A drop in iron prices, a stronger rand and transport woes weighed on the miner’s profits

The diversified miner was also not able to take full advantage of record high international coal prices because of the bottlenecks that bedevilled state-owned Transnet Freight Rail. As a result, headline earnings fell 27% to R3.7bn in the six months to end-December, as iron ore prices fell 7% to $116 a tonne on average from $125 and the rand strengthened 8% against the dollar.

However, the manganese division shot the lights out with a 308% increase in headline earnings, driven by higher average manganese ore and manganese alloy prices.
