Centerra's strategic pivot to Nevada with Goldfield accelerates gold growth while balancing portfolio away from geopolitical risk.
Centerra's Q2 results reveal a company in strategic transition, accelerating its self-funded gold growth strategy while repositioning its asset portfolio toward premier mining jurisdictions. The decision to green-light the Goldfield project in Nevada marks a significant milestone in Centerra's evolution, adding a near-term production asset in a stable mining jurisdiction with modest capital requirements (
This move effectively creates a three-phased growth pipeline: near-term production from Goldfield by 2028, followed by potential mine-life extensions at Mount Milligan beyond 2036, and longer-term development of the Kemess project. This staggered approach allows Centerra to maintain production continuity as Öü winds down while efficiently allocating capital across its portfolio.
The company's aggressive share repurchase program�
Though facing operational headwinds at Mount Milligan with lower grades and higher costs, Centerra's strategic hedging against geopolitical risk through jurisdictional diversification appears well-timed. The updated Turkish royalty structure affecting Öü highlights the value of pivoting toward North American assets. The dual focus on advancing both the near-term Goldfield project alongside studies for the longer-life Mount Milligan and Kemess assets reflects a balanced approach to growth that should appeal to investors seeking both immediate catalysts and sustainable long-term production.

Paul Tomory continued, “We are pleased to be advancing with development and construction at the Goldfield project. Over the last several months, Centerra has undertaken additional technical work and project optimizations that have significantly enhanced Goldfield’s value proposition and have de-risked the project. Favourable gold prices combined with these recent developments have improved the Project’s economics, enabling us to move forward with execution. We believe Goldfield is well positioned to deliver strong returns, including an after-tax net present value (

Non-sustaining capital expendituresNG in the second quarter were$28.1 million related mainly to the restart of operations at the Thompson Creek Mine (“Thompson Creek�).
Financial
- Net earnings: Second quarter 2025 net earnings were
$68.6 million , or$0.33 per share, and adjusted net earningsNG were$52.7 million or$0.26 per share. Key adjustments to net earnings include$15.0 million of unrealized gain on the re-measurement of the sale of the Greenstone Partnership in 2021,$12.1 million of unrealized loss on the financial assets related to the additional agreement with Royal Gold Inc. (“Royal Gold�), and$11.0 million of deferred income tax adjustments arising from the impact of foreign exchange rate movement on deferred income taxes at Mount Milligan, partially offset by a drawdown on the deferred tax asset related to Mount Milligan. For additional adjustments refer to the “Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures� disclosure at the end of this news release. - Cash provided by operating activities and free cash flowNG: In the second quarter 2025, cash provided by operating activities before working capital and income taxes paid was
$98.4 million , up22% from last quarter. Cash provided by operating activities was$25.3 million and free cash flow deficitNG was$25.6 million , impacted mainly by statutory tax and royalty payments at Öü.

Centerra believes that the NCIB will continue to provide the Company with a flexible tool to deploy cash pursuant to its capital allocation strategy, while preserving the financial flexibility to support investment in future growth.
Strategic Growth Initiatives
- Advancing the Goldfield project: Centerra has completed a technical study of its Goldfield project (“Goldfield� or “the Project�), which confirms attractive economics for the Project, including an after-tax NPV
5% of$245 million and an after-tax IRR of30% , using a long-term gold price of$2,500 per ounce. This includes the impact of gold hedges, 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 initial capital investment at Goldfield is$252 million , including approximately$40 million in pre-production stripping and other costs, and the Project is expected to benefit from a short timeline to first production by the end of 2028 and low execution risk given its relatively simple process flow sheet. The Project is located in a historic mining district of Nevada, offering a stable regulatory environment, skilled workforce, and strong support for resource development. Over the last several months, Centerra has undertaken additional technical work and optimizations that have significantly enhanced Goldfield’s value proposition and de-risked the project. Favourable gold prices combined with these developments have improved the Project’s economics, enabling Centerra to move forward with execution. The Project is expected to provide an increase in gold production, which will help offset natural declines at Öü, and ensure continuity as Centerra advances its next phase of long-life, gold-copper, cornerstone organic growth projects in British Columbia at Mount Milligan and Kemess. 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�. - Two project studies supporting Centerra’s long-life gold-copper organic growth strategy in British Columbia are progressing positively toward completion in the second half of 2025: At Mount Milligan, work on a Pre-Feasibility Study (“PFS�) to evaluate the substantial mineral resources aimed at unlocking additional value beyond its current mine life of 2036 is on track to be completed in the third quarter of 2025. 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 by the end of 2025. Kemess has significant infrastructure already in place that will require some 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. These studies represent significant milestones in advancing the Company’s gold growth development pipeline and are focused on unlocking additional value from its assets in British Columbia, a top tier mining jurisdiction.

Mount Milligan
Mount Milligan produced 35,058 ounces of gold and 12.4 million pounds of copper in the second quarter of 2025. During the second quarter of 2025, a total of 12.4 million tonnes was mined from phases 5, 6, 7 and 10 of the open pit. Process plant throughput for the second quarter of 2025 was 5.3 million tonnes, averaging 58,302 tonnes per day. In the first half of 2025, mining operations have encountered zones with more challenging mineralization, resulting in lower than anticipated gold grades from these areas of the pit. While gold grades remain above the average grade of the reserve, the Company believes that the variability is primarily attributed to certain zones being drilled with wider spacing. Centerra has commenced an infill and grade control drilling program in the second quarter of 2025. This initiative is expected to improve geological and mine plan confidence and will be integrated into the upcoming Mount Milligan PFS, contributing to a mine plan with greater visibility on grades moving forward. The Company is updating 2025 gold production guidance at Mount Milligan to 145,000 to 165,000 ounces, from 165,000 to 185,000 ounces previously, to recalibrate for the adjustment in grades while ensuring strategic priorities are maintained. The Company is reaffirming its 2025 copper production guidance range of 50 to 60 million pounds of copper. Gold sales were 33,727 ounces and copper sales were 12.1 million pounds in the second quarter. Both gold and copper production and sales are expected to be weighted towards the second half of the year.

At Mount Milligan, work on the PFS to evaluate the substantial mineral resources to unlock additional value beyond its current mine life is on track to be completed in the third quarter of 2025. The Company is optimistic that it can extend the current mine life beyond 2036, which is based on the available space in the existing TSF. Centerra is progressing with the engineering solution for additional tailings capacity. It is also expected that the PFS will incorporate an increase of annual mill throughput in the range of
Öü
Öü produced 28,253 ounces of gold in the second quarter of 2025. Production in the quarter was better than planned due to higher grades resulting from mine sequencing. The Company expects to access higher grade areas of the mine in the second half of 2025. 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 4.6 million tonnes of ore and waste were mined in the quarter and 1.2 million tonnes were stacked at an average grade of 0.90 g/t. Centerra reaffirms Öü’s 2025 production guidance of 105,000 to 125,000 ounces, which is expected to be weighted towards the second half of the year.

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 months ended June30, 2025, 658 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 from continuing operations 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.
