2012-01-23T08:14:00.000-08:00

DEERFIELD BEACH, FL - January 23, 2012 (InvestorIdeas.com Newswire) - China Direct Industries, Inc. (the "Company") ( NASDAQ:CDII), a U.S. based company that produces, sources, and distributes industrial commodities in China and the Americas and provides cross border corporate advisory services announced today that the Company's board of directors has approved a change of the Company's name to CD International Enterprises, Inc., subject to approval of its shareholders at the Company's special shareholder meeting which is expected to take place in February 2012. There is no change planned to the Company's NASDAQ trading symbol which will remain CDII.

Management believes the new corporate name reflects our new business direction to build our company into a truly global organization in 2012 and beyond as we look to grow our sourcing, processing, and distribution business in Mexico and South America. In addition, management intends to actively explore additional opportunities to further diversify its revenue geographically.
In a letter to shareholders, Dr. James Wang, CEO and Chairman of China Direct Industries, Inc., stated the following:
Dear Fellow Shareholders:
As we begin this New Year, I would like to thank each and every shareholder for your continued support and to extend our best wishes to you for a very happy and prosperous 2012. Over the course of this past year our company has achieved a great deal that will help us set the stage for future growth in fiscal 2012 and beyond. We have built a solid foundation for our company to enable us to move forward with our transformation into a truly global organization. In an effort to reflect this exciting global focus for our future, our board of directors has approved changing our corporate name to CD International Enterprises which we will adopt effective January 23, 2012. Our whole team is dedicated to our global effort and we intend to work diligently to make our company a vibrant and growing organization with a geographically diversified revenue base for the benefit of our shareholders.
As we move forward into our exciting future I think it is important to look back at the steps we have taken over the past two fiscal years as well as our future plans to position our company for this exciting new chapter in our corporate history.
In our Magnesium Segment:
1. We have reached the late stage of our planned magnesium consolidation through the acquisition of Taiyuan Ruiming Yiwei Magnesium Co., Ltd., the acquisition of the non-controlling interest in Shanxi Gu County Golden Magnesium Co., Ltd. ("Golden Magnesium"), as well as our proposed acquisitions of Golden Trust Magnesium Industry Co., Ltd. and 80% of Lingshi Xinghai Magnesium Industry Co., Ltd. If we complete our proposed acquisitions, we stand to become the largest producer of magnesium in the world with approximate annual production capacity of 100,000 metric tons. We believe our magnesium business will be the main driver of future growth in both revenue and earnings as magnesium demand is forecasted to reach new levels in fiscal years 2013 and 2014.
2. We successfully completed the implementation of our new UFIDA NC Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) financial accounting software system at our Golden Magnesium facility. We expect to continue the implementation of the ERP system in our remaining magnesium subsidiaries during fiscal 2012. Full implementation and utilization of the ERP system will help management improve corporate forecasting, overall accounting practices, and financial transparency as we grow our operations in the coming years.
3. We also plan to consolidate our raw material purchasing, sales, accounting, marketing and human resources in order to streamline our magnesium operations. We believe that the cost synergies and economies of scale will help to reduce our production costs and improve our magnesium operating margin. Our directors, Mr. Huang and Mr. Kung, will lead this effort.
In our Basic Materials Segment:
1. Our first step in the geographic diversification of our business began with the development of our international commodities sourcing and processing business. In fiscal 2011, we completed the delivery of two shipments of iron ore sourced from Mexico. Additionally, we set up operations in Bolivia and Chile in an effort to establish a continuous source of iron ore.
2. We expect to ship a total of about 100,000 tons from these three locations in the second quarter of fiscal year 2012. We believe we have the ability to ramp these operations to an average shipping run rate of approximately 100,000 tons per month in the second half of 2012 and reach a rate of 200,000 tons per month in 2013.
3. We are exploring additional sourcing opportunities in Peru for fiscal 2013 to further fuel our growth in this business as we work towards our goal of delivering six million tons of iron ore annually out of this region by 2015.
4. We also intend to establish other geographically diverse revenue streams in this segment and are currently evaluating a potential opportunity in North America for the sourcing, processing, and distribution of scrap metal and steel.
In our Consulting Segment:
1. Over the course of fiscal 2011 we helped complete two transactions for our consulting clients and increased the number of clients for which we provide ongoing advisory services. We assisted one of our advisory services clients, Sunwin International Neutraceuticals, Inc., with establishing a distribution arrangement with Domino Foods for its all-natural low calorie sweetener and we are also working with other opportunities to help them establish sales and business relationships in North America.
2. In addition, we launched the 'China Value Program' in order to expand our scope of services to China-based U.S. listed public companies. This program is tailored to assist these companies in navigating through the current market challenges for Chinese companies.
3. Through our marketing efforts we expect to continue to expand our client base in fiscal 2012. We believe this will lead to the addition of several new clients in this fiscal year with at least two of these new clients leading to transactional related assistance. We intend to reach a total of ten ongoing services clients by the end of this fiscal year.
In order to support the growth and diversification of our various businesses we have named Hernan Grant Welch to the position of Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. Mr. Welch has garnered over 30 years of international finance experience in working for both public companies and major auditing firms. His experience will be instrumental in helping us manage the financial aspects of our international expansion. We have also doubled the size of our corporate headquarters to 13,000 square feet. We plan to use the expanded space for additional management and marketing operations for our international commodities distribution business, our consulting services operations, and administration and sales for our magnesium operations.
As we move forward with our expansion plans, we also intend to intensify our own public relations efforts. We will look to take every opportunity and make every effort to raise the profile of our company with the business and investor community as we deliver on our business goals in an effort to increase our corporate visibility value and unlock the true value of what we are building here at our company. We expect the implementation of this growth plan in the coming years to enable us to emerge as a diversified and profitable company that generates sustainable cash flow to fuel our growth for years to come.
In closing, I would like to emphasize that each and every member of our organization is committed to our growth plan and we are excited to enter into this New Year with our experienced management team, streamlined operations and strong business relationships in the U.S., China and South America. We intend to dutifully implement our focused plan for our company as we seek to achieve substantial growth in revenues and earnings while carefully controlling the cost of operations. As always, we thank you for your support and look forward to maximizing the value of our company for you, our shareholders, in the years to come. We look forward to your continuing support as we make this journey together.
Sincerely,
James Wang, Ph.D.
Chairman of the Board

