JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) - South Africa's Kumba Iron Ore, a unit of global mining company Anglo American, said on Wednesday its full-year profit likely fell by about a third, hit by lower export prices and an illegal strike at its main mine.
Kumba said in a statement it expects to report headline earnings per share of between 36.30 rand and 38.80 for the year to end-December, compared with 53.13 rand a year earlier.
Headline EPS, the main measure of profit in South Africa, excludes certain one-time items.
Kumba said the decrease is due to a decline in export iron ore prices and lower production following an illegal strike at its Sishen Mine.
Kumba and other South African mining companies were caught by a wave of labour unrest that started in the platinum industry last year and swept across Africa's biggest economy.
Anglo American Platinum, another local unit of Anglo American, warned this week it would fall to a full-year loss because of the strikes.
Kumba said it will release its results around February 12.
