The following are key highlights for the fiscal year:
- The annual royalty income for the year ended June 30, 2013 was $15.7 million compared to $23.5 million last year. The royalty income was impacted by lower commodity prices over the period as well as the lower grades and higher mining and processing costs over the period.
- $3.9 million was paid out in dividends to shareholders.
- Cash on hand at June 30, 2013 was $24,883,295 (compared to $29,464,334 million at June 30, 2012).
- Five transactions were completed and two exploration alliances were created.
- The 2012-2013 Annual Information Form has been prepared and is available for viewing on SEDAR and the Callinan website.
Roland Butler, CEO commented "Though annual royalty income is lower due to several coinciding factors, Callinan remains a profitable, dividend-paying royalty company with no debt and a healthy treasury. The Company is in strong financial condition as it pursues attractive investment opportunities that have become available in the current market."
On Behalf of the Board of Directors,
