Feb 11 (Reuters) - Australia's Newcrest Mining Ltd (NCM) on Thursday posted an underlying half-year profit that nearly doubled as it benefitted from higher realised gold prices on the back of increased safe-haven demand.
The country's largest listed gold miner recorded underlying profit of $553 million for the half-year ended Dec. 31, up from $280 million reported last year.
The Melbourne-based company also declared an interim dividend of 15 cents per share.
