(Alliance News) - Pan African Resources PLC on Wednesday said it expects to report a double digit rise in profit for its recently ended financial year, on the back of stronger gold sales at a better average price.
For the year ended June 30, the Africa-focused gold miner said it expects basic earnings per share to come in the range of 3.76 and 4.10 US cents, a 63% to 78% increase from 2.30 cents the year before.
In addition, headline earnings per share is set to come in the same range, but marking a 64% to 79% rise from 2.29 cents the prior year.
Pan African said the improved earnings is due to gold and other revenue rising 35% year-on-year to USD368.9 million from USD273.7 million, mainly due to a 12% increase in gold sold to 201,777 ounces, and a 16% rise in the average gold price to USD1,821 per ounce.
Pan African Resources will publish its annual results on Wednesday next week.
Shares in Pan African Resources were down 0.4% at 16.79 pence on Wednesday in London, while its Johannesburg shares were 3.5% lower at ZAR3.28.
