4.4.3 JORC Code Compliant Estimated Ore Reserves, Mineral Resources and Target MineralisationThe available K3 seam channel data was modelled using an ID 2 algorithm with Minemap software.

Proved Reserves have been defined as those within a maximum search radius of 100m. The volume from the Measured Resource estimate was then discounted by 15% to allow for mining and pillar losses and a further 128,308t was deducted for accounted production. No further dilution or mining losses were applied.

Probable Reserves have been defined as the Indicated resources within a 100 – 200m search radius around the Proved Reserves where the Indicated resource estimate was

Inferred Resources were defined as the resources within a 200-500m search radius. Any remaining potential coal outside the 500m envelope within the Mining Permit and confined within the outcrop of the mapped coal seams was then classified as Target Mineralisation with its volume discounted to 80%.

Target Mineralisation was estimated for K1, K2, K4 and K5 seams.

The results of this estimation are presented in Tables 28 to 30 (Fig 13).

Table 30: Heiwan Mine Summary of Target Mineralisation Estimates.

The recent SGS assay data shows an average CV of 6,155 kcal/kg with 2.24% ar moisture, 24.8% ash, 0.87% total sulphur and 0.024% P2O5. Future production is anticipated to have similar quality. Current K3 seam Reserves are 0.9 million tonnes and Resources 1.0 million tonnes for a total of 1.9 million tonnes.

Target Mineralisation ranges between 5.8 – 6.4 million tonnes for seam K1, 2, 4 and 5 with the range for quality parameters anticipated to be from 5,300-6,100kcal/kg with 2.0 – 3.0% ar moisture, 22.0-28.0%ash, total sulphur from 0.3 – 3.0% and phosphorous from 0.005 – 0.010% P2O5.

The Target Mineralisation is conceptual in nature since there has been insufficient exploration to define a mineral resource

under JORC guidelines. It is uncertain whether further exploration will result in the determination of a mineral resource so this conceptual target may or may not be outlined with future work, either in whole or in part.

4.5 Reserves PotentialHeiwan Mine utilises standard production techniques with drifts developed off adit access and retreat mining with caving. Current approved production capacity was 40,000t per year with a planned 85% extraction of reserves.

Recorded coal production in 2009 from K3 coal seam was approximately 60,000t with a recovery rate of 86%. Reconciliation of production to 2008 indicates 70,000t was drawn from reserves with 10,000t lost as unaccounted or left in pillars.

Conversion of the remaining resources to reserves requires some drilling followed by underground development.

4.6 Proposed Exploration ProgramOnly the south eastern portion of the Mining Permit requires limited drilling to resolve coal seam potential with confidence.Underlying the Mining Permit at depth is Permian coal seam potential that requires exploration drilling to establish whether extraction via a vertical shaft system is feasible.

Plans have already been implemented to expand production capacity. Remaining items for feasibility studies are coal washing facilities and overhead transportation from the elevated mine sites down to the main road level prior to trucking to port.

The current combined average profit margin is A$33.8 (RMB213) for the period from 1 November 2009 to 30 April 2010 with distinct indications of improvement that will come from the expansion efficiencies and possible increase in margins if washing plants are installed.

The mines and environs both have additional exploration merit since they are situated over ground that has not been subjected to systematic, modern exploration methodology.

During Year 1 desk top studies followed by targeted mapping and infill drilling will be used to identify additional potentially exploitable ground.

Drilling of selected areas will continue during Year 2.

Yours faithfully,

Allen J. Maynard

8.0 coal information and dEfinitionSTypes of coalCoal can be broadly classified into two types based on application:Thermal coal or steaming coal: principally used as a solid fuel to generate electricity and heat.

Metallurgical coal or coking coal: used to produce coke, which is used as a fuel and reducing agent in the smelting of iron ore to produce steel.

Coal also comes in four main types or ranks, the characteristics of which are predominantly affected by moisture, volatile content and carbon content:Anthracite: a hard black coal with a high carbon content (92 – 98%) and high energy density.

Bituminous coal: a soft black coal that can be used for thermal or metallurgical applications.

Sub-bituminous coal: a soft black coal with an energy density lower than that of bituminous coal and the most common type of coal used for electricity generation.

Lignite: a brown coal with a high moisture content and low energy density, used almost exclusively for electricity generation.

MoistureThe moisture content of coal varies by type of coal, the region where it is mined and the location of coal within a seam. The moisture content of coal is related to the energy content. In general, high moisture content decreases the energy content and increases the weight of the coal, thereby making it more expensive to transport. Moisture content in coal, as sold, can range from approximately 5 – 30% for bituminous and sub-bituminous coal to up to 45% for lignite.Total moisture is analysed by loss of mass between an untreated sample and the sample once heated and analysed. When analysing a coal sample, the analysis results need to account for moisture content. Results are typically reported as either:'as received' (ar) – as a percentage of the coal including the total moisture content; i.e. including both the surface and the air-dried moisture content of the coal;

'air dried basis' (adb – as a percentage of the air-dried coal; i.e. including the air-dried moisture but not the surface moisture;

'dry basis' (db or dry) – as a percentage of the coal after all moisture has been removed; and

'dry ash-free' (daf) – as a percentage of the volatile matter and fixed carbon components of the coal, with moisture and ash removed.

Prospectus l blackgold international holdings limited 97

Energy contentThe energy content of coal is typically measured as the heat released on complete combustion in air or oxygen, expressed as the amount of heat per unit weight. It is usually expressed in units of kilocalories per kilogram (kcal/kg). Energy content is affected by moisture content. Generally a higher energy content means a higher economic value, particularly for thermal coal.

Volatile matterVolatile matter in coal refers to the components of coal (excluding water) that are liberated at high temperatures in the absence of air. This is usually a mixture of short and long chain hydrocarbons, aromatic hydrocarbons and some sulphur. The volatile matter of coal is determined by heating the coal sample under controlled conditions.

Ash contentAsh is the inorganic residue remaining after the combustion of coal. It is an important characteristic of coal because electricity generators must handle and dispose of ash following combustion. Coal with a lower ash content is therefore considered to be of higher quality. Analysis is fairly straightforward, with the coal thoroughly burnt and the ash material expressed as a percentage of the original weight.

Fixed carbonThe fixed carbon content of coal is the carbon remaining after volatile materials are driven off. This differs from ultimate carbon content because some carbon is lost with the volatile materials as hydrocarbons. Fixed carbon is used as an estimate of the amount of coke that will be yielded from a sample of coal. Fixed carbon is determined by subtracting the moisture, ash and volatile matter content from the original mass of the coal sample.

Sulphur contentLow sulphur coal is generally characterised as coal with a sulphur content of 1% or less by weight. In many countries,

environmental controls restrict sulphur emissions by electricity generators. Low sulphur coal therefore offers environmental and economic advantages over high sulphur coal and reduces the need for flue gas desulphurisation. Coking coal requires a maximum sulphur content of 0.8%, because higher values affect steel quality.

Proximate analysisThis is the determination of moisture, ash, volatile matter and fixed carbon and is quoted along with the gross calorific value (ad), total sulphur and sometimes the phosphorous content. The other key parameters of crucible swelling index, ash softening temperature, ash fusion temperature and Hardgrove Grindability Index ("HGI") are often analysed and quoted with proximate analysis results.

Ultimate AnalysisThis entails determination on a daf basis of carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, carbonates, phosphorous and chlorine on a percentage basis.

Ash ConstituentsThis entails analysis on a percentage basis of SiO2, Al2O3, Fe2O3, TiO2, CaO, MgO, Na2O, K2O, P2O5, Mn3O4, SO3, and the SiO2: Al2O3 ratio.

Calorific

DensityIs determined on an ad basis.

