Caledonia Mining Corporation Plc
Caledonia declares quarterly dividend
(NYSE AMERICAN: CMCL; AIM: CMCL; VFEX: CMCL)
St Helier, December 30, 2022 - Caledonia Mining Corporation Plc
("Caledonia" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that the
Board of Directors has declared a quarterly dividend of 14 United
States cents (US$0.14) on each of the Company's shares.
Commenting on the announcement, Mark Learmonth, Chief Executive
Officer, said:
"In January 2022, the Company announced that it was looking to
evolve the business with a strategic pivot in the future direction
of Caledonia as it pursues its strategy to become a multi-asset
gold producer. At that time, we had recently announced the purchase
of the Maligreen claims and during the course of the year we made
significant advances in this area, culminating in the publication
of an updated technical report on Maligreen last month [1] . In
July, we announced that the Company had signed an agreement to
purchase Bilboes Gold Limited; and a few months later the Company
acquired Motapa Mining Company UK Limited, the ultimate holding
company of an exploration project adjacent to Bilboes.
"This was achieved alongside three record quarters of production
and we are on track to achieve the top end of our 2022 production
guidance of between 73,000 and 80,000 ounces of gold [2] . The
Company has come a long way in the last 12 months as we continue to
pursue our strategy of becoming a multi asset gold producer."
The relevant dates relating to the dividend are as follows:
-- Ex-dividend date VFEX: January 11, 2023
-- Ex-dividend date AIM and NYSE: January 12, 2023
-- Record date: January 13, 2023
-- Payment date: January 27, 2023
Shareholders with a registered address in the UK will be paid in
Sterling.
Caledonia's Dividend Policy
Caledonia's strategy to maximise shareholder value includes a
quarterly dividend policy which the Board adopted in 2014. The
Board will consider future increases in the dividend as appropriate
in line with its prudent approach to risk management.

the meaning of applicable securities legislation that involve risks
and uncertainties relating, but not limited, to Caledonia's current
expectations, intentions, plans, and beliefs. Forward-looking
information can often be identified by forward-looking words such
as "anticipate", "believe", "expect", "goal", "plan", "target",

negative of these terms or similar words suggesting future
outcomes, or other expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives,
assumptions, intentions or statements about future events or
performance. Examples of forward-looking information in this news
release include: production guidance, estimates of future/targeted
production rates, and our plans and timing regarding further
exploration and drilling and development. This forward-looking
information is based, in part, on assumptions and factors that may
change or prove to be incorrect, thus causing actual results,
performance or achievements to be materially different from those
expressed or implied by forward-looking information. Such factors
and assumptions include, but are not limited to: failure to
establish estimated resources and reserves, the grade and recovery
of ore which is mined varying from estimates, success of future
exploration and drilling programs, reliability of drilling,
sampling and assay data, assumptions regarding the
representativeness of mineralization being inaccurate, success of
planned metallurgical test-work, capital and operating costs
varying significantly from estimates, delays in obtaining or
failures to obtain required governmental, environmental or other
project approvals, inflation, changes in exchange rates,
fluctuations in commodity prices, delays in the development of
projects and other factors.
Security holders, potential security holders and other
prospective investors should be aware that these statements are
subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors
that could cause actual results to differ materially from those
suggested by the forward-looking statements. Such factors include,
but are not limited to: risks relating to estimates of mineral
reserves and mineral resources proving to be inaccurate,
fluctuations in gold price, risks and hazards associated with the
business of mineral exploration, development and mining, risks
relating to the credit worthiness or financial condition of
suppliers, refiners and other parties with whom the Company does
business; inadequate insurance, or inability to obtain insurance,
to cover these risks and hazards, employee relations; relationships
with and claims by local communities and indigenous populations;
political risk; risks related to natural disasters, terrorism,
civil unrest, public health concerns (including health epidemics or
outbreaks of communicable diseases such as the coronavirus
(COVID-19)); availability and increasing costs associated with
mining inputs and labour; the speculative nature of mineral
exploration and development, including the risks of obtaining or
maintaining necessary licenses and permits, diminishing quantities
or grades of mineral reserves as mining occurs; global financial
condition, the actual results of current exploration activities,
changes to conclusions of economic evaluations, and changes in
project parameters to deal with unanticipated economic or other
factors, risks of increased capital and operating costs,
environmental, safety or regulatory risks, expropriation, the
Company's title to properties including ownership thereof,
increased competition in the mining industry for properties,
equipment, qualified personnel and their costs, risks relating to
the uncertainty of timing of events including targeted production
rate increase and currency fluctuations. Security holders,
potential security holders and other prospective investors are
cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking
information. By its nature, forward-looking information involves
numerous assumptions, inherent risks and uncertainties, both
general and specific, that contribute to the possibility that the
predictions, forecasts, projections and various future events will
not occur. Caledonia undertakes no obligation to update publicly or
otherwise revise any forward-looking information whether as a
result of new information, future events or other such factors
which affect this information, except as required by law.
