Product Market Reviews

Primary Aluminum Market

In 2013, the world economy recovered slowly, which brought about a slight increase in the global consumption of primary aluminum. However, additional primary aluminum production capacity aggravated the problem of overcapacity in the world's aluminum market. Meanwhile, it was expected that the global liquidity will tighten further, which will continue to suppress the price of aluminum. In 2013, the price of primary aluminum continued its downward trend. In the beginning of 2013, the "financial cliff" problem in the U.S. was successfully solved. The economies of countries such as the PRC and the U.S. had positive performance, which led the international and domestic aluminum prices to record high in the year. Subsequent to March, the upturn of the world economy was below expectation. The liability crunch around the world was expected to worsen. Mounting pressure of oversupply in the aluminum market drove the price of primary aluminum to plunge continuously. In the third quarter, the major economies in the world witnessed upturn. Along with the fact that the global demand-supply dynamics of primary aluminum was improved due to the reduction of production, the price of primary aluminum was rather stable. The price remained volatile in general. In the fourth quarter, the Federal Reserve in the U.S. announced that it would launch its QE exit plan. Meanwhile, the demand and supply conflict in the global primary aluminum market worsened again, which suppressed the price of aluminum. As a result, the price of aluminum declined for a second time. In December, the international and domestic aluminum prices hit record low for the year. In 2013, the average price of three-month aluminum futures at SHFE amounted to RMB14,592/tone, representing a year-on-year decrease of 7.62%.

According to the statistics, the global output and consumption of primary aluminum for year 2013 were approximately 50.57 million tonnes and approximately 50.90 million tonnes, respectively; while the domestic output and consumption of primary aluminum were approximately 24.90 million tonnes and approximately 24.80 million tonnes, respectively. As of the end of December in 2013, the capacity utilization rate of primary aluminum enterprises in the world (inclusive of the PRC) was 78.46%, while that of the PRC was 79.81%.

Alumina Market

In 2013, as there was limited new production of alumina abroad in recent years, the overall spot supply of aluminum overseas tended to be balanced and periodically stressed due to the rapid expansion of aluminum in the Middle East and the rebound in the demand for imported alumina in the PRC. Although the alumina price at LME continued to decline, the fundamentals supported a slight rebound in the foreign spot price of alumina in 2013, with annual average price up to US$326 per tonne, representing a year-on-year increase of 2.19%.

In 2013, under the pressure of the continuous decline in the domestic aluminum price, the domestic price of alumina continued to fall as a whole until the end of September. In the fourth quarter, driven by increased demands for centralized production of primary aluminum enterprises in Xinjiang region, the spot price of alumina slightly rebounded. However, such rebound was limited by the pressure of the a aluminum price. The annual average price of alumina at home was RMB2,497 per tonne, representing a year-on-year decrease of 5.70%.

According to the statistics, the global output and consumption of alumina for 2013 were approximately 106.80 million tonnes and approximately 105.13 million tonnes, respectively. The domestic output and consumption of alumina were approximately 49 million tonnes and approximately 51.30 million tonnes, respectively. Imported alumina in the PRC amounted to approximately 3.83 million tonnes in 2013. As of the end of December 2013, the alumina capacity utilization rate of alumina enterprises in the world (inclusive of the PRC) was 79.48%, while that of the PRC was 81.67%.

As and when required, the management convened president meetings which are chaired by the president and attended by the management personnel, and the presidential office meetings which are chaired by the senior management with attendants including department heads from the Company's headquarters.

The Company's management including managers from branches, subsidiaries, associated companies and department heads from the headquarters convened annual, interim and monthly work meetings in order to summarize and arrange works on a yearly, half yearly and monthly basis. The meetings have facilitated the organization, coordination, communication and implementation of the Company's various operations.

Internal control

It is the responsibility of the board of directors of an enterprise to establish a sound internal control system, to implement them effectively, evaluate their effectiveness and disclose the report on such internal control evaluation in accordance with the requirements of the Regulation System for Enterprise Internal Control. The Supervisory Committee conducts supervision on the establishment and implementation of internal control by the Board. The management is responsible for arrangement and leadership of the daily operation of the internal control of an enterprise. The Board, the Supervisory Committee and the Directors, Supervisors and senior management warrant that there is no any misrepresentation, misleading statement or material omission in the contents of this report, and accept joint and several liabilities for the truthfulness, accuracy and completeness of the content of the report.

The objectives of internal control are to give a reasonable assurance that the Company's management is lawful and compliant, that the assets are safe and that the financial reporting and related information are true and complete; to improve the operational efficiency and effectiveness; and to facilitate the achievement of the Company's development strategy. Internal control has its inherent limitations, so it only provides a reasonable guarantee for the achievement of the above goals. Moreover, as changes in circumstances may render internal control inappropriate or reduce the degree of compliance with control policy or procedures, it is risky, to a certain extent, to predict the effectiveness of internal control in the future based on the results of an internal control evaluation.

The Board and the management attached much importance to the establishment and improvement of the internal control system. The Company had fully established and evaluated the relevant internal control system across three spectrums covering the corporate governance and system, business and accounting procedures and information system control in compliance with the requirements of "Basic Principles of Corporate Internal Control" and its implementation guidelines, "Guidelines on Internal Control for Companies Listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange" and Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and obtained the audit opinion from the external auditors confirming the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. The internal control system served as a reasonable guarantee of the legal compliance of the operation and management of the Company, its asset safety and truthfulness and completeness of its financial reports and relevant information, and increased the operational efficiency and performance of the Company, which safeguarded the smooth implementation of the Company's development strategies.

The internal control system of the Company was applied in various aspects such as production, sales, finance and supply. The Company performed annual reviews on the system in order to monitor its operation in a timely manner, and revised or abolished some regulations in accordance with relevant PRC laws and regulations and actual conditions of the Company. As a special committee established under the Board, the Audit Committee of the Company has supervised and inspected the comprehensiveness and implementation of the internal control system of the Company, and regularly discussed with the management on the internal control system in order to ensure that the management had performed its duties to establish an effective internal control system.

The Company set up departments dedicated to daily examination and supervision of internal control, and designated personnel to examine and supervise internal control according to the relevant provisions and conditions of the Company. The department assigned for such purpose inspected and oversaw the periodic internal control test of all functional departments and units in the headquarters. At the end of the year, all functional departments and units in headquarters are required to evaluate their internal control and sign a statement for verification. The Board of the Company will also conduct self-evaluation and sign a statement regarding the internal control of the Company as a whole.

In 2013, the Company continued to further improve the internal control system in compliance with the requirements of the "Basic Principles of Corporate Internal Control", "Application Guidelines for Enterprise Internal Control", "Guidelines on Internal Control for Companies Listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange" and the U.S. Sarbanes-Oxley Act. According to the "Basic Principles of Corporate Internal Control", and focusing on the target of internal control, the Company streamlined and optimized its existing internal control on five aspects including internal environment, risk assessment, control activities, information and communication, and internal supervision, based on the changes in the internal and external business environment. The Company also conducted tests and assessment to ensure the sustained effectiveness of the system design and operation.

Auditors' Remuneration

According to the relevant regulations issued by the Ministry of Finance of China and the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council ("SASAC"), there are restrictions in respect of the number of years of audit services that an accounting firm can continuously provide to a state-owned enterprise and its subsidiaries (the "SASAC Rotation Requirements").

In accordance with the SASAC Rotation Requirements and as approved at the 2011 annual general meeting of the Company on June 29, 2012, the Company ceased to re-appoint PricewaterhouseCoopers Zhong Tian CPAs Company Limited ("PwC Zhong Tian") and PricewaterhouseCoopers ("PwC") as the domestic and international auditors of the Company. Ernst & Young Hua Ming LLP and Ernst & Young (collectively "Ernst & Young") have been appointed as the Company's domestic and international auditors respectively for the year 2012. Save as aforesaid, the Company did not change the auditors for the last three years.

Upon the approval at the 2012 annual general meeting of the Company held on June 27, 2013, Ernst & Young Hua Ming LLP and Ernst & Young (collectively "Ernst & Young") were appointed as the 2013 domestic and international auditors of the Company.

The aggregate fees in respect of audit and non-audit services provided by Ernst & Young during the year were RMB25.2 million, among which, the expenses of RMB1.9 million were paid for the non-audit services provided to the Company by Ernst & Young included the issue of comfort letter in respect of issuance of US dollar senior perpetual securities, disposal of equity interests and assets in aluminum fabrication segment as well as disposal of equity interests in Chalco Iron Ore, while expense of RMB0.03 million was paid for providing other tax advisory services.

Auditor's reporting responsibilities are set out in the independent auditor's report on page 120 to 121.

Compliance and Exemption of Corporate Governance Obligations Imposed by New York Stock Exchange

Based on its listing rules, New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") imposed a series of corporate governance standards for companies listed on the NYSE. However, NYSE has granted permission to listed companies of foreign issuers to follow their respective "home country" practice and has granted waivers for compliance with corporate governance standards under NYSE listing rules. One of the conditions for such waiver is for the listed company to disclose in its annual report how the corporate governance practices in its "home country" differ from those followed by companies under NYSE listing standards.

The Company had compared the corporate governance standards generally adopted by the companies incorporated in the PRC and the standards developed by NYSE, as follows:

Independent Directors Constituting the Majority

NYSE requires that the board of a listed company must comprise a majority of Independent Directors. There is no identical corporate governance requirement in the PRC. The Board of the Company currently comprises three independent Directors and six non-independent Directors, which is in compliance with the requirement by the PRC securities regulatory authorities that the board of a listed company shall comprise at least one-third of independent directors during the reporting period.

Corporate Governance Committee

NYSE requires a listed company to establish a Corporate Governance Committee which comprises entirely of independent directors. The Corporate Governance Committee shall be co-established with the Nomination Committee and have a written charter. The Corporate Governance Committee is responsible (i) for recommending to the board a set of corporate governance guidelines applicable to the corporation; and (ii) for supervising the operation of the board and the management. The Corporate Governance Committee shall also be subject to evaluation annually.

Like most of the other companies incorporated in the PRC, the Company believes that corporate governance measures are of critical importance and should be implemented by the Board. The Company accordingly does not separately maintain a Corporate Governance Committee.

7.	Fund Management

8.	Performance of Undertakings

	Chinalco's undertakings during or subsisting in the year were as follows:

	1.	When the Company offered its A share in 2007, Chinalco's undertakings were principally related to the non-competition undertakings by Chinalco:

		Chinalco will arrange to dispose of its aluminum fabrication business, or the Company will acquire the aluminum fabrication business from Chinalco, and acquire the pseudoboehmite business from Chinalco within a certain period of time following the listing of the Company's A shares.

		In 2013, the horizontal competition in the aluminum fabrication business was solved through the adjustment of the development strategy made by the Company, during which the equity interests in eight aluminum fabrication enterprises and receivables, as well as the assets of Northwest Aluminum Fabrication Branch () were disposed to Chinalco in entirety.

		Up till now, both Shanxi Aluminum Plant, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Chinalco, and the Shandong branch of the Company had minor activities in the pseudo-boehmite market. However, as the pseudo-boehmite business is not among the principal activities of the Company, and the pseudo-boehmite business in Shanxi Aluminum Plant of Chinalco was of a small scale, the acquisition of such assets will incur additional cash expenditure and will not improve the Company's performance.

		Since the market conditions for pseudo-boehmite are immature, Chinalco does not propose to inject its pseudo-boehmite business to the Company's portfolio for the time being.

		The Company and Chinalco will strive to resolve the problem of horizontal competition on pseudo-boehmite business as the opportune time arises with reference to the market situations within five years since January 1, 2014.

	2.	In 2013, the Company had transferred the relevant assets of the alumina production line of Guizhou Branch to Chinalco, which resulted in a new horizontal competition on alumina business between the Company and Chinalco. Chinalco undertook that it will halt production within three years till June 30, 2016 after taking over alumina assets in Guizhou Branch as the solution to the horizontal competition.

9.	Punishments and Rectifications Involved by Listed Companies and Their Directors, Supervisors, Senior Management, Shareholders, and De Facto Controllers

	During the year, the Company and its Directors, Supervisors, senior management, shareholders, and de facto controller were not under any investigation, administrative punishment, public criticism from CSRC and public censures from stock exchanges.

10.	Explanation of Other Significant Events

	Non-public Offering of A shares

	On August 24, 2012, the proposal that not more than 1,450 million A shares in the PRC to qualified legal persons, natural persons, or other legally qualified investors was approved at the 29th meeting of the 4th session of the Board of the Company.

**	On June 9, 2013, the Company and Chinalco entered into an equity interests transfer agreement, pursuant to which the Company intended to transfer the equity interests held by the Company in eight enterprises engaged in aluminum fabrication to Chinalco. Those aluminum fabrication enterprises were no longer consolidated into the financial statements of the Company since June 27, 2013. For details of the transfer of these equity interests, please refer to the announcement dated June 9, 2013 and the circular dated June 7, 2013 of the Company. Certain aluminum fabrication enterprises mentioned above were actual transaction parties under Xinan Aluminum Mutual Provision of Products and Services Framework Agreement and Framework Agreement for Aluminum Products Fabrication Services, and conducted continuing connected transactions with Chinalco in the capacity of members of the Group under the above framework agreements during the period from January 1, 2013 to June 27, 2013. Since June 27, 2013, these aluminum enterprises were no longer members of the Group and no longer entered into transactions with Chinalco pursuant to the above framework agreements.

Notes:

1.	The Independent Non-executive Directors of the Company have reviewed the above transactions and confirmed:

	(i)	the transactions have been entered into in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Company;

	(ii)	the terms of the transactions are fair and reasonable, and are in the interest of the Company's Shareholders;

	(iii)	the transactions have been entered into on normal commercial terms or, where there are not sufficient comparable transactions to judge whether they are on normal commercial terms, they are on terms no less favourable than those available from or offered to independent third parties; and

	(iv)	the transactions have been undertaken in accordance with the terms of relevant agreements governing such transactions.

Pursuant to Rule 14A.38 of the Hong Kong Listing Rules, the Board engaged the auditor of the Company to conduct a limited assurance engagement on the above continuing connected transactions in accordance with Hong Kong Standard on Assurance Engagements 3000 "Assurance Engagements Other Than Audits or Reviews of Historical Financial Information" and with reference to Practice Note 740 "Auditor's Letter on Continuing Connected Transactions under the Hong Kong Listing Rules" issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants. The auditor has reported the results of their procedures to the Board stating that:

	a.	nothing has come to the auditor's attention that causes the auditor to believe that the disclosed continuing connected transactions have not been approved by the Company's board of directors.

	b.	for transactions involving the provision of goods or services by the Group, nothing has come to the auditor's attention that causes the auditor to believe that the transactions were not, in all material respects, in accordance with the pricing policies of the Company.

	c.	nothing has come to the auditor's attention that causes the auditor to believe that the transactions were not entered into, in all material respects, in accordance with the relevant agreements governing such transactions.

	d.	with respect to the aggregate amount of each of the continuing connected transactions set out above, nothing has come to the auditor's attention that causes the auditor to believe that such continuing connected transactions have exceeded the maximum aggregate annual value disclosed in the previous announcement dated August 24, 2012 and August 27, 2012 made by the Company in respect of each of the disclosed continuing connected transactions.

