Announcement on New Method for Amortization of Coal Mining Rights

The Company and all members of the board of directors warrant the truthfulness, accuracy and completeness of the information disclosed herein, and accept joint responsibility for any misrepresentation or misleading statement contained in or material omission from this announcement.

I.

SUMMARY OF THE NEW ACCOUNTING ESTIMATION METHOD

Pursuant to the relevant stipulations in the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 6-- Intangible Assets, the method chosen by enterprises for the amortization of an intangible asset shall reflect the expected form of the realization of the economic benefits in relation to such intangible asset. In case the expected form of realization could not be ascertained reliably, the straight-line method shall be applied for amortization.

On 23 January 2013, the Company acquired 70.82% equity interest in (Ningxia Electric Power Group Co., Ltd. ) (now renamed as (Chalco Ningxia Energy Group Limited)), which has been included into the scope of the consolidated statements of the Company. Given that most energy companies adopt the unit-of-production amortization method, the Company, upon consolidation of Chalco Ningxia Energy Group Limited, applied a new accounting policy, i.e., "the accounting policy to adopt unit-of-production method for amortization of coal mining rights", effective from 1 February 2013.

II.

IMPACT OF THE NEW ACCOUNTING ESTIMATION METHOD ON THE COMPANY

According to the preliminary calculation by the finance department of the Company and based on the estimate of coal output of 8,000,000 tonnes by the enterprises of the Company, the amortization of coal mining rights of the Company for 2013 will be approximately RMB110,000,000. The new accounting estimation method makes no retroactive adjustments to the financial reports of previous years, and therefore will have no impact on the financial reports previously disclosed.
