Stable operations support the current free cashflow generation that more than covers best in class shareholder payouts.<\/li>\n<li>History of dividend payments. The longer Amerigo keeps paying such an attractive dividend, the more confidence investors will have in the sustainability of the dividend.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>The company&#8217;s net cash position, 2.5x cashflow coverage of the dividend and guidance beating production already give us confidence the dividend payout will continue.
