Annual Dividend
Perth, Feb 10, 2022 AEST (ABN Newswire) - Image Resources NL (
ASX:IMA) is pleased to announce its intention to pay a 2 cent fully franked dividend once the Calendar Year (CY) 2021 annual financial results have been finalised.
Results are expected to be announced in the first half of March with the dividend expected to be paid as soon as practicable thereafter, but likely towards the end of April 2022.
Dividend
Strong provisional financial results and continuing strong demand for the Company's HMC product with resulting increases in average prices, margins and cashflow being generated, are the catalysts that have allowed the Board to consider and confirm the Company's intention to pay a fully franked dividend of $0.02 per share (Prior Year: unfranked $0.02 per share) as soon as practical, with details and relevant paperwork expected to be dispatched to shareholders after the finalisation and announcement of CY2021 results.
Managing Director Patrick Mutz commented, "CY2021 results reflect the strong performance of our operating team, and when combined with continuing high demand for our HMC and positive market outlook for zircon, in particular, this has allowed the Board to confirm its intention to pay a fully franked two-cent per share dividend. In addition, our strong balance sheet, debt-free position and healthy cash balance, has allowed the Company to advance progress on its growth strategy, including the acquisition of a strategic package of mineral sands tenements in the historic Eneabba mining district, advancing pre-development activities at Atlas and Bidaminna, and expanding our gold interests through the King Farmin Prospect.
We look forward to another exciting year of success."
