II. Executive SummaryOverview
Introduction
Northern China Coal Company Limited (NCCC) an British Virgin Island corporation primarily
engage in the business of (i) entering into management contracts for producing coal properties inthe Peoples Republic of China pursuant to which the Company has the right to extract the coal
at such mine (Extraction Arrangement) and (ii) acquiring and operating coal trading companies
licensed in such country.
As used in this document Northern China Coal Company Limited shall be referred to as
NCCC, the Company , we, us and our and shall include all wholly and majority
owned subsidiaries.
Most dollar information assumes the currency exchange rate of US$1.00 =RMB6.83 Yuan.
All coal and other minerals in China are owned by the Government and its subdivisions but
private entities may receive permission or license to extract the minerals and grant or transfer all
or a portion of such rights to a third party. The Companys first Extraction Arrangement will be
for the Xinjiang Tuokexum Northern Hills Coal Mine Project coal mine in Xinjiang Autonomous
Republic of China (NHM). The Company has a written understanding (the YSY Agreement)
with Xinjiang Yingshengyuan Mining Industry Limited Company (YSY) for the transfer of
NHMs extraction rights to it or its designee. YSY has previously acquired the rights to NHMand several additional mines in Tuokexum, Xinjiang. YSY subject to our successful operations
has agreed to assign the rights to several additional contracts to NCCC. The grant of right to
manage or extract the coal at NHM is for three years and is renewable for an additional three
years. Pursuant to the understanding with YSY, YSY is to be paid an annual fee of $500,000 to
coordinate inspection of the mine and other matters. If our production exceeds 1,800,000 MT in
any year, we will have to pay an additional fee to YSY. The YSY agreement has been entered
into by Dibao Mining Corporation which has existing mining operations and is controlled by an
officer and director of the Company. The YSY Agreement will be assigned to a newly formed
entity for no consideration. During the interim period the mine will be operated for our benefit.

`Page 6 of 60
Due to transactional Value Added Tax (VAT) requirements, the Companys sales to customerscan only be made through licensed coal traders, thereby surrendering a portion of the gross profit
from such sales to traders through the fees that they charge. The Company has understandings to
acquire two coal traders. If the Company acquires a coal trader, it will be able to effect sales
through such an affiliated coal trader and obtain the revenue that will be paid to these traders as
fees. See information below relating to such acquisition.
NHMs output in 2008 was approximately 700,000 metric tons. The estimated gross profit before
corporate overhead at the average per ton sales price of coal that year would have totaled
approximately US$15.5 million. The gross profit for 2008 reflects a higher price for coal during2008 when severe weather and other problems resulted in shortages in the coal supply and higher
prices. Prices in subsequent periods were lower.
Offering
The Company intends to raise approximately $6,000,000 to pay the initial consideration of
$2,000,000 for NHM (including the reimbursement to a director for the initial downpayment of
$500,000). Any money raised will be placed into escrow until arrangements are in place for the
transfer of YSY Agreement to a 100 % owned entity is completed although a Company
controlled by an officer and not owned by us may be required to hold the agreement for our
benefit while we complete the corporate structure. The Agreement will then be assigned to us
without consideration.
If the transaction is not consummated, then all funds will be returned to investors without interest
or deduction.
The Company intends to use a majority of the balance of proceeds to acquire up to two coal
trading companies and a portion of the consideration for the Extraction Arrangement for an
additional mine as well as for working capital.
The Company will establish a policy pursuant to which it will declare dividends of 50% of net
profits of the entity, determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
The Company may change such policy in the future if management in good faith believes that it
will be beneficial to the Company. There is no assurance that the Company will achieve
profitability.

Rapid Organic Growth, Guaranteed Sales and Future Acquisitions Pending
The Company is required under the YSY Agreement to significantly increase production from
NHM after the closing to 1,500,000 tons per year, and intends to further increase such production
to 150,000 tons per month or 1,800,000 tons per year. While the Company can immediately
boost production to 1,800,000 tons at NHMit will not do so until sales and other related issues
such as railway platforms and railway transportation arrangements has been set-up and are in
place for the increased coal production. The additional transportation capacity is needed to
maintain a consistent supply to our end-users since reliable supplies is integral to customer
satisfaction and is critical to building our business. We believe that it will take between 6
months and one year to accomplish the foregoing.
The Company has entered into various preliminary understandings with agents for power plants
wherein the Company will be able to effect sales for all the coal generated from the NHM at the
price of US$22.00 per ton. The Agreement with YSY also provides for the sale to YSY at such
price but NCCC can elect to sell elsewhere if it can obtain a higher price. As indicated below, the
Company is considering entering into three additional Extraction Arrangements for mines that
are currently managed by YSY that would add an additional 2.2 million tons of production per
year with the potential to increase to 7.2 million tons per year in increments over the 5 years after
initial receipt of funds.
With the increased annual production of coal from NHM and the anticipated 3 additional
Extraction Arrangements, the Company expects to achieve significant growth. Estimated sales in
2009 (which includes the first 2 months in 2010 and represents actual sales through January to
November 2009 based on information provided to us). Also set forth below are estimated coal
sales and profits before corporate overhead for fiscal years ending February 28, 2011 and
February 29, 2012 and February 28, 2013 are shown below.

