China Metal Resources Utilization Limited provided earnings guidance for the six months ended 30 June 2015. The board of directors of China Metal Resources Utilization Limited announced that the profit attributable to the shareholders for the six months ended 30 June 2015 is expected to substantially decrease as compared with that of the corresponding period in 2014 to the extent that a considerable loss may be recorded. Based on the information currently available to the company, the board believes that such substantial decrease in profit, or considerable loss, is mainly attributable to the slowdown in economic growth in the People's Republic of China, which resulted in a decrease in the demand for the group's copper products, and thus a drop in sales volume.
