accounting officers and persons performing similar functions. A copy of our Code of Ethics has been incorporated by reference as an exhibit to our Annual Report on Form 20-F and may be obtained, without charge, upon written request addressed to the attention of our Corporate Secretary, Room 2205, 22/F, West Tower, Shun Tak Centre, 168-200 Connaught Road Central, Sheung Wan, Hong Kong. A copy of our Code of Ethics is also posted on our website at www.chnr.net. The information posted on our website is not a part of or incorporated by reference into this Information Statement.

**Employment Agreements and Related Matters**

On April 2, 2015, we entered into service agreements with Tam Cheuk Ho (a director) and Wong Wah On Edward (our Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President). We entered into service agreements with identical terms with Zhu Youyi (our Chief Financial Officer and Corporate Secretary) on July 14, 2020. Each of the agreements is for an initial term of one year and, thereafter, continues unless and until terminated by either party on not less than one month's notice. Each of the agreements also provides for the payment to the individual of an annual fee of US$1.00, plus such equity awards as may from time to time be determined by our Compensation Committee. On March 7, 2019, we entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Yu Jun for his services as general manager of Bayannaoer Mining for a term of one year expiring on March 6, 2020. The agreement was renewed on March 7, 2020, March 7, 2021, and March 7, 2022, respectively, with the same initial terms. For his services, Mr. Yu receives a basic salary at the rate of CNY5,000 (US$685) per month, and is eligible for a bonus. Mr. Yu also enjoys certain perquisites and is eligible for bonuses.

There are no current contracts, agreements or understandings to increase the annual cash compensation payable to any of our executive directors for their services as such. For each of the three years ended December 31, 2022, 2023 and 2024, no increases in cash compensation were authorized by the Compensation Committee under the service agreements, and we paid or accrued nil, nil and nil, respectively, for cash compensation to our executive officers for their services as such.

We have no other employment contracts with any of our executive officers or directors and maintain no retirement, fringe benefit or similar plans for the benefit of our executive officers or directors. We may, however, enter into employment contracts with our officers and key employees, adopt various benefit plans and begin paying compensation to our officers and directors as we deem appropriate to attract and retain the services of such persons. The Company and its subsidiaries have not set aside or accrued any amounts to provide pension, retirement or similar benefits to the Company's directors.

(1) The 2024 Plan was authorized by the Board of Directors on June 20, 2024, and was ratified and approved by shareholders on October 24, 2024. Under the 2024 Plan, we have reserved a number of common shares equal to 20% of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company, from time to time, for issuance pursuant to options granted or for restricted stock awarded by the Board or the 2024 Plan Committee under the 2024 Plan. During the year ended December 31, 2024, no awards have been made under the 2024 Plan. The 2024 Plan terminates on September 25, 2034.

**CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS**

In 2024, we received an aggregate amount of HK$1.00 million (US$0.13 million) from Anka in the form of interest-free loans to us.

We have received letters from Feishang Group and Feishang Enterprise, entities controlled by Mr. Li Feilie, the principal beneficial shareholder of the Company, both dated May 15, 2025 which state that Feishang Group and Feishang Enterprise will provide continuous financial support (in the form of interest-free loans) to us in relation to the going concern of our operations, including not recalling any amounts due to them until we are in a position to settle the amounts due without having a detrimental impact on our financial resources, and that Feishang Enterprise will pay debts on our behalf when needed. As far as the Company understands, there are no limitations on the amount, provision or duration of support from Feishang Group or Feishang Enterprise.

Feishang Enterprise and Feishang Group are each beneficially owned by Mr. Li Feilie, the principal beneficial owner of the Company, and members of his family. Mr. Li is also the former Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Company and currently serves as a director of certain subsidiaries of the Company. Wong Wah On Edward, the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Company is also a director of certain affiliates of Feishang Group.

