SHOUGUANG, China, May 13, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Gulf Resources, Inc. (Nasdaq:GURE) (&quot;Gulf Resources&quot; or the &quot;Company&quot;),
a leading manufacturer of bromine, crude salt and specialty chemical products in China, today announced its unaudited and preliminary

<UL STYLE="list-style-type: disc; font-family: Times New Roman, Times, Serif">

<LI STYLE="margin: 0pt 0; font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif">On April 2, 2019 Gulf Resources received governmental approval
to open bromine factory #7 (a combination of factories #5 and #7) and sub-factory #1 (now called factory #4). These factories have
begun operation in April, 2019.</LI>

<LI STYLE="margin: 0pt 0; font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif">During the first quarter 2019, Gulf commenced trial production
at its natural gas well in Sichuan Province.</LI>

<LI STYLE="margin: 0pt 0; font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif">Despite the lack of operations for most of the past 18 months
and the substantial investment in new facilities, Gulf ended the quarter with:<BR>
&deg;&nbsp;&nbsp;Cash of $179,653,141 or $3.83* per share<BR>
&deg;&nbsp;&nbsp;Net Net Cash (Cash minus all liabilities) of $163,810,739 or $3.49* per share<BR>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">During the first quarter of 2019, Gulf Resources made progress
in moving to reopen its bromine and crude salt facilities. On April 2, shortly after the end of this quarter, we received an approval
to open bromine factories #7 (a combination of factories #5 and #7) and subdivision of factory #1 (which will now be called factory
#4). During April, we began production and testing our new equipment. Because these factories have been rectified completely, we
are during both testing and initial production stage. Once we are satisfied with the operations, we will begin full production.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">We also received approvals for the inside rectification of factories
#1 and #9 and are now focusing on the outside rectification. We currently expect to receive approvals for these factories by the
end of Q2 2019 or early Q3 2019. Upon receipt of all required approval, we will follow the same processes we are using with our
existing factories.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">The remaining three factories #2, 8, and 10 are going through
rectification. Most of these rectifications are related to the planning approval and the land use rights approval. As previously
noted, we entered into a contract with a third party to allow the Company to use the land adjacent to factory #10 for waste water
discharge and have invested $1.0 million to build an aqueduct to discharge the waste water.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">Because of the factory closure issue and RMB weakness, the price
of bromine has been exceptionally high, at about RMB 35,000 Yuan per tonne. At these levels, we believe our business can be profitable.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">Because of our strong cash position, we will consider about
potential acquisitions. We believe our strong relations with the local government and our experience in rectifying our facilities
and receiving approvals, should enable us to acquire bromine assets from smaller, struggling competitors at attractive valuations.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">We are still awaiting final approval for our new chemical facilities.
We have already spent $10.9 million on the land and the plans for the factory that will be located in the Bohai Marine Fine Chemical
Industrial Park. We expect to receive the required approvals before we can begin construction. We expect our chemical factory to
be operational before the end of 2020.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">In addition, because the Shandong provincial government has
announced the permanent closing of more than 600 chemical factories in Shandong Province, we expect our chemical factory, when
it finally opens, to face less competition.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">Trial production at our first well in Daying County, Sichuan
Province started 4 months ago. We believe our trial production is on track. During the first quarter we sold $38,570 of natural
gas. While the revenue from natural gas is nominal, we consider it to be substantial progress. We expect trial production to last
for another three to four months, after which we expect to move to commercial production stage.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">As we enter commercial production, we expect to increase production
gradually. Our mid-term production goal is approximately 20,000 cubic meters per day.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">We are in the process of applying for related certificates to
drill more gas wells. With years of knowledge building for our personal and equipped facility we expect to expand our natural gas
business.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&ldquo;To meet the new environmental rules,&rdquo; Mr. Liu continued,
&ldquo;the government has forced the closing of a lot of bromine, crude salt, and chemical facilities in Shandong Province. We
believe this could mean less competition, higher prices, more opportunities and greater profitability to players in our industry.
In addition, new regulations are expected to greater demand for clean burning fuels like natural gas.&rdquo; &nbsp;</P>
