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 andmay ultimately 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 and technological 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 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 andstatements will prove to be accurate, as many factors and future events, both known and unknown could cause actual results, performance or achievements to vary or differ materially, from the results, performance orachievements 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 makingdecisions with respect to Centerra, and prospective investors should not place undue reliance on forward looking information. Centerra assumes no obligation to update or revise forward looking information to reflectchanges 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, ProfessionalEngineer and Centerra’s Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, has reviewed and approved the scientific and technical information contained in this presentation. Mr. Reid is a Qualified Person within the meaningof NI 43-101. For more information, please refer to the properties technical reports, which are available on SEDAR.

Potential Upside Optionality: Molybdenum

17

Molybdenum business

Well-established molybdenum business

Consists of the Langeloth Metallurgical Facility and two mines: Thompson Creek Mine and Endako Mine

Langeloth can produce a suite of premium molybdenum products that raise the average realized price

Significant defined resources and infrastructure in place

Ability to be one of the first movers upon moly market recovery

Lower cost to restart production compared to greenfield project

Molybdenum business well positioned to recover once market conditions and pricing improve

Thompson Creek Mine

Endako Mine

● Located in Idaho, is the world’s fourth largest open-pit primary

molybdenum mine

● Operations began in 1983, using conventional open-pit mining and a on-

site 25,500 tpd mill

● In December, 2014 placed on care and maintenance

● Endako Mine is a fully integrated molybdenum facility located in BC

● TCM is the operator and 75% owner; Sojitz owns 25%

● Endako consists of three adjoined pits and a fully integrated operation

with on-site mill and multiple hearth roasting facility

● New 55,000 tpd processing facility was completed in 2012 for~US$500MM

● In July 2015 placed on care and maintenance

Langeloth Metallurgical Facility

● Located 40 km west of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

● Operates both as a toll processor and as a purchaser of molybdenum

concentrates from third parties

● Cash flows from the Langeloth operations are expected to cover care and

maintenance expenses associated with the molybdenum mines for 2017

1 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.2 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 July 31, 2017.3 The Company has recalculated the sensitivities for its revenues, earnings and cash flows for the remaining six months of 2017 to movements in copper price changes following the commencement in the first quarter of 2017 of a hedging program to mitigate copper price risk by purchasing fixed price forward sales contracts and zero-cost collar.
