Feb 16 (Reuters) - Australia's Newcrest Mining Ltd reported a marginal 1% fall in half-year profit on
Thursday, impacted by higher costs due to increased activities
and lower prices for the gold and copper it sold during the
period.
The country's largest listed gold miner said its underlying
profit was $293 million for the half-year ended December 31,
compared with $298 million a year earlier, but beat estimates of
$184 million, according to Refinitiv.
