CEY is a gold mining company operating in Egypt. It was ordered by the Egyptian Government to stop drilling pending a legal dispute brought against the company by a government minister.

Since then, the whole Government cabinet was replaced a few months ago and the minister now in charge of Mining is believed to be positive on Western investment in the country. CEY are pushing for this minister to allow them to continue drilling ASAP; investers are waiting....patiently.

As soon as the company gets the go-ahead to continue drilling, the share price will move north; CEY has plenty of gold in this mine and it is (apparantly) the case of "raking" it out rather than drilling for it!

Check them out...worthy of a punt.

Still looking good. Getting better and better.

Sukari Gold Project Resource Upgrade


Sukari JORC compliant resource upgrade to 5,759,492 million ounces of gold

Increase of 1,265,611 million ounces or 28% above the resource statement
announced in December 2005

2 additional diamond drilling rigs arrive


SUKARI PROJECT RESOURCE MODELLING

Resource modelling and grade estimation of the Sukari geological resource was
recently completed to JORC standards by independent resource consultants,
Hellman & Schofield, utilising all available assaying as at 25th April 2006 and
included new drilling data from the Ra and Pharaoh Zones, completed since
November 2005.

Note to Table: Figures in table may not add correctly due to rounding


The measured resources lie in areas where drilling is available at a nominal 25
x 25 metre spacing, indicated resources in areas drilled at approximately 25 x
50 metre spacing and inferred resources in areas of broader spaced drilling and
that the resources are estimates of recoverable tonnes and grades using Multiple
Indicator Kriging with block support correction. The resource model extends from
9700mN to 12250mN and to a maximum depth of 600RL (approximately 550 metres
below surface).

The resource estimate has been based on the sampling and geological logging
coming from 571 diamond and RC drill holes combining to give approximately
116,500 metres of drilling and 5271 two-metre surface rock chip samples.
Resource data set comprises approximately 58,125 two-metre down hole composites
and rock chip samples. The December model was based on 41,991 drill hole and
rock chip samples.

The tempo of the infill and exploration program has been further increased with
the addition of two further drilling rigs taking the rigs on site to nine.

this now looking very cheap should be at least 50p

though very near the 52 week high, CEY seems strangely and almost unaccountably somnolent, even though gold price has shot up yet another $10.00 ..... I am inclined to say BUY (though I hold already), but it is just possible there is some unknown and potentially poor news unreleased

hmy looking at this now.

Sukari Project Drilling Results

Gazelle Zone Massive High Grade Gold Intersection




Centamin Egypt Limited, the dual listed gold exploration company, is pleased to
announce high grade gold assays from the first pass drilling of the Gazelle zone
on the north eastern flank of the Sukari Hill.

The newly defined high grade zone is outside of the current Feasibility
Study (BFS)


The assay results highlight the potential for additional high grade zones
as drilling moves north on the Sukari hill.

Drill hole RCD553 returned impressive gold grades in several zones down hole
including 3m @ 440.6g/t Au, within a massive intersection of 111m @ 15.06g/t Au
from 473m. The hole was collared just above the historically mined Gazelle adit,
which has previously recorded 38m @ 7.73g/t from rock chip channel sampling.

This newly defined high grade zone is outside of the Amun orebody BFS and
currently defined mining pitshells, but is similar in style to the historically
mined Amun Main Lode, exploited in ancient times, and may represent a stacked
system of high grade quartz vein shear zones.

The drill hole was designed to follow up strong mineralisation previously
defined in the Ra-Gazelle zone higher up in the porphyry from 11,025N to
11,175N, and 10,650E to the east (Figure 1). The assay results (Table 1)
highlight the strong potential for further high grade zones at depth and to the
north in the Sukari Hill, and in the Ra-Gazelle zone in particular.

The Company believes results of this tenor will lead to further significant
increases in the currently defined global resource of 5.76m oz Au. Drilling is
continuing in the Ra, Gazelle and Pharaoh zones.

SUKARI GOLD PROJECT RESOURCE UPGRADE


Centamin Egypt Limited, the dual listed gold exploration and development company, today announces a further increase in gold resources at its Sukari Gold project.

The resource has been upgraded to 7.70 million ounces of gold, a 13% or 910,000 ounce increase over the previously announced resource in August 2006.


HIGHLIGHTS

Sukari JORC compliant resource upgrade to 7.70 million ounces of gold

Increase of 910,000 ounces or 13% over the August 2006 reported figure

Discovery cost remains circa US$4/oz

43m @ 3.69 g/t from surface on western flank of Ra zone

Majority of upgrade within 300m of strike in the Ra and Gazelle zones

Potential for further significant resource addition within the same Ra / Gazelle area

The Company is extremely pleased with this upgrade given the nature of the
drilling through the 3 months with some slow and deep holes being drilled. As such, the upgrade exceeded our expectations during this time.

