South Africa's Gold Fields posted on Thursday a jump of 29% in half-year profit, driven by higher metal prices and increased production.

Gold Fields' headline earnings per share (HEPS) - the main profit measure used in South Africa - was $0.58 for the six months to June 30, up from $0.45 a year earlier.
