Nordgold, the gold mining company spun off from Severstal this year, more than doubled fourth-quarter profit on increased production, it said.
Net income rose to $78.3 million from $34.5 million a year earlier. Sales grew 43 percent to $385 million. Gold production may expand to as much as a record 850,000 ounces this year, the company said in a statement Friday. Output expanded 28 percent to 754,000 ounces last year, Nordgold said Jan. 18.
Full-year net income attributable to shareholders almost doubled to $168.9 million, while EBITDA rose 55 percent to $574 million. Revenue grew 57 percent to $1.2 billion. Nordgold said it may declare a maiden dividend when it releases interim results.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
