LETTER FROM THE BOARD

INTRODUCTION

On behalf of the Board, I invite you to attend the EGM and the H Shares Class Meeting to be held at the conference room of the Company, Building No. 3, Shuntai Plaza, Shunhua Road No. 2000, Jinan, Shandong Province, PRC at 9:00 a.m. on Tuesday, 25 August 2020 and on Tuesday, 25 August 2020 immediately after the conclusion of the A Shares Class Meeting respectively. The purpose of this circular is to issue the notices of EGM and the H Shares Class Meeting and provide you with all reasonably necessary information to enable you to make an informed decision as to the resolution to be proposed at the EGM and at the H Shares Class Meeting.

BACKGROUND

Prior to the listing of the Company's H shares on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, the Company completed an issue of shares to acquire assets and raise funds, which constituted a connected transaction under the Shanghai Listing Rules (the "Previous Restructuring") in October 2016. The Company issued shares to SDG Group Co., Non-ferrous Group, SDG Exploration, Jinmao Mining and Mr. Wang Zhiqiang to acquire the exploration and mining permits of Dongfeng mine area and relevant assets and liabilities, 70.65% equity interest in Guilaizhuang Gold Mine, 100% equity interest in Penglai Mining and exploration permit of Xinli mine area (collectively the "Subject Assets").

On 23 July 2020, the Company convened the 37th meeting of the fifth session of the Board, which considered and passed, among other things, the following resolutions in relation to the Previous Restructuring:

    1. approving the corresponding share compensation for not realising performance commitment against the Subject Assets under the material asset restructuring of the Company; and
    2. approving the extension of the term of commitment in relation to remedying defects of the land and property ownership of Penglai Mining by the original shareholders of Penglai Mining.
  1. EXTENSION OF TERM OF COMMITMENT ON REMEDYING DEFECTS OF LAND AND PROPERTY OWNERSHIP OF PENGLAI MINING

On 27 November 2014, Non-ferrous Group, Mr. Wang Zhiqiang and Jinmao Mining, as the counterparties of the Company's Previous Restructuring, issued the Commitment Letter on the Completeness of Rights in respect of Subject Assets of the Material Asset Restructuring (the "Commitment Letter") and undertook that Penglai Mining would complete procedures for the State-owned Land Use Right Certificate in respect of the collective lands currently leased for its principal production and operation and relevant formalities for the Property Ownership Certificate in respect of operating-purpose buildings built on the lands pertaining to the State-owned Land Use Right Certificate by 30 June 2016.

As the said commitment could not be fulfilled on or before the aforesaid expiry date, the term of the commitment was extended twice by the consideration and approval of board meetings and general meetings of the Company in 2016 and 2017, which extended the performance period of the commitment to 30 June 2020.

- 2 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

As the lands and properties currently occupied by Penglai Mining for production and operation is affected by several factors such as the re-evaluation of the coverage of environmental protection zones and the state-owned land expropriation indicators, the procedures for applying relevant certificates were not completed by 30 June 2020. On 28 June 2020, Non-ferrous Group, Jinmao Mining and Mr. Wang Zhiqiang issued the Supplementary Commitment Letter in respect of the extension of performing the commitment: they will assist Penglai Mining to complete procedures for the State-owned Land Use Right Certificate for the lands other than the tailings depot that have not obtained certificates and formalities for the Property Ownership Certificate for the operating-purpose buildings thereon by 30 June 2023.

If Penglai Mining fails to complete procedures for the ownership certificates in respect of lands and properties stated above by 30 June 2023 (the "Extension"), upon the demand of the Company, Non-ferrous Group, Jinmao Mining and Mr. Wang Zhiqiang will, based on their respective shareholdings in Penglai Mining, buy back all equity interests of Penglai Mining at the price not lower than the net asset valuation level of Penglai Mining determined in the Previous Restructuring and assume the responsibility to compensate or indemnify the Company against all actual losses arising therefrom.

For details of the Extension, please refer to Appendix I to this circular.

The Board is of the view that the Extension is not a material amendment to the Commitment Letter. The Extension is not subject to reporting, announcement and Shareholders' approval requirements under the Hong Kong Listing Rules. According to the Shanghai Listing Rules and the Articles of Association, the Extension has to be submitted to the EGM for Independent Shareholders' consideration and approval.

