Exhibit 10.2


LONING AGREEMENT

THIS AGREEMENT MADE EFFECTIVE AS OF THE 12th DAY OF December, 2007 (the "Effective Date") in replacement of a Mineral Rights Acquisition Agreement (the “Preceding Agreement”) dated the 29th day of August, 2007. The purpose of this Agreement is to clarify terminology used in the Preceding Contract and remove ambiguities in Schedule A which were created when Schedule A of the Preceding Contract, which was written and signed in Chinese, had been translated to English.

BETWEEN:

WORLD FORTUNE ENTERPRISE INC., a British Columbia private
corporation with offices at  870 East 54th Ave, Vancouver, British
Columbia, V5X 1L7, Canada;
(“World Fortune”)

AND:

ASIAN DRAGON GROUP INC., a Nevada publicly traded corporation
with offices at suite 1100 – 475 Howe Street, Vancouver, British
Columbia, V6C 2B3;
(“Asian Dragon”)

PREAMBLE:

The Loning Property consists of a 9.1 sq km Exploration License (the “Loning Exploration License”) which is located in the northwest part of Luoning County, Henan Province, People’s Republic of China (the “Loning Property”).

Under Chinese law foreigners may not be directly granted exploration licenses. Instead a foreign corporation must join with a Chinese partner and form a Sino-Foreign Joint Venture Company (“JV”) which must be licensed as a business prior to any applications for an exploration license.

No Mining License is currently issued to any of the parties in this Agreement (the “Loning Agreement”) regarding the Loning Property.

The Loning Property has no probable or proven reserves.

The arrangements which form the structure of this contract are as follows:

           1)        To create opportunities to explore properties in China, World Fortune partnered with a private Chinese company (the “Chinese Partner”) to form a JV named Henan Yunfeng Resource of Mining Development Co. Ltd. (“Yunfeng”). World Fortune holds a 70% interest of Yunfeng and the Chinese Partner holds a 30% interest. This JV applied for and received a Joint Venture Business License from the People’s Republic of China (the “Chinese Government).
  
2) Under their JV Agreement, World Fortune committed to contribute funding to the JV and the Chinese Partner committed to contribute the Exploration License for the Loning Property, which had already been issued to the Chinese Partner (the “Loning Exploration License”), once World Fortune had fulfilled all its funding commitments.

           3)        Asian Dragon engaged World Fortune under an Agency and Cooperative Agreement to act as Asian Dragon’s agent and source opportunities for Asian Dragon in China.
  
4) World Fortune proposed to Yunfeng and Yunfeng accepted an offer for World Fortune to purchase 70% of a 100% interest in the Loning Exploration License upon full payment for the Loning Exploration License per the payment schedule included in a China Mineral Properties Rights Purchase Agreement (the “Loning China Rights Agreement”) signed by World Fortune and Yunfeng on August 8, 2007. The intent of this Loning China Rights Agreement was to provide WFEI with a method to effect the legal logistics to pass title of its 70% interest in the Loning Exploration License into a separate Agreement which it could then sell or assign to a third party.
  
5) World Fortune proposed to Asian Dragon and Asian Dragon accepted an offer for Asian Dragon to purchase the Loning Exploration License upon assumption of World Fortune’s obligations under the Loning China Rights Agreement and payment of share grants to World Fortune and World Fortune or its nominees. To acquire the Loning Exploration License Asian Dragon must fulfill all payments referenced in the Loning China Rights Agreement. The governing agreement which executes this contract is this Loning Agreement.
  
6) Asian Dragon will not have ownership of the Loning Exploration License until it has fully completed the payment terms included in this Loning Agreement and because the incorporated Loning China Rights Agreement includes a damages clause which would come into force if Asian Dragon were to abandon its obligations under this Loning Agreement, Asian Dragon has determined that this Loning Agreement does not meet the characteristics required to record it as an option and therefore a liability has been recorded in Asian Dragon’s financial statements pertaining to this Loning Agreement.
  
7) Once Asian Dragon has completed all payments required by this Loning Agreement, it will be deemed to have title to and will own 70% of a 100% interest in the Loning Exploration License. Yunfeng will own the remaining 30% of the Loning Exploration License, but this position may be reduced if Asian Dragon makes additional payments under this Loning Agreement.

CLARIFICATION OF TRANSLATION MATTERS IN SCHEDULE A - China Mineral Properties Rights Purchase Agreement:
           1)        Irrespective of any titles in the attached Loning China Rights Agreement (hereinafter referred to as “Schedule A”) describing Schedule A as pertaining to “Mineral Properties Rights”, no Mineral Properties Rights as the term is commonly used in North American currently exist regarding the Loning Property. This clarification is based on the fact that the North American commonly used definition of “Mineral Properties Rights” generally describes title to probable or proven mining reserves.
  
2) Irrespective of any language in Schedule A describing the Loning Property as a “mine”, no mine as the term is commonly used in North American exists on the 9.1 sq km area which comprises the Loning Property as defined in this Loning Agreement.
  
3) The terms: “mine”; “Exploration Permitted Area”; “mineral property rights”; “mineral properties”; “Mineral Property”; “License”; “mining and exploration license areas”; and “Permit” all refer to the Loning Exploration License which is an exploration license.




2





           4)        The use of the terms: “mining operations” and “ore production” does not mean that the Loning Property is a producing mine or that it has probable or proven reserves. These terms were generically used and refer to previous exploration activities on the property.
  
5) Paragraph 11 of Schedule A which states: “This Agreement is binding immediately upon signing and the non performance Party of this Agreement which can result in harm to the other party shall be responsible for all the economic losses”, should have read: “This Agreement is binding immediately upon signing and if either Party is responsible for non performance under the terms of this Agreement which results in harm to the other Party, the non-performing Party shall be responsible for all economic losses”.

TERMS:

WHEREAS World Fortune is a private British Columbia corporation established to source and assess opportunities in the precious and base metals industries in China;

AND WHEREAS Asian Dragon is a Nevada corporation whose securities trade on the NASDAQ OTCBB as well as on the Frankfurt Exchange, and whose business is the acquisition and exploitation of  precious and base metals projects and properties of merit;

AND WHEREAS  World Fortune and Asian Dragon entered into a Mineral Rights Acquisition Agreement dated August 29, 2007 relating to and exploration permit for the Loning Property in China, such agreement which is being expressly amended and replaced by this Loning Agreement;

AND WHEREAS World Fortune has entered into a China Mineral Properties Rights Purchase Agreement (the “Loning China Rights Agreement”) attached and incorporated into this Loning Agreement as “Schedule A” for the purchase of a 70% interest of the 100% interest in the Loning Exploration License from Yunfeng;

AND WHEREAS Asian Dragon has agreed to purchase rights to the Loning Exploration License from World Fortune in exchange for Asian Dragon assuming World Fortune’s responsibility for the total investment owed by World Fortune and detailed in the Loning China Rights Agreement and a grant of Asian Dragon common shares to World Fortune as consideration for World Fortune’s provision of this option to Asian Dragon;