**Acquisition of Feishang Anthracite Shares in Exchange for Newly Issued Company Shares** 

On August 17, 2020, the Company entered into the Sale and Purchase Agreement with Feishang Group pursuant to which the Company issued 9,077,166 shares of the Company's common stock, no par value, to Feishang Group, in exchange for 120 million shares of Feishang Anthracite, with an approximate aggregate value of HK$87,522,000 (determined at a price of HK$1.006 per share, representing the average closing price of Feishang Anthracite on the five trading days before August 17, 2020, adjusted for a 27.5% discount based on an independent valuation report). Feishang Group is the largest stockholder in the Company, and is wholly owned by Mr. Li Feilie, who also beneficially owns 53.53% of the outstanding equity of Feishang Anthracite.

**Transfer of Equity Interests of Yangpu Lianzhong**

On April 28, 2021, the Company's subsidiary China Coal entered into an equity transfer agreement to transfer 100% of the equity interests of Yangpu Lianzhong Mining Co., Limited ("Yangpu Lianzhong") to the Company's external related party, Shenzhen Feishang Energy Investment Co., Limited ("Feishang Energy"), for total consideration of CNY103.767 million (US$14.22 million). Rather than receiving cash as a result of this transaction, the consideration offset amounts due to Feishang Energy under a series of creditor right transfer agreements. Please see Note 28 of our audited consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for Fiscal 2024 for more information. Feishang Energy is a wholly owned subsidiary of Feishang Enterprise, which is controlled by our principal beneficial owner Mr. Li Feilie. Because of the transfer of the equity interests, Yangpu Lianzhong is no longer a subsidiary of the Company.

**Acquisition and Subsequent Disposal of PST Technology** 

On July 27, 2021, the Company entered into the Sale and Purchase Agreement with Mr. Li Feilie pursuant to which the Company issued three million restricted shares of the Company's common shares, and transferred its 120 million shares of Feishang Anthracite, as well as approximately CNY10.3 million (US$1.41 million), to Feishang Group in exchange for all outstanding shares of Precise Space-Time Technology Limited ("PST Technology") and the transfer to the Company of approximately CNY130.0 million (US$18.4 million) of PST Technology's outstanding debt previously owed to Mr. Li, which debt was eliminated upon consolidation. PST Technology, through its wholly owned subsidiaries, owns a 51% equity interest in Shanghai Onway Environmental Development Co., Limited ("Shanghai Onway"). Shanghai Onway is principally engaged in the development of rural wastewater treatment technologies, the provision of equipment and materials for rural wastewater treatment, undertaking EPC projects and PPP projects in relation to rural wastewater treatment, and the provision of consulting and professional technical services. The total value of the consideration that the Company provided to Mr. Li was approximately CNY104.1 million (US$14.26 million), which amount was a 20% discount to the valuation (including the assigned debt) of PST Technology provided by an independent valuation firm.

On July 28, 2023, the Company entered into a Sale and Purchase Agreement with Feishang Group. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company agreed to sell 100% equity interest of PST Technology to Feishang Group, together with PST Technology's outstanding payable owed to the Company, for consideration of approximately CNY95,761,119 comprising: (i) CNY -34,197,300, the fair value of 100% equity interest of PST Technology as determined by the independent valuation report dated July 28, 2023; (ii) CNY 129,958,419, the book value of PST Technology's outstanding payable owed to the Company.

PST Technology, through its wholly owned subsidiaries, owns a 51% equity interest in Shanghai Onway and Shanghai Onway's subsidiaries which are principally engaged in the development of rural wastewater treatment technologies, the provision of equipment and materials for rural wastewater treatment, undertaking EPC and PPP projects in relation to rural wastewater treatment, and the provision of consulting and professional technical services. After PST Technology's disposition, the Company discontinued the operation in wastewater treatment segment and continue engaging in the exploration and mining business.

