NEWS RELEASE
Centerra Gold 2017 Year-End Statement of Mineral Reserves and Resources and
Fourth Quarter Exploration Update
This news release contains forward-looking information that is subject to risk factors and assumptions set out in the
Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-looking Information on page 12. All figures are in United States dollars unless
otherwise stated.
Toronto, Canada, February 8, 2018: Centerra Gold Inc. (“Centerra”) (TSX: CG) today issued its 2017
year-end estimates for mineral reserves and minera l resources. Mineral reserves and resources from the
Kemess Project have been included following the completion of Centerra’s acquisition of AuRico Metals Inc.
(“AuRico Metals”) on January 8, 2018.
Highlights:
Centerra’s proven and probable gold mineral reser ves increased to 16.3 million ounces of contained
gold (746.8 million tonnes (Mt) at 0.7 g/t gold) fro m 16 million contained ounces (673.4 Mt at 0.7 g/t
gold) a year ago.
Centerra’s proven and probable copper mineral reserves total an estimated 2,568 million pounds of
contained copper (575.3 Mt at 0.202% copper) compared to an estimated 2,049 million pounds of
contained copper (496.2 Mt at 0.187% copper) a year ago.
The mineral reserve attributable to the Kemess Underground of 1.9 million ounces of contained gold
and 630 million pounds of contained copper (107.4 Mt at 0.5 g/t gold and 0.266% copper at an NSR
cut-off of C$17.30 per tonne) have been include d in the mineral reserve statement following the
completion of Centerra’s acquisition of AuRico Metals on January 8, 2018.
Scott Perry, President and CEO of Centerra said: “W ith the recent acquisition of AuRico Metals, including
the Kemess Project’s mineral reserves and resources, and our successful brownfields exploration at the Mount
Milligan Mine and the Öksüt Project, we were able to offset the depletion of 1.1 million contained ounces of
gold during 2017. The addition of the Kemess Project c ontinues to expand our gold and copper reserves and
resources within northern British Columbia and continues to diversify our geographical asset mix.”
Year-end Gold Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources
Mineral Reserves
Centerra’s estimated proven and probable gold mineral reserves increased by 343,000 contained ounces, after
processing of 1.1 million contained ounces of gold in 2017 and the addition of 1.9 million contained ounces
of gold as a result of the purchase of AuRico Metals wh ich closed on January 8, 2018. Centerra’s proven and
probable mineral reserves now total an estimated 16.3 million ounces of contained gold (746.8 Mt at 0.7 g/t
gold), compared to 16 million contained ounces (673.4 Mt at 0.7 g/t gold) as of December 31, 2016. The
2017 year-end gold mineral reserves have been verified a nd estimated using a gold price of $1,250 per ounce,
except for the Kumtor Mine and the Kemess Undergr ound Project which used a gold price of $1,200 per
ounce. At the Kumtor Mine estimating gold mineral reserves using a gold price of $1,250 per ounce would
result in no material change to the contained ounces.

At the Kumtor Mine, in the Kyrgyz Republic, prove n and probable gold mineral reserves decreased by
641,000 contained ounces, after accounting for depleti on of 719,000 contained ounces in 2017. In 2017
mineral reserves d ecreased primarily due to mining depletion offset by a 165,000 ounce positive
reconciliation from the Central Pit stockpiles and a 88,000 ounce negative model adjustment at Sarytor. As a
result, Kumtor’s proven and probable mineral reserves now total an estimated 4.5 million ounces of contained
gold (57.1 Mt at 2.4 g/t gold) at the end of Decembe r 2017, compared to 5.1 million contained ounces (63.1
Mt at 2.5 g/t gold) as of December 31, 2016.
In Canada, at the Mount Milligan Mine, proven a nd probable mineral reserves decreased by 623,000
contained ounces of gold, after processing 365,000 contained ounces of gold in 2017. In 2017 mineral
reserves decreased primarily due to mining depletion and model adjustments which included a new gold
capping grade and revised exchange rate. As a result, Mt. Milligan’s proven and probable mineral reserves
now total an estimated 5.1 million ounces of contained gold (468 Mt at 0.3 g/t gold) at the end of December
2017, compared to 5.8 million contained ounces gold (496.2 Mt at 0.4 g/t gold) as of December 31, 2016.
Due to the Company’s recent acquisition of AuRico Metals, an estimated 1.9 million ounces of contained
gold have been added to proven and probable mineral reserves attributable to the Kemess Underground (107.4
Mt at 0.5 g/t gold).
At the Company’s 50% owned Greenstone Gold Prope rty, in Canada, the proven and probable mineral
reserves at the Hardrock Project are unchanged at an estimated 2.3 million contained ounces (Centerra’s
share) (70.8 Mt at 1.0 g/t gold) at the end of December 2017.
