PROXY STATEMENT
2016 ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS
TO BE HELD ON FEBRUARY 18, 2016

The Board of Directors of Silver Dragon Resources Inc. is soliciting proxies for use at the annual meeting of shareholders to be held on February 18, 2016, and at any adjournment of the meeting. This proxy statement and the enclosed proxy card are first being mailed or given to shareholders on or about January 21, 2016.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE ANNUAL MEETING AND VOTING

What is the purpose of the meeting?

At our annual meeting, shareholders will act upon the matters outlined in the Notice of Annual Meeting of Shareholders. These matters include the election of directors, ratification of the selection of our independent auditor, and consideration of additional Board proposal. Also, management will, once the business of the annual meeting is concluded, respond to questions from shareholders.

Who is entitled to vote at the meeting?

The Board has set January 8, 2016, as the record date for the annual meeting. If you were a shareholder of record at the close of business on January 8, 2016, you are entitled to vote at the meeting.

As of the record date, 299,802,647 shares of our common stock were issued and outstanding and, therefore, eligible to vote at the meeting.

What are my voting rights?

Holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote per share. Therefore, a total of 299,802,647 votes are entitled to be cast at the meeting. There is no cumulative voting.

How many shares must be present to hold the meeting?

In accordance with our bylaws, shares equal to a majority of the voting power of our outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock as of the record date must be present at the meeting in order to hold the meeting and conduct business. This is called a quorum. Your shares are counted as present at the meeting if:

  you are present and vote in person at the meeting; or
     
  you have properly submitted a proxy by mail, telephone or internet.

How do I vote my shares?

If you are a shareholder of record as of the record date, you can give a proxy to be voted at the meeting in any of the following ways:

  over the telephone by calling a toll-free number;
     
  electronically, using the internet; or
     
  by completing, signing and mailing the enclosed proxy card.

The telephone and internet voting procedures have been set up for your convenience. We encourage you to save corporate expense by submitting your vote by telephone or internet. The procedures have been designed to authenticate your identity, to allow you to give voting instructions, and to confirm that those instructions have been recorded properly. If you are a shareholder of record and you would like to submit your proxy by telephone or internet, please refer to the specific instructions provided on the enclosed proxy card. If you wish to submit your proxy by mail, please return your signed proxy card to us before the annual meeting.

-5-


If you hold your shares in “street name,” you must vote your shares in the manner prescribed by your broker or other nominee. Your broker or other nominee has enclosed or otherwise provided a voting instruction card for you to use in directing the broker or nominee how to vote your shares, and telephone and internet voting is also encouraged for shareholders who hold their shares in street name.

What is a proxy?

It is your designation of another person to vote stock you own. That other person is called a proxy. If you designate someone as your proxy in a written document, that document also is called a proxy or a proxy card. When you designate a proxy, you also may direct the proxy how to vote your shares. We refer to this as your “proxy vote.” Two executive officers, Marc M. Hazout and Manuel Chan, have been designated by the Board as the proxies for our 2016 annual meeting of shareholders. As such, Messrs. Hazout and Chan will vote on your behalf if you grant us your proxy.

What is a proxy statement?

It is a document that we are required to give you, in accordance with regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, when we ask you to designate proxies to vote your shares of our common stock at a meeting of our shareholders. The proxy statement includes information regarding the matters to be acted upon at the meeting and certain other information required by regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

What is the difference between a shareholder of record and a “street name” holder?

If your shares are registered directly in your name, you are considered the shareholder of record with respect to those shares.

If your shares are held in a stock brokerage account or by a bank, trust or other nominee, then the broker, bank, trust or other nominee is considered to be the shareholder of record with respect to those shares. However, you still are considered the beneficial owner of those shares, and your shares are said to be held in “street name.” Street name holders generally cannot vote their shares directly and must instead instruct the broker, bank, trust or other nominee how to vote their shares using the voting instruction card provided by it.

What does it mean if I receive more than one proxy card?

If you receive more than one proxy card, it means that you hold shares registered in more than one account. To ensure that all of your shares are voted, sign and return each proxy card or, if you submit your proxy vote by telephone or internet, vote once for each proxy card you receive.

Can I vote my shares in person at the meeting?