Magnesium Stock Alert for China Direct Industries Inc, (NASDAQ:CDII); How Magnesium Plays a Role in Weight Reduction and Fuel Efficiency for Auto Industry of the Future

2012-01-13T08:16:00.000-08:00

POINT ROBERTS, January 13, 2012 - Magnesium Investor Alert - www.InvestorIdeas.com, a global investor research portal for independent investors, reports on developments in the auto industry showcased at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit and how magnesium will play a key role in future innovation. The advancement of lighter weight automobiles will result in significant fuel efficiency. The Cadillac ATS by General Motors and the Porsche 911 Carrera and Carrera S Coupes were a few of the high profile cars on display utilizing magnesium.

Ford F-150, one of the best selling vehicles in the country, also announced that its next generation of Ford F-Series will employ aluminum and magnesium for weight savings, a necessary step to meet the looming EPA's CAFÉ standards.
According to Alex Markin, Managing Director of International Magnesium Group "IMG", wholly owned subsidiary of China Direct Industries Inc, (NASDAQ:CDII), "We anticipate the demand for magnesium in the automotive industry to escalate worldwide. This will be driven by mandates to lower fuel consumption and by buyers wanting lighter cars as energy costs continue to increase. Our magnesium segment is positioned to capitalize on the potential growth of magnesium in the automotive industry worldwide through our manufacturing competiveness and policy of stabilized pricing. IMG will be able to provide U.S. automakers with competitively priced magnesium If and when the U.S. government lifts its constraints on imported magnesium,"
Magnesium is stronger and lighter than steel and aluminum; 33% lighter than aluminum, 60% lighter than titanium, and 75% lighter than steel.
According to a press release from Porsche, "Development of the new, seventh-generation 911 Carrera and Carrera S Coupes began with a new aluminum-steel body; the Cabriolets continue the evolution with the addition of an all-new, unique top that retains the characteristic 911 coupe roof line. The intelligent lightweight design makes use of magnesium for weight reduction, improved performance and lower fuel consumption. As with the new 911 coupe, Porsche has managed to make the new Cabriolet models up to 132 pounds lighter than their predecessors."
The Cadillac ATS, General Motors weighs about 3,400 pounds, incorporating an aluminum hood instead of steel, lightweight magnesium engine mounts and other technologies to make it lighter.
Energy Secretary Steven Chu toured the North American International Auto Show and gave a speech on the future of energy, automotives, transportation and the environment from Detroit Public Television and the Detroit Economic Club Wednesday January 11th.
Secretary Chu reinforced his opinion that investing in innovation will play a key role in keeping U.S. workers and companies competitive
Mr Chu stated that the Department of Energy is looking at ways to decrease body weight and is looking to advance lightweight materials. He noted, "If you take off 10% off the weight of the car you can improve fuel efficiency by 6-8% "
According to Frank Sherosky in a recent article in Torque News, as the auto industry shifts, it needs to think better design and materials for lighter cars, not smaller. He says consumers just don't want lighter to mean smaller. "So, think smart body design here. Think structural design with lighter materials, even a combination of extruded aluminum welded to aluminum panels for greater structural integrity. Moving to aluminum, magnesium and carbon fiber, however, will require a major shift in manufacturing processes at auto plants. This will be as significant as the change from processing IC engines to electrification with lithium-ion batteries."

