The next quarterly report is next Friday and the half yearly report is on the 27/8/2008. This will probably be the date of the interim dividend announcement. http://www.minara.com.au/investor-centre/events

Below are the last two dividend dates.
Final 15.00 100 03 Mar, 08 25 Mar, 08
Interim 25.00 100 31 Aug, 07 21 Sep, 07

I wouldn't expect the ex-dividend date and pay date to change too much. To receive a dividend you have to hold the shares until the dividend date. Usually the share price drops by the dividend amount on the ex-dividend date.

Comsec currently has the dividend yield @ 10%. The basis for this yield number is: The average of the actual dividend over the last 12 months, and the consensus projected dividend for the next 12 months, all divided by the current price. The dividend yield calculation excludes special dividends.
