Capital Markets Day - Excellent CEO Strategy2 Dec 2020 21:12
It was an exemplary performance by Martin Hogan, CEO, today. Articulated very well the strategy ahead.
Key taken aways - new senior management team in place. 3 former highly experienced Torro employees. Sukari confirmed as a worldclass mine however is below industry standard in operations. Immediate target to bring it to international standard. Focus on disciplined, best practice and accountabilities.
Major open pit mining drilling outsourced to Capital Drilling. Martin has been impressed by the team.
Sukari production forecast are conservative lots of upside potential.
Numibian gold prospects the best in the world. Sukari is well placed to maximise opportunities. Blocks awarded are both near Sukari and further away.
A $100M cost savings to be realised in the next 18 months.
An experienced team bought into review West Africa and with a stategic decision to be taken in Q1 2021.
M&A and sharebuy backs unlikely.
Overall Q&A was well managed. I would take a 2 year view on Cemtamin. With Martin at the helm I can see Centamin being a £4bn plus company,
