Caledonia Mining

Caledonia Mining Corporation operates as a mining, exploration, and development company focused on Southern Africa. Caledonia's primary asset is a 49% interest in the Blanket Mine in Zimbabwe which produced over 42,800 ounces of gold in 2015 at a cash cost of US$701/oz. Blanket Mine, ZimbabweThe Blanket gold mine re-started production in April 2009 after a temporary shut-down due to the economic difficulties in Zimbabwe. In late 2010, Blanket successfully completed an expansion project which increased production capacity from 24,000 ounces of gold per annum to 40,000 ounces of gold per annum. As an indigenized entity, Blanket can implement its long term growth strategy. The Blanket board, which includes representatives of the Indigenous Zimbabwean shareholders, approved a capital investment program for a 4 year growth strategy for 2014 to 2017. This investment program, which was endorsed by the Caledonia Board, is estimated at US$65 million, will be funded from Blanket's internally generated cash, and is expected to result in progressive increases in gold production. Blanket is engaged in the exploration of the down-dip extensions of the known ore bodies and the first two satellite exploration projects which are within trucking distance of the Blanket metallurgical recovery plant. Blanket's metallurgical plant has substantial surplus capacity. Increased production arising from increased mining throughput could, therefore, be processed with moderate capital investment and incurring only consumable costs to treat any increased throughput. Caledonia has a strong, experienced management team and Board of Directors with diverse expertise in gold production, exploration, mine development, finance, and marketing. Caledonia's management team is based in Johannesburg, South Africa, and Jersey, Channel Islands. Caledonia paid its initial dividend in February 2012.

The quarterly dividend of 1.125 US cents is Caledonia's revised policy and represents an annual dividend of 4.5 US cents. The Caledonia Board will continue to review dividends which will depend on the performance of the company and its capital investment requirements.
