BASIC INFORMATION OF THE SUBJECT MATTERS OF THE TRANSACTION

(I)

Subject Matter I of the Transaction: the Company's creditor's rights in Henan Aluminum

1.

One of the subject matters of the transaction is the creditor's rights of RMB2,809,000,000 in Henan Aluminum to which the Company was entitled as at 31 December 2012. Such creditor's rights are the creditor's rights of entrusted loans due to the batches of entrusted loans granted since December 2010. The entrusted loans were granted mainly for reducing the financing costs of Henan Aluminum by replacing the high-cost financing of Henan Aluminum and for replenishing the working capital.

The above creditor's rights are free from mortgage, pledge or any other transfer limit. Neither are they involved in any legal procedures such as lawsuit, arbitration or writ, asset freezing, nor are there any other situations obstructing title transfer.

2.

The transaction shall be conducted by way of transfer agreement. The transaction price of such creditor's rights shall be based on the appraised value.

According to the valuation reports on the Target Creditor's Rights issued by China United Assets Appraisal Group Co., Limited
(), as at 31 December 2012, the valuation benchmark date, the appraised value of the creditor's rights of entrusted loans in Henan Aluminum to which the Company was entitled was RMB1,639,470,000. The impairment of Creditors'Rights was due to the insolvency of Henan Aluminum, which had accrued loss and the carrying value of net assets of RMB2,602,249,100 and RMB-1,469,789,100 as at 31 December 2012, respectively. Its production and operation mainly hinged upon the funding of the Company. In light of the current business condition of Henan Aluminum and the industry prospect, it is unlikely to see significant improvement in its operations in the short term and thus the realizable value of its assets decreased.

(II)

Subject Matter II of the Transaction: the Company's creditor's rights in Qingdao Light Metal

1.

One of the subject matters of the transaction is the creditor's rights of RMB116,500,000 in Qingdao Light Metal to which the Company was entitled as at 31 December 2012. Such creditor's rights are the creditor's rights of entrusted loans due to the batches of entrusted loans granted since August 2012. The entrusted loans were granted mainly for reducing the financing costs of Qingdao Light Metal by replacing the mature bank loans of Qingdao Light Metal and for replenishing the working capital.

The above creditor's rights are free from mortgage, pledge or any other transfer limit. Neither are they involved in any legal procedures such as lawsuit, arbitration or writ, asset freezing, nor are there any other situations obstructing title transfer.

2.

The transaction shall be conducted by way of transfer agreement. The transaction price of such creditor's rights shall be based on the appraised value.

According to the valuation reports on Target Creditor's Rights issued by China United Assets Appraisal Group Co., Limited
(), as at 31 December 2012, the valuation benchmark date, the appraised value of the creditor's rights of entrusted loans in Qingdao Light Metal to which the Company was entitled was RMB116,500,000.

IV.

TRANSACTION AGREEMENT

The Company will officially enter into the transaction agreement with the transferee of such equity interests upon the completion of the transaction concerning the equity transfer of aluminum fabrication enterprises as a whole by way of open tender at the China Beijing Equity Exchange. The Company will make timely disclosure of the major items in the transaction agreement upon the formal execution of the agreement.

V.

THE IMPACT OF THE TRANSACTION ON THE COMPANY

The Company transferred its equity interests in the eight aluminum fabrication enterprises by way of open tender at the China Beijing Equity Exchange on 13 May 2013, including its 86.84% equity interests in Henan Aluminum and its 100% equity interests in Qingdao Light Metal. In light of the fact that upon the completion of equity transfer of Henan Aluminum and Qingdao Light Metal, the relationship between the Company and Henan Aluminum as well as Qingdao Light Metal will be changed from internal creditor and debtors to external creditor and debtors. If Chinalco successfully acquires the above equity interests, the above relationship between creditor and debtors will become a capital use by the controlling shareholder over the listed company. Also, the operation conditions of Target Enterprises showed little optimism, it is very likely that the Company can not recover its creditor's rights in them. In order to tackle the abovementioned issues properly, the Company proposes to transfer the above Target Creditor's Rights according to the appraised value. Upon the completion of the transfers of equity interests and Target Creditor's Rights as mentioned above, the Company will no longer hold any equity interests in Henan Aluminum and Qingdao Light Metal and will be no longer entitled to the Target Creditor's Rights.

For the creditor's rights of the Company in the Target Enterprises due to the loans occurred between the Target Enterprises and the subsidiaries of the Company, the Target Enterprises undertake to assume the liability for the repayment while the transferee of the Target Creditor's Rights undertakes the joint liability for the repayment. For the creditor's rights of the Company in the Target Enterprises occurred after the valuation benchmark date, the Target Enterprises undertake to assume the liability for the repayment while the transferee of the Target Creditor's Rights undertakes the joint liability for the repayment. After the completion of the above transactions, the changes of operation conditions and solvency in Henan Aluminum and Qingdao Light Metal will no longer influence the Company, which is beneficial to the long-term development of the Company.

As at 31 December 2012, the loss proportionate as to the 86.84% equity interests in Henan Aluminum held by the Company is approximately RMB1,150,000,000, which will be transferred to the transferee of the equity interests at the consideration of RMB1 this time. The loss recognized in the previous years will be reversed, adding to the net profits attributable to the parent on the consolidated statements. The difference between the appraised value and the book value of the Target Creditor's Rights amounting to RMB1,170,000,000 will decrease the net profits attributable to the parent on the consolidated statements. The impacts imposed on the net profits of the Company upon the loss and gains from the two transactions of equity transfer and the transfer of creditor's rights being offset will be insignificant.

Notice is hereby given.
