Personally I think that Mokopane and brownfield are linked which may be the reason that, whilst FM has been beating the drum of brownfield for some time, there has been no movement on this. It will be when it will be as this is currently out of our hands (although the longer we wait the more likely that this can be funded from cash resources which would be quite astonishing).
The dividend policy, however, is entirely in our hands so it would be disappointing if this was not forthcoming before the year end. Note I say 'policy' as it is highly unlikely that a dividend will come before the year. However, in my experience there is not a long gap between the policy announcement and the actual award.
AAZ is the most recent one that I come back to and they announced the policy in July, carried out a capital reduction in August, announced a maiden dividend in September and paid it in November. It went from 40p to 70p on the back of the announcement and has carried on rising since (currently 80p).
