Item 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement

As previously reported on a Current Report on Form 8-K which was filed by Silver Dragon Resources Inc. (the “Company”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 14, 2016, 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.

The Board of Directors (“Board”) of the Company rejected the offer (the “Offer”) from BSIG to receive an all cash consideration in five installments over the course of several years with the last payment being made in 2019 for the Company’s 20% equity interest in Guangda, for RMB161,922,820 (approximately USD$25 Million). The Board has reviewed the valuations, terms and conditions of the offer and as a result concluded that a counter offer would be made. On February 4, 2016 the Company made  BSIG a counter offer the terms of which include a purchase price of RMB265,000,000 (approximately USD$40 Million) for the Company’s 20% interest in Sino-Top which includes all six (6) properties with the purchase price being paid in two installments, 50% on closing and 50% on approval by all appropriate regulatory authority including the China Securities Regulatory Commission and Ministry of Commerce no later than December 31, 2016. Accordingly, the Company considers the Agreement to be terminated.

If the Company’s counter offer is accepted by BSIG the Board by resolution shall seek approval of the matter at a Special Meeting of Stockholders to be scheduled at that time. Consummation of the sale of the Company's 20% interest in Sino-Top which is all of its interest in Sino-Top is subject to determination of the final sales price of Sino-Top, execution of final transaction documents, obtaining any required approvals including the approval of the Company's shareholders and the approval of appropriate regulatory authority including the China Securities Regulatory Commission. There cannot be any assurance that the Company’s counter offer will be accepted.

A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 and shall not be deemed incorporated by reference into any of the Company’s registration statements or other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
