Afarak Group continued to show increased output in the specialty segment with a 28.3% higher production compared to the same period 2024.

The South African Mining activity is naturally reduced, due to the sale of the Zeerust mine during the second quarter of this year. We have also engaged in major preparation work, both in Vlaakport and Mecklenburg mines, causing a reduced mining activity during Q3 2025.

This is shown in Afarak Group overall production during the third quarter of 2025, which was lower by 51.4% when compared to same period of last year.

       The demand for Cr Ore remains strong and sustained in China. The decision of the major South African ferro-chrome players to massively reduce the production naturally leads to a higher export of ore, and an increased production of ferro-chrome in China. The relatively low activity of stainless steel producers in the Western world, continues to hamper the demand for FeCr in these territories.

       Cr Ore prices in China have again improved during Q3 2025. The world market prices for both high and low carbon ferrochrome are also recovering gradually.

       Chrome products being US$ commodities, we certainly feel the weakening of the US currency in our bottom line. New discussions about a possible export quota for Cr Ore out of South Africa have recently restarted.
