Russia's Polyus Gold recommends not to pay 2013 dividend

MOSCOW, March 26 (Reuters) - Russia's biggest gold miner Polyus Gold PGIL.L said on Wednesday its board had recommended not to pay a dividend for 2013.

Polyus Gold, part-owned by businessman Suleiman Kerimov, posted an 85 percent fall in full-year profit on Tuesday, hit by a $472 million impairment charge because of the plunge in gold prices last year.