If you are a shareholder of record, you may vote your shares in person at the meeting by completing a ballot at the meeting. Even if you currently plan to attend the meeting, we recommend that you also submit your proxy as described above so that your vote will be counted if you later decide not to attend the meeting.

If you are a street name holder, you may vote your shares in person at the meeting only if you obtain a signed letter or other document from your broker, bank, trust or other nominee giving you the right to vote the shares at the meeting.

What vote is required for the election of directors or for a proposal to be approved?

Election of each director requires that the number of shares voted “FOR” a director nominee must exceed the number of votes cast “AGAINST” that nominee. The affirmative vote of a majority of the voting power of our common stock present and entitled to vote on the matter is required for the ratification of the selection of our independent auditor, the proposal for the advisory (non-binding) vote approving executive consideration and the proposal to conduct an advisory vote on the frequency of advisory votes on executive compensation.

-6-


How are votes counted?

You may vote “FOR,” “AGAINST” or “ABSTAIN” for each nominee for the Board of Directors and Proposals 2 and 3. You may vote “1 YEAR,” “TWO YEARS,” or “THREE YEARS” on Proposal 4.

The Company does not utilize “cumulative” voting.

If you submit your proxy but abstain from voting on one or more matters, your shares will be counted as present at the meeting for the purpose of determining a quorum. Shares not present at the meeting and shares voting “ABSTAIN” have no effect on the election of directors and proposals 2 and 3. If you abstain from voting on the proposal ratifying the selection of our independent auditor or on the Board proposal, your abstention has the same effect as a vote against that proposal.

If your shares are held in “street name” and you want to vote your shares in person at the Meeting, you must provide evidence at the Meeting of your stock holdings as of the Record Date, such as a recent brokerage account or bank statement. You must also provide a legal proxy issued by your broker or nominee authorizing you to vote your shares, along with a statement from the broker or nominee confirming that the shares have not yet been voted. In addition, you must present photo identification, such as a driver’s license.

Additionally, if you hold your shares in street name and do not provide voting instructions to your broker or other nominee, your shares will be considered to be “broker non-votes” and will not be voted on any proposal on which your broker or other nominee does not have discretionary authority. Shares that constitute broker non-votes will be counted as present at the meeting for the purpose of determining a quorum, but will not be considered entitled to vote on the proposal in question.

Brokers holding shares of record for customers generally are not entitled to vote on “non-routine” matters, unless they receive voting instructions from their customers. As used herein, “uninstructed shares” means shares held by a broker who has not received voting instructions from its customers on a proposal. The proposed ratification of SF Partnership, LLP as the Company’s independent auditor for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2016 is considered a “routine” matter. Accordingly, brokers are entitled to vote uninstructed shares with respect to this proposal. Your broker or other nominee may not vote on (i) the Board proposal, (ii) the advisory vote for executive compensation or (iii) the advisory vote on the frequency of future advisory votes on executive compensation without instructions from you.

Who will count the vote?

Representatives of Computershare Investor Services, our tabulation agent, will tabulate the votes and act as independent inspector of election.

How does the Board recommend that I vote?

You will vote on the following management proposals:

  Election of four directors: Marc Hazout, Manuel Chan, David Wahl, Haijun Tang.
     
Ratification of the selection of SF Partnership, LLP. as our independent auditor for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2016.
     
  The advisory (non-binding) vote approving executive compensation.
     
  One, Two, or Three years as the frequency of advisory votes on executive compensation.

The Board of Directors recommends that you vote FOR the election of each of the nominees to the Board of Directors, FOR the ratification of SF Partnership, LLP. as our independent auditor for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2016, FOR the advisory (non-binding) vote approving executive compensation and FOR the proposal designating three years as the frequency of advisory votes on executive compensation.

-7-


What if I do not specify how I want my shares voted?

If you submit a signed proxy card or submit your proxy by telephone or internet and do not specify how you want to vote your shares, we will vote your shares:

  FOR the election of all of the nominees for director;
     
FOR the ratification of the selection of SF Partnership, LLP. as our independent auditor for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2016;
     
  FOR the Advisory (non-binding) vote approving executive compensation.
     
THREE YEARS on the proposal concerning the frequency of advisory votes on executive compensation.

Can I change my vote after submitting my proxy?

