NEWS RELEASE
Centerra Gold 2018 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 1 3. All figures are in United States dollars unless
otherwise stated.
Toronto, Canada, February 22, 2019: Centerra Gold Inc. (“Centerra”) (TSX: CG) today issued its 2018 year-
end estimates for mineral reserves and mineral resources. 2018 year-end mineral reserves have been estimated
based on a gold price of $1,250 per ounce and a copper price of $3.00 per pound.
Highlights:
• Measured and indicated gold mineral resources increased by 2.1 million ounces of contained gold,
excluding the impact of the sale of the Company’s Mongolian business unit (933,000 contained
ounces), to 11.3 million ounces of contained gold (758.8 million tonnes (Mt) at 0.5 g/t gold), exclusive
of gold mineral reserves.
• Proven and probable gold mineral reserves total 14.2 million ounces of contained gold (706.3 Mt at 0.6
g/t gold) a decrease of 782,000 ounces of contained gold, excluding the impact of the sale of the
Company’s Mongolian business unit (1.3 million contained ounces).
• Measured and indicated copper mineral resources increased by 296 million contained pounds to 5,836
million pounds of contained copper (1,090 Mt at 0.243% copper), exclusive of copper mineral reserves.
• Proven and probable copper mineral reserves total an estimated 2,465 million pounds of contained
copper (555 Mt at 0.202% copper).
Year-end Gold Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources
Mineral Reserves
At December 31, 2018, proven and probable gold mineral reserves total an estimated 14.2 million contained
ounces (706.3 Mt at 0.6 g/t gold), compared to 16.3 million contained ounces (746.8 Mt at 0.7 g/t gold) the
prior year. During 2018, proven and probable gold mineral reserves decreased by 2.1 million contained ounces,
after processing of 977,000 contained ounces and a net deletion of 1.1 million contained ounces. The decrease
in gold mineral reserve contained ounces is primarily due to the Company’s sale of the Mongolian business unit
(Gatsuurt Project) that represented 1.3 million contained ounces of mineral reserves. Excluding the impact of
the sale of the Company’s Mongolian business unit gold mineral reserves decreased by 782,000 contained
ounces in 2018. The 2018 year-end gold mineral reserves have been estimated using a gold price of $1,250 per
ounce.
At the Kumtor Mine, in the Kyrgyz Republic, at the end of December 2018, proven and probable gold mineral
reserves total an estimated 4.0 million ounces of contained gold ( 51.6 Mt at 2.4 g/t gold), compared to 4.5
million contained ounces (57.1 Mt at 2.4 g/t gold) as at December 31, 2017. During 2018, proven and probable
gold mineral reserves decreased by 471,000 contained ounces, after accounting for processing of 668,000
contained ounces in 2018, of which 11,000 contained ounces came from processing gold-bearing carbon fines,
and further offset by a 24,000 ounce positive reconciliation from the Central Pit stockpiles and a 162,000 ounce
positive reconciliation to the resource model in the Central Pit.

In Canada, at the Mount Mill igan Mine, proven and probable gold mineral reserves total an estimated 4.7
million ounces of contained gold (447.6 Mt at 0.3 g/t gold) as at December 31, 2018, compared to 5.1 million
contained ounces gold (467.9 Mt at 0.3 g/t gold) at the end of December 2017. For 2018, proven and probable
gold mineral reserves decreased by 401,000 contained ounces of gold, after processing 309,000 contained
ounces of gold and the impact of various model adjustments made in 2018.
At the Kemess Property, in Canada, the proven and probable gold mineral reserves at the Kemess Underground
Project are unchanged at an estimated 1.9 million contained ounces ( 107.4 Mt at 0.5 g/t gold) at the end of
December 2018.
At the Company’s 50% owned Greenstone Gold Property, in Canada, t he proven and probable gold 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 2018.
In Turkey, at the Öksüt Project, proven and probable gold mineral reserves total an estimated 1.3 million ounces
of gold (28.8 Mt at 1.4 g/t gold) at the end of December 2018, up from the estimated 1.2 million ounces of gold
(28.2 Mt at 1.3 g/t gold) as at December 31, 2017. The proven and probable gold mineral reserves increased
by 91,000 contained ounces, because of 16 new drill holes that were included in the resource model for 2018.
The drill holes were primarily completed to further delineate in-pit mineralization within the Keltepe open pit.
Due to the Company’s recent divestiture in 2018 of its Mongolian assets, an estimated 1.3 million ounces of
contained gold have been removed from the proven and probable gold mineral reserves attributable to the sale
of the Gatsuurt Project (15.4 Mt at 2.7 g/t gold).
Mineral Resources
Measured and indicated gold mineral resources, exclusive of gold mineral reserves, increased by 2.1 million
ounces of contained gold, excluding the impact of the sale of the Company’s Mongolian business unit (993,000
contained ounc es), to 11.3 million ounces of contained gold ( 758.8 Mt at 0 .5 g/t gold) , compared to the
December 31, 2017. The increase is a result of exploration success at Kumtor and Mount Milligan and changes
in the metal price assumptions at the Kemess Project.
