E&M Group, Inc. (OTCBB:EMGR) is pleased to report that it has ratified a share exchange agreement with PT. E&M Indonesia, an Indonesian mining company. By acquiring PT.E&M Indonesia, E&M Group will take the major step forward to become a major player in producing iron sand and zircon. We are looking forward to expanding our operations in Indonesia to grow our business and, furthermore, increasing our shareholder value.

ACQUISITION HIGHLIGHTS:

  • Two iron sand/ore mines currently in production.
  • Zircon mine with known reserve of 10 million tons (about 22 billion USD).
  • Planned offshore iron sand mine with known reserve of 500 million tons (about 3 billion USD).
  • Substantial pro forma cash flow generation ensures future growth is financed.

Both companies and their shareholders are expected to benefit from increased scale and enhanced capital markets profile. Discussing the acquisition, Jooin Kim, E&M Group's Chief Executive Officer said, "There is still a huge gap between the supply and demand for zircon and the price growing as a result. In fact, the price of zircon exited 2010 above $1,000 per ton and has gone up to $2,200 per ton in the third quarter of this year. Credit Suisse, in their 3QT 2011 Commodities Quarterly, has predicted that the price of zircon will increase up to $3,500 per ton by the end of year 2012. Zircon mine, which will be our main projects, will become a major driver the company's future growths as zircon price is expected to grow."
