“This first-time payment of a dividend is a significant milestone for Rand and underlines the continued success of the EKJV.
The dividend is in line with Rand’s strategy of beginning to distribute a return to shareholders on a more regular basis while first having regard to the Company’s priorities for cash reserves. Those priorities are:

Meeting all overhead and compliance and regulatory costs; and
-
Enable the Company to review, analyse and secure suitable acquisitions or other opportunities to grow shareholder wealth.
The declaration of future dividends remains at the discretion of the Board and is subject to maintaining the Company’s primary priorities.
The EKJV is located 25km west north west of Kalgoorlie and 47km north east of Coolgardie. The EKJV is between Rand (12.75%), Tribune Resources Ltd (36.75%) and Northern Star Resources Ltd (51%).