At Kumtor, measured and indicated gold mineral resources increased by 330,000 contained ounces to 3.0
million contained ounces of gold (32.2 Mt at 2.9 g/t gold) due to the inclusion of exploration results from the
2018 drilling campaign and from the generation of a new open pit shell that constrained the resource.
At the Mount Milligan Mine 860,000 contained ounces of gold were added to measured and indicated gold
mineral resources in 2018 as a result of the successful drilling program and now measured and indicated gold
mineral resources total 2.7 million ounces of contained gold (342.2 Mt at 0.2 g/t gold).
At the Kemess Underground and Kemess East projects a re-estimation of the measured and indicated gold
resources was completed to unify our resources on the same metal price basis, using metal prices assumptions
of $1,450/oz gold and $3.50/lb copper (previously $1,275/oz gold and $3.20/lb copper) . After t he change to
metal prices and exchange rate changes (previously US$1:C$1.32, now US$1:C$1.25) Kemess Underground
and Kemess East measured and indicated gold ounces increased by 277,000 and 625,000 contained ounces
respectively.
Inferred gold mineral resource estimate totals 6.2 million contained ounces of gold (151.3 Mt at 1.3 g/t gold),
a decrease of 62 9,000 contained ounces from December 31, 2017. The decrease is primarily a result of the
reduction of 511,000 of contained ounces of gold as a result of the divestiture of the Mongolian assets in 2018.
In addition, at Kemess East inferred mineral resources decreased by 357,000 contained ounces of gold from
additional drilling that converted a portion of the inferred ounces to the indicated category. At Kumtor inferred

mineral resources increased by 8,000 contained ounces because of exploration drilling and the generation of a
new constraining economic pit shell. At Öksüt additional in-fill drilling in the Keltepe open pit converted
58,000 contained ounces to the measured and indicated categories. These decreases were offset by the addition
of 252,000 contained ounces at the Kemess Underground project due to the change in resource metal prices
assumptions.
Year-end Copper Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources
Mineral Reserves
Proven and probable copper mineral reserves total an estimated 2,465 million pounds of contained copper (555
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 the Kemess Underground Project.
At the Mount Milligan M ine, proven and probable copper mineral reserves total an estimated 1,836 million
pounds of contained copper (448 Mt at 0.186% copper) at the end of December 2018, compared to 1,938 million
contained pounds of copper (468 Mt 0.188 % copper) as of December 31, 2017. Proven and probable copper
mineral reserves decreased by 103 million contained pounds of copper, after processing 61 million contained
pounds of copper in 2018. During 2018, mineral reserves decreased primarily due to mining depletion, but was
also affect ed by geological model changes, modifications to the copper recovery curve and an increase in
concentrate transportation costs.
At the Kemess Property, proven and probable copper mineral reserves are unchanged at the Kemess
Underground Project and are estimated to be 630 million pounds of contained copper (107 Mt at 0.266% copper)
at the end of December 2018.
Mineral Resources
Measured and indicated copper mineral resources, exclusive of mineral reserves, total an estimated 5,836
million pounds of contained copper (1,090 Mt at 0.243% copper). The copper mineral resources are located at
the Mount Milligan Mine, the Berg Property, the Kemess Underground, and Kemess East properties that are all
located in Canada.
At Mount Milligan, measured and indicated mineral resou rces increased by 365 million pounds of contained
copper to an estimated 1,028 million pounds of contained copper (342 Mt at 0.136% cop per) at the end of
December 2018 as a result of successful exploration drilling activities in 2018 and have been estimated based
on a copper price of $3.50 per pound.
Measured and indicated resources that are exclusive of reserves increased by an estimated 588 million contained
copper pounds at the Kemess Project . This increase in copper pounds is attributable to an incr ease of 132
million pounds of contained copper at Kemess Underground that was due to a change to the metal price
assumptions (changed to standardize them across our sites) and an increase of 456 million pounds of contained
copper at Kemess East because of the standardization of corporate metal prices and the addition of 9 exploration
drill hole results that converted inferred material to the indicated category. The Kemess Underground measured
and indicated resources are 174 Mt at 0.182% copper or an estimated 697 million pounds of contained copper
and Kemess East measured and indicated resources of 178 Mt at 0.360% copper or an estimated 1,410 million
pounds of contained copper.
Centerra’s inferred copper mineral resource estimate totals 607 million pounds of contained copper (132 Mt at
0.209% copper). This includes at Mount Milligan an estimated 115 million pounds of contained copper (41 Mt
at 0.127% copper) that represents a year -over-year increase of 4 million pounds of contained copper that is
attributable to additional in-pit drilling completed in 2018. At Kemess Underground this includes 210 million
pounds of contained copper ( 48 Mt at 0.20% copper) and at Kemess East 203 million pounds of contained
copper (29 Mt at 0.31%).
