            On December 29, 2015, Silver Dragon Resources Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an Equity Transfer Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Beijing Shengda Industrial Group Ltd. (“BSIG”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell its 20% interest in Inner Mongolia Guangda Mining Ltd. (“Guangda”) a wholly owned subsidiary of its Foreign Cooperative Joint Venture in China, Sanhe Sino-Top Resources & Technologies Ltd. (“Sino-Top”) to BSIG for approximately RMB161,922,820 ($25,000,000) (the “Purchase Price”) subject to adjustments provided in the Agreement. Upon the completion of the sale the Company will no longer have any interest in Inner Mongolia Guangda Mining Ltd. (“Guangda”).

            The consummation of the sale and transfer of the Company’s 20% interest in Guangda to BSIG is contingent on the receipt of required regulatory approvals including the receipt of the China Securities Regulatory Commission and any required board and shareholder approval. A down payment in the amount of RMB2,500,000 ($380,000) was paid upon the execution of the Agreement.

The balance of the Purchase Price is to be paid in five installments as follows:

Ten percent of the Purchase Price shall be paid within fifteen business days of receiving the approval of the China Securities Regulatory commission for the transaction;

Twenty percent of the Purchase Price shall be paid within fifteen business days of the date the ownership registration of the Company’s 20% interest in Guangda is transferred to BSIG;

Fifteen percent of the Purchase Price shall be paid within fifteen business of receiving the earnings report of Guangda Mining for 2017;

Fifteen percent of the Purchase Price shall be paid within fifteen business days of receiving the earnings report of Guangda Mining for 2018; and

Forty percent of the total Purchase Price shall be paid within fifteen business days of receiving the earnings report of Guangda Mining for 2019.

            As noted in the Agreement, Sino-Top and Shengda Mining Co. Ltd. entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement on December 13, 2015, pursuant to which Shengda Mining Co. Ltd is purchasing 100% of Sino-Top’s equity interest in Guangda Mining through issuing shares. Sino-Top has signed an Indemnification Agreement on Performance Commitment with Shengda Mining Co. Ltd. pursuant to which Sino-Top pledged certain net profit amounts for Guangda Mining as set forth in the Agreement and Sino-Top agreed to compensate Shengda Mining Co. Ltd. for the net profit differences.

            The Agreement provides that a certified accounting firm will review the actual net profit and calculate the difference between the actual net profit and the committed profit at the end of every fiscal year during the commitment period from 2017 to 2019 and the Company will have
