LONDON (Alliance News) - Highland Gold Mining Ltd is to pay a 5 pence second interim dividend for 2018, the company said on Thursday.
This payout, at the exchange rate Highland is using, is equal to 6 US cents, flat compared to the first interim dividend paid in 2018.
Exactly a year ago, Highland said it had adopted a new dividend policy. Its full year payout would be equal to 20% of net cash flow. In 2017, it paid a total of 10.40p in dividends, flat year-on-year.