Financial Highlights
For the full year of fiscal 2011 total revenues increased to $187.8 million, an increase of 66.6% compared to total revenues of $112.7 million recorded in fiscal 2010. Our gross profit reached $19.5 million, up 171.1% compared to gross profit of $7.2 million recorded in the prior fiscal year. Gross profit margins improved to 10.4% in fiscal 2011, an increase of 63% compared to gross margins of 6.4% in fiscal 2010. For fiscal 2011, our operations resulted in net income attributable to China Direct Industries of $9.3 million compared to a net loss of ($3.2 million) recorded in fiscal 2010. Earnings per basic share reached $0.26 in fiscal 2011 on 36.1 million weighted average shares outstanding. Earnings per diluted share were $0.25 in fiscal 2011 on 36.8 million weighted average shares. This compares to a net loss of ($0.11) per basic and diluted share in fiscal 2010 on 29.6 million weighted average shares outstanding.
We experienced significant growth across all of our business segments reflecting stronger demand in the end markets we service as well as revenue contribution from our Ruiming Magnesium acquisition, our consulting segment and our international commodities business. In our magnesium segment, revenue reached $99.9 million, an increase of 95.3% from fiscal 2010 where revenue was $55.1 million. The increase in revenues is attributable to both an increase in shipment volume as well as an increase in the average sale price of our magnesium products. We shipped 36,637 metric tons during fiscal 2011, up 68.2% from shipments of 21,786 metric tons of magnesium products in fiscal 2010. Average sale price of our magnesium products per ton increased to $2,703 in fiscal 2011, up 15.1% from $2,348 in fiscal 2010 as magnesium prices incrementally improved throughout fiscal 2011. The improvement in average sales price and volumes enabled our magnesium segment to achieve net income attributable to China Direct Industries of approximately $243,000 in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011. For fiscal 2011, gross profit for this segment was $3.2 million, inclusive of $2.5 million in depreciation expenses, an increase of 81.9% compared to gross profit of $1.8 million, inclusive of $1.3 million in depreciation, recorded in fiscal 2010. Our magnesium operations resulted in an operating loss of ($865,000), inclusive of $4.3 million in depreciation related expenses. This compares to fiscal 2010 operating loss of ($897,000), inclusive of $2.6 million in depreciation related expenses. In our basic materials segment overall revenue increased to $68.9 million, a 17.2% improvement from the $58.8 million recorded in fiscal 2010. Gross profit for this segment reached $3.8 million, an increase of 22.5% from fiscal 2010. The increase in revenues and gross profit was largely driven by sales of iron ore from our U.S. based industrial commodities business. Operating income for our basic materials segment in fiscal 2011 was $129,000, compared to $174,000 recorded in the same period of prior year. Total revenues in our consulting segment in fiscal 2011 rose to $19.0 million, up from $2.8 million in fiscal 2010. Gross profit for this segment totaled $12.5 million compared to $2.3 million recorded in the fiscal 2010. The increase in revenues and gross profit for this segment was mostly attributable to fees earned for consulting services provided to two new clients during fiscal 2011. Operating income for our consulting segment improved to $7.3 million from an operating loss of ($3.5 million) recorded in fiscal 2010.
Balance Sheet
At September 30, 2011, total assets were $116.0 million and shareholder equity was $68.0 million with 40.4 million shares outstanding. At September 30, 2010, total assets were $95.9 million and shareholder equity of $50.2 million with 31.7 million shares outstanding. At September 30, 2011 cash and cash equivalents were $12.6 million with prepaid expenses of $14.4 million as compared to cash and cash equivalents of $10.1 million with $8.6 million in prepaid expenses at September 30, 2010. Working capital improved to $44.5 million compared to $30.3 million at September 30, 2010.
The overall environment in our various segments strengthened throughout fiscal 2011 and we now look to build on our momentum in fiscal 2012. While we experienced some cyclical softness in magnesium demand toward the end of calendar 2011, we entered fiscal 2012 with magnesium prices significantly higher than in the early part of fiscal 2011. Management believes that we have positioned our company to take a major step forward in this segment in 2012 through our planned acquisitions as well as through our use of cleaner more efficient waste gas. We anticipate that overall supply in China will be constricted later in fiscal 2012 and into fiscal 2013, as competitors using coal for fuel remain under pressure from environmental regulations and energy costs. We are also confident that our efforts in our industrial commodities business will lead to progressive revenue growth throughout fiscal 2012 as we have cleared regulatory hurdles in Mexico and South America to deliver commodities on a continuous basis into China. Through this business, along with our consulting and magnesium operations, we enter fiscal 2012, poised to build a more global company with revenue streams in China as well as the Americas. We intend to evaluate additional opportunities in the U.S. and abroad to further diversify our revenue base geographically. We anticipate an improvement in our performance in fiscal 2012 as we continue to build our company for the future. We will further discuss our operating results as well as our outlook for fiscal 2012 during the conference call today, December 22, 2011 at 4:30 p.m. EST.
Commenting on our results for fiscal 2011, Dr. James Wang, Chairman and CEO of China Direct Industries, Inc., stated, "Fiscal 2011 marked a return to profitability for China Direct Industries. We achieved significant growth across all of our business segments and moved forward with consolidation plans in our magnesium segment and our international expansion into North and South America through our industrial commodities business. The progressive improvement in our magnesium segment, where shipments and average pricing increased throughout the fiscal year, enabled this segment to return to bottom line profitability in the fourth quarter. We added a new international revenue stream through the commencement of sales of iron ore, sourced from Mexico into China, and are working diligently to build on the relationships we have forged in Chile and Bolivia to rapidly grow our commodities business throughout fiscal 2012. The current environment for Chinese companies publicly trading in the U.S. has created opportunities for our consulting segment and we are currently aggressively marketing our services both in China and the U.S. We believe our efforts will enable this segment to continue to be a strong driver of growth for our company in fiscal 2012. As we move into the future, we continue to strengthen our balance sheet and look to improve performance through internal growth and international business expansion to position China Direct Industries to build on our strong performance in fiscal 2011."

