I'm carp at these things. So is the expected dividend for 2021 expected to bed 13.5 cents? I see the profit is expected at 115 million but not sure of the shares in circulation.
I'm sure the experts will run their eyes over all the other figures. The only thing that stood out for me (cos I'm thick) is this.

"We continue to believe there is a significant opportunity to unlock further value at Sukari, which we intend to exploit with a focused exploration programme across the entire 160km2 concession area."
So that is the full 16)km2 area and not the 3km area.

Sotolo--I've just done a quick check and it was the 25th of July last year.

"I see a few hundred dollar correction in gold that has risen so massively, I always thought it would be around 1900, which we have amazingly reached. Now I think it is more likely around 2000, which may be a struggle to break, or most likely a little above 2100, by which time Cey should I reckon be around 300"

Sotolo. You are obviously a very clever person. I do not have a clue about the "research" people do on here or where to find it etc. Your "back of a fag packet " calculations always seem to be accurate, but most of your posts are as uplifting as listnening to Leonard Cohen songs Ie. if you are not depressed at the start, you will be by the end!
I may have gotten you mixed up with someone else on here, but wasnt it you, who last year when the share price was around about £2. 15 was predicting the next leg up to £3? Hopefully we will get there in the not too distant future!
Marin Horgan seems to be straight and is addressing issues that were left by his predecessors. None of us really know what is going on , but lets hope that things start to come good----------Maybe a good parcel of land, better terms with Erma, the court case thrown out ( HA!) , gold price starting to move up.

Siko. I hope you are reading and I hope all is good with your family.
I dont know very much. I sold about 2000 RMG shares when they were around the same price as Centamin last year £2.10 ish. That has been a double OUCH! Centamin have halved and the RMG have doubled.
If people and countries have been having trouble getting delivery of actual physical gold, you would expect at some point for the gold price to go up???

Siko , if you are reading, i hope all is good with you and your family.

I quite like reading the gnomes posts. I dont have any bit coin and dont really understand it. It sometimes looks like a giant Ponzi scheme. I'm pretty sure one of the "puzzle solvers" has the thing sussed and syphons off bits along the way.
Are we REALLY sure that there are 21 million bit coins?
What happens if the system does get hacked?
How would you prove you have/ had them?

Back to Centamin. Lets hope we get some good news and the new manager gets things on track and this board becomes a happy smiley place again! We seem to go for long periods of "worst share ever" , through to brief periods of "polish up your golden flip flops"
I hope we get to wear those golden flip flops and our friend Siko does as well.

I hope that a low offer isnt coming in. I have had shares here for about 7 years and have bought on the way up and the way down. I dont have a lot of money and I'm hoping Centamin will come good for us long term holders.
One particular "DOH" thing I have done is I bought some RMG shares last year instead of CEY. Then when they were about the same price and it looked like things were going well for CEY and RMG were stagnant, I sold the RMG for a very small profit and put the money into CEY. Since then RMG have doubled and CEY has halved "DOH" . Particularly painful that!

Remember last year before the announcement of the problems with the will. I think someone on here was talking about us moving up from £2.20 ish up to £3. Hopefully once the problems are resolved or on the way to getting resolved we can think like that again. Also hoping for good dividends along the way.
it seems to me that whenever Centamin gets tipped in the papers, that we have a short rise follwed by a big collapse. Was it about 3 1/2 years ago when we got up to £1.79ish after being tipped and then crashed to the mid 80s?

Being old and grumpy and an idiot with technology, I like simple things. Bit coin seems a gamble to me, a bit like betting on the turn of a card or the toss of a coin. We know things go wrong with technologyh. Having been in a bank, post office or supermarket when things have gone wrong and it is cash only. It has never bothered me as I pay in cash for things like that.

Something that is in my mind about bit coin--and I could be wrong! What if it gets hacked, cyber attack or something like that? If hackers can decode encrypted government agency messages, are you telling me that bitcoing is more secure than them??? Who knows , maybe once the powers that be have stocked up on physical gold, they will let slip the dogs of war and launch an attack on bitcoin and other crypto currencies?
Sorry for rambling. Fingers crossed the new management get things sorted and therer will be good news about the "wall", the new licenses and West Africa.

Siko. On this board, we appreciate what you post. We may not like some of it but you are only delivering the message, so any bad news is not your fault.
I think you reported someone as saying "Good times are coming . Good times are coming" last year? This was before the bad news about the mountain of waste came out. But on this board we believe you are a genuine person and you can only report what you see or hear. If the sources lie, then that is not your fault. I posted something similar aout Mr Tibbles "Man on the train" . He can only report what he has heard. Sometimes the information is correct and sometimes it isnt. You would expect at least a 50% accuracy rate by chance!

I hope you and your family are well and that you are holding shares in Centamin now and that it comes good for you (and us!) .
Thank you for all your efforts on this board.

That is probably true Mr T. But doesn't the same apply to "The man on the train"? How many times has he been wrong? I am not doubting his or your integrity, but without the correct information, isnt just about all of it a guess?
I am hoping it all comes good for us sooner rather than later. It is not nice when suddenly something comes along that we were not aware of and the share price or production figures take a hammering. Maybe there will be some more bad news to come in the not too distant future, about production or the **** heap or something similar???
But, on the other hand, Centamin may get lucky and suddenly hit a dirty great big lump of gold!!!
I'm hoping it is the latter----------------and sooner rather than later. We are not getting any younger.

Mr T ("something something Mr T. I pity the fool who dont like he") Sorry that just came to mind from the espisode of the Simpsons.
I agree with a lot of your political views and views on local government etc, BUT I really do think you need to wind it in a bit on here and keep it to the Cenatamin stuff.
Hopefully things will get better with Centamin with the new fella in charge and we will gradually , but not too slowly, get up to where we think and hope we should be.
Merry Christmas