acquisition of additional Extraction Arrangements and increased production at NCH Mine and
such additional mines; (iii) Company takeover of NHM by March 1, 2010 and (iv) additional
assumptions set forth in Part VIII of this Plan.
Future Extraction Arrangement and Coal Trading Opportunities
The Company estimates output can be increased to 1 million tons a year in the short term. The
Xinjiang Fukang City Dahuangshan Huang Coal mine located in Xinjiang Fukang City
Dahuangshan Huang Caogou has an annual output potential of up to 2 million tons a year in the
short term. Historical yields have been 2 million tons in 2009. The Xinjiang Shanshan Country
Kanerqi Lead and Coal mine located in Xinjiang Shanshan Country has an annual output
potential of up to 0.6 million tons a year in the short term. The Company believes there is
potential to increase production to 7.2 million tons per year in increments over 5 years after
initial receipt of funds. All of the foregoing are operate mines same geological formation of
which NHM is also a part.
The Company has also identified opportunities to acquire coal trading businesses that
management thinks will produce synergies with the Extraction Arrangement operations that are
included in the financial forecasts section. NCCC has an understanding with one such entity in
J iangmen, Guangdong province and another with a trading company in Xinjiang. Each trading
company has the rights to trade coal and issue tax receipts on behalf of tax authorities nationally
and in the case of the J iangmen operation, export coal as well.
7/29/2019 NCCC Business Plan(2)
9/60
`Page 9 of 60
The ability to trade coal on national scale provides NCCC with greater flexibility to servicecustomers either from any coal mine it has an Extraction Arrangement or any coal mines in
China which will generate additional profit. The sale of coal to the end user can, in practice,
only be made by an entity, which can issue a tax receipt indicating that the VAT tax has been
paid. Therefore, the Companys sales to customers can only be made through coal traders,
thereby surrendering a portion of the gross profit from such sales as a fee to these traders. The
Company has understandings to acquire two coal traders, one of which has an export license.
The latter is a valuable license as the Company believes not more than 5% of coal traders have
export licenses. If the Company acquires a coal trader, it will be able to effect sales through such
an affiliated coal trader, and thereby obtain additional revenue. The Company may also derive
additional revenues from any wholly owned coal trader from the coal traders performing
transactions on behalf of third parties.
The Market
According to the BP 2008 Statistical Review of World Energy, China produced nearly 1.3billion
tons of coal in 2007, up 7.0% from the previous year. The country has approximately
114.5billion tons of coal reserves, second only to the United States. Tuokexum of Xinjiang is one
of Chinas richest provinces in terms of coal production, supply. Because the mines in
Tuokexum are generally open pit mines, these mines tend to be safer and more efficient.
Over the last two years, the Chinese Government has closed a large number of small companies
in order to address economic, environmental and safety issues. This resulted in the elimination of
over 1,000 coal-related enterprises, mainly underground mining operations. The Company
believes that certain of our officers long-term relationship with the Xinjiang Government puts us
in an advantageous position relative to its competition.
The Company is well positioned to participate in Chinas modernization of the coal industry as a
result of its focus on open pit mines which the Company believes will be favorable for the
foreseeable future. NCCCs strategy ideally fits the industrys development path and will make it
one of the leaders in the coal industry.

Corporate Structure
The Company will have an offshore holding structure commonly used by foreign investors with
operations in China. Northern China Coal Company Limited is a British Virgin Islands
corporation, which will owns Northern China Coal Investment Holding Limited (NCCC HK),
an International Business Company incorporated in the Hong Kong; NCCC HK will own
Tuokexum Dibao Natural Resources Co., Ltd. (Dibao NR), a WOFE Wholly Owned Foreign
Enterprise established under the laws of the Peoples Republic of China. The operations will be
conducted exclusively through a wholly owned subsidiary, Dibao Management Corporation,
which will receive an assignment of the YSY Agreement from Dibao Mining Corporation,
(Dibao). The Company will operate its China coal trading business through a separate
subsidiary of the WOFE. Tony K. So is the Chief Executive Officer of NCCC. Before funding,
one hundred Percent (100%) of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company are owned by
existing management team of which Seventy Percent (70%) of such shares of are owned by a
corporation controlled by Mr. So. An additional 6,000,000 shares of the Companys Common
Stock will be issued to the new investors together with 3 year warrants to purchase 6,000,000
shares at a price of $1.50. The newly issued shares acquired by the investors represent 10.71% of
the total outstanding shares after completion of the financing. These will be subject to an upwardadjustment if the EBITDA does not equal exceed $10,000,000 for the year ending February
2011. For this purpose EBITDA shall be defined as Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation
and Amortization and before one-time non-recurring funding and listing expenses. If EBITDA of
the Company as so defined does not equal or exceed $10,000,000 for the year ending February
2011, the number of shares owned by the investors shall increase by 25%.

