Commentary

Scott Perry, President and Chief Executive Officer of Centerra stated, "We continue to stay vigilant at all of our operations to prevent an outbreak and avoid the spread of the COVID-19 virus and to ensure the health, safety and well-being of our employees, contractors and communities. At our Öksüt operation, we have celebrated a recent safety milestone, when on July 19, 2020, Öksüt achieved 3 million work hours without a lost time injury. Our continued commitment to Work Safe Home Safe is a driving force behind achieving such milestones."

"The strong operating performance at Kumtor and Mount Milligan continued into this quarter and our Öksüt Mine achieved commercial production during the quarter. Our operations in the quarter delivered consolidated gold production of 219,692 ounces at all-in sustaining costsNG on a by-product basis of $804 per ounce sold in the quarter. Kumtor had another strong quarter producing 173,245 ounces of gold at all- in sustaining costsNG on a by-product basis of $696 per ounce sold. Mount Milligan produced 35,656 ounces of gold and 19.1 million pounds of copper at all-in sustaining costsNG on a by-product basis of $679 per ounce sold and Öksüt produced 10,791 ounces of gold, 5,619 ounces were commercial production. During the quarter, Öksüt's all-in sustaining costsNG on a by-product basis was $537 per ounce, being our lowest cost mine in the quarter."

"Financially, the Company generated $268.1 million of cash from operations for the second quarter of 2020, which includes $220.4 million from Kumtor, $41.6 million from Mount Milligan and $13.5 million from Öksüt. During the second quarter of 2020, Kumtor, Mount Milligan and Öksüt delivered free cash flowNG of $156.9 million, $34.4 million and $5.0 million, respectively. Company-wide, free cash flow NG in the second quarter of 2020 was $169.1 million and we finished the quarter with cash of $212.2 million and no debt outstanding after repaying our corporate revolving credit facility in the quarter."

"The decision of Centerra's Board to increase the quarterly dividend by 25% to C$0.05 per common share announced today and planned into the future was based on our strong operating performance and the higher gold price environment, both of which contributed to our growing free cash flow and a debt-free balance sheet as at June 30, 2020."

COVID-19 Update

Centerra continues to prioritize the health, safety and well-being of its employees, contractors, communities and other stakeholders during the current outbreak of COVID-19 and to take steps to minimize the effect of the pandemic on its business. Centerra has taken a series of measures to provide its employees with accurate information, help prevent infection and reduce the potential transmission of COVID-19, including activation of a global crisis management team, frequent communication with and compassionate support of all our people, travel restrictions, and the temporary closure of various administration offices including our head office in Toronto. Each Centerra site rapidly and successfully implemented proactive measures to minimize the impact of COVID-19 on operations, including strict protocols for access to operating sites, temperature checks and questioning upon entry, increased cleaning and hygiene protocols, modifications to work shifts and accommodation at site and an offsite quarantine facility established specifically for employees travelling to the Kumtor Mine site. In addition, our operating mine sites continue to assess the resiliency of their supply chain, are increasing mine site inventories of key materials and developing contingency plans to allow for continued operations.

The Company completed a company-wideCOVID-19 employee survey in June to obtain feedback from employees on Centerra's response to the pandemic and most importantly, on whether the Company is keeping employees well-informed and providing adequate support both physically and emotionally. The responses company-wide were favorable and Centerra will continue to address concerns and adapt its practices as necessary throughout the stages of this crisis.

While the majority of Centerra's operating sites are currently operating without significant interruption, there has been an increase in the infection rates of COVID-19 and other illnesses in the Kyrgyz Republic which is beginning to have an impact on the available workforce for the Kumtor Mine. While Kumtor's performance during the second quarter was unaffected, the Company is putting in place measures to manage the reduced workforce at Kumtor by mining waste below capacity while maintaining gold production levels by processing stockpiles as planned for the year. For further details on the impact of COVID-19 on Centerra's operating sites and development projects please see "Operating Mines and Facilities" and "Pre- Development Projects".

The Company notes that the effects of COVID-19 on its business continue to change rapidly. The measures enacted to date reflect the Company's best assessment at this time but will remain flexible and be revised as necessary or advisable and/or as recommended by the public health and governmental authorities.