The description of the PSTT SPA is qualified in its entirety by reference to the PST SPA and the letter between Feishang Group and the Company, dated July 28, 2023, a copy of which has been filed as Exhibit 4.18 of our Annual Report on Form 20-F for Fiscal 2024.

**Acquisition of Williams Minerals (Pvt) Ltd ("Williams Minerals")**

On February 27, 2023, the Company entered into the Sale and Purchase Agreement ("Zimbabwe SPA") with Feishang Group, Top Pacific (China) Limited ("Top Pacific"), Mr. Li Feilie and Mr. Yao Yuguang, to indirectly acquire all interests in Williams Minerals, which owns the mining permit for a Zimbabwean lithium mine. At the time of the entry into the Zimbabwe SPA, Feishang Group owned 70% of Williams Minerals, and Top Pacific, a non-affiliate, owned the remaining 30%. Under the Zimbabwe SPA, it is expected that the Company will indirectly acquire all interests in Williams Minerals in the second fiscal quarter of 2023, and that the Company's "ownership" (which, as defined in the Zimbabwe SPA, relates to its legal possession and control) of the Zimbabwean lithium mine will vest cumulatively, region by region from 2024 through 2026, contingent upon the issuance of independent technical reports and the Company's full settlement of the purchase consideration in cash and restricted shares. For each relevant region of the lithium mine, until the Company's legal possession and control vests, the Sellers will maintain legal possession and control, including the right of exploration, sale of lithium, and the revenue derived therefrom, as well as liability for operational costs and third-party claims.

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Zimbabwe SPA, the Company plans to issue restricted shares as 50% of the consideration for the Acquisition, with the remaining 50% of the consideration comprised of a promissory note and/or cash, for maximum consideration of US$1.75 billion (3.5 million estimated tons of measured, indicated and inferred resources of lithium oxide (grade 1.06% or above in accordance with the standard under the Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves) priced at US$500 per ton). The Company may issue restricted CHNR shares at a discount to the market price to secure a portion of the required capital. On April 14, 2023, the Company announced that it completed its due diligence investigation with satisfactory results and decided to proceed with the Acquisition. The Company paid an aggregate of $35 million by way of promissory notes (instead of cash) as a deposit as a deposit on April 21, 2023, and will pay an aggregate of $140 million by way of promissory notes and/or cash as an initial installment.

Completion of the Acquisition is contingent upon the satisfaction of a number of conditions, including, among other things, the transfer of ownership interests in Williams Minerals from the Sellers to the intermediate holding company; the issuance of independent technical reports, the actual quantity of qualified lithium oxide metal resources proven or estimated to exist in each mining area covered by the relevant report, and the Company's full settlement of the purchase consideration in cash and restricted shares. There is no guarantee that the Acquisition will close or be completed at the anticipated valuation and terms, or at all.

**HOUSEHOLDING OF ANNUAL MEETING MATERIALS**

The SEC has adopted rules that permit companies and intermediaries such as brokers to satisfy delivery requirements for proxy or Information Statements with respect to two or more shareholders sharing the same address by delivering a single proxy or Information Statement addressed to those shareholders. This process, which is commonly referred to as "householding," potentially provides extra convenience for shareholders and cost savings for companies. We and certain brokers household proxy materials, delivering a single proxy or Information Statement to multiple shareholders sharing an address unless contrary instructions have been received from the affected shareholders. Once you have received notice from your broker or us that they are or we will be householding materials to your address, householding will continue until you are notified otherwise or until you revoke your consent. If, at any time, you no longer wish to participate in householding and would prefer to receive a separate proxy or Information Statement, or if you currently receive multiple proxy or information statements and would prefer to participate in householding, please notify your broker if your shares are held in a brokerage account or us if you hold registered shares. You can notify us by sending a written request to Corporate Secretary, China Natural Resources, Inc., Room 2205, 22/F, West Tower, Shun Tak Centre, 168-200 Connaught Road Central, Sheung Wan, Hong Kong.
