Shares of South Africa's Kumba Iron Ore rise nearly 3 percent after the company says its full-year profit likely doubled.

Kumba is trading 2.75 percent higher at 462.39 rand, compared with a 0.18 percent fall in Johannesburg's All-share Index .

The company says higher earnings were largely due to an increase in export iron ore prices and sales. - Reuters
