Aluminum Corporation of China Limited*
(a joint stock limited company incorporated in the People's Republic of China with limited liability)

(Stock Code: 2600)

The Board is pleased to announce that, as the financial services agreement entered into between the Company and Chinalco Finance on 26 August 2011 will expire on 25 August 2012, the Company and Chinalco Finance will renew the financial services agreement so as to continue to regulate the financial services provided thereunder.

As Chinalco is the controlling shareholder of the Company, holding approximately 41.80% of the issued share capital of the Company, Chinalco is a connected person of the Company under the Hong Kong Listing Rules. As Chinalco holds 100% of the equity interest in Chinalco Finance, Chinalco Finance is a subsidiary of Chinalco and therefore a connected person of the Company. Accordingly, the Renewed Financial Services Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder constitute continuing connected transactions of the Company under Chapter 14A of the Hong Kong Listing Rules.

As the relevant percentage ratio calculated in accordance with the Hong Kong Listing Rules for deposit services under the Renewed Financial Services Agreement exceeds 5%, the deposit services to be provided by Chinalco Finance to the Group are subject to the reporting, announcement and independent shareholders' approval requirements under the Hong Kong Listing Rules.

The credit services to be provided by Chinalco Finance to the Group are on normal commercial terms, similar to or more favourable than those offered by the commercial banks in the PRC for the provision of comparable services and are in the interest of the Group. No security over the assets of the Group is granted to Chinalco or Chinalco Finance in respect of such loans. Therefore, the loan services to be provided by Chinalco Finance to the Group under the Renewed Financial Services Agreement are exempt from all reporting, announcement and independent shareholders' approval requirements under Rule 14A.65(4) of the Hong Kong Listing Rules.

In respect of the provision of miscellaneous financial services by Chinalco Finance to the Group, as each of the percentage ratios (if applicable) is below the de minimis threshold set out in Rule 14A.33 of the Hong Kong Listing Rules, the provision of miscellaneous financial services by Chinalco Finance to the Group will be exempt from the reporting, announcement and independent shareholders' approval requirements under the Hong Kong Listing Rules.

The Company will hold an extraordinary general meeting to seek the independent shareholders' approval regarding the deposit services under the Renewed Financial Services Agreement. A circular containing, among others, (i) details of the Renewed Financial Services Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder; (ii) a letter of recommendation from the independent board committee to the independent shareholders of the Company; and (iii) a letter of advice by an independent financial adviser to the independent board committee and the independent shareholders of the Company will be despatched to the Shareholders of the Company in due course. However, the Company is unable to despatch the circular within 15 business days after the date of this announcement as the Company needs more time to confirm and compile the information in the circular.

REASONS AND BENEFITS FOR THE RENEWED FINANCIAL SERVICES AGREEMENT

The reasons for the Company to enter into the Renewed Financial Services Agreement with Chinalco Finance are as follows:

The Company may take full advantage of the favorable policy of free settlement services provided by Chinalco Finance to duly increase the amount of settlement services to be provided by Chinalco Finance and reduce the banking commission charges payable by the Company, which is beneficial in reducing the amount of settlement capital that is required to be kept by the Company and its subsidiaries, thereby releasing more capital for turnover.

2.

The Company will deposit part of its funds with Chinalco Finance, which will provide financing support to the Company's subsidiaries through operating loans subject to compliance with the limits for such loans. Such arrangements will resolve the liquidity requirements of individual subsidiaries of the Company and enables the Company to centralize its management of the Group's credit limits and loan targets through Chinalco Finance.

This transaction facilitates the Group to optimize its financial management, increase the efficiency of fund utilization, and reduce the cost of financing and the financing risks. It will not be detrimental to the interests of the Company and will not affect the independency of the Company.

IV.

PROPOSED CAPS AND REASONS

Deposit Services

Pursuant to the financial services agreement which will expire on 25 August 2012, the maximum daily deposit balance (including the accrued interests) of the Group with Chinalco Finance shall not exceed RMB2.8 billion (equivalent to approximately HK$3.412 billion). Under the Renewed Financial Services Agreement, the relevant maximum daily deposit balance (including the accrued interests) for the coming three financial years shall not exceed RMB5 billion (equivalent to approximately HK$6.099 billion).

The Board, having considered (i) the future business development plan and financial requirements of the Group; (ii) the need to obtain most favorable interest rate for the loan in order to reduce the interest expense; (iii) the free settlement services provided by Chinalco Finance, which will reduce the financial cost of the Company; (iv) the amount of funds deposited with Chinalco Finance which can be utilized to supplement the financial requirements of the subsidiaries of the Company and increase the efficiency of fund utilization, proposed the above adjustment to the maximum daily deposit balance (including the accrued interests) in the Group's settlement account with Chinalco Finance under the Renewed Financial Services Agreement for the coming three financial years.

Settlement Services
