South African platinum group metals (PGM) miner Sibanye Stillwater’s half-year profit jumped 140%, the company said on Thursday, citing higher production and record commodity prices.

Headline earnings per share – the main measure of corporate profits in South Africa – in the six months to June 30 were 843 cents, up from 350 cents a year earlier.

The company, which also mines gold, also announced a dividend of 292 cents per share.
