Centamin Egypt Limited Drilling Update
5/20/2009 7:30:54 AM - Market Wire
TORONTO, ONTARIO, May 20, 2009 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX News Network) --
Centamin Egypt Limited ("Centamin" or "the Company") (TSX: CEE)(ASX: CNT)(AIM: CEY) is pleased to announce that the resource definition drilling in the northern half of Sukari Hill porphyry continues to return highly encouraging assay results, with a thick, high grade intersection of 43m @ 17g/t Au from 499m downhole (including 1m @ 68.1g/t Au from 525m and 2m @ 279g/t Au from 531m) recorded in hole D1435 on section 11250N. D1435 was drilled in the Pharaoh Zone, 150m south of D1431 (11400N) which returned an intersection of 55m @ 3.48g/t Au. Several other holes in the area have also returned strong assays, such as D1420 (11275N) - 79m @ 4.48g/t Au; D1423 (11350N) - 47m @ 2.85g/t Au and RCD470 (11525N) - 66m @ 4.80g/t Au.
The D1435 intersection is associated with the along strike and down dip extension of the high grade Hapi and deeper zones of mineralisation, and its significance is highlighted by continuity with several other recently returned strong Au assay intersections (including D1431). The drilling shows the high grade Hapi and related zones extend from the far south Amun Zone over 1.5km north to the area of current drilling, and are likely to continue to the northern end of the hill, a further 1km to the north.
These zones along the entire strike length of Sukari Hill (2.5km) are the target of current comprehensive infill and extension drilling with 8 diamond coring rigs. Most of the intersections described above are outside the most recent February 2009 resource estimate (9.39Moz Measured and Indicated, plus 3.5Moz Au Inferred - see Table 1 below), therefore, considerable resource ounces are anticipated to be added in the next resource upgrade, due in July 2009.
