ALUMINUM CORPORATION OF CHINA LIMITED

ANNOUNCEMENT ON RESOLUTION PASSED

AT THE SEVENTH MEETING OF THE FOURTH SESSION

OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

 

The Company and all members of the board of directors (the "Board") warrant the truthfulness, accuracy and completeness of the contents of this announcement, and accept joint responsibilities for any false representation, misleading statement contained herein or material omission from this announcement.

 

The seventh meeting of the fourth session of the Board of Aluminum Corporation of China Limited* (the "Company") had considered and approved the "Proposal in Relation to Adjustment of the Term of Depreciation for the Company's Fixed Assets" by way of written resolution. Both the subject matter of the resolution and the way in which the resolution was passed were in compliance with the requirements of the Company Law of the People's Republic of China and the Articles of Association of the Company.

 

The "Proposal in Relation to Adjustment of the Term of Depreciation for the Company's Fixed Assets" was considered and approved by the Board.

 

According to the overall appraisal on the status of use and economic life of the Company's fixed assets conducted by China United Assets Appraisal Co., Ltd, which was appointed by the Company, the major equipments and buildings and property structures of the Company are in good operating conditions and use. In respect of most of the assets, their useful life well exceed their terms of depreciation currently adopted by the Company, but there are also some assets which, due to factors such as strong corrosion, have a useful life that is shorter than the term of depreciation currently adopted by the Company.

 

Therefore, to ensure more objective accounting estimates on the term of depreciation of the relevant assets, the Company proposed to adjust the term of depreciation for fixed assets based on the results of appraisal on the economic life of the fixed assets, in accordance with the relevant requirements of the "Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises" on the adjustment of the term of depreciation for fixed assets and in accordance with the internal control procedures of the Company. Further details of such proposed adjustment are as follows:

II.

Principles for the determination and adjustment of the term of depreciation for fixed assets

   
 

1.

Where the appraised economic life of the fixed assets is within the term of depreciation stipulated by the State and where the difference between such economic life and the current term of depreciation adopted by the Company is less than one year, the term of depreciation will remain unchanged;

     
 

2.

Where the appraised economic life of the fixed assets is within the term of depreciation stipulated by the State and where the difference between such economic life and the current term of depreciation adopted by the Company is or exceeds one year, the term of depreciation for fixed assets will be determined and adjusted in accordance with the economic life (rounded to the nearest whole number);

     
 

3.

Where the appraised economic life of the fixed assets exceeds the term of depreciation stipulated by the State, the term of depreciation for fixed assets will be determined and adjusted in accordance with the term of depreciation stipulated by the State;

     
 

4.

Red mud dam assets will not be treated as "other buildings" for the purposes of determining their terms of depreciation. Instead, the term of depreciation for such assets will be determined and adjusted in accordance with the constructed reservoir capacity and the reservoir capacity after the completion of the renovation.

     

III.

The base date for adjustment of the term of depreciation for fixed assets and the impact of adjustment on results

   
 

The base date for adjustment of the term of depreciation for the Company's fixed assets is intended to be 1 July 2010. It is estimated that such adjustment will add RMB400 million to RMB500 million to the profit before tax of the Company for 2010 but will not change or affect the trend of the Company's results for 2010.
