Marmot, that is a treatise worthy of memorization by every member of Centamin's management team. Perhaps Tibbs will forward a copy...

Not that it directly impacts Centamin's operations, but it might have a trickle down effect when it hits the operating costs of Sukari's industrial supply dealers... 'Egypt's electricity prices are jumping by an average of nearly 21% for households, more than 40% for industry as of the 1 July'

He'll be fine Rebess... hard hats & steel toe boots are required apparel for anyone holding these shares!

Centamin's coffers will be large enough to buy back & cancel every last share... Really, the share price doesn't have to go down a single pence. One call to their corporate brokers and poof the floor is in place...

(excerpts from previous updates) Aug. 2017 ...Centamin currently holds 11 exploration permits and 1 exploitation permit, totaling some 1,428 km2. A further 14 permits, representing a further 1,472km2 have been applied for and are awaiting approval... Nov. 2017 ...Focus has been on the generation of new air core and RC targets for Q4 2017 and 2018-H2 resource growth delivery... Apparently it was management's intention to provide an update on resources in Burkina Faso sometime around now as indicated above... but will they deliver or push it back yet again? Personally I think BF is an important issue if we want to see our share price rise anytime soon. Let's all hold management accountable for the timetables they've already set by; a) expecting a regular follow up on the progress of BF targets, and b) demand clear & honest dialog regarding the likelihood of developing project A vs project B,C or D Every other gold producer takes great pains to lay out a specific growth plan. For the share price to go up investors need to know this current management team can articulate and deliver a plan

This glittery tidbit caught my eye - anybody heard of 3D gold before?! 'Lower budgets amongst millennials have also prompted the jewelry industry to shift to thrift with 3D hard gold technology. A special chemical process makes 3D gold four times harder than 24ct gold. Yet it uses only one-third of the gold that traditional jewelry uses to produce a same-sized piece, making it much more affordable,� the report said...' http://www.kitco.com/news/2018-06-07/Watch-Out-World-s-Largest-Country-Has-Growing-Appetite-For-Gold-Jewelry-World-Gold-Council.html

Yes he must. Like Batman's red phone to the Commissioner's office!

Thanks Tibbs, you the man!

The emails (two) I've sent to investor relations continue to go unanswered - but you seem to have much better luck! Here's my query in a nutshell... exploration drilling stats as of the May 2017 presentation Cote D'Ivoire >85,000m drilled since acquired Burkina Faso >350,000m drilled since acquired After five years of drilling why has there been no a) updated resource at Konkera and b) ANY maiden resources declared from one of the many other projects inside Burkina Faso? We've all seen the BF sample drill results from past presentations and with nearly 400% more drill data (and many more man hours & millions more $ in exploration budget spent) it's incumbent upon shareholders to get a concrete answer from management regarding this omission http://www.centamin.com/~/media/Files/C/Centamin/documents/presentations/Centamin_Investor%20Presentation_May%202017_2.pdf

Rebess, I am next door... across the ocean. It is amazing how we can so easily be invested across the globe and keep in touch with the click of a mouse. (PS You may notice I throw in a *cheers* now and then... it's an easy ploy to keep my British persona alive ! )

For keeping us all informed! TY

It would seem so. I live in Canada so I'm not very familiar with UK foreign policy and their international development goals. I thought it was interesting so I gave it a post, especially considering the article notes the UK accounts for 40% ish of FDI in Egypt. Is this a sign of great confidence in the Sisi reforms? A precursor of greater investment by the UK's global oil giants? The Egyptian gov't is looking to privatize many public corps to reduce its financial woes & raise capital. If their isn't a grander scheme then I don't really understand the UK's unilateral approach - I figured the IMF & World Bank is the usual method of financing projects like this... perhaps we do share the same perspective

The UK will be providing Carbon Holdings� Tahrir Petrochemicals Corporation (TPC) with �an unprecedented� USD 1.6 bn financing package through UK Export Finance, the country�s export credit agency, UK Minister of Investment Graham Stuart told us in an interview in Cairo yesterday. TPC could help double Egypt�s total exports, catalyze industrial growth: �We are excited about Egypt developing its downstream capabilities and supportive of the aspiration that the plant could help double total Egyptian exports,� he said, adding that the project will not only create jobs, but could also serve as a �catalyst for the development of more manufacturing and other labor intensive activities.� The UK government is in the �closing stages� for the financing, he also said. The financing package for TPC is a �show of confidence� in Egypt and its reform program from its �top foreign direct investor,� Stuart said, adding that UK investments round off to 41% of Egypt�s total FDI inflows. to send this bloke your Twitter rants or praise... @grahamstuart Member of Parliament for Beverley & Holderness and Minister for Investment at Department for International Trade

the empty spaces are indeed intentional

Sparkle still on the job! Thanks from all of us :-)

One. Mine. Ah well, this serves as a wake up call. Contingency plans for equipment unavailability must be improved. Perhaps they can buy back some shares on the cheap too...

somebody tell me this is a bad dream - please

Agreed. I love the dividends but I equally value share price appreciation. At some point most long term investors will want to sell shares - even if only to re-balance their portfolio. I hope management wakes up to this realization sooner rather than later! PS I am still waiting for a reply to various questions from the Lady in charge of investor relations at Centamin... I estimate it's been about 6 weeks and counting - wish me luck ;-0

Troubled gold miner Petropavlovsk warns it could have to stump up $234m as debt negotiations with Chinese lender stall. Petropavlovsk has been negotiating for several weeks with the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (ICBC), regarding a $340m project finance facility. The facility is owed by Hong Kong-listed IRC, an iron ore mining company which is 31 per cent owned by Petropavlovsk. Petropavlovsk had guaranteed the multi million-dollar debt, but IRC has said it won't be able to find the funds to make a �35.16m payment due next month. If IRC defaults, Petropavlovsk could have to stump up the entire $234m left of the loan at ICBC's demand. The gold miner said it is pursuing a number of other avenues to make sure this does not happen. One way would be to refinance the whole debt facility, and Petropavlosk said talks �with a leading Russian lender� regarding this option were �well progressed�. http://www.cityam.com/286288/troubled-gold-miner-petropavlovsk-warns-could-have-stump-up
