It draws upon chemistry, biology, physics, astronomy, and mathematics (notably statistics) for support of its formulations. and Mineral Development Bureau, China (the "Mineral Development Bureau"), for the purpose of exploring and developing the mineral resource base in Heilonjiang Province. The First Institute is responsible for mineral resource discoveries, licenses and concessions in Heilongjiang Province, the largest province in northeast China Northeast China (Simplified Chinese: 中国东北; Traditional Chinese: 中國東北; Pinyin: , which covers an area of approximately 469,000 sq. km. The First Institute is a modern, highly skilled, senior government-owned geological institute. Together with its administrative organization, the Mineral Development Bureau, it employs over 13,000 staff. To the Company's knowledge, Savoy Resources is the first foreign exploration company to sign a comprehensive joint venture agreement in Heilongjiang Province. Pursuant to the JVA a joint venture (the "Joint Venture") will be formed pursuant to which the interests of Savoy and the First Institute will be 70% and 30%, respectively. Through the JVA the Joint Venture will hold both the exploration licenses and the exploration rights to all the properties held by the First Institute in northeast China. The JVA also provides the Joint Venture with the right of first refusal Right of First Refusal In general, the right of a person or company to purchase something before the offering is made available to others.
