Agree with spot64. - Love him or hate him, Tibbs is an ever-present force here who performs much unseen work behind the scenes in supporting his views and keeping us informed. - In addition, he keeps and maintains an excellent file/library covering the history of Centamin, which he frequently calls upon as reference. Again, to support his views and keep us informed. - He fights his corner well and in doing so provides us with much entertainment.

So, keep it going Tibbs, you are never boring, not in my book anyway.

Bonanza grade I believe is defined as 1 troy oz of gold per ton. - So, is that we are talking about here?

If Reason#2 is correct, I think that means Horgan has just lied in an official communique does it not?

Another results day, another good-hiding day. - What's new? :)- Amazing stuff. -

In passing, well done M Henderson. Reliable information as per usual.

Correction: - 225k number.

If MHenderson is right, and I have no reason to doubt him, those 125k numbers should be well received. - Not just for the number itself but for the growth/progress in production predicted by Hogan in his Q1 summary.

It will be more encouraging if the news today is supported, once conditions allow, by news of directors purchases.

In the times we are living through, It's never other than a bumpy two-weeks Goldnome. :)

Leaving it until the grace period beyond expiry really is taking down to the wire. - Why would they use such a tactic? - Truth will manifest here in outcomes, when all will/should become clear. - We will know then why they did this and that. - Watch this space. - Prepare for shocks. IMO

I read one well-informed comment that stated that when it is all over, Zelensky will be one of the richest men in the world.

His Panama - Cayman - Vatican-bank accounts are already bursting at the seams from funds/commissions linked to the assistance that Ukraine has received. - Sadly, not the case for the poor Ukrainians themselves. - As I say, just a comment I read.

Thanks .

Many questions/issues still in the pipeline and as yet unresolved it seems.

Interesting to learn that the $100m question still alive and kicking. - Also, the key appointments issue. that's a new one.

As previously mentioned in my post 'Relationships': - it's a reasonable assumption I feel that there must be a degree of dissatisfaction between Emra and Centamin with regards to lost revenues, due to lost production, due to the 'wall' issue. - If mhenderson is right, then it would indeed have been interesting to have been a fly on the wall when feelings were being vented with regards to the set-back. - I suspect there is a blame-game in play, hence the personnel issue. - Speculative on my part of course so let's see what unfolds/surfaces.

Good morning Clued - I like your style. :) - A good chuckle to start the week off. - Good luck.

I should be careful about opening that 'Pandoro's box' if I were you Clued, especially where Centamin is concerned. :)

The discussions over the last week or so have set me wondering what EMRA's feelings were towards the collapsed-wall setback and the subsequent fallout. - At a time of most urgent need, they will have suffered a not inconsiderable shortfall in receipts from the Sukari-project. Not only in lost production earnings, but also the ongoing costs of setting right, which in turn will be deducted before the 50/50 split, thus adding further pain. All in all, it will amount to a severe financial-hit for them. - I don't suppose we'll ever find out, but I would like to have been a fly on the wall in a place where feelings were being vent, especially if it was considered that the situation had been brought about through negligence/incompetence. - Rightly or wrongly, wrongly as it appears to be, it was the first thing that I linked with the dispute.

Thank you Dasut

It was a bit of a marathon wasn't it, but in the end I think it was worth the candle.

Much appreciated.

Thank you Dasut. - That will be much appreciated.

Concerning the issue with EMRA re lost revenues: If there are negotiations taking place but have not yet concluded with an agreement, then for Centamin to state that 'currently there is no $100m owed to the Egyptian Gov./EMRA', is in fact correct. - If no agreement reached, then nothing owed at this point. The bigger question; is there an issue and are they being discussed/negotiated? - The consequences behind this question is what's spooking everyone.

Thanks Dasut

In the context of the sum of its parts, It's not a very comprehensive response is it? - The word 'currently' is interesting and no doubt correct. - Does the Egyptian Central Bank still owe Centamin $100m then ?- Is there an issue between EMRA and Centamin concerning 'lost revenue'?- It would have been good to have had an answer covering the related issues. - Thanks anyway for your efforts.

Thanks SteveJones

It'll be interesting to join the dots up on the 'Lost revenue' claim. - Has it to do with the wall-collapse and its effects I wonder? - What is behind the claim? - Tibbs has tried but without success I understand. - If Tibbs can't mange, I think it'll be difficult for anybody else. - m henderson perhaps may be able to shed more light. - On the face of it it's quite a serious development.

The $100m issue seems all hush-hush doesn't it? - If it is true, it cannot remain as such. - As a FTSE 250 company, Centamin will properly have to account for it. - Also, it would warrant a RNS I would suggest. - Having said that, when has anything ever been normal at Centamin? - In many respects, it's one of the most mysterious/intriguing companies I've ever come across. - There are national-politics continually in play, legal issues continually in play, management trickery including sabotage, and so on and so on.- It's fascinating stuff. IMO

Not so sure that Egypt has the funds available to take-over Sukari/Pharoah. - Not sure. - However, If they do, Centamin has no fall-back, they are still a one-trick-pony, so that will be an end to Centamin.
