        NEW HIGH GRADE ZONE AT AMUN DEEPS DISCOVERED WITH 22m @ 21.83g/t


Centamin Egypt Limited ("Centamin" or "the Company") (ASX:CNT, AIM:CEY, TSX:CEE)
which is developing the first large scale modern gold mine in Egypt, is pleased
to announce it has intersected a further extremely high grade zone of gold
mineralization during its drilling program at the Sukari project in the Eastern
Desert region.


This mineralized intersection sits outside the current optimized pit shell and
also outside the upgraded 6.84 Moz Measured and Indicated resource (Measured
2.6Moz, Indicated 4.2Moz), and 3.6 Moz Inferred resource, which was announced on
20 September 2007.


The high grade gold assay results were intersected in hole RCD1221 which was
drilled as a step-out hole to test the down dip extension of the porphyry in the
Amun zone on northing 10525N. This hole intersected a high grade zone of 22m @
21.83g/t Au from 549m, containing a higher grade zone of 8m @ 58.58g/t Au with
visible gold from 559m.


The intersection is a high grade structure parallel to and below the Hapi Zone.
This deeper structure correlates to 6m @ 15.21g/t Au in hole RCD521 from 542m
25m north on 10550N and an adjacent, extremely high grade looking zone
containing abundant visible gold and sulphide, intersected in recently drilled
hole RCD1280 (assay results are awaited).


Hole RCD1279, a further 100m north on 10650N, has also intersected thick, highly
mineralised porphyry with quartz veins containing several visible gold grains in
a similar zone at depth and assays are also pending for this hole.  Pending the
assays awaited and infill drilling, this is consistent with the continuity along
strike of the high grade Amun Deeps mineralization and the presence of another
significant high grade structure beneath the Hapi Zone.


The current drill program has been very successful in targeting the down dip
extension of the Hapi zone and deeper parallel high grade structures within the
main porphyry, providing significant results over the past few months of focus
in the Amun Deeps area. It remains the Company's strategy to drill further the
Amun Deeps zone to add significant ounces to the global gold resource.


Further recent assay results from this current Amun Deeps program are as
follows:
