China Daye Non-Ferrous Metals Mining Limited provided group earnings guidance for the full year ended December 31, 2013. Based on a preliminary assessment of the unaudited consolidated management accounts of the group for the year ended December 31, 2013 and the information currently available to the Board, the group may incur a net loss for the year ended December 31, 2013 as compared to a net profit for the year ended December 31, 2012. The anticipated net loss of the group for the year ended December 31, 2013 is mainly attributable to (i) a significant decline in copper and gold price and an increase in the group's cost of sales which resulted in a decrease in gross profit margin for the year ended December 31, 2013 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2012 and (ii) an impairment of goodwill due to the slowdown of the global economy.