China Direct Industries (NASDAQ:CDII) News: Magnesium Batteries Could Establish US Leadership in EV Battery Market

2011-12-19T08:42:00.000-08:00

POINT ROBERTS, December 19, 2011 - www.InvestorIdeas.com, a leader in cleantech research and news for investors, reports on new developments in high efficient magnesium batteries.

Magnesium production and demand has nearly doubled in the past 10 years, and now a global need for green vehicle solutions may spike the demand even further.
Hoping to be first to market with a magnesium battery for electric cars, Pellion Technologies, Inc (www.pelliontech.com) is developing low-cost rechargeable Magnesium Batteries with high energy density.
Competing with lithium-ion batteries, magnesium batteries will potentially be cheaper, more efficient and also address a new issue that has come to surface – safety.
According to the Advanced Research Projects Agency at the US Department of Energy site, "Pellion Technologies, an MIT spin-out company, will develop inexpensive high-energy-density rechargeable magnesium-ion batteries with the potential to disrupt current energy storage technologies for electric and hybrid-electric vehicles. To develop a game-changing 33 magnesium-ion battery, Pellion will leverage high throughput computational materials design, coupled with accelerated materials synthesis and electrolyte optimization, to identify new high-energy density magnesium cathode materials and compatible electrolyte chemistries. If successful, this project will develop the first commercial magnesium-ion battery and will establish U.S. technological leadership in this exciting new high energy battery chemistry for electrified vehicle applications."
With US auto sales improving and global demand and pressure to address climate change with green automotive solutions, magnesium producer China Direct Industries, Inc. (NASDAQ:CDII) , is positioned with a substantial lead in market share of supplying pure magnesium and will be a key player in the green roads of the future.

