Altura Mining Ltd. provided earnings guidance for the full year ended June 30, 2013. The company's net loss for the year ended June 30 is likely to be in the range of $800,000 to $1.2 million. This compares with the company's result for the 2012 year of a loss of $1.8 million.

The reduced loss in 2013 is mainly due to a favourable foreign exchange movement, the first-time recognition of the equity accounted result from Delta Coal and reductions in administration expenditure, partially offset by lower revenues from the Mine Services segment.
