Scott Perry, President and Chief Executive Officer of Centerra, said: “Our Mount Milligan and Öksüt Mines

paved the way for our strong operating performance in 2021, ena bling us to achieve the upper end of our gold

production guidance. At the same time, our gold production costs per ounce and all-in sustaining costs on a by-

product basis per ounceNG are expected to be at the lower end and below their respective 2021 guidance ranges.

In the year ahead, we expect to see continued strong operationa l performance at Mount Milligan and Öksüt,

with increased gold production levels and significant generatio n of cash provided by operating activities and

free cash flowNG.”

(1) The Mount Milligan Streaming Arrangement entitles Royal Gold to 35% and 18.75% of gold and copper sales, respectively, and req uires Royal Gold to

pay $435 per ounce of gold and 15% of the spot price per metric tonne of copper delivered. Assuming a market gold price of $1,700 per ounce and market

copper price of $4.00 per pound, Mount Milligan’s average realized gold and copper price would be $1,257 per ounce and $3.36 per pound, respectively.

(2) Unit costs and consolidated unit costs include a credit for for ecasted copper sales treated as by-product for all-in sustainin g costs. Production for copper

and gold reflects estimated metallurgical losses resulting from handling of the concentrate and metal deductions, subject to metal content, levied by smelters.

(3) As disclosed in the Company’s news release and MD&A dated August 10, 2021.

(4) Gold and copper production at Mount Milligan assumes recoveries of 69% and 81%, respectively, and 72% (project-to-date) gold recovery at Öksüt. 2022

gold ounces and copper pounds sold are expected to be consistent with production.

(5) Sustaining capital expenditures include cash and non-cash components of capitalized stripping. Consolidated sustaining capital includes $5 million related

to other operations.

(6) Non-sustaining capital expenditures are distinct projects designed to have a significant increase the net present value of the mine.

Centerra’s 2022 gold production is expected to be between 400,0 00 to 450,000 ounces, compared to the

previous 2022 guidance of 380,000 to 430,000 ounces disclosed in the Company’s news release for the second

quarter of 2021.

Mount Milligan’s 2022 gold production is expected to be in the range of 190,000 to 210,000 ounces compared

to the previously issued guidance of 170,000 to 190,000 ounces. Copper production is expected to be in the

range of 70 to 80 million pounds c ompared to the previous guida nce of 90 to 100 million pounds. Gold and

copper production are expected to be back-end weighted in 2022, with the first half of the year representing

40% of the 2022 annual metal production total while the second half of the year will represent up to 60% of the

2022 annual metal production total. The changes to expected gold and copper production at the Mount Milligan

Mine are due to planned mine sequence changes.

At Öksüt, 2022 gold production is expected to be in the range of 210,000 to 240,000 ounces, which is unchanged

from the previously issued guidance. Gold production is expecte d to be back-end weighted in 2022, with the

first half of the year representing 40% or more of the 2022 ann ual gold production total while the second half

of the year will represent up to 60% of the 2022 annual gold production total. The average grade of ore stacked

to the heap leach pad in 2022 is expected to be approximately 2 .30 g/t Au. Gold production guidance assumes

that mining will continue at the Keltepe pit and the Güneytepe pit and assumes the receipt of permits from local

authorities mid-year.

Gold production costs are forecasted to be $500 to $550 per oun ce, a reduction from the previously issued

guidance of $550 to $600, primarily driven by lower than expect ed operating expenses at the Öksüt Mine.

Consolidated AISC on a by-product basis per ounceNG is expected to be in the range of $600 to $650 an increase

from previously issued guidance of $450 to $500 per ounce, prim arily due to a decrease in copper credits and

an increase in estimated sustaining capital expenditures at the Mount Milligan Mine.

Consolidated cash provided by operating activities and free cash flowNG are expected to be in the range of $300

to $350 million and the range of $200 to $250 million, respectively.

