VEDANTA HIT BY ZAMBIA COPPER SLIDE
Miner Vedanta Resources has posted a five per cent dip in core profit its December quarter, hit by weaker performances at its aluminium and Zambian copper operations. The India-focused miner said earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation came in at $848.4m (£537m) for the third quarter, including $131m from its majority stake in Cairn India, acquired last year.