Petrographic Parameters – Maceral AnalysisThis is a microscopic analysis to determine on a percentage basis the coal mineral components that are vitrinite, exinite, micrinite, semi-fusinite, fusinite, and mineral matter as well as quoting the reactives to inerts ratio.

management dIscussIon and analysIs of hIstorIcal fInancIal InformatIon

Period ended 31 October 2009 compared to year ended 31 December 2008 Revenue increased substantially by RMB91,969,000 or 211% from 2008 to 2009. However, considering the financial period ended 31 October 2009 covers a period of 10 months, the increase is equivalent to an increase of 273% calculated on an annualised basis. This increase is contributed by two

factors. Firstly, production output at Caotang Mine increased substantially following completion of a technical upgrade in the end of 2008. Secondly, coal prices were generally higher in 2009 than in 2008. There was no material change in the nature or quantum of expenses during this period. Increases in expense items are the result of an increase in the level of business activity as is reflected in the increased revenue.

summary of sIgnIfIcant accountIng polIcIes Significant accounting policies adopted by the Group in preparing the Financial Information are summarised below: (a) Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements Estimates and judgements are currently evaluated by Directors and are based on historical experience and the best available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events and are based on information obtained both externally and internally: (i) Depreciation of Property, Plant and Equipment The cost of property, plant and equipment is depreciated on a straight-line basis over their economic useful lives estimated to be within 3-10 years, net of residual value. The carrying amounts of these assets of the Combined Group were approximately RMB39,974,000, RMB41,860,000 and RMB57,616,000 ($9,121,000) as at 31 December 2008, 31 October 2009 and 30 April 2010 respectively. Changes in the expected level of usage and technological developments could impact the economic useful lives and the residual values of these assets, therefore future depreciation could be revised. (ii) Carrying Value of Non-Current Assets Non-current assets, including property, plant and equipment, land use rights and mining rights are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation/ amortisation. These carrying amounts are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs to sell and value-in-use. In estimating the recoverable amounts of assets, various assumptions, including future cash flows to be associated with the non-

current assets and discount rates, are made. If future events do not correspond to such assumptions, the recoverable amounts will need to be revised, and this may have an impact on the Combined Group's results of operations or financial position. (iii) Net Realisable Value of Inventories Net realisable value of inventories is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion and selling expenses. These estimates are based on the current market condition and the historical experience of selling products of similar nature. It could change significantly as a result of competitor actions in response to severe industry cycles. Management reassesses the estimations at the balance sheet date. (iv) Provision for Close-down, Restoration and Environmental Costs The provision for close-down, restoration and environmental costs is determined by management based on their past experience and best estimation of future expenditures, after taking into account existing relevant PRC regulations. However, in so far as the effect on the land and the environment from current mining activities becomes apparent in future years, the estimate of the associated costs may be subject to revision from time to time. (v) Reserve Estimates Reserves are estimates of the amount of product that can be economically and legally extracted from the Combined Group's properties. In order to calculate reserves, estimates and assumptions are required about a range of geological, technical and economic factors, including quantities, grades, production techniques, recovery rates, production costs, transport costs, commodity demand and commodity prices.

Prospectus l blackgold international holdings limited 113

Estimating the quantity and/or grade of reserves requires the size, shape and depth of ore bodies or fields to be determined by analysing geological data such as drilling samples. This process may require complex and difficult geological judgements and calculations to interpret the data. Because the economic assumptions used to estimate reserves changes from period to period, and because additional geological data is generated during the course of operations, estimates of reserves may change from period to period. Changes in reported reserves may affect the Combined Group's financial results and financial position in a number of ways, including the following: v Asset carrying values may be affected due to changes in estimated future cash flows. v Depreciation, depletion and amortisation charged in the statement of comprehensive income may change where such charges are determined by the units of production basis, or where the useful economic lives of assets change. v Decommissioning, site restoration and environmental provisions may change where changes in estimated reserves affect expectations about the timing or cost of these activities. v The carrying value of deferred tax assets may change due to changes in estimates of the likely recovery of the tax benefits. (b) Functional and Presentation Currency The individual financial statements of each entity in the Combined Group are presented in the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates, which is the functional currency. The combined financial statements are presented in RMB, which is the Combined Group's functional currency.

For the purposes of the Historical and Proforma financial information, the presentation currency used is Australian Dollars. The financial results and financial position of foreign entities whose functional currency is different to the presentation currency are translated as follows: v Assets and liabilities are translated at year end exchange rates prevailing at reporting date. At 30 April 2010, the exchange rate used was $1 = RMB 0.158; and v Income and expenses, and items appearing in the Historical Statement of Cash Flow are translated at the average exchange rate for the period. The average exchange rate used was $1 = RMB 0.1607. (c) Basis of Consolidation The combined financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Group Operating Companies or the Subsidiaries (as the case may be) for the Relevant Financial Periods. Consistent accounting policies are applied for like transactions and events in similar circumstances. All significant intra-group balances, transactions, income and expenses and profits and losses resulting from intra-group transactions are eliminated in full. The Historical and Proforma Financial Information for the Relevant Periods have been prepared in accordance with the principles of the pooling of interests method. This method has been used on the basis that the business combination involving the entities comprising the Combined Group involves entities and businesses under common control. Consequently, the requirements of AASB 3 / IFRS 3 – Business Combinations, has not been applied.

Under the pooling of interests method, the acquirer accounts for the combination as follows: v The assets and liabilities of the combining entities are recorded at their carrying amounts reported in the combined financial statements and not at fair value. v Intangible assets and contingent liabilities are only recognised to the extent that they were recognised by the acquiree in accordance with applicable IFRS. v No goodwill is recorded. The difference between the acquirer's cost of investment and the acquiree's equity is presented separately as a reserve. v Any expenses of the combination are written off immediately in the statement of comprehensive income. v Comparatives are presented as if the entities had always been combined since the date the entities had come under common control. The statement of comprehensive income reflects the results of the combining entities for the full year, irrespective of when the combination takes place. Consolidation of the entities incorporated in the PRC is based on the entities' financial statements prepared in accordance with the IFRS, which may differ from those reflected in the PRC statutory financial statements of the entities. In accordance with the relevant laws and regulations, profit available for distribution by the PRC entities is based on the amounts stated in the PRC statutory financial statements. (d) Property, Plant and Equipment (i) Owned Assets Items of property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. The cost of an asset comprises its purchase price and any directly attributable costs of bringing the asset to the location and condition for its intended use.

(ii) Depreciation Depreciation is provided on the straight-line basis so as to write off the cost of property, plant and equipment net of the estimated residual values over their estimated useful lives as follows:

Building and mining structures (including the main and auxiliary mine shafts and underground tunnels) are depreciated based on the units of production method utilising only recoverable coal reserves as the depletion base. Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed, and adjusted as appropriate, at each reporting date. (iii) Cost Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. The cost of replacing part of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised in the carrying amount of the item if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within the part will flow to the Combined Group and its cost can be measured reliably. The costs of the day-to-day servicing of the property, plant and equipment are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income when incurred.

Fully depreciated assets are retained in the combined financial statements until they are no longer in use. The gain or loss on disposal or retirement of an item of property, plant and equipment recognised in the statement of comprehensive income is the difference between the net sale proceeds and the carrying amount of the relevant asset. (iv) Construction Work-In-Progress Mining structure under construction is recognised at cost and not depreciated. Upon completion of construction, the initial cost will be transferred to the cost of buildings or plant. Revenue generated from the production of saleable material directly attributable to bringing the asset to the condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by Management is deducted from capitalised construction work in progress. (e) Land Use Rights Land use rights are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses and are amortised based on the units of production method utilising only recoverable coal reserves as the depletion base. (f) Mining Rights Mining rights are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses and are amortised based on the units of production method utilising only recoverable coal reserves as the depletion base.

(g) Inventories Inventories are carried at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined on the weighted average basis and comprises all cost of purchases, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated cost of completion and the estimated cost necessary to make the sale. When inventories are sold, the carrying amount of those inventories is recognised as an expense in the period in which the related revenue is recognised. The amount of any write-down of inventories to net realisable value and all losses of inventories are recognised as an expense in the period the write-down or loss occurs. The amount of any reversal of any write-down of inventories, arising from an increase in net realisable value, is recognised in the combined statements of comprehensive income in the period in which the reversal occurs. (h) Trade and Other Receivables Trade and other receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses. An allowance for impairment of receivables is established when there is objective evidence that the Combined Group will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables. (i) Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand, bank balances with financial institutions, deposits pledged with financial institutions, bank overdrafts and short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

on a pro rata basis. The recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. In assessing value-in-use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset or cash-generating unit. Impairment losses recognised in prior periods are assessed at each reporting date for any indications that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset's carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of accumulated depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised. (k) Issued Capital Issued capital is classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from proceeds. Dividends on shares are recognised as liabilities when approved for appropriation. (l) Statutory Reserves In accordance with relevant PRC regulations, entities are required to transfer a portion of their net profit to the statutory reserve until the cumulative reserve reaches 50% of their registered capital. The transfer to this reserve must be made before the payment of dividends to shareholders.

