Golden China Releases Fiscal 2008 Q1 Results
Toronto, Ontario, November 13, 2007 - Golden China Resources Corporation (GCX: TSX; ASX) today released its unaudited financial results for the three months ended September 30, 2007.
The Corporation reported $10.35 million of revenue for Q1 Fiscal 2008, which contrasts with nil for the comparable period of its 2007 financial year. All revenue was recognized by Golden China's BioGold gold processing facility in Shandong Province, acquired by the Corporation in December 2006 as part of its business combination with Michelago Limited of Australia.
For the quarter ended September 30, 2007, the Corporation incurred a net loss of $6.39 million, or $0.12 per share, comparing with a net loss of $1.12 million ($0.06 per share) for the same period in Fiscal 2007. The increased year-over-year net loss was mainly due to a $3.19 million one-time consulting fee charged in relation to the acquisition of Golden China Management Inc. (see press release dated August 9, 2007) as well as higher general, administrative, and office expenses incurred as a result of amplified business activities following Golden China's business combination with Michelago.
On September 7, 2007, Sino Gold agreed, subject to certain terms and conditions, to make a take-over offer (the "Offer") for all of the shares of Golden China. Under the terms of the Offer, Golden China shareholders and CDI holders will receive 0.2222 of a Sino Gold share for every Golden China common share they hold. Details are available in Sino Gold's Offering Circular and Golden China's Directors' Circular, which were mailed to Golden China shareholders on October 24, 2007. The documents are also available on SEDAR at www.SEDAR.com and the ASX at www.asx.com.au.
