Werner Klingenberg, CEO of Goldplat commented: "I am encouraged by the continued strong results achieved by the group (supported by good volumes and high gold price) and Group being in a position to start paying regular dividends.
We remain focussed on strengthening our control of the outcome on the TSF, maintaining and increasing market share, improving recoveries and margins in Ghana, unlocking potential in other precious metals in South Africa and maximising value from the current high gold price, whilst returning value to shareholders on a regular basis.
There is still significant work to be completed but all our efforts will create a more robust business providing a niche solution to the industry it operates in."