(j) Impairment (i) Impairment of Financial Assets At each reporting date, an assessment is made as to whether there is objective evidence that a financial instrument has been impaired. An impairment loss in respect of a financial asset measured at amortised cost is calculated as the difference between its carrying amount, and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the original effective interest rate. Individually significant financial assets are tested for impairment on an individual basis. An impairment loss is reversed if the reversal can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised. For financial assets measured at amortised cost, the reversal is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income. (ii) Impairment of Non-Financial Assets The carrying amounts of the Combined Group's non-financial assets are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, the assets' recoverable amounts are estimated. An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or its cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount. A cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable asset group that generates cash flows that largely are independent from other assets and groups. Impairment losses are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income. Impairment losses recognised in respect of cash-generating units are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the units and then to reduce the carrying amount of the other assets in the unit (group of units)

The statutory reserve can only be used to set off against losses or to increase the capital of the entity. The entity may convert its statutory common reserve into share capital provided that the remaining balance of such reserve is not less than 25% of the registered capital of the entity. (m) Trade & Other Payables and Accruals Trade and other payables represent the liability outstanding at the end of the reporting period for goods and services received during the reporting period which remains unpaid. The balance is recognised as a current liability with the amount being paid within normal credit terms of 30 to 90 days. (n) Provisions Provisions are recognised when the Combined Group has a present obligation as a result of a past event where it is probable that it will result in an outflow of economic benefits that can be reasonably estimated. (o) Provisions for Closedown, Restoration and Environmental Costs Closedown and restoration costs include the dismantling and demolition of infrastructure and the removal of residual materials and remediation of disturbed areas. Closedown and restoration costs are provided in the accounting period when the obligation arising from the related disturbance occurs, whether this occurs during mine development or during the production phase, based on the net present value of estimated future costs. The cost is capitalised where it gives rise to future benefits, whether the rehabilitation activity is expected to occur over the life of the operation or at the time of close down. The capitalised cost is amortised over the life of the operation and the increase in the net present value of the provision is included in borrowing costs.

Where there is a change in the expected decommissioning and restoration costs, an adjustment is recorded against the carrying value of the provision and related assets, and the effect is then recognised in the combined statements of comprehensive income on a prospective basis over the remaining life of the operations. Provisions for close down and restoration costs do not include any additional obligations which are expected to arise from future disturbance. The cost estimates are reviewed and revised at each balance sheet date to reflect changes in conditions. (p) Effective Interest Method The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial instrument and of allocating interest income or expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts and payments (including all fees on points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the financial instruments or where appropriate, a shorter period. Income or expense is recognised on an effective interest basis for debt instruments. (q) Financial Instruments FinancialAssets Financial assets are recognised in the statement of financial position when, and only when, the Combined Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument. All regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on the trade date i.e. the date that the Combined Group commits to purchase the asset or sell the asset. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the period generally established by regulation or convention in the marketplace concerned.

(r) Derecognition of Financial Assets and Liabilities (i) Financial Assets Financial assets are derecognised from the statements of financial position when the Combined Group has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership. (ii) Financial Liabilities A financial liability is derecognised from the statements of financial position when the obligation under the liability is discharged, cancelled or expired. (s) Revenue Recognition Provided it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Combined Group and the revenue and costs, if applicable, can be measured reliably, revenue is recognised in the statements of comprehensive income as follows: (i) Sale of Goods Revenue is recognised when goods are delivered to the customers' premises or collected by the customers at the Combined Group's premises which is taken to be the point in time when the customer has accepted the goods and the related risks and rewards of ownership. (ii) Interest Income Interest income is recognised on a time proportion basis using the effective interest method. (t) Employee Benefits The Combined Group participates in the national pension schemes as defined by the laws of the PRC in which it has operations. Contributions to national pension schemes are recognised as an expense in the period

(i) Classification The Combined Group classifies its investments in financial assets in the following categories: financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables, held-to-maturity investments, and available-for-sale financial assets. The classification depends on the purpose for which the assets were acquired. Management determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition and re-evaluates this designation at every reporting date, with the exception that the designation of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss is not revocable. As at the reporting date, the Combined Group did not have any financial assets in the category of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, held-to-maturity investments and available- for-sale financial assets. (ii) Loans and Receivables Non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market are classified as loans and receivables. Such assets are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Gains and losses are recognised in combined statements of comprehensive income when the loans and receivables are derecognised or impaired, as well as through the amortisation process. FinancialLiabilities Financial liabilities within the scope of IAS 39 are classified as either financial liabilities measured at amortised cost such as interest-bearing liabilities and trade and other payables, or financial liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss.

in which the related service is performed. Companies incorporated in the PRC are required to provide certain staff pension benefits for their employees under existing PRC legislation. Pension contributions are provided at rates stipulated by the PRC legislation and are contributed to a pension fund managed by government agencies, which are responsible for paying pensions to the retired employees. These benefits are accounted for on an accrual basis and charged to the statements of comprehensive income when incurred. These national pension schemes are dealt with as payments to defined contribution plans where the Combined Group's obligations under the plans are equivalent to those arising in a defined contribution retirement benefit plan. (u) Finance Costs Interest expense and similar charges are expensed to the statements of comprehensive income in the period in which they are incurred. The interest component of the interest-bearing liabilities is recognised in the statements of comprehensive income using the effective interest method. (v) Income Taxes (i) Current Tax Income tax on the results for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax is recognised in the statements of comprehensive income except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in equity, in which case it is recognised in equity. Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous financial years.

(ii) Deferred Tax Deferred tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the combined financial statements. Deferred tax is, however, not recognised on temporary differences arising from the initial recognition of assets or liabilities that affect neither accounting nor taxable profit. The amount of deferred tax provided is based on the expected manner of realisation or settlement of the carrying amount of assets and liabilities, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date. A deferred tax asset is recognised to the extent that it is probable that sufficient future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised. (iii) Value-added-tax ("VAT") The Combined Group's sale of goods in the PRC are subject to VAT at the applicable tax rate of 17% (31.12.2008 – 13%) for the PRC domestic sales. Input tax on purchases can be deducted from output VAT. (w) Comparative information The financial year end for the Combined Group was changed to 31 October each year with effect from the financial year commencing 1 January 2009. The first financial period following this change is for the 10 months financial period from 1 January 2009 to 31 October 2009. Subsequent financial years will commence 1 November in each calendar year and end 31 October the following calendar year.F

To the Board of DirectorsBlackgold International Holdings LimitedPrincipal Office12th floor, No. 18 Mian Hua Street, Yu Zhong District, Chongqing City, People's Republic China, Postal Code 40011

Re: SOLICITOR'S RePORT ON TeNeMeNTS

Dear Board,We are qualified to practice law in the People's Republic of China ("PRC") (which, for the purposes of this report, excludes the Hong Kong and Macau Special Administrative Regions of the PRC and Taiwan). We have acted as PRC legal counsel to Blackgold International Holdings Limited ACN 145 095 478 ("Blackgold" or the "Company") in connection with the proposed offer of 225,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares ("Shares") at an application price of $0.26. per Share, comprising an offer of 187,500,000 new Shares by the Company to raise $48,750,000 and 37,500,000 Shares by Lucky Magic Enterprises Limited and Prima Network Financial Group Limited ("Vendor Shareholders"), with the right to accept over-applications of up to 45,000,000 Shares at an application price of $0.26 per Share, comprising the issue of up to 37,500,000 new Shares by the Company to raise up to an additional $9,750,000 and the sale of up to 7,500,000 Shares by the Vendor Shareholders (together, the "Offer").

2.0 ReLATeD PRC LAWS

China's coal industry is subject to extensive regulations by the PRC government. These regulations govern a wide range of areas, including, but not limited to, investments, exploration, production, mining rights, distribution, trading, transportation and exports relating to coal, and investments, generation, pricing, despatch and tariffs relating to power. In addition, coal operations are subject to fees and taxes, as well as safety and environmental protection laws and regulations. Set out below is a summary of the basic structure of the PRC legal system relating to the Tenements. For more detailed information on the PRC legal system please refer to Annexure A of the Prospectus.

2.1 The laws and regulations regarding mineral resources and coal resourcesThe Mineral Resources Law of the PRC (the "MRL") was promulgated on 19 March 1986 and amended on 29 August 1996. The purpose of the MRL is to regulate prospecting, reconnaissance, exploration and mining activities in relation to all types of mineral resources except water within the territory of PRC. In light of the specific conditions and actual needs of respective administrative areas, local regulations, such as the Chongqing Mineral Resources Regulations ("Chongqing MRR", referred to in 3.2(a)), may be formulated, provided that such regulations do not contradict the Constitution, the laws of PRC and any administrative regulations.

The Coal Law of the PRC ("Coal Law") became effective on 1 December 1996 and was amended on 27 August 2009. The purpose of the Coal Law is to regulate the production of coal, including, among others, exploration, the approval of new mines, the issuance of production permits, the implementation of safety standards, the trading of coal and the protection of mining areas from destructive exploitation, the protection of miners and administrative supervision.

The Measures for the Regulation of Coal Operations ("MRCO") were promulgated by the National Development and Reform

Commission (the "NDRC") on 27 December 2004. NDRC implemented the MRCO as a system to examine coal operation qualifications in respect of coal operations, including the wholesaling and retailing of raw coal and processed coal products, and the processing and distribution of coal for civilian use.

The Decision on the Institutional Reform of Investment System ("DIRIS") was promulgated by the PRC State Council on 16 July 2004. According to the DIRIS, applications for all coal mine development projects within PRC of State planning level are required to be submitted to the NDRC for approval, while others of general planning level are to be submitted to the competent investment department of local governments.

