OVERSEAS REGULATORY ANNOUNCEMENT
AND PRICE SENSITIVE INFORMATION

ANNOUNCEMENT ON ESTIMATED PROFIT DECREASE FOR THE YEAR 2011

 

Aluminum Corporation of China Limited ("the Company") and all the members of the board of directors of the Company ("the Board") warrant the truthfulness, accuracy and completeness of the information disclosed herein, and jointly accept responsibilities for any misrepresentation or misleading statement contained in or material omission from this announcement.

 

I.

ESTIMATED RESULTS FOR THE PERIOD

 

 

 

(1)

Period for estimated results: from 1 January 2011 to 31 December 2011.

 

   

 

(2)

Estimated results: based on the preliminary calculations of the finance department of the Company, the net profits (attributable to the equity holders of the Company) for the year 2011 are estimated to decrease by more than 50% from that for the corresponding period last year. Specific details of the financial information will be disclosed in the annual report of the Company for 2011.

 

   

 

(3)

Whether the estimated results are preliminarily audited by Certified Public Accountants: No.

 

   

II.

RESULTS FOR THE YEAR 2010 (COMPARATIVE FIGURES)

 

 

 

Based on the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles of the People's Republic of China and as disclosed in the annual report of the Company for 2010, for the year 2010 (i.e. from 1 January 2010 to 31 December 2010):

 

 

 

(1)

Net profits attributable to equity holders of the Company: RMB778 million;

 

   

 

(2)

Earnings per share: RMB0.06.

     

III.

MAJOR REASONS FOR ESTIMATED PROFIT DECREASE

 

 

 

Due to Europe's debt crisis and impacts of the global economic environment, the price of aluminum dropped sharply in the fourth quarter of the year 2011. Meanwhile, the price hike of electricity has increased the production cost of the Company. The loss arising from the Company's operations in the fourth quarter has affected the Company's overall annual profits.

 

 

IV.

The estimated results are based on preliminary calculations of the finance department of the Company. Finalised details of the financial information will be disclosed and finalized in the annual report of the Company for 2011. Investors should be aware of the investment risks involved.
