Coal and heavy minerals mining company Exxaro said on Thursday its headline earnings per share were up 42 percent to R17.30 in the six months ended June 30. Exxaro said revenue increased by two percent to R12 billion, but net operating profit was down 24 percent at R2.4 billion. Exxaro, which has interests in the coal, TiO2, ferrous and energy sectors, declared an interim dividend of 864 cents per share.
