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.

I'm surprised there isn't more support for this dual listed share (ISA potential) as it has just started mining operations and is funded.

can't disagree .... i think it's a damn little minnow though i do not currently hold

Gold up again today $962 at the moment, crude $37 or so, can't put this in my Isa, but HOC you can, just checked and Heritage oil (HOIL), you can now !.

RF; CEY is duel listed which makes it eligable for an ISA, i hold mine with
Selftrade who have accepted them. Ask your broker "why not",and give the reasons i have given.
cyril

as i have said before, this is a really good minnow miner and arguably or even probably cheap still .... if i was adding a(nother) gold miner to my portfolio, this would be high on my list to consider

Barclays have very strict conditions for stocks like this niceonecyril apart from being listed on a main overseas market ...they must also report in with an address in the UK mainland !, not Jersey etc.. the only other one that I know of on Aim like this that fulfills these conditions is Jubilee Platinum (JLP).

Typical Britain today...double standards all the way....one broker says yes the other says no !.

Great set of results,thinking of topping up as gold is a pretty safe bet at the minute.

Centamin is pleased to announce an increase in total reserves at the Sukari Gold Mine in Egypt.




The total reserves have increased to 6.4 million ounces, an increase of 2.7 million ounces (72%) from the previously reported 3.7 million ounces as announced in March 2007. The new mineral reserves are based on drilling up to 25 January 2009 and utilized a gold price of US$700 per ounce. Details of the new reserves calculated for Sukari as at April 2009 and the previous reserves as at March 2007 are listed in the table below.

Tipped as a buy in Monday's Telegraph at 57.25

throroughly agree ..... as i have commented several times, CEY is first class as minnow mioners go .... certainly a far far better prospect than that fijian outfit that halifax is keen to ramp

Questor says BUY

Another Questor stock providing a good update last week was Centamin Egypt, one of our tips of the year.

Centamin confirmed that it was on track to become a gold miner in the second quarter of the year. The company also has the finance in place to do this. This is good news as there had been some whispers around the company that it would have to delay production to the third quarter.

The company raised $69m (46m) of equity and $25m of debt in the period and so it is well-financed to put the mine in production and potentially push forward with an expansion programme. Gold reserves now stand at 6.4m oz. When the mine comes on stream later in the year the shares are likely to be rerated. House broker Ambrian says it expects to raise its price target on the shares to 80p-100p a share once production starts.

Of course, the performance to some extent depends on the gold price, which outperforms at times of financial crisis.

A number of commentators have been saying that a new bull run has started and we are out of the economic woods. Questor is cautious and is yet to be convinced that we are not in a bear market rally. Therefore, Questor expects to see continuing strength in the gold price.

The shares were first recommended at 42.5p on January 5 and the shares, which have risen 29pc, remain a buy

The price is up by about 1/3 in the past 3 weeks.on continuing good news,and up 3 today

(TSX:CEE, ASX:CNT, AIM:CEY)




DRILLING UPDATE




The Company is pleased to announce that the resource definition drilling in the northern half of Sukari Hill porphyry continues to return highly encouraging assay results, with a thick, high grade intersection of 43m @ 17g/t Au from 499m downhole (including 1m @ 68.1g/t Au from 525m and 2m @ 279g/t Au from 531m) recorded in hole D1435 on section 11250N. D1435 was drilled in the Pharaoh Zone, 150m south of D1431 (11400N) which returned an intersection of 55m @ 3.48g/t Au. Several other holes in the area have also returned strong assays, such as D1420 (11275N) - 79m @ 4.48g/t Au; D1423 (11350N) - 47m @ 2.85g/t Au and RCD470 (11525N) - 66m @ 4.80g/t Au.




The D1435 intersection is associated with the along strike and down dip extension of the high grade Hapi and deeper zones of mineralisation, and its significance is highlighted by continuity with several other recently returned strong Au assay intersections (including D1431). The drilling shows the high grade Hapi and related zones extend from the far south Amun Zone over 1.5km north to the area of current drilling, and are likely to continue to the northern end of the hill, a further 1km to the north.




These zones along the entire strike length of Sukari Hill (2.5km) are the target of current comprehensive infill and extension drilling with 8 diamond coring rigs. Most of the intersections described above are outside the most recent February 2009 resource estimate (9.39Moz Measured and Indicated, plus 3.5Moz Au Inferred - see Table 1 below), therefore, considerable resource ounces are anticipated to be added in the next resource upgrade, due in July 2009.

This just gets better and better, wish I had more!

Just back from a successful day at golf, a quick check and bingo. Just wait until
we start production?
cyril

really glad this little outfit seems to have hit at least a modest jackpot, even though i am not a current holder

Look's like you have missed the boat cynic , closed 27% up in Canada after reaching 33%

There's always time to get in, will probably fall back a bit, I'm a bit peed off as I had a trading punt on this as well as my holding and sold yesterday for a great 30% profit but could've been 60% and even worse didn't do my usual top slice, I'll put it down the shock of being another year older, where did that one go?

Long term this one is a beauty, when production starts it will really be flying, add in gold price expectations and happy days here we come, please don't buy on this as I want them a bit cheaper!!!

Given as a buy in this weeks' Investors Chronicle at 82p

still expect some short term weakness in next week or two, however Gm bankruptcy may push sp gold up again and with it juniors. Am hoping to buy again in the next week especially if it gets below 75p