The company has 9 rigs on site and is currently focusing drilling in the Ra and Gazelle zones with significant further ounces being expected to be delivered in these areas.

The next resource upgrade will be reported no later than February 2007 with interim drilling results expected prior to that.

Ive been following this company for a while now and great news today. BUT its hard to find any news of when the stuff might start coming out of the ground. Anyone any the wiser????

Kivver:

From someone who visited recent AGM:

Re. arrival of Korri Kollo plant in Egypt; Josef (Josef El-Raghy, Managing Director) said this will be in the 2nd quarter of '07 and production to start in the 2nd quarter of '08.

damn long time to wait

Bad stocks are set to drag down good ones
By : Tom Winnifrith
20/12/2006

THE New Year will be hard for Aim. An awful lot of rubbish has been floated over the past two years and, as these companies struggle to refinance, initial public offerings (IPOs) will dry up

In terms of longs, I am attracted to resource plays with near-term production that stand a good chance of being bought out by cash-rich sector leaders.

So Id buy Centamin at 32.5p (which I own)

I am bearish on Aim. I fear that the bad stocks (of which there are too many) will drag down the good. But quality will out and if you pick the right stocks your gains will be worthwhile.

Gold Takeovers Reach Record as Companies Fail to Find New Mines
By Choy Leng Yeong
Last Updated: December 27, 2006 00:31 EST

Dec. 27 (Bloomberg) -- Gold-company acquisitions this year surged to the highest level in at least a decade, and the industry may continue its buying spree in 2007 as producers struggle to find new deposits.

Producers are rushing to boost supply because mines are being depleted faster than new reserves are being found, and a six-year rally in gold prices is providing cash to buy assets.

`Scramble for Land'
The industry is staring down the barrel of the gun that says, `Where are the replacement ounces coming from?'''

Doing Deals
Global gold production in the nine months ended September fell 2.2 percent to 1,804 metric tons from a year earlier, London-based researcher GFMS Ltd. estimated. The lack of new supply will help boost gold prices by $200 over the next two years, topping $800 an ounce, Telfer said.

Egypt restructuring gold mining industry, Centamin on ground floor
By Jon Nones
24 Jan 2007 at 01:36 PM

Egypt has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) aimed at restructuring the gold mining sector. The MoU was signed by Oil Minister Sameh Fahmy and the International Finance Corporation (IFC), the private arm of the World Bank group.
Egypt's existing mining laws, based on profit-sharing, werenot attractivefor foreign miningcompanies, and local expertise is currently insufficient to develop a home-grown industry.
Centamins [AIM:CEY; ASX:CNT] open-cut mine at Sukari in southern Egypt's Red Sea hills area hosts proven resources of more than 7.7 million ounces of gold, and further drilling is expected to further boost these figures. This will be the country's first gold mining operation of note in 2,000 years.
The new policy framework is expected to be completed within a year. Officials predict the industry could bring in more than $10 billion.

Gulf Daily News - Manama,Bahrain

Two Australian companies already operate in Egypt's eastern desert. The largest, Centamin, claims proven resources of more than 7.7 million ounces of gold, and further drilling is expected to further boost these figures.
"From our own activity in Egypt today, particularly through the company Centamin, it has become apparent that the gold sector has the potential for Egypt to become one of the largest gold exporters in Africa," said Australian ambassador to Egypt Robert Bowker, who attended yesterday's signing.

That Was The Week That Was In London
By Henry Sandford

Gold hit US$652 an ounce during the week, higher than it has been in almost six months, and this fed through to some of AIMs bigger gold plays.

Avocet (AIM: AVM) shares gained 17 per cent to 108p, Bema Gold (AIM: BAU) was up 6 per cent to 293p, while Yamana Gold (AIM: YAU) advanced 13 per cent to 670p and Centamin Egypt (AIM: CEY) climbed 11 per cent to 35.25p.

Of these the performance of Centamin is the one worth watching as it is now on the radar screens ofsome big producers.

Why gold is the asset you should hang on to
SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 2007

Politics and finance are restricting the speed at which gold producers can get gold out of the ground. Politically unstable and historically more unstable regions are now being targeted. Egypt has now made it a lot easier for gold producers to get on with their projects. One promising minor gold producer with proven reserves is Centamin Egypt (CEY) which is now working at an accelerated rate.

Every new ounce of gold discovered cost over twice as much to locate as it has in the past, on average. In an attempt to defend their share prices, companies in this sector have started to undergo mergers and acquisitions activity
