China Nonferrous Mining Corporation Limited provided consolidated earnings guidance for the interim period ended June 30, 2015. The board of directors of the company informed the shareholders of the company and potential investors that, based on a preliminary assessment of the unaudited consolidated management accounts of the Group and the information currently available to the Board, the profit attributable to owners of the company for the interim period ended June 30, 2015 is expected to be decreased by approximately over 50% as compared with the corresponding period in 2014. The board considered that the anticipated decrease in the profit attributable to owners of the company for the interim period ended June 30, 2015 as compared with the corresponding period last year is mainly attributable to: a decrease of approximately 14% in the average London Metal Exchange (LME) copper price in the first half of 2015 as compared with the corresponding period in 2014 due to the slower growth of the global economy; a decrease of approximately 18% in average price of sulfuric acid as compared with the corresponding period in 2014 as impacted by the local supply and demand; and although the Company produced 32,000 tonnes of cathode copper, representing an increase of 42% as compared with the corresponding period last year, the output of blister copper and sulfuric acid was decreased by 10% and 16% as compared with the corresponding period last year to 100,000 tonnes and 262,000 tonnes respectively due to maintenance and market reasons, which resulted in a significant decrease in sales revenue of the Company as compared with the corresponding period last year.
