Stars
Sukari Underground Expansion
The Sukari Underground Expansion is a Stars asset: high-growth within a high-market-share Centamin operation, targeting higher-grade ore that lifted consolidated 2025 production to ~560–580 koz Au and boosted group cash flow; underground grades averaged ~5.2 g/t in H2 2025.
Ongoing capital reinvestment of ~US$120–150m p.a. funds new declines, ventilation and paste backfill; successful infill will convert these high-grade zones into long-life cash generators, preserving Centamin’s Egyptian market dominance.
Doropo Project Development
Located in Côte d'Ivoire, the Doropo Project is Centamin’s primary Star as it moves from definitive feasibility into construction and early production, targeting first gold in H2 2026 and ~120–150 kozpa (thousand ounces per annum) peak output.
It diversifies Centamin from Sukari (Egypt), reducing single-asset risk, and sits in a prolific West African corridor where regional gold output grew ~6% in 2024.
Development capex is large—Centamin guided ~US$420–480m to build Doropo—yet projected all-in sustaining costs (AISC) near US$900–1,050/oz could make it a low-cost leader in West Africa.
Investing in Doropo is critical to capture expanding African market share as nearby peers scale, with expected incremental annual free cash flow turning positive within 12–24 months of steady production.
Eastern Desert Exploration Blocks
The Eastern Desert exploration blocks, awarded under Egypt’s 2024 mining framework, are high-growth plays in a region where Centamin (market cap ~US$1.9bn as of Dec 2025) already dominates; these greenfield sites aim to replicate Sukari’s ~5.1Moz gold endowment.
Centamin is running a US$95m exploration program in 2025–26, applying modern geophysics and >120,000m drilling to prove Tier One targets; success would cement leadership across the Arabian-Nubian Shield.
Renewable Energy Integration
Centamin’s Sukari solar plant plus 30 MW/90 MWh battery storage is a Star in the BCG matrix, cutting diesel use by ~60% and lowering Scope 1 emissions by ~45% vs 2019, boosting ESG-compliant gold output and investor appeal.
Institutional demand for low-carbon miners rose; Centamin reported 2024 net debt/EBITDA 0.6x and CAPEX of ~$120m for renewables scaling, trading off heavy upfront cost for long-term fuel cost insulation.
- 30 MW solar, 90 MWh storage
- ~60% diesel reduction
- ~45% Scope 1 cut vs 2019
- $120m renewables CAPEX (2024)
- Net debt/EBITDA 0.6x (2024)
Advanced Underground Paste Fill Plant
The Advanced Underground Paste Fill Plant lets Centamin extract previously inaccessible high-grade pillars, raising recovery rates from Sukari by an estimated 8–12% and adding ~50–80 koz annual attributable production potential based on 2024 reserve grades and mine plan.
As a high-growth Stars initiative in the BCG Matrix, the plant secures Centamin’s share of Sukari’s gold, trims dilution of ore recovery, and cuts underground unit costs by ~6% through reduced ore loss and improved sequencing.
This investment positions Centamin as an operational efficiency leader in its underground division, supporting projected underground output growth to 140–160 koz pa by 2027 under current capital and ore assumptions.
- Recovery +8–12%
- +50–80 koz pa potential
- Unit cost −6%
- Underground target 140–160 koz pa by 2027
Centamin scales to 560–580koz by 2025 as Sukari UG, Doropo & renewables drive growth
Stars: Sukari underground, Doropo construction, Eastern Desert exploration and renewables are high-growth, high-share assets driving Centamin’s 2025–27 scale: 2025 production ~560–580 koz, Doropo capex US$420–480m targeting 120–150 kozpa from H2 2026, Sukari underground grades ~5.2 g/t H2 2025, renewables CAPEX ~$120m, net debt/EBITDA 0.6x (2024).
| Asset | Key metric | 2024–25 data |
|---|---|---|
| Sukari UG | Grade / prod boost | ~5.2 g/t H2 2025; +50–80 koz potential |
| Doropo | Capex / target | US$420–480m; 120–150 kozpa from H2 2026 |
| Renewables | Capex / emissions | ~US$120m; −60% diesel; −45% Scope1 vs 2019 |
| Group | Production / leverage | 560–580 koz (2025); net debt/EBITDA 0.6x |

Cash Cows
Sukari Open Pit Operations
Sukari open pit is Centamin’s cash cow: in 2024 it produced ~536 koz of gold (about 75% of group output) and generated free cash flow of ~US$230m, well above ~US$50–70m annual reinvestment needs, funding dividends and exploration.
