South Africa-focused platinum producer Lonmin said on Monday its first-half core profit was $36 million, up from a loss of $6 million the same time a year ago following cost savings.
Cost savings were well ahead of schedule as 469 million South African rand ($30.26 million) was saved in the first half of the year, 60 percent of the full-year target.
Losses per share were 1.8 cents, an improvement of 162.8 cents on the loss of 164.6 cents in the first half last year.