2022 Molybdenum Business Unit

In 2022, care and maintenance expenses related to the Molybdenu m Business Unit, including reclamation

expenditures, are currently estimated to be between $20 and $25 million. These costs are expected to be partially

offset by the cash generated from molybdenum roasting, with tot al net cash required to maintain the

Molybdenum Business Unit expected to be in the range of $15 to $20 million. The Company’s assumed

molybdenum price for 2022 is $17.00 per pound.

2022 Taxes

Income tax in relation to Öksüt is estimated to be between $80 to $90 million, reflecting a 23% income tax rate,

as well as withholding tax on expected repatriation of earnings. The higher 2022 tax expense at the Öksüt Mine

also reflects the full utilization of the Investment Incentive Certificate by the end of 2021. The Mount Milligan

Mine is subject to British Columbia mineral tax which is forecast to be between $5 and $10 million.

2022 Material Assumptions

Material assumptions or factors used to forecast production and costs for 2022, after giving effect to the hedges

in place as at December 31, 2021, include the following:

 a market gold price of $1,700 per ounce and an average realized gold price at the Mount Milligan Mine

of $1,257 per ounce after reflec ting the streaming arrangement with Royal Gold (35% of the Mount

Milligan Mine’s gold at $435 per ounce).

 a market copper price of $4.00 per pound and an average realize d copper price at the Mount Milligan

Mine of $3.36 per pound after re flecting the streaming arrangem ent with Royal Gold (18.75% of the

Mount Milligan Mine’s copper at 15% of the spot price per metric tonne).

 a molybdenum price of $17.00 per pound.

 exchange rates: $1USD:$1.26 Canadian dollar; $1USD:13.0 Turkish lira; with a Turkish inflation

assumption of 36%.

 diesel fuel price assumption: $0.72/litre (CAD$0.91/litre) at the Mount Milligan Mine.

Mount Milligan Streaming Arrangement

The Mount Milligan Mine is an open pit mine located in north ce ntral British Columbia, Canada producing a

gold and copper concentrate. Production at the Mount Milligan Mine is subject to an arrangement with RGLD

Gold AG and Royal Gold, Inc. (together, “Royal Gold”) pursuant to which Royal Gold is entitled to purchase

35% of the gold produced and 18.75% of the copper production at the Mount Milligan Mine for $435 per ounce

of gold delivered and 15% of the spot price per metric tonne of copper delivered (the “Mount Milligan

Streaming Arrangement”). To satis fy its obligations under the M ount Milligan Streaming Arrangement, the

Company purchases refined gold and copper warrants and arranges for delivery to Royal Gold. The difference

between the cost of the purchases of refined gold and copper warrants, and the corresponding amounts payable

to the Company under the Mount M illigan Streaming Arrangement i s recorded as a reduction of revenue and

not a cost of operating the mine.

Other Material Assumptions

Other material assumptions used in forecasting production and c osts for 2022 can be found under the heading

“Caution Regarding Forward-Looki ng Information” in this documen t. Production, cost, and capital forecasts

for 2022 are forward-looking information and are based on key assumptions and subject to material risk factors

that could cause actual results to differ materially, and which are discussed under the heading “Risks That Can

Affect Our Business” in the Company’s most recent Annual Information Form. The costs and cashflow impact

associated with continued litigation and/or potential settlemen t of the Kumtor Mine dispute has not be

incorporated into the 2022 guidance.

2022 Sensitivities

Centerra’s revenues, earnings, and cash flows for 2022 are sens itive to changes in certain key inputs or

currencies. The Company has estimated the impact of any such changes.

Mount Milligan Technical Report and Three-Year Outlook / 2023 Guidance Update

The Company expects to conclude its ongoing life of mine planning work and issue a new National Instrument

43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101 ”) technical report for the Mount Milligan

Mine in the second quarter of 2022. Accordingly, the Company is reviewing its consolidated three-year outlook,

including 2023 guidance (which is likely to change and should no longer be relied upon). The Company expects

to release an updated three-year outlook during the second quarter.

