In 2012, Acetop Precious Metals Limited swept awards from different associations, e.g., the Outstanding Enterprise Award for the Best Precious Metals Trading Platform given by the CAPITAL; the Best Gold Trading Platform Award given by the Shanghai Investment Banking and Finance Exhibition; the Most Competitive and Honorable Brand of the Gold Investment Industry in China Award given by the “Jing Ji” Magazine; and the Top 10 Industry Award for the Most Credible Brands in Asia given by the Asia Brand Association. These awards and their recognition has been the proof that Acetop Precious Metals Limited has established itself as an authoritative company in our industry. In November, we were named both the “Best Precious Metals Trading Platform of 2012” and the “2012 Most Influential Gold Investment Company in Marketing” by China's No.1 financial portal, Hexun.com, at the "The 2012 Gold Market Forum on Game Theory, Transformation, and Conformation Standard" and "The Hexun’s 2012 Gold Industry Annual Champion Awards Ceremony." We were also fortunate enough to be invited to participate this event as a platinum sponsor.

The Summit Forum Champion Award of the precious metals industry -- the equivalent to the Oscars in the United States film industry -- was held in Shenzhen on 17 November 2012. The forum aims at promoting healthy business practices, the advancement for reasonable development, and setting a clear direction for investors to achieve their investment goals. To make the forum more authoritative and as a best reference source, the organizer invited the authoritative industry experts and leaders to speak at the awards ceremony, such as Mr Xi Jianhua, the executive vice president of the Chinese Academy of Gold Investment; Mr Fung Chi-kin, the permanent honorary president of the Hong Kong CGSE; Mr Wang Wei, the editor-in-chief of Hexun.com, and Mr Paul Cheung Chi-pok, the Registered Director of Acetop Precious Metals Limited. On the same day of the ceremony, several of the invited leading investment experts also joined the roundtable forum. All of them agreed that the gold industry in China and its market development will likely welcome yet another "ten golden years," and that China will become the fastest-growing country for gold. This means that gold will continue to remain a hot investment and it will continue to shine.

"China's Financial Industry Champion Contest" was initiated by Hexun.com, and jointly hosted by both Hexun.com and China Securities Market Research and Design Center. The year 2012 marked the 10th annual contest, drawing a lot of attention from the people in the industry and a vast majority of investors. Besides the Acetop Precious Metals Limited being the winner of the 2012 Financial Industry Champions, other winners include Industrial and Commercial Bank of China Ltd. (ICBC), Bank of China Limited, Industrial Bank (China), among others. All the championship winners are well-known and outstanding companies within the industry. Their appearance proves the gold industry is flourishing, and that it will continue to do so in the future.

Acetop Precious Metals Limited is especially honored to have received such a prestigious award from China's No.1 financial portal, Hexun.com, as the winner of the "Best Precious Metals Trading Platform of 2012" and “2012 Most Influential Gold Investment Company in Marketing.” In the future, we will have even stronger and deeper cooperation with Hexun.com and make our progress together.