The aforesaid resolution was considered and approved by the Board on 23 July 2020 and will be submitted, by way of ordinary resolution, for the Shareholders' consideration and approval at the EGM.

  1. SHARE COMPENSATION FOR NOT REALISING PERFORMANCE COMMITMENT AGAINST THE SUBJECT ASSETS UNDER THE COMPANY'S MATERIAL ASSET RESTRUCTURING

Pursuant to the Prospectus, in May 2015, the Company entered into an agreement with Non-ferrous Group pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue some A Shares to Non-ferrous Group for the acquisition of the 70.65% equity interest in Guilaizhuang Gold Mine (歸來莊金礦) and 51% equity interest in Penglai Mining (蓬萊金礦) held by Non-ferrous Group (the "Asset Acquisition Agreement").

It is also further stated in the Prospectus that a profit forecast compensation agreement was entered into between the Company and Non-ferrous Group which was subsequently supplemented in 2015 (together, the "Compensation Agreement"). Pursuant to the terms of the Compensation Agreement, Non-ferrous Group shall compensate the Company with corresponding amounts of A Shares held by it should the committed profit for the year was not achieved. As Non-ferrous Group was affected by certain industrial safety accidents of third parties in the region and failed to achieve the net profit for the year committed in its undertakings in 2016, it was required to compensate 13,015,060 A Shares to the Company, and the above compensation shall proceed after the end of performance commitment period in 2019. The said shares were being held by Non-ferrous Group without voting power and no dividends were ever paid with respect to the said shares held by Non-ferrous Group. As at the Latest Practicable Date, Non-ferrous Group is obliged to compensate a total of 18,221,084 A Shares ("Compensation Shares") as a result of the bonus issue under the 2018 profit distribution plan of the Company and is subject to further adjustment pursuant to the bonus issue implemented under the 2019 profit distribution plan of the Company.

If Penglai Mining fails to complete procedures for the State-owned Land Use Right Certificate in respect of the collective lands currently leased for its principal production and operation within the term of commitment stated above, Non-ferrous Group, Wang Zhiqiang and Jinmao Mining would, based on their respective shareholdings in Penglai Mining, buy back all equity interest of Penglai Mining at the price not lower than the net asset valuation level of Penglai Mining determined in the previous restructuring and assume the responsibility to compensate or indemnify the Company against all actual losses arising therefrom.

On 13 June 2016, the 29th meeting of the fourth session of the Board of the Company considered and passed the Resolution on Approving Non-ferrous Group, Wang Zhiqiang and Jinmao Mining to Extend the Term of Commitment in Relation to Remedying Defects of the Land and Property Ownership of Penglai Mining and submitted the resolution to the 2nd extraordinary general meeting of 2016 held by the Company on 30 June 2016 for consideration and approval, thereby extending the performance period of such commitment to 30 June 2017.

NON-FERROUS GROUP, WANG ZHIQIANG AND JINMAO MINING

TO EXTEND THE TERM OF COMMITMENT IN RELATION TO REMEDYING

DEFECTS OF THE LAND AND PROPERTY OWNERSHIP OF PENGLAI MINING

After making such commitment, Non-ferrous Group, Wang Zhiqiang and Jinmao Mining, as original shareholders of Penglai Mining, made their best efforts to urge and assist Penglai Mining to complete procedures for relevant certificates. Procedures for the State-owned Land Use Right Certificate in respect of the lands Penglai Mining occupies for its production and operation involved the state-owned land acquisition quota, but Penglai City had a tight land acquisition quota at the time. As a result, it was impossible to complete the procedures for all land use right certificates and property ownership certificates within the scope of commitment by 30 June 2017, and the 39th meeting of the fourth session of the Board of the Company considered and passed the Resolution on Approving Non-ferrous Group, Wang Zhiqiang and Jinmao Mining to Extend the Term of Commitment in Relation to Remedying Defects of the Land and Property Ownership of Penglai Mining and submitted the resolution to the third extraordinary general meeting of 2017 held by the Company on 14 July 2017 for consideration and approval, thereby extending the performance period of such commitment to 30 June 2020.