Qualified Person & QA/QC – Production Information

The production information and other scientific and technical information presented in this document, including

the production estimates were prepared in accordance with the s tandards of the Canadian Institute of Mining,

Metallurgy and Petroleum and NI 43-101 and were prepared, revie wed, verified, and compiled by Centerra’s

geological and mining staff under the supervision of Slobodan ( Bob) Jankovic, Professional Geoscientist,

member of the Association of Pro fessional Geoscientists of Onta rio (APGO) and Centerra’s Senior Director,

Technical Services, who is a qualified person for the purpose o f NI 43-101. Unless otherwise noted below,

sample preparation, analytical techniques, laboratories used an d quality assurance-quality control protocols

used during the exploration drilling programs are done consiste nt with industry standards and independent

certified assay labs are used.

The Mount Milligan deposit is described in a NI 43-101 technica l report dated March 26, 2020 and filed on

SEDAR at www.sedar.com. The technical report describes the exp loration history, geology, and style of gold

mineralization at the Mount Milligan deposit. Sample preparation, analytical techniques, laboratories used, and

quality assurance-quality control protocols used during the exp loration drilling program s are done consistent

with industry standards and independent certified assay labs are used.

The Öksüt deposit is described in a NI 43-101 technical report dated September 3, 2015 and filed on SEDAR

at www.sedar.com. The technical report describes the exploratio n history, geology, and style of gold

mineralization at the Öksüt de posit. Sample preparation, analy tical techniques, laboratories used, and quality

assurance-quality control protocols used during the exploration drilling programs are done consistent with

industry standards and independent certified assay labs are used.

Non-GAAP Measures

The Company elected to present the World Gold Council’s (“WGC”) financial measure AIC, which

incorporates non-sustaining capital expenditures and certain development and overhead costs in addition to the

sustaining costs that are included in the AISC on a by-product basis metric. Management believes the AIC

metric will assist stakeholders in understanding the costs asso ciated with producing gold over the entire

lifecycle of the mine.

This document contains the following non-GAAP financial measure s: all-in sustaining costs on a by-product

basis per ounce, all-in sustaining costs on a co-product basis per ounce of gold or per pound of copper, all-in

costs on a by-product basis per ounce and free cash flow.

Management believes that the use of these non-GAAP measures ass ists analysts, investors and other

stakeholders of the Company in understanding the costs associat ed with producing gold, understanding the

economics of gold mining, assessing operating performance, the Company’s ability to generate free cash flow

from current operations and on an overall Company basis, and fo r planning and forecasting of future periods.

However, the measures have limitations as analytical tools as t hey may be influenced by the point in the life

cycle of a specific mine and the level of additional exploration or expenditures a company has to make to fully

develop its properties. These financial measures do not have an y standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP

and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by othe r issuers, even as compared to other issuers

who may be applying the WGC guidelines. Accordingly, these non-GAAP measures should not be considered

in isolation, or as a substitute for, analysis of the Company’s recognized measures presented in accordance with

IFRS.

Definitions

The following is a description of the non-GAAP measures used in this news release:

 All-in sustaining costs on a by-product basis per ounce are calculated as the aggregate of production

costs as recorded in the conden sed consolidated interim stateme nts of earnings (loss), refining and

transport costs, cash component of capitalized stripping and su staining capital expenditures, lease

payments related to sustaining assets, corporate general and ad ministrative expenses, accretion

expenses, asset retirement depletion expenses, copper and silver revenue and the associated impact of

hedging by-product sales revenue. When calculating all-in susta ining costs on a by-product basis, all

revenue received from the sale of copper from the Mount Milliga n Mine, as reduced by the effect of

the copper stream, is treated as a reduction of costs incurred.

 All-in sustaining costs on a co-product basis per ounce of gold or per pound of copper are based on an

allocation of production costs between copper and gold based on the conversion of copper production

to equivalent ounces of gold. For 2022, based on the assumed co pper price of $4.00 per pound and

assumed gold price of $1,700 per ounce, 425 pounds of copper was equivalent to one ounce of gold.

 All-in costs on a by-product basis per ounce includes all-in sustaining costs on a by-product basis,

exploration and study costs, non-sustaining capital expenditure s, care and maintenance and pre-

development costs.

 Free cash flow is calculated as cash provided by operating activities less add itions to property, plant

and equipment.
