Doxen Energy Group Limited (“Doxen Energy” or “the Group”) (HKEx code: 668) has announced its final results for the year ended 31 March 2010. Coal mining in the Fukang region in Xinjiang On 18 May 2010, the Group embarked on its first major step to enter the coal mining business by entering into an agreement to acquire 100% interest in the New Century Coal Mine located near Fukang City in Xinjiang Autonomous Region of the PRC for a total consideration of HK$300million, to be settled by issuance of new shares of the company at HK$1 each, according to a company report.

The New Century Coal Mine has an aggregate mining area of approximately 2.5478km2 covered by mining licence. Coal production is anticipated to commence in late 2012. Sales of coal is expected to begin by the end of 2012 or early 2013.
