About Asian Dragon
Asian Dragon was established to focus on China's explosive precious metals reserves and markets and to become one of China's largest foreign gold and precious metals producers through a series of joint ventures and mine and property acquisitions.
Key relationships in China are enabling Asian Dragon to capture business opportunities as the Chinese Government continues to privatize many of their industries, enabling local and foreign investment to fill the void left by the Government ministries. Asian Dragon takes advantage of an identified niche opportunity in the Gold Mining Industry of China, where the Chinese Government has withdrawn the military from Gold Mining and set up the Gold Bureau to continue Gold Mining on an international scale.
Long standing relationships with the Gold Bureau have provided Asian Dragon with the exclusive opportunity to commence due-diligence on several advanced Chinese Gold Mining Projects in one of the Country's most well-known and prolific mineral production regions, the Xiaoqinling Region, where hundreds of small and dozens of medium to large mines are actively mining gold and various other precious metals and minerals. Earlier companies which acquired smaller advanced mining projects have since proven out positively and have succeeded in turning themselves into billion dollar market-cap opportunities. Two recent examples are Hong Kong listed Lingbao Gold Co. and Toronto Stock Exchange listed Silvercorp Metal Inc. both of which have major projects in the Xiaoqinling Region.
