Caution Regarding Forward-Looking Information
2September 2018
Information contained in this document which are not statements of historical facts, and the documents incorporated by reference herein, may be “forward-looking information” for the purposes of Canadian securities laws. Suchforward-looking information involves risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results, performance, prospects and opportunities to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward lookinginformation. The words “believe”, “expect”, “anticipate”, “contemplate”, “plan”, “intends”, “continue”, “budget”, “estimate”, “may”, “will”, “schedule”, “understand” and similar expressions identify forward-looking information.These forward-looking statements relate to, among other things, our expectations regarding: water availability at the Mount Milligan mine, mill throughput levels expected for the remainder of 2018, the outcome and timing of theCompany’s request for an amendment to the Mount Milligan environmental assessment certificate, and the timing for when all sandy gravel in the Mount Milligan TSF is covered by tailings; the closing of the Strategic Agreemententered into with the Kyrgyz Republic Government and the related resolution of outstanding matters which affect the Kumtor Project; the progress of development activities at the Öksüt Project, including expected dates ofcompletion for various development activities, and expected costs and timing to first gold pour; the Company’s expectations on receiving permits for the Kemess project and the availability and timing for obtaining financing for theKemess project; operational plans at Kumtor and Mount Milligan in 2018; the timing for the EIS/EA decision for the Hardrock Project; the Company’s cash on hand, working capital, future cash flows and existing credit facilitiesbeing sufficient to fund anticipated operating cash requirements; exploration plans for the remainder of 2018 and 2019, including the execution of the Kumtor drill program; and statements found under the heading, “2018Outlook”, including updated forecast 2018 production costs, capital and exploration expenditures and taxes.

the Company’s ability to attract and retain qualified personnel; competition for mineral acquisition opportunities; and risks associated with the conductof joint ventures/partnerships; the Company’s ability to manage its projects effectively and to mitigate the potential lack of availability of contractors, budget and timing overruns and project resources. See section titled “Risks thatcan affect our business” in the Company’s most recently filed Annual Information Form available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
Furthermore, market price fluctuations in gold and copper, as well as increased capital or production costs or reduced recovery rates may render ore reserves containing lower grades of mineralization uneconomic and mayultimately result in a restatement of reserves. The extent to which resources may ultimately be reclassified as proven or probable reserves is dependent upon the demonstration of their profitable recovery. Economic andtechnological factors which may change over time always influence the evaluation of reserves or resources. Centerra has not adjusted mineral resource figures in consideration of these risks and, therefore, Centerra can give noassurances that any mineral resource estimate will ultimately be reclassified as proven and probable reserves.
There can be no assurances that forward-looking information and statements will prove to be accurate, as many factors and future events, both known and unknown could cause actual results, performance or achievements to varyor differ materially, from the results, performance or achievements that are or may be expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements contained herein or incorporated by reference. Accordingly, all such factors should beconsidered carefully when making decisions with respect to Centerra, and prospective investors should not place undue reliance on forward looking information. Forward-looking information is as of September 21, 2018. Centerraassumes no obligation to update or revise forward looking information to reflect changes in assumptions, changes in circumstances or any other events affecting such forward-looking information, except as required by applicablelaw. Except as otherwise noted herein, Gordon Reid, Professional Engineer and Centerra’s Vice President & Chief Operating Officer, has reviewed and approved the scientific and technical information contained in this presentation.Mr. Reid is a Qualified Person within the meaning of NI 43-101.

(1) Refer to National Instrument 43-101 technical report dated July 12, 2017 Technical Report for the Kemess Underground and Kemess East Project, British Columbia, Canada, available in the AuRico Metals filings on SEDAR. Kemess East Project (KE) preliminary economic assessment (PEA) is preliminary in nature and includes inferred mineral resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves, and there is no certainty that the PEA will be realized.
(2) Kemess Underground P&P reserves are estimated using a gold price of $1,200 per ounce, copper price of $2.50 per pound, an exchange rate of 1USD:1.33CAD and an NSR cut-off of C$17.30 per tonne. M&I resources are estimated using a gold price of $1,275 per ounce, copper price of $3.20 per pound, an exchange rate of 1USD:1.33CAD and an NSR cut-off of C$15.00 per tonne.
(3) Kemess East resources are estimated using a gold price of $1,275 per ounce, copper price of $3.20 per pound, an exchange rate of 1USD:1.32CAD and an NSR cut-off of C$17.30 per tonne.

Consolidated Total $100 $1371) Mount Milligan payable production and ounces sold are on a 100% basis (the Mount Milligan Streaming Arrangement entitles Royal Gold to 35% and 18.75% of gold and copper sales, respectively and Royal Gold will pay $435 per ounce of gold delivered and 15% of the spot price per metric tonne of copper delivered). The copper sales are based on a copper price assumption of $2.90 per pound sold for Centerra’s 81.25% share of copper production and the remaining 18.75% of copper revenue at $0.44 per pound (15% of spot price, assuming spot at $2.90 per pound), representing the Mount Milligan Streaming Arrangement. Payable production for copper and gold reflects estimated metallurgical losses resulting from handling of the concentrate and payable metal deductions, subject to metal content, levied by smelters. 2) Gold production assumes 79% recovery at Kumtor and 61% recovery at Mount Milligan.3) Copper production assumes 79% recovery for copper at Mount Milligan. 4) Includes revenue-based tax at Kumtor and the British Columbia mineral tax at Mount Milligan based on a forecast gold price assumption of $1,275 per ounce sold 5) Non-GAAP measures and are discussed under “Non-GAAP Measures” in the MDA and news release of August 1, 2018
1 Gold and copper price sensitivities include the impact of the hedging program set up in order to mitigate gold and copper price risks.2 Appreciation of currency against the U.S. dollar will result in higher costs and lower cash flow and earnings, depreciation of currency against the U.S. dollar results in decreased costs and increased cash flow and earnings. 3 All-in sustaining costs per ounce sold (“AISC”) on a by-product basis is a non-GAAP measure discussed under “Non-GAAP Measures” in the Company’s news release August 1, 2018.
