Centamin has announced that on March 28, the company reached and surpassed one tonne of gold poured at its Sukari gold mine in Egypt. This followed the one millionth tonne of ore processed earlier in the month through the Sukari CIL circuit.
The Sukari process plant continues to perform above its nameplate capacity of 4Mt/y and remains on track to produce 200,000oz of gold in 2010. Construction and cold commissioning of the Stage 2 sulphide circuit has been completed with no major issues encountered. Wet commissioning and processing of sulphide ore took place in April.
Josef El-Raghy, chairman of Centamin, commented: "The passing of these milestones within our first full quarter of production is testament to the extraordinary commitment and hard work of the entire Centamin team, as well as the continued support from the Egyptian Government."
