Secures Mine Exploration Permit Extension To 2026; Presence of Copper Could Lead to Asset Revaluation</B></P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; background-color: white"><B>&nbsp;</B></P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; background-color: white"><B>HONG KONG, March 14,
2022</B> &ndash; China Natural Resources, Inc<FONT STYLE="text-transform: uppercase">. (NASDAQ: CHNR)</FONT> (the
&ldquo;Company&rdquo;) announced today that it has secured an extension of its exploration permit for the Moruogu Tong mine in Inner
Mongolia. Apart from lead and silver, there is the prospect that further surveying and exploration may indicate the presence of
other ores such as copper, which the Company believes could lead to a revaluation of its exploration rights. Given the increased
scarcity of valuable minerals, the Company plans to increase its capital expenditures to fund exploration and pre-mining programs in
2022.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; background-color: white">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; background-color: white">Mr. Wong Wah On Edward, Chairman
of the Company, commented, &ldquo;The global surge in raw materials costs has put an even greater urgency on exploration opportunities
and a higher valuation on assets like our Moruogu Tong mine. This has been compounded by import restrictions, which are further increasing
the value of such assets. Given the substantial global pressure and ever increasing demand, we intend to increase capital expenditures
in 2022 to fund exploration and pre-mining programs. We hope to accelerate discovery, development and production as fast as possible to
both help in the shortage and to better monetize our asset for shareholders.&rdquo;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; background-color: white">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; background-color: white">Mr. Wong Wah On Edward, continued,
&ldquo;The bottom line is we do not see the global supply shortage or pricing pressures easing any time soon. We expect the situation
will become more severe as effects ripple across key manufacturing markets, impacting end market inventory and pricing. Even before the
recent global conflict, commodity prices were volatile. Many steel mills are running very low on raw materials, automotive production
has slowed in some markets and many other industries are expected to be impacted through 2022 due to the limited availability and higher
prices of lead, silver, lithium and other precious minerals. As part of our exploration efforts, we also plan to assess the viability
of the economic extraction of copper over the coming year based on the close proximity of a large copper mine currently under exploration
near our mine. Although there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to extract any minerals found in the Moruogu Tong mine
in an economically viable manner, if this proves to be another positive finding, it would add yet another value layer onto our Moruogu
Tong mine.&rdquo;</P>