In Turkey, at the Öksüt Project, the proven and probable mineral reserve s have increased slightly by 26,000
contained ounces, as a result of 23 new drill holes that were included in the resource model for 2017 and
various model adjustments. The drill holes were completed primarily to further delineate in-pit mineralization
within the Keltepe and Güneytepe open pits. As a re sult, Öksüt’s proven and probable mineral reserves now
total an estimated 1.2 million ounces of gold (28.2 Mt at 1.3 g/t gold) at the end of December 2017, compared
to an estimated 1.2 million ounces of gold (26.1 Mt at 1.4 g/t gold) as of December 31, 2016.
In Mongolia, at the Gatsuurt Project proven and probable mineral reserves were updated in the third quarter of
2017 and remain unchanged at an estimated 1.3 million contained ounces of gold (15.4 Mt at 2.7 g/t gold).
Mineral Resources
Centerra’s measured and indicated gold mineral resources, exclusive of gold mineral reserves, increased by
2.8 million contained ounces compared to the Decembe r 31, 2016 estimate and are now estimated to total
10.2 million ounces of contained gold (559.2 Mt at 0.6 g/t gold). The increase is primarily a result of the
inclusion of 3.2 million contained ounces of gold (1 .5 million contained ounces of gold from the Kemess
Underground and 1.7 million contained ounces of gold from the Kemess East depos it) as a result of the
acquisition of AuRico Metals and the removal of 771 ,000 contained gold ounces of measured and indicated
mineral resources from the ATO property in Mongolia as a result of the sale of the property to Steppe Gold
LLC and Steppe Gold Limited.
Centerra’s inferred gold mineral resource estimate tota ls 6.8 million contained ounces of gold (168 Mt at 1.3
g/t gold), an increase of 1.0 million contained ounces fro m December 31, 2016. The increase is primarily a
result of the inclusion of 917,000 contained ounces of gold (277,000 contained ounces of gold from the
Kemess Underground and 640,000 cont ained ounces of gold from the Kemess East deposit) as a result of the
acquisition of AuRico Metals. In addition, at Mt. Milligan inferred mineral resources increased by 265,000
contained ounces of gold from additional drilling.

Year-end Copper Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources
Mineral Reserves
Centerra’s proven and probable copper mineral reserves total an estimat ed 2,568 million pounds of contained
copper (575.3 Mt at 0.202% copper). The copper mineral reserves have been estimated based on a copper
price of $3.00 per pound for the Mount Milligan Mine and a copper price of $2.50 per pound for the Kemess
Underground Project.
At the Mount Milligan Mine, proven and probable mineral reserves decreased by 111 million contained
pounds of copper, after processing 72 m illion contained pounds of copper in 2017. In 2017 mineral reserves
decreased primarily due to mining depletion and model adjustments. As a result, Mt. Milligan’s proven and
probable mineral reserves now total an estimated 1, 938 million pounds of cont ained copper (468 Mt at
0.188% copper) at the end of December 2017, compared to 2,049 million contain poun ds of copper (496.2 Mt
0.187% copper) as of December 31, 2016.
The Company’s recent acquisition of AuRico Metals added proven and probable reserves from the Kemess
Underground of an estimated 630 million pounds of contained copper (107.4 Mt at 0.266% copper).
Mineral Resources
Centerra’s measured and indicated copper mineral resources, exclusive of mineral reserves, total an estimated
5,541 million pounds of contained copper (988 Mt at 0.254% copper). The copper mineral resources are
located at the Mount Milligan Mine, the Berg Pr operty, the Kemess Underground, and Kemess East
properties that are all located in Canada.
At Mount Milligan, measured and indicated mineral resources total an estimat ed 663 million pounds of
contained copper (229.7 Mt at 0.131% copper) at the e nd of December 2017 and have been estimated based
on a copper price of $3.50 per pound. In comparison to the end of December 2016 measured and indicated
resources have decreased by 55 million contained copper pounds.
The acquisition of AuRico Metals added the Kemess Underground and Kemess East projects to the
Company’s copper statement. Kemess added measured and indicated resources of an estimated 1,519 million
contained copper pounds. This is based on Kemess Underground measu red and indicated resources of 139
Mt at 0.184% copper or an estimated 565 million c ontained copper pounds and Kemess East measured and
indicated resources of 113 Mt at 0.383% copper or an estimated 954 million contained copper pounds.
Centerra’s inferred copper mineral resource estimate totals 1,427 million pounds of cont ained copper (265.0
Mt at 0.244% copper). This includes at Mount Milligan an estimated 111 million pounds of contained copper
(35 Mt at 0.143% copper) that represents a year-over-y ear increase of 80 million pounds of contained copper
that is largely attributable to additional in-pit drilling completed in 2017. The Company continues to build on
this exploration success with additional drilling planned in 2018.
The Company’s inferred copper mineral resources also increased through the acquisition of AuRico Metals
whose inferred copper mineral resources are an estim ated 583 million contained copper pounds (85.4 Mt at
0.309% copper), including an estim ated 105 million contained copper pounds (21.6 Mt at 0.220% copper) at
Kemess Underground and an estimated 478 million contai ned copper pounds (63.8 Mt at 0.340% copper) at
Kemess East.