2.2 The laws and regulations regarding pricing of coalSince 2002, the prices for all types of coal other than thermal coal have been largely subject to market forces. However, according to the Price Law issued by National People's Congress (the "NPC") and effected on 1 May 1998, temporary guidelines can be issued by the NPC, from time to time, to limit price increases if the price of thermal coal increases significantly or is likely to increase significantly. No such temporary guidelines are in effect at the date of this Report.

2.3 The laws and regulations regarding safetyAccording to the Safety Production Law effected on 1 November 2002, the Mining Safety Law effected on 1 May 1993 and relevant regulations the following applies:v The State Administration of Work Safety (the "SAWS") and the State Administration of Coal Mine Safety (the "SACMS") under the supervision of the SAWS are the PRC government authorities exercising control over, and supervision of, the safety of coal production. v In order to proceed with the construction of a coal mine project, the project's safety designs and procedures must be examined and approved by the SACMS or its local offices. Upon the completion of a coal mine construction project and before the commencement of production,

Prospectus l blackgold international holdings limited 129

further inspection and approval by the SACMS or its local offices of the facilities and conditions is required. The SACMS also conducts regular safety inspections of coal producers. v In addition, mining companies are required to truthfully report to their supervising labor administrative authority within 24 hours of the occurrence of any safety accident that causes serious personal injuries or fatalities. v Each operating coal mine is required to apply for a coal production safety permit from the SACMS or its provincial bureau. A coal production safety permit is valid for an initial period of three years, after which it may be renewed.v Penalties for infringements: If a mining company fails to perform its duty of administering production safety according to the provisions of the present law, it shall be ordered to mend up within a prescribed time period. If a mining company fails to mend up within the prescribed time period, it shall be ordered to suspend construction or suspend production or business for rectifications, and may be fined. If serious consequences have resulted and a crime has been constituted, the offenders shall be subject to criminal liabilities according to the relevant provisions of the Criminal Law.

2.4 The laws and regulations regarding taxationPursuant to the "Provisional Regulation of Resources Tax" and the "Rules Administering Levy of Mine Resource Compensation Fees", the coal industry has been levied resources taxes and resources compensation fees. The mine resource compensation fee is calculated according to the formula of "the income of mine for sale of coal product multiplied by the applicable mine resource compensation fee rate". Since 2004, the Ministry of Finance and the State Administration of Taxation have issued a series of notices on coal resources taxation adjustments. The coal resources tax rates of certain regions, such as Shanxi province, Qinghai province, Inner Mongolia autonomous region, Guizhou province, Fujian province, Shandong province, Yunnan province, Ningxia Hui autonomous region, Chongqing

municipality, Anhui province, Henan province, Tianjin municipality, Hunan province and Hubei province, have been increased. The current resources tax rate for the mining of coal in Chongqing is RMB 2.5 yuan per tonne of coal produced.

2.5 The laws and regulations regarding environmental protectionThe Environmental Protection Law of PRC (the "EPL") was adopted on 26 December 1989. The EPL requires all operations that produce pollutants or other hazards to take environmental protection measures, and to establish an environmental protection responsibility system.

The Water Pollution Prevention Law was promulgated on 11 May 1984 and revised on 15 May 1996 and 28 February 2008 respectively. Any enterprise or institution that discharges water pollutants is subject to a discharge fee in accordance with relevant regulations and an excess-pollutant discharge fee in case of discharges in excess of the prescribed level and must take corrective measures. Any entity that causes water pollution is obliged to ensure the elimination of the pollution and must provide compensation for direct losses suffered by entities or individuals.

The Atmospheric Pollution Prevention Law was promulgated on 5 September 1987 and revised on 29 April 2000 and became effective on 1 September 2000. The purpose of the Atmospheric Pollution Prevention Law is for the prevention and control of atmospheric pollution from, among other things, the burning of coal, motor-driven vehicles and vessels, exhaust gases and dust. A system of collecting fees has been implemented by the government for discharging pollutants on the basis of the categories and quantities of the atmospheric pollutants discharged. Any entity that has caused an atmospheric pollution hazard is obliged to eliminate the pollution and compensate relevant entities or individuals for their direct loss.

Penalties for infringements: Any company which violates any of the aforesaid laws and regulations, thereby causing an environmental pollution accident, is obliged to eliminate it and make compensation to the entity or individual that suffered direct losses; and such entities shall be fined (such fine being dependent upon the relevant damage) by the competent department of environmental protection administration or any other department with power to conduct environmental supervision and management; in serious cases, the responsible persons shall be subject to administrative sanctions by the entity that employs them or by the competent department of the government. In the most serious cases, offenders shall be subject to criminal liabilities according to the relevant provisions of the Criminal Law.

Any company that has failed to eliminate or control pollution by the applicable deadline shall, as provided for by the State, pay a fee for excessive discharge; in addition, a fine may be imposed on it on the basis of the damage incurred, or the company may be ordered to suspend its operations or close down.

3. TeNeMeNTS

3.1 IntroductionMineral resources belong to the State. State ownership of mineral resources, either near the earth's surface or underground, shall not change with the alteration of ownership of, or the right to use, the land on which the mineral resources

are located. A person with a mining right shall have the right to apply for and be granted the right to use the land on which the mineral resources are located in accordance with applicable land use right laws.

A mining permit authorises the holder of the permit to mine within a designated mining area for a specified term. The holder shall pay resources taxes and resources compensation fees to the government as consideration for the right to mine. A permit holder may apply to the government to have the mining permit renewed 30 days before the expiry date of the mining permit.

A mining permit shall not be transferred unless the transfer is required because of the corporate activity of the permit holder including a merger, division, formation of an equity joint venture or contractual joint venture, sale of assets, or change of ownership of assets, subject in each case to obtaining any approval that is required under applicable laws.

If a person mines without a mining permit, they shall be ordered to stop mining and compensate for the losses caused; the mineral products and unlawful proceeds shall be confiscated; and the person may also be fined. If the person refuses to stop mining and thus causes damage to the mineral resources, the person who is directly responsible shall be investigated for criminal responsibility in accordance with the provisions of the Criminal Law.

Note 3.2 (a)In 2005, Caotang Mining started its technology transformation project to increase its production capacity from 60,000 to 210,000 tonnes (the "Project"). According to the Certification issued by Fengjie County Coal Industry Bureau on March 19, 2009, the Project was almost completed by the end of 2008, and was ready for inspection and approval in 2009.

At present, Caotang Mining currently holds the Coal Production Permit (No.205002360477) issued by Chongqing Economy Committee. The production capacity is 60,000 tonnes per year. The actual coal exploitation output of Caotang Mining for the Year 2007 was 232,000 tonnes, 215,500 tonnes for 2008, and 321,300 tonnes for the first ten months of 2009.

In the Statement on Coal Exploitation Output of Caotang Mining for the period from 2007 to October 2009 issued by Fengjie County Coal Industry Bureau on December 10, 2009, it is stated that the bureau "hereby confirms the actual coal exploitation output of such company for 2007, 2008 and January to October 2009." The mine has paid up the taxes and charges for its actual coal production for the year 2007, 2008 and the first ten months of 2009.

The MRL and the Chongqing MRR prohibit certain activities including mining without a mining permit, mining beyond the approved limits of the mining area and mining in a destructive way; and provide administrative penalties for such illegal mining activities. The MRL and the Chongqing MRR also prohibit "wasteful mining", but do not define what activities constitute wasteful mining. Consequently, it is unclear whether over production constitutes wasteful mining. Therefore, there is no clear administrative penalty to over production under current applicable PRC laws.

Based on the above, we are of the view that, although the actual coal exploitation yield of Caotang Mining from the Year 2007 to October 2009 exceeded the production capacity provided in the Coal Production Permit, the actual coal

exploitation yield for such period has been recognised by the relevant coal production administration authority. Caotang Mining has paid up all taxes and charges for such actual coal production. Accordingly, in our view, an administrative sanction or fine will not be imposed on Caotang Mining by the local mine administration bureau for its over production, unless the relevant legislation is amended or made clear to provide for such sanctions and fines, or the administration department clarifies or introduces penalty regulations imposing administrative sanctions or fines on over production.

The construction of the Project has been completed. Caotang Mining has now made an application to obtain the approval of the local mine administration bureau to increase the production capacity of Caotang Mining to 210,000 tonnes per year. By obtaining the aforesaid approval, the production capacity of Caotang Mining may increase to 210,000 tonnes per year. Caotang Mining may apply to have its Coal Production Permit renewed with a new production capacity of 210,000 tonnes per year.

In the event that Caotang Mining fails to obtain the aforesaid approval, it may only be able to continue to produce 60,000 tonnes per year but none of the permits will be revoked or cancelled by the regulatory authorities. Provided the Caotang Mining produces more than its approved production capacity in the future, it shall pay all related taxes or fines thereon and seek the relevant authority's recognition of the production in excess of its approved production. There is no certainty that such recognition can and will be obtained by Caotang Mining.

