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.

Gold now at $1019,

The all time high for gold was Mar 2008 ($1033.90),now in touching distance.Watch out if that goes soon

This could be the start of the breakout.
Now at $1024,with a breakthrough at $1030 in sight.The weakness of the dollar seems to be the impetus.Also ,the stock now above 100 should help. Touch wood!

POG chart is much better - see thread

it's partly for that reason that i think POG is currently a very good buy

How can I superinpose [ if thats the right word ] the price of gold onto these charts ?

I don't know about that,but the 2 charts over the same period show the performance of POG and CEY in reverse order

Minesite presentation today,from post 205.

From The Times October 13, 2009

In the know: Centamin Egypt; Keller; Whitbread Recommend? (1) Gilts

Yesterdays times.

Rumour of the day

Centamin Egypt rose 1p to 114p after Bank of America Merrill Lynch started covering the gold producer with a buy recommendation. The broker said that the group had one of the largest gold deposits not owned by a large producer and that, as such, it could become an attractive takeover target if its production schedule progresses smoothly.

Will be interesting to see what impact moving to the main list will have too.


Centamin set to move to Main Market
Business Financial Newswire
Centamin Egypt says its shares will cease trading on AIM and simultaneously move to the London Stock Exchange's Main Market on or around 5 November.

This is progressing like steps in "the giants causeway" (Northern Ireland),...shot up this morning...

Any special reason?

Maybe the Main listing coming up? Plus gold moving up again, who knows but all good.

Merrill Lynch put a price of 190p on it.

Centamin selected as one of the Gold Miners to hold by Jim Slater in Friday's Money Week

From the telegraph'

Centamin Egypt shares have rocketed up by 13pc since last Wednesday (even after falling back slightly yesterday). A bid is very likely. Centamin controls one of the largest gold resources in Africa not held by a major miner. Yesterday's rumour was that Canada's Eldorado is stalking the company. AngloGold Ashanti is perhaps a more likely bet. Any price is likely to be north of 150p a share, valuing the company at more than 1.5bn. Hold on for further gains, reckons the Telegraph.

Not helping in Aussie,down almost 7%.

Perhaps because they have just applied to delist from rhe aussie SX.The move has been apparently triggered by the fact that only 2.2% of trades are triggered by the ASX

That's one reason, but the market has turned sour...might just be a bad, very bad couple of days...in fact I have not one single riser today, not one...CEY and AFR amongst others looking cheap....
