PROFIT WARNING: AFARAK EXPECTS SIGNIFICANTLY BETTER QUARTER ONE RESULTS



Afarak  increased its revenue substantially in Q1/2017 when compared to Q1/2016.
The   increase  in  chrome  ore  and  ferrochrome  market  prices  and  Afarak's
progression  in production,  both in  Germany and  in South  Africa, contributed
significantly to this improved performance.

It  is expected  that quarter  one results  for 2017 will  be among  the highest
recorded  for the company  since it entered  the mineral business.   The EBIT is
expected to reach a level of not less than € 10 Million.

Afarak  will publish  its interim  report for  the first  quarter of 2017 on May
12(th), 2017.