Exploration Update

Exploration activities in the second quarter of 2020 included drilling, surface sampling, geological mapping and geophysical surveying at the Company's various projects (including earn-in properties); targeting gold and copper mineralization in Canada, Mexico, Turkey, Finland, USA and the Kyrgyz Republic. The Company has expanded its 2020 exploration program when compared to 2019 and is primarily focused on brownfield exploration at Kumtor, Mount Milligan and Öksüt. Exploration expenditures totalled $6.6 million in the second quarter of 2020, which included the impact of delays associated with COVID-19, compared to $6.3 million in the same quarter of 2019.

Kumtor Mine

The 2020 planned drilling program at Kumtor includes 55,000 metres of exploration and 15,000 metres of infill drilling, which are focused on priority primary and potential targets. Primary targets include various zones of the Central, Southwest and Sarytor deposits (areas) based on enhanced geological modelling from the recently updated Kumtor resource block model, and positive drilling results from 2018 and 2019. In addition, the 2020 planned drilling program at Kumtor includes the underexplored segments of the Kumtor Gold Trend - the Northeast targets, Bordoo, Akbel and conceptual targets (Hope Zone and others). An exploration potential update will be included in an updated Kumtor 43-101 technical report expected to be released in the fall of 2020.

In April, due to COVID-19 preventive measures, exploration drilling at Kumtor was temporarily suspended, resuming in June 2020. Due to the delay, a certain portion of the planned drilling program could be deferred to 2021.

During the second quarter of 2020, exploration drilling programs continued with the completion of fifteen diamond drill holes for 4,663 metres. Exploration drilling focused on testing zones of sulfide and oxide mineralization along the corridor between the Central and Southwest pits (Kosholuu, Hope and Southwest Oxide Deep zones), on the periphery of the Sarytor Pit, Northeast targets and Muzdusuu area.

Southwest Deposit (Area)

In the second quarter of 2020, a total of eleven diamond drill holes were completed in the Southwest area for a total of 2,902 metres.

Three drill holes have been completed between Southwest and Central pits in the Hope Zone for a total of 508 metres. Results from recent drilling have delineated a lens-shaped oxide gold mineralization. This mineralization extends along the hanging wall of the Kumtor Lower Thrust for more than 400 metres and is opened in both directions along the main NE strike.

Hole SW-20-319 intersected broad dispersed gold mineralization in Tertiary sediments.

Significant intersections are reported below:

SW-20-313 9.0 metres @ 1.13 g/t Gold ("Au"), from 277.8 metres

4.3 metres @ 4.78 g/t Au from 289.2 metres

SW-20-319 39.0 metres @ 0.45 g/t Au from 19.6 metres

Muzdusuu Area

Four diamond drill holes were completed in the Muzdusuu Area for a total of 1,040 metres. Results were also obtained for holes completed in the first quarter. Drilling in the Muzdusuu Area (outside Central Pit) is designed to explore for oxide and mixed gold mineralization along the Kumtor Lower Thrust. A few drill holes intersected broad intervals (up to 68 metres) of a mixed (oxide + sulfide) gold mineralization.

Hole DM2067 has tested inferred dispersed gold mineralization target in the Tertiary sediments (Parking Lot target) and intersected broad interval of a low-grade mineralization.

Significant intervals are shown below.

DM2059

68.8 metres @ 1.38 g/t Au from 120.7 metres

Including 31.0m @ 2.75 g/t Au from 136.0 metres

DM2062

57.3 metres @ 1.02 g/t Au from 96.2 metres

Including 25.2m @ 2.06 g/t Au from 127.6 metres

DM2067

234.6 metres @ 0.20 g/t Au from 78.6 metres

Including 31.0m @ 0.39 g/t Au from 147.6 metres

The above mineralized intercepts were calculated using a cut-off grade of 1.0 g/t Au for sulfide and 0.1 g/t Au for oxide mineralization, minimum interval of 4.0 metres and a maximum internal dilution interval of

5.0 metres. The true widths for sulfide mineralized intervals reported represent approximately 70 to 95% of the stated down hole interval. Significant assay intervals reported for oxide mineralization represent apparent widths due to the uncertainty of the nature of the mineralization at the time of reporting.

