For the convenience of the reader, amounts in Renminbi, the Chinese currency ("CNY"), have been translated into United States dollars ("US$") at the applicable rate of US$1.00 = CNY6.6368 as quoted by UKForex as of June 30, 2016. No representation is made that the CNY amounts could have been, or could be, converted into US$ at that rate, or at all.
The condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 (unaudited) and the condensed consolidated statements of financial position sheet as of June 30, 2016 (unaudited) are derived from, and should be read in conjunction with, the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 17, 2016 under cover of Form 6-K. The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2016.
Mr. Edward Wong, the Company's Chairman and CEO, commented on the 2016 interim results: "While exploration of additional mineable ore at Yangchong Mine is in progress, the Group has decided to continue the temporary suspension of mining and sales operations as the current market price of iron concentrates remains too low for economically viable operations. The sales price of iron concentrates has been improving in 2016 and we expect to resume our sales operations when the price rebounds to an acceptable level. We continue to explore opportunities to acquire other projects in China that can generate cash and add value to our shareholders."
About China Natural Resources, Inc.:
China Natural Resources, Inc., a British Virgin Islands corporation, through its operating subsidiaries in the People's Republic of China, is currently engaged in the acquisition and exploitation of mining rights, including the exploration, mineral extraction, processing and sale of iron, zinc and other nonferrous metals, extracted or produced at mine primarily located in Anhui Province in the PRC.

This press release includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of federal securities laws. These statements include, without limitation, statements regarding the intent, belief and current expectations of management with respect to the Company's policies regarding investments, dispositions, financings, conflicts of interest and other matters; and trends affecting the Company's financial condition or results of operations. Forward-looking statements are not a guarantee of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties, many of which are outside of our control, and actual results may differ materially from those in the forward-looking statement. Among the risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ from our forward-looking statements are: uncertainties relating to our business operations and operating results; uncertainties regarding the governmental, economic and political environment in the People's Republic of China; uncertainties associated with metal and coal price volatility; uncertainties associated with the Company's reliance on third-party contractors and other risks detailed from time to time in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including without limitation the information set forth in our Annual Report on Form 20-F under the heading "Risk Factors". While management believes that its assumptions forming the bases for forward looking statements are reasonable, assumed facts or bases generally vary from actual results, and there can be no assurance that the expectations or beliefs expressed in forward looking statements will be achieved or accomplished.
