Market Update - Resumption of Gold Exports

Centamin is pleased to confirm that the halt by customs on gold exports from Sukari has been lifted and a shipment was made yesterday. We expect both fuel supply and normal operations at Sukari to resume in the coming days, once payment for the latest shipment has been received and working capital in the operating company, Sukari Gold Mines, has subsequently been replenished. Centamin will provide a further market update when this occurs.

We continue to benefit from the support and cooperation of the Ministry of Petroleum and our partners in the project, the Egyptian Mineral Resources Authority (EMRA).
