The Australian Financial Review --- Page: 10
There are calls for mining groups in Australia to return excess capital to shareholders. Some groups want to see the miners hand back cash in the form of higher dividends. Both Rio Tinto and BHP Billiton are under pressure to pay special dividends. Some analysts believe that these groups will offer share buybacks instead of special dividends. They predict that mid-tier miners such as Zinifex and Minara Resources are more likely to pay increased dividends. BHP Billiton is poised to report bumper earnings for the first half of 2006-07.