III. General Company Description and Risk DisclosureReference is made to the Risk Factor Section attached hereto detailing the Risks of this Offering.
NCCC Company description:
The Company will be engaged in coal production through the acquisition of Extraction
Arrangements for currently operating income producing open pit coal mining properties in thePeoples Republic of China (PRC). The Company has also identified opportunities to trade
coal from smaller mines in Xinjiang and other areas to customers and potential customers in
Henan province. It will do so with trading companies it intends to acquire. The Company
initially will obtain the Extraction Arrangements from the current rights holders, YSY Mining
Corporation for the NHN Mine, with a signed agreement executed on October 27, 2009 by Dibao
Mining which is controlled by an officer and by paying a deposit payment for these paid on
November 1, 2009. The YSY Agreement will be assigned without consideration to our designee.
In the interim the operations under the agreement will be for our benefit. Upon closing the
Company intends to continue to extract coal from the newly acquired rights that it controls and
has the right to mine and sell the coal on a per ton basis for cash on delivery, at pit or by contract.
Most of the coal will be sold by contract. The coal produced from the NHM will be sold
primarily to power plants through coal traders (including affiliated traders if acquired) and coal
wholesalers. While Coal wholesalers final customers are typically also power generators, they
also may serve other customers such as industrial companies, factories, other smaller wholesalers
and individuals for home heating.
The NHM property consists of an open pit coal deposit that varies in total thickness from 10 to50 meters. The mine is 2.7 square kilometers and part of a deposition which 27 kilometers in
length which includes other mines which seek to obtain Extraction Rights. NHM produces
mostly high-grade (6,000+ BTU) low sulfur coal. The mine is located approximately 200
kilometers northeast of the City of Xinjiang Urumqi in the Tuokexum Province.
7/29/2019 NCCC Business Plan(2)
12/60
`Page 12 of 60
In addition to NHM, the Company pursuant to its initial agreement with YSY is negotiating toenter into Extraction Arrangements for properties as described in SectionV. It has reached an
oral understanding on these properties subject to the payment of consideration estimated at RMB
3 per ton for 3 years total production capacity which will be paid from the funds raised and
through cashflow.
It has included these 3 properties in its Forecasts in Part VII of this business plan. However, no
assurances can be made that these Extraction Arrangements will actually be acquired. Failure to
acquire these rights will negatively impact the projections; but management has identified
additional projects, with similar financial profiles.
Due to the laws of China, the Company does not and cannot have a 100% direct ownership
interest in NHM Mine or any other mine. However, through its indirectly wholly-owned
subsidiary, Dibao Natural Resources Corporation, a Hong Kong Company, the company will
own Dibao Management Corporation, which will obtain the YSY Agreement, and receive all of
the economic benefits derived from the business operations.

The Company intends to effect ownership of Dibao through the WOFE under Chinese law. Suchentity may repatriate profits without regard to currency restrictions. If the Company does not
obtain WOFE status, the Company will be subject to currency restrictions, and distributions may
be limited.
In managements opinion, there are tremendous opportunities in Chinas energy sector. Coal,
due to its bedrock importance to the economic life of China, is critical to the countrys ongoing
development. Recognizing this, the government has focused on and supports bringing in capital,
management and technology to improve productivity and financial stability of enterprises
engaged in the industry. The Companys goal is to be an important supplier of energy productsto meet the growing demand and needs of customers in China.
NCCC Company Goals and Risks to These Goals:
NCCC will monetize and expand the production of coal through the management agreement with
YSY for NHM. The cash generated from this facility will serve the following purposes;
1. Pay dividends to shareholders - subject to our working capital needs,
2. To acquire income producing management contracts and/or properties
3. Provide working capital funding for coal trading operation
4. Invest in opportunities related to the business (although none are planned except as
provided in this Plan)
5. Expand current production of mines subject to Extraction Arrangements.
The Companys continuing strategy is to expand the business by entering into additional
Extraction Arrangements. Successful implementation of this strategy is contingent on numerous
conditions and there can be no assurance that this expansion strategy can be successfully
executed due to competition for the best properties. NCCCs growth depends on managements
ability to enter into additional Extraction Arrangements from third parties.
7/29/2019 NCCC Business Plan(2)
14/60
`Page 14 of 60
There is intense competition from other energy providers to obtain Extraction Arrangements.Managements ability to negotiate, obtain and execute Extraction Arrangements is critical to the
ongoing success of the enterprise. Management will also focus on developing a coal trading
platform where smaller mines sales will be made to NCCC. By expanding the ability of the
Company to sell coal, management believes that it will be somewhat easier to obtain new
production facilities and expand the Companys output by selling to an established customer
base. This strategy is dependent upon managements ability to execute both the trading strategy
and using internal demand to acquire Extraction Arrangements and then increase productivity of
these mines in order to continue to grow the business.
Additionally WOFE (Wholly Owned Foreign Enterprises) structures are designed to indirectly
obtain 100% ownership. This method is widely used and the Company does not believe it will
have any issues in forming the WOFE. If for some reason it cannot use the structure, the
Companys forecasts could be adversely affected.
Additionally, China may change corporate, tax, ownership, labor or other laws that may have a
negative effect on the profitability of the business.
The Market and the Companys customers:
The market in China for coal is limited to 4 major customer groups:
1. Electric utilities,
2. Iron, steel and other metal smelting and refining operations,
3. Corporate customers as a feedstock for production,
4. Wholesalers for individual customers for home heating and cooking.
NCCC initially will exclusively focus on selling coal directly to electric utilities and then to
metals smelters and wholesalers that sell coal to utilities. A professional sales force may be
needed when the company acquires more Extraction Arrangements.

