Sukari Gold Mine halted by illegal labour unrest

Centamin announces that it has temporarily halted operations at its Sukari Gold Mine in Egypt due to illegal labour unrest.

The illegal unrest and work stoppage commenced as a result of a breakdown in on-going discussions involving general salary increases and other benefits with some members of the Sukari workforce.  The Company is continuing discussions and has the full support of the Egyptian Mineral Resources Authority and the Ministry of Petroleum.

The Company will provide further updates in due course.
