For the year, the group is expected to record a profit compared to a loss recorded by the Group for the full year of 2012. The turnaround to profit from a loss position is mainly attributable to the net profit for 2013 contributed by Jin Rui Mining Investment Limited and its subsidiaries 100% interest of which was acquired by the company
on 14 November 2013; and the increase in the net profit derived from the trading of mineral and metal products by the Group in 2013 as compared with that in 2012 primarily due to the increase in the volume of such trading activities.
