Norddeutsche Affinerie AG (NA) expects profit jump

Hamburg, 11.12.2007 – NA expects consolidated earnings before taxes (EBT)
in the amount of about € 250 million for the last fiscal year 2006/07 (IFRS
without revaluation of LIFO inventories using the average cost method).

In addition to the excellent production performance in all Group sectors,
this positive development is attributable to good treatment and refining
charges as well as earnings from backwardation that were generated as a
result of the utilisation of varying forward prices, in particular for
copper.

From the likewise very good net income of Norddeutsche Affinerie AG, the
Executive Board and Supervisory Board intend to recommend to the Annual
General Meeting the payment of a higher dividend of € 1.45 per share
compared with the prior year (€ 1.05 per share).
