Jinchuan Group International Resources Co. Ltd. provided earnings guidance for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The board of directors of the company informed the shareholders of the company and potential investors that the group is expected to record a moderate profit for the six months ended 30 June 2013 as compared to a loss for the corresponding period in 2012.

The turnaround to profit from a loss position is mainly attributable to the following factors: the increase in gross profit arising from significant increase in revenue generated from the mineral and metal products trading business; exchange gains resulted from the currency appreciation on the trade and bill receivables, mainly denominated in Renminbi; and recognition of a gain on disposal of Carissa Bay Inc., a former subsidiary of the company.
