The distinction between quarterly dividends and special dividends is important. Quarterly dividends are paid out of retained earnings; special dividends are usually paid with cash generated by a windfall event. In this case, that might be the supposed sale of the San Pedro mine.

The definitions are specific, and companies are expected to get them right.