3.	On December 23, 2011, Chinalco entered into an agreement with China Cinda Asset Management Corporation for the acquisition of its 32.15% equity interests in Xinan Aluminum. Upon the acquisition, the equity interests held by Chinalco in Xinan Aluminum increased from 17.81% to 49.96% and Xinan Aluminum had thus become an associate of Chinalco. Since Xinan Aluminum then held 40% equity interests in Chalco Southwest Aluminum Co., Ltd. ("Chalco Southwest Aluminum"), a subsidiary of the Company, Xinan Aluminum was an associate of Chinalco and Chinalco was deemed to directly hold 40% equity interests in Chalco Southwest Aluminum pursuant to the Hong Kong Listing Rules. Chalco Southwest Aluminum was thus a connected subsidiary of the Company and the transactions between the Company and Xinan Aluminum or between the Company and Chalco Southwest Aluminum both constituted connected transactions. On June 9, 2013, the Company and Chinalco entered into an equity interests transfer agreement, pursuant to which the Company intended to transfer the equity interests held by the Company in eight enterprises engaged in aluminum fabrication, including Chalco Southwest Aluminum, to Chinalco. Chalco Southwest Aluminum was no longer a connected subsidiary of the Company since June 27, 2013 and has become a subsidiary of Chinalco. Hence, in accordance with the Hong Kong Listing Rules, Chalco Southwest Aluminum is still a connected person of the Company. The transactions between the Company and Xinan Aluminum or Chalco Southwest Aluminum continues to constitute connected transactions.

4.	Certain related party transactions in Note 37 to the financial statements also constitute continuing connected transactions (as defined in Chapter 14A of the Hong Kong Listing Rules) pursuant to the Hong Kong Listing Rules.

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2013 (Amounts expressed in thousands of RMB unless otherwise stated)

1.	GENERAL INFORMATION

	Aluminum Corporation of China Limited () (the "Company") and its subsidiaries (together the "Group") are principally engaged in the manufacture and distribution of alumina, primary aluminum and aluminum fabricated products. The Group is also engaged in the development of bauxite related resources, the production, fabrication and distribution of bauxite, carbon and relevant non-ferrous metal products and the trading of non-ferrous metal products and coal products.

	The Company is a joint stock company which is domiciled and was established on September 10, 2001 in the People's Republic of China (the "PRC") with limited liability. The address of its registered office is No. 62 North Xizhimen Street, Haidian District, Beijing, the PRC.

	The Company's shares have been listed on the Main Board of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and the New York Stock Exchange in 2001. The Company also listed its A shares on the Shanghai Stock Exchange in 2007.

	In the opinion of the directors, the ultimate holding company and parent of the Company is Aluminum Corporation of China () ("Chinalco"), a company incorporated and domiciled in the PRC and wholly owned by the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council.

2.	BASIS OF PREPARATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

	The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.

	2.1	Basis of preparation

		The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRSs") issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (the "IASB"). In addition, these financial statements also comply with the applicable disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for available-for-sale financial investments and financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, which have been measured at fair value. Disposal groups held for sale are stated at the lower of their carrying amounts and fair values less costs to sell as further explained in Note 2.13.

		These financial statements are presented in thousands of Chinese Renminbi ("RMB") unless otherwise stated.

		Going concern

		As at December 31, 2013, the Group's current liabilities exceeded its current assets by approximately RMB33,672 million (December 31, 2012: RMB34,837 million). The directors of the Company have considered the Group's available sources of funds as follows:

		*	The Group's expected net cash inflows from operating activities in 2014;

		*	Unutilised banking facilities of approximately RMB66,795 million as at December 31, 2013, of which amounts totaling RMB45,728 million will be subject to renewal during the next 12 months. The directors of the Company are confident that these banking facilities could be renewed upon expiration based on the Group's past experience and good credit standing; and

		*	Other available sources of financing from banks and other financial institutions given the Group's credit history.

		The directors of the Company believe that the Group has adequate resources to continue operation for the foreseeable future of not less than 12 months from the approval date of these financial statements. The directors of the Company therefore are of the opinion that it is appropriate to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the consolidated financial statements.

		Discontinued operation

		A discontinued operation is a component of the Group's business, the operations and cash flows of which can be clearly distinguished from the rest of the Group and which represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations, or is part of a single coordinated plan to dispose of a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations, or is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale. Classification as a discontinued operation occurs upon disposal or when the operation meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale, if earlier. It also occurs when the operation is abandoned. Where an operation is classified as discontinued, a single amount is presented on the face of the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, which comprises comparative information for prior periods is represented in the financial statements so that the disclosures relate to all operations that have been discontinued by the end of the reporting period for the latest period presented.

		On June 27, 2013, the Company disposed of all of its equity interests in the following subsidiaries to Chinalco, including (1) 90.03% equity interest in Chalco Henan Aluminum Co., Ltd. () ("Henan Aluminum"); (2) 60% equity interest in Chalco Southwest Aluminum Co., Ltd. (); (3) 100% equity interest in Chalco Southwest Aluminum Cold Rolling Co., Ltd. (); (4) 56.86% equity interest in Huaxi Aluminum Co., Ltd. (); (5) 93.30% equity interest in Chalco Ruimin Co., Ltd. (); (6) 100% equity interest in Chalco Qingdao Light Metal Co., Ltd. () ("Qingdao Light Metal") (collectively as "Aluminum Fabrication Subsidiaries"). Meanwhile, the Company disposed of Northwest Aluminum Fabrication Branch of the Company ("Aluminum Fabrication Branch") to Northwest Aluminum Fabrication Plant, a subsidiary of Chinalco, on June 27, 2013. The above transactions are settled in cash. In addition, as an adherent condition of the transfer of the equity interest in Henan Aluminum and Qingdao Light Metal, the Company also transferred the entrusted loans due from Henan Aluminum and Qingdao Light Metal to Chinalco (collectively as "Transferred Loan to Chinalco"), which were completed on June 27, 2013.

		The above disposed Aluminum Fabrication Subsidiaries and Aluminum Fabrication Branch form the "Aluminum Fabrication Segment" of the Group. In accordance with IFRS 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations, the Aluminum Fabrication Segment was classified as a discontinued operation and the operating results of the Aluminum Fabrication Segment has been presented as a discontinued operation in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the year ended December 31, 2013. The comparative figures for the consolidated statement of comprehensive income and related notes have been restated to reflect the reclassification between continuing operations and the discontinued operation accordingly.

		Details on the discontinued operation are disclosed in Note 6 to the financial statements.

	2.2	Changes in accounting policies and disclosures

		The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Group's annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012, except the new accounting policy adopted by the Group in respect of the discontinued operation and coal mining rights after the acquisition of Chalco Ningxia Energy Group Co., Ltd. () ("Ningxia Energy") (formerly named as Ningxia Power Group Co., Ltd. ("Ningxia Power") ()) in January 2013 as disclosed in Note 6 and Note 38(a), respectively, to the consolidated financial statements, and those new accounting policies adopted by the Group in respect of the adoption of the following new and revised International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRSs") that are effective from January 1, 2013 and the early adoption of Amendment to IAS 36 Recoverable Amount Disclosures for Non-Financial Assets.

		*	IAS 1 Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income - Amendments to IAS 1

		*	IAS 19 Employee Benefits (Revised)

		*	IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures (as revised in 2011)

		*	IAS 36 Recoverable Amount Disclosures for Non-Financial Assets - Amendments to IAS 36 (early adopted)

		*	IFRS 1 Government Loans - Amendments to IFRS 1

		*	IFRS 7 Disclosures - Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities - Amendments to IFRS 7

		*	IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statement and IAS 27 Separate Financial Statements (as revised in 2011)

		*	IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements

		*	IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities

		*	IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement

		*	IFRIC 20 Stripping Costs in the Production Phase of a Surface Mine

		*	Annual Improvements May 2012

		The principal effects of adopting these new and revised IFRSs are as follows:

		IAS 1 Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income - Amendments to IAS 1

		The amendments to IAS 1 introduce a grouping of items presented in other comprehensive income ("OCI"). Items that could be reclassified (or "recycled") to profit or loss at a future point in time (e.g., exchange differences on translation of foreign operations, net loss or gain on available-for-sale financial assets) are presented separately from items that will never be reclassified (e.g., the revaluation of land and buildings). The amendments have affected the presentation only and have had no impact on the financial position or performance of the Group. The consolidated statement of comprehensive income has been restated to reflect the changes.

		IAS 19 Employee Benefits (Revised)

		The IASB has issued numerous amendments to IAS 19. The revised standard introduces significant changes in the accounting for defined benefit pension plans including removing the choice to defer the recognition of actuarial gains and losses. Other changes include modifications to the timing of recognition for termination benefits, the classification of short-term employee benefits and disclosures of defined benefit plans. These amendments have had no impact on the Group's financial position or performance.

		IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures (as revised in 2011)

		As a consequence of the new IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements, and IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities, IAS 28 Investments in Associates, has been renamed IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures, and describes the application of the equity method to investments in joint ventures in addition to associates. These amendments have had no impact on the Group's financial position or performance.

		IAS 36 Recoverable Amount Disclosures for Non-Financial Assets - Amendments to IAS 36 (early adopted)

		These amendments remove the unintended consequences of IFRS 13 on the disclosures required under IAS 36. In addition, these amendments require disclosure of the recoverable amounts for the assets or cash-generating units ("CGUs") for which impairment loss has been recognised or reversed during the period. These amendments are effective retrospectively for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2014 with earlier application permitted, provided IFRS 13 is also applied. The Group has early adopted these amendments to IAS 36 in the current period. IAS 36 disclosures in respect of impairment of the Group's property, plant and equipment are provided in Note 8.

		IFRS 1 Government Loans - Amendments to IFRS 1

		These amendments require first-time adopters to apply the requirements of IAS 20 Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance, prospectively to government loans existing at the date of transition to IFRSs. Entities may choose to apply the requirements of IFRS 9 (or IAS 39, as applicable) and IAS 20 to government loans retrospectively if the information needed to do so had been obtained at the time of initially accounting for that loan. The exception would give first-time adopters relief from retrospective measurement of government loans with a below-market rate of interest. The amendments have had no impact on the Group.

		IFRS 7 Disclosures - Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities - Amendments to IFRS 7

		The amendments require an entity to disclose information about rights to set-off financial instruments and related arrangements (e.g., collateral agreements). The disclosures provide users with information that is useful in evaluating the effect of netting arrangements on an entity's financial position. The new disclosures are required for all recognised financial instruments that are set off in accordance with IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation. The disclosures also apply to recognised financial instruments that are subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement, irrespective of whether the financial instruments are set off in accordance with IAS 32. As the Group does not have any offsetting transactions of financial instruments, the adoption of the amendments has had no effect on the financial statements.

		IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements and IAS 27 Separate Financial Statements (as revised in 2011)

		IFRS 10 establishes a single control model that applies to all entities including special purpose entities. IFRS 10 replaces the parts of the previously existing IAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements that dealt with consolidated financial statements and SIC 12 Consolidation - Special Purpose Entities.

		IFRS 10 changes the definition of control such that an investor controls an investee when it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. To meet the definition of control in IFRS 10, all three criteria must be met, including: (a) an investor has power over an investee; (b) the investor has exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and (c) the investor has the ability to use its power over the investee to affect the amount of the investor's returns. IFRS 10 has had no impact on the consolidation of investments held by the Group.

		IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements

		IFRS 11 replaces IAS 31 Interests in Joint Ventures and SIC 13 Jointly Controlled Entities - Non-Monetary Contributions by Venturers. IFRS 11 addresses only two forms of joint arrangements, i.e., joint operations and joint ventures, and removes the option to account for joint ventures using proportionate consolidation. Instead, joint arrangements that meet the definition of a joint venture must be accounted for using the equity method. Application of this new standard has no impact on the financial position and financial performance of the Group because there are no changes in classification of the Group's joint arrangements after the Group assessed its investments in joint ventures and the Group's joint ventures are accounted for using equity method of accounting.

		IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities

		IFRS 12 sets out the requirements for disclosures relating to an entity's interests in subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates and structured entities. The requirements in IFRS 12 are more comprehensive than the previously existing disclosure requirements for subsidiaries. For example, where a subsidiary is controlled with less than a majority of voting rights. While the Group has subsidiaries with material non-controlling interests, there are no unconsolidated structured entities. IFRS 12 disclosures are provided in Note 10 and 11.

		IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement

		IFRS 13 establishes a single source of guidance under IFRSs for all fair value measurements. IFRS 13 does not change when an entity is required to use fair value, but rather provides guidance on how to measure fair value under IFRSs when fair value is required or permitted. IFRS 13 defines fair value as an exit price.

		Application of IFRS 13 has not materially impacted the fair value measurements of the Group. Additional disclosures where required, are provided in the individual notes relating to the assets and liabilities whose fair values were determined. Fair value hierarchy is provided in Note 3.

		IFRIC 20 Stripping Costs in the Production Phase of a Surface Mine

		This interpretation applies to waste removal (stripping) costs incurred in surface mining activity during the production phase of the mine. The interpretation addresses the initial measurement and subsequent measurement of the benefit from the stripping activity. According to the Group's assessment, this standard has had no material impact on the financial position and performance of the Group.

		Annual Improvements May 2012

		Annual Improvements 2009-2011 Cycle issued in May 2012 sets out amendments to a number of standards. There are separate transitional provisions for each standard. While the adoption of some of the amendments may result in changes in accounting policies, none of these amendments have had a significant financial impact on the Group. Details of the key amendments most applicable to the Group are as follows:

		IAS 1 Clarification of the requirement for comparative information (Amendment)

		This amendment to IAS 1 clarifies the difference between voluntary additional comparative information and the minimum required comparative information. An entity must include comparative information in the related notes to the financial statements when it voluntarily provides comparative information beyond the minimum required comparative period. The additional voluntarily comparative information does not need to be presented in a complete set of financial statements.

		An opening statement of financial position (known as the "third balance sheet") must be presented when an entity applies an accounting policy retrospectively, makes retrospective restatements, or reclassifies items in its financial statements, provided any of those changes has a material effect on the statement of financial position at the beginning of the preceding period. The amendment clarifies that a third balance sheet does not have to be accompanied by comparative information in the related notes. The amendment has had no impact on the Group.

		IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment

		This amendment clarifies that major spare parts and servicing equipment that meet the definition of property, plant and equipment are not inventories.

		IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation

		This amendment clarifies that income taxes arising from distributions to equity holders are accounted for in accordance with IAS 12 Income Taxes. The amendment removes existing income tax requirements from IAS 32 and requires entities to apply the requirements in IAS 12 to any income tax arising from distributions to equity holders.

		IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting

		The amendment clarifies the requirements in IAS 34 relating to segment information for total assets and liabilities for each reportable segment to enhance consistency with the requirements in IFRS 8 Operating Segments. Total assets and liabilities for a reportable segment need to be disclosed only when the amounts are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker and there has been a material change in the total amount disclosed in the entity's previous annual consolidated financial statements for that reportable segment. As the Group included the disclosure of total segment assets and liabilities as reported to the chief operating decision maker in prior year's financial statements, the amendment does not have any impact on the Group's consolidated financial statements.

	2.3	Issued but not yet effective financial reporting standards

		The Group has not applied the following new and revised IFRSs, that have been issued but are not yet effective, in these financial statements:

		*	IAS 19 Employee Benefits entitled Defined Benefit Plans: Employee Contributions - Amendments to IAS 19 ²

		*	IAS 32 Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities - Amendments to IAS 32 ¹

		*	IAS 39 Novation of Derivatives and Continuation of Hedge Accounting - Amendments to IAS 39 ¹

		*	IFRS 9 Financial Instruments ⁴

		*	IFRS 9 Financial Instruments - Hedge Accounting and Amendments to IFRS 9, IFRS 7 and IAS 39 ⁴

		*	IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements, IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interest in Other Entities and IAS 27 Separate Financial Statements - Investment Entities - Amendments to IFRS 10, IFRS 12 and IAS 27 ¹

		*	IFRS 14 Regulatory Deferral Accounts ³

		*	IFRIC 21 Levies ¹

		*	Annual improvements December 2013 ²

		¹	Effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2014
		²	Effective for annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2014
		³	Effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2016
		⁴	No mandatory effective date yet determined but is available for adoption

		Further information about those IFRSs that are expected to be applicable to the Group is as follows:

		IFRS 9 Financial Instruments and Amendments to IFRS 9, IFRS 7 and IAS 39

		IFRS 9, as issued, reflects the first phase of the IASB's work on the replacement of IAS 39 and applies to classification and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities as defined in IAS 39. The adoption of the first phase of IFRS 9 will have an effect on the classification and measurement of the Group's financial assets, but will not have an impact on the classification and measurement of the Group's financial liabilities. In October 2013, IASB added to IFRS 9 the requirements related to hedge accounting and made some related changes to IAS 39 and IFRS 7 which include the corresponding disclosures about risk management activity for applying hedge accounting.

		IAS 39 is aimed to be replaced by IFRS 9 in its entirety. Before this entire replacement, the guidance in IAS 39 on impairment of financial assets continues to apply. The previous mandatory effective date of IFRS 9 was removed by IASB in October 2013 and a mandatory effective date will be determined after the entire replacement of IAS 39 is completed. However, the standard is available for application now. The Group will quantify the effect in conjunction with the other phases, when the final standard including all phases is issued.

		IAS 32 Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities - Amendments to IAS 32

		These amendments clarify the meaning of "currently has a legally enforceable right to set-off" and the criteria for non-simultaneous settlement mechanisms of clearing houses to qualify for offsetting. The Group does not expect that these amendments will have a material financial impact in its financial statements.

		IFRIC 21 Levies

		IFRIC 21 clarifies that an entity recognises a liability for a levy when the activity that triggers payment, as identified by the relevant legislation, occurs. For a levy that is triggered upon reaching a minimum threshold, the interpretation clarifies that no liability should be anticipated before the specified minimum threshold is reached. The Group does not expect that IFRIC 21 will have a financial impact on its future financial statements upon adoption of this interpretation.

		Annual improvements December 2013

		The Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2010-2012 Cycle and 2011-2013 Cycle issued in December 2013 set out amendments to a number of IFRSs. There are separate transitional provisions for each standard. While the adoption of some of the amendments may result in changes in accounting policies, none of these amendments are expected to have a significant financial impact on the Group.

		Annual improvements to IFRS 2010-2012 Cycle

		IFRS 3 Business Combination

		Clarified that the contingent consideration in a business acquisition that is not classified as equity is subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss whether or not it falls within the scope of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments.

		IFRS 8 Operating Segment

		Clarified that operating segments may be combined/aggregated if they are consistent with the core principle of the standard, if the segments have similar economic characteristics and if they are similar in other qualitative respects. If they are combined, the entity must disclose the economic characteristics (e.g., sales and gross margins) used to assess whether the segments are 'similar'. Further it clarified that the reconciliation of segment assets to total assets is only required to be disclosed if the reconciliation is reported to the chief operating decision maker, similar to the required disclosure for segment liabilities.

		IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement

		The IASB clarified in the Basis for conclusions that short-term receivables and payables with no stated interest rates can be held at invoice amounts when the effect of discounting is immaterial.

		IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment and IAS 38 Intangible assets

		The amendment to IAS 16 and IAS 38 provides more detail when an entity revalues assets and clarifies how an adjustment is recognised. It clarified that revaluation can be performed, as follows:

		*	Adjust the gross carrying amount of the asset to market value; or

		*	Determine the market value of the carrying amount and adjust the gross carrying amount proportionately so that the resulting carrying amount equals the market value.

		Annual improvements to IFRS 2011-2013 Cycle

		IFRS 3 Business Combination

		The amendment clarified that joint arrangements are outside the scope of IFRS 3 and the scope exception applies only to the accounting in the financial statements of the joint arrangement itself.

		IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement

		The amendment clarified that the portfolio exception in IFRS 13 can be applied to financial assets, financial liabilities and other contracts.

	2.4	Consolidation

		The consolidated financial statements comprise of the financial statements of the Company and all of its subsidiaries for the year ended December 31, 2013. Control is achieved when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. Specifically, the Group controls an investee if and only if the Group has:

		*	Power over the investee (i.e. existing rights that give it the current ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee)

		*	Exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee, and

		*	The ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns

		When the Group has less than a majority of the voting or similar rights of an investee, the Group considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether it has power over an investee, including:

		*	The contractual arrangement with the other vote holders of the investee

		*	Rights arising from other contractual arrangements

		*	The Group's voting rights and potential voting rights

		The Group re-assesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control. Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Group obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Group loses control of the subsidiary. Assets, liabilities, income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the statement of comprehensive income from the date the Group gains control until the date the Group ceases to control the subsidiary.

		Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income (OCI) are attributed to the equity holders of the parent of the Group and to the non-controlling interests, even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance. When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with the Group's accounting policies. All intra-group assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between members of the Group are eliminated in full on consolidation.

		A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary, without a loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction. If the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it:

		*	Derecognises the assets (including goodwill) and liabilities of the subsidiary

		*	Derecognises the carrying amount of any non-controlling interests

		*	Derecognises the cumulative translation differences recorded in equity

		*	Recognises the fair value of the consideration received

		*	Recognises the fair value of any investment retained

		*	Recognises any surplus or deficit in profit or loss

		*	Reclassifies the parent's share of components previously recognised in OCI to profit or loss or retained earnings, as appropriate, as would be required if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities

		(a)	Merger accounting for business combinations under common control

			The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the combining entities or businesses in which the common control combination occurs as if they had been combined from the date when the combining entities or businesses first came under the control of the controlling party.

			The net assets of the combining entities or businesses are combined using the existing book values from the controlling parties' perspective. No amount is recognised in consideration for goodwill or excess of the acquirers' interest in the net fair value of the acquiree's identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over cost at the time of the common control combination, to the extent of the continuation of the controlling party's interest.

			The consolidated statement of comprehensive income includes the results of each of the combining entities or businesses from the earliest date presented or since the date when the combining entities or businesses first came under common control, where this is a shorter period, regardless of the date of the common control combination.

			Transaction costs, including professional fees, registration fees, costs of furnishing information to shareholders, costs or losses incurred in combining operations of the previously separate businesses etc., incurred in relation to the common control combination that is to be accounted for by using merger accounting are recognised as expenses in the period in which they are incurred.

		(b)	Acquisition method of accounting for other business combinations

			The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for the acquisition of subsidiaries by the Group, other than common control combinations. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary is the fair values of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by the Group. The consideration transferred includes the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. On an acquisition-by-acquisition basis, the Group recognises any non-controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest's proportionate share of the recognised amounts of the acquiree's identifiable net assets. The excess of the consideration transferred, the amount recognised for non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the acquisition-date fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquiree over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. If this is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired in the case of a bargain purchase, the difference is recognised directly in profit or loss.

			If the business combination is achieved in stages through multiple transactions, the previously held equity interest is remeasured at its acquisition date fair value and any resulting gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss.

		(c)	Subsidiaries

			A subsidiary is an entity, directly or indirectly, controlled by the Company. Control is achieved when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee (i.e., existing rights that give the Group the current ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee).

			When the Company has, directly or indirectly, less than a majority of the voting or similar rights of an investee, the Group considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether it has power over an investee, including:

			(a)	the contractual arrangement with the other vote holders of the investee;

			(b)	rights arising from other contractual arrangements; and

			(c)	the Group's voting rights and potential voting rights.

			Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases.

			Inter-company transactions, balances, income and expenses on transactions between group companies are eliminated. Profits and losses resulting from inter-company transactions that are recognised in assets are also eliminated. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary in the consolidated financial statements to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

			In the Company's statement of financial position, as permitted under IFRS 1, the investments in subsidiaries acquired prior to January 1, 2008, being the date of transition to IFRS, are stated at deemed cost as required under the previously adopted accounting standards. Subsidiaries acquired after that date are stated at cost less provision for impairment losses. The results of subsidiaries are accounted for by the Company on the basis of dividends received and receivable.

			When the Company loses control of a subsidiary in multiple arrangements (transactions), which indicate that the multiple arrangements is a single transaction, the multiple arrangements are accounted for as a single transaction.

		(d)	Investments in joint ventures and associates

			A joint venture is a type of joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the net assets of the joint venture. Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement, which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities require unanimous consent of the parties sharing control.

			An associate is an entity over which the Group has significant influence. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee, but is not control or joint control over those policies.

			The considerations made in determining significant influence or joint control are similar to those necessary to determine control over subsidiaries.

			The Group's investments in its associates and joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method.

			Under the equity method, the investment in an associate or a joint venture is initially recognised at cost. The carrying amount of the investment is adjusted to recognise changes in the Group's share of net assets of the associate or joint venture since the acquisition date. Goodwill relating to the associate or joint venture is included in the carrying amount of the investment and is neither amortised nor individually tested for impairment.

			The statement of comprehensive income reflects the Group's share of the results of operations of the associate or joint venture. Any change in OCI of those investees is presented as part of the Group's OCI. In addition, when there has been a change recognised directly in the equity of the associate or joint venture, the Group recognises its share of any changes, when applicable, in the statement of changes in equity. Unrealised gains and losses resulting from transactions between the Group and the associate or joint venture are eliminated to the extent of the interest in the associate or joint venture.

			The aggregate of the Group's share of profit or loss of an associate and a joint venture is shown on the face of the statement of comprehensive income outside operating profit and represents profit or loss after tax and non-controlling interests in the subsidiaries of the associate or joint venture.

			The financial statements of the associate or joint venture are prepared for the same reporting period as the Group. When necessary, adjustments are made to bring the accounting policies in line with those of the Group.

			After application of the equity method, the Group determines whether it is necessary to recognise an impairment loss on its investment in its associate or joint venture. At each reporting date, the Group determines whether there is objective evidence that the investment in the associate or joint venture is impaired. If there is such evidence, the Group calculates the amount of impairment as the difference between the recoverable amount of the associate or joint venture and its carrying value, then recognises the loss as "Share of profit of an associate and a joint venture" in the statement of comprehensive income.

			Upon loss of significant influence over the associate or joint control over the joint venture, the Group measures and recognises any retained investment at its fair value. Any difference between the carrying amount of the associate or joint venture upon loss of significant influence or joint control and the fair value of the retained investment and the proceeds from disposal is recognised in profit or loss.

	2.5	Segment reporting

		Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision-maker. The chief operating decision-makers, who are responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, have been identified as the presidents of the Company (formerly "the Company's Executive Committee") that make strategic decisions.

	2.6	Related parties

		A party is considered to be related to the Group if:

		(a)	the party is a person or a close member of that person's family and that person

			(i)	has control or joint control over the Group;

			(ii)	has a significant influence over the Group; or

			(iii)	is a member of the key management personnel of the Group or of a parent of the Group.

			or

		(b)	the party is an entity where any of the following conditions applies:

			(i)	the entity and the Group are members of the same group;

			(ii)	one entity is an associate or joint venture of the other entity (or of a parent, subsidiary or fellow subsidiary of the other entity);

			(iii)	the entity and the Group are joint ventures of the same third party;

			(iv)	one entity is a joint venture of a third entity and the other entity is an associate of the third entity;

			(v)	the entity is a post-employment benefit plan for the benefit of employees of either the Group or an entity related to the Group;

			(vi)	the entity is controlled or jointly controlled by a person identified in (a); and

			(vii)	a person identified in (a) (i) has significant influence over the entity or is a member of the key management personnel of the entity (or of a parent of the entity).

	2.7	Fair value measurement

		The Group measures financial instruments, such as future contracts, at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Also, fair values of financial instruments measured at amortised cost are disclosed in Note 3.

		Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:

		*	In the principal market for the asset or liability, or

		*	In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability

		The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible to by the Group.

		The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest.

		A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant's ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.

		The Group uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs.

		All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorised within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:

Level 1	-	Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2	-	Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable
Level 3	-	Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable

		For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the Group determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorisation (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.

	2.8	Foreign currency translation

		(a)	Functional and presentation currency

			Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group's entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the "functional currency"). The consolidated financial statements are presented in RMB, which is the Company's functional currency and the Group's presentation currency.

		(b)	Transactions and balances

			Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in profit or loss.

			Foreign exchange gains and losses that relate to borrowings and cash and cash equivalents are presented in the statement of comprehensive income within "finance costs, net". All other foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in "other gains, net" in profit or loss.

			Translation differences on non-monetary financial assets and liabilities such as equities held at fair value through profit or loss are recognised in profit or loss as part of the fair value gain or loss.

