Published on 5 Jul 2016

"That higher dividend will be paid at the end of July and we expect that to be he new base for the dividend going forward,... still keeping quite a lot of gas in the tank to allow us flexibility to do other things" he says.

Learmonth said the company is in a position where their cash generation has improved substantially but notes the dividend increase is not a result of higher gold prices or windfall gains. "That is helpful, but even if the gold price had stayed at 1050-1100, our cash generation would be improving significantly. This dividend is underpinned by consistent, solid delivery against the plan that we have outlined nearly two years ago" he says.
