It's a cold day in hell when mining.com mentions us. Light the stove, I feel a chill. http://www.mining.com/centamin-jumps-on-better-than-expected-gold-output-estimates/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter

Sisi has achieved nearly universal support from parliament... Mohamed Elsewedy, head of the pro-government Support Egypt coalition � parliament�s largest bloc � boasted that 497 MPs out of a total of 596 have signed forms endorsing President Abdel Fattah El Sisi�s bid for a second term Looking ahead to his second term there's no excuse for not getting things done

But I have to remember 'The�underground�resource�is�located�within�the�boundaries�of�the�total�resource,�and�is�included�within�that�total.' So none of the exceptional drill results below the ultimate pit shell are included in this update, which is something remarkable but never clearly articulated.

How is it they needed an extra day? Oh well... But considering we'll find out the dividend We should also be able to surmise if any mine(s) are in the pipe A supersized dividend would be unfortunate as I know we all want to see risk spread out across several jurisdictions asap

Let's see who owns it... https://www.logomoose.com/featured/mining-egypt/

Oh dear, Yousef needs to keep his lips sealed. It doesn't do the company's reputation any good with competing figures bandied about the Egyptian media.

Yes sir, 86%. I even added up the figures twice - comparing the last Siko post to the second last Siko post. I suppose we'll know for sure soon enough!

Has anyone else done a follow up on Siko's shipments for the year - I'm terrible with numbers so I got 565,336 ounces (that's excluding the odd 200kg maybe yes, maybe no shipment)
