China Shuangji Cement Ltd. (OTCBB: CNSj) (February 5, 2008) announced a corporate update and an action plan for this quarter.

"The change to our corporate name and ticker symbol on November 9, 2007 marks a new direction for the Company," said China Shuangji Chairman and President Wenji Song.

China Shuangji expects to receive the audited financial statements of Shandong Zhaoyuan Shuangji Group Co., Ltd. ("SZSG") and contemplates filing the necessary Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission on a series of contractual agreements with SZSG, a domestic company registered in the People's Republic of China which is engaged in the business of manufacturing of cement products.

Mr. Song further stated, "I believe that each company has undeveloped endless potential. Looking ahead, our Company faces valuable developmental opportunities, along with many difficulties and challenges. We will execute the development strategies already approved, on the basis of the strengthening cement industry, to implement brand name effectiveness, and to expand in both the domestic and international markets. Our focus will be on leveraging the Company's strengths and stepping up business development, in order to provide the best products to our customers and as well to make Shuangji a large-scale international corporation. The Company is in the new historic development stage.

We will continue to do what is necessary to establish strong corporate governance, in order to protect the interests of the Company and all shareholders. With the support of all our shareholders, and the combined efforts of the Board of Directors, management and staff, I firmly believe that Shuangji is blessed with a very promising future."

Royal Acquisitions and Development, Inc. (Pink Sheets: RQST) (February 7, 2008) has consulted numerous top senior geologists in an effort to better evaluate their concession. The search has been exhausting, and has been narrowed down to three leading firms. As per company policy, Royal Acquisitions and Development, Inc. will commence the final tendering process for said contract.

The sampling methods, sample shipment, preparation, and data entry will follow the established, stringent guidelines of international exploration under the supervision of a Qualified Person / Senior Geologist, and meet the guidelines for 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects report requirements

Royal Acquisitions and Development, Inc. C.E.O., Richard Cartagena stated the following, "We are aggressively moving forward on our business plan, and the hiring of a top senior geologist lends further credibility to our concession plus allows us to proceed on the development of our concession. We feel 2008 has been a good year to start but there is tireless work ahead, our team is committed."

Our Concession

The RQST land claim lies wholly in Sahuaripa County, Sonora, Mexico. According to el Imparcial (the predominate regional newspaper of Sonora), the gold production in Sahuaripa County alone will be roughly 4.65 tons of gold this year. As an example, the Mulatos mine provided in the first quarter of 2006 22,680 ounces of gold, the Dolores mine reported in the first quarter of 2006 3,000,000 ounces of gold and 149,000,000 ounces of silver, and the El Sauzal mine has recorded gold reserves of nearly 2,000,000 ounces.

Further, the upward trend in neighboring mining reporting data, lends sufficiency to the preliminary RQST assays. The RQST property neighbors such rich mining sites as Mulatos of Alamos Gold (TSX.AGI) to the North, Dolores of Minefinders (TSX.MFL) to the East, and El Sauzal of Glamis Gold/Goldcorp (TSX.G) to the South and lends credence and raises expectations that the RQST property has enormous potential that at least meets the proven reserves of these well documented neighboring gold mines.

Valence Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ: VLNC) (February 7, 2008) announced it has entered into a contract with The Tanfield Group Plc (LSE: TAN) to manufacture and supply safe, Lithium Phosphate energy storage systems to power zero emission, all-electric commercial delivery vehicles. The Valence battery systems will be installed in leading-edge vans and trucks produced by Tanfield's UK-based trading division, Smith Electric Vehicles, the world's largest manufacturer of electric vans and trucks.

Under the agreement, Tanfield will purchase up to $70 million of Valence products in the contract's first phase and Valence has already received a firm purchase order for the first calendar quarter.

The agreement will also result in Tanfield becoming the first volume customer for Valence's third generation Lithium Phosphate Epoch technology, a battery system equipped with an advanced management system that monitors and automatically adjusts cell performance so battery packs operate at their optimum performance capacity. Epoch benefits include a fail-soft capability that is designed to eliminate system failure caused by a single cell and to have a life cycle comprised of more than 2000 charge cycles when deep discharged in demanding electric vehicle applications.

"The Valence Epoch System which we introduced at the December 2007 EVS-23 show has the potential to move the industry closer to the tipping point when EVs and plug-in HEVs will be broadly adopted and deployed," said Robert L. Kanode, president and CEO of Valence. "We believe that Valence is the first Lithium Phosphate battery producer to have the sourcing and manufacturing capability and start-to-finish infrastructure to immediately ship safe, reliable, Lithium Phosphate energy storage systems in the quantities demanded by the electric vehicle market. For the past six months we have been working to scale up our proven operational capabilities to meet anticipated demand."

Darren Kell, Chief Executive of The Tanfield Group Plc, said "We are constantly looking for new, cost-effective technologies that can improve our zero emission commercial electric vehicles and broaden our customer base. The Valence battery pack is an efficient, inherently robust and reliable system that gives us greatly increased flexibility in vehicle design."

Tanfield launched the first of its new generation of Smith zero-emission commercial vehicles in December 2006 and has quickly developed a wide customer portfolio across the UK and mainland Europe, including Sainsbury's Online, the Royal Mail, TNT Express, Carlsberg, Balfour Beatty, Amey Construction and DHL Exel Supply Chain.

Smith launched its first United States-specific vehicle at EVS-23 in California in December 2007.
