At a recent mining expert seminar held by Yingting Law Firm, the professional views of the Yingting Mining Lawyer Team on "There is an essential difference between the transfer of company equity and the transfer of exploration rights" were highly recognized by many authoritative experts present at the meeting. A number of experts from top universities such as China University of Political Science and Law, National School of Administration, and Inner Mongolia University fully affirmed the views of Yingting's legal team and further emphasized that: equity transfer is regulated by the "Company Law" and is a transfer of shareholders' rights; and the transfer of exploration rights, as a change in usufructuary rights subject to administrative permission, must strictly follow the approval procedures stipulated in the "Mineral Resources Law".

During the discussion, participating experts and the Yingting legal team further clarified the core differences between the two: the subject of equity transfer is the shareholder, and the subject is the equity, which usually does not require approval from the natural resources department; while the subject of the transfer of exploration rights is the mining rights holder, and the subject is the exploration right itself, which must undergo strict administrative licensing and change registration before it can take effect. It further clarified the legal boundary of "equity changes are not equivalent to the transfer of mining rights", effectively correcting misunderstandings in practice.
