China Redstone Provides Corporate Update

CHONGQING, China, Jan. 26, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- China Redstone Group, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: CGPI) ("China Redstone" or the "Company"), the largest private provider of cemetery products and services in Chongqing, China, today provided an update on its cemetery operations and growth plans.

Cemetery Operations

China Redstone, through its operating subsidiary Chongqing Foguang Tourism Development Co. Ltd. ("Foguang"), is licensed to develop and operate cemeteries in Chongqing, China. In August 2006, the name of the cemetery project was changed from Changshou Longqiao Cemetery to Chongqing Guiyuan ("Guiyuan"). The Company applied for and received approval for the name change on August 22, 2006. Below is a summary of the current cemetery license:

Similar to licenses issued to other private cemetery operators in Chongqing, this license permits the Company to develop and operate cemeteries for as long as it has available land and is in compliance with all applicable rules and regulations issued by the Chongqing Civil Administration Bureau. The Company pays approximately $26,500 per year for the rights to develop and operate cemeteries on 164 acres of land. (Link to copy of local government policy: https://cgpi.box.net/shared/ttfak2x913; See "Exhibit II –Local Government Policy".)

The Company's operations and cemeteries are located in Chongqing, China (Link to maps: https://cgpi.box.net/shared/ttfak2x913: See "Exhibit III - Map of Guiyuan II"). Through a series of approvals from May 2003 to August 2005, the Company acquired land use rights covering approximately 667,391 square meters, or the equivalent of approximately 164 acres of land. The key components of the Guiyuan cemetery can be found below:

In addition, the Chongqing municipal government has committed to enable Foguang to secure the land use rights to approximately 1,194,804 square meters, or the equivalent of 295 acres of land and includes the Longqiao Lake (357,220 sq meters or 88 acres), which portions of Guiyuan II overlook. However, as of the date of this press release, Foguang has yet to officially receive such land use rights. Foguang has the option but is not obligated to apply for such rights in the future.

This information and the associated exhibits are available on periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").
