Commenting on the financial results Metals X, Executive Director and CEO, Peter Cook said:
"The Company's results are even more significant when you consider that these financial results only reflects eight months of ownership of the new gold production assets. We are in a great position with strong and commodity diverse cash flows, a fat bank balance, no debt and an exciting portfolio of growth assets."
The Board of Metals X has reviewed its ability to declare a dividend and elected not to do so at this instance. Whilst in a position to commence returning funds to shareholders, the Board considers that given the large number of development projects the Company has and the value accretive acquisition opportunities that are currently being assessed, the Company's cash may be better served in generating growth and returns. Further, the Company has a large amount of available tax losses with limited franking credits and the tax effectiveness of the dividends would not be maximised for all shareholders.
