Item 1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Effective on August 8, 2011, China Direct Industries, Inc.’s ("we”, "us” or “our”) wholly owned subsidiary, CDI China, Inc., (“CDI China”), entered into a Stock Transfer Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Bloomgain Investment Limited, a British Virgin Islands company (“Bloomgain”), an unrelated party. Under the terms of the Agreement, CDI China agreed to sell its 51% ownership interest in Shanxi Pan Asia Magnesium Co., Ltd. (“Pan Asia Magnesium”) to Bloomgain for approximately $3,047,582.35 (RMB 20,000,000) payable in cash at closing. Bloomgain has deposited the purchase price of $3,047,582.35 with Citibank Hong Kong Branch as the escrow agent under the terms of the Agreement pending disbursement upon closing of the transaction. The Agreement was amended pursuant to Addendums I and II dated March 7, 2011, Addendum III dated June 23, 2011 and Addendum IV dated August 8, 2011. Closing of the transaction is subject to various conditions as provided for in Section 4 of the Agreement, as amended, and includes completion of due diligence by Bloomgain, governmental approval of the transfer of the 51% ownership interest in Pan Asia Magnesium, issuance of a new business license and completion of various conditions set forth in Section III of Addendum I. If the conditions set forth in Section 4.1 of the Agreement are not satisfied or waived by Bloomgain prior to September 15, 2011, Bloomgain may terminate the Agreement.
In conjunction with the Agreement, we have agreed that we will not pursue any legal actions regarding Pan Asia Magnesium and will release Mr. Zhao Haixin, Shanxi Jinyang Coal and Coke Group Co. Ltd. and Mrs. Runlian Tian from any future claims that may have resulted from our dispute with them regarding Pan Asia Magnesium.
The description of the terms and conditions of the Agreement and its Addendums does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such Agreement and its Addendums, English translations of which are attached hereto as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2, 10.3, 10.4 and 10.5 and incorporated herein by this reference.