China Stock News; A Potential Ground Floor Opportunity with China America Holdings, Inc. (OTC.BB: CAAH)

2011-12-19T07:49:00.000-08:00

POINT ROBERTS, December 19, 2011 - www.InvestorIdeas.com, a global investor research portal for independent investors, publishes an industry overview and growth opportunities for China America Holdings (OTC.BB: CAAH), a company positioned in the interior tile industry in China for both residential and commercial markets.
A Potential Ground Floor Opportunity with China America Holdings, Inc
By: Patrick J. Murphy, Murphy Analytics LLC, a provider of sponsored research coverage on small cap stocks.

China America Holdings, Inc. (OTC.BB: CAAH). is a holding company which owns a 100% stake in Ziyang Ceramics Co., Ltd. based in Zhucheng city of Shandong Province in China. Ziyang Ceramics Co., Ltd. manufactures porcelain tiles used for interior residential and commercial flooring and sells through a distribution network of more than 150 distributors across 10 provinces concentrating on major second and third tier cities located primarily in Eastern and Central China.
As an indication of the CAAH growth opportunity, following are comments and forecasts on the key markets and trends for Chinese real estate in general and for ceramic tiles in particular.
Cushman & Wakefield estimates 35% Commercial Real Estate Development Growth for Q1 2011: “Chinese real estate market has gone through a year of stringent controls in 2010. In the first quarter of 2011, the commercial property market in China witnessed new highs in the office, retail, industrial and investment markets. In the first two months of 2011, total volume of investment in real estate development grew by 35% year-on-year. Despite the government's tightening control of the property market, the pace of the real estate development in China is still accelerating.”
SouFun Holdings Limited America (NYSE: SFUN) reports record revenue for Q3 2011: As another indicator of the growth of the Chinese real estate market, SouFun, which operates the leading real estate internet portal and home furnishing and improvement website in China, continues to report substantial growth. For Q3 11, SFUN reported that quarterly revenue of $109 million nearly doubled over Q3 10. The Company also reported that revenue grew 116% from 2008 - 2010. Marketing generated 75% of SFUN 2010 revenue, and includes traditional Internet advertisements such as banners, links, logos and floating signs, as well as featured promotions. As an illustration of the types of operators that are active in the real estate sector, SFUN reports that its customers consist of the types of customers also likely to be tile purchasers, including:

real estate developers
real estate professionals, such as agents and brokers
retailers and other suppliers of home furnishing and improvement products and services
home design, decoration and re-modeling companies
banks offering residential mortgage loan products

Growth in China's Tile Market: Mohawk Industries (NYSE: MHK), a leading U.S. flooring company, estimates that China's tile market grew 15.6% annually from 2005 to 2009, when annual sales reached 59,200 sq. ft. in sales in China.
China Ceramics Co. Ltd. (NASDAQ: CCCL) Forecasts Net Increase in Urban Residential Building Stock in 10 Chinese Cities as Equal to or Greater than the Existing Residential Building Stock of Some European Countries: While the degree of growth cited by Cushman & Wakefield leads some to believe that the Chinese real market is strong and growing, this rapid growth has caused others to ask whether the Chinese real estate market is a bubble. This question was the subject a recent Time magazine article in which the possibility of a Chinese real estate bubble was argued to be as important an economic question as the future of the Euro and whether the U.S. re-enters a recession.
While the growth of the Chinese real estate market may be unprecedented, the massive rural to urban migration continues as some estimates forecast that 400 million more Chinese citizens will urbanize over the coming decades. While the market's ability to address this massive historical and current growth may be uncertain in the near term, and the impact of PRC monetary and fiscal policy on the market also is uncertain, the longer term trend towards a massive continuing wave of urbanization seems clear.
As one example of the potential for companies whose products supply this urbanization, the following data from China Ceramics Co. Ltd. illustrates the magnitude of the opportunity. Citing sources including the Economist Intelligence Unit, National Bureau of Statistics (China), and UNECE, CCCL's September 2011 Investor Presentation provides the following comparison for growth in Chinese cities relative to ten European nations:

Forecast of Net Increase 2011 - 2020		Existing Residential Building Stock
Chongqing	1,109	Poland	807
Chengdu	447	Greece	494
Zhengzhou	396	Portugal	424
Tianjin	389	Sweden	411
Beijing	350	Czech Rep.	369
Xi'an	279	Romania	366
Changsha	272	Switzerland	352
Shanghai	271	Hungary	319
Shenzhen	265	Austria	318
Dongguan	234	Denmark	282
a. all data in mm sq. meters
b. Figures are for urban areas within referenced prefecture/municipality.
c . Chongqing municipality's unusually large increase partly reflects its large size compared with other prefectures.

