Peter Hambro says hopes to restart dividends
LONDON, June 18 (Reuters) - Russian gold producer Peter Hambro Plc hopes to be able to resume dividend payments quickly, its chairman said on Thursday.
'We hope to be back in the dividend paying mode as soon as we possibly
can,' Peter Hambro told the Russian and CIS Mining Symposium in London.
'I believe it is a high priority of the board.'
London-listed Hambro, Russia's second biggest gold producer, in April scrapped its final dividend for 2008 to conserve cash.
