"With the co-operation of the Egyptian Mineral Resources Authority, Ministry of Petroleum and Industry Committee of Parliament, all outstanding issues have been effectively resolved and work has recommenced," Centamin announced this morning.
The group warned that first quarter production and cash costs will be affected by this unrest but assured that full-year production and cash cost guidance remains unchanged.
