Elphinstone delivers first MED210 to Sukari Gold Mine in Egypt

Elphinstone is excited to deliver a MED210 to Centamin’s Sukari Gold Mine in the Nubian Desert, Egypt. Sukari is Egypt’s first large-scale modern mine; served by smooth tarmac roads, off-grid power, solar and a 25km water pipeline fed by the Red Sea. The landscape and climate can be unforgiving in Egypt’s mineral-rich Eastern Desert.

Sukari is a hive of activity, a hub of employment and opportunity for upper and lower Egypt, with a workforce of 3,795 people, of which 95% are Egyptian. Egypt is an excellent operating jurisdiction, boasting a stable political environment, good security and a great infrastructure network from port to road access. In 2022, Sukari produced its five millionth ounce of gold since it began production 13 years ago.

Available in 150, 210, and 360-tonne capacities, the ‘Original’ Mine Extraction Device safely extracts bogged or buried equipment without damaging mine infrastructure or negatively impacting production. The MED has performed hundreds of successful extractions at underground mining operations (both coal and hard rock) across Australia and internationally.