Although it may or may not be the case that China's real estate market has grown too much too fast, a longer term view seems to support the argument that a massive wave of urbanization is likely to continue, and this creates a broad range of commercial opportunity. With a reported $12 million in revenue for Q3 11 representing a 39% year over year increase, and a network of 150 distributors in 10 Chinese provinces, China America seems to be in position to take advantage of the long-term Chinese real estate and tile market trends.

China Stocks Snapshot; (OTC.BB: CAAH) and (NASDAQ: CCCL) Report Strong Third Quarter Revenue Growth in Interior Tile Industry

2011-12-12T12:10:00.001-08:00

News about China America Holdings (OTC.BB: CAAH)

POINT ROBERTS, December 12, 2011 - China/Asia stock alert - www.InvestorIdeas.com, a global investor research portal for independent investors, reports on companies in the interior tile industry in China, featuring microcap company, China America Holdings (OTC.BB: CAAH).

Both China America Holdings (OTC.BB: CAAH) and its larger competitor, Ceramics Co., Ltd. (NASDAQ: CCCL) reported strong revenue growth in the third quarter, up 38.7% and 38.4% respectively from third quarter 2010.
If you speak to anyone who has been in China recently, there is no feedback of slowdown as they report rapid growth and consumer spending in some of the growing cities across China.
According to a report from McKinsey research, "The Chinese have taken to consumerism with ease, embracing thousands of new products, services, and brands -- including a decided taste for luxury. By 2020 and within the course of one decade, real consumption will have doubled to $4.8 trillion and China will then be the world's second-biggest consumer market after the United States. "
With headlines of China's inflation concerns, the report also notes, it "finds Chinese consumers to be resilient in the face of inflation."
China America Holdings (OTC.BB: CAAH) reported "The increase in revenue was driven by a shift in sales mix toward our higher priced premium polycrystalline porcelain floor tiles in 2011 as compared greater unit volume of our lower priced porcelain floor tiles in 2010. The premium polycrystalline floor tile series, launched in the fourth quarter of 2010, is priced approximately 50% higher than our patterned polished porcelain floor tiles. Revenue in the third quarter of 2011 was also boosted by sales of our newest product series, interior porcelain wall tiles, which we launched in August of 2011. Gross profit in the third quarter of 2011 reached $4.4 million, up 39.8% from gross profit of $3.2 million in the third quarter of 2010. For the first nine months of 2011, gross profit climbed to $10.6 million, up 25.7% from $8.4 million recorded in the same period in 2010. Gross profit margins for the third quarter were 37% and 36% for the first nine months of 2011, and were consistent with the comparable 2010 periods. Our gross profit margins thus far in 2011 remained flat due to higher margins from sales of our polycrystalline floor tile series being offset by increases in cost of sales due primarily to increases in costs for raw materials, wages and benefits for manufacturing employees, and fuel."
Third quarter and first nine months of 2011:

Revenue Reaches $12 Million in 3rd Quarter of 2011, Up 38.7% from the $8.7 Million Recorded in the 3rd Quarter of 2010
Operating Income Climbs to $3.7 Million, Up 36.5% from the $2.7 Million Recorded in the 3rd Quarter of 2010
Net Income for the 3rd Quarter of 2011 reaches $3.1 Million, Up 42.3% from Net Income of $2.2 Million in the 3rd Quarter of 2010

Revenue was RMB 406.9 million (US$ 63.4 million), up 38.4% from the third quarter of 2010;
Gross profit was RMB 119.1 million (US$ 18.6 million), up 27.5% from the third quarter of 2010;
Gross profit margin was 29.3%, down 2.5% from the third quarter of 2010;
Net profit was RMB 75.8 million (US$ 11.8 million), up 19.9% from the third quarter of 2010;
On a quarter-to-quarter sequential basis, revenue was up 9.3%, gross profit was up 5.0% and net profit was up 4.7%;

Magnesium Stock Alert: China Direct (NASDAQ: CDII) - Magnesium Demand Outlook highly Positive Long Term

2011-12-12T06:59:00.001-08:00

POINT ROBERTS, December 12, 2011 - www.InvestorIdeas.com, a global investor research portal for independent investors, distributes the following CFA commentary on China magnesium producer China Direct Industries Inc, (NASDAQ:CDII) and the key markets that drive the demand for magnesium. The report, Magnesium Demand- Indicators and Outlook, was issued by Patrick J. Murphy, Murphy Analytics LLC, a provider of sponsored research coverage on small cap stocks.

