<\/a> Egypt will launch an international bid round for gold and mineral exploration on 15<\/strong> March<\/strong>, and will accept bids until 15 July, the Oil Ministry said in a statement (pdf)<\/a>. Investors will bid for exploration in the Eastern Desert over an area totaling 56k sqkm using the block-basis concessions system, with blocks around 170 sqm each, the local press reports<\/a>. Winning bids will be awarded within four months of the tender<\/a> being launched.<\/p>\n

The ministry will launch new gold exploration tenders every four months<\/strong>, Minister Tarek El Molla said in a press conference yesterday<\/a>.<\/p>\n

One caveat:<\/strong> Companies which have not submitted \u201cserious\u201d bids in previous auctions will not be considered in next month\u2019s tender, the minister said<\/a> without elaborating.<\/p>\n

An acid test for the government\u2019s regulatory reform:<\/strong> This will be the first tender of its kind since amendments to the Mineral Resources Act designed to jump-start investment in the sector were passed last year<\/a>. Under the new regulations, gold mine operators will pay the minimum 5% royalty<\/a>, EGP 25k in rent each year<\/a> per sq km, and income tax of 22.5%. Kind words have been said<\/a> about the legislation\u2019s more investor-friendly terms, but whether this translates into more investment will be determined largely through investor appetite in the coming tenders.<\/p>\n

How popular will the tender be? It\u2019s too early to tell: <\/strong>Centamin \u2014 currently Egypt\u2019s sole gold producer \u2014 said last week<\/a> that it was waiting on further information before deciding whether it will submit a bid. La Mancha Mining Chairman Naguib Sawiris has been less circumspect, saying last week<\/a> that he\u2019s \u201cwilling to participate in any area that could be promising.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sawiris Shalateen mining talks confirmed:<\/strong> El Molla confirmed during a press conference yesterday<\/a> that the government is in talks with Naguib Sawiris to sell a 51% stake in its Shalateen mining company. The Egyptian bn\u2019aire said earlier this week<\/a> that La Mancha was in negotiations for the majority stake in the state-owned company. Ownership of Shalateen is split between several government organizations: The Egyptian Mineral Resources Authority owns 35%, the military\u2019s National Service Projects Organization 34%, the National Investment Bank 24% and the Egyptian Company for Mineral Resources 7%. It remains unclear which companies are in talks with Sawiris to offload or reduce their stakes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