On 28 June 2020, the Company received letters respectively from Non-ferrous Group, Wang Zhiqiang and Jinmao Mining, which stated that although Penglai Mining has been making its best efforts to complete procedures for relevant certificates, it still could not complete the procedures for applying the certificates by 30 June 2020 as the lands and properties that have not obtained certificates were subject to the adjustment of ecological protection redline, the state-owned land acquisition quota and other factors, and asked for an extension of the performance period of the aforesaid commitment in relation to remedying defects of the land and property ownership other than the tailings depot of Penglai Mining to 30 June 2023.

  1. Progress of Applying for Relevant Land and Property Certificates
    1. Progress of Applying for Land Use Right Certificates

Penglai Mining had undertook that it would apply for certificates for lands of 94,921.7 square meters. As at 30 June 2020, it has obtained land use right certificates pertaining to Huluxian Mine (Peng Guo Yong [2016] No. 0206) and Hougezhuang Mine (Peng Guo Yong [2016] No. 0205), involving lands of 15,962 square meters in total. Lands that have not obtained certificates covered 78,959.7 square meters in aggregate, including seven land parcels for the auxiliary shaft of Chugezhuang Deposit, No. 8 shaft of Hexi Deposit and the main shaft of Qijiagou Deposit, the main shaft of Qiangjiagou Deposit, the hoisting shaft of Hougezhuang Deposit, Ningjia Shaft of Huluxian Deposit and Hexi Tailings Depot. Applications in respect of such lands have been submitted to Penglai Land and Resources Bureau in 2016.

Shandong Province began to adjust the scope of ecological protection redline since 2017 and now has yet to announce the adjustment plan. The land grant formalities are subject to the obtaining of new mining permits for the boundary and capacity expansion and the integration of Huluxian Mine and Qijiagou Mine of Penglai Mining. Affected by the events stated above, the said mines of Penglai Mining have not acquired new mining permits up to date, and the applications for land certificates are therefore delayed.

2. Progress of Applying for Property Ownership Certificates

Penglai Mining had undertook that it would apply for property ownership certificates for properties of 9,235.55 square meters. As at 30 June 2020, it has obtained property ownership certificates pertained to properties of 2,508.71 square meters. Among those that have not obtained property ownership certificates, 1,102.5 square meters of Huluxian Mine has acquired the land use right certificate, and the property ownership certificate is subject to the approval of integration project in the mine. Property ownership certificates in respect of other properties are subject to the acquisition of respective land use certificates.

  1. Continuous Consummation of Relevant Land and Property Ownership Arrangements

Non-ferrous Group, Jinmao Mining and Wang Zhiqiang will continue to urge and assist Penglai Mining for the granting of land acquisition quota for the purpose of relevant land use right certificates. After the closure, Hexi Tailings Depot will adopt land reclamation to avoid any impact on subsequent land utilization. According to the existing guidelines specified in green mine construction plans of the State and Shandong Province, it is difficult for the tailings depot to apply for the land use right certificate by way of land grant. Therefore, Penglai Mining proposes that it will not apply for the land use right certificate for Hexi Tailings Depot (41,379 square meters) within the scope of the aforesaid commitment and will use the land by way of land leasing within the scope permitted by national policies.

For other lands except the tailings depot, Penglai Mining will apply for project lands for the capacity and boundary expansion of Huluxian Gold Mine and the integration project of Qijiagou Mine after the determination of Shandong provincial ecological protection redline and address the issue of land acquisition quota in respect of such lands pending for consummation, so that it will be able to obtain relevant land and property ownership certificates.

Subsequent work plans and approval procedures for the land and property pertaining to the integration and capacity and boundary expansion projects stated above are as follows:

IV. Extension of Performance Period of the Commitment and the Supplementary Commitment

On 28 June 2020, Non-ferrous Group, Jinmao Mining and Wang Zhiqiang issued the Supplementary Commitment Letter in respect of the extension of performing the commitment: they will assist Penglai Mining to continue to apply for the State-owned Land Use Right Certificate and the Property Ownership Certificate for the land and property other than the tailings depot that have not obtained certificates within the scope permitted by the national policies; Non-ferrous Group, Jinmao Mining and Wang Zhiqiang will, based on their original shareholdings in Penglai Mining, bear the land grant fees within the scope of national policies paid in respect of applying for land use right certificates, the fees for applying for property ownership certificates, the administrative penalty fees (if incurred) caused by the land and property defects in the early stage and others. If Penglai Mining fails to complete procedures for the ownership certificates in respect of lands and properties other than the tailings depot that have not obtained certificates by 30 June 2023, upon the demand of the Company, Non-ferrous Group, Jinmao Mining and Wang Zhiqiang will, based on their respective shareholdings in Penglai Mining, buy back all equity interest of Penglai Mining at the price not lower than the net asset valuation level of Penglai Mining determined in the previous restructuring and assume the responsibility to compensate or indemnify the Company against all actual losses arising therefrom.

  1. Approval Status of Board Meeting

Up to now, it has been almost four years since the Company completed its previous restructuring, during which Penglai Mining has achieved stable operation and a total of RMB410,307,400 of net profit from 2016 to 2019. The fulfilment of the profit commitment contributed to the growth of the operating results of the Company. In the meantime, Penglai Mining has not been punished by relevant authorities so far because of defects of the land and property ownership. The said counterparties have also made the supplementary commitment that they will assume the responsibility to compensate or indemnify Shandong Gold against all actual losses arising therefrom in the future.

The 37th meeting of the fifth session of the Board held on 23 July 2020 considered and passed the Resolution on Approving Non-ferrous Group, Wang Zhiqiang and Jinmao Mining to Extend the Term of Commitment in Relation to Remedying Defects of the Land and Property Ownership of Penglai Mining, with six votes for, zero against and zero abstained (Li Guohong, Wang Lijun and Wang Xiaoling, being interested Directors, abstained from voting), and agreed to the proposal that Non-ferrous Group, Wang Zhiqiang and Jinmao Mining will extend the performance period of the commitment in relation to consummating the land and property ownership of Penglai Mining to 30 June 2023 and that Penglai Mining will not apply for the State-owned Land Use Right Certificate for the land in respect of Hexi Tailings Depot (41,379 square meters) and use the land by way of land leasing within the scope permitted by national policies.

VI. Opinions from the Independent Non-executive Directors

The independent non-executive Directors of the Company confirmed prior to submission of the resolution to the Board for consideration, and issued the independent opinions as follows:

  1. The original term of commitment of the application for land certificates is delayed as Shandong Gold Group Penglai Mining Co., Ltd. ("Penglai Mining") was affected by the adjustment of ecological protection redline in Shandong Province, the application of new mining permit and other factors. Shandong Gold Non-ferrous Metal Mine Group Co., Ltd., the natural person Wang Zhiqiang and Yantai Jinmao Mining Co., Ltd., being original shareholders, intended to extend the term of commitment of remedying defects of the land and property ownership of Penglai Mining and Hexi Tailings Depot of Penglai Mining used the land by way of land leasing within the scope permitted by national policies. Aforesaid measures are helpful to original shareholders in facilitating Penglai Mining in applying for land use rights and housing ownership certificates. Original shareholders bear the cost of applying certificates under national policies. Aforesaid measures are reasonable and fair, without prejudice to the interests of the Company and other shareholders.
  2. The extension of the performance period of the commitment in relation to remedying defects of the land and property ownership of Penglai Mining by Non-ferrous Group, Wang Zhiqiang and Jinmao Mining constitutes a connected transaction. Interested directors have abstained from voting for the approval of the resolution which was approved.

It is agreed to submit the resolution to the 2nd extraordinary general meeting of 2020 of the Company for consideration.

The announcement is hereby made.

COMMITMENT AGAINST THE SUBJECT ASSETS UNDER THE

COMPANY'S MATERIAL ASSET RESTRUCTURING

  1. Background of the Share Compensation

Approved by China Securities Regulatory Commission pursuant to "the Approval on the Asset Acquisition and Relevant Fundraising of Shandong Gold Mining Co., Ltd. by Issuing Shares to Shandong SDG Group Co., Ltd. and Other Entities" (Zheng Jian Xu Ke [2015] No. 2540), Shandong Gold Mining Co., Ltd. (the "Company" or "Shandong Gold") completed the asset acquisition and relevant fundraising by issuing shares and the connected transaction (the "Previous Restructuring") in October 2016. In the Previous Restructuring, the Company issued shares to Shandong SDG Group Co., Ltd. ("SDG Group"), Shandong Gold Non-ferrous Metal Mine Group Co., Ltd. ("Non-ferrous Group"), Shandong SDG Exploration Co., Ltd. ("SDG Exploration"), Yantai City Jinmao Mining Co., Ltd. and Wang Zhiqiang, to acquire the exploration and mining permits of Dongfeng mine area and relevant assets and liabilities, the exploration permit of Xinli mine area, 70.65% equity interest in Guilaizhuang Company and 100% equity interest in Penglai Mining.