		(c)	Group companies

			The results and financial positions of all the group entities (none of which has the currency of a hyper-inflationary economy) that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:

			(i)	assets and liabilities in each statement of financial position presented are translated at the closing rates at the end of the reporting period;

			(ii)	income and expenses in each statement of comprehensive income are translated at average exchange rates (unless this average is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the rates at the dates of the transactions); and

			(iii)	all resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income. Upon disposal of a foreign operation, the other comprehensive income related to the foreign operation is reclassified to profit or loss.

			Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign entity are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign entity and translated at the closing rate. Exchange differences arising are recognised in other comprehensive income.

	2.9	Property, plant and equipment (including construction in progress)

		Property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items. Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of any replaced parts is derecognised. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the financial period in which they are incurred.

		Depreciation on property, plant and equipment is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate their costs over their estimated useful lives down to their residual values, as follows:

	Buildings		10-45 years
	Machinery		10-30 years
	Transportation facilities		10 years
	Office and other equipment		4-5 years

	The assets' depreciation method, residual values and useful lives are reviewed and adjusted, if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period. An asset's carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset's carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.

	Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount of the asset and are recognised within "other gains, net" in profit or loss.

	Construction in progress ("CIP") represents buildings under construction, and plant and equipment pending for installation, and is stated at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Cost comprises construction expenditures, other expenditures necessary for the purpose of preparing the CIP for its intended use and those borrowing costs incurred before the assets are ready for their intended use that are eligible for capitalisation. CIP is transferred to property, plant and equipment when the CIP is ready for its intended use.

2.10	Intangible assets

	(a)	Goodwill

		Goodwill arises on the acquisition of subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures and represents the excess of the consideration transferred over the fair value of the Group's share of the net identifiable assets of the acquiree at the date of acquisition.

		For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated to each of the cash-generating units, or groups of cash-generating units, that is expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. Each unit or group of units to which the goodwill is allocated represents the lowest level within the entity at which the goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes. Goodwill is monitored at the operating segment level.

		Goodwill impairment reviews are undertaken annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate a potential impairment. The carrying value of goodwill is compared to the recoverable amount, which is the higher of value in use and the fair value less costs of disposal. Any impairment is recognised immediately as an expense and is not subsequently reversed.

	(b)	Mining rights and mineral exploration rights

		The Group's mining rights include coal, bauxite and other mining rights.

		Mining rights are initially recorded at cost which include payments of consideration for extraction rights, exploration and other direct costs.

		Amortisation of bauxite and other mining rights is provided on a straight-line basis according to the shorter of the expiration date of the mining certificate and the mineable period of natural resources. Estimated useful lives of the majority of the mining rights range from 3 to 30 years.

		Coal mining rights are amortised on a unit-of-production basis over the economically recoverable reserves of the mine concerned.

		Mineral exploration rights are initially recorded at the cost of the acquisition and adopt the same method as the one for the mining rights to amortise since the exploration rights convert to the mining rights and begin to produce.

	(c)	Computer software

		Acquired computer software licenses are capitalised on the basis of the costs incurred to acquire and bring to use the specific software. These costs are amortised over their estimated useful lives, which do not exceed 10 years. Costs associated with maintaining computer software programmes are recognised as an expense as incurred.

	(d)	Periodic review of the useful life and amortisation method

		For intangible assets with finite useful life, the estimated useful life and amortisation method are reviewed annually at the end of each reporting period and adjusted when necessary.

	2.11	Research and development costs

		Research and development expenditures are classified as research expenditures and development expenditures according to the nature of the expenditures and whether there is significant uncertainty of development activities transforming to assets.

		Research expenditures are recognised in profit or loss for the current period. Development expenditures are recognised as assets when all of the following criteria are met:

		(i)	it is technically feasible to complete the asset so that it will be available for use or sale;

		(ii)	management intends to complete the asset and intends and has the ability to use or sell it;

		(iii)	it can be demonstrated that the asset will generate probable future economic benefits;

		(iv)	there are adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development of the asset and management has the ability to use or sell the asset; and

		(v)	the expenditure attributable to the asset during its development phase can be reliably measured.

		Development expenditures that do not meet the criteria above are recorded in profit or loss for the current period as incurred. Development expenditures that have been recorded in profit or loss in previous periods will be not recognised as assets in subsequent periods. Capitalised development expenditures are included in property, plant and equipment and intangible assets as appropriate according to their natures.

	2.12	Impairment of non-financial assets

		Assets that have an indefinite useful life, for example goodwill or intangible assets not ready to use, are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for impairment. Assets that are subject to amortisation are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash-generating units). Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each reporting date.

	2.13	Non-current assets held for sale

		Non-current assets are classified as assets held for sale when their carrying amount is to be recovered principally through a sales transaction and the sale is considered highly probable. They are stated at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell.

	2.14	Financial assets

		(a)	Classification

			The Group classifies its financial assets in the following categories: at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables and available-for-sale investments. The classification depends on the purpose for which the financial assets were acquired. Management determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition.

			(i)	Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

				Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are financial assets held for trading. A financial asset is classified in this category if acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the short term. Derivatives are also categorised as held for trading unless they are designated as hedges. Assets in this category are classified as current assets if they are expected to be settled within 12 months; otherwise, they are classified as non-current.

			(ii)	Loans and receivables

				Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They are included in current assets, except for those with maturities greater than 12 months after the end of the reporting period, which are classified as non-current assets.

			(iii)	Available-for-sale investments

				Available-for-sale investments are non-derivatives that are either designated in this category or not classified in any of the other categories. They are included in non-current assets unless the investment matures or management intends to dispose of it within 12 months after the end of the reporting period.

		(b)	Recognition and measurement

			Regular purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on the trade date, that is the date that the Group commits to purchase or sell the asset. Investments are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs, except in the case of financial assets recorded at fair value through profit or loss. Financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognised at fair value and transaction costs are expensed in profit or loss. Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the investments have expired or have been transferred and the Group has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership. Available-for-sale investments and financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are subsequently carried at fair value. Loans and receivables are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

			Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of the "financial assets at fair value through profit or loss" category are presented in profit or loss within "other gains, net" in the period in which they arise. Dividend income from financial assets at fair value through profit or loss is recognised in profit or loss as part of other income when the Group's right to receive payments is established.

			Changes in the fair value of monetary and non-monetary securities classified as available-for-sale investments are recognised in other comprehensive income.

			When securities classified as available-for-sale investments are sold or impaired, the accumulated fair value adjustments recognised in equity are included in profit or loss as "other gains, net".

			Interest on available-for-sale securities calculated using the effective interest method is recognised in profit or loss as part of other income. Dividends on available-for-sale equity instruments are recognised in profit or loss as "other income" when the Group's right to receive payments is established.

		(c)	Derecognition of financial assets

			A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is primarily derecognised (i.e, removed from the Group's consolidated statement of financial position) when:

			*	the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired; or

			*	the Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a "pass-through" arrangement; and either (a) the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) the Group has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.

			When the Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset or has entered into a pass-through arrangement, it evaluates if and to what extent it has retained the risk and rewards of ownership of the asset. When it has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset nor transferred control of the asset, the Group continues to recognise the transferred asset to the extent of the Group's continuing involvement. In that case, the Group also recognises an associated liability. The transferred asset and the associated liability are measured on a basis that reflects the rights and obligations that the Group has retained.

		(d)	Impairment of financial assets

			The Group assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets are impaired. In the case of equity investments classified as available-for-sale investments, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of the security below its cost is considered as an indicator that the securities are impaired. If any such evidence exists for available-for-sale investments, the cumulative loss - measured as the difference between the acquisition cost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on that financial asset previously recognised in profit or loss - is removed from equity and recognised in profit or loss. Impairment losses recognised in profit or loss on equity instruments are not reversed through profit or loss.

	2.15	Financial liabilities

		(a)	Initial recognition and measurement

			Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, loans and borrowings, or as derivatives designated as hedging instruments in an effective hedge, as appropriate.

			All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value plus, in the case of loans and borrowings, directly attributable transaction costs.

			The Group's financial liabilities include financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss and loans and borrowings.

		(b)	Subsequent measurement

			The subsequent measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification as follows:

			Loans and borrowings

			After initial recognition, loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method unless the effect of discounting would be immaterial, in which case they are stated at cost. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognised as well as through the effective interest rate amortisation process.

			Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the effective interest rate. The effective interest rate amortisation is included in finance costs in profit or loss.

			Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss

			Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include financial liabilities held for trading and financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition as at fair value through profit or loss.

			Financial liabilities are classified as held for trading if they are acquired for the purpose of repurchasing in the near term. This category includes derivative financial instruments entered into by the Group that are not designated as hedging instruments in hedge relationships as defined by IAS 39. Separated embedded derivatives are also classified as held for trading unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments. Gains or losses on liabilities held for trading are recognised in profit or loss. The net fair value gain or loss recognised in profit or loss does not include any interest charged on these financial liabilities.

			Financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition at fair value through profit or loss are designated at the date of initial recognition and only if the criteria of IAS 39 are satisfied.

		(c)	Derecognition of financial liabilities

			A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled, or expires.

			When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as a derecognition of the original liability and a recognition of a new liability, and the difference between the respective carrying amounts is recognised in profit or loss.

	2.16	Offsetting financial instruments

		Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the statement of financial position when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

	2.17	Inventories

		Inventories comprise raw materials, work-in-progress, finished goods, spare parts and packaging materials and others, and are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined using the weighted average method. Work-in-progress and finished goods comprise materials, direct labour and an appropriate proportion of all production overhead expenditure (based on normal operating capacity). Borrowing costs are excluded.

		Provision for impairment of inventories is usually determined by the excess of cost over net realisable value and recorded in profit or loss. Net realisable values are determined based on the estimated selling price less estimated conversion costs, selling expenses and related taxes in the ordinary course of business. Provision for or reversal of provision for impairment of inventories is recognised within "cost of sales" in profit or loss.

	2.18	Trade and notes receivables and other receivables

		Trade and notes receivables and other receivables are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business. If collection of these receivables is expected in one year or less (or in the normal operating cycle of the business if longer), they are classified as current assets.

		Trade and notes receivables and other receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment.

	2.19	Cash and cash equivalents

		Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks and other short-term highly liquid investments (including time deposits) with original maturities of three months or less. Bank overdrafts, if any, are shown as borrowings in current liabilities in the statement of financial position.

		Time deposits and other cash investments with original maturities of more than three months are excluded from cash and cash equivalents.

	2.20	Government grants

		Government grants are recognised when the Group fulfils the conditions attached to them and there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received. When the government grant is in the form of monetary assets, it is measured at the actual amount received. When the grant is provided based on a pre-determined rate, it is measured at the fair value of the amount receivable.

		Asset-related government grants are recognised when the government document designates that the government grants are used for constructing or forming long-term assets. If the government document is inexplicit, the Company should make a judgement based on the basic conditions to obtain the government grants, and recognises them as asset-related government grants if the conditions are constructing or forming long-term assets. Otherwise, the government grants should be income-related.

		Asset-related government grants are recognised as deferred income and are amortised evenly in profit or loss over the useful lives of the related assets.

		Income-related government grants that are used to compensate subsequent related expenses or losses of the Group are recognised as deferred income and recorded in profit or loss when the related expenses or losses are incurred. When the grant used to compensate expenses or losses that were already incurred, they are directly recognised in profit or loss for the current period.

	2.21	Trade and notes payables and other payables

		Trade and notes payables and other payables are mainly obligations to pay for goods, equipment or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers and service providers. These payables are classified as current liabilities if they are due within one year or less (or in the normal operating cycle of the business if longer).

	2.22	Employee benefits

		Employee benefits mainly include salaries, bonuses, allowances and subsidies, pension insurance, social insurance and housing funds, labour union fees, employees' education fees and other expenses related to the employees for their services. The Group recognises employee benefits as liabilities during the accounting period when employees rendered the services and allocates the related cost of assets and expenses based on different beneficiaries.

		(a)	Bonus plans

			The expected cost of bonus plan is recognised as a liability when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of services rendered by employees and a reliable estimate of the obligation can be made.

		(b)	Retirement benefit obligations

			The Group primarily pays contributions on a monthly basis to participate in a pension plan organised by relevant municipal and provincial governments in the PRC. In 2013, the Group made monthly contributions at the rate of 20% (2012: 20%) of the qualified employees' basic salaries. The municipal and provincial governments undertake to assume the retirement benefit obligations of all existing and future retired employees payable under these plans. The Group has no legal or constructive obligations for further contributions if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefit relating to their current and past services.

		(c)	Other social insurance and housing funds

			The Group provides other social insurance and housing funds to the qualified employees in the PRC based on certain percentages of their salaries. These percentages are not to exceed the upper limits of the percentages prescribed by the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security of the PRC. These benefits are paid to social security organisations and the amounts are expensed as incurred. The Group has no legal or constructive obligations for further contributions if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefit relating to their current and past services.

		(d)	Termination benefits and early retirement benefits

			Termination and early retirement benefits are payable when employment is terminated by the Group before the normal retirement date, or whenever an employee accepts voluntary redundancy and/or early retirement in exchange for these benefits. The Group recognises termination and early retirement benefits when it is demonstrably committed to either: terminating the employment of current employees according to a detailed formal plan without possibility of withdrawal; or providing termination benefits as a result of an offer made to encourage voluntary redundancy and/or early retirement. The specific terms vary among the terminated and early retired employees depending on various factors including position, length of service and district of the employees concerned. Benefits falling due for more than 12 months after the end of the reporting period are discounted to their present values.

	2.23	Current and deferred income tax

		The income tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred income tax. Share of income tax expense of joint ventures and associates are included in "share of profits of joint ventures and associates". Income tax expense is recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.

		The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period in the countries where the Company and its subsidiaries operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.

		Deferred income tax is recognised using the liability method on temporary differences arising between tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. However, deferred tax liabilities are not recognised if they arise from the initial recognition of goodwill; the deferred income tax is not accounted for if it arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled.

		Deferred income tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised.

		Deferred income tax is provided on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates, except for deferred income tax liability where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by the Group and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

		Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when the deferred income tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities where there is an intention to settle the balances on a net basis.

	2.24	Perpetual securities

		Perpetual securities are classified as equity if it is non-redeemable, or redeemable only at the issuer's option, and any interests and distributions are discretionary. Interests and distributions on perpetual securities classified as equity are recognised as distributions within equity.

	2.25	Revenue recognition

		The Group recognises revenue when the amount of revenue can be reliably measured, it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the Group and when specific criteria have been met for each of the Group's activities (see descriptions below).

		(a)	Sales of goods

			Revenue from the sales of goods is recognised when the Group has already transferred the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods to the buyers, the Group has retained neither continuing managerial involvement nor control over the goods, it is probable that the economic benefits related to the transaction will flow into the Group, and the revenue and related costs incurred can be measured reliably.

