China Health Resource, Inc. (OTCBB: CHRI), announced today that the company has signed a 3 year exclusive agreement with a leading producer of Gastrodia in Pingwu, Sichuan.  This exclusive contract term is from April 1, 2012 to March 31, 2015, and extends the very successful product line for an additional 3 years from the prior agreement which will end March 31, 2012.  The quality of Gastrodia under this agreement is expected to comply to the latest formal TCM pharmaceutical standard and will give CHRI continued leverage in the Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) marketplace in China, as the main controlling distributor and supplier of pharmaceutical grade Gastrodia (also known as Tianma).

Widely recognized for producing high-quality Angelica, CHRI is expanding its TCM offerings with a highly regarded and marketable TCM herb, commonly known as Tianma in China. Pure Gastrodia in Pingwu County of the Sichuan Province contains a high content of active ingredients, with low heavy metal content. Free of pollution and boasting high quality, the demand in the market for pure Gastrodia surpasses the supply in Pingwu County.

“This exclusive agreement adds a stable high quality source of supply of our new flagship product, Gastrodia. Gastrodia demand is large and supply of pure Gastrodia of consistent quality is hard to find.  Having established our leading position in pharmaceutical Dahurian Angelica Root (DAR), allows us to attract high quality supply of key herbs which used with our standards can command higher prices for CHRI as well as our suppliers.” stated Jiayin Wang, Chairman and CEO of CHRI.

The company already started its General Agricultural Process (GAP) standard implementation for Gastrodia.  With standards in place, the quality can be properly managed and controlled.  This is considered by many experts as an essential step in the modernization of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) products.

“CHRI is committed to establishing and promoting standards of raw herbs and TCM products. GAP DAR is now well accepted as the standard for pharmaceutical grade DAR in China and providing stable revenues and margins to CHRI. Gastrodia commands a larger market with high margins.  Gastrodia in 2011 has grown its sales in double-digits.  We expect the Gastrodia product line to continue to add significant revenue and earnings for many years.” added Jiayin Wang.

Gastrodia has large demand in China and Asia and further potential with the demands created from new alternative health products worldwide, general growing aging population and the imminent need to find alternative health solution with less side effects. Gastrodia currently retails for about 250~1,000 Yuan/kg (US$38~150/kg). It is considered one of China’s highest priced TCM drugs available in the market.

China Shen Zhou Mining & Resources, Inc. (NYSE AMEX: SHZ), (“China Shen Zhou” or the “Company”), a Company engaged in the exploration, development, mining and processing of fluorite, zinc, lead, copper, and other nonferrous metals in China, today announced that the Company signed a Memorandum of Understanding to merge and acquire a number of fluorite and barite mining and mineral processing companies located in the Wuling mountains in the province of Guizhou. Negotiations are expected to be finalized within the next 60 days.

Since 2010, the Chinese government has issued a number of policies designed to raise the barriers to entry for the fluorite mining industry and to encourage fluorite mining companies to merge and integrate. China Shen Zhou, as the largest fluorite mining and mineral processing company in northern China, views the acquisition and integration of high-quality fluorite resources as a key part of the Company’s strategic plan.

Since the Company acquired 55% of Xinyi Mining Company in Anhui province, China Shen Zhou has considered acquiring a number of fluorite and barite rich mining companies located in southwestern China. As a result, China Shen Zhou identified and finished its due diligence on several targeted companies and the parties have reached an initial agreement regarding purchase price and transaction structure. Additional details concerning the acquisitions will be disclosed once the definitive agreements are executed.

Ms. Xiaojing Yu, the CEO of the China Shen Zhou, commented: “The Company has always believed that fluorite, as a widely used yet scarce strategic resource, will be in high demand given continuing economic development in China. China’s Wuling mountains are very rich in resources of fluorite and barite and possess excellent ore quality with low levels of phosphorus and sulfur. Barite is similar to fluorite as it is also a widely used diminishing resource.

“Because of China Shen Zhou’s advanced knowledge of the methods of separation of fluorite and barite ore and of methods of deep-processing of barite, the acquisitions of the Wuling mountain fluorite and barite resources will greatly enhance the Company’s reserves, laying the foundation for China Shen Zhou to become one of the largest fluorite mining and processing companies in China. Meanwhile, we will use the acquired barite resources to greatly improve the Company’s mining, processing and production capabilities.

“Furthermore, China Shen Zhou plans to work with local governments as well as both upstream and downstream enterprises to build a high-quality processing center and chemical industrial base to produce low-phosphorus and low-sulfur fluorite.”

Barite

Barite is a mineral consisting of barium sulfate, with a chemical composition of BaSO4, and is the largest natural mineral containing barium. Also, it is the largest source of barium. China is rich in barite, with barite reserves and production ranked the first in the world. Barite mines in China are mostly located in Guizhou province, which contains 34% of the total barite reserves in China.

Barite powder, the primary product of barite, is mainly used in the oil and gas industry as a weighting agent. Deep-processed precipitated barium sulfate, the raw material for making barium salts, is widely used in coatings, paints, inks, daily chemical products, textiles, papers and other products. Barite is categorized as a protective, non-metallic mining mineral by the Chinese Ministry of Land.

Mr. Norm Klein, CFO/COO of EastBridge, commented, “The year 2011 has been a very tough year for every financial service firm, big and small; EastBridge was no exception; our clients were affected and we were also impacted. However, we have emerged from it more disciplined and determined. Our listing projects have not been canceled, only delayed. Instead of 2011, most of the known listings will happen in 2012. We are pleased with the progress that we have made in 2011. In addition to moving both Tsingda and Wonder closer to a listing on a U.S. stock exchange, we have begun the listing process for Dwarf Technology, Arem Pacific and LongWen Media. We assisted Alpha Lujo management with finding a shell which trades on the OTCBB. We are also working with a well known education client to develop joint venture partnerships with Chinese education companies. Additionally, we have expanded our business with U.S. companies as we are working with Fizza (healthy beverages for school children) and with International Air Medical Services (air ambulance company). We expect to sign agreements with a couple more U.S. companies in the near future. Financially, we have also improved, especially our cash position. We have the wherewithal to execute our plans for 2012.”

Mr. Keith Wong, CEO of EastBridge, added, “We have some very aggressive plans for 2012. We are now working on five listing projects for 2012 and possibly more clients to list on a U.S. stock exchange in 2012. We have a new marketing plan on hand to seek new clients both in the Far East and in the United States for listings in 2013 and beyond. As soon as the market becomes favorable in 2012, we will move EBIG to the Nasdaq or AMEX. We believe we will attract new institutional investors to our stock once we have moved to a primary exchange. We are very optimistic for and excited about achieving significant success in 2012 for our shareholders.”