Mount Milligan Mine

The 2020 planned drilling program at Mount Milligan includes 17,500 metres (at approximately 40 drill sites) in five target zones of in-pit exploration, 10,000 metres of brownfield exploration and 3,000 metres of greenfield exploration. In March, due to COVID-19 preventive measures, exploration drilling at Mount Milligan was temporarily suspended and resumed in June 2020, with no impact to the planned drilling programs anticipated for the remainder of 2020. In the second quarter, two drill holes were completed in the Great Eastern Fault target area (20-1240,20-2141), and one was in progress, totalling 1,274 metres drilled. Assay results were returned for two drill holes during the quarter and best weighted average intersections are reported below.

Saddle/66 Gap zone (In-Pit)

DDH 20-1237 and 20-1238 tested for an extension of mineralization into a gap in known reserves between the Saddle and 66 zones; and a deep geophysical target. DDH 20-1237 was abandoned at 26.8 metres for technical reasons. Significant pyrite mineralization in both drill holes is related to dykes (monzonite and

Greenfield exploration (MAX project)

The 2020 greenfield Phase-1 drilling program was completed in the second quarter of 2020 at the Max project. The Max project consists of a block of 12 mineral claims (4,869 ha) under option from Jama Holdings Inc., 21 kilometres south of the Mount Milligan mine processing facilities and adjoins the Mount Milligan property on the south. The program was supported by helicopter in June 2020, completing seven drill holes (3,573 metres) from five pads in two target areas. The prospect has similar geology, structure, geophysical and geochemical signature as the Mount Milligan MBX deposit. Assay results are pending.

A full listing of the drill results, drill hole locations and plan map (including the azimuth, dip of drill holes, and depth of the sample intervals) for the Mount Milligan Mine have been filed on the System for Electronic Document Analysis and Retrieval ("SEDAR") at www.sedar.comand are available at the Company's web site www.centerragold.com.

Öksüt Mine

The 2020 planned drilling program at Öksüt includes 20,000 metres of diamond drilling, focused on near pit resource expansion and other oxide gold targets. The 2020 diamond drilling program has been designed to:

  • expand the oxide gold resources around the known deposits at Keltepe and Güneytepe as well as at Keltepe North and Keltepe North-West,
  • further test the oxide gold potential at Yelibelen, Büyüktepe, Boztepe and other targets,
  • further delineate the supergene copper mineralization at depth, and test other deeper targets.

Kemess Project

The 2020 Kemess brownfield drilling program is focused on the Kemess North Trend and comprises three drill holes (2,700 metres) at the Nugget historic resource to test for mineralization up-dip of the 2019 drilling and up to three drill holes (2,000 metres) at the Kemess East resource to test for an extension of known mineralization. Drilling at Kemess East will attempt to reuse and extend 2017 drill holes, or alternatively, a single drill hole (2,000 metres) may be drilled from surface. In late June, crews mobilized to site and began preparations, but no drill core was produced. The program is expected to run until late August.

Other Projects

During the second quarter of 2020, greenfield exploration programs targeting gold and copper were ongoing in Canada, Turkey, Mexico, USA and Finland.

Overview of Consolidated Results

Second Quarter 2020 compared to Second Quarter 2019

The Company recognized net earnings of $80.7 million and adjusted net earningsNG of $97.8 million in the second quarter of 2020, compared to net earnings and adjusted net earningsNG of $33.4 million in the second quarter of 2019. The increase in net earnings in the second quarter of 2020 compared to 2019 was due to higher average realized gold prices, increased gold doré sold at Kumtor and increased copper pounds sold at Mount Milligan, partially offset by decreased gold ounces sold at Mount Milligan and a $17.1 million non-cash charge for the increase in the asset retirement obligation ("ARO") for the Company's non- operating sites caused by a decrease in the risk free interest rate assumption used for discounting the liabilities. There was no change in the underlying remediation programs required at the sites. Öksüt also contributed $10.7 million of earnings from mine operations in the second quarter of 2020.

