Dividend Policy

Nevsun is well positioned to fund growth and provide a dividend return to shareholders. As such, the Board initiated a semi-annual dividend of $0.03 per common share ($0.06 annually) on May 18, 2011 only three months after declaring commercial production at the Bisha mine.

The dividend was increased November 21, 2011 on strong performance from the operations.


Dividend Per Share Record Date Payment Date
$0.05 December 31, 2011 January 15, 2012
$0.03 June 30, 2011 July 15, 2011

Nevsun dividends qualify as an 'eligible dividend' for Canadian income tax purposes.
