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.

holders 50p is coming

Gold has fallen by around 1200 points in the last week so only natural that shares such as these would reflect such a market move.

They don't reflect it much when Gold go's up

Gold is a physical asset and shares are paper, big difference and less risk if you hold the physical asset.

your "physical asset" is quoted in $ so there is the double risk of bullion intrinsically falling, which i think it has done quite signbificantly over the last 10 days, and also exchange rate exposure ..... all that glisters etc!!

well if details are on the web site I can't see them.

Egypt's benchmark stock index dropped more than 1.4 percent early Thursday as a deepening political crisis in the Arab world's most populous nation cast a pall over its political future and prompted Moody's Investors Service to push the government's bond rating deeper into junk status.

The Egyptian Exchange's EGX 30 index was down 1.48 percent by 11:50 a.m., rebounding slightly from a more than 1.6 percent slide earlier in the day. The index is down about 48 percent so far this year as investors fled the market amid the unrest stemming from the protests that toppled former President Hosni Mubarak in mid-February and have continued on a near daily basis since then.

The decline came even as the country's military-appointed prime minister called for national dialogue to end the clashes and protests that have crippled the country's economy and cast a pall on its transition to democracy.

read the money abserver magazine very interesting and will be buying

Why don't you tell us what it say's and save us the trouble of buying it ?

Why are all your stock purchases based on one Press article?

going to up production to 500.000 and profit to go from 20m to 120m in 2011
and 172m 2012 with earnings per share 16.12p

TANKS - i have no objection to peeps changing their stances on stocks, but you don't half blow with the breeze, which does cast considerable doubt on the value of your opinions .... btw, 2011 now has only a few days to run!

Hurry up chap's , only another 100m before 2011

20m million each day from today.

T's a fickle investor, changes his mind on shares repeatedly over the course of a few days, suggests sp's which are never attained, it's only 11 days ago he was suggesting CEY would drop to 50p, now he's on a buying crusade. I've cracked it he's an analyst.
