New major risk - Share price stability The company's share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months. It is more volatile than 90% of German stocks, typically moving 10.0% a week. This is considered a major risk. Share price volatility increases the risk of potential losses in the short-term as the stock tends to have larger drops in price more frequently than other stocks. It may also indicate the stock is highly sensitive to market conditions or economic conditions rather than being sensitive to its own business performance, which may also be inconsistent. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (10.0% average weekly change). High level of non-cash earnings (22% accrual ratio). Minor Risk Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (11% increase in shares outstanding). New Risk • Jul 17
New minor risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 11% This is considered a minor risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk High level of non-cash earnings (22% accrual ratio). Minor Risks Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (9.2% average weekly change). Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (11% increase in shares outstanding).

West African Resources Limited Intercepts 20.5M At 2.98 G/T Gold At MV3 East West African Resources Limited reported high grade gold mineralisation in ongoing diamond drilling at the MV3 East prospect, located 6km from Sanbrado Gold Operations (Sanbrado), Burkina Faso. WAF is undertaking a diamond drilling program targeting high grade sulphide mineralisation at the MV3 East prospect, located 6km northwest of the Sanbrado mine site, Burkina Faso. A total of 140 holes for 13,392m have been drilled to date, with today's release reporting results for 6 diamond holes. Recent diamond drilling has focused on extending the southern high-grade shoot down plunge at the MV3 East prospect with high grade mineralisation intercepted up to 200m below surface. This deeper drilling campaign was temporarily on hold due to limited access from wet weather and cropping. Significant results from this drilling program include: MAK22-RCDT009: 20.5m at 2.98 g/t Au from 192m, MAK22-RCDT004: 16m at 2.88 g/t Au from 254.5m, MAK22-RCDT006: 21m at 2.16 g/t Au from 254m and MAK22-RCDT007: 12m at 2.02 g/t Au from 260.5m. Deeper drilling confirms the geological and mineralisation interpretation developed from earlier near-surface drilling. Flexures along the main shear corridor appear to control the high-grade shoots with grade and widths increasing at these zones. Structural measurements from the recent diamond drilling indicate that there is a steep northerly plunge to the high-grade mineralisation. The strike of the southern high-grade shoot now extends over 200m and remains open to the south where MAK22 RCDT009 intercepted 20m at 2.98 g/t Au. Work at MV3 East has now resumed with further drilling planned to test down plunge of the remaining high-grade shoots and surface mineralisation along strike of the MV3 East prospect. Additionally, several targets generated from an IP survey, historical RAB and WAF Auger drilling will be tested in the coming months. These targets all lie within 700m of the MV3 East prospect.
