Aluminum Corporation of China Limited*
(a joint stock limited company incorporated in the People's Republic of China with limited liability)

(Stock Code: 2600)

References are made to the announcements published by Aluminum Corporation of China Limited * (the "Company") and Turquoise Hill Resources Ltd. ("Turquoise Hill Resources"), formerly Ivanhoe Mines Ltd., on April 2, 2012, July 3, 2012 and August 2, 2012 (Hong Kong Time), respectively. The Company today announced the termination of the lock-up agreement entered into between the Company and Turquoise Hill Resources on April 1, 2012 (the "Lock-up Agreement") and the proportional takeover transaction contemplated thereunder.

Pursuant to the Lock-up Agreement, the Company would make a proportional takeover offer for up to 60%, but not less than 56%, of the common shares of SouthGobi Resources Ltd. (TSX: SGQ; HK: 1878, "SouthGobi") at C$8.48 per share and Turquoise Hill Resources would tender all of its shares of SouthGobi, on a pro-rata basis, to the Company.

After careful consideration, both the Company and Turquoise Hill Resources have concluded that the proposed proportional takeover transaction has minimal prospect of obtaining the necessary regulatory approvals within an acceptable timeframe. As a result, the Company and Turquoise Hill Resources have terminated the Lock-up Agreement, including the Company's obligation to make the proportional takeover offer.

The Company's original intended offer was announced on April 2, 2012 and two 30-day extensions were announced on July 3, 2012 and August 2, 2012, respectively, with the second extension set to expire on September 4, 2012.