Cash provided by operations was $268.1 million in the second quarter of 2020, compared to $91.0 million in the same prior year period, due to increased earnings from mine operations including the Öksüt Mine that is now in commercial production and an increase in cash generated from reduced working capital levels, reflecting an increase in the collection of accounts receivable and a reduction in inventory at Kumtor. Free cash flow NG in the second quarter of 2020 was $169.1 million compared to free cash flowNG of $30.7 million in the same period of 2019. The increase was due to higher cash provided by operations together with minimal capital expenditure incurred at the Öksüt Mine compared to the prior year quarter, partially offset by increased capitalized stripping at Kumtor.

Safety and Environment

Centerra incurred five reportable injuries in the second quarter of 2020, including two lost time injuries, two medical aid injuries and one restricted work injury.

Centerra has implemented a number of proactive measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and ensure the safety of its employees, contractors, communities and other stakeholders.

There were no reportable releases to the environment in the second quarter of 2020.

First Half 2020 compared to First Half 2019

The Company recognized net earnings of $100.8 million and adjusted net earningsNG of $144.3 million in the first half of 2020, compared to net earnings and adjusted net earningsNG of $83.8 million in the first half of 2019. The increase in net earnings in the first half of 2020 compared to 2019 was due to higher realized gold prices, increased gold doré sold at Kumtor and increased copper pounds sold at Mount Milligan, partially offset by $43.5 million in non-cash charges relating to the reclamation liabilities for the Company's non-operating sites. The increase in the reclamation liabilities was a result of a decrease in the risk-free interest rate assumption used for discounting the future liabilities. Öksüt also contributed $7.1 million of net earnings in the first half of 2020.

Cash provided by operations was $389.2 million in the first half of 2020, compared to $209.8 million in the same prior year period, due to increased earnings from mine operations including the Öksüt Mine that is now in commercial production and an increase in cash generated from reduced working capital levels, due to a decrease in inventory at Kumtor. Free cash flow NG in the first half of 2020 was $245.9 million compared to free cash flowNG of $87.7 million in the same period of 2019. The increase was due to higher cash

provided by operations, partially offset by an increase in sustaining capital and capitalized stripping at Kumtor.

2020 Outlook

Centerra is maintaining its 2020 guidance for gold and copper production, and all-in sustaining costs per ounce soldNG. At the Kumtor operation, although fewer waste tonnes were mined due to reduced workforce on site, the mill operations continue as normal as we process materials from stockpiles throughout 2020 as planned.

Centerra is revising its 2020 guidance for capital spending, excluding capitalized stripping, to $192 million from the initial guidance of $169 million disclosed previously. The company's 2020 guidance for capitalized striping has been reduced to $223 million, from the initial guidance of $236 million disclosed previously.

Despite its best efforts, the Company notes that COVID-19 has the potential to significantly disrupt Centerra's operations going forward and affect the Company's future operating results. Among other things, COVID-19 has the potential to cause significant illness in the workforce, temporarily shut down mining, processing and other operations, and disrupt supply chains as well as rail and shipping networks used to deliver products to customers. While Centerra has taken and will continue to take measures to mitigate such risks, the global effects of COVID-19 are rapidly evolving and cannot be predicted.

2020 Production, Sales and Cost Guidance

Consolidated gold sales in the first half of 2020 was 420,797 ounces, slightly higher than 50% of the full year guidance of 740,000 to 820,000 ounces, consistent with the expectation that sales from the Kumtor Mine for the year would be slightly weighted to the first half of the year.

In the first half of 2020, production costs per ounce of gold sold was $417 per ounce and all-in sustaining costs on a by-product basisNG was $760 per ounce sold, compared to full year guidance of $450 to $500 per ounce and $820 to $870 per ounce sold, respectively. All-in sustaining costs on a by-product basisNG in the first half of 2020 was lower than the full year guidance range, due to slightly higher Kumtor production and sales in the first half of the year, lower capitalized stripping at Kumtor, and lower sustaining capital spending in the first half of 2020.

In the second half of 2020 the Company expects that Kumtor will process lower grade material than in the first half of 2020 but also expects an increase in production from the Öksüt Mine as it continues to ramp up production. Mount Milligan remains on track with gold production in the second half estimated to be slightly higher than 50% of its full year guidance and copper production estimated to be at approximately 45% of full year guidance.

