JOHANNESBURG, July 20 (Reuters) – South Africa iron ore
producer Kumba Iron Ore reported a drop in first-half
profit due to a sharp drop in iron ore prices but still declared
an interim dividend of 19.20 rand a share.
Africa’s largest producer of the steel making ingredient
said production was up 13 percent in the six months to end June
to 21.6 million tonnes with export sales up by the same amount
to 20.7 million tonnes.