Note 3.2 (b)The mining permits for the Heiwan colliery are currently registered in the name of Chongqing Guoping Industrial (Group) Co., Ltd. (the "GP Group"). Heiwan Mining and GP Group have entered into a Mining Right Transfer Agreement and the Asset Transfer Agreement of Heiwan Colliery, under which Heiwan Mining has agreed to acquire the mining rights, assets and business with regard to the Heiwan mine from GP Group. Following the receipt of applicable government

approvals on 10 August 2010, Heiwan Mining will apply for new licences regarding the mining and production in relation to the Heiwan colliery.

Application for Mining Permit On November 2, 2009, Fengjie County Leading Group of Integration of Small Collieries submitted the Request for Instructions on Changing the Name of Chongqing Guoping Industrial (Group) Co., Ltd. Heiwan Mining (Feng Mei Zheng He Ban [2009] No.5) to the Office of Chongqing Leading Group of Integration of Collieries and set forth the following opinions: "GP Group decides to change Heiwan Mining to a legal person enterprise entity with independent legal person status and controlled directly by GP Group"; and "After the examination, as such application complies with the provisions in the Notice on Further Acceleration of the Integration Work of Collieries of the Government of Chongqing (Yu Fu [2009] No.2), we approve to submit their application to your office for further approval".

On November 3, 2009, Fengjie County Administration of Land Resources and Housing issued the Survey Form of Changing the Mining Right with respect to the change of GP Group's mining right of Heiwan colliery and set forth the following opinions: (a) this colliery is an independently reserved colliery planned by the approvals (Yu Fu Fa [2008] No.128 and Yu Fu [2009] No.2); (b) the production capacity of such mine is 60,000 tonnes per year, and the valid term is until January 8, 2011; (c) in accordance with the Pre-approval Notice on the Name (Yu Ming Cheng Yu He Zhun Zhun Zi [2009] Feng Gong Shang No.260161 ), this enterprise changed the name of mining enterprise from "Chongqing Guoping Industrial (Group) Co., Ltd. Heiwan Mining” to “Chongqing Guoping Heiwan Resources Development Co., Ltd."; (d) there is no existing mining right or resources dispute related to the designated mining area of such colliery; (e) during its operation, this colliery was not violating the laws, regulations and disciplines and has duly paid various legal taxes and fees; and (f) after preliminary review, the documents submitted by such colliery being true, we suggest approving the change.

On August 10, 2010, Chongqing Administration of Land Resources and Housing issued the Approval of the Mining Right Transfer([2010] No. 4) and set forth the following opinions: (a) after examination, the application dossiers of the Mining Right Transfer from GP Group to Heiwan Mining comply with the criterions of the Administrative Rules Governing the Mining Right Transfer, now we approve to the aforesaid Mining Right transfer; (b) the applicant shall register the Mining Right Transfer according to the Administrative Rules Governing the Registration of Mining Resource Exploiture in 60 days from receiving the approval.

In accordance with the Mining Right Transfer Agreement entered into by and between Heiwan Mining and GP Group on April 6, 2010, GP Group transferred its mining right of Heiwan Colliery Branch of GP Group ("Former Heiwan") to Heiwan Mining for a consideration of RMB 4,783,903 yuan. Upon the approval from Chongqing Administration of Land Resources and Housing on August 10, 2010, the aforesaid agreement and mining right transfer comes into effect.

According to the Confirmation signed by Heiwan Mining and GP Group on July 22, 2010, the purchase price under the Asset Transfer Agreement of Heiwan Colliery, which was RMB 4,874,260.62 yuan, included the purchase price under the Mining Right Transfer Agreement. Therefore the total amount to be paid by Heiwan Mining under the Asset Transfer Agreement of Heiwan Colliery and Mining Right Transfer Agreement was RMB 4,874,260.62 yuan.

In accordance with the Asset Transfer Agreement of Heiwan Colliery entered into by and between Heiwan Mining and GP Group on July 14, 2010, Heiwan Mining purchased relevant assets which had been used by Former Heiwan for its coal mining production, at a purchase price of RMB 4,874,260.62 yuan. Upon the completion of both parties' signature, the aforesaid agreement comes into effect.

The parties agreed to make the date after the day on which the receipt of all government approvals including the approval from Chongqing Administration of Land Resources and Housing or a mutual agreement date, as the expected delivery date (which as at the date of issuance of this Report cannot be determined). On the delivery date, the assets, the business and the employees of Former Heiwan related to its coal mining production business will be transferred to Heiwan Mining. Upon the completion of the aforesaid transfer on the delivery date, the aforesaid asset transfer comes into effect.

During the period from Oct 31st, 2009, the valuation date, to the expected delivery date, the gain or loss generated from the assets of Former Heiwan is enjoyed or born by Heiwan Mining.

Heiwan Mining and GP Group have entered into the Mining Right Transfer Agreement and the Asset Transfer Agreement of Heiwan Colliery. In our view, such Mining Right Transfer Agreement and Asset Transfer Agreement of Heiwan Colliery are legal. The Mining Right Transfer Agreement and mining right transfer come into effect upon the grant of the approval from Chongqing Administration of Land Resources and Housing. Heiwan Mining and GP Group shall register the Mining Right Transfer according to the Administrative Rules Governing the Registration of Mining Resource Exploiture in 60 days from receiving the aforesaid approval.

Further, the Asset Transfer Agreement comes into effect upon the completion of both parties' signature. Upon the receipt of all government approvals including the approval from Chongqing Administration of Land Resources and Housing on August 10, 2010, and the transfer of the assets being completed on the delivery date determined by the parties, Heiwan Mining will legally own all of the assets of the Heiwan colliery, including the mining permit.

Production at Heiwan MineAt present, GP Group currently holds the Coal Production Permit (No.205002360401) for the Heiwan mine issued by Chongqing Economy Committee. The production capacity is 40,000 tonnes per year. The actual coal exploitation output of Heiwan mine for the Year 2007 was 35,859 tonnes, 39,966 tonnes for 2008, and 59,819 tonnes for 2009. Accordingly, the actual coal exploitation yield of the Heiwan Mine in 2009 exceeded the annual production capacity provided in the Coal Production Permit.

By an Undertaking Letter issued by GP Group on July 13, 2010 to Heiwan Mining, GP Group agreed to be liable for all the administrative sanctions and all the losses Heiwan Mining may suffer because of any overproduction at Heiwan Mine by Former Heiwan before completions.

It is unclear whether over production constitutes wasteful mining which is prohibited by the MRL and Chongqing MRR. Therefore, there is no clear administrative sanction with respect to over production under current applicable PRC laws. Accordingly, in our view, an administrative sanction or fine will not be imposed on Heiwan Mining by the local mine administration bureau for the over production of Former Heiwan. Even if the relevant legislation is amended or made clear to provide for such sanctions and fines, or the administration department clarifies or introduces penalty regulations imposing administrative sanctions or fines on over production, GP Group will take responsible for all aforesaid administrative sanctions or fines pursuant to the Undertaking Letter.

4. CONCLUSIONSubject to the comments, qualifications and assumptions set out in this Report, we are of the opinion that as at the date of this Report, there is nothing to indicate that the Tenements are not in good standing, subject to the pending mining permit transfer and the Heiwan colliery asset transfer transactions between Heiwan Mining and GP Group.

5. CONSeNTSThis Report is solely for the benefit of the Company and the directors of the Company in connection with the above-described transaction. It may not be furnished to or relied upon by anyone else or used for any other purpose without prior written consent.

Grandall Legal Group (Shanghai) consents to being named as the authors of this Report.

Grandall Legal Group (Shanghai) has given, and has not before the lodgement of this Prospectus, withdrawn its consent to the inclusion of this Report in the Prospectus.

Application for Coal Production Permit We are of the view that Heiwan Mining may apply for a Coal Production Permit in relation to Heiwan colliery with the relevant government authority in accordance with applicable PRC laws after Heiwan Mining has obtained a mining permit for the Heiwan colliery in accordance with applicable PRC laws.

If Heiwan Mining fails to obtain a Coal Production Permit, it will be prohibited from producing coal. If coal production takes place without a Coal Production Permit, a fine will be imposed, illegal proceeds confiscated, and an order to stop production may be made by a competent government department.

Application for Safe Production Permit by Heiwan MiningWe are of the view that Heiwan Mining may apply for a Safe Production Permit in relation to Heiwan colliery with relevant government authority in accordance with applicable PRC laws after Heiwan Mining has obtained a mining permit for the Heiwan colliery in accordance with applicable PRC laws.

If Heiwan Mining fails to obtain a Safe Production Permit, it will be prohibited from producing coal. If coal production takes place without a Safe Production Permit, it shall be ordered to terminate the illegal activities or to close down production; its illegal proceeds will be confiscated and a fine will be imposed. If serious consequences have happened as a result of the illegal activities and a crime has been constituted, the offender shall assume criminal liabilities according to the relevant provisions of the Criminal Law.

Yours faithfully,

Grandall Legal Group (Shanghai)

SUMMARy Of ReLevANT LAWS AND RegULATIONS Of The PeOPLe'S RePUBLIC Of ChINAThe Company sets out below a summary of relevant PRC laws and regulations which affects the operations of the PRC Operating Companies in China.

1. PRC Legal SystemThe PRC legal system is based on the PRC Constitution and is made up of written laws, regulations and directives. Decided court cases do not constitute binding precedents in China.

The National People's Congress of China ("NPC") and the Standing Committee of the NPC ("Standing Committee") are empowered by the PRC Constitution to exercise the legislative powers of the State including the power to amend the PRC Constitution and to enact and amend primary laws.

The State Council of China ("State Council") is the highest organ of state administration and has the power to enact administrative rules and regulations. Ministries and commissions under the State Council of China are also vested with the power to issue orders, directives and regulations.

The power to interpret laws is vested by the PRC Constitution in the Standing Committee of the NPC. In cases where the limits of articles of laws need to be further defined or additional stipulations need to be made, the Standing Committee of the NPC shall provide interpretations or make stipulations by means of decrees.

At the regional level, the People's Congresses of Provinces and Municipalities and their standing committees may enact local rules and regulations and the local People's Government may promulgate administrative rules and directives applicable to their own administrative area. However, these local laws and regulations may not be in conflict with the PRC Constitution, any national laws or any administrative rules and regulations promulgated by the State Council of China.

annexure a

2. Judicial SystemThe People's Courts are the judicial organs of the PRC. The People's Courts comprise the Supreme People's Court, the local level of the People's Courts, military courts and other special People's Courts. The local People's Courts are divided into three levels, namely, the basic People's Courts, intermediate People's Courts and higher People's Courts. The basic People's Courts are divided into civil, criminal and administrative divisions. The intermediate People's Courts have divisions similar to those of the basic People's Courts and, where the circumstances so warrant, may have other special divisions (such as intellectual property divisions). The higher People's Court deal with significant impact cases, in civil, criminal and administrative divisions. The judicial functions of People's Courts at lower levels are subject to supervision of People's Courts at higher levels. The Supreme People's Court is the highest judicial organ of the PRC. It supervises the administration of justice by the People's Courts of all levels.

The People's Courts adopt a two-tier final appeal system. A party may before the taking effect of a judgement or order appeal against the judgement or order of the first instance of a local People's Court to the People's Court at the next higher level. Judgements or orders of the second instance of the same level and at the next higher level are final and binding.

A foreign individual or foreign enterprise is accorded the same litigation rights and obligations as a citizen or legal person of the PRC. But if the courts of a foreign country impose restrictions on the civil litigation rights of the citizens, legal persons and other organisations of the PRC, the People's Courts of the PRC shall follow the principle of reciprocity regarding the civil litigation rights of the citizens, enterprises and organisations of that foreign country. If any party to a civil action refuses to comply with a judgement or order made by a People's Court or an award made by an arbitration body in the PRC, the aggrieved party may apply to the People's Court to enforce the judgement, order or award.

Prospectus l blackgold international holdings limited 161

A party seeking to enforce a judgement or order of a People's Court against a party who or whose property is not within the PRC may apply to a foreign court with jurisdiction over the case for recognition and enforcement of such judgement or order. A foreign judgement or ruling may also be recognised and enforced according to PRC enforcement procedures by the People's Courts in accordance with the principle of reciprocity or if there exists an international or bilateral treaty with or acceded to by the foreign country that provides for such recognition and enforcement, unless the People's Court considers that the recognition or enforcement of the judgement or ruling will violate fundamental legal principles of the PRC or its sovereignty, security or social or public interest.

3. Arbitration and Enforcement of Arbitral Awards Under the Arbitration Law of the PRC, an arbitral award is final and binding on the parties. If a party fails to comply with an award, the other party to the award may apply to the People's Court for enforcement. A People's Court may refuse to enforce an arbitral award made by an arbitration committee if there were mistakes, an absence of material evidence or irregularities over the arbitration proceedings, or the jurisdiction or constitution of the arbitration committee.

The PRC has acceded to the Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Award (the "New York Convention") adopted on 10 June 1958 pursuant to a resolution of the Standing Committee of the NPC passed on 2 December 1986. The New York Convention provides that all arbitral awards made by a state which is a party to the New York Convention shall be recognised and enforced by other parties to the New York Convention subject to their right to refuse enforcement under certain specific circumstances. Under the terms of the PRC's accession to the New York Convention, the PRC would only recognise and enforce foreign arbitral awards if the foreign arbitral award is made (1) by an arbitration committee from a state which recognises arbitral awards from the PRC; and (2) in relation to disputes considered under PRC laws to be arising from contractual and non-contractual mercantile legal relations.

4. Foreign Exchange ControlThe Regulations on Administration of Foreign Exchange of the PRC of January 1996 and the subsequent amendments in 1997 and in 2008 by the State Council of China set out the regulatory framework on foreign exchange of the PRC ("Foreign Exchange Regulations"). In accordance with the Foreign Exchange Regulations, Renminbi shall be freely exchanged for settling current accounts transactions, including trading and service related foreign exchange transactions and dividends distributions. However, foreign exchange involving direct investments, loans or securities investments outside the territory is restricted and requires the prior approval of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange. According to the Foreign Exchange Regulations, approvals from the State Administration of Foreign Exchange are exempted should the foreign owned enterprise trade the foreign currency with documentation that could prove such transaction, foreign exchange can be remitted (subject to the ceiling imposed by the State Administration of Foreign Exchange) for dividends distributions.

However, in view of the immense discretionary executive power of the central government, it is possible that there future restrictions may be imposed or current rights of foreign owned enterprises to purchase foreign exchange may be abolished.

5. TaxationThe applicable income tax laws, regulations, notices and decisions related to foreign invested enterprises ("FIE") and their investors within China (collectively the "Applicable Foreign Enterprises Tax Law") include the following:

Income tax on FIEs and domestically invested enterprises ("DIEs")The PRC enterprise income tax is calculated based on the taxable income determined under the PRC accounting standards and regulations.

blackgold international holdings limited l Prospectus162

Prior to January 1, 2008, FIEs were generally subject to a state income tax at the rate of 30% of their taxable income and a local income tax at the rate of 3% of their taxable income. The then applicable income tax law and its implementation rules provided certain preferential tax treatments to manufacturing FIEs with operating terms of more than ten years, such as exemption from state income tax for their first two years of profitable operation and a 50% reduction in state income tax for the subsequent three years.

In March 2007, the National People's Congress enacted a new Enterprise Income Tax Law ("EIT Law"), which became effective on January 1, 2008. The new tax law imposes a unified income tax rate of 25% on all DIEs and FIEs unless they qualify under certain limited exceptions. The new tax law permits companies to continue to enjoy their preferential tax treatment under the prior tax regime until such treatment expires in accordance with its terms, on the condition that such preferential tax treatment is available under the "grandfather clause" of the new tax law.

Tax rate on dividend income distributed to a Hong Kong shareholder of a FIEUnder the FIE Law, enterprises established under the laws of non-PRC jurisdictions but whose de facto management body is located in China are considered "resident enterprises" for PRC tax purposes. Under the implementation regulations issued by the State Council of China relating to the EIT Law, de facto management body is defined as a body that has material and overall management control over the business, personnel, accounts and properties of an enterprise. In April 2009, the PRC State Administration of Taxation promulgated a circular to clarify the definition of de facto management body for enterprises incorporated overseas with controlling shareholders being PRC enterprises. However, it remains unclear how the tax authorities will treat an overseas enterprise invested or controlled by another overseas enterprise and ultimately controlled by PRC individual residents.

If a Hong Kong shareholder of a FIE or the FIE is treated as a "resident enterprise" for PRC tax purposes:(i) the Hong Kong shareholder will be subject to PRC income tax on its worldwide income at a uniform tax rate of 25%;(ii) dividends received by the Hong Kong shareholder from the FIE in PRC may be excluded from its taxable income as the EIT Law provides that dividend income between qualified "resident enterprises" be exempt from income tax; and(iii) gains from the disposition of ordinary shares in the FIE by the Hong Kong shareholder may not qualify for the 10% income tax normally applicable for for investors that are "non-resident enterprises" 1.

The EIT Law provides that a withholding tax of 10% is normally applicable to dividends payable to a "non-resident enterprise" to the extent such dividends are derived from sources within China, or a lower tax rate on the condition that China has a tax treaty with the judicial district which the "non-resident enterprise" is subject to. Because Hong Kong has tax treaty with China, dividends paid to Hong Kong shareholders of a FIE is subject to a 5% withholding tax, if the Hong Kong shareholder is considered as a "non-resident enterprise" under the EIT Law.

Value Added TaxThe current Provisional Regulations of the People's Republic of China Concerning Value Added Tax, promulgated on 13 December 1993 and amended on 5 November 2008, provide that value added tax is imposed on goods sold in or imported into China and on processing, repair and replacement services provided within China.

