DELAY IN PAYMENT OF FINAL DIVIDEND

Reference is made to (i) the 2018 annual results announcement of Wanguo International Mining Group Limited (the "Company") dated 29 March 2019 (the "Announcement") and

1. the poll results announcement of the Company dated 24 May 2019, in relation to, among others, payment of a final dividend for the year ended 31 December 2018. Capitalised terms used herein shall have the same meanings as those defined in the Announcement unless stated otherwise.

As disclosed in the Announcement, a final dividend of RMB2.78 cents per share (the "Final Dividend") for the year ended 31 December 2018 is expected to be paid on or before 31 December 2019 to the Shareholders whose names appear on the register of members of the Company on 4 June 2019. The declaration of the Final Dividend was approved by the Shareholders at the annual general meeting of the Company held on 24 May 2019.

Save as disclosed above, all other information in relation to the payment of the Final Dividend as mentioned in the Announcement shall remain unchanged.
