No major Northam earnings fluctuations

[miningmx.com] –PLATINUM producer Northam Platinum on Tuesday said it expects its full year earnings per share and headline earnings per share to be between 170 and 190 cents.

This compares with earnings per share of 183.7 cents per share and headline earnings per share of 172.2 cents per share reported for the year to end June 2009.

Total platinum group metals sales volumes were approximately 18% higher than the previous comparable period which combined with a marginally higher average rand basket price received resulted in significantly higher total revenue for the group.

Preliminary results for the year will be released on or about August 20.
