Sibanye Gold declares R785m dividend

Johannesburg- and New York-listed precious metals mining company Sibanye Gold on Thursday reported strong financial results for the six months ended June 30, driven mainly by a higher rand gold price and underpinned by solid production from both the gold and platinum divisions. Sibanye's declaration of an 85c-a-share interim dividend totalling R785-million is well up on the 10c-a-share interim dividend of R91-million declared in the corresponding six months of last year and is approaching the 100c-a-share, R917-million for the full 2015 year.