			If the Group is acting solely as an agent, amounts billed to customers are offset against the relevant costs, and the related revenue is reported on a net basis.

		(b)	Rendering of services

			The Group provides machinery processing, transportation and packaging services and other services to third party customers. These services are recognised in the period when the related services are provided.

	2.26	Interest income

		Interest income is recognised using the effective interest method. When a loan or receivable is impaired, the Group reduces the carrying amount to its recoverable amount, being the estimated future cash flows discounted at the original effective interest rate of the instrument, and continues unwinding the discount as interest income. Interest income on impaired loans and receivables is recognised using the original effective interest rate.

	2.27	Dividend income

		Dividend income is recognised when the right to receive payment is established.

	2.28	Leases

		The determination of whether an arrangement is, or contains, a lease is based on the substance of the arrangement at the inception date. The arrangement is assessed for whether fulfilment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets or the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset or assets, even if that right is not explicitly specified in an arrangement.

		Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.

		The Group leases certain leasehold lands. Leasehold lands where the Group has substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. Finance leases are capitalised at the lease's commencement at the lower of the fair value of the leased leasehold land and the present value of the minimum lease payments.

		Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance charges. The corresponding rental obligations, net of finance charges, are included in other long-term payables. The interest element of the finance costs is charged to profit or loss over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period. The property, plant and equipment acquired under finance leases are depreciated over the shorter of the useful life of the asset and the lease term.

	2.29	Borrowing costs

		General and specific borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale.

		Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation.

		All other borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred. Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that an entity incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds.

	2.30	Dividend distribution

		Dividend distribution to the Company's shareholders is recognised as a liability in the Group's and Company's financial statements in the period in which the dividends are approved by the Company's shareholders.

	2.31	Provisions

		Provisions for environmental restoration, restructuring costs and legal claims are recognised when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events; it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation; and the amount can be reliably estimated. Restructuring provisions comprise lease termination penalties and employee termination payments. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses.

		Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlement is determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole. A provision is recognised even if the likelihood of an outflow with respect to any one item included in the same class of obligations may be small.

		Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation using a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the obligation. The increase in the provision due to passage of time is recognised as interest expense.

3.	FINANCIAL AND CAPITAL RISKS MANAGEMENT

	3.1	Financial risk management

		The Group's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks, including market risk (including foreign currency risk, cash flow and fair value interest rate risk and commodity price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group's overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise the potential adverse effects on the Group's financial performance.

		Risk management is carried out by the treasury management department (the "Group Treasury") under policies approved by the board of directors of the Company. The Group Treasury identifies, evaluates and hedges financial risks through close co-operation with the Group's operating units.

		(a)	Market risk

			(i)	Foreign currency risk

				Foreign currency risk primarily arises from certain significant foreign currency deposits, receivable from disposal of Chalco Iron Ore Holdings Limited ("Chalco Iron Ore") and short-term and long-term loans denominated in United dollars ("USD"), Australian dollars ("AUD"), Euro ("EUR"), Japanese Yen ("JPY") and Hong Kong dollars ("HKD"). Related exposures are disclosed in Notes 14, 18, 19 and 22 to the financial statements, respectively. The Group Treasury closely monitors the international foreign currency market on the change of exchange rates and takes these into consideration when investing in foreign currency deposits and borrowing loans. As at December 31, 2013, the Group only has significant exposure to USD.

				As at December 31, 2013, if RMB had strengthened/weakened by 5% against USD with all other variables held constant, net profit for the year would have been approximately RMB224 million (2012: RMB205 million) higher/lower, mainly as a result of foreign exchange gains/losses arising from translation of USD-denominated borrowings. Profit was more sensitive to the fluctuation in the RMB/USD exchange rates in 2013 than in 2012, mainly due to the increase in the USD denominated borrowings.

				As the assets and liabilities denominated in other foreign currencies other than USD were minimal relative to the total assets and liabilities of the Group, the directors of the Company are of the opinion that the Group was not exposed to any significant foreign currency risk arising from these foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities as at December 31, 2013 and 2012.

			(ii)	Cash flow and fair value interest rate risk

				As the Group has no significant interest bearing assets except for bank deposits (Note 19) and receivables arising from disposal of discontinued operation and Chalco Iron Ore (Notes 14 and 18), the Group's income and operating cash flows are substantially independent of changes in market interest rates.

				Most of the bank deposits are maintained in savings and time deposit accounts in the PRC. The interest rates are regulated by the People's Bank of China and the Group Treasury closely monitors the fluctuation on such rates periodically. The interest rates of receivables from disposal of discontinued operation and Chalco Iron Ore are interest rate of one year bank loan determined by Bank of China at payment date and LIBOR plus 0.9%, respectively. As the interest rates applied to the deposits and receivable from disposal of discontinued operation and Chalco Iron Ore were relatively low, the directors of the Company are of the opinion that the Group was not exposed to any significant interest rate risk for its financial assets held as at December 31, 2013 and 2012.

				The interest rate risk of the Group primarily arises from interest bearing loans. Loans borrowed at floating interest rates expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk. The exposures to these risks are disclosed separately in Note 22. The Group enters into debt obligations to support general corporate purposes including capital expenditures and working capital needs. The Group Treasury closely monitors market interest rates and maintains a balance between variable rate and fixed rate borrowings in order to reduce the exposures to the interest rate risk described above.

				As at December 31, 2013, if interest rates had been 100 basis points (December 31, 2012: 100 basis points) higher/lower with all other variables held constant, net profit for the year would have been RMB618 million lower/higher (2012: RMB496 million), respectively mainly as a result of the higher/lower interest expense on floating rate borrowings.

				The fair value interest rate risk of the Group mainly arises from long-term bonds, medium-term notes and short-term bonds issued at fixed rates. As the fluctuation of comparable interest rates of corporate bonds with similar terms was relatively low, the directors of the Company are of the opinion that the Group is not exposed to any significant fair value interest rate risk for its fixed interest rate borrowings held as at December 31, 2013 and 2012.

			(iii)	Commodity price risk

				The Group uses futures and option contracts to reduce its exposure to fluctuations in the price of primary aluminum. The Group has policy in place which limits the total quantity of primary aluminum related to these futures and option contracts to 30% of the Group's annual production or 50% of the Group's committed purchases or sales of the Group's trading business.

				The Group uses mainly futures contracts and option contracts traded on the Shanghai Futures Exchange and London Metal Exchange ("LME") to hedge against fluctuations in primary aluminum prices. As at December 31, 2013, the fair values of the outstanding futures contracts amounting to RMB23 thousand (December 31, 2012: RMB5,593 thousand) and RMB207 thousand (December 31, 2012: RMB12,662 thousand) are recognised in financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss respectively. As at December 31, 2013, the fair value of outstanding options contracts amounting to RMB1,740 thousand (December 31, 2012: nil) was recognised in financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss.

				A summary of futures contracts held as at December 31, 2013 is as follows:

					As at December 31, 2013

				As at December 31, 2013, if the commodity futures prices had increased/decreased by 3% (December 31, 2012: 3%) and all other variables held constant, profit for the year would have changed by the amounts shown below:

	2013	2012


Primary aluminum	Decrease/increase	Increase/decrease
	RMB0.337 million	RMB167 million
Primary copper	Decrease/increase	Increase/decrease
	RMB10.611 million	RMB12 million

	RMB0.026 million	RMB0.5 million
Primary silver	Increase/decrease	N/A
	RMB0.363 million
Primary coal	Decrease/increase	N/A
	RMB0.392 million

		(b)	Credit risk

			Credit risk arises from bank balances, trade and notes receivables, other receivables as well as credit exposures of customers, including outstanding receivables and committed transactions. The Company also provided financial guarantees to certain subsidiaries. The carrying amounts of these receivables and amounts of respective financial guarantees included in Notes 17, 18, 19 and 26 represent the Group's maximum exposure to credit risk in relation to its financial assets and guarantees.

			The Group maintains substantially all of its bank balances and cash in several major state-owned banks in the PRC. With strong support from the PRC government to these state-owned banks, the directors of the Company are of the opinion that there is no significant credit risk on such assets being exposed to losses.

			With regard to receivables, the marketing department assesses the credit quality of the customers and its related parties, taking into account their financial positions, past experience and other factors. The Group performs periodic credit evaluations of its customers and believes that adequate provision for impairment of receivables has been made in the financial statements. Management does not expect any further losses from non-performance by these counterparties. The Group holds collateral for some entrusted loans. During the year, the Group has the receivables from Chinalco and its subsidiaries arising from the disposal of the equity interests and assets of Aluminum Fabrication Segment, the disposal of alumina production line of Guizhou branch and the disposal of the equity interests of Chalco Iron Ore. Chinalco and its subsidiaries have paid certain receivables in accordance with the payment terms. Therefore, the Group believes that there is no material credit risk related to the above-mentioned receivables.

			During the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, no revenue derived from an individual customer exceeded 10% of the Group's total revenue, and thus, the directors of the Company are of the opinion that the Group was not exposed to any significant concentration of credit risk as at December 31, 2013 and 2012.

		(c)	Liquidity risk

			Cash flow forecast is performed in the operating entities of the Group and aggregated by Group Treasury. The Group Treasury monitors rolling forecasts of the Group's liquidity requirements to ensure it has sufficient cash to meet operational needs while maintaining sufficient headroom on its undrawn committed borrowing facilities at all times so that the Group does not breach borrowing limits or covenants (where applicable) on any of its borrowing facilities. Such forecast takes into consideration of the Group's debt financing plans, covenant compliance, compliance with internal balance sheet ratio targets and, if applicable, external regulatory or legal requirements, for example, currency restrictions.

			As at December 31, 2013, the Group had total banking facilities of approximately RMB136,596 million of which amounts totalling RMB69,801 million have been utilised as at December 31, 2013. Banking facilities of approximately RMB93,317 million will be subject to renewal during the next 12 months. The directors of the Company are confident that such banking facilities can be renewed upon expiration based on their past experience and good credit standing.

			In addition, as at December 31, 2013, the Group had credit facilities through its primary aluminum futures agent at LME amounting to USD106 million (equivalent to RMB646.27 million) (December 31, 2012: USD94 million (equivalent to RMB590.84 million)), of which USD12.79 million (equivalent to RMB77.98 million) (December 31, 2012: USD1.03 million (equivalent to RMB6.47 million)) has been utilised. The futures agent has the right to adjust the related credit facilities.

			Management also monitors rolling forecasts of the Group's liquidity reserve on the basis of expected cash flows.

			The table below analyses the maturity profile of the Group's and the Company's financial liabilities as at the end of the reporting period. The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows.

			Management has assessed that the fair values of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and time deposits, trade and notes receivables, financial assets included in other current assets, entrusted loans, trade and notes payables, financial liabilities included in other payables and accrued expenses, short-term and current portion of interest bearing loans and borrowings, interests payable, bond issuance cost payable and current portion of long-term payables approximate to their carrying amounts largely due to the short term maturities of these instruments.

			The fair values of the financial assets and liabilities are included at the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values:

			The fair values of the financial assets included in other non-current assets and financial liabilities included in other non-current liabilities have been calculated by discounting the expected future cash flows using rates currently available for instruments on with similar terms, credit risk and remaining maturities.

			The fair value of long-term interest bearing loans and borrowings have been calculated by discounting the expected future cash flows using rates currently available for instruments on similar terms, credit risk and remaining maturities.

			The Group's own non-performance risk for financial liabilities included in other non-current liabilities and long-term interest-bearing loans and borrowings as at December 31, 2013 was assessed to be insignificant.

	3.3	Capital risk management

		The Group's capital management objectives are to safeguard the Group's ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders, and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.

		In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debts.

		Consistent with other entities in the industry, the Group monitors capital on the basis of its gearing ratio. This ratio is calculated as net debt divided by total capital. Net debt is calculated as total borrowings and other liabilities (including borrowings, other non-current liabilities, trade and notes payables, other payables and accrued expenses and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, as shown in the consolidated statement of financial position) less restricted cash, time deposits and cash and cash equivalents. Total capital is calculated as equity, as shown in the consolidated statement of financial position, plus net debt less non-controlling interests.

		During 2013 and 2012, the change in sales price of the Group's primary products has adversely impacted on the profitability and net operating cash flows of the Group. The Group has entered into additional bank borrowings in order to ensure sufficient operating cash flows. The gearing ratio as at December 31, 2013 is as follows:

	2013	2012


Total borrowings and other liabilities	144,591,256	121,184,673
Less: Restricted cash, time deposits and cash and
cash equivalents	(12,425,853)	(10,191,608)


Net debt	132,165,403	110,993,065


Total equity	53,702,119	53,771,150
Add: Net debt	132,165,403	110,993,065
Less: Non-controlling interests	(9,344,394)	(9,963,387)


Total capital attributable to owners of the parent	176,523,128	154,800,828


Gearing ratio	75%	72%

		The increase in gearing ratio as at December 31, 2013 mainly resulted from additional bank borrowings and increase in trade and notes payables in order to ensure sufficient operating cash flows.

4.	SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS

	The preparation of the Group's consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the accompanying disclosures, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. Uncertainty about these judgements, assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities affected in future periods.

	Judgements

	In the process of applying the Group's accounting policies and preparing the Group's consolidated financial statements, management has made the following judgements, apart from those involving estimates, which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the consolidated financial statements.

	(a)	Going concern

		As set out in Note 2.1, the ability of the Group and the Company to continue operations is dependent upon obtaining the necessary borrowings and generating cash inflows from operating activities in order to generate sufficient cash flows to meet its liabilities as they fall due. In the event the Group and the Company are unable to obtain adequate funding, there is uncertainty as to whether the Group and the Company will be able to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the carrying values and classifications of assets and liabilities that would be necessary should the Group and the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

	(b)	Loss of control of a subsidiary in multiple arrangements

		A parent might lose control of a subsidiary in multiple arrangements (transactions). However, sometimes circumstances indicate that the multiple arrangements should be accounted for as a single transaction. In determining whether to account for the arrangements as a single transaction, a parent shall consider all the terms and conditions of the arrangements and their economic effects. One or more of the following indicate that the parent should account for the multiple arrangements as a single transaction: (a) they are entered into at the same time or in contemplation of each other; (b) they form a single transaction designed to achieve an overall commercial effect; (c) the occurrence of one arrangement is dependent on the occurrence of at least one other arrangement; (d) one arrangement considered on its own is not economically justified, but it is economically justified when considered together with other arrangements. As disclosed in Note 39(a), the Company lost its control over Jiaozuo Wanfang Aluminum Company Limited ("Jiaozuo Wanfang") after its equity interest in Jiaozuo Wanfang was diluted. The Group believed that the above transaction accompanying the disposal of 4.998% equity interest in Jiaozuo Wanfang by the Company in 2010 was accounted for as a single transaction.

