(TSX:CAL)(OTCQX:CALVF)(AIM:CMCL) -
CFO Mark Learmonth tells Proactive Investors that the company has
increased the quarterly dividend by 22% while it delivers on its growth
strategy.
"That higher dividend will be paid at the end of July and we expect
that to be he new base for the dividend going forward,... still keeping
quite a lot of gas in the tank to allow us flexibility to do other
things" he says.

Learmonth said the company is in a position where their cash generation
has improved substantially but notes the dividend increase is not a
result of higher gold prices or windfall gains.
"That is helpful, but even if the gold price had stayed at 1050-1100,
our cash generation would be improving significantly.
This dividend is underpinned by consistent, solid delivery against
the plan that we have outlined nearly two years ago" he says.

Caledonia Mining Corp (LON:CMCL, TSE:CAL)
cheered investors with a 22% increase in the annual dividend,
reflecting confidence that earnings and cash flow will increase.

The operator of the Blanket gold mine in Zimbabwe declared an increased
quarterly payout to US$0.01375 a share, representing an annualised
dividend of 5.5 cents per share compared to the previous annualised
dividend of 4.5 cents.

Chief Executive Steve Curtis, said: "The declaration of the increased
dividend reflects the company's confidence that its earnings and cash
generation will increase.

"In late March 2016, production started from the Blanket ore bodies
below 750 meters following completion of the No. 6 Winze.

"In March 2016, the decline development into the AR South ore body
below 750 meters was also completed and further improved
Blanket's operational flexibility.
I am now increasingly confident that the projected production targets
of 50,000 ounces in 2016 and 65,000 ounces in 2017 will be realised.

"The planned increases in production in 2016 and 2017 are expected to
result in a lower average cost of production as fixed costs are
spread across an increased number of gold ounces.

"Approximately 80 per cent of Blanket's costs and 100 per cent of
Caledonia's costs are fixed and the marginal cost is
approximately $160 per ounce."