  1. The Mount Milligan Streaming Arrangement entitles Royal Gold to 35% and 18.75% of gold and copper sales, respectively, from the Mount Milligan Mine. Under the Mount Milligan Streaming Arrangement, Royal Gold will pay $435 per ounce of gold delivered and 15% of the spot price per metric tonne of copper delivered.
  2. Gold production assumes recoveries of 82.4% at Kumtor, 64% at Mount Milligan and approximately 60% at Öksüt.
  3. Copper production assumes 81.9% recovery for copper at Mount Milligan.

  2. Mount Milligan payable production and ounces sold are on a 100% basis (the Mount Milligan Streaming Arrangement entitles Royal Gold to 35% and 18.75% of gold and copper sales, respectively). Unit costs and consolidated unit costs include a credit for forecasted copper sales treated as by-product for all-in sustaining costs and all-in sustaining costs plus taxes. Payable production for copper and gold reflects estimated metallurgical losses resulting from handling of the concentrate and payable metal deductions, subject to metal content, levied by smelters.

2020 Capital Spending

Centerra's 2020 guidance for capital spending, excluding capitalized stripping, has been revised to $192 million from the initial guidance of $169 million. Sustaining capitalNG is now estimated at $132 million compared to initial guidance of $109 million. The increase in sustaining capitalNG is related the purchase of eleven additional haul trucks at Kumtor in the second quarter of 2020. The new trucks are expected to be in operation in the fourth quarter of 2020, increasing our mining capacity in the near term, and preparing us for future growth opportunities. Capitalized stripping at Öksüt has been reduced to $8 million from the initial guidance of $21 million, reflecting lower tonnes mined in the first half of the year due to poor weather conditions and a workforce reduction as a precautionary measure due to COVID-19.

Growth and sustaining capital spent in the first half of 2020 was $32.2 million and $47.5 million respectively, and capitalized stripping in the first half of 2020 was $86.7 million, all slightly below expected spending due to timing.

Material Assumptions

The Company has not modified the material assumptions used to set its initial 2020 guidance. The Company notes that there has been positive movement in current market prices of gold and copper, as well as diesel prices and foreign exchange rates. Those movements have been partially offset by inflationary cost pressures in both the Kyrgyz Republic and Turkey, together with the settlement of historical diesel hedges at higher rates than current market prices.

Material assumptions or factors used to forecast production and costs for 2020 include the following:

  • a gold price of $1,350 per ounce,
  • a copper price of $2.60 per pound,
  • a molybdenum price of $10.75 per pound.
  • exchange rates:
    1. $1USD:$1.30 Canadian dollar,
    1. $1USD:69.50 Kyrgyz som,
    1. $1USD:5.50 Turkish lira,
    1. $1USD:0.85 Euro.
  • diesel fuel price assumption:
    1. $0.50/litre at Kumtor,
  1. $0.81/litre (CAD$1.06/litre) at Mount Milligan.

Material assumptions used in forecasting production and costs for 2020 can be found under the heading "Caution Regarding Forward-Looking Information" in this document. Production, cost and capital forecasts for 2020 are forward-looking information and are based on key assumptions and subject to material risk factors that could cause actual results to differ materially and which are discussed under the heading "Risks That Can Affect Our Business" in the Company's most recent Annual Information Form.

Financial Performance

Second Quarter 2020 compared to Second Quarter 2019

Revenue:

Revenue increased to $412.7 million in the second quarter of 2020 from $340.5 million in the comparative prior year period, primarily as a result of a 31% higher average realized gold price and higher gold and copper sales.

Production:

Gold production in the second quarter of 2020 was 219,692 ounces compared to 199,578 ounces for the same prior year period. Gold production at Kumtor was 173,245 ounces in the second quarter of 2020, Mount Milligan produced 35,656 ounces of gold and Öksüt produced 10,791 ounces of gold. At Kumtor, the 15% increase was due to higher grades and recovery. At Mount Milligan the 27% decrease was due to lower throughput and lower grades.

