Arehada Provides Updates on Sale of Subsidiary

TORONTO, ONTARIO, Arehada Mining Limited today provides an update on the proposed sale by its wholly-owned subsidiary Arehada (Barbados) Corporation (“ABC”) to Shanjin Mining Corporation (“Shanjin”), a Shandong based Chinese mining company. Pursuant to the agreement between ABC and Shanjin, ABC agrees to transfer all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Arehada Mining Corporation (“Arehada China”) held by it to Shanjin. Arehada China is the Chinese operating subsidiary of Arehada.

The Company understands that at this stage two steps remain to be completed before the sale can close. One is the review by the Tax Bureau of Xilinguole Meng of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region (the “Tax Bureau”) of the audit reports (including the recently filed supplementary report) and the independent valuation report to ensure they are in compliance with tax laws and other legal requirements in China. The Tax Bureau may request an adjustment of the sale price and determine the applicable tax rate for the sale proceeds in accordance with the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises and tax laws in China. The Company expects it may take up to two months to obtain the Tax Payment Certificate from the Tax Bureau upon its completion of the review, after which it can then apply to the Foreign Exchange Administration Bureau of Xilinguole Meng of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region for foreign exchange modification registration and other related matters.