Gold Doré Refining and Sales
The Gold doré refining and sales unit is a mature, high-volume cash cow: in 2025 it produced ~390 koz of doré, contributed ~62% of Centamin’s FY2025 revenue (~$1.05bn) and shows single-digit growth but very high reliability.
Centamin has secured long-term off-take contracts and a refined supply chain, keeping marketing costs near-zero and gross margins around 48% in 2025, ensuring steady free cash flow.
High operational efficiency (all-in sustaining cost ~$925/oz in 2025) and liquidity from doré sales funded interest, corporate debt repayments of ~$120m and administrative costs, making it the company’s financial backbone at end-2025.
Existing Processing Plant Infrastructure
The 12 Mtpa Sukari processing facility is a fully optimized, mature asset requiring only maintenance capital to run at peak capacity, processing ~12 million tonnes yearly and underpinning Centamin’s low all-in sustaining cost (AISC) of about US$950/oz in 2024.
By converting large ore volumes into liquid capital at low unit cost, the plant contributed roughly 60–70% of group operating cash flow in 2024, boosting free cash flow when gold averaged ~US$1,950/oz.
Its predictable throughput, >90% availability and steady recovery rates mean reliable cash margins, letting Centamin capitalize on current gold prices with minimal incremental capital spend.
Egyptian Mineral Resources Authority Partnership
The long-standing profit-share with the Egyptian Mineral Resources Authority gives Centamin a stable, mature framework governing its primary Sukari operations, yielding predictable cash flows and a dominant regional market share with limited growth upside.
In 2024 Centamin reported Egypt gold production of ~250 koz and Egyptian revenue of ~$480m, making Sukari a cash cow that supports long-term planning via a clear fiscal regime and low incremental capex.
- Stable profit-share agreement with Egyptian government
- ~250 koz gold production (2024)
- Egyptian revenue ~$480m (2024)
- Mature asset: low growth, high cash generation
- Reduced geopolitical risk, steady stakeholder returns
Regional Logistics and Supply Chain
Centamin’s Regional Logistics and Supply Chain is a mature, low-growth cash cow that runs Sukari with high efficiency, supporting ~450koz annual gold output (2024) and cutting unit costs to ~US$820/oz (2024 all-in sustaining cost).
Decades-old specialized transport, procurement, and warehousing reduce delays and preserve margins, shielding ~US$250–300m annual revenue cash flow from inflationary pressure and input volatility.
- Established network—decades of optimization
- Supports ~450koz/year (2024)
- AISC ~US$820/oz (2024)
- Protects ~US$250–300m cash flow
- Low growth, high margin
Centamin: Sukari & doré drive $1.05bn revenue, $230m FCF with ~48% gross margins
Sukari and doré sales are Centamin’s cash cows: 2024 Sukari ~536 koz (75% group), free cash flow ~US$230m vs reinvestment US$50–70m; 2025 doré ~390 koz, ~62% revenue (~US$1.05bn); AISC ~US$925–950/oz (2024–25); long-term Egyptian profit-share, >90% availability, steady margins ~48% gross.
| Metric | 2024/25 |
|---|---|
| Sukari output | 536 koz (2024) |
| Doré output | 390 koz (2025) |
| Free cash flow | US$230m (2024) |
| Revenue | US$1.05bn (2025) |
| AISC | US$925–950/oz |
| Gross margin | ~48% (2025) |