Value added tax payable in China is charged on an aggregated basis at a rate of 13% or 17% (depending on the type of goods involved) on the full price collected for the goods sold or, in the case of taxable services provided, at a rate of 17% on the charges for the taxable services provided but excluding,

1 This 10% rate is available to such a "non-resident enterprise" as long as that "non-resident enterprise" does not have an establishment or place of business in the PRC or, despite the existence of such establishment or place of business in the PRC, the relevant income is not effectively connected with such establishment or place of business in the PRC. Investors who are "non-resident individuals" are subject to a tax rate of 20% on such capital gains.

in respect of both goods and services, any amount paid in respect of value added tax included in the price or charges, and less any deductible value added tax already paid by the taxpayer on purchases of goods and services in the same financial year.

Business TaxThe current Provisional Regulations of the People's Republic of China on Business Tax, promulgated on 13 December 1993 and amended on 5 November 2008, provide that any business that provides services, or assigns intangible assets or sells immovable property is liable to pay a business tax at a rate ranging from 3% to 5% of the charges of the services provided, intangible assets assigned or immovable property sold, as the case may be.

6. Wholly Foreign-Owned EnterprisesA wholly foreign-owned enterprise ("WFOE") is one type of FIE. The establishment of a WFOE has to be approved by the Ministry of Commerce (or its delegated local counterparts). A WFOE may be established as a limited liability company which can independently assume civil obligations and enjoy civil rights (including being able to sue and be sued in its own name) and has the right to own, use and dispose of property. It is required to have a registered capital contributed by a foreign investor(s). The liability of a foreign investor(s) is limited to the amount of registered capital contributed. A WFOE must also obtain a business licence from the State Administration of Industry and Commerce (or its delegated authorities) before it can commence business.

A WFOE in the PRC can only distribute dividends (if any) from the after-tax profits in compliance with the Chinese Accounting Standards and Rules and Regulations. A WFOE is required to preserve a minimum 10% of its after-tax profit as a reserve fund, until the cumulative reserve fund amounts to 50% of the registered capital of the WFOE. This reserve cannot be distributed as cash dividends, but may be used for re-investment in the WFOE.

The board of director of a WFOE may determine a percentage of after-tax profits be preserved for an employee's bonus and welfare fund. The reserve cannot be distributed as cash dividends and can only be used to pay employee bonuses and/or for payment expenses for employee welfare.

7. Overseas Investments and Listings The State Administration of Foreign Exchange ("SAFE") issued a public notice in October 2005 to require all PRC residents, including both legal persons and natural persons, to register with their relevant local SAFE branch before establishing or gaining control over any company outside China, referred to in such SAFE notice as an "offshore special purpose company," for the purpose of acquiring any assets of or equity interest in PRC companies and raising funds from overseas.

In addition, any PRC resident that is already a shareholder of an offshore special purpose company is required to amend its SAFE registration with the local SAFE branch with respect to that offshore special purpose company in connection with any increase or decrease of capital, transfer of shares, merger, division, equity or debt investment or creation of any security interest. If any PRC shareholder of any offshore special purpose company fails to make the required SAFE registration and amendment, the PRC subsidiaries of that offshore special purpose company may be prohibited from distributing their profits and the proceeds from any reduction in capital, share transfer or liquidation to the offshore special purpose company. Moreover, failure to comply with such SAFE registration and amendment requirements could result in liabilities under PRC laws for evasion of applicable foreign exchange restrictions.

In August 2006, six PRC regulatory agencies, including the Ministry of Commerce, the State Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, the State Administration for Taxation, the State Administration for Industry and Commerce, China Securities Regulatory Commission ("CSRC") and SAFE, jointly adopted the Regulation on Mergers and Acquisitions of Domestic Enterprises by Foreign Investors ("M&A rule").

The M&A rule includes provisions that require a special purpose company that is formed for the purpose of the listing of equity interests in PRC companies on an overseas securities exchange and which is controlled directly or indirectly by PRC companies or individuals to obtain the approval from CSRC prior to the listing and trading of their securities on any overseas stock exchange. In September 2006, CSRC published on its official website procedures regarding its approval of overseas listings by special purpose companies. The CSRC approval procedures require the filing of a number of documents with CSRC and it can take several months to complete the approval process. The application of the M&A rule with respect to overseas listings of special purpose companies remains unclear with no consensus currently among leading PRC law firms regarding the scope of the applicability of the CSRC approval requirements.

8. LabourThe Employment Contract Law of PRC, effective as of 1 January 2008, provides that an employer shall sign the employment contract with any employee upon, or, in no event beyond one month from the commencement of service by the employee for such employer. There are three types: (i) an employment contract with fixed term, under which employment terminates on the fixed date agreed; (ii) an employment contract with indefinite term, under which the date of termination of employment is not explicitly provided and thus remains indefinite; and (iii) an employment contract termination subject to consummation of certain work, under which employment terminated upon consummation of certain work. An employment contract with indefinite term shall be duly established, where: (i) an employer has signed the employment contract with fixed term for consecutive two times; or (ii) an employer fails to sign any written employment contract with any employee after one year from commencement of service by such employee for such employer.

An employer, who fails to sign any written employment contract with any employee beyond one month after commencement of service by such employee and remains so until expiration of one year, shall pay double salary to such employee.

Under an employment contract, no breach of contract damages may be deemed liable to any employee unless such employee: (i) who has taken qualified training at such employer's expense subject to a fixed term of service but fails to comply with such fixed-term employment contract; or (ii) who, under the employment contract, is obliged to keep confidential such employer's trade secrets, intellectual property and other confidential information, or is liable to the non-competition obligation, but fails to comply with the said confidentiality or non-competition.

9. The PRC Coal Industry

The coal industryChina's coal industry is subject to extensive regulations by the PRC government. These regulations govern a wide range of areas, including, but not limited to, investments, exploration, production, mining rights, distribution, trading, transportation and exports related to coal, and investments, generation, pricing, despatch and tariffs related to power. In addition, coal operations are subject to fees and taxes, as well as safety and environmental protection laws and regulations.

The Coal Law, the Mineral Resources Law and related laws and regulationsIn August 1996, the Standing Committee of the NPC promulgated the Coal Law of the PRC ("Coal Law"), which became effective on 1 December 1996 and amended on 27 August 2009. The Coal Law sets forth requirements in many areas of coal production, including, among others, exploration, the approval of new mines, the issuance of production permits, the implementation of safety standards, the trading of coal and the protection of mining areas from destructive exploitation, the protection of miners and administrative supervision.

All mineral resources in China are owned by the State under the current Mineral Resources Law of the PRC ("Mineral Resources Law"), which was promulgated on 19 March 1986 and amended on 29 August 1996. The geology and mineral resources department of the State Council of China, (the state GMRD), is responsible for the supervision and administration of the mining and exploration of mineral resources nationwide. The geology and mineral resources department of each province, autonomous region and municipal government, (the local GMRD), is responsible for the supervision and administration of the exploration, development and exploitation of mineral resources within their own jurisdiction.

Enterprises engaged in the exploration and exploitation of mineral resources must obtain an exploration permit from the government. Upon approval, an exploration license for each proposed mine or a mining right permit for each mine will be granted by the state GMRD or the relevant local GMRD responsible for supervising and inspecting exploration and exploitation of mineral resources in the jurisdiction. Annual reports are required to be filed by the holders of mining right permits with the relevant administrative authorities that issue the permits. The tenure of mining right permits differs according to scale of production:, for large scale the maximum tenure is 30 years, for medium scale the maximum tenure is 20 years, and for small scale the maximum tenure is 10 years. Further, a licence holder may apply for renewal of a mining right permit 30 days before the expiry date of the licence.

Pursuant to the Decision on the Institutional Reform of Investment System promulgated by the State Council of China dated 16 July 2004, applications for all coal mine development projects within the State plan mining areas are required to be submitted to the National Development and Reform Commission, ("NDRC"), for approval, while other general coal mining development projects are to be submitted to the competent investment department of local governments. A coal producer must also obtain a coal production permit for each of its mines in order to begin producing and selling coal in China. In addition, the production capacity of each coal mine

should be approved by the NDRC or its provincial counterpart and is subject to annual reviews of the competent approving authority. Each coal production permit has a different tenure which is approved by competent investment department of local governments. A licence holder may apply for renewal of a coal production permit 90 days before the expiry date of the licence.

According to the Measures of Coal Operation Supervision, if a coal producer intends to engage in a business involving coal products which is not "self-produced" or "self-processed", such as coal trading, it must obtain an operational license from the department of coal operation to conduct such business. The tenure of a coal trading licence is 3 years. A licence holder may apply for renewal of an operation licence 30 days before the expiry date of the licence.