	Estimates and assumptions

	The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, are described below. The Group's assumptions and estimates are based on parameters available when the consolidated financial statements were prepared. Existing circumstances and assumptions about future developments, however, may change due to market changes or circumstances arising beyond the control of the Group. Such changes are reflected in the assumptions when they occur.

	(a)	Property, plant and equipment and intangible assets - recoverable amount

		In accordance with the Group's accounting policy, each asset or cash-generating unit is evaluated every reporting period to determine whether there are any indications of impairment. If any such indication exists, an estimate of recoverable amount is performed and an impairment loss is recognised to the extent that the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating group of assets is measured at the higher of fair value less costs of disposal and value in use.

		Fair value is determined as the amount that would be obtained from the sale of the asset in an arm's length transaction between knowledgeable and willing parties and is generally determined as the present value of the estimated future cash flows expected to arise from the continued use of the asset, and its eventual disposal.

		Value in use is also generally determined as the present value of the estimated future cash flows of those expected to arise from the continued use of the asset in its present form and its eventual disposal. Present values are determined using a risk-adjusted pre-tax discount rate appropriate to the risks inherent in the asset. Future cash flow estimates are based on expected production and sales volumes, commodity prices (considering current and historical prices, price trends and related factors) and operating costs. This policy requires management to make these estimates and assumptions which are subject to risk and uncertainty; hence there is a possibility that changes in circumstances will alter these projections, which may impact on the recoverable amount of the assets. In such circumstances, some or all of the carrying value of the assets may be impaired and the impairment would be charged against profit or loss.

	(b)	Property, plant and equipment and intangible assets - estimated useful lives and residual values

		The Group's management determines the estimated useful lives and residual values (if applicable) and consequently related depreciation/amortisation charges for its property, plant and equipment and intangible assets. These estimates are based on the historical experience of the actual useful lives of property, plant and equipment of similar nature and functions, or based on value-in-use calculations or market valuations according to the estimated periods that the Group intends to derive future economic benefits from the use of intangible assets. Management will increase the depreciation/amortisation charge where useful lives are less than previously estimated lives, and it will write off or write down technically obsolete or non-strategic assets that have been abandoned or sold.

		Actual economic lives may differ from estimated useful lives and actual residual values may differ from estimated residual values. Periodic review could result in a change in depreciable lives and residual values and therefore in depreciation/amortisation expense in future periods.

	(c)	Estimated impairment of trade and other receivables and inventories

		A provision for impairment of trade and other receivables is established when there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables. Significant financial difficulties of the debtor, probability that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or financial reorganisation, and default or delinquency in payments are considered indicators that a trade receivable is impaired. The amount of the provision is the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate. Cash flows relating to trade and other receivables are discounted if the effect of discounting is material. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced through the use of an allowance account and the amount of the loss is recognised in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. When a trade and other receivable is uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account for trade and other receivables. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are recognised as income in profit or loss. The impairment is subject to management's assessment at the end of the reporting period, and hence, the provision amount is subject to uncertainty.

		In accordance with the Group's accounting policy, the Group's management tests whether inventories suffered any impairment based on estimates of the net realisable value of the inventories. For different types of inventories, it requires the exercise of accounting estimates on selling price, costs of conversion, selling expenses and related tax expense to calculate their net realisable value. For inventories held for executed sales contracts, the management estimates the net realisable value based on the contracted price; for other inventories, the management estimates realisable future price based on the actual prices during the period from the end of the reporting period to the date that these financial statements were approved for issue by the board of directors of the Company and takes into account the nature and balance of inventories and future estimated price trends. For raw materials and work-in-progress, the management has established a model in estimating the net realisable value at which the inventories can be realised in the normal course of business after considering the Group's manufacturing cycles, production capacity and forecasts, estimated future conversion costs and selling prices. The management also takes into account the price or cost fluctuations and other related matters occurring after the end of the reporting period which reflect conditions that existed at the end of the reporting period.

		It is reasonably possible that if there is a significant change in circumstances including the Group's business and the external environment, outcomes within the next financial year would be significantly affected.

	(d)	Coal reserve estimates and units-of-production amortisation for coal mining rights

		Engineering estimates of the Group's coal reserves are inherently imprecise and represent only approximate amounts because of the subjective judgements involved in developing such information. There are authoritative guidelines regarding the engineering criteria that have to be met before estimated coal reserves can be designated as "proved" and "probable". Proved and probable coal reserve estimates are updated on a regular basis and have taken into account recent production and technical information about each mine. In addition, as prices and cost levels change from year to year, the estimate of proved and probable coal reserves also changes.

	(e)	Income tax

		The Group estimates its income tax provision and deferred income taxation in accordance with the prevailing tax rules and regulations, taking into account any special approvals obtained from relevant tax authorities and any preferential tax treatment to which it is entitled in each location or jurisdiction in which the Group operates. There are many transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of business. The Group recognises liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues based on estimates of whether additional taxes will be due. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact on the income tax and deferred income tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made.

		Deferred tax assets are recognised for unused tax losses and other temporary differences, such as provision for impairment of receivables, inventories and property, plant and equipment and accruals of expenses not yet deductible for tax purposes, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the losses can be utilised or other temporary difference could be recovered. Significant management judgement is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognised, based upon the likely timing and level of future taxable profits together with future tax planning strategies. The carrying value of the Group's deferred tax assets at December 31, 2013 was RMB1,892 million (December 31, 2012: RMB2,261 million). The amount of unrecognised tax losses at December 31, 2013 was RMB16,709 million (December 31, 2012: RMB9,686 million). Further details are contained in Note 13 to the financial statements.

		An entity shall recognise a deferred tax liability for all taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures, except to the extent that both of the following conditions are satisfied:

		(a)	the parent, investor or joint venturer is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference; and

		(b)	it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

		The Group believes the taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures satisfy the above criteria and therefore, relevant deferred tax liabilities was recognized as disclosed in Note 13 to the financial statements.

		The Group believes it has recorded adequate current tax provision and deferred income taxes based on the prevailing tax rules and regulations and its current best estimates and assumptions. In the event that future tax rules and regulations or related circumstances change, adjustments to current and deferred income taxation may be necessary which would impact on the Group's results or financial position.

	(f)	Goodwill - recoverable amount

		In accordance with the Group's accounting policy, goodwill is allocated to the Group's operating segments as it represents the lowest level within the Group at which the goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes and is tested for impairment annually by preparing a formal estimate of the recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is estimated as the value in use of the operating segment. Similar considerations to those described above in respect of assessing the recoverable amount of property, plant and equipment also apply to goodwill.

5.	REVENUE AND SEGMENT INFORMATION

	(a)	Revenue

		Revenue from continuing operations recognised during the year is as follows:

			Group

	2013	2012
		(Restated)


Sales of goods (net of value-added tax)	166,795,663	141,675,472
Other revenue	2,635,572	1,761,523


	169,431,235	143,436,995

		Other revenue from continuing operations primarily includes revenue from the sales of scrap and other materials, the supply of gas, heat and water and the provision of machinery processing, transportation and packaging and other services.

	(b)	Segment information

		The presidents of the Company (formerly "the Company's Executive Committee") have been identified as the chief operating decision-makers. They are responsible for the review of the internal reports in order to allocate resources to operating segments and assess their performance.

		The presidents monitor the business from a product perspective comprising alumina, primary aluminum and aluminum fabrication for the Group's manufacturing business, which is identified as separate reportable operating segment. In addition, the Group's trading business is identified as a separate reportable operating segment. The Group's operating segments also include corporate and other operating activities.

		However, as disclosed in Notes 2.1 and 6 to the financial statements, the Group has disposed of its equity interests and assets in the aluminum fabrication segment on June 27, 2013. Accordingly, the aluminum fabrication segment has been classified as a discontinued operation and was excluded from the segment information for the year ended December 31, 2013.

		In addition, as disclosed in Note 38(a) to the financial statements, the Company acquired an aggregate of 70.82% equity interest in Ningxia Energy on January 23, 2013. Ningxia Energy is principally engaged in the research and development, production and operation of energy products. Its activities mainly include coal mining, electricity generation by thermal power, wind power and solar power, new energy related equipment manufacturing business, and construction and operation of coal aluminum integration. After the acquisition of Ningxia Energy, the presidents have identified Ningxia Energy and other energy related operations, formerly included in corporate and other operating segments, as the energy segment in accordance with IFRS 8 Operating Segments. As a result of the above changes in segment structure, the comparative figures of segment information were restated accordingly.

		The presidents assess the performance of operating segments based on profit or loss before income tax in related periods. Unless otherwise stated below, the manner of assessment used by the presidents is consistent with that applied in these consolidated financial statements. Management has determined the operating segments based on the reports reviewed by the presidents that are used to make strategic decisions.

		The Group's five reportable operating segments are summarised as follows:

		*	The alumina segment, which consists of the mining and purchasing of bauxite and other raw materials, the refining of bauxite into alumina, and the sale of alumina both internally to the Group's aluminum plants and externally to customers outside the Group. This segment also includes the production and sale of chemical alumina and metal gallium.

		*	The primary aluminum segment, which consists of the procurement of alumina and other raw materials, supplemental materials and electricity power, the smelting of alumina to produce primary aluminum which is sold to the Group's internal aluminum fabrication plants and external customers. This segment also includes the production and sale of carbon products and aluminum alloy and other aluminum products.

		*	The energy segment, which consists of the research and development, production and operation of energy products, is mainly engaged in coal mining, electricity generation by thermal power, wind power and solar power, new energy related equipment manufacturing business, and the construction and operation of coal aluminum integration. Sales of coals are mainly to the Group's internal and external coal consuming customers, electricity used within the Group and by regional power grid corporations.

		*	The trading segment, which is engaged in the trading of alumina, primary aluminum, aluminum fabrication products, other non-ferrous metal products, coal products and raw materials and supplemental materials to internal manufacturing plants and external customers in the PRC. The products are sourced from fellow subsidiaries and international and domestic suppliers of the Group. Sales of products manufactured by the Group's manufacturing business are included in the total revenue of the trading segment and are eliminated with the segment revenue of the respective segments which supplied the products to the trading segment.

		*	Corporate and other operating segments, which mainly include management of corporate, research and development activities and others.

		Prepaid current income tax and deferred tax assets are excluded from segment assets, and income tax payable and deferred tax liabilities are excluded from segment liabilities. All sales among the operating segments were conducted on terms mutually agreed among group companies, and have been eliminated upon consolidation.

		For the year ended December 31, 2013, revenues from continuing operations of approximately RMB30,255 million (2012 from continuing operations: RMB22,541 million (restated)) are derived from entities directly or indirectly owned or controlled by the PRC government including Chinalco. These revenues are mainly attributable to the alumina, primary aluminum and trading segments. There was no other individual customer from whom the Group has derived revenue of more than 10% of the Group's revenue during the year ended December 31, 2013 (2012: none).

6.	DISCONTINUED OPERATION

	On June 9, 2013, the Company entered into an equity interest transfer agreement ("Aluminum Fabrication Interests Transfer Agreement") with Chinalco, pursuant to which the Company transferred to Chinalco its equity interests in (a) six subsidiaries: (1) 90.03% equity interest in Chalco Henan Aluminum Co., Ltd. ()("Henan Aluminum"); (2) 60% equity interest in Chalco Southwest Aluminum Co., Ltd. (); (3) 100% equity interest in Chalco Southwest Aluminum Cold Rolling Co., Ltd. (); (4) 56.86% equity interest in Huaxi Aluminum Co., Ltd. (); (5) 93.30% equity interest in Chalco Ruimin Co., Ltd. (); and (6) 100% equity interest in Chalco Qingdao Light Metal Co., Ltd. () ("Qingdao Light Metal") (collectively known as "Aluminum Fabrication Subsidiaries"); (b) a joint venture: 50% equity interest in Chalco Sapa Aluminum Products (Chongqing) Co., Ltd. () ("Chalco Sapa"); and (c) an associate: 40% equity interest in Guizhou Chalco Aluminum Co., Ltd. () ("Guizhou Chalco"). In addition, the Company entered into the Aluminum Fabrication Assets Transfer Agreement with Northwest Aluminum Fabrication Plant, a subsidiary of Chinalco, on June 6, 2013, pursuant to which the Company transferred the net assets in Northwest Aluminum Fabrication Branch of the Company () ("Aluminum Fabrication Branch") to Northwest Aluminum Fabrication Plant. The above transactions were completed on June 27, 2013.

	The Aluminum Fabrication Subsidiaries and the Aluminum Fabrication Branch form the Aluminum Fabrication Segment of the Group. Pursuant to the Aluminum Fabrication Interests Transfer Agreement and the Aluminum Fabrication Assets Transfer Agreement, the consideration thereof was determined with reference to independent valuation undertaken by professional valuers recognised in the PRC of the net assets of the respective entities/branch as at December 31, 2012, adjusted to give effect to the changes in net assets value from the valuation date (December 31, 2012) to the disposal date.

	As an adhering condition to the disposal of certain of the Aluminum Fabrication Subsidiaries, as at December 31, 2012, the Company's entrusted loans to Henan Aluminum and Qingdao Light Metal were transferred to Chinalco with a nominal principal amount up to RMB3 billion ("Transferred Loan to Chinalco"), and the appraisal value of such loans was taken as the basis for the consideration.

	After giving adjustment to the change in the net assets value from the valuation date (December 31, 2012) to the disposal date regarding the Aluminum Fabrication Subsidiaries and the Aluminum Fabrication Branch, the aggregate consideration for the disposal of the Aluminum Fabrication Segment and the Transferred Loan to Chinalco was finalised at RMB6,314.5 million. The disposal of the Aluminum Fabrication Segment and the Transferred Loan to Chinalco shall be considered in their totality.

	The disposal of the Aluminum Fabrication Segment can optimise the asset structure, lower the debt to asset ratio, improve the debt portfolio of the Group, increase the operating cash flows of the Group and strengthen the re-financing ability of the Group, which is beneficial for the Group to focus on the development of quality resources and develop its business relating to the quality resources, so as to move towards the forefront of the industry chain and the high-end of the value chain.

	Since the Aluminum Fabrication Segment was a component of the Group's business, representing a separate major line of business with separately identifiable operations and cash flows, it is classified as a discontinued operation. Accordingly, the results of the Aluminum Fabrication Segment were separately reported as a "discontinued operation" in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the year ended December 31, 2013. In addition, the gain recognised on the disposal of the Aluminum Fabrication Segment was also included in the results of the discontinued operation.