Yes. You may revoke your proxy and change your vote at any time before your proxy is voted at the annual meeting. If you are a shareholder of record, you may revoke your proxy and change your vote by submitting a later-dated proxy by telephone, internet or mail, or by voting in person at the meeting. Attending the meeting will not revoke your proxy unless you specifically request to revoke it. To request an additional proxy card, or if you have any questions about the annual meeting or how to vote or revoke your proxy, you should write to Corporate Secretary, Silver Dragon Resources Inc., 200 Davenport Road; Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M5R 1J2 or call (416) 223-8500.

How can I attend the meeting?

You may be asked to present valid picture identification, such as a driver’s license or passport, before being admitted to the meeting. If you hold your shares in street name, you also will need proof of ownership to be admitted to the meeting. A recent brokerage statement or letter from your broker or other nominee are examples of proof of ownership.

Please let us know whether you plan to attend the meeting by marking the attendance box on the proxy card or responding affirmatively when prompted during telephone or internet voting.

You may also send an e-mail to info@silverdragonresources.com with your first and last name and telephone number with your notice that you would like to attend the meeting.

Who pays for the cost of proxy preparation and solicitation?

We pay for the cost of proxy preparation and solicitation, including the reasonable charges and expenses of brokerage firms, banks or other nominees for forwarding proxy materials to street name holders.

We are soliciting proxies primarily by mail. In addition, our directors, officers and regular employees may solicit proxies by telephone, facsimile or personally. These individuals will receive no additional compensation for their services other than their regular salaries.

What are the deadlines for submitting shareholder proposals for the 2017 annual meeting?

In order for a shareholder proposal to be considered for inclusion in our proxy statement for the 2017 annual meeting, the written proposal must be received at our principal executive offices at Silver Dragon Resources Inc., 200 Davenport Road, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M5R 1J2, Attention: Corporate Secretary. The proposal must comply with Securities and Exchange Commission regulations regarding the inclusion of shareholder proposals in company-sponsored proxy materials.

Our bylaws provide that a shareholder may nominate a director for election at the annual meeting or may present from the floor a proposal that is not included in the proxy statement if proper written notice is received by the Company. To be timely, a stockholder’s notice shall be delivered to or mailed and received at the principal executive offices of the corporation not less than 45 days nor more than 90 days prior to the meeting; provided, however, that in the event that less than 55 days’ notice or prior public disclosure of the date of the meeting is given or made to stockholders, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so received not later than the close of business on the 10th day following the date on which such notice of the date of the meeting was mailed or such public disclosure was made. For the 2017 annual meeting, notices of director nominations and shareholder proposals to be made from the floor must be received on or before January 4, 2017. The notice must contain the specific information required by our bylaws. You may request a copy of our bylaws by contacting our Corporate Secretary, Silver Dragon Resources Inc., 200 Davenport Road, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M5R 1J2, telephone: (416) 223-8500. Shareholder proposals and director nominations for which notice is received by us after January 4, 2017, may not be presented in any manner at the 2017 annual meeting.

-8-


At the request of the board of directors, any person nominated by the board of directors for election as a director shall furnish to the Secretary that information required to be set forth in a stockholder’s notice of nomination which pertains to the nominee.

How can I communicate with Silver Dragon’s Board of Directors?

You or any other interested party may communicate with our Board of Directors by sending a letter addressed to our Board of Directors, non-management directors, Chairman of the Board or specified individual directors to:

Silver Dragon Resources Inc.
200 Davenport Road
Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M5R 1J2

Any such letters will be delivered to an independent director or a specified director if so addressed. Letters relating to accounting matters will also be delivered to our Chief Financial Officer or Corporate Controller for handling in accordance with the Board’s policy on investigation of complaints relating to accounting matters.

How can I elect to access proxy statements and annual reports electronically instead of receiving paper copies through the mail?

You can request electronic delivery if you are a shareholder of record or if you hold your shares in street name. In fact, we encourage you to request electronic delivery of these documents if you are comfortable with the electronic format because it saves us the expense of printing and mailing the materials to you and helps preserve environmental resources. You can choose this option by:

  following the instructions provided on your proxy card or voter instruction form;
     
  following the instructions provided when you vote over the internet; or
     
  going to http://www.investorvote.com/HTM and following the instructions provided.

