Sukari Operations Temporarily Halted

Centamin announces that it has temporarily halted operations at its Sukari Gold Mine in Egypt due to illegal labour unrest from a small percentage of the Sukari workforce.

The illegal work stoppage commenced as a result of a dispute with on-going discussions relating to general salary increases. The Company is continuing its discussions and has the full support of the Egyptian Mineral Resources Authority and the Ministry of Labour.

The Company does not consider this interruption to production to be material at this stage and will provide further updates in due course.
