TORONTO, Oct. 28, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Centerra Gold Inc. (“Centerra” or the “Company”) (TSX: CG and NYSE: CGAU) today reported its third quarter 2025 operating and financial results.

President and CEO, Paul Tomory, commented, “This quarter, Centerra sustained robust margins and generated nearly $100 million in free cash flow, driven by strong operational performance at Öksüt and elevated metal prices. Our cash balance increased to $562 million in the quarter, demonstrating our ability to fund the Thompson Creek restart project while returning $32 million of capital to shareholders through share buybacks and a quarterly dividend. We also continued to deploy capital strategically through our equity investment in Liberty Gold Corp., reflecting our balanced approach to growth and value creation.”

Paul Tomory continued, “Our self-funded growth strategy continues to advance across multiple fronts. In September, we published the Mount Milligan Pre-Feasibility Study results, which outlined a 10-year mine life extension to 2045 with a disciplined, fully funded $186 million growth capital plan, most of which will not be required until the early-to-mid-2030s. We also expect to publish a Preliminary Economic Assessment for Kemess in the first quarter of 2026. Together, these assets form a robust pipeline of long-life gold and copper projects in British Columbia, while our recently announced Goldfield project in Nevada, provides additional exposure to future gold production. Each of these growth opportunities, as well as the Thompson Creek re-start project in Idaho, can be funded using our existing liquidity and cash flow from operations, positioning Centerra to deliver sustainable, low-risk growth while maintaining our strategic approach to capital allocation.”

Nancy Lipson, Chair of Centerra’s Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, stated, “On behalf of the Board of Directors, I am pleased to announce that Paul Wright will succeed Michael Parrett as Chair of the Board of Directors, effective January 1, 2026. Paul has over 40 years of international experience in the successful development and operation of both underground and open pit mines, including 20 years as President and CEO of Eldorado Gold Corporation. The Board looks forward to his leadership as Centerra continues to execute its disciplined growth strategy.”

Nancy Lipson continued, “Since Mike’s appointment as Chair in 2019, the Company has undergone a significant transformation. His leadership was instrumental in guiding Centerra through a challenging period, including the negotiation of the Company’s exit from Central Asia, a CEO succession, and the establishment of a focused growth strategy. Mike will continue to serve as an independent director to ensure a smooth transition.”

• Returning capital to shareholders: Under Centerra’s normal course issuer bid (“NCIB”) program, the Company repurchased 2,839,983 common shares (“Shares”) in the third quarter 2025, for total consideration of $22.1 million. The Company’s board of directors has increased the approved level of share repurchases through the NCIB in 2025 to $100 million, of which, the Company has completed $64.0 million year-to-date. Centerra believes that the NCIB will continue to provide the Company with flexibility to strategically deploy cash in line with its capital allocation priorities, while maintaining the financial capacity to invest in future growth. A quarterly dividend of C$0.07 per common share was declared for a total of $10.3 million in the third quarter, and $31.1 million year-to-date.
• Intention to renew NCIB: Subject to the approval of the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”), Centerra intends to renew its NCIB to purchase for cancellation a number of Shares, representing the greater of 5% of the issued and outstanding Shares or 10% of the public float. As at October 28, 2025, Centerra had 201,731,082 issued and outstanding Shares.
  