	Details of the net assets of the discontinued operation of as at June 27, 2013 are as follows:

	As at December 31, 2013, the Group has pledged intangible assets at a net book value amounting to RMB799 million (December 31, 2012: nil) for bank and other borrowings as set out in Note 26 to the financial statements.

	Impairment tests for goodwill

	The lowest level within the Group at which goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes is the operating segment level. Therefore, goodwill is allocated to the Group's CGUs and groups of CGUs according to operating segments. A summary of goodwill allocated to each segment is presented below:

		Group

December 31, 2013

December 31, 2012

		Primary		Primary
	Alumina	aluminum	Alumina	aluminum


Qinghai Branch	-	217,267	-	217,267
Guangxi Branch	189,419	-	189,419	-
Lanzhou Branch	-	1,924,259	-	1,924,259
PT. Nusapati Prima ("PTNP")	14,008	-	-	-
Jiaozuo Wanfang Power Co., Ltd.
("Wanfang Power") (Note)	-	-	-	31,790


	203,427	2,141,526	189,419	2,173,316

	Note:	As disclosed in Note 10(iii), in April 2013, Jiaozuo Wanfang, a former subsidiary of the Company, issued an additional 169,266,914 A shares through private offering to independent third parties. Accordingly, the Company's equity interest in Jiaozuo Wanfang was decreased from 24.002% to 17.750%. The Company lost its control over Jiaozuo Wanfang after the dilution of its equity interest in Jiaozuo Wanfang on April 19, 2013.

		Goodwill of RMB31.8 million was recognised in 2008 when Jiaozuo Wanfang acquired Wanfang Power and accounted for it as a subsidiary since then. The Company deconsolidated Wanfang Power since the Company lost its control over Jiaozuo Wanfang on April 19, 2013. Therefore, the goodwill generated from the acquisition of Wanfang Power was not included in the consolidated financial statements since April 19, 2013.

	The recoverable amount of a CGU is determined based on value-in-use calculations. These calculations use pre-tax cash flow projections based on financial budgets approved by management covering a 5-year period. Cash flows beyond the 5-year period are extrapolated using the estimated growth rate of 2% not exceeding the long-term average growth rate for the businesses in which the CGU operates. Other key assumptions applied in the impairment tests include the expected product price, demand for the products, product costs and related expenses. Management determined that these key assumptions were based on past performance and their expectations on market development. Furthermore, the Group adopts a pre-tax rate of 12.62% (2012: 12.62%) that reflects specific risks related to CGUs and groups of CGUs as the discount rate. The assumptions above are used in analysing recoverable amounts of CGUs and groups of CGUs within operating segments.

	The directors of the Company are of the view that, based on its assessment, there was no impairment of goodwill as at December 31, 2013 (December 31, 2012: Nil).

	A one percentage point increase or decrease in the discount rate, with all other variables held constant, would result in a decrease or increase in the recoverable amount of 8.50% and 10.28%, respectively. A one percent increase or decrease in estimated growth, with all other variables held constant, would result in an increase or decrease in the recoverable amount of 7.55% and 2.44%, respectively.

	For the year ended December 31, 2013, depreciation expenses recognised in profit or loss from continuing operations are analysed as follows:

		Group

	2013	2012
		(Restated)


Cost of sales (Note 27)	5,632,223	4,406,628
General and administrative expenses (Note 28(b))	159,030	150,635
Selling and distribution expenses (Note 28(a))	33,457	30,395


	5,824,710	4,587,658

	As at December 31, 2013, the Group was in the process of applying for the ownership certificates of buildings with a net book value of RMB5,698 million (December 31, 2012: RMB6,890 million).

	As at December 31, 2013, buildings with a net book value of RMB4.6 million as at December 31, 2013 (December 31, 2012: RMB5 million) are situated in Hong Kong.

	For the year ended December 31, 2013, interest expenses from continuing operations of RMB635 million (2012 from continuing operations: RMB530 million (restated)) arising from borrowings attributable to the construction of property, plant and equipment during the year were capitalised at an annual rate of 4.05% to 6.25% (2012: 5.05% to 6.87% (restated)) (Note 30), and were included in "additions" to property, plant and equipment.

	As at December 31, 2013, the Group has pledged property, plant and equipment at a net book value amounting to RMB7,292 million (December 31, 2012: RMB2,243 million) for bank and other borrowings as set out in Note 26 to the financial statements.

	Impairment test for property, plant and equipment

	When any indicators of impairment are identified, property, plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment based on each CGU. The CGU is an individual plant or entity. The carrying value of these individual plants or entities was compared to the recoverable amount of the CGUs, which was based predominantly on value-in-use. Value-in-use calculations use pre-tax cash flow projections based on financial budgets approved by management covering a 5-year period. Cash flows beyond the 5-year period are extrapolated using the estimated growth rates not exceeding the long-term average growth rates for the businesses in which the CGU operates. Other key assumptions applied in the impairment tests include the expected product price, demand for the products, product cost and related expenses. Management determined that these key assumptions were based on past performance and their expectations on market development. Further, the Group adopts a pre-tax rate of 10.19% (2012: 10.19%) that reflects specific risks related to CGUs and groups of CGUs as discount rates. The assumptions above are used in analysing the recoverable amounts of CGUs and groups of CGUs within operating segments.

	In 2013, an impairment loss of RMB135 million was provided for certain equipment with the recoverable amount of RMB1,785 million of Zunyi Aluminum Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of the Group. The recoverable amount is determined based on the value-in-use of these property, plant and equipment which was determined by the impairment testing result using the technique in the above paragraph.

	In 2013, impairment losses of RMB216 million were provided for certain idle property, plant and equipment of the Group which have no resell value. The impairment losses were provided to write off the carrying amount of the idle property, plant and equipment.

	A one percentage point increase or decrease in the discount rate, with all other variables held constant, would result in a 3.38% and 4.54% decrease or increase in the estimated recoverable amount of property, plant and equipment respectively. A one percent increase or decrease in estimated growth, with all other variables held constant, would result in a 1.23% and 1.19% increase or decrease in the recoverable amount of property, plant and equipment respectively.

	Where it is considered more likely than not that an individual CGU will be disposed of within the near-term rather than continue to be held and operated by the Group, the recoverable amount to be completed is based on the estimated net disposal value of the CGU less costs of disposal rather than by reference to its value-in-use.

	(i)	In February, July, October and November 2013, the Company has made capital injections of RMB100 million, RMB138 million, RMB73.5 million and RMB82.5 million respectively in cash in Baotou Aluminum.

		In April 2013, the Company has made a capital injection of RMB60 million in cash in Chalco Mining Co., Ltd.

	(ii)	As disclosed in Note 6 to the financial statements, the Company entered into Aluminum Fabrication Interests Transfer Agreement with Chinalco, pursuant to which the Company transferred to Chinalco its equity interests in six Aluminum Fabrication Subsidiaries. Upon completion of these transactions on June 27, 2013, the investments in six Aluminum Fabrication Subsidiaries were derecognised accordingly.

	(iii)	In April 2013, Jiaozuo Wanfang, a former subsidiary of the Company, issued an additional 169,266,914 A shares through private offering to independent third parties. Accordingly, the Company's equity interest in Jiaozuo Wanfang was decreased from 24.002% to 17.750%. The Company lost its control over Jiaozuo Wanfang after its equity interest in Jiaozuo Wanfang was diluted on April 19, 2013 (the "Deemed Disposal"). Therefore, the investment in Jiaozuo Wanfang has not been included in the investments in subsidiaries since April 19, 2013.

		The directors of the Company are of the opinion that the Company has significant influence over Jiaozuo Wanfang after the Deemed Disposal considering the Company remains as the largest shareholder and has the rights to nominate five non-independent directors to the board of directors out of eleven directors of Jiaozuo Wanfang. Therefore, the Company has accounted for its equity interest in Jiaozuo Wanfang as an investment in an associate at fair value of RMB1,157 million as at April 19, 2013 (Note 11(b)).

	(iv)	As disclosed in Note 38(a), the Company held a 70.82% equity interest in Ningxia Energy and obtained control over Ningxia Energy on January 23, 2013. Since then, Ningxia Energy has been accounted for as a subsidiary of the Group. Prior to obtaining the control over Ningxia Energy, the Group accounted for it as an associate.

	(v)	As disclosed in Note 39(c), on October 18, 2013, the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Chalco Hong Kong Limited, entered into the Share Purchase Agreement with Chinalco and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Aluminum Corporation of China Overseas Holdings Limited ("Chinalco Overseas Holdings"), pursuant to which Chalco Hong Kong Limited agreed to transfer the 65% equity interest in Chalco Iron Ore to Chinalco Overseas Holdings. The Share Purchase Agreement took effect on December 26, 2013 ("Disposal Date"). Upon the Disposal Date, Chalco Hong Kong Limited did not hold any equity interest in Chalco Iron Ore and the financial results of Chalco Iron Ore were ceased to be consolidated into the Group's financial results.

	(vi)	Chalco Hong Kong Investment Company Limited was established on September 16, 2013 to issue USD350,000,000 senior perpetual securities (the "Senior Perpetual Securities") at an initial interest rate of 6.625% as disclosed in Note 40.

Upon completion of these transactions on June 27, 2013, the investment in Guizhou Chalco was derecognised accordingly. The loss on disposal of investment in Guizhou Chalco was RMB1.49 million.

			In addition, the Company, through a 90.03% owned subsidiary, Henan Aluminum, held a 23.41% equity interests in Henan Zhongfu.

		(iv)	The Company, through a 65% owned subsidiary, Chalco Iron Ore, held a 30.55% equity interest in Simfer Jersey Limited. In 2013, the Company, through Chalco Iron Ore, made additional capital injection to Simfer Jersey Limited of USD82 million (equivalent of RMB507 million) in cash in proportion to its 30.55% equity interest in Simfer Jersey Limited.

			As disclosed in Note 39(c) to the financial statements, the Company and Chalco Hong Kong Ltd. transferred its 65% equity interest in Chalco Iron Ore on December 26, 2013, and derecognised the investment with a carrying amount of USD1,918 million (equivalent to RMB11,727 million) in Simfer Jersey Limited accordingly.

		(v)	The Company, through a 51% owned subsidiary, Shanxi Huasheng Aluminum Co., Ltd.(), held a 43.03% equity interest in Xingshengyuan Coal, which was acquired from a third party (the "seller") at a consideration of RMB380 million.

Upon fulfilling the investment conditions as agreed with the seller, the Group transferred the prepayment of RMB342 million and recognised the remaining payable of RMB38 million, totalling RMB380 million, as investment cost of an associate in May 2013. In 2013, the Group paid the purchase consideration of RMB20 million in cash. As at December 31, 2013, the Group has yet settled the remaining consideration of RMB18 million. In addition, according to the investment agreement entered into between the Group and the seller, the Group is required to pay an amount of RMB10 million in addition to the aforementioned purchase consideration of RMB380 million if Xingshengyuan Coal can expand the development of coal mine as agreed in the coming future.

		(vi)	As disclosed in Note 38(a), the Company had a 70.82% equity interest in Ningxia Energy and obtained control over Ningxia Energy on January 23, 2013.

	For presentation purposes, certain deferred tax assets and liabilities have been offset in the statement of financial position. The following is an analysis of the deferred tax balances of the Group and the Company for financial reporting purposes:

		Group	Company

	December 31,	December 31,	December 31,	December 31,
	2013	2012	2013	2012


Net deferred tax assets	1,793,310	2,116,986	1,202,232	1,525,206


Net deferred tax liabilities	1,088,150	-	-	-

	As at December 31, 2013, the Group has not recognized deferred tax liabilities for the temporary differences related to the investments in an overseas subsidiary and a domestic associate. The reasons for not recognize the deferred tax liabilities related to the temporary difference of investment in an oversea subsidiary are that the Group can control the timing of reversal of such temporary differences and expect it will not be reversed in the foreseeable future. Considering the temporary difference related to the investment in an associate will only be reversed through disposal of such investment, the Group believes that it can control the disposal and it will not dispose it in the foreseeable future, therefore, no deferred tax liability was recognized for such temporary difference. As at December 31, 2013, the temporary difference not recognized deferred tax liabilities was RMB5,133 million. Save as above, all other subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates of the Group are established in China and the related temporary differences for such investments will be reversed through future distribution, which are nontaxable, therefore there are no taxable temporary difference related to such investments.

	As at December 31, 2013, the Group has not recognised deferred tax assets of RMB4,177 million (December 31, 2012: RMB2,422 million) in respect of accumulated tax losses amounting to RMB16,709 million (December 31, 2012: RMB9,686 million) arising in Mainland China that can be carried forward against future taxable income as it was not considered probable that those assets would be realised. The above tax losses will expire in one to five years to offsetting against future taxable profits.

	As at December 31, 2013, the expiry profile of these tax losses was analysed as follows:

		Group	Company

	December 31,	December 31,	December 31,	December 31,
	2013	2012	2013	2012

Total	16,708,683	9,686,005	13,528,790	5,225,801

	As at December 31, 2013, deferred tax assets amounting to RMB1,008 million (December 31, 2012: RMB1,485 million) were recognised for tax losses carried forward to the extent that the realisation of the related tax benefit is probable. The recognition of these deferred tax assets are supported by forecast of future taxable profits available to the Group.

All trade and notes receivables of the Company were denominated in RMB (December 31, 2012: all).

The credit terms for sales to certain subsidiaries of Chinalco are receivable on demand. In some cases, these terms are extended for qualifying long term customers that have met specific credit requirements. As at December 31, 2013, the ageing analysis of trade and notes receivables was as follows:

	6,156,605	2,615,862	2,031,265	2,168,360

	The credit quality of trade and notes receivables that are neither past due nor impaired is assessed by reference to the counterparties' default history. As at December 31, 2013, there was no history of default for these customers.

	As at December 31, 2013, the Group has pledged trade receivables at a carrying amount of RMB110 million (December 31, 2012: RMB nil) for bank and other borrowings as set out in Note 26 to the financial statements.

	The balances of trade and notes receivables that were past due but not impaired relate to a number of individual customers for whom there was no recent history of default. Based on past experience, the directors of the Company are of the opinion that no provision for impairment is necessary in respect of these balances as there has not been a significant change in credit quality and the balances are still considered recoverable within 12 months as at December 31, 2013.

