Hi Dasut,
Great to hear from you again!
I was unaware that you had already posted an explanation about the content structure of today's presentation.
Possibly it will take a few days before the analysts offer any opinions?
I recall your queries in the past on the issues you have explained in such an easy to understand fashion today!
Agree Dasut
The key is confidence. - Confidence can only be restored when ounces and profits improve, targets met and it starts to do what it says on the tin. - Until it happens, it doesn't matter how much verbage is flying around, the mindset of the market and the P/E ratio will be influenced more by past history. IMO
Hi Candid, Somnamna & other members,
As I said on first impressions it all seemed very positive for the future, however it was clearly aimed at analysts and geologists ,so not at all easy for many of us ordinary retails investors to understand.
Cowichan or Mr Gnome will no doubt be able to decipher much of the technical details and possibly then post some simplified highlight's or bullet point's points that are more relevant and easily understood by the majority of share holders.
Depending on their workload I will also see if I can get a mining analyst contact to offer their opinion the presentation.
Today's briadcast reinforced the case for dedicated retail investors forum!
Somnamna I think you are among the majority as the presentation was technical for the layman investor hence the total lack of interest by the majority of investors and the SP doing absolutely nothing.
It was a presentation meant for those who understand the difference between working to focus on the grades without taking account of the implications governed by the geology, in simple terms understanding if you move a brick from a wall you can see through but if it collapses not only can you no longer see through you now have considerably more bricks to move if you aren't trapped underneath.
I did say simple terms but past experiences at Sukari tells me the new management are putting in grown up professional strategies as against amateurs playing at big business.
It answers some questions that were nagging at and annoying me.
As far as the SP is concerned I can only see an improvement when management announce improved ounces and higher profits that the majority of investors actually understand.
Well read the slides of the presentation but I couldn't glean any more additional information than from what was in the interim accounts ..although I don't think the extra 2 million ounces was mentioned
Not speaking for Mr T but I didn't understand much.
Lookimg forward to the seeing it translated into simple terms
Mr T .
What was your take on the presentation .
Was it better than you had hoped or did it leave you unimpressed ?
Your views appreciated
If it were any other mining company no doubt there would have have been a much more positive effect on the share price!
Pardey certainly did a very thorough job of destroying the markets confidence in Centamin!
I missed it, being in the wrong time zone, and traveling with my wife ?! Tried to login but the web site said to wait for the archive, which I am doing. Talk is good, and goals are better (dates, things) but walking the atlk and meeting the gioals is what has to happen

What I can't understand is that the life of the nine was already about 10-12 years before this discovery , now it is still 10 years so what has changed ..unless it will result in an uptick in production ? .
Perhaps I am being ignorant or unduly critical but I am underwhelmed by this statement (and so it appears) is the market) although it tends to take several days for the market to fully digest the information and react accordingly
What I am hoping for, is a positive update on Doropo project which has the potential for a further 5 million ounces I think ..the two of them together will amount to some very positive news which will give sufficient time for new resources to be found , although I think it will be quarter 2 of 2022 before we know that ?
I am keen to hear what the geologists on this site think about the news.
Ah I see- just read it on their website- not done anything positive for the SP so far, let's hope this changes throughout the day- fingers crossed
Ah I’ve now read it on their website- so far not done much for the SP! Fingers crossed this changes to the positive throughout the day
Razor, I didn’t see this RNS?
GEOLOGY AT THE CORE OF OUR BUSINESS
MARTIN HORGAN, CEO, COMMENTED: "Today we are setting out our approach to the geological management of Centamin's assets and how this underpins our vision of becoming a multi-asset gold producer. Our focused geology campaign over the last 12 months, led by a revitalised geological leadership team, has highlighted the tremendous opportunities in the business and potential in our assets. We believe we can deliver an additional 3Moz of reserves through organic growth over the next 24 months, including extending the Sukari underground life of mine to 10 years."
Centamin is hosting a virtual capital markets webcast today, Thursday 23 September 2021, for investors and analysts. The event will be hosted by Martin Horgan, CEO, Craig Barker, Group Mineral Resource Manager, and Howard Bills, Head of Exploration, with the presentation starting at 10.00 am BST (UK time). Martin, Craig and Howard will deliver a technical presentation focusing on Centamin's approach to geology and exploration, framing the embedded growth opportunities within the business.

A positive charge to the share price, I expect.
Equities in Europe traded higher in the premarket session on Thursday, as investors waited for the latest data reports to give an indication of the state of the economy. Meanwhile, the European Central Bank will also comment on the economy in its latest economic bulletin.
The CAC 40 rose 0.38% at 7:36 am CET. The DAX increased 0.38% at 7:37 am CET, while the FTSE 100 traded 0.36% in the green at the same time.
The euro gained 0.21% on the dollar trading for $1.17116 at am CET, while the pound traded 0.20% higher against the American currency going for $1.36458 concurrently.

