January 4, 2010</font> - Gulf Resources, Inc. (NASDAQ: GFRE) (&#8220;Gulf Resources&#8221;
or the &#8220;Company&#8221;), a <font style="DISPLAY: inline">leading
manufacturer of bromine, crude salt and specialty chemical products in

Company&#8217;s board of directors approved the construction of the new chemical
additives line and expects it to start production in July of 2010 with chemical
additives production capacity of 3,000 metric tons per year. The new production
line will be located in the Company&#8217;s Yuxing Chemical Plant and the Company
estimates that it will contribute approximately $9 to $10 million in revenues
with an estimated gross profit margin over 40% in the first year of
operation.&#160;&#160;The capital expenditure for the new production line is
expected to be approximately $8 to $10 million.&#160;&#160;The Company expects
to fund the new production line with cash from operations.</font></div>

market capacity for waste water treatment additives in China was about 50,000
metric tons in 2009, and is expected to increase at an annual rate of about 15%
over the next few years due to the Chinese government&#8217;s focus on environmental
protection and efforts to increase the amount of safe drinking water. China&#8217;s
Ministry of Environmental Protection recently announced plans to invest RMB 90
billion ($13.2 billion) to construct sewage treatment systems aimed at keeping
drinking water safe.&#160;&#160;Pricing for chemical additives has been rising
in recent months due to increased demand, reaching $21,000 per metric ton in the
fourth quarter of 2009.</font></div>

planned investment in waste water treatment systems over the next few years will
accelerate demand for chemical additives used in the treatment of waste water,&#8221;
said Mr. Xiaobin Liu, Chief Executive Officer of Gulf Resources. &#8220;Bromine is one
of the main ingredients used in waste water treatment chemical
additives.&#160;&#160;As one of China&#8217;s largest bromine producers, Gulf
Resources is ideally positioned to capture growing demand for this value added
product. We expect our new production line will make a significant contribution
to revenue and profit starting in the second half of 2010. The new production
line is an important ingredient of our long term strategy.&#8221;</font></div>