7. Trader 3 500,000 tons per annum
NHM for the year ended December 31, 2008 served (one) customer(s) which accounted for
100% of the sales and revenue due to limitation of production capacity. Since the Company
intends to expand production to over 1.8 million tons annually, it is negotiating additional
contracts that can be executed once production at NHM is ramped up. While the Company can
immediately boost production to 1,800,000 MT at NHM, it will not do so until sales and other
related issues such as railway platforms and railway transportation arrangements have been set-
up and are in place for the increased coal production. The additional transportation capacity is
needed to maintain a consistent supply to our end-users since reliable supplies is integral to
customer satisfaction and is critical to building our business. We believe that it will take
between 6 months and one year to accomplish the foregoing.
The Need for Additional Resources:
The Company will retain third party independent contractors for the extraction and local
transport operations between the mine and the railway platform. These third parties provide theequipment and labor to perform their services. Management believes that the equipment
currently deployed at the mine by the current contractor is adequate to meet the increased output
goals. The trucking of the extracted coal is delivered to the railway platform by independent
truck operators that are compensated on a per trip or mileage basis. Management also thinks that
compensation levels to third parties are adequate to attract these contractors in sufficient
numbers to meet the tonnage goals. However, if there are bottlenecks in the extraction or
delivery to the railhead, the Company may be required to obtain additional or substitute
Independent Contractors which have resources to provide additional mining equipment and/or
trucking capacity.
7/29/2019 NCCC Business Plan(2)
16/60
`Page 16 of 60
The current bottleneck in the mining and delivery operation is the loading capacity at the railwayplatform where the Company only has access to 10,000 tons of loading capacity per day. This
amount represents adequate railhead loading capacity to meet the mines current output. While
the present capacity at the railhead platform will theoretically cover the additional annual output
of NHM, there are many days that the platform may not be available to us because of weather,
holidays, or other usage. Therefore, it is important that capacity at the railroad station be
increased.
To assure avoidance of bottlenecks for the expansion of NHMs output to planned levels will
require the Company to have access to at least 3 more loading platforms for an increase inloading capacity of 30,000 tons per day to a total capacity of 40,000 tons a day within 6 to 12
months of funding. An agreement with China Rail is under negotiation and subject to
confirmation.
In order for NCCC to achieve its production expansion goals, additional railway truck and
loading capacity is necessary. Management is confident that a quick expansion of railhead
capacity is attainable since it meets the governments dual goals of regional economic expansion
to promote social stability in Xinjiang and the additional capacity meets national goals of having
abundant and reliable supplies of energy.
China vs. Developed Nations Energy Consumption and the Coal Industry
Energy consumption in many of the developed nations has been flat over the past several years,
whereas energy consumption in China has grown at 10% or more annually for the last half of this
decade. This high growth rate has increased the demand for all energy feedstock sources,
particularly coal.
Coal supplies the vast majority (70 percent) of Chinas total energy consumption requirements.
Oil is the second-largest source, accounting for 20 percent of the countrys total energy
consumption. While China is making a large investment and efforts to diversify its energy
supplies, hydroelectric sources (6 percent), natural gas (3 percent), and nuclear power (1 percent)
account for relatively small proportion of Chinas energy consumption.
7/29/2019 NCCC Business Plan(2)
17/60
`Page 17 of 60
Even with a concerted central government effort to support alternative energy technologies,
sources including environmentally friendly green technologies, growth in the aggregate
demand for energy will ensure that coal will continue to be the principle feedstock for Chinas
energy needs for the foreseeable future.
Competitive Strengths and NCCC Core Competencies:
The conceptual framework for the NCCC business model for the short and intermediate term
revolves around monetizing the value inherent in properties that are currently producing income.
The Company does not intend for management to explore, develop or build new mining assets
but to acquire mineral rights through management contracts and improve on operations and
management to maximize cash-flow and income.
The Company, therefore, is relying on its ability to identify, secure and monetize income
producing properties. It is focusing on those properties that throw-off large amounts of free cash
flow; Management intends to use the free cash flow to secure new properties and pay dividends
to investors.
7/29/2019 NCCC Business Plan(2)
18/60
`Page 18 of 60
Typically, moving money out of China is a complex and difficult process since the currency isnot freely convertible. There are a myriad of laws and processes that must be addressed in this
process. The WOFE structure simplifies and allows for funds to be moved out of China for
dividends and debt payments. Management does not believe that there will any issues
surrounding these kinds of funds transfers. NCCC management believes by utilizing the WOFE
structure that allows the Company to allocate free cash-flow between dividends and funds
retained for reinvestment into mining properties in China to maximize shareholder value. If the
Company does not obtain WOFE status, the Company will be subject to currency restrictions,
and distribution may be limited.

IV. Products and ServicesLocation of the Mine and Customers:
The greatest advantage to the NHM and NCCCs operating model is 3-fold;
1. Demand for energy has grown rapidly in China and management expects this trend to
continue, China relies heavily and is centered on the consumption of coal. Volume and
price can be reasonably expected to remain firm over the foreseeable future.
2. The social instability in Xinjiang involving Islamic agitators has caused the government
both nationally and locally to focus on promoting economic growth in the region. In
order to boost business conditions, we believe that the government has loosened policy
restrictions to attract capital and investment for both foreign and domestic investors.

