	Jinshan To Extend Warrants As Part Of Loan Transaction

VANCOUVER, CANADA - Jinshan Gold Mines Inc. (TSX: JIN) announces that its subsidiary, Ningxia Pacific Mining Co. Ltd., has obtained approval for an unsecured US$19,116,000 (Renminbi ("RMB") 130,000,000) bridge loan ("Bridge Loan"), with the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China ("ICBC"), the largest commercial bank in China. The Bridge Loan is designed to support operations at the CSH gold mine during the installation of crushers and Phase II construction. A larger senior facility is expected to be arranged with ICBC in the fourth quarter of 2008 that will retire the Bridge Loan facility. The Bridge Loan is denominated in Renminbi, and based on the indicative terms, interest will be payable monthly at an annual interest rate of 6.57%. The principal amount will be repayable in installments of US$4,410,000 (RMB 30,000,000) in January 2009, US$7,353,000 (RMB 50,000,000) in February 2009, and US$7,353,000 (RMB 50,000,000) in March 2009. The Bridge Loan will be guaranteed by Jinshan's controlling shareholder, China National Gold Corporation (China Gold). Since the Bridge Loan does not require any gold hedging, Jinshan will maintain its current position as an entirely un-hedged gold producer. The Bridge Loan will be subject to approval by the Toronto Stock Exchange and by Jinshan's promissory noteholders.

	Jinshan to Receive US$ 19.1 Million Un-Hedged Debt Facility from the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China; New Management Appointments

Annual production was significantly up in 13 commodities, with records achieved in seven commodities. These records were delivered in 14 assets across six of our nine Customer Sector Groups (CSG). This was achieved in an environment in which supply disruptions and input cost pressures are placing challenges on the industry response to continued strong global demand for commodities.

We achieved record shipments in iron ore and manganese, at a time when pricing reached
unprecedented levels and demand outlook remains very strong. Western Australia Iron Ore achieved an eighth consecutive annual production record, maintaining an exceptional track record of project delivery. Metallurgical coal production recovered strongly from the extreme weather interruptions during the March 2008 quarter.

Newly commissioned petroleum projects in fiscally stable regimes contributed to a record performance. Ramp up of production from these projects and future growth options will continue to increase the weighting of high margin liquids in our portfolio mix at a time of historically high oil prices.

We continue to develop and deliver world class projects that add significant shareholder value. First product was delivered from 10 major projects across five commodities during the year. A further seven major projects were sanctioned during the period. Over the past quarter we announced a significant increase in our iron ore and manganese resources and reserves. This, along with the Pampa Escondida prospect (Chile), are excellent examples of our deep inventory of expansion options. These options are underpinned by an extensive exploration and development program.

	BHP BILLITON PRODUCTION REPORT FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED 31 MARCH 2008

VANCOUVER, CANADA - Jinshan Gold Mines Inc. (TSX: JIN) is pleased to report results from metallurgical testwork on two samples of sulphide mineralization from its Dadiangou Gold Project in Gansu province, China. Whole ore cyanidation tests returned gold recoveries generally in excess of 90% from the two samples. In addition, simple gravity separation was able to recover 28% to 51% of the gold prior to cyanidation of the gravity concentrate tails. Jinshan will now proceed with additional testing on a wider range of crush and grind sizes, and column testing, in order to more fully evaluate the processing options at Dadiangou.

"We are pleased to confirm that the sulphide portions of the Dadiangou deposit leach readily" said Jinshan's Vice President of Exploration, Keith Patterson. "Further work will be needed before a final process flow sheet can be determined but the first step of confirming that the gold can be extracted through simple cyanide leaching is now complete."

	SINO GOLD CONFERENCE CALL AT 11.00AM, TUESDAY 22 JULY 2008

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA July 10, 2008 — Maxy Gold Corp. MXD.TSXV ("Maxy" or “the Company”) advises that it has closed the acquisition, announced March 17, 2008, of a 100% interest in 15 gold and base metal mineral exploration properties totaling 139,070 hectares in central and southern Peru.

Andre Gauthier, President and CEO of Maxy said, “We are extremely pleased with this acquisition of a high quality exploration property package. Our team in Peru has already mobilized to start field exploration, which is slated to include drilling on the Chocos and Condoroma properties near the end of August.”

Peru Property Portfolio
All 15 Properties are located in Central and Southern Peru in well defined prospective mineralization belts. Ten properties are high sulphidation gold and silver targets, 1 a low sulphidation gold and silver target and 4 are base metal targets.

Six of the properties have had sufficient positive work on them to be near drill stage, being the Chocos (which contains the Candel target), Condoroma, Sumaq, Corina, Picha, and Canta properties. Maxy has started a full field evaluation of these properties in order to identify priority drilling targets as soon as possible. The other properties are at grass roots stage, staked on data base information targeting high sulphidation gold -silver epithermal systems, and will also be assessed in the upcoming program.

