ASX & Media Release

18 July 2008

Profit guidance — Half year results up more than 25%

Profit guidance

The Directors of CITIC Australia Trading Limited (CAL) are pleased to advise that, based upon preliminary, unaudited figures, CAL’S net profit after tax for the 6 months ended 30 June 2008 is expected to be approximately 25% to 30% higher than the corresponding period of the prior year (net profit after tax for the same six month period in 2007 was $6.6m).

Sales increased approximately 33.9%, reflecting higher iron ore prices and volume than during 2007.

The 2008 Half-year Financial Report and the First Half Shareholders’ Report is expected to be released in late August.

Dividend policy

The board’s policy remains that a final dividend will be paid after the full financial year is concluded. As CAL operates in a trading environment where there are many uncertainties and with high volatility in commodity prices, such an environment makes predicting future revenue and earnings difficult.