Strategic Growth Initiatives

• Mount Milligan Life of Mine (“LOM”) extension to 2045: In September 2025, Centerra published the Pre-Feasibility Study (“PFS”) results for Mount Milligan which extends the LOM by approximately 10 years to 2045. This is supported by an optimized mine plan delivering average annual production of 150,000 ounces of gold and 69 million pounds of copper from 2026 to 2042, followed by the processing of low-grade stockpiles from 2043 to 2045. The study outlines a disciplined, fully funded growth capital plan of approximately $186 million, most of which is not required until the early-to-mid-2030s. This includes the construction of a second TSF, process plant upgrades and additional flotation cells to increase throughput by about 10% to 66,300 tonnes per day (“tpd”) and increase recovery by approximately 1%, and five new haul trucks to support longer haul distances, higher material movement, and stockpile development. Proven and probable reserves increased significantly to 4.4 million ounces of gold and 1.7 billion pounds of copper, representing a 56% and 52% increase, respectively, from year-end 2024. The PFS reaffirms Mount Milligan’s strong economics, with an after-tax NPV (5%) (“NPV_5%”) of approximately $1.5 billion at long-term gold and copper price assumptions of $2,600 per ounce and $4.30 per pound, respectively, confirming its position as a cornerstone asset with a long mine life, attractive cost structure, and continued exploration potential in a leading mining jurisdiction. For additional details, refer to the news release published on September 11, 2025 titled “Centerra Gold’s Mount Milligan PFS Outlines Mine Life to 2045, Delivering Growth with a Fully Funded, Disciplined $186 Million Growth Capital Plan”. On October 21, 2025, the technical report was filed in relation to Mount Milligan.
• Advancing the Goldfield project: In August 2025, Centerra completed a technical study of its Goldfield project (“Goldfield”), confirming robust project economics with an after-tax NPV_5% of $245 million and an after-tax internal rate of return (“IRR”) of 30%, based on a long-term gold price of $2,500 per ounce. The study includes the positive impact of gold collars, with a gold price floor of $3,200 per ounce, on a portion of production in 2029 and 2030 to lock in strong margins, safeguard economics in the early years of the project, and expedite the capital payback period. Goldfield’s initial capital cost is estimated at $252 million, including approximately $40 million in pre-production stripping and other costs. Goldfield is expected to deliver a streamlined, low-risk development path, with first production targeted by the end of 2028. Located in Nevada’s historic mining district, Goldfield benefits from a stable regulatory environment, skilled workforce, and strong support for resource development. Recent optimization work and technical enhancements, together with strong gold prices, have further improved project value and reduced risk, positioning Goldfield as a key near-term growth opportunity for Centerra. For additional details on Goldfield, refer to the news release published on August 6, 2025 titled “Centerra Gold Announces Attractive Economics on the Goldfield Project; Proceeding with Project Development and Construction Activities”.
• Kemess Preliminary Economic Assessment to be completed in the first quarter 2026: At the Kemess project (“Kemess”), the Company continues to successfully advance work on a Preliminary Economic Assessment (“PEA”), based on an open pit and longhole open stoping underground mining concept, which is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2026, and is expected to contain a fulsome discussion of the risks and opportunities relating to the Kemess project. Kemess has significant infrastructure already in place that will require refurbishment. To complement this existing infrastructure, it is anticipated that new crushing, conveying, and mine infrastructure will be required for the operations. Centerra expects the existing infrastructure to lower the execution risk for the project when compared with a typical greenfield project of this scale. The upcoming PEA is a significant milestone in advancing the Company’s growth pipeline and is expected to demonstrate Centerra’s focus on unlocking additional value from its assets in British Columbia, a top tier mining jurisdiction.
  

Board of Directors

• Board Chair Succession: Centerra announces Paul Wright will succeed Michael Parrett as Chair of the Board of Directors, effective January 1, 2026. Mr. Parrett, who served as Chair since October 2019, will remain on the Board as an independent director. Mr. Wright joined Centerra’s Board as an independent director in May 2020 and brings more than 40 years of international experience in the mining sector, including 20 years as President and Chief Executive Officer of Eldorado Gold Corporation. His career has been devoted to the successful development and operation of both underground and open pit mines. Prior to his tenure at Eldorado, Mr. Wright held positions with Placer Dome Inc., Redpath Group, and Granges. He currently serves as Chair of the Board and a director of Galiano Gold Inc.

2025 Guidance – Global Exploration and Evaluation Projects

Mount Milligan

Mount Milligan produced 32,539 ounces of gold and 13.4 million pounds of copper in the third quarter of 2025. During the third quarter of 2025, a total of 12.3 million tonnes were mined from phases 5, 6, 7 and 10 of the open pit. Process plant throughput for the third quarter of 2025 was 5.3 million tonnes, averaging 57,541 tonnes per day. In 2025, mining operations encountered zones with more complex mineralization, resulting in lower than anticipated gold grades from these areas of the pit. Year-to-date production remains in line with the recently announced PFS results, and 2025 full-year gold and copper production is expected to be near the lower end of the guidance ranges at Mount Milligan. Gold sales were 32,102 ounces and copper sales were 13.2 million pounds in the third quarter.

Gold production costs in the third quarter 2025 were $1,540 per ounce. AISC on a by-product basis^NG was $1,461 per ounce, 14% higher than last quarter due to increased sustaining capital expenditures and lower ounces sold during the quarter. Full-year 2025 production costs and AISC on a by-product basis^NG at Mount Milligan are expected to be near the low end of the guidance ranges of $1,350 to $1,450 per ounce and $1,350 to $1,450 per ounce, respectively.

