Status: Producer
Primary Mineral: Gold
Primary Country of Operation: Egypt

Centamin Egypt Limited is a mineral exploration development and mining company dual listed on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange (LSE:CEY) and the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX:CEE).

Centamin is a rapidly growing gold producer with our flagship project, the Sukari Gold Mine, located in the Eastern Desert of Egypt some 25km from the Red Sea coast. Gold production at Sukari commenced in June 2009 making Sukari the first modern mine in Egypt, a country which in ancient times was a prolific producer of the yellow metal.

In 2011, the mine is estimated to produce 200-210,000 ounces of gold at a cash cost of approximately US$550 per ounce.

With a resource of 10.99 million ounces Measured and Indicated, and 3.5 million ounces Inferred, and a 9.1 million ounce reserve base, the Company is implementing a rapid expansion program to increase production to circa 500,000 oz per year over the next three years. As the first and only significant developer of a modern mine in the country, the Company remains well positioned to realize further opportunities in other areas within its concession and expand into other prospective mineralized zones.

The Company’s unhedged and debt free position, coupled with a growing resource and reserve base in a relatively unexplored region, positions it to grow and deliver superior results to its shareholders as well as its stakeholders.