Unfortunately for share holders Pardey was over promoted well above his comfort zone and capabilities, even more unfortunate was that the board allowed him to to stay in post for so long when concerns were already being flagged by analyst's in 2016 of impending low grade problems and questioning Pardey's policy of high grading of the Sukari open for short term gain!
As all to often happens in these situations professional failings,incompetence, possibly even deliberate concealment of the true facts by a CEO were allowed to carry on for far too long, another 4 years in fact of of erratic Sukari production with lame excuses for failing to hit guidance, possibly as already stated because to take action would cast some doubt on the performance of the management board itself, so as all too often happens to avoid loss of face or embarrassment, even a admission of failure by the board, instead a golden goodbye handshake is awarded for the culprit's failure's ,rather than a honest boot up the ar(se out the door!
Hi Mr Gnome,
Such a shame that so many of this regions presidents and the political elite are so greedy and care nothing about their own poor people.
Middle Eastern authorities could do more by controlling the export of illegally mined gold, but then so could the Western authorities and regulators, there's just not the will.
Surely a united nations task force should have been deployed to the Sahel as soon as it became apparent that the Jihadists and extremists were terrorising the local people and had taken control of the area and in order to operate illegal gold mining on such a scale?
Thanks Cowichan
The terribly incomplicated thing in Burkina is that if you are poor you have very little chance...unless you pick up a gun.
If you are a poor woman, well...a lot less of a chance.
If the terrorists and poor robbers don't do you over, the rich robbers will.
Fills me with despair.
And dont ever wind me up about the International Criminal Court...still no satisfaction on the assasination of President Thomas Sankara,
the Gnome
Thanks for sharing. Just goes to show the situation in Burkina has always been complicated!

I think one has to be careful as to what is happening
1. No scientific report has been produced to the owners off CEY as to the Geomet. Where were the samples taken, how did they know the samples were representative and so on...
2. No map has been provided to owners (us) as to what tenements are still owned by the owners.
3. There are gold occurrences north of Konkera, which are along a crustal scale NS fault. These were held and mined by relatives of the past President fo Burkina Faso. [ The presidents relatives reportedly ran a thriving gold business (which benefited them and not the populace), and rumour is they captured all of the gold from the small scale and artisinal mining groups in Burkina. Sadly a lot of the small scale mining in the northern parts of the country went into other hands https://www.reuters.com/article/us-gold-africa-islamists-special-report-idUSKBN1XW11F Sadly most of the small scale gold is smuggled out of the country illegally, avoiding benefit to the people. Sadly Burkina Faso remiains impoverished. https://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/gold-africa-smuggling/ ]
But if it was not for large scale gold mining the country wold be a lot lot poorer.
Enough said.

There is smoe new assay technology, which cold greatly aid CEY and any gold miner. Enables parts per billion gold assays, same day for a greatly reduced cost.

Knowing where gold is, in real time almost, increase engagemeng and allows one ot find gold a lot quicker

Thats interesting if CEY have droped all of the ground, becuase there are different styles of gold mineralisation in the Batie area. I have not seen any believable evidence that it all is refractory. I could have missed something. But then again so cold they, and I have seen many times that companies have based their Geomet on less than 0.001% of the total volume of the resources. Syama was a famous cse in point, done by no other than BHP

Cancel that fleeting sentiment:
“ The price of gold retains the series of higher highs and lows from earlier this week as the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) stays on track to “increase its holdings of Treasury securities by at least $80 billion per month and of agency mortgage-backed securities by at least $40 billion per month,” and bullion may stage a lager recovery over the remainder of the month as the decision by Chairman Jerome Powell and Co. drags on US Treasury yields.
Nevertheless, it seems as though the FOMC is preparing to switch gears later this year as “the Committee judges that a moderation in the pace of asset purchases may soon be warranted,” and Fed officials may lay out a more detailed strategy before the end of the year as Chairman Powell reveals that the central bank could start tapering its quantitative easing (QE) program ‘as soon as the next meeting.’”
I really appreciate your words of support.
As I stated before it's unclear if these recently announced Altair Resource concessions are the same as previously held and worked Centamin concessions - but the fact that they're only 35km from the Batie resource we still need to sell means it's worth hearing from Centamin one way or another.
Centamin has admitted they no longer hold the Wadaradoo & Napelapara concessions (an admission it took years to whittle out of them) - that means somebody else is going to benefit from all the drilling done on those sites and surrounding areas. That in itself is a great loss to us and will be a great gain to some third party - whoever that third party might be...
