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

(Stock Code: 2600)

As additional time is required by the professional advisers of the Company to advise the Company on the relevant procedures for the convening of the SGM and the separate Class Meetings and to have further discussions with the Independent Financial Advisor in relation to the scope of advice to be provided, the date of the despatch of the Circular is expected to be postponed to a date falling on or before 30 August 2007.

Reference is made to the announcement dated 20 July 2007 issued by Aluminum Corporation of China Limited (the "Company"), in relation to, among other matters, the discloseable and connected transaction in respect of the Proposed Merger of Baotou Aluminum and Share Exchange with Baotou Group and the Whitewash Waiver (the "Announcement"). Unless otherwise defined, terms used in this announcement shall have the same meanings as defined in the Announcement.

DELAY IN DESPATCH OF THE CIRCULAR

Under Rule 8.2 of the Takeovers Code, Rule 14.38 and 14A.49 of the Listing Rules, a circular (the "Circular") is required to be despatched by the Company to its shareholders within 21 days from the publication of the Announcement. Accordingly, the Circular is required to be despatched on or before 11 August 2007.

As the Merger Proposal requires approvals by the Shareholders at the SGM and separate Class Meetings of the holders of H Shares and A Shares respectively, additional time is required by the professional advisers of the Company to advise the Company on the relevant procedures for convening the SGM and the separate Class Meetings. In addition, as there are differences in the interpretation of a "connected transaction" between the relevant PRC regulations and the Listing Rules, the Company requires more time to determine the scope of advice to be provided by the Independent Financial Advisers and the Independent Board Committee in relation to the Share Exchange.

Waiver applications have been made by the Company to the Executive and the Stock Exchange, respectively, from strict compliance with the requirements under Rule 14.38 and Rule 14A.39 of the Listing Rules and Rule 8.2 of the Takeovers Code. The despatch of the Circular will be postponed from 11 August 2007 to a date falling on or before 30 August 2007.