Magnesium Demand - Indicators and Outlook
Headquartered in Deerfield Beach, Florida, China Direct Industries, Inc. ( NASDAQ:CDII), sources, produces and distributes industrial products in China as well as the Americas. The Company operates in two business segments - the magnesium / basic materials segment and a consulting segment that provides a suite of services to companies operating primarily in China. These services include financing structures and arrangements, mergers, acquisitions and other business transactions, identifying potential areas of growth, translation services, managing and coordinating all necessary government approvals and licenses in the PRC, as well as marketing services, investor relations services, and coordination of the preparation of required SEC filings.
CDII's magnesium / basic materials segment, with annual production capacity of 50,000 metric tons of pure magnesium ingots and 10,000 metric tons of magnesium powder, makes China Direct Industries Inc. one of the largest magnesium producers in the world. At nearly 80% of Q3 2011 revenue, the magnesium / basic materials segment is a critical driver of CDII's success, with magnesium representing approximately 44% of total revenue and basic materials representing approximately 35% of total Q3 11 revenue.
While market fluctuations and global economic and fiscal challenges will always result in some degree of uncertainty in the short term, the outlook for the magnesium demand seems to be highly positive in the longer term as a result of growth that appears likely across the industries that utilize magnesium as a basic input. With a commanding share of market production, China Direct Industries ( NASDAQ:CDII) may be of interest to those interested in investing in the long term prospects for magnesium.
Background - Magnesium Properties, Uses, Market

Physical Properties[i]: Magnesium is the lightest and strongest of the structural metals - it is 33% lighter than aluminum, 60% lighter than titanium, 75% lighter than steel.
Uses [ii]: Most pure metals, including magnesium, are too soft for structural use. However strength properties comparable to those of many aluminum alloys are obtained by alloying magnesium with other metals, and, in some cases, by heat treating or working. Magnesium is also used in desulfurization with other metals, specifically steel. According to estimates from the International Magnesium Association, the primary uses are:

o Alloying with aluminum - 40 - 45 percent
o As a structural metal - magnesium alloys - 33 - 35 percent
o Iron and steel processing - desulfurization - 13 percent
o Electrochemical and other

The Market: China produces approximately 80% of the global magnesium market, which grew over 24% to 809,000 tons in 2010[iii].

China Stock News Alert: China Direct Industries (NASDAQ:CDII); Magnesium Demand- Indicators and Outlook

2011-12-08T07:12:00.001-08:00

Following is a brief introduction to magnesium properties and uses, as well as a discussion of expected demand in the key markets that drive the demand for magnesium specifically and also have relevance for considering the potential future growth for basic materials in general.
Background - Magnesium Properties, Uses, Market

Physical Properties[i]: Magnesium is the lightest and strongest of the structural metals - it is 33% lighter than aluminum, 60% lighter than titanium, 75% lighter than steel.

The Market: China produces approximately 80% of the global magnesium market, which grew over 24% to 809,000 tons in 2010[iii].
PRC Mandates Strict New Conditions for Existing and New Refineries: China Magnesium Corporation, which has all approvals and permits in place to expand annual production to 105,000 tons, making the Company one of the largest producers of magnesium in the world, expects[iv] that the government's setting of minimum production thresholds will result in a reduced supply of magnesium and provide an advantage to those producers with production capacity and regulator approvals already in place.

