Change in Registrant’s Certifying Accountants
China Natural Resources, Inc. (the “Company”) announced the appointment of HYYH CPA LLC (“HYYH”) as its independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, effective January 29, 2026. The appointment was made after a careful and thorough evaluation process and has been approved by the audit committee of the Company’s Board of Directors. HYYH is a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board of the United States (“PCAOB”). HYYH is subject to the PCAOB’s oversight and will conduct its audit of the Company in accordance with the standards established by the PCAOB.
HYYH succeeds ARK Pro CPA & Co (“ARK”), the Company’s previous independent registered public accounting firm. ARK was dismissed by the Company on January 29, 2026 and is committed to working with the Company and HYYH to ensure a seamless transition. The audit report of ARK on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, nor was it qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.
During the audit for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 and the subsequent period through the dismissal date of January 29, 2026, there have been (i) no disagreements (as defined in Item 16F(a)(1)(iv) of Form 20-F and the related instructions thereto) between the Company and ARK on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of ARK, would have caused ARK to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its report on the consolidated financial statements for such year, and (ii) no “reportable events” (as defined in Item 16F(a)(1)(v) of Form 20-F). At the time of ARK’s dismissal, ARK has not completed their audit and therefore has no rendered their audit report on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025.
For the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and 2024 and the subsequent interim period through January 29, 2026, neither the Company nor anyone acting on its behalf consulted with HYYH on either (a) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements, and neither a written report nor oral advice was provided to the Company by HYYH that HYYH concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue, or (b) any matter that was the subject of a disagreement (as defined in Item 16F(a)(1)(iv) of Form 20-F and the related instructions thereto) or a reportable event (as defined in Item 16F(a)(1)(v) of Form 20-F).
The Company has provided ARK with a copy of the disclosure it is making in this Current Report on Form 6-K and requested from ARK a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission indicating whether it agrees with such disclosure. A copy of ARK’s letter dated January 29, 2026 is attached hereto as Exhibit 16.1.
