Shareholders in Caledonia Mining Corporation ( LON:CMCL ), the operator of the Blanket mine in Zimbabwe, are to receive their first dividend, the company announced today. Blanket has hit record levels of production recently and the 0.5c dividend reflects the sustainable and significant cash flow now being generated by the company, the miner said. Analysts say Blanket is now one of the lowest cost gold producers in both Africa and the world and has the potential to produce 70,000 ounces per year from 2015.