According to "Measures for the Administration of the Material Asset Restructurings of Listed Companies", income approach shall be adopted in the evaluation and shall serve as the pricing basis; parties of a transaction shall enter into a compensation agreement when the actual profits of relevant assets fall short of the profit forecast. As such, the Company has signed the Profit Forecast Compensation Agreement and relevant supplemental agreement (the "Agreement") with SDG Group, Non-ferrous Group and SDG Exploration.

  1. Specific Terms and Execution of Profit Forecast Compensation
    1. Committed compensation period of profit forecast. Pursuant to the Agreement, the committed compensation period in respect of SDG Group, Non-ferrousGroup and SDG Exploration and their subject assets fully expires in the fourth year after the completion of the Previous Restructuring, being the year of 2019.
  1. Beneficiaries and amounts of profit forecast compensation. According to the special audit reports on the realization of committed performance, which is issued by TianYuanQuan Certified Public Accountants for the period from 2017 to 2020, during the performance commitment period, both SDG Group and SDG Exploration have achieved the committed profits for the performance commitment period, while Non-ferrousGroup failed to achieve the performance commitment for the year of 2016. In accordance with the Profit Forecast Compensation Agreement and the calculation based on the terms of the supplemental agreement, the number of shares which Non-ferrousGroup should compensate is 13,015,060 shares, and relevant matters have been considered and approved by the Company at the 36th meeting of the fourth session of the Board held on 11 April 2017, further details of which are set out in the Announcement of Shandong Gold Mining Co., Ltd. on the Profit Commitment of Guilaizhuang Company for 2016 and the Compensation (Reference No.: Lin 2017-026).

COMMITMENT AGAINST THE SUBJECT ASSETS UNDER THE

COMPANY'S MATERIAL ASSET RESTRUCTURING

Pursuant to the Agreement, if there are ex-right and ex-dividend activities including bonus issue, allotment and capitalization issue during the profit forecast compensation period, the number of shares which parties of the Previous Restructuring should compensate shall be adjusted accordingly. In August 2019, the Company implemented the 2018 Annual Profit Distribution Plan, issuing additional 0.4 share for each existing share to all shareholders; therefore, the number of shares which Non-ferrous Group should compensate increased to 18,221,084 shares.

  1. Impairment test. Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company has engaged TianYuanQuan Certified Public Accountants to conduct impairment test on the subject assets when the profit forecast compensation period expires, which has issued the Special Audit Report on Impairment Test of Subject Assets Injected in the Material Asset Restructuring (TianYuanQuan Zhuan Shen Zi [2020] No. 000150, TianYuanQuan Zhuan Shen Zi [2020] No. 000151 and TianYuanQuan Zhuan Shen Zi [2020] No. 000152). The value of respective subject assets of the Previous Restructuring as at 31 December 2019, net of capital increase and capital reduction by shareholders, acceptance of grants and profit distribution that have affected subject assets during the performance commitment period, upon calculation and making comparison with the transaction consideration of the Previous Restructuring, indicates that no impairment has been incurred, SDG Group, Non-ferrous Group and SDG Exploration is not obliged to make any share compensation.

(IV) Profit distribution. Pursuant to the Agreement, if the Company makes cash distribution during the profit forecast compensation period, the corresponding cash distribution portion in respect of compensation shares shall be refunded accordingly.

  1. The compensation amount for its failing to realize performance commitment

As set out above, SDG Group and SDG Exploration, the counterparties to the Previous Restructuring, have both fulfilled the committed profits for the respective performance commitment periods, while Non-ferrous Group, another counterparty to the Previous Restructuring, needs to compensate the Company and cancel of 18,221,084 shares for the year of
