FURTHER DELAY IN PAYMENT DATE 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, (ii) the poll results announcement of the Company dated 24 May 2019, in relation to, among others, payment of a final dividend of RMB2.78 cents per share (the "Final Dividend") for the year ended 31 December 2018, and (iii) the announcements dated 16 December 2019 and 23 January 2020 respectively (the "Announcements") in relation to the delay in payment of the Final Dividend. Capitalised terms used herein shall have the same meanings as those defined in the Announcements unless stated otherwise.

On 27 January 2020, the State Council of the PRC announced that the Chinese New Year holiday was extended to 2 February 2020 due to the outbreak of coronavirus. Other cities and provinces in the PRC shortly followed by extending their respective holidays. The Government of Jiangxi Province, where our PRC subsidiary is located, also announced to extend further the Chinese New Year holiday to 9 February 2020. However, as at the date of this announcement, public transits have still been blocked or suspended in numerous cities and counties, thereby restricting most of our staff from travelling back to the working locations.

The Board considered that the outbreak of coronavirus, which has already delayed and is likely to further delay our employees from resuming to work, would affect the Group's production and operation. Accordingly, in order to minimise the adverse impact that the epidemic situation may bring to the Company's production and operation during this unpredictable period, sufficient funds shall be maintained to meet operation needs. As a result, the Company expects that the payment date of the Final Dividend will be further postponed to on or before 31 March 2020.

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

By Order of the Board
