PERTH, AUSTRALIA--(Marketwired - Nov 12, 2014) - Centamin plc ("Centamin" or "the Company") (LSE: CEY) (TSX: CEE) is pleased to announce its results for the third quarter ended 30 September 2014.

HIGHLIGHTS (1) (2) (3)

Production

  • Gold production 93,624 ounces, 15% higher quarter-on-quarter and 10% increase on the prior year.
  • Cash cost of production of US$771 per ounce, 1.5% lower than Q2 2014.
  • The process plant at Sukari saw record quarterly throughput of 2,388kt and the expanded nameplate capacity of 10 million tonnes per annum (Mtpa) achieved in September.
  • 2014 guidance of between 370,000 and 380,000 ounces at US$700 per ounce cash cost of production.

Financials

  • Basic earnings per share 1.39 cents, up 40% on Q2 2014 and down 49% on the prior year period.
  • EBITDA US$37.8 million, up 16% on Q2 2014 and down 12% on the prior year period.
  • Centamin remains debt-free and un-hedged with cash, bullion on hand, gold sales receivables and available-for-sale financial assets of US$140.3 million as at 30 September 2014.

Exploration

  • Underground drilling at Sukari continues to support further resource and reserve expansion potential.
  • Exploration drilling programmes continue in Ethiopia, Burkina Faso and Côte d'Ivoire.

Legal developments in Egypt

  • The Supreme Administrative Court appeal and Diesel Fuel Court Case are both ongoing. Centamin is aware of the potential for the legal process in Egypt to be lengthy and it anticipates a number of hearings and adjournments in both cases before a decision is reached. Operations continue as normal and any enforcement of the Administrative Court decision has been suspended pending the appeal ruling.

(2) Cash cost of Production, EBITDA and cash, bullion on hand, gold sales receivables and available-for-sale financial assets are non-GAAP measures defined on pages 23 - 25

(3) Basic EPS, EBITDA, Cash Costs of Production now includes an exceptional provision against prepayments recorded since Q4 2012 to reflect the removal of fuel subsidies which occurred in January 2012 (see Note 4 of the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further details)

Josef El-Raghy, Chairman of Centamin, said: "The ramp-up in productivity from the process plant continued during the quarter, and achieved the expanded 10Mtpa nameplate capacity in September with a record 882,443 tonnes milled, in line with our expectation. Mining rates from the open pit and underground continue to improve and, with the recent government approval for an increase in ammonium nitrate (AN) usage, the operation remains on a secure footing. Whilst our 2014 forecast average grades from underground development ore have reduced and October 2014 had lower plant productivity than expected, our recently revised annual guidance of 370-380,000 ounces implies that we will meet our post-expansion production rate of 450,000-500,000 ounces per annum in the fourth quarter. This will represent a solid achievement for the operation so soon after commissioning activities commenced in the second quarter."

Centamin will host a conference call on Wednesday, 12 November at 9.00am (London, UK time) to update investors and analysts on its results. Participants may join the call by dialling one of the following three numbers, approximately 10 minutes before the start of the call.
