  2. PROPOSED WITHDRAWAL OF LISTING OF CMC SHARES IRREVOCABLE UNDERTAKING RECEIVED BY THE OFFEROR

Financial Adviser to the Offeror

Reference is made to the joint announcement issued by Chinalco Mining Corporation International (''CMC'') and Aluminum Corporation of China Overseas Holdings Limited (the ''Offeror'') on 23 September 2016 (the ''Announcement'') in relation to, among other things, the proposed privatisation of CMC by the Offeror by way of a scheme of arrangement under Section 86 of the Companies Law and the joint announcement issued by CMC and the Offeror on 30 September 2016 in relation to the irrevocable undertaking received by the Offeror from Tongling Nonferrous Metals Group Holdings Co., Ltd. Unless otherwise defined, capitalised terms used herein shall have the same meanings as those defined in the Announcement.

On 25 January 2017, the Offeror received an irrevocable undertaking from Nice Ascent Development Limited (''Nice Ascent'') pursuant to which Nice Ascent has undertaken to, amongst other things, exercise (or procure the exercise) of all voting rights attached to the 111,594,000 CMC Shares (representing approximately 0.9443% of the issued share capital of CMC) held or owned by it at the Court Meeting and the extraordinary general meeting to be convened by CMC in connection with the Proposal in favour of all the resolutions to be proposed at such meetings (including but not limited to the resolutions to approve the Proposal and any matters in connection with the Proposal).

The irrevocable undertaking from Nice Ascent will be terminated and the obligations of Nice Ascent under such irrevocable undertaking shall lapse and terminate if the Scheme does not become effective, lapses or is withdrawn in accordance with its terms and no new, revised or replacement Scheme is announced by the Offeror and/or CMC at the same time.

As at the date of this announcement, taking into account the irrevocable undertakings obtained from Nice Ascent and the Offtake Shareholders, six Independent CMC Shareholders holding an aggregate of 1,078,492,000 CMC Shares, representing approximately 64.05% of the CMC Shares held by all the Independent CMC Shareholders and approximately 9.13% of the issued share capital of CMC, have undertaken to vote in favour of the Proposal.

Warnings:

CMC Shareholders and potential investors should be aware that the implementation of the Proposal and the Scheme is subject to the Conditions being fulfilled or waived, as applicable, and thus the Proposal may or may not be implemented and the Scheme may or may not become effective. CMC Shareholders and potential investors should therefore exercise caution when dealing in the securities of CMC. Persons who are in doubt as to the action they should take should consult their licensed securities dealer or registered institution in securities, bank manager, solicitor or other professional advisers.
