COMPANY PROFILE

Managing Director’s
Statement

As Managing Director of LotusHall Mining, I would like to express the company’s sincere gratitude to all
our clients that have given us the opportunity to participate in various major projects in both the civil
engineering and mining industries over the past twelve years.

Currently we are engaged as the primary mining contractor in two projects:

In Thailand we are engaged by Akara Mining at the Chatree Gold Mine Project. We have
successfully retendered for the North Chatree Expansion and have recently invested in and
established a large new fleet of equipment on site to meet Akara’s needs.

In Lao PDR we have been engaged by OZ Minerals at the Sepon Gold and Copper Mine since
its beginning and have been successful in an international tender to secure the mining
contract. LotusHall Mining has invested in and established new mining plant for this project
to meet the clients expansion plans.

LotusHall Mining has a highly qualified management team that is committed to the success of the projects
we participate in for the mutual benefit of both parties. Building strong, long term working relationships
with our clients is central to our philosophy.
