Ramelius Resources Limited ( ASX: RMS ) (“ Ramelius ”, “ the Company ”) is pleased to report yet another record financial and operational performance for the Financial Year ending 30 June 2021. Additional information is provided in the Appendix 4E and Financial Statements released today.

The Company reported a Statutory Net Profit after Tax (“ NPAT ”) of A$126.8M and has declared a fully franked dividend of 2.5 cents per share, based on the Company’s established dividend policy.

The underlying NPAT is A$126.4M, after taking into account the Company’s one-off A$3.9M tax loss benefit and exploration asset write-downs of A$3.5M (net of tax).

Ramelius’ extremely strong full year results, as illustrated in the table below, were primarily due to the record gold production as a result of higher grades and higher mill throughput, along with an increase in the realised gold price.

Ramelius Managing Director, Mark Zeptner, today said:

“Once again Ramelius has posted a fantastic result for the year with record gold production and a record net profit after tax which further builds upon last year’s results. This is a testament to the growth strategy pursued by the Company and the continual focus on delivering on our plans.

FY22 is shaping up to be another record year, based on the mid-point of our production guidance, and with the introduction of ore from the Tampia Gold Mine and development of the very high grade Penny underground, the next few years are looking very solid.

Ramelius is proud to also announce a 25% increase in the dividend to 2.5c per share fully franked. This will be the third consecutive dividend for Ramelius shareholders with a total of $43.1M being returned over the last three years.”