	As at December 31, 2013, trade and notes receivables of RMB789 million (December 31, 2012: RMB463 million) of the Group and RMB377 million (December 31, 2012: RMB417 million) of the Company were substantially impaired and provisions of RMB612 million (December 31, 2012: RMB408 million) and RMB369 million (December 31, 2012: RMB395 million) were made, respectively. The individually impaired receivables mainly relate to customers which are in unexpected difficult economic situations and it was expected that a portion of these receivables would be recovered. The ageing analysis of these receivables is as follows:

	As at December 31, 2013, the Group endorsed certain notes receivables accepted by banks in the PRC (the "Derecognised Notes") to certain of its suppliers in order to settle the trade payables due to such suppliers with a carrying amount in aggregate of RMB8,418 million (December 31, 2012: RMB7,811 million). The Derecognised Notes have a maturity from one to six months at the end of the reporting period. In accordance with the Law of Negotiable Instruments in the PRC, the holders of the Derecognised Notes have a right of recourse against the Group if the PRC banks default (the "Continuing Involvement"). In the opinion of the directors of the Company, the Group has transferred substantially all risks and rewards relating to the Derecognised Notes. Accordingly, it has derecognised the full carrying amounts of the Derecognised Notes and the associated trade payables. The maximum exposure to loss from the Group's Continuing Involvement in the Derecognised Notes and the undiscounted cash flows to repurchase these Derecognised Notes equal to their carrying amounts. In the opinion of the directors of the Company, the fair values of the Group's Continuing Involvement in the Derecognised Notes is not significant.

	For the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Group has not recognised any gain or loss on the date of transfer of the Derecognised Notes. No gains or losses were recognised from the Continuing Involvement, both during the year or cumulatively.

33.	INCOME TAX EXPENSE/(BENEFIT) FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS

		Group

	2013	2012
		(Restated)


Current income tax expense:
- PRC enterprise income tax	214,631	155,629
Deferred income tax expense/(benefit)	124,920	(526,721)


	339,551	(371,092)

	The current PRC enterprise income tax of the Group has been provided at the applicable corporate income tax rate of 25% (2012: 25%) on the estimated assessable profit for the year. Certain branches and subsidiaries of the Company located in western regions of the PRC are granted tax concessions including a preferential tax rate of 15% (2012: 15%).

	In addition, in accordance with the relevant tax rules, the Company and its branches are subject to the applicable effective tax rate, which changed depending on the profitability and the tax rate applicable to each branch and the Company on a combined basis. For the year ended December 31, 2013, the effective tax rate applicable to the Company and its branches on a combined basis was 22.26% (2012: 22.16%).

	The reconciliation between the tax on the Group's profit or loss before income tax from continuing operations and the theoretical tax amount that would arise using the weighted average tax rate applicable to profit or loss of the consolidated entities from continuing operations is as follows:

		Group

	2013	2012
		(Restated)


Profit/(loss) before income tax from continuing operations	883,241	(7,827,376)


Tax expense calculated at the standard
income tax rate of 25% (2012: 25%)	220,810	(1,956,844)
Tax effects of:
Preferential income tax rates applicable to
certain branches and subsidiaries	(91,880)	138,558
Impact of change in income tax rate	2,424	24,375
Tax losses for which no deferred income
tax assets were recognised	2,364,091	635,337
Deductible temporary differences for which
no deferred income tax assets were recognised	59,779	25,655
Utilisation of previously unrecognised
tax losses and expenses	(140,368)	(2,028)
Tax incentive in relation to deduction limits
of certain expenses	(14,096)	(13,759)
Income not subject to tax	(2,434,836)	(218,654)
Expenses not deductible for tax purposes	28,618	38,071
Write down of deferred tax assets previously recognised	345,009	958,197


Income tax expense/(benefit) from continuing operations	339,551	(371,092)


Weighted average effective tax rate	38.44%	4.74%

	The increase in the weighted average effective rate is mainly due to fluctuation in profitability of certain subsidiaries and branches and write down in deferred tax assets previously recognized for tax losses.

	Share of income tax expense of associates and joint ventures from continuing operations of RMB23.5 million (2012 from continuing operations: RMB99 million (restated)) and RMB7.7 million (2012 from continuing operations: RMB4 million (restated)) was included in "share of profits and losses of associates" and "share of profit of joint ventures" from continuing operations, respectively.

34.	EARNINGS/(LOSS) PER SHARE ATTRIBUTABLE TO ORDINARY EQUITY HOLDERS OF THE PARENT

	(a)	Basic

		Basic earnings/(loss) per share is calculated by dividing the profit/(loss) attributable to owners of the parent by the weighted average number of shares in issue during the year.

	2013	2012
		(Restated)


Profit/(loss) attributable to owners of the parent (RMB)
- From continuing operations	739,333,000	(7,163,361,000)
- From the discontinued operation	235,913,000	(1,070,393,000)


	975,246,000	(8,233,754,000)


Weighted average number of
ordinary shares in issue	13,524,487,892	13,524,487,892


Basic earnings/(loss) per share (RMB)
- From continuing operations	0.05	(0.53)


- From the discontinued operation	0.02	(0.08)


	0.07	(0.61)

	(b)	Diluted

		Diluted earnings/(loss) per share from continuing operations and the discontinued operation for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 are the same as the basic earnings/(loss) per share from continuing operations and the discontinued operation as there were no dilutive potential shares during those years.

35.	DIVIDENDS

	According to the articles of association of the Company, the Company considers the maximum limit of profit appropriation to its shareholders is the lowest of:

	(i)	the sum of the current period net profit and opening retained earnings in accordance with IFRSs;

	(ii)	the sum of the current period net profit and opening retained earnings in accordance with the PRC Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises; and

	(iii)	the amount limited by the Company Law of the PRC.

	According to the resolution of annual shareholders' meeting dated June 27, 2013, no dividend would be distributed for the year ended December 31, 2012. Thus, no dividend was paid in 2013 (2012: nil).

	According to the resolution of the Board of Directors dated March 18, 2014, the directors did not propose any final dividend for the year ended December 31, 2013, which is to be approved by the shareholders.

38.	BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

(a)	Chalco Ningxia Energy Group Co., Ltd.

	In the second half of 2012, the Company signed several purchase agreements with the equity holders of Ningxia Power Group Co., Ltd. () ("Ningxia Power") to acquire their interests in Ningxia Power through step acquisitions as follows:

	*	In August 2012, the Company entered into an equity transfer agreement with China Zhongtou Trust Co., Ltd. () ("Zhongtou Trust") to acquire an 11.88% equity interest in Ningxia Power for a total consideration of RMB674.9 million.

	*	In December 2012, the Company entered into an equity transfer agreement with Huadian Power to acquire an additional 23.66% equity interest in Ningxia Power for a total consideration of RMB1,362 million, of which RMB545 million and RMB817 million were paid in December 2012 and January 2013, respectively.

		As at December 31, 2012, the Company held a total of 35.54% equity interest in Ningxia Power which was accounted for as an investment in an associate.

		*	In August 2012, the Company signed an equity transfer agreement with Bank of China Group Investment Limited () ("CGIL") to acquire 23.42% equity interest in Ningxia Power at a consideration of RMB1,347.7 million.

		*	In December 2012, the Company signed an agreement with the other shareholders of Ningxia Power to increase its equity interest in Ningxia Power up to 70.82% with a capital injection of RMB2 billion.

		Both of the transactions with CGIL and the capital injection of RMB2 billion were completed in the form of cash payment on January 23, 2013, upon which the Company had a 70.82% equity interest in Ningxia Power and obtained control over Ningxia Power accordingly. Ningxia Power has been renamed as Chalco Ningxia Energy Group Co., Ltd. () ("Ningxia Energy") on February 8, 2013.

		The acquisition of Ningxia Energy supports the Company's long-term strategy of integrating electricity supply with its aluminum business, especially in the primary aluminum segment.

		The acquisition has been accounted for using the acquisition method. The consolidated financial statements have included the results of Ningxia Energy since the acquisition date. The Group has elected to measure the non-controlling interest in Ningxia Energy at the non-controlling interest's proportionate share of Ningxia Energy's identifiable net assets.

		As at the acquisition date, the fair value of equity interest in Ningxia Energy held by the Company immediately before the acquisition was calculated by using the income approach with key assumptions, such as estimate price, production volume, the production costs and other related expense, with an amount of approximately RMB2,601.5 million while the carrying amount was RMB2,547.6 million(Note11(b)). The gain recognised in other gains from continuing operations in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the year 2013 as a result of the remeasuring the equity interest in Ningxia Energy held by the Company before the business combination to fair value is approximately RMB53.9 million (Note 29(b)).

		The excess of the fair value of identifiable net assets as at the acquisition date over the consideration transferred amounting to approximately RMB651.2 million, which was mainly arising from the fair value adjustments for certain mining rights according to a professional valuer's report, was recognised in other gains from continuing operations in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the year ended December 31, 2013.

		The fair values of the identifiable assets and liabilities of Ningxia Energy as at the acquisition date were as follows:

		**	The management of the Company adjusted the fair value of deferred tax liabilities, other non-current liabilities and non-controlling interests based on the newly obtained documents on mining rights payable from the government after the acquisition date.

		As at the acquisition date, the fair value of intangible assets was RMB6,195 million. The fair value of mining rights was calculated using the discounted cash flow approach.

		The Group incurred transaction costs of RMB4.09 million for this acquisition. The transaction costs have been expensed and are included in general and administrative expenses from continuing operations in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

		An analysis of the cash flows of cash and cash equivalents in respect of the acquisition of Ningxia Energy is as follows:

If the combination had taken place at the beginning of the period, the revenue from continuing operations would have been RMB169,814 million and the net profit from continuing operations for the period would have been RMB555 million.

	(b)	PT. Nusapati Prima ("PTNP")

		In September 2012, the Group signed purchase agreements with the equity holders of Jointcap International Limited ("Jointcap") and Winshore Investment Limited ("Winshore") to acquire 100% equity interests in Jointcap and Winshore. Jointcap and Winshore held 70% equity interest in PTNP, a company incorporated in Indonesia, which holds several bauxite exploration permits and mining rights in Indonesia. The business combination was completed on April 26, 2013, at a total cash consideration of RMB97.3 million (USD15.5 million).

		The acquisition of PTNP supports the Company's long-term strategy of sustained and stable supply of bauxite.

		The acquisition has been accounted for using the acquisition method. The consolidated financial statements have included the results of PTNP since the acquisition date. The Group has elected to measure the non-controlling interests in PTNP at the non-controlling interests' proportionate shares of PTNP's identifiable net assets.

		The excess of the consideration over the fair value of identifiable net assets as at the acquisition date amounting to approximately RMB14.3 million was recognised as goodwill as at the date of acquisition and the amount of the non-controlling interests in PTNP at the date of acquisition was RMB44.2 million.

		The fair values of the identifiable assets and liabilities of PTNP as at the acquisition date were as follows:

39.	DISPOSAL OF SUBSIDIARIES AND BUSINESS

	All the effects of the disposal of the Aluminum Fabrication Segment were excluded from the information disclosed in this note below since it was considered as a discontinued operation. For details of the discontinued operation, refer to Note 6 for details.

	(a)	Deemed disposal of Jiaozuo Wanfang

		As disclosed in Note 10(iii), the Company disposed of its equity interest in Jiaozuo Wanfang on April 19, 2013 through the Deemed Disposal. The details of the net assets disposed of are as follows:

		On September 29, 2010, the Company disposed of a 4.998% equity interest in Jiaozuo Wanfang at a consideration of RMB510 million. The difference between the disposal consideration and the proportionate amount of the net assets attributable to the Company of RMB257.5 million was recognised as capital reserve in the consolidated financial statements. The Company considers that it lost control over Jiaozuo Wanfang after its equity interest in Jiaozuo Wanfang was diluted in the current year and the disposal of the 4.998% equity interest in 2010. The management of the Company believed that the above transactions were accounted for as a single transaction after considering the terms, conditions and commercial effect of these transactions.

		The Company recognised a total gain from loss of control of Jiaozuo Wanfang amounting to RMB805 million (Note 29(b)), representing the gain of RMB547 million from the above Deemed Disposal and the transfer of a gain of RMB257.5 million from capital reserve relating to the disposal of 4.998% equity interest in 2010. The fair value of the Company's retained equity interest in Jiaozuo Wanfang at the date of loss of control was calculated by using the share price of Jiaozuo Wanfang multiplied by the retained shares.

		An analysis of the cash flows of cash and cash equivalents in respect of the Deemed Disposal of Jiaozuo Wanfang is as follows:

	(b)	Disposal of Alumina Production Line of Guizhou Branch of the Company

		On June 6, 2013, the Company entered into an Alumina Assets Transfer Agreement with Guizhou Aluminum Plant (), a subsidiary of Chinalco, pursuant to which the Company transferred the alumina production line of Guizhou Branch of the Company (the "Alumina Production Line") to Guizhou Aluminum Plant (). Pursuant to the Alumina Assets Transfer Agreement, the consideration thereof was determined with reference to an independent valuation undertaken by a professional valuer recognised in the PRC of the net assets of Alumina Production Line as at December 31, 2012, adjusted to give effect to the changes in net assets value from the valuation date (December 31, 2012) to the disposal date. The above transaction was completed on June 27, 2013.

		After giving adjustment to the change in the net assets value from the valuation date (December 31, 2012) to the disposal date regarding the Alumina Production Line, the consideration for the disposal of the Alumina Production Line was finalised at RMB4,300.1 million. The details of the net assets disposed of are as follows:

	(c)	Disposal of Chalco Iron Ore

		On October 18, 2013, the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Chalco Hong Kong Limited, entered into the Share Purchase Agreement with Chinalco and its wholly-owned subsidiary Chinalco Overseas Holdings pursuant to which Chalco Hong Kong Limited agreed to transfer its 65% equity interests in Chalco Iron Ore to Chalco Overseas Holdings. As an investment vehicle, Chalco Iron Ore holds 47% equity interests in Simfer Jersey Limited which in turns holds indirectly 95% equity interests in the Simfer SA, which directly invests in and operates the Simandou Project in Guinea, West Africa(the "Simandou Project"). The Simandou Project involves the development of a premium open-pit iron mine located in Guinea in West Africa.

		Pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement, the consideration thereof was determined with reference to an independent valuation undertaken by a professional valuer recognised in the PRC of the net asset of Chalco Iron Ore as at December 31, 2012 (the "Valuation Date"), adjusted to give effect to the changes in net assets value from the valuation date to the disposal date. The above transaction was completed on December 26, 2013 (the "Disposal Date"). After giving adjustment to the change in the net assets value from the Valuation Date to the Disposal Date regarding Chalco Iron Ore, the consideration for the disposal of the Chalco Iron Ore was finalized at USD2,118 million(equivalent of RMB12,953 million).

		The Simandou Project is a large project in terms of the investment scale with a long construction period. As a party to the Simandou Project, taking into account of the current financial position, the Company had funding pressure. In order to reduce the capital expenditure, lower the gear ratio and cut down the interest expenses, the Company disposed its equity interest in the Simandou Project. The Company believes that the above disposal will bring considerable cash flows for the Company and reduce the interest expenses.