If you choose to view future proxy statements and annual reports over the internet, you will receive an e-mail message next year containing a link to the internet website where you can access our proxy statement and annual report. The e-mail also will include instructions for voting over the internet. You may revoke this request at any time by following the instructions at http://www.investorvote.com/HTM. Your election to view proxy materials online is permanent unless you revoke it later.

Do you have plans to implement the new rules that allow companies to direct their shareholders to an on-line copy of the proxy materials, rather than sending them paper copies?

New rules now allow companies to choose to mail their shareholders a notice that their proxy materials can be accessed over the internet, instead of sending a paper copy of the proxy statement and annual report. Shareholders of companies who choose this delivery method can always request delivery of a paper copy of the proxy materials. We have decided not to adopt this new delivery method for this year’s annual meeting materials. We are considering carefully how to realize the cost savings opportunity and environmental benefits of avoiding the printing and mailing of these documents to shareholders who do not request paper copies, while still maintaining a meaningful and convenient proxy process for our shareholders.

SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires our executive officers and directors to file initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of our securities with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Executive officers and directors are required to furnish us with copies of these reports. Based solely on a review of the Section 16(a) reports furnished to us with respect to fiscal year 2015 and written representations from the executive officers and directors, we believe that all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to our executive officers, directors and greater than 10% beneficial owners were complied with during fiscal year 2015 were satisfied.

Based on our review of filings made with the SEC, it appears that certain shareholders, Chan King Yuet (“Fanny Chan”) and Tsang Mun Ting, are not current with their reporting obligations under Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. As Section 16 filings are the individual responsibility of the respective shareholder, the Company is not obligated or responsible for such filings.

Our Board of Directors has determined that only one of our directors (Mr. David Wahl) has no material relationship with Silver Dragon Resources Inc. and is independent. Mr. Hazout is not independent because he is the Chief Executive Officer and President of Silver Dragon Resources Inc. Mr. Chan is not independent because he is a consultant to Silver Dragon Resources Inc. Mr. Tang is not independent as he is a member of and sits on the Board of our partner company Huaguan Industrial Corp. (HIC) in China.

Our Board has adopted certain standards to assist it in assessing the independence of each of our directors. Absent other material relationships with Silver Dragon Resources Inc., a director of Silver Dragon Resources Inc. who otherwise meets the independence qualifications of the NASDAQ listing standards may be deemed “independent” by the Board of Directors after consideration of all of the relationships between Silver Dragon Resources Inc., or any of our subsidiaries, and the director, or any of his or her immediate family members (as defined in the NASDAQ listing standards), or any entity with which the director or any of his or her immediate family members is affiliated by reason of being a partner, officer or a significant shareholder thereof.

In assessing the independence of our directors, our full Board carefully considered all of the business relationships between Silver Dragon Resources Inc. and our directors or their affiliated companies. This review was based primarily on responses of the directors to questions regarding employment, business, familial, compensation and other relationships with Silver Dragon Resources Inc. and our management.

Director Qualifications and Selection Process

Director Qualification Standards. Silver Dragon Resources Inc. will only consider as candidates for director individuals who possess the highest personal and professional ethics, integrity and values, and who are committed to representing the long-term interests of our shareholders. In evaluating candidates for nomination as a director of Silver Dragon Resources Inc., the Governance Committee will also consider other criteria, including current or recent experience as a chief executive officer of a public company or as a leader of another major complex organization; business and financial expertise; geography; experience as a director of a public company; gender and ethnic diversity on the Board; independence; and general criteria such as ethical standards, independent thought, practical wisdom and mature judgment. In addition, directors must be willing to devote sufficient time to carrying out their duties and responsibilities effectively, and should be committed to serving on the Board for an extended period of time. One or more of our directors must possess the education or experience required to qualify as an audit committee financial expert.