Significant results previously obtained by the operator, Minera del Suroeste S.A.C., include:
-On Chocos: 179 samples where taken from 4 veins. 13 samples returned assay values from 5% to 13% zinc (Zn); 17 samples assayed from 5% to 20% lead (Pb), and 4 samples assayed from 30 grams per tone (g/t) silver (Ag) to 261 g/t Ag.
-On Condoroma, a first pass sampling program returned copper values to 1.29%, gold (Au) values to 1.79 g/t and anomalous molybdenum values.
-On Picha, 156 samples have been taken and returned both copper (Cu) and Ag anomalies (up to 12% Cu and 169 g/t Ag).
-On Canta, 73 samples where collected one sample returned 2.23 g/t Au and up to 3,220 g/t Ag, 0.254%Cu, 3.96% Pb and up to 2.97%Zn.
-On the Sami property, wide drill intersections of low grade gold mineralization have been reported by Penoles..
On the Sumaq property, 90 samples gave up to 0.898 grams per tone gold. Other reported values ranges between 0.1 up 8.98 g/t Au.
-On the Corina property, 67 samples returned values ranging between 0.1 up 6.67 g/t Au. NI 43-101 reports on the Chocos and Condoroma properties are nearing completion. Maxy will start field work as soon as possible and has already secured a technical operating team. Maxy is planning to bring Chocos and Condoroma properties to drill stage at the end of August 2008.

Consideration for the properties, paid to the vendor, Southwestern Resources Corp. (“Southwestern”), is US $200,000 and the issuance of 1,000,000 shares, which will bring Southwestern’s holding to 3,909,600 shares, or 11.3% of Maxy’s issued capital.Southwestern will retain a 2% net smelter royalty payable on any commercial production from the Chocos and Condoroma properties.

About Maxy Gold Corp.
Maxy Gold is focused on the acquisition, exploration and responsible development of precious and base metal properties in China and Peru. In China the Company has an exploration program underway on the MIDU joint venture in Yunnan Province where gold mineralization has been identified, and has a strategic joint venture alliance in Qinghai Province with Western Mining Group, Ltd. one of China's largest mining and development
companies, where it is working two promising Au–Cu–W-Mo properties, Duoba and Danbolongwa. The Peruvian acquisition will bring different areas of opportunity and diversifies the Company’s exploration focus.

	BHP Billiton Donates US$500,000 to Support Sichuan Earthquake Relief Efforts

Beijing - 13 May 2008
International SOS, the world’s leading provider of assistance services, has activated its medical and logistics resources in Beijing, Hong Kong and Singapore, to assist the families and victims of the earthquake in Sichuan Province.
Upon notification of the disaster, International SOS convened a regional crisis management team and a team of medical and logistics experts in Beijing are on standby to be despatched to Sichuan. One team will depart at 3 pm today together with a team from the Beijing Red Cross Society to Deyang which is 200 km from the epicentre of the earthquake. 
The crisis management team is conducting advance contingency planning to prepare for individual and mass medical and security evacuations. Damage to the local and regional communications infrastructure is creating challenges for everyone, and whilst we expect this to improve over the coming days, we will aim to provide progress updates whenever we can, as the situation progresses. 

International SOS Travel Advice

In addition, we are updating clients with travel advice regularly to assist them with preparing and responding to the crisis.
There is a high likelihood of continued disruptions to power supplies, communications and transport services in Sichuan in the coming days. Authorities stated that 80 percent of the buildings in the county had collapsed or were damaged from the earthquake. Landslides and repeated tremors damaged several mountain roads in the region, forcing the closure of roads to Wenchuan (epicentre of the earthquake), Lixian and Maoxian.
International SOS would like to advise members to avoid the earthquake-affected region until the situation becomes clearer. Aftershocks are likely.
Members are advised to check the International SOS Security Online website and local media regularly for the latest information regarding the earthquake and travel disruptions. Members are also recommended to reconfirm all relevant travel arrangements and access to transport services.
At this very difficult time, we send our condolences to the victims and their families affected by the disaster. International SOS will do all we can to provide assistance to our clients, members and victims.
International SOS members who require assistance should contact the International SOS 24-hour Beijing Alarm Centre on +86 10 6462 9100.

Taichi Ball has been incorporated into each event to promote the Paralympic values of friendship,
respect, and determination. BHP Billiton is also proud to have the involvement of BHP
Billiton Scholarship recipients from the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) among the volunteers that participate in the community events.

Topic 2：The ability of the Chinese economy to decouple from a US slowdown
There has been a keen debate about the extent to which the Chinese economy will suffer as a result of the US downturn. This second presentation will look at the extent to which China can "de-couple" from a slowing US economy.