3. Safety of underground coal mines has been a major problem for many years and mineaccidents claim the lives of thousands of miners annually. The official tally of mine
accident deaths totaled more than 3,700 in 2008 but other estimates claim that there are as
many as 20,000 miners that die in accidents every year. As a result, China has embarked
on a program, province-by-province of consolidating mines, in most cases under State
Owned Enterprise control and closing those facilities that do not meet safety standards. It
is important to stress that this program is targeting underground coal mines and not open
pit mines, as NHM, is focused on. Therefore, supply will be constrained by the closure
of substandard mines and those that need to temporarily close in order to improve safety
fittings in operating facilities. The safety drive will, over the short term, potentially
reduce supply as unsafe mines are closed or temporarily shut to upgrade safety.
Management thinks that operating mines safely is an important aspect of maintaining
good relationships with government authorities and gaining benefits that this safety
record entails.
Management expects that demand will continue to remain robust while constraints on supply
may increase. Technical and fundamental factors should overwhelm any operational, investment
or technological factors that may drive increased production or lower prices. These favorablesupply/demand characteristics are likely to keep margins healthy and profitability strong.
Management recognizes there is a window of opportunity for investment in Xinjiang and
moving rapidly to secure these resources. Management thinks that these business conditions will
be favorable for companies such as NCCC for the foreseeable future.

Product Pricing:
Global coal prices are determined by market demand and supply and these factors determine
price. The global coal industry utilizes long-term contracts since large users, such as utilities
need to secure reliable supplies in order to ensure uninterrupted service to their customers.
However, in the PRC, the price for certain thermal coal used for power generation is determined
among coal suppliers and power plant buyers in accordance with the pricing guidance published
by the PRC Government.
Therefore, there is little flexibility to set prices by producers or customers since they are
determined by government intervention. The price setting mechanism is not market based and
the element of public policy that determines prices adds an element of risk to the business but
also adds further levels of security to investors in energy producing investments.
Specifically, the Government setting prices of resources such as coal creates risk for producers if
these prices are set too low or are adjusted to affect social or economic policy that benefits one
group over another. However, the Governments desire to generate adequate energy supplies tomeet demand from individuals and business is an overwhelming goal of the government today.
Investors can therefore expect favorable policies towards energy producers for the foreseeable
future.
Moreover, the risk from artificially low coal prices may be somewhat mitigated if NCCC
acquires a coal trading company with an export license. If such acquisition occurs, NCCC may
export coal at higher prices if price of coal below true market prices. This mechanism in general
will also temper the governments desire to set prices too low since this may result in lower
supply and shortages.

`Page 22 of 60
Pricing of coal is also influenced by the government through their control of the rail system,Management intends on operating and setting prices within these constraints. Prices will
therefore be set by taking into account:
1. Prices in the relevant local coal markets as dictated by government mandate
(inclusive of transportation costs);
2. Grade and quality of the coal; and
3. Relationships with customers.
Currently, the average price for raw coal in Xinjiang is RMB200 (US$29.28) per ton for delivery
at the pit for 6,000+BTU rating. Most of the Companys coal is sold pursuant to contract and
delivered by rail.
Until 2002, the production and pricing of coal have largely been subject to close control and
supervision by the PRC Government, which centrally manages the production and pricing of
coal. Previously, the price of coal was determined based on a government-devised pricing
guideline which set out the suggested prices for coal. However, in order to effectuate the
transformation from planned economy to market economy practices, from January 1, 2002 Chinaeliminated the state guidance price for coal and allowed prices for all types of coal to be
determined in accordance with market demand. However, as the PRC Government continues to
maintain control over the national railway system, which is the primary means for coal
transportation in China, the PRC Government still may exert influence over the pricing of coal
through its allocation of railway transportation capacity for coal.
In addition, under the Price Law of the Peoples Republic of China, promulgated on
December 29, 1997, effective from May 1, 1998, in the event of an actual increase or potential
increase in the prices of important products such as coal, the State Council and the provincial
governments, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the PRC Government may
adopt intervention measures, such as restricting the ratio of price differentials or of profits, and
imposing price limits, etc. In August 2004, the NDRC issued a notice setting forth temporary
measures to be imposed on thermal coal prices for certain regions. In December 2004, the NDRC
issued a notice setting forth guidelines for pricing of thermal coal sales in 2005. Under these
guidelines, the coal suppliers and their customers may not negotiate for the sale of coal at prices
exceeding the government suggested price range.
7/29/2019 NCCC Business Plan(2)
23/60
`Page 23 of 60
Similar to coal pricing, the production and supply of coal, which is dictated by the PRCGovernments annual state coal allocation plan, has been gradually liberalized and largely
subject to market forces. Major domestic coal suppliers and coal purchasers attend the Annual
National Coal Trading Convention to negotiate and discuss the price and quantity of coal to be
supplied and purchased for the coming year through the signing of letters of intent and short and
long-term supply contracts.
The Economic Importance of Coal to China:
The People's Republic of China is by far the largest producer of coal in the world, producingover 2.8 billion tons of coal in 2007, or approximately 39.8 percent of all coal produced in the
world during that year. By comparison, the second largest producer, the United States, produced
more than 1.1 billion tons in 2007 only 40% of the production of China.
Importantly, from an employment policy perspective, coal plays an enormous role where an
estimated 5 million people work in China's coal-mining industry. Maintaining employment in
the rural regions where the bulk of coal is produced is a goal of the Chinese government, both
national and locally. Maintaining employment and programs for increasing the safety of mines
support the health and welfare of the rural population will be an ongoing priority of the national
and provincial governments.
Coal makes up 77 percent of China's total primary energy consumption, and China is both the
largest consumer and producer of coal in the world. China holds an estimated 114.5 billion short
tons of recoverable coal reserves, the third-largest in the world behind the United States and
Russia and about 13 percent of the worlds total reserves. There are 27 provinces in China that
produce coal. Northern China, especially Shanxi Province, contains most of China's easily
accessible coal and virtually all of the large state-owned mines. Coal from southern mines tendsto be higher in sulfur and ash, and therefore unsuitable for many applications.
Coal consumption has been on the rise in China over the last eight years, reversing the decline
seen from 1996 to 2000. More than 50 percent of Chinas coal use is in the non-electricity
sectors, primarily as feed stocks for industrial companies. The balance of 50 percent is used in
the power sector.

