Aluminum Corporation Of China Limited provided earnings guidance for the year ending December 31, 2011. Based on the preliminary calculations of the finance department of the company, the net profits (attributable to the equity holders of the company) for the year 2011 are estimated to decrease by more than 50% from that for the corresponding period last year. Due to Europe's debt crisis and impacts of the global economic environment, the price of aluminum dropped sharply in the fourth quarter of the year 2011. Meanwhile, the price hike of electricity has increased the production cost of the company. The loss arising from the company's operations in the fourth quarter has affected the company's overall annual profits.
