                         ('Centamin' or 'the Company')



                PROCESSING PLANT AND POWER PLANT ARRIVE IN EGYPT



Centamin Egypt Limited (TSX:CEE, ASX:CNT, AIM:CEY) which is rapidly developing
the world class Sukari gold deposit, is pleased to announce that both the Kori
Kollo processing plant and the Isparta power plant have arrived safely at the
Egyptian seaport of Alexandria and their cargoes have been discharged.



The dismantling of the Kori Kollo processing facility in Bolivia and the Isparta
28MW power plant in Turkey was completed in September and both sites were closed
and signed off. All staff from Bolivia and Turkey have now relocated to Egypt to
continue with the reassembly of the plants at Sukari in Egypt's Red Sea Hills
region.



The Isparta power plant consisted of 24 pieces of break bulk and 56 containers
containing more than 900 individual packages. The Kori Kollo processing plant
comprised 270 pieces of break bulk and 55 containers.  Trucking of freight has
now commenced to the site in the eastern desert and is expected to take several
weeks.



This latest development represents an exciting phase for the Company as it takes
another step towards the commissioning of the first modern gold mine in Egypt
which is scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2008.
