Toronto, Canada, January 31, 2020: Centerra Gold Inc. (“Centerra”) (TSX: CG) is pleased to announce that
the first gold pour from its Öksüt Mine in Turkey occurred today which is on schedule and ahead of budget.
Additionally, the project achieved a significant safety milestone this week, achieving two million work hours

Scott Perry, President and Chief Executive Officer of Centerra stated, “Congratulations to the team at Öksüt on
pouring first gold and for doing so safely. This is an important milestone for the project and for the growth of
the Company as Öksüt is now our third operating mine and our third source of gold production going forward.
Reaching the first gold pour is a testament to the dedication and hard work that our Öksüt team has put in to
reach this goal safely.”
“This milestone would not have been achieved without the initial conviction and perseverance from the Centerra
exploration team given that the Öksüt Mine, originally started as a greenfield exploration venture in 2009.”
“Finally, I would like to thank all of the stakeholders of the Öksüt Project, including the local communities and
the relevant government authorities, who have worked with us constructively over many years.”
