JSE-listed ferrochrome producer Merafe Resources expects to report a basic loss a share of between 34.6c and 45.4c apiece for the year ended December 31, 2020.

This compares with a basic loss a share of 54.2c apiece reported for the prior year.

Merafe’s headline loss a share improved by between 66% and 86% year-on-year to between 0.5c and 1.1c apiece, against a headline loss a share of 3.4c in the prior year.