`Page 24 of 60
Chinas Coal Industrys Competitive Landscape:
Chinas coal industry has traditionally been fragmented among large state-owned coal mines,
local state-owned coal mines, and thousands of town and village coal mines. The top three state-
owned coal companies produce less than 15 percent of the domestic coal. Shenhua Coal, the
worlds largest coal company, holds 9 percent of the domestic market in China with 2008
revenues of RMB 107 billion (US$15.6 billion).
Though the smaller coal mines hold a sizeable portion of the market, they are inefficient and are
challenged to respond to market demands. China has tens of thousands of small local coal mines
where inefficient management, insufficient investment, outdated equipment, and poor safety
records prevent the full utilization of coal resources. The goal of consolidating the industry is toraise total coal output, attract greater investment and new coal technologies, and improve the
safety and environmental record of coal mines. According to one industry report, at the end of
2005 China had 25,000 coal mines. Independent analysts estimate that over the past several years
China has closed down between 20,000 and 50,000 small coal mines and about 200 million tons
of production from small mines is slated for closure.
In contrast to the past, China is becoming increasingly open to foreign investment in the coal
sector, particularly in an effort to modernize existing large-scale mines, introduce new
technologies into Chinas coal industry and to allow for capital to be more efficiently allocated
7/29/2019 NCCC Business Plan(2)
25/60
`Page 25 of 60
within this important energy sector. Areas of interest in foreign investment concentrate on newtechnologies with efficiency and environmental benefits, including coal liquefaction, coal bed
methane (CBM) production, and slurry pipeline transportation projects. The Chinese government
is actively promoting the development of a large coal-to-liquids industry illustrating that coal
will pay an important role in Chinas energy future for a long time to come.
Due to the strong and increasing demand this decade, Chinas coal imports started growing after
2002 since imported coal prices including transportation became competitive with domestic
production prices particularly in the coastal cities. Additionally, the coal industry suffers from
frequent bottlenecks in transmission to consumer markets leading to unstable deliveries of
supplies. Customers such as utilities are dependent upon reliable supplies of coal and shortfalls
cause brownout and blackout that damage the utilities reputation with their customers and can
cause damage and sever dislocations to businesses and the economy that rely upon stable energy
supplies.

Types of Coal in China:
Due to the differing attributes of coal and properties, our product is low sulphur, 6,000+BTU,
and is primarily sold to power plants and metallurgy operations. NCCCs coal resources are of a
high enough quality and also meet the demand of, cement factories, industrial users andwholesalers. Our focus on utilities and those wholesalers that service utilities is a strategic
decision where we do not want to have to manage a larger scale sales organization. We would
prefer to devote resources to identifying and securing new properties to acquire.

