Credit: REUTERS/Siphiwe SibekoJOHANNESBURG, Aug 5 (Reuters) - South African miner Gold Fields GFIJ.J said on Wednesday half-year profits could rise by more than 300%, thanks mostly to an increase in global gold prices.
The company said headline earnings per share - the main profit measure in South Africa - for the six months to June 30, were likely to be between US¢19.5 and 20.5 cents - an up to 310% increase on the 5 cents per share reported last year.
