Additionally, ILU expects significant capital program in 2019 for Cataby development and Sierra Rutile expansions and significant tax payments in 2019. The company has declared 10 cents per share fully franked interim dividend payable 27 September 2018, which represents 19% of H1 free cash flow. On the other hand, ILU has announced the rise to rutile resources at the Sembehun Project, which is planned to commission in 2021 and the identification of the Pejebu Exploration Target based on Exploration Results, both with potential to extend the life of current mining operations at its wholly owned Sierra Rutile Limited (SRL) Operations. Meanwhile, ILU stock has fallen 7.85% in three months as on August 15, 2018.