Director Nominee Selection Process. The selection process for director candidates includes the following steps: (1) identification of director candidates by the Governance Committee based upon suggestions from current directors and executives and recommendations received from shareholders; (2) possible engagement of a director search firm to provide names and biographies of director candidates for the Governance Committee’s consideration; (3) interviews of candidates by the Governance Committee members; (4) reports to the Board by the Governance Committee on the selection process; (5) recommendations by the Governance Committee; and (6) formal nomination by the Board for inclusion in the slate of directors at the annual meeting. Director candidates recommended by shareholders are given the same consideration as candidates suggested by directors and executive officers. A shareholder seeking to recommend a prospective candidate for the Governance Committee’s consideration should submit the candidate’s name and sufficient written information about the candidate to permit a determination by the Governance Committee whether the candidate meets the director selection criteria set forth in our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee Charter to the Corporate Secretary of Silver Dragon Resources Inc. at the address listed in the Shareholder Q&A section of this proxy statement.

Majority Vote Standard for Election of Directors

Our Amended and Restated Bylaws provide that in uncontested elections a nominee for director will be elected to the Board if the number of votes cast “FOR” the nominee’s election exceeds the number of votes cast “AGAINST” that nominee’s election. The vote standard for directors in a contested election is a plurality of the votes cast at the meeting.

Executive Sessions of the Board

Our non-employee directors meet in executive session at each regular meeting of the Board without the chief executive officer or any other member of management present, and the independent directors meet alone on an annual basis.

Director Policies

Policy Regarding Service on Other Boards. Our Board of Directors does not have a policy that restricts our directors from serving on the board of directors of other publicly traded companies unless the Board determines that such service will impair their service on the Silver Dragon Resources Board or could represent a conflict of interest.

Policy Regarding Attendance at Annual Meetings. We encourage, but do not require, our Board members to attend the annual meeting of shareholders.

Family Relationships

There are no family relationships among our executive officers and directors.

Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings

During the past ten years, none of our directors, executive officers, promoters, control persons, or nominees has been:

Director Meeting and Attendance

Code of Conduct and Ethics

Our Audit Committee has adopted and approved a Code of Conduct and Ethics (the “Code”) to apply to all of our directors, officers and employees. The Code, which was ratified by the Board of Directors, is intended to promote ethical conduct and compliance with laws and regulations, to provide guidance with respect to the handling of ethical issues, to implement mechanisms to report unethical conduct, to foster a culture of honesty and accountability, to deter wrongdoing and to ensure fair and accurate financial reporting.

Committees of the Board of Directors

Audit Committee

Compensation Committee

The Compensation Committee was created to assist the Board of Directors in the discharge of its responsibilities with respect to the compensation of our directors and officers.

The Compensation Committee is governed by a charter. The Compensation Committee reviews and recommends to the Board of Directors the corporate goals and objectives relevant to the compensation of, among others, the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, evaluates such officers’ performance in light of those goals and objectives, and recommend to the Board of Directors such officers’ compensation level based on this evaluation.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Silver Dragon Resources Inc.’s compensation philosophy is to structure compensation awards to members of our executive management that directly align their personal interests with those of our shareholders. Our executive compensation program is intended to attract, motivate, reward and retain the management talent required to achieve our corporate objectives and increase shareholder value, while at the same time making the most efficient use of shareholder resources. This compensation philosophy puts a strong emphasis on pay for performance, and uses equity awards as a significant component in order to correlate the long-term growth of shareholder value with management’s most significant compensation opportunities.

The three primary components of total direct compensation for our senior executives are:

  base salary;
  annual cash incentive bonus opportunity; and
  stock options

The relative weighting of the three components of compensation is designed to strongly reward long-term performance, by heavily emphasizing the proportion of long-term equity compensation.

Our executive officers do not receive any material incremental benefits that are not otherwise available to all of our employees.

Summary Compensation Table

The following table shows the cash and non-cash compensation for each of the last three fiscal years awarded to or earned by individuals who served as our chief executive officer or chief financial officer and each of our three other most highly compensated executive officers during fiscal year ended December 31, 2015:

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT

The following Report of the Audit Committee (the “Audit Report”) does not constitute soliciting material and should not be deemed filed or incorporated by reference into any other filing we make under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, except to the extent that we specifically incorporate this Audit Report by reference therein.

Role of the Audit Committee

The Audit Committee was established by the Board of Directors in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of Exchange Act to oversee the Company’s corporate accounting and financial reporting processes and audits of its financial statements. We have established an Audit Committee Charter that deals with the establishment of the Audit Committee and sets out its duties and responsibilities. The Audit Committee reviews and reassesses the adequacy of the Audit Committee Charter on an annual basis.

