Caledonia Mining Corporation PLC (LON:CMCL) produced just over 25,000 ounces of gold in the first half of 2017, at an all-in sustaining cost of US$856 per ounce.

Operating cash flow during the second quarter of the year amounted to US$4.7 mln.

It’s envisaged that the current dividend of US$0.275 cents per annum will be maintained.

The company remains on track to boost production to 80,000 ounces per year by 2021.
