Apologies for perhaps scaring you a little bit. - It's a long story so I won't burden your thoughts/judgement with it. - It's possible the MM's have been juggling with accommodating the 2m purchase.
Look at what it mines!
Hoc up 16%
Fuel cost is a consideration but that is one reason why Cey have been installing solar energy long before the rise in oil price. SP needs to cstch up here with how PoG has increased
perhaps concern about cost inflation due to rampant oil price...I see a decent buy order of 2m has gone through which is a confident sign
What old tricks?
I am a new investor so I would appreciate any information.
SP: - Odd showing today - I hope they are not up to their old-tricks. - Let's see how the day unfolds.
I mentioned recently that a small dividend increase of 1c this time round would be a postive thing. I know that profits are down and there is not as much money in the chest, but with the recent increase in gold price and the solar coming on line, I think this would send out a good message.
Without going over the past (Yes you Mr T :-) ) and what happened, Centamin used to be known for doing better than the estimates.
I think now Martin Horgan has been around a bit and started to get things in place, that a small increase in the dividend now might send out a message to the market that things are starting to look up at Centamin.
HOC up 11.25%
CEY down 0.75%
The rate of increase over a month is eye popping.
Why is CEY performing so badly compared to other gold miners?
You know what happens when the hammer hits the anvil.... there will be some wild oscillations, but hopefully there will be a better outcome ... but sometimes one is surprised?
I expect gold to rise...
More wild swings across everything- FTSE almost below 6800 again and then in the blink of an eye almost back at 7000... CEY almost 110 then testing 105... keep the faith, gold dropped to ~1960 yesterday, then just before open ~2021!
Go figure :)
Gold $50 from setting a new ATH - $2,020 right now.
Late H1 2022. I imagine a better update is due at the FY results later this month.

Blackrock incr holding from 4.87 to 5.2%
... yesterday.
So gold is well up but unfortunately oil is too so our costs are increasing dramatically; does anyone know when the solar plant will be complete and producing power for us?
No matter what the short term chatter in gold prices is the gold futures graphs are very interesting

The price of nickel traded in London rocketed as much as 90 per cent to a record high as fears of a Russian supply shock .... short-term squeeze in one of the wildest sessions in living memory.
The metal, which is a key component in lithium-ion batteries and stainless steel, leapt to nearly $US55,000 a tonne, surging past the previous record of $US51,800 reached in 2007. It settled at $US50,925 a tonne, up 76 per cent, marking the largest single day gain for nickel in the three-month LME contract’s history.
good quality nickel deposits are in very short supply as well...
Expect over the longer term, this is where the price has to head for nickel ...
get set, go
Equities on European stock markets were below the flatline in the premarket on Tuesday after Russia and Ukraine held another round of talks to resolve the outstanding issues between the two countries without a major breakthrough. Today, the two eastern European neighbors will be looking to finally implement their agreement on civilian evacuation. Meanwhile, concerns about the effect the sanctions against Russia may have on Western economies seemingly continued to dominate sentiment on all global markets.
The DAX declined 1.85%, London's FTSE 100 decreased by 1.07%, and the CAC 40 lost 1.74% at 8:00 am CET.
The euro was 0.09% lower against the dollar at 7:59 am CET, trading at 1.08601. The British pound was flat compared to the American currency, going for 1.31029 at the same time.

Ditch Russian oil, I’ll walk!
And a through minutes later through$2020.
It will almost certainly fall back but we are seeing lower lows and higher high which is clearly very bullish.
Gold just through $2010 so up 1.5% on when London stock market closed yesterday. Should be a good opening for CEY.
The price of gold broke through $2,000 an ounce on Monday as London’s market suspended the sale of Russian bars.

Here is a look at the supply side from exploration in gold...and it is going to get a lot worse!

Its not so much commodities are running out, but it is a case ...
1. that the mining head grades are decreasing and costs are increasing. So it follows that the price of commodities are going to go up or it will be uneconomic to mine, and furthermore
2. the prices are so low, such that the reward is too small, for the risk which is now signficantly increasing in exploration away from mines, HENCE EXPLORATION will now SOON NOT be justifiable or investable, and GREENFIELDS WITH A PROBABILITY OF LESS THAN 1/1000 WILL BE OUT OF THE QUESTION.
3. The risks are getting significantly greater every year. Technical risks as we dig deeper, environmental risks, change of government risk, change of legislature (see my post on the TITLE FIGHT), access to water..all compounding...
4. The Mining industry is (and will not) NOT seen as a go to employer for smart young people. Go to low carbon, feet under the desk, comfortable int he city jobs hitting a key board....
So now the risks are increasing year on, the mines and cost of mining is increasing, the grades are decreasing, the mines are getting deeper, The rewards need to go up, and this means the commodity prices will have to go up to keep pace. mine margins (notable exception of Iron Ore) need to stabilise or get better. The Miing industry badly needs to attract bright people..very few in the industry is my take.
Why bother on a punt on some 2 bit junior exploration company in the DRC, when you can stay at home and invest in the latest crypto?
"Sydney-based crypto platform Immutable has soared to a $3.5 billion valuation after closing a $280 million funding round, led by Singaporean sovereign fund Temasek, with money from gaming star Animoca Brands and Chinese tech and video gaming giant Tencent. The funding round comes just six months after Immutable raised $82 million and also includes investments from local venture capital firms AirTree Ventures and King River Capital, which both have dedicated web3 investment funds. Robbie Ferguson, who co-founded the company with his brother James and engineer Alex Connolly in 2018, said the fresh capital will mostly be used to expand the fast-growing team and snap up other crypto businesses."
THats a ten bagger in 3 years or a bit more ... the mining industry will not be able to compete for the investor $$$, unless a few significant things happen, and cant see it myself.
So companies with proven reserves, know major mineralisation event, good managment, good board will do very very well.
good luck all

The mining speculators...will battle ...

MrBond - you've been quiet recently so I thought you buried the hatchet? No such luck.
My point is Aton confirms Barrick's upper management did come to Egypt during the same time period our CEO visited Sukari - a point you've repeatedly try to discount and refute.
Why? Who are you Mr Bond? Genuine Centamin shareholders would like to know.
