Capital Increase Exercise

Right Issue: At the Annual General Meeting No.11/2005, shareholders
voted to approve the Company’s proposed capital increase of Baht
151,387,893 by issuing a new common share of 151,387,893 shares at Baht
1 par value and allocated to the existing shareholders at the ratio of 4
old shares for 1 new share. On 12 April 2005, the Company registered an
increase of its paid-up shares with the Ministry of Commerce from Baht
605,551,570 to Baht 756,939,463.

The above capital increase exercise was commenced and completed to
provide funds for the Company’s Gold mine project in Loei province.

(b) The Company listing status:

The Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) notified the Company (THL) in
November 1997 that the Company was not generating sufficient revenue
from its core business of tin mining. Subsequently, THL’s shares were
suspended from trading. The Company undertook restructuring and
improvement of its business activities in accordance with SET
directives. In January 2003, a first batch of 6 gold mining licenses
were granted and two months later in March, the SET allowed the
Company’s shares to resume trading under the Rehabilitation Companies
(REHABCO) sector.

Nevertheless, on November 14, 2005, the SET posted the “SP” sign and
moved the Company’s share to the Non Performing Group because the
Company was unable to achieve positive operating results within the
predetermined time (the third quarter of 2006) due to slow progress in
obtaining development financing from financial institutions for its gold
mining project in Loei.

In the year of 2006, Tungkum’s gold operations underwent commissioning
and be officially commenced commercial operations from September 2006
onward. Gold production aided in turning Company operations from the red
to marginal profitable at the end of 2006 which was a special occasion
as Tongkah Harbour Public Company Limited marked 100 years of continuous
operations in the mining business.

On 4 May 2007, with profitable operations for 2006, the Stock Exchange
of Thailand reinstated the Company’s security trading.
