Nov 2 (Reuters) - Kinross Gold Corp K.TO , the world's fifth-biggest gold miner, returned to a third-quarter profit on Wednesday helped by a stronger gold price and slightly higher production.
The Toronto-based miner said net earnings were $2.5 million, or zero a share, in the three months to end-September. That compared with a net loss of $52.7 million, or 5 cents a share, in the same period a year ago.
