Shareholder Returns Policy

Our core business, the mining industry, is an extremely long-term business, starting with research and development before moving on to subsequent operations spanning several decades or more. During that time, profits will vary due to changes in economic and business conditions, fluctuations in the price of resources, and other factors
In order to achieve sustained growth, we must be prepared for large-scale investment in the future, given not only the nature of our business, meaning the considerable size of investments for mine development and long investment recovery cycles, and the start of new mine development in light of mineral depletion at existing mines
As a result, our basic policy has been to pay stable dividends over the long term while maintaining an optimal balance between equity and shareholder returns
