HUIZHOU, China, April 26, 2011 /PRNewswire-Asia-FirstCall/ -- Qiao Xing Universal Resources, Inc. (NASDAQ: XING) ("XING" or the "Company"), one of the leading players in the molybdenum-mining business as well as a company with meaningful size in the resources industry, today announced that the Chifeng Aolunhua Copper-molybdenum mine ("Aolunhua"), in which it owns a 34.53% equity interest, has been designated as one of the mining entities to implement the Chinese government's initiative to promote rational and comprehensive utilization of mineral resources (the "Initiative"). RMB15 million is available to Aolunhua for participating in the Initiative.

The Initiative was launched by China's Ministry of Land and Resources ("CMLR").

We look for enhancements in production processes as well as management efficiencies," said Mr. Wu Rui Lin, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Qiao Xing Universal Resources. "This grant from the Ministry of Land and Resources will give Aolunhua more scope to innovate and develop efficient production processes for molybdenum exploration and extraction."

About Qiao Xing Universal Resources, Inc.

Qiao Xing Universal Resources, Inc. is a leading player in the molybdenum mining industry with meaningful size in the resources industry. XING focuses on mining and processing rare metal ores and several strategically important base-metal ores, including molybdenum, copper lead and zinc. XING currently owns a 100% equity interest in Balinzuo Banner Xinyuan Mining Co., Ltd. and a 34.53% equity interest in Chifeng Aolunhua Mining Co., Ltd, as well as the right to receive 100% of the expected economic residual returns from Chifeng Haozhou Mining Co., Ltd.

XING was one of the first Chinese companies to be listed on NASDAQ (in 1999) as one of the leading players in the telecommunication-terminal product business in China. In 2007, XING made the strategic decision to diversify into the resources industry. Since then, XING has made several acquisitions in the resources industry and divested its fixed-line and budget mobile phone businesses.  To reflect this change, XING changed its corporate name to Qiao Xing Universal Resources, Inc., effective January 28, 2010.

XING continues to evaluate acquisition opportunities in the resources area to strengthen its foothold in the industry. At the same time, XING is also working to divest its remaining mobile-phone business to become a pure-play resources company.
