The words “believe”, “expect”, “anticipate”, “contemplate”, “target”, “plan”, “intends”, “continue”, “budget”, “estimate”, “may”, “will”, “schedule” and similar expressions identify forward-lookinginformation. These forward-looking statements relate to, among other things, the timing of publishing an updated NI 43-101 technical report for Mount Milligan, and our current expectations regarding a material reductionin Mount Milligan’s mineral reserves and resources and mine life; the Company’s expectations regarding future gold and copper production, all-in sustaining costs per ounce soldNG; the ramp-up of gold production at theÖksüt Mine; 2020 capital expenditures; 2020 exploration expenditures; and other statements made under the heading “2020 Outlook” including expected throughput at Mount Milligan; 2020 corporate administrationexpenses; 2020 depreciation, depletion and amortization expenses; 2020 tax expenses; 2020 financing costs; 2020 other costs and expectations for the Molybdenum Business Unit.

actions by the Government orany state agency or the General Prosecutor's Office that serve to restrict or otherwise interfere with the payment of funds by KGC and KOC to Centerra; resource nationalism including the management of externalstakeholder expectations; the impact of changes in, or to the more aggressive enforcement of, laws, regulations and government practices, including with respect to the environment, in the jurisdictions in which theCompany operates including any delays or refusals to grant required permits and licenses, unjustified civil or criminal action against the Company, its affiliates or its current or former employees; risks that communityactivism may result in increased contributory demands or business interruptions; the impact of any actions taken by the Kyrgyz Government and Parliament relating to the Kumtor Project Agreements which are inconsistentwith the rights of Centerra and KGC under the Kumtor Project Agreements;

the success of the Company’s future exploration and development activities,including the financial and political risks inherent in carrying out exploration activities; inherent risks associated with the use of sodium cyanide in the mining operations; the adequacy of the Company’s insurance tomitigate operational risks; mechanical breakdowns; the Company’s ability to replace its mineral reserves; the occurrence of any labour unrest or disturbance and the ability of the Company to successfully re-negotiatecollective agreements when required; the risk that Centerra’s workforce may be exposed to widespread epidemic; seismic activity in the vicinity of the Company’s properties; long lead times required for equipment andsupplies given the remote location of some of the Company’s operating properties;

See section titled “Risks that can affect our business” in the Company’s most recentlyfiled 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 cangive no assurances 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 orachievements to vary or 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 be considered carefully when making decisions with respect to Centerra, and prospective investors should not place undue reliance on forward looking information. Centerra assumes noobligation 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 applicable law.Except as otherwise noted herein, Gordon Reid, Professional Engineer, consultant and Centerra’s former Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, is the Qualified Person for the purpose of NI 43-101. For moreinformation, please refer to the properties’ technical reports, which are available on SEDAR. All figures are in United States dollars unless otherwise stated.March 2020
