CITY OF INDUSTRY, Calif., March 14, 2011 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- US China Mining Group, Inc., ("US China Mining") (OTC Bulletin Board: SGZH) a Chinese leader in coal production and exploration in the People's Republic of China, today announced preliminary financial guidance for the year ended 2011, ending December 31. The Company expects the following:

*Represents growth compared to 2010 revenue forecast

Management made the following assumptions to arrive at its preliminary forecasts:

"Our 2011 financial forecast reflects our confidence in executing our growth strategy," started Mr. Hongwen Li, President of US China Mining Group. "We expect strong organic growth from our coal brokerage and coal production business, which will benefit from completing the mining equipment upgrade at our Xing An mines by February 2011.  Once mining production and our coal sorting operations both reach full production by May 2011, we anticipate revenues and profits to accelerate."

"With strong cash flows, minimal capital expenditure needs, $40 million of cash on our balance as of September 30, 2010 and an additional $15 million from our private placement in the fourth quarter of 2010, we are supremely positioned to make strategic acquisitions," continued Mr. Li. "We are currently evaluating several attractive acquisition candidates both domestically and in the U.S. Based on our preliminary due diligence and progress to date, we expect to complete at least two acquisitions during 2011. We have not included any contribution from acquisitions in our 2011 forecast, which would be additive to our overall growth rate."