Sustaining capital expenditures^NG at Mount Milligan in the third quarter of 2025 were $19.6 million, focused on the tailings storage facility dam construction and delivery of the first set of large-capacity truck boxes, designed to optimize payload efficiency and reduce the need for future truck purchases.

Also, in the third quarter of 2025, Mount Milligan generated $64.1 million of cash flow from mine operations and free cash flow^NG of $44.6 million.

In September 2025, Centerra announced the results of a PFS for Mount Milligan which extends the LOM by approximately 10 years to 2045, supported by an optimized mine plan delivering average annual production of 150,000 ounces of gold and 69 million pounds of copper from 2026 to 2042, followed by the processing of low-grade stockpiles from 2043 to 2045. The study outlines disciplined non-sustaining capital expenditures^NG of approximately $186 million, most of which are not required until the early-to-mid-2030s, all fully funded from available liquidity and future cash flow from operations. Key investments include $114 million for a second TSF, to be spent across 2032 and 2033, and provides the potential for future raises which could add multiple decades of storage capacity beyond the 2045 LOM, $36 million for ball mill motor upgrades and flotation cells in 2028 to increase process plant throughput by about 10% to 66,300 tpd and increase recovery by approximately 1%, and $28 million for five new haul trucks to support longer haul distances, higher material movement, and stockpile development. Proven and probable reserves increased significantly to 4.4 million ounces of gold and 1.7 billion pounds of copper, representing a 56% and 52% increase, respectively, from year-end 2024. Recent drilling confirms mineralization remains open to the west of the current resource pit. Centerra continues to advance exploration aimed at expanding the mineral resource and assessing opportunities to extend the mine life beyond the updated plan.

The PFS reaffirms Mount Milligan’s strong economics, with an after-tax NPV_5% of approximately $1.5 billion at long-term gold and copper price assumptions of $2,600 per ounce and $4.30 per pound, respectively. Mount Milligan remains a strategic cornerstone asset in Centerra’s portfolio, with 20 years of mine life, meaningful gold and copper production, strong cash flow generation, and significant opportunity for future exploration potential in a top tier mining jurisdiction. For additional details, refer to the news release published on September 11, 2025 titled “Centerra Gold’s Mount Milligan PFS Outlines Mine Life to 2045, Delivering Growth with a Fully Funded, Disciplined $186 Million Growth Capital Plan”.

Öksüt

Öksüt produced 49,234 ounces of gold in the third quarter of 2025. Production in the quarter was better than planned due to higher grades resulting from mine sequencing. Grades in the fourth quarter of 2025 are expected to normalize and align more closely with the average reserve grade. During the quarter, mining activities were focused on phase 5 and phase 6 of the Keltepe pit and in phase 2 of the Güneytepe pit. A total of 4.9 million tonnes of ore and waste were mined in the quarter and 1.5 million tonnes were stacked at an average grade of 1.82 g/t. Öksüt’s 2025 production is expected to finish near the upper end of the guidance range, reflecting strong operational performance this quarter.

At Öksüt, gold production costs and AISC on a by-product basis^NG for the third quarter 2025 were $1,219 per ounce and $1,473 per ounce, respectively. AISC on a by-product basis^NG was 16% lower compared to last quarter driven by higher gold ounces sold and lower sustaining capital expenditures^NG, partially offset by higher royalty expense per ounce due to elevated gold prices and a change in gold royalty rates in Türkiye. Öksüt’s 2025 gold production costs and AISC on a by-product basis^NG are expected to be near the low end of the guidance ranges, benefiting from expected higher sales and continued strong operating performance.

In the third quarter 2025, sustaining capital expenditures at Öksüt were $5.8 million, focused on capitalized stripping and heap leach pad expansion.

Centerra has initiated 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 expansion of the pit to pursue additional mineralization. The study will explore options to extend gold recovery from existing leach pads through improved solution management, which will enhance residual metal extraction efficiency. The study is expected to be completed by the end of 2026 and will support updates to the mine��s long-term reclamation and site management plan, ensuring the operation continues to maximize metal recovery in a safe and responsible manner.

Molybdenum Business Unit (“MBU”)

The MBU used $16.3 million of cash in operations and recorded a free cash flow deficit^NG of $53.7 million, in the third quarter of 2025, reflecting capital spending on the restart of Thompson Creek and working capital increases at the Langeloth Metallurgical Facility (“Langeloth”) due to higher molybdenum prices and an increase in inventory on hand.