Our Potential Customers:
The Company will sell its coal on a per ton basis directly to its customers assuming it has
acquired a licensed coal trader. Coal is generally sold to major customers by purchase order
signed prior to the beginning of each mining season. These purchase orders generally specify the
quantities and timing of purchases planned over a time period generally for the period of one
year. The balance of the sales comes from purchase orders issued by the same customers that
have additional requirements for coal during the year, or from other customers.
For the year ended December 31, 2008, only 1 (one) customer accounted for 100% of the salesand consolidated revenue derived at NHM which represents only 9% of this particular
customers yearly consumption. Since the Company intends to expand production to over 1.8
million tons annually, it will need to negotiate new supply contracts. Net coal sales as
represented by the pro-forma forecasts are the expected invoiced value of coal sold, net of sales
taxes, government fees, extraction taxes, transportation costs and various miscellaneous fees
relating to sales if the invoiced value. Many of the latter expenses are born by the coal trader.
Please see Section VII for Financial Projections
It is important to note that due to high demand and to ensure consistent supply; customers alwayspay for coal in advance or make substantial deposits. While the price of coal did not change
significantly between 2005 and 2006, there was a significant increase in 2007 and 2008 driven
by market demands and changes in government price structures. Under such conditions, most
customers in 2008 paid in advance of delivery to secure supplies. Since customers do not have
the option to secure supplies through paying higher prices, the market has adjusted through this
mechanism where producers are paid well in advance for future production. It is unknown if
these kinds of conditions will remain in place or for how long or if customers are willing to pay
us in advance for their long-term supply needs. The Company expects that customers will pay
against delivery of coal to either rail head or delivery destination. Any ability to secure
payments in advance will generate valuable cash for the Company. There is no assurance that
the Company will receive significant prepayments.
7/29/2019 NCCC Business Plan(2)
28/60
`Page 28 of 60
Also, once NCCCs coal is extracted, it is typically picked up immediately by, or loadedimmediately for delivery to customers. The Company anticipates not having to maintain an
inventory of extracted coal for the foreseeable future. Therefore, the Company can expect to
keep most inventory levels low which will also keep our working capital needs minimal. Under
the current supply/demand profile, the Company cannot foresee any problems to secure steady
customers nor a need to maintain higher than minimal inventories for its core business.
The annual consumption for most of NCCCs potential clients is between 4 to 10 million tons
annually. Therefore if the Company has sufficient working capital during the slower summer
months, there may be an opportunity to ship production to customers, wholesalers or storage
facilities in advance of demand. This tactical allocation of funds serves several purposes:
Increases the supply available to customers during higher demand periods when supplies
may be constrained by railway bottlenecks
Improves the Companies relationship with the railroad by utilizing extra capacity during
slow periods
NCCC is a more reliable supplier to customers as excess inventories during difficult
times assists our customers with their problems.
Increases the potential for profits as this allows for somewhat higher volumes andpotentially higher prices during peak demand periods
There is no assurance we will be able to ship in advance
Managements intention is to continue to retain NHMs single customer and establish new long-
term business relationships to be met by the increased production. It should be noted that a coal
fired power plant is capable of consuming at least 2 million tons of coal annually. Management
believes that the environment is favorable to obtain new customers and has been actively
negotiating sales arrangement with potential customers as illustrated in the following table:
1. Power generator 1 300,000 tons per annum
2. Power generator 2 300,000 tons per annum
3. Power generator 3 500,000 tons per annum
4. Power generator 4 500,000 tons per annum
5. Trader 1 500,000 tons per annum
6. Trader 2 500,000 tons per annum
7. Trader 3 500,000 tons per annum
There is no assurance any of the foregoing will be consummated.
7/29/2019 NCCC Business Plan(2)
29/60
`Page 29 of 60
As indicated above the typical consumption of a customer is between 4 to 6 million tonsannually, NCCC is limiting sales to the above figures due to our projected capacity limitations
and the need to diversify our customer base. Furthermore, customers desire to have more than
one supplier in the event that there are delivery problems from any single supplier.
Competition:
The coal business in China is a dynamic and fast growing industry. However, Chinas coal
industry is fragmented and operators include large state-owned coal mines, local state-owned
coal mines, and thousands of town and village coal mines.
China has tens of thousands of small local coal mines where inefficient management, insufficient
investment, outdated equipment, and poor safety records prevent the full utilization of coal
resources. Additionally, China is closing some of these smaller mines or forcing them into larger
State Owned Enterprises. Therefore, supply from smaller operations may not be reliable.
It is also important to recognize, that the largest consumers of coal, electric utilities require
continuous and uninterrupted supplies of coal and therefore value the ability of suppliers to
provide coal in sufficient quantities and in a timely manner. Therefore, utilities are not inclined
to buy from smaller operators but from larger suppliers and wholesalers that consolidate
production from smaller operations.
Since customers need reliable supplies, producers with capacity to deliver and those that have
access to rail transport are the dominate competitors in this industry. Long-term relationships
and the ability to deliver coal on time are the most important issues when considering
competition. Due to government price setting, other aspects such as service and reliability of
supplies are more important than price in the customer/supplier relationship.
Geographic issues play an important role. Coal is a high volume but low price to weight
business and there is little capacity to replace supplies with those from places further afield.
Deliveries of coal require rail capacity from point-to-point and coal is more efficiently consumed
as close to the source as possible.
The companys customers, both current and proposed are on major rail lines and management
expects it will only face competition from new production. As the rail map below illustrates, the
customers in Henan are accessed by the major rail lines in China today.
7/29/2019 NCCC Business Plan(2)
30/60
`Page 30 of 60
The Company believes that significant transportation cost savings to our potential customers maybe possible from other potential coal providers, but in the Companys opinion the coal derived
from these sources is not competitive with the Companys product.
The real differentiator between competitors is the logistics of being able to deliver reliable
supply to customers.

Important points to consider:
Tuokexum - Each year Dibao Management is required to pay RMB 3,000,000 Yuan
(US$500,000) to YSY which obligated to coordinate the annual inspection and other
matters relating to the mine. YSY has agreed to purchase all the coal that is mined,
effectively setting a floor price of RMB150 Yuan/tons (approximately US$22). Dibao
may elect to sell to others if the selling price is higher.
The advantages of this mine are based on the following factors:
Low transportation cost: The coal mine is 70KM apart from a railway station and the
transportation cost is RMB30Yuan/ton (US$4.39),
Low extraction cost: Due to the open pit mine, the extraction cost is RMB 20 Yuan per
ton (US$2.93),
Guaranteed selling price by the YSY Agreement Not lower than RMB150 Yuan/ton
(US$22), Production start for the one year period after the beginning of the operation of the mine
by us, 15,000 ton increasing to 150,000 ton per month or 1.8 million ton/year starting
within 12 month after funding,
Monthly revenue: 150,000 ton x 100 Yuan (150Yuan - 30 Yuan for local transportation
costs - 20 Yuan for extraction costs) =15million Yuan (US$ 2.19 million per month),