It is unlawful for an entity or individual to conduct mining operations in any area which has already been authorised for exploitation to other mining operators. An entity whose mining operations cause harm to others in terms of production or living standards is liable to compensate the affected parties and to take necessary remedial measures.

Under the Mineral Resources Law, a mine operator must follow certain procedures in closing a mine, including, among other things, submitting a mine closure geology report to the regulatory authority that originally approved the opening of the mine.

A holder of a mining right permit has certain additional obligations including, among others, obligations to (i) conduct reasonable exploitation, and protect and fully utilise mineral resources; (ii) pay resources tax and resources compensation levy; (iii) comply with the laws and regulations relating to occupational safety, soil and water conservation, reclamation and environmental protection; and (iv) submit mineral resource reserve and utilization reports to relevant government authorities as required.

Domestic trading of coalPursuant to the Measures for the Regulation of Coal Operations promulgated by the NDRC on 27 December 2004, the State implemented a system to examine coal operation qualifications in respect of coal operations, including the wholesaling and retailing of raw coal and processed coal products, and the processing and distribution of coal for civilian use. Before an enterprise can engage in coal operations, it must obtain a coal operation qualification certificate. A coal production enterprise that deals in coal products which it did not itself produce and process is required to obtain coal operation qualifications. Such an enterprise is prohibited from dealing in coal products produced and/or processed by a coal mine enterprise that does not have a coal production permit or in coal products of a coal operation enterprise that does not have coal operation qualifications, and is also prohibited from selling coal products to a coal operation enterprise that does not have coal operation qualifications.

PricingSince 2002, the prices for all types of coal other than thermal coal have been largely subject to market forces. According to the Notice Regarding the Coordination of Production, Transportation of and Demand for Coal in 2006 issued by the NDRC on 27 December 2005, the measures as to the temporary intervention for pricing of thermal coal issued by the NDRC at the end of 2004 have been eliminated, and pricing is now determined primarily by supply and demand.

However, according to the Price Law issued by NPC and effected on 1 May 1998, temporary guidelines can be issued to limit price increases if the price of thermal coal increases significantly or is likely to increase significantly according to the Price Law of the PRC.

SafetyThe State Administration of Work Safety ("SAWS") and the State Administration of Coal Mine Safety ("SACMS") under the supervision of the SAWS are the PRC government authorities exercising control over and supervision of the safety of coal production. In order to proceed with the construction of a coal mine project, the project's safety designs and procedures must be examined and approved by the SACMS or its local offices. Upon the completion of a coal mine construction project and before the commencement of production, further inspection and approval by the SACMS or its local offices of the facilities and conditions is required. The SACMS also conducts regular safety inspections of coal producers pursuant to the Safety Production Law, the Mining Safety Law of the PRC and applicable safety regulations. Producers who fail to comply with safety regulations will be subject to penalties, including fines and suspension of the safety operation license. In addition, mining companies are required to truthfully report to their supervising labour administrative authority within 24 hours of the occurrence of any safety accident that causes serious personal injuries or fatalities. Under the Implementation Measures for Coal Production Safety Permits, effective from 17 May 2004, each operating coal mine is required to apply for a coal production safety permit from the SACMS or its provincial bureau. The coal production safety permits will be valid for an initial period of three years, after which they may be renewed upon the application of the permit holder. To further strengthen the safety regulation of coal mines, the SAWS and the SACMS issued the Amended Coal Mine Safety Procedures effective from 1 January 2005. The Amended Coal Mine Safety Procedures set forth higher production safety requirements and stricter safety standards for coal producers in China.

TaxationPursuant to the "Provisional Regulation of Resources Tax" and the "Rules Administering Levy of Mine Resource Compensation Fees", the coal industry has been levied resources taxes and resources compensation fees. Since 2004, the Ministry of Finance and the State Administration of Taxation have issued a series of notices on coal resources taxation adjustments. The coal resources tax rates of certain regions, such as Shanxi province, Qinghai province, Inner Mongolia autonomous region, Guizhou province, Fujian province, Shandong province, Yunnan province, Ningxia Hui autonomous region, Chongqing municipality, Anhui province, Henan province, Tianjin municipality, Hunan province and Hubei province, have been increased. The current resources tax rate for mines in Chongqing is RMB 2.5 yuan per tonne.

The Environmental ProtectionThe Ministry of the Environmental Protection of the People's Republic of China is responsible for overall supervision and control of environmental protection in China. It formulates national standards for discharging waste materials and environmental protection and monitors the PRC environmental protection system. Environmental protection bureaus at the county level and above are responsible for environmental protection within their respective areas of jurisdiction.

The PRC Environmental Protection Law ("Environmental Protection Law") requires all operations that produce pollutants or other hazards to take environmental protection measures, and to establish an environmental protection responsibility system. Such system includes the adoption of effective measures to control and properly dispose of waste gases, waste water, waste residue, dust or other waste materials. Any entity that discharges waste material must report to and register with the relevant environmental protection authority. If an enterprise fails to report or register the environmental pollution caused by it, it will receive a warning or be penalized.

Enterprises which have polluted and endangered the environment must bear the responsibility for remedying the danger and effects of the pollution, as well as compensate any losses or damages suffered as a result of such environmental pollution. Enterprises which fail to restore the environment or remedy the effects of the pollution within the prescribed time period will be penalized or have their business licenses terminated. A material violation of the Environmental Protection Law that causes a material loss of public and private belongings or personal injuries or death may result in criminal liability.

The Water Pollution Prevention Law was promulgated on 11 May 1984 and revised on 15 May 1996 and 28 February 2008 respectively. It is the legal framework for the prevention and control of water pollution in respect of terrestrial and underground water from rivers, lakes, canals, channels and reservoirs. Environmental protection divisions under the local governments are vested with the functions to supervise and administer the prevention and control of water pollution, while the PRC State Environmental Protection Administration is in charge of the formulation of State water quality standards and State pollutant discharge standards. The provincial governments can supplement non-formulated items by setting local standards and filing reports to the State Environmental Protection Administration. Any enterprise or institution that discharges water pollutants is subject to a discharge fee in accordance with relevant regulations and an excess-pollutant discharge fee in case of discharges in excess of the prescribed level and has to take corrective measures. The urban centralized water pollutant disposal institutions provide services and charge water pollutant disposal fees to secure the normal operation of sewage centred processing facilities. Any enterprise or institution which has paid a sewage treatment fee is not subject to the pollutant discharge fees. Entities that fail to comply with the Water Pollution Prevention Law will be subject to a warning notice, a penalty payment, suspension of operations and closure of business as

determined by the relevant environmental authority-in-charge. Any entity that causes water pollution is obliged to ensure the elimination of the pollution and compensate direct losses suffered by entities or individuals. The PRC Operating Companies do not discharge water pollutants in their business operations.

The Atmospheric Pollution Prevention Law was promulgated on 5 September 1987 and revised on 29 April 2000 and became effective on 1 September 2000, and is used for the prevention and control of atmospheric pollution from, among other things, the burning of coal, motor-driven vehicles and vessels, exhaust gases and dust. Administrative departments of environmental protection under the government at or above the county level shall be responsible for conducting unified supervision and management of the prevention and control of atmospheric pollution. Where atmospheric pollutants are discharged, the concentration of the said pollutants should not exceed the standards prescribed by State and local authorities. In addition, a system of collecting fees has been implemented by the government for discharging pollutants on the basis of the categories and quantities of the atmospheric pollutants discharged.

Entities that fail to comply with the Atmospheric Pollution Prevention Law will be subject to a warning notice, a fine, confiscation of illegal earnings, a suspension of operations, and the shut-down of their operations as determined by the competent environmental authority-in-charge, and to potential criminal liability. Any entity that has caused an atmospheric pollution hazard shall have the responsibility to eliminate the pollution and compensate relevant entities or individuals for the loss.

10. Real Property

Ownership of Land and Land Use RightsGenerally in China the State owns all land other than rural lands which may be owned by collectives of farmers. Land ownership is established under the PRC Constitution. The local government may either "grant" or "lease" to industrial land users land use rights ("LURs") to land planned for industrial purposes for a fixed period, through signing land grant contracts or land leases and issuing State-Owned Land Use Certificates. The industrial land users must pay land grant fees for the granted LURs or rent for the leased LURs. Land collectively-owned by local villages or land not planned for industrial use may not be granted or leased to industrial land users, but may be converted into State-owned industrial land by the State through an often time-consuming process which requires approvals of the State Council or the relevant provincial level People's Governments and then be granted or leased to industrial land users.

Construction and ownership of BuildingA permit for the Planning of Construction and a permit for the Commencement of Construction must be obtained from the local construction bureau for land users to commence the construction. Upon completion of construction, an Inspection and Acceptance Approval for the building must be obtained from the local authorities including those in charge of construction quality, fire safety and workplace health and safety.

The relevant government authority of the PRC grants a Certificate of Building Ownership to certify ownership of any relevant building, and the owners of the buildings should correspond with the owners of the land use right.