Thompson Creek Mine

The restart of Thompson Creek is advancing, with approximately 29% of the total capital investment complete. In the third quarter of 2025, non-sustaining capital expenditures^NG were $31.4 million. Since the restart decision, non-sustaining capital expenditures^NG have totaled $113.3 million. The 2025 guidance for additions to PP&E, all of which are non-sustaining capital^NG is unchanged at $130 to $145 million. Based on year-to-date spending and the scope of work planned in the fourth quarter of 2025, the Company expects non-sustaining capital^NG to be near the lower end of the guidance range. The project remains on track, with first production expected in the second half of 2027.

Langeloth

In the third quarter of 2025, Langeloth roasted and sold 4.4 million pounds and 3.1 million pounds of molybdenum, respectively. In the quarter, Langeloth delivered a positive adjusted EBITDA^NG of $1.1 million and used $13.6 million of cash flow from operations. An increase in molybdenum prices during third quarter and an increase in inventories on hand resulted in a $14.8 million increase in working capital at Langeloth.

Goldfield Project

In August 2025, Centerra completed a technical study of Goldfield, confirming robust project economics with an after-tax NPV_5% of $245 million and an after-tax IRR of 30%, based on a long-term gold price of $2,500 per ounce. The study incorporates the positive impact of gold collars, with a gold price floor of $3,200 per ounce, on a portion of production in 2029 and 2030 to lock in strong margins, safeguard economics in the early years of the Project, and expedite the capital payback period. The Project’s initial capital cost is estimated at $252 million, including approximately $40 million in pre-production stripping and other costs. Goldfield is expected to deliver a streamlined, low-risk development path, with first production targeted by the end of 2028. Recent optimization work and technical enhancements, together with strong gold prices, have further improved project value and reduced risk, positioning Goldfield as a key near-term growth opportunity for Centerra. For additional details on Goldfield, refer to the news release published on August 6, 2025 titled “Centerra Gold Announces Attractive Economics on the Goldfield Project; Proceeding with Project Development and Construction Activities”.

In the third quarter of 2025, Centerra advanced Goldfield development activities, with engineering progressing as planned and early mobilization efforts progressing on site. The Company is building out a dedicated project execution team, ensuring the right technical and operational expertise is in place. These early actions mark important steps toward project readiness and position Goldfield for disciplined and efficient execution.

The previously recorded impairment at Goldfield was fully reversed in the third quarter of 2025, driven by updated long-term metal price assumptions and improved mine plan economics.

Kemess Project

At Kemess, the Company continues to successfully advance work on a PEA, based on an open pit and longhole open stoping underground mining concept, which is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2026, and is expected to contain a fulsome discussion of the risks and opportunities relating to the Kemess project. Kemess has significant infrastructure already in place that will require refurbishment. Complementing this existing infrastructure, it is anticipated that new crushing, conveying, and mine infrastructure will be required for the operations. Centerra expects the existing infrastructure to lower the execution risk for the project when compared with a typical greenfield project of this scale. The upcoming PEA study is expected to represent a significant milestone in advancing the Company’s gold growth pipeline and its focus on unlocking additional value from its assets in British Columbia, a top tier mining jurisdiction.

Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures

This document contains “specified financial measures” within the meaning of NI 52-112, specifically the non-GAAP financial measures, non-GAAP ratios and supplementary financial measures described below. Management believes that the use of these measures assists analysts, investors and other stakeholders of the Company in understanding the costs associated with producing gold and copper, understanding the economics of gold and copper mining, assessing operating performance, the Company’s ability to generate free cash flow from current operations and on an overall Company basis, and for planning and forecasting of future periods. However, the measures have limitations as analytical tools as they may be influenced by the point in the life cycle of a specific mine and the level of additional exploration or other expenditures a company has to make to fully develop its properties. The specified financial measures used in this document do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers, even as compared to other issuers who may be applying the World Gold Council (“WGC”) guidelines. Accordingly, these specified financial 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 financial measures, non-GAAP ratios and supplementary financial measures used in this document:

• All-in sustaining costs on a by-product basis per ounce is a non-GAAP ratio calculated as all-in sustaining costs on a by-product basis divided by ounces of gold sold. All-in sustaining costs on a by-product basis is a non-GAAP financial measure calculated as the aggregate of production costs as recorded in the consolidated statements of earnings, refining and transport costs, the cash component of capitalized stripping and sustaining capital expenditures, lease payments related to sustaining assets, corporate general and administrative expenses, accretion expenses, asset retirement depletion expenses, copper and silver revenue and the associated impact of hedges of by-product sales revenue. When calculating all-in sustaining costs on a by-product basis, all revenue received from the sale of copper from the Mount Milligan Mine, as reduced by the effect of the copper stream, is treated as a reduction of costs incurred. A reconciliation of all-in sustaining costs on a by-product basis to the nearest IFRS measure is set out below. Management uses these measures to monitor the cost management effectiveness of each of its operating mines.
• All-in sustaining costs on a co-product basis per ounce of gold or per pound of copper, is a non-GAAP ratio calculated as all-in sustaining costs on a co-product basis divided by ounces of gold or pounds of copper sold, as applicable. All-in sustaining costs on a co-product basis is a non-GAAP financial measure based on an allocation of production costs between copper and gold based on the conversion of copper production to equivalent ounces of gold. The Company uses a conversion ratio for calculating gold equivalent ounces for its copper sales calculated by multiplying the copper pounds sold by estimated average realized copper price and dividing the resulting figure by estimated average realized gold price. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, 727 and 667 pounds of copper were equivalent to one ounce of gold. A reconciliation of all-in sustaining costs on a co-product basis to the nearest IFRS measure is set out below. Management uses these measures to monitor the cost management effectiveness of each of its operating mines.
• Sustaining capital expenditures and Non-sustaining capital expenditures are non-GAAP financial measures. Sustaining capital expenditures are defined as those expenditures required to sustain current operations and exclude all expenditures incurred at new operations or major projects at existing operations where these projects will materially benefit the operation. Non-sustaining capital expenditures are primarily costs incurred at ‘new operations’ and costs related to ‘major projects at existing operations’ where these projects will materially benefit the operation. A material benefit to an existing operation is considered to be at least a 10% increase in annual or life of mine production, net present value, or reserves compared to the remaining life of mine of the operation. A reconciliation of sustaining capital expenditures and non-sustaining capital expenditures to the nearest IFRS measures is set out below. Management uses the distinction of the sustaining and non-sustaining capital expenditures as an input into the calculation of all-in sustaining costs per ounce and all-in costs per ounce.
• Adjusted net earnings is a non-GAAP financial measure calculated by adjusting net earnings as recorded in the consolidated statements of earnings for items not associated with ongoing operations. The Company believes that this generally accepted industry measure allows the evaluation of the results of income-generating capabilities and is useful in making comparisons between periods. This measure adjusts for the impact of items not associated with ongoing operations. A reconciliation of adjusted net earnings to the nearest IFRS measures is set out below. Management uses this measure to monitor and plan for the operating performance of the Company in conjunction with other data prepared in accordance with IFRS.
• Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure calculated by adjusting net earnings as recorded in the consolidated statements of earnings by depreciation, amortization, interest, taxes and items not associated with ongoing operations. The Company believes that this generally accepted industry measure allows the evaluation of the results of income-generating capabilities and is useful in making comparisons between periods. A reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to the nearest IFRS measures is set out below. Management uses this measure to monitor and plan for the operating performance of the Company in conjunction with other data prepared in accordance with IFRS.
• Free cash flow (deficit) is a non-GAAP financial measure calculated as cash provided by operating activities less property, plant and equipment additions. A reconciliation of free cash flow to the nearest IFRS measures is set out below. Management uses this measure to monitor the amount of cash available to reinvest in the Company and allocate for shareholder returns.
• Mining costs per tonne mined is a non-GAAP financial measure calculated by dividing the mining costs by the number of tonnes mined. Management uses these measures to monitor the cost management effectiveness of the mining process for each of its operating mines.
• Processing costs per tonne stacked is a non-GAAP financial measure calculated by dividing the processing costs by the number of tonnes milled or stacked. Management uses these measures to monitor the cost management effectiveness of the mine processing for each of its operating mines.
• Site G&A costs per tonne processed is a non-GAAP financial measure calculated by dividing the site G&A costs by the number of tonnes milled or stacked. Management uses these measures to monitor the cost management effectiveness of the site G&A process for each of its operating mines.
• On site costs per tonne processed is a non-GAAP financial measure calculated by dividing the operating expenses less changes in inventories, royalties and other costs by the number of tonnes milled or stacked. Management uses these measures to monitor the cost management effectiveness of the relevant production costs for each of its operating mines.
