Frequently asked questions

We believe investors in gold mining companies should see a direct benefit from the gold produced. We have a dividend policy of whenever possible paying a semiannual dividend equivalent to 50% of the Group’s after-tax earnings.

As one of the lowest cost, highest margin producers in the sector, our investors continue to be rewarded through growing dividends.

Visit our Dividends page for a list of declared dividends and further information.

Evolution Mining is listed on the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX) and its ticker symbol is EVN. More information can be found here.

Gold mining is an inherently risky business. We minimise our exposure to the rise in geopolitical risk by strategically focusing on operating in the lower risk, tier 1 jurisdictions of Australia and Canada.

We believe up to eight assets is the right number to have in our portfolio to ensure focus is maintained on getting the most out of each asset. Mines can be unpredictable so having a portfolio of mines smooths out operational performance and delivers investors more predictability and reliability.

Our strategy also focuses on upgrading the quality of the portfolio over time. Improving quality is determined by reducing costs and extending mine life. This can be achieved either through buying better quality assets at attractive valuations or by divesting shorter life, higher cost assets.

Our goal is for all our operating mines to be cash flow positive. We use hedging to fund capital programs or manage balance sheet risk. In the past we have hedged production to ensure an asset remains cash flow positive through a major development period or to de-risk the balance sheet when we have elevated debt through acquisition funding.

Our aim is to differentiate our company through innovation, incremental improvements and excellent operational discipline to deliver value for our stakeholders. We look for groundbreaking ideas to transform the company’s ounce and cost profile.

Our focus on innovation rather than invention allows us to be fast firsts rather than fast followers. We believe this approach will extend our competitive advantage within the mining industry.

We recognise our people for ‘Acting Like an Owner’, generating value for Evolution and caring for the environment. This includes initiatives such as making substantive cost reductions, delivering operational excellence through change innovation and improving our safety performance.

We believe we have an obligation to create shared value for all our stakeholders. This is measured as much by the superior returns we deliver to our shareholders as by the positive legacies we leave in our communities and the people whose lives we enrich.

Evolution seeks to deliver long-term benefits to local communities and other stakeholders through engagement and collaboration, and by understanding the social impacts of our activities, mitigating negative effects and achieving outcomes of mutual benefit.

Building and maintaining strong, supportive relationships and partnerships with local people in the areas where we operate drives value creation for both Evolution and the community.
