VANCOUVER, June 15 /CNW/ - Red Dragon Resources Corp. (the "Company") is pleased to announce the signing of a Letter of Intent (LOI) with AP Energy Investments Ltd. (AP), a Chinese private company, to purchase, explore and develop a number of zinc properties in the Weixi district of southwest China.

Details of the LOI are:
- AP has purchased Baimaji Mining Ltd., which owns a mining lease, and
is in discussions with several other property owners to purchase and
consolidate the surrounding mining leases and exploration concessions
for a total area of approximately 15 square kilometres.
- The mining leases and exploration concessions cover stratigraphy that
is known to host lead-zinc mineralization over an eight kilometre
strike length and is currently the focus of small scale artisinal
mining.
- The Company will have a 9 month due diligence period to evaluate the
potential of the project.
- If the Company elects to proceed with further exploration and/or a
feasibility study after the due diligence period, the Company has the
option to earn up to a 60% interest in the project by funding
exploration and/or a feasibility study to the amount equal to
1.5 times AP's total investment in the project. The cost of
exploration work during the due diligence period by the Company will
form part of the investment to earn up to a 60% interest in the
project.
- Once the Company has attained a 60% interest in the project, the cost
of exploration and development will be paid by both parties based on
their respective interest. Should one party elect not to invest, its
ownership in the project will be diluted accordingly.


The properties forming part of the LOI are located approximately 25 kilometres southeast of the companies Baoming and Shanchuan projects, all of which have known zinc occurrences and similar geology as the Lanping Mine located 100 kilometres to the south. The Lanping Mine is the largest zinc mine in China with annual production of 100,000 tonnes of zinc per year. Grab samples collected from outcrops and adits on the properties that form part of the LOI grade up to 27.6% zinc and commonly average 6-10% zinc.

The 2007 exploration program on the Company's Baoming and Shanchuan projects is well underway with the establishment of two 30-man camps, road rehabilitation, soil and stream sediment sampling, and geological mapping. Drill permits are expected from the Chinese Federal Government for the Baoming project pending the delineation of final limits of the nearby proposed Nature Reserve. Should the permit not be received in the immediate future, the Company will move the drill and crews that have been contracted from Victor Drilling Ltd. to the Baimaji project to conduct exploration drilling as part of the due diligence study.

Alvin Jackson, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of Red Dragon, comments "I am confident that we will eventually receive the permit, although the permitting process has taken longer than expected. In the interim, we will conduct low cost systematic exploration programs on Baoming and Shanchuan projects to define additional drill targets. The LOI signed with AP gives us the opportunity to evaluate a number of zinc occurrences in the Three Rivers Base Metal Belt that is known to host the largest zinc mine in China and one of the top ten zinc deposits in the world."

Red Dragon is well financed to carry out exploration programs on their existing properties in China as well as the new properties that will form part of the LOI with AP.

Laboratory Procedures:

Rock samples were analyzed by International Plasma Labs Ltd. in Kunming, China, an ISO9001:2000 certified laboratory. Samples arriving at the laboratory in Kunming are sorted, dried and crushed to -20 mesh. The sample is then reduced to a 250 gram charge by repeated passes through a riffle splitter and then pulverized to 90% passing -200 mesh. The sample is then rolled to assure a homogeneous particle distribution and transferred to a bag for analysis. Lead and zinc were analyzed by classical wet chemical techniques. Silver was analyzed by fire assay with atomic absorption spectrometer (AAS) finish. Red Dragon Resource Corp. has inserted quality control samples in addition to quality control samples inserted by the laboratory.
