Newton Resources Ltd. intended to recognise an impairment on the group's assets at the Yanjiazhuang Mine in the region of approximately RMB 500 million for the year ending 31 December 2016. Such impairment, once confirmed, will be reflected in the Group's annual results for the fiscal year 2016, which will in turn result in a significant increase in the net loss of the group as compared to that for the prior year. The impairment provision is still subject to finalisation and audit.