Legal Environment and Regulatory Overview:
Coal Law:
On August 29, 1996, the PRC Government promulgated the Peoples Republic of China Coal
Law (the Coal Law), which became effective on December 1, 1996. The Coal Law sets forth
requirements for all coal mines, including state-owned mines and privately owned mines, mainly
providing for resource exploitation planning, approval of new mines, the issuance of mining and
safety production permits, implementation of safety standards, processing of coal, businessmanagement, protection of mine areas from destructive exploitation, and safety protection for
miners and administrative supervision.
Mining activities in the PRC are also subject to the Peoples Republic of China Mineral
Resources Law (Mineral Resources Law), which was promulgated by the PRC Government on
March 19, 1986 and amended on August 29, 1996. The Mineral Resources Law regulates any
matters relating to the planning or engaging in the exploration, exploitation and mining of
mineral resources. According the Mineral Resources Law all mineral resources, including coal,
is owned by the state. Except under limited circumstances, any enterprise planning to engage in
the exploration, exploitation and mining of mineral resources must first apply for and obtain
exploration rights and mining rights before commencing the relevant activities.
Licensing and bonding requirements:
Prepaid mining rights represent the amount the Company will pay as consideration for Extraction
Arrangement and represents a right to extract a certain amount of coal underlying a mining right.
In the case of the YSY Agreement, our rights are based upon 1,500,000 MT. annually. We may
be liable to pay YSY at the rate of RMB 3 per ton if we exceed 1,500,000 tons as contemplated.
YSY in turn will have to pay the government for any overage of the amounts listed in the initial
extraction license issued by the government.

`Page 40 of 60
Health, workplace, or environmental regulations:
The PRC adopted extensive environmental laws and regulations that affect the operations of the
coal mining industry. The outcome of environmental liabilities under proposed or future
environmental legislation cannot be reasonably estimated at present, and could be material.
Under existing legislation, however, Company management believes that there are no probable
liabilities that will have a material adverse effect on the financial position of the Company.
Annually NHM is subject to inspection, including a safety examination. The Government
charges a fee for such inspection. NHM has passed an annual safety inspection up to 2009.
Fees and Taxes:
There are various taxes and fees that are imposed upon coal producers in Xinjiang Province, as
well as statutory reserves which coal producers required to set aside. Under the YSY Agreement
such taxes, fees and statutory reserves as applicable are to be paid by YSY to the owner which is
ultimately responsible.
The Company is subject to corporate income taxes and other statutory taxes subject to allcorporations on profits, VAT and employee emoluments. VAT taxes are already figured into the
price of the product and all revenue figures in the financial forecasts and pro-forma income
statements are net of VAT taxes. Corporate income taxes for WOFE structures are waived for
the first 2 years of the Companys operation.
National taxes are broadly as follows:
Item Base Rate
Corporate income tax Taxable income 12.5-25.0%VAT Revenue from domestic 17.0%

Other issues:
Personnel
NCCC does not foresee a need to have mine employees directly since most of the labor will be
contracted from independent providers but it will be a necessity to employ around 60-70
personnel at the Dibao operating company. Employees of the Company will typically be skilled
and professional individuals whose talents in such areas as logistics, bookkeeping, mine
management will be utilized in the management of the Company
Transportation:
The Company expects that nearly all of its net sales will depend upon coal transported by the
Chinese national railway system. As the railway system has limited transportation capacity and
cannot fully satisfy coal transportation requirements, discrepancies between capacity and
demand for transportation exist in certain areas of the PRC. We plan to utilize the national rail
system to transport coal to our customers. No assurance can be given that we will be allocated
adequate railway transport capacity or acquire adequate rail cars, or that we will not experienceany material delay in transporting our coal as a result of insufficient railway transport capacity
or rail cars.
NCCCs mines depend on a single transportation carrier such as China Rail or a single mode of
transportation in addition to the trucking from the mine to the railway platform. Disruption of
any of these transportation services due to weather-related problems, flooding, drought,
accidents, mechanical difficulties, strikes, lockouts, bottlenecks, and other events could
temporarily impair our ability to supply coal to our customers. The transportation providers may
face difficulties in the future that may impair our ability to supply coal to our customers,
resulting in decreased revenues.
Suppliers
The Company will not directly mine coal at any of the properties. Instead it will engage
independent contractors to perform both the mining and truck transportation to the railroad.
These independent contractors are required to provide all required labor, supplies and equipment
for the tasks that they are contracted to perform.

NCCC Cash Flow Forcast
NCCCs cash-flow is forecast to be positive after initial funding of US$ 5 million, the investment
of those funds and the operation of the facility to the benefit of the Company. Management does
not expect that there will be a need to raise additional funds and that all acquisitions and capital
investments can be made from internally generated funds. The Companys WOFE intends toenter into a management agreement with Dibao pursuant to which the WOFE will charge
management fees to the operating Company. This approach is designed to minimize the tax
burden at each level of the operation and to provide sufficient cash to make dividend payments.
There is no assurance that such a strategy will result in our ability to shield income or minimize
taxes over the whole corporate structure
