Director dealings: Centamin chairman makes share purchase

Centamin revealed on Tuesday that chairman James Rutherford had purchased 100,000 ordinary shares in the FTSE 250-listed miner.

Rutherford, who joined the firm back in January, bought the shares on Monday at an average price of 120.10p each, for a total value of £120,100 and taking the total amount of shares that he owns to 200,000.

Just last week, analysts at Berenberg upgraded mining firm Centamin to 'buy' from 'hold' on Friday, stating the group's new mine had rebased their expectations.

With Centamin releasing a new mine plan for its Sukari mine in Egypt, Berenberg now expects production of 452,000 ounces for 2020 versus guidance of 445,000-455,000 ounces.

As of 1630 GMT, Centamin shares were up 3.09% at 126.80p.
