Progress has been made in the construction of the Xinjiang project, in which the first phase of the Weizigou coal mine project (2.4 million tons) was approved by the National Development and Reform Commission in January 2019, while the 106coal mine (first phase production capacity of 1.2 million tons, with a total capacity of 1.8 million tons) is being processed for mining license. By the end of 2018, the progress of the two coal mine projects was 36.2% and 97.5% respectively.

Profit Forecast and Investment rating

In recent years, the company's coal business profits have quickly returned to the 2011-2012 level, but the profits of electrolytic aluminum and power business have declined. At present, the company has calculated impairment for these assets, and the subsequent impact on the company's operating performance is expected to be reduced. And through the big pressure on the small, the power business is also expected to gradually reduce losses. In the medium and long term, the company has a coal production capacity of nearly 4.2 million tons under construction, equivalent to half of the current production capacity, and has more room for growth. The company's EPS is expected to be 1.29,1.34 and 1.39 yuan respectively in 2019-2021, and the current PB is only about 0.8 times (the industry average PB is about 1.2 times, while the company's historical average PB is about 2.3 times). The company's current valuation is low, and we think it is relatively reasonable for the company's PB valuation to return to 1.0 times. Based on the net assets per share at the end of 2018, we estimate the reasonable value of the company at 13.2 yuan and maintain the "overweight" rating.

Risk hints: macroeconomic growth is lower than expected, coal prices fall faster than expected, progress in coal mine and power plant construction is lower than expected, and corporate costs rise too quickly.
