Exhibit 99.2

Gulf Resources, Inc. Subsidiary to Commercialize New Environmentally Friendly
Oil Fluid System

New fluid system recognized by all three of China's major oil groups; Purchase
Letter of Intents Signed

NEW YORK and SHANDONG, China, Jan. 7 /Xinhua-PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Gulf
Resources, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: GFRE - News), a leading Bromine producer in
the People's Republic of China (the 'PRC'), today announced that its wholly
owned subsidiary, Shouguang Yu Xin Chemical Industry Co., Ltd. (SYCI), a
specialty chemical manufacturer, has successfully developed and is ready to
commercialize in April, 2008, a new type of environmentally friendly oil field
drilling fluid system. The company has filed a patent for this proprietary
product.

The new product includes a polyol drilling fluid system and polyatomic alcohol
drilling fluid system. Because of their environmental friendly characteristics,
these systems are widely used under all circumstances, both in land and sea
operations. The system also has unique advantages in protecting oil and gas
formation, preventing collapse and lubricating. Compared with other drilling
fluids, the system is not only environmentally friendly but also enables
low-density drilling. The system provides timely detection of oil and gas
formation, strengthens the clay particles on the wall to provide stability which
prevents the collapse of the reservoir and also lubricates the drilling wall.
The system has been successfully recognized by China's three major oil groups,
Sinopec, CNOOC and CNPC, which is necessary to receive orders. Letters of intent
to purchase this product has been signed with CNPC's subsidiaries, the Tarim
Oilfield and CNPC Sichuan Petroleum with initial delivery to occur in May.
Currently, the market for this product is estimated by the Company at 30,000
tons with a current selling price of $1,512 ($11,000 RMB) per ton creating a $45
million market. Initial SYCI production capacity is expected to be 3,000 to
5,000 tons annually.

'We are pleased to announce that Shouguang Yu Xin's new environmental friendly
oil drilling fluid system is ready for commercialization. We are leveraging our
Company's development capabilities for new product introductions to our
installed customer base, which we expect to further strengthen our market
position in the oilfield chemical industry. This has laid a solid foundation for
us to enter major domestic oil fields in the future, creating another
significant growth opportunity for our shareholders,' commented Gulf Resources,
Inc. CEO, Mr. Yang Ming.

Exhibit 99.4

Gulf Resources Provides Calendar 2008 Financial Guidance

Management Expects to Report Revenues of $87 Million and Net Income of $23.5
Million

NEW YORK and Shandong Province, China, Jan. 9 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- Gulf
Resources, Inc. (the 'Company') (OTC Bulletin Board: GFRE), a leading producer
of Bromine and specialty chemicals in China through its two wholly-owned
subsidiaries, Shuoguang City Haoyuan Chemical Company Limited ('SCHC'), and
Shouguang Yu Xin Chemical Industry Co., Ltd. ('SYCI'), today announced financial
guidance for calendar 2008.

Management expects to report 2008 revenues of $87 million, net income of
approximately $23.5 million and earnings per share of $0.23, based on the
approximately 100 million shares currently outstanding.

The guidance provided today includes only the current operations, including the
estimated contribution from the recently announced Hanting area asset purchase,
and does not take into account any future asset purchases or acquisitions.
Management expects that its 'SCHC' subsidiary will process, produce and ship
approximately 31,000 tons of bromine for the 2008 calendar year and expects this
subsidiary to generate $65 million in revenue. Through its current product
portfolio and new product introductions, including bromine based compounds which
were previously announced, the Company expects its 'SYCI' subsidiary to
contribute revenue of $22 million for 2008.

'The management team has executed on its growth plan while the domestic bromine
market in China continues to experience strong demand. This factor, in addition
to the RMB currency appreciation is anticipated to drive further bromine price
increases. We continue to evaluate additional unlicensed bromine facilities in
our immediate geographic area and expect to complete several asset purchases
this year, with the goal of attaining at least a 20 percent market share by the
end of 2008. Our exploitation license provides the conduit to pursue these
opportunities and is a key asset for our company. Any contemplated acquisition
is expected to be incremental to this guidance,' stated Gulf Resources Inc. CEO
Mr. Ming Yang.

'We are experiencing growth in both of our operating subsidiaries, which is
being driven through organic expansion and targeted asset purchases. 'SCHC' will
continue to make capital improvements where appropriate, including new bromine
wells and convey trench lines, while leveraging new integrated production
processes to improve capacity utilization. Further, our 'SYCI' subsidiary plans
to purchase two deep processing plants which produce bromine- based derivatives,
a market we are focused on penetrating, which will provide incremental revenue
growth and further margin enhancements. These contemplated purchases would be
incremental to this guidance.'

About Bromine

Bromine and bromine compounds are used for a wide variety of different
applications. Some bromine compounds are effective flame retardants, and nearly
one-half of the bromine consumed annually is used in flame retardants for
household and industrial applications. The agriculture industry uses bromine in
pesticides. Bromine compounds are also used in oil-well drilling fluids,
sanitary preparations, and an assortment of other applications including water
purification chemicals, fumigants, dyes, medicines, and inorganic bromides
(AgBr, silver bromide) used in films and photographic processes.

Bromine-containing chemicals are used in swimming pools and industrial cooling
towers to control algae, bacteria, and odors. Some bromine-containing pesticides
are used in the production or storage of food crops. Bromine also is used in the
production of oil and gas well completion drilling fluids. Thanks to bromine
chemicals, we now have photographic films and papers, dyes, inks, sedatives,
analgesics, anesthetics and other drugs, hydraulic fluids, refrigerating and
dehumidifying agents, and hair-waving preparations.
