What are your key goals in 3 months, 6 months, 12 months?
3 Months:
Centerra is focused on operational execution across our sites and advancing our organic growth pipeline of projects. At Mount Milligan we are focused on delivering against the updated mine plan outlined in the PFS released in September 2025.
We are also working on a Life of Mine Optimization Study at Öksüt to evaluate the asset’s full potential, including the incremental production potential of residual leaching of the heap leach facility and the inclusion of low-grade oxide mineralization outside of the current reserve pit into the mine plan. The study will explore options to increase gold recovery from existing leach pads through improved solution management and enhanced operating practices. The study is expected in early 2027 with Centerra’s year end disclosures.
6 Months:
Centerra is focused on the advancement of our projects. Construction and development activities are progressing at the Thompson Creek molybdenum mine in Idaho as the project continues to advance towards first production in mid-2027.
Our team is also advancing engineering and technical work on the next phase of studies at Kemess, with a PFS expected in mid-2027.
12 Months:
Work continues at the Goldfield project in Nevada where we recently achieved an important permitting milestone in the third quarter. All major permits are now in place for the Gemfield deposit, which accounts for approximately 80% of the life of mine production. Construction and development activities will be ramping up over the coming months with Goldfield representing Centerra’s next source of near-term gold production. First production is expected by the end of 2028.
Centerra will also be focused on continued operational and project execution to support in realizing the value of all assets in our portfolio.
What do you think makes your company such a compelling investment?
• Centerra Gold is a gold and copper producer, with a strong balance sheet and no debt, operating in favorable jurisdictions (Canada, USA, Türkiye) with exposure to strategic minerals through our US Molybdenum business.
• It is led by a strong, technically-focused management team and offers exposure to a growing North American production profile through our projects in Canada (Mount Milligan and Kemess) and in the US (Goldfield).
• Centerra has two long-life gold-copper assets in British Columbia, Canada (Mount Milligan and Kemess), both with meaningful exploration upside, giving us visibility on gold production well into the 2040’s and beyond.
• Centerra is trading at a discounted P/NAV multiple, backed by 5.5 Moz of gold and 1.7B lbs of copper reserves, 2026E production of 260-290kozs of gold and 50-60Mlbs of copper, and liquidity of almost $1 billion.
• Centerra has built a strong, balanced growth pipeline and as we continue to deliver on our operational plans and advance our project pipeline, we believe we have the potential to re-rate our valuation.
