Hengshi Mining Investments Limited provided earnings guidance for the six months ended June 30, 2015. The board of directors of the company announced that based on the company's preliminary review of the latest unaudited financial information of the group, it is expected that the group's profit after tax for the six months ended June 30, 2015 will decline by approximately 50% to 60% as compared with that of the corresponding period in 2014. Such decline has arisen due to the fact that the sales price of the group's iron ore concentrates has declined significantly as compared with that of the corresponding period in 2014, mainly as a result of the change in the supply and demand in the global iron ore market, which resulted in a decrease of the iron ore price.

The company reported group production results for the six months ended June 30, 2015. For the period, the company's total iron ore concentrates production was 891.18 Kt compared to 522.41 Kt a year ago.