The Audit Committee has implemented procedures to ensure that during the course of each fiscal year it devotes the attention that it deems necessary or appropriate to each of the matters assigned to it under the Audit Committee’s charter.

With respect to our independent auditors, the Audit Committee, among other things, discussed with SF Partnership, LLP matters relating to its independence, including the disclosures made to the Audit Committee as required by the Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1 (Independence Discussions with Audit Committees).

This report has been furnished by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

Review of Related Person Transactions

Silver Dragon Resources Inc. has written procedures for reviewing transactions between Silver Dragon Resources Inc. and its directors and executive officers, their immediate family members and entities with which they have a position or relationship. These procedures are intended to determine whether any such related person transaction impairs the independence of a director or presents a conflict of interest on the part of a director or executive officer.

Transactions with Management and Others

No material business transactions exist between the Company and management, or family or affiliates of management as at December 31, 2015. The Board of Directors must be notified in advance, and authorize, any transaction with the Company that may involve a member of management, or family or affiliates of management.

Certain Business Relationships

No material business relationships exist between the Company and directors, or family or affiliates of directors as at December 31, 2015.

Indebtedness of Management

PROPOSAL 2

RATIFICATION OF SELECTION OF AUDITOR

The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors is directly responsible for the appointment, retention, compensation and oversight of the work of our independent certified public accounting firm. In making its determination regarding whether to appoint or retain a particular independent certified public accounting firm, the Audit Committee takes into account the views of management.

The Audit Committee has appointed SF Partnership, LLP (“SF”), an independent member of SF, as our independent certified public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2016. SF acted in such capacity since its appointment in January 2006. The Audit Committee has considered whether SF’s provision of services other than audit services is compatible with maintaining independence as our independent certified public accounting firm and determined that such services are compatible. SF has no interest, financial or otherwise, in our Company.

Although ratification by stockholders is not a prerequisite to the ability of the Audit Committee to appoint SF as our independent certified public accounting firm, our Audit Committee has recommended that our Board of Directors solicit the vote of our stockholders to ratify the appointment of SF. Accordingly, stockholders are being requested to ratify the appointment of SF as our independent certified public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2016. If the stockholders do not ratify the appointment of SF, the appointment of the independent certified public accounting firm will be reconsidered by the Audit Committee. If the appointment of SF is ratified, the Audit Committee will continue to conduct an ongoing review of SF’s scope of engagement, pricing and work quality, among other factors.

We do not currently expect a representative of SF to physically attend the Annual Meeting, however, it is anticipated that a SF representative will be available to participate in the Meeting via telephone or video conference with the opportunity to make a statement if the representative wishes to do so, and in order to respond to appropriate questions

Audit and Non-Audit Fees

Our Audit Committee pre-approved all audit and non-audit services provided to us during the periods listed below. The Audit Committee approves discrete projects on a case-by-case basis that may have a material effect on our operations and also considers whether proposed services are compatible with the independence of the public accountants.

Aggregate fees for professional services rendered to us by SF for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 are:

    Fiscal Year  
    2015     2014  
Audit Fees (1) $  45,959   $ 31,587  
Audit-Related Fees (2)   36,602     16,320  
Total* $  82,561   $ 47,907  

* All Amounts are in Canadian Dollars

  (1)

Audit Fees consisted of audit work on annual financial statements.

     
  (2)

Audit-related Fees consisted principally of reviews of quarterly financial statements.

At the Meeting a vote will be taken on a proposal to ratify the appointment of SF as our independent certified public accountants for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2016.

Recommendation of the Board

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE FOR RATIFICATION OF THE SELECTION OF SF PARTNERSHIP, LLP AS THE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR OF SILVER DRAGON RESOURCES INC.

PROPOSAL 3

NON-BINDING “SAY ON PAY” ADVISORY VOTE

“Say on Pay”

We are asking our shareowners to provide advisory approval of the compensation of our proxy officers, as we have described it in the “Executive Compensation” section of this proxy statement. While this vote is advisory, and not binding on our company, it will provide information to our Compensation Committee regarding investor sentiment about our executive compensation philosophy, policies and practices, which the Committee will be able to consider when determining executive compensation for the remainder of fiscal 2016 and beyond.

