Meanwhile, Africa-focused oil group Afren was the worst performer, pulling back after yesterday's impressive surge on the back of a significant new off-shore oil find.Tanzania-focused gold producer African Barrick Gold fell after seeing production drop 11% in the final three months of last year compared to the same period of 2010.