Following is a discussion of some of the recent data, reports, and analysis highlighting the trends and outlook for the markets that have the most influence on the demand for magnesium.
U.S. Light Vehicle Sales: Reported 12/2/11 by WardsAuto.com[v], sales of U.S. light-vehicles in November improved month over month for the 3rd time in 2011, and the 11.3 units sold year to date through November 2011 represents an increase of 10.1% over 2010.
Global Vehicle Sales: Autofacts[vi], which is PwC's automotive forecasting service, published a report in August of 2011 estimating that global auto sales for 2011 would grow 6% over 2010 to 75.9 million units and then increase 10% to 83.5 million units in 2012. Not surprisingly, the report observes that China and India are significant drivers of the anticipated growth.
Aluminum and Magnesium Alloy Market Outlook: In the Company's November 2011 Investor Day presentation[vii], Alcoa (NYSE: AA) forecast an 8.7% compound annual growth rate in aluminum demand in China for 2010 to 2020, with 4.5% expected for the rest of the world and an overall growth rate of 6.5% annually through 2020. Alcoa also forecast that China is likely to become a net importer of aluminum and that demand may outpace production needs in the emerging markets. As an indication of the magnitude of the consumption gap that still remains between the two countries as well as one indicator the magnesium alloy market, Alcoa estimates[viii] that aluminum can consumption is 12 per capita in China vs. 313 in the U.S.
Magnesium in Electronics: As noted in the Company's 2011 Investor Day presentation[ix], Alcoa expects 166% growth by 2014 in revenue from aluminum used in consumer electronics as the market grows 46% from 245 kilometric tons (kMT) in 2011 to 358 kMT on 2014.
Iron and Steel Markets: At the Company's September 2011 Investor Day[x] conference, Arcelor Mittal (NYSE: MT) forecast that the company would increase iron ore production over 70% by 2015 as global iron ore demand grows over 50% from 1,800 million tons in 2010 to 2,800 mn tons in 2016. Although growth is expected to be driven by the developing world, the Company notes that it does expect growth in steel consumption to continue in the developed world as well.

China Stock Investor News; How China Direct Industries (NASDAQ:CDII) Plays Key Role in Green Metal of the 21st Century

2011-12-01T08:02:00.000-08:00

POINT ROBERTS - December 1, 2011 - www.InvestorIdeas.com, a global investor research portal for independent investors, reports on the future demands for magnesium with the green auto sector and how magnesium producer China Direct Industries Inc, (NASDAQ:CDII) plays a key role with the "green metal of the 21 st Century".
China currently controls 80- 85 percent of the global magnesium market and China Direct Industries Inc, (NASDAQ:CDII) is one of the largest suppliers of pure magnesium in the world.
Recent short term global demand is down due to concerns over the debt crisis in the eurozone but domestic demand in China remains strong. Global demand can turn again as economies stabilize and new uses and applications also drive the overall market for magnesium.
According to a recent Forbes article "Fuel economy mandates will spur the development of lighter cars with materials like aluminum, magnesium and composites. EVs and hybrid vehicles will use materials such as lithium and rare earth metals like neodymium and lanthanum."
But that may be changing as well and magnesium may be added to the mix in the battery market.
Pellion Technologies, funded by Khosla Ventures, is launching the world's first commercial magnesium battery. Pellion is developing a rechargeable magnesium-ion battery for electric and hybrid-electric vehicle applications
China Direct Industries Inc, (NASDAQ:CDII) is currently expanding the magnesium segment of it business, focusing operations on the management of facilities previously owned or controlled by Yulee Huang, a member of China Direct Industries' board of directors and its executive vice president - magnesium.
"We currently operate four magnesium facilities in China within our Magnesium segment that produce and/or distribute magnesium products such as pure magnesium ingots, magnesium powders, granules and alloys. The current annual production capacity within our Magnesium segment is approximately 50,000 metric tons of pure magnesium ingots and 10,000 metric tons of magnesium powder. Our goal is to consolidate the fragmented industry and emerge as a global leader in the production and distribution of pure magnesium and magnesium related products."
Benefits of Magnesium;
Stronger and lighter than steel and aluminum
33% lighter than aluminum, 60% lighter than titanium, and 75% lighter than steel
*Magnesium is known as the green metal of the 21st century
Auto Industry and Magnesium;

US Energy Law requires average fleet to increase MPG to 35 by 2020
EU Emissions Law requires automakers to cut CO2 emissions to 130 g/km by 2012 and 95 g/km by 2020
Automakers are looking to magnesium to reduce the weight of the vehicle, increase MPG and reduce CO2; a 10% reduction in vehicle weight leads to an estimated 6-8% savings in fuel consumption
Worldwide motor vehicle production at a rate of 77.6 million vehicles in 2010 represents substantial potential market for magnesium and its alloys