Your vote is requested. We believe that the information we’ve provided above and within the Executive Compensation section of this proxy statement demonstrates that our executive compensation program was designed appropriately and is working to ensure management’s interests are aligned with our shareowners’ interests to support long-term value creation.

OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR THE ADVISORY (NON-BINDING) VOTE APPROVING EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

-24-


PROPOSAL 4

FREQUENCY OF NON-BINDING “SAY ON PAY” ADVISORY VOTE

Frequency

In addition to the advisory approval of our executive compensation program, we are also seeking a non-binding determination from our shareowners as to the frequency with which shareowners would have an opportunity to provide an advisory approval of our executive compensation program. We are providing shareowners the option of selecting a frequency of one, two or three years, or abstaining. For the reasons described below, we recommend that our shareowners select a frequency of three years, or a triennial vote.

Our executive compensation program is designed to support long-term value creation, and a triennial vote will allow shareowners to better judge our executive compensation program in relation to our long-term performance. A triennial vote will provide us with the time to thoughtfully respond to shareowners’ sentiments and implement any necessary changes.

We carefully review changes to our program to maintain the consistency and credibility of the program which is important in motivating and retaining our employees. We therefore believe that a triennial vote is an appropriate frequency to provide our people and compensation committee sufficient time to thoughtfully consider shareowners’ input and to implement any appropriate changes to our executive compensation program, in light of the timing that would be required to implement any decisions related to such changes.

We will continue to engage with our shareowners regarding our executive compensation program during the period between shareowner votes. Engagement with our shareowners is a key component of our corporate governance. We believe this outreach to shareowners, and our shareowners’ ability to contact us at any time to express specific views on executive compensation, hold us accountable to shareowners and reduce the need for and value of more frequent advisory votes on executive compensation.

Your vote is requested. We therefore request that our shareowners select “Three Years” when voting on the frequency of advisory votes on executive compensation. Although the advisory vote is non-binding, our board will review the results of the vote and, consistent with our record of shareowner engagement, take them into account in making a determination concerning the frequency of advisory votes on executive compensation.

OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS SHAREOWNERS SELECT THREE YEARS ON THE PROPOSAL RECOMMENDING THE FREQUENCY OF ADVISORY VOTES ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

ANNUAL REPORT TO SHAREHOLDERS AND FORM 10-K

A copy of our Annual Report to Shareholders, including financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, is being furnished to you in connection with this Proxy Statement. Additional copies of our Annual Report on Form 10-K, which is on file with the SEC, are available to any shareholder who submits a request in writing to Silver Dragon Resources Inc. Copies of any exhibits to the Form 10-K are also available upon written request and payment of a fee covering our reasonable expenses in furnishing the exhibits.

“HOUSEHOLDING” OF PROXY MATERIALS

The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted rules that permit companies and intermediaries such as brokers to satisfy delivery requirements for proxy statements and annual reports with respect to two or more shareholders sharing the same address by delivering a single proxy statement or annual report, as applicable, addressed to those shareholders. This process, which is commonly referred to as “householding,” potentially provides extra convenience for shareholders and cost savings for companies. Although we do not household for our registered shareholders, some brokers household Silver Dragon Resources Inc. proxy materials and annual reports, delivering a single proxy statement and annual report to multiple shareholders sharing an address unless contrary instructions have been received from the affected shareholders. Once you have received notice from your broker that they will be householding materials to your address, householding will continue until you are notified otherwise or until you revoke your consent. If, at any time, you no longer wish to participate in householding and would prefer to receive a separate proxy statement or annual report, or if you are receiving multiple copies of either document and wish to receive only one, please notify your broker. We will deliver promptly upon written or oral request a separate copy of our annual report and/or proxy statement to a shareholder at a shared address to which a single copy of either document was delivered. For copies of either or both documents, shareholders should write to Silver Dragon Resources Inc., 200 Davenport Road, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M5R 1J2, or call (416) 223-8500.

OTHER MATTERS

We do not know of any other matters that may be presented for consideration at the annual meeting. If any other business does properly come before the annual meeting, the persons named as proxies on the enclosed proxy card will vote as they deem in the best interests of Silver Dragon Resources Inc.