Production costs per ounce of gold sold:

Production costs per ounce of gold sold decreased in the second quarter of 2020 to $410 compared to $479 in the same period of 2019, primarily due to higher gold sales volumes at Kumtor and a favourable foreign exchange rate at Kumtor and Mount Milligan, partially offset by decreased gold sales volumes at Mount Milligan due to lower throughput. The Öksüt Mine recorded its first quarter of operation realizing production costs of $393 per ounce, after achieving commercial production on May 31, 2020.

All-in Sustaining CostsNG:

The Öksüt Mine had a positive impact as it recorded its first quarter of all-in sustaining costs on a by-product basis per ounce of gold soldNG at $537, post commercial production.

Exploration:

Exploration expenditures in the second quarter of 2020 were $6.6 million, consistent with the $6.3 million in the comparative prior year period. In both periods, exploration expenditures were mainly focused at the three operating sites.

Financing costs:

Financing costs in the second quarter of 2020 were $3.8 million, reflecting costs associated with the corporate $500 million revolving credit facility which was repaid in full by the end of the quarter. Financing costs of $3.7 million in the second quarter of 2019 were associated with the Öksüt project financing facility and a promissory note with Caterpillar Financial Services Limited, which were both repaid and cancelled in the first quarter 2020 and fourth quarter 2019, respectively.

Corporate administration:

Corporate administration costs were $25.3 million in the second quarter of 2020 compared to $13.7 million in the second quarter of 2019, mainly due to an increase in share-based compensation as a result of the increase in the Company's share price in the second quarter of 2020.

First Half 2020 compared to First Half 2019

centerragold.com

21

Copper production at Mount Milligan during the first half of 2020 was 39.1 million pounds, a 23% increase from the comparative prior year period, reflecting higher throughput and higher grades.

Production costs per ounce of gold sold:

Production costs per ounce of gold sold decreased in the first half of 2020 to $417 compared to $468 in the same period of 2019, mainly due to higher gold sales volumes at Kumtor, a favourable foreign exchange rate at Kumtor and Mount Milligan and the addition of the Öksüt Mine. This was partially offset by lower gold sales volumes at Mount Milligan.

All-in Sustaining CostsNG:

Centerra's all-in sustaining costs on a by-product basis per ounce of gold soldNG, which excludes revenue- based tax and income tax, increased to $760 per ounce in the first half of 2020, from $693 per ounce in the same prior year period, due to higher capitalized stripping costs, partially offset by higher sales volumes from Kumtor and greater copper credits at Mount Milligan.

Exploration:

Exploration expenditures in the first half of 2020 were $14.4 million compared to $11.3 million in the comparative prior year period. The largest contributor to the increase was additional drilling at Kumtor of $1.8 million.

Corporate administration:

Corporate administration costs were $28.7 million in the first half of 2020 compared to $23.4 million in the first half of 2019, primarily due to an increase in share-based compensation as a result of the increase in the Company's share price during the first half of 2020.

Operating Mines and Facilities

Kumtor Mine

The Kumtor open pit mine, located in the Kyrgyz Republic, is one of the largest gold mines in Central Asia. It has been in production since 1997 and has produced over 13.0 million ounces of gold to June 30, 2020.

An updated Kumtor technical report for the Kumtor Mine is expected to be completed in the fall of 2020.

During the second quarter, the final waste rock dump design was completed and submitted for Government approval to re-utilize the Lysii Valley for the placement of waste rock going forward. Lysii Valley is expected to be the main mine waste rock dump for the next two years as it is closest to CB20. Permitting to utilize the Lysii Valley was received on July 24 therefore in the 3rd quarter mine waste tonnage movement is expected to increase to planned levels.

COVID-19 update

Kumtor continues to implement mitigation controls and health & safety precautions at the mine site to contain the spread of COVID-19. While Kumtor's operations in the second quarter were not affected, the Company has begun to notice an effect on the availability of Kumtor's workforce due to a greater rate of COVID-19 infections and other illnesses in the Kyrgyz Republic. As a result, open pit mining operations have been running below full capacity in July, though mill processing operations continue to work at full capacity and are expected to maintain gold production by processing stockpiles as planned for the year. The Company will continue to adjust its plans as necessary to ensure the safety of Kumtor's personnel and local communities.

As Kumtor is an isolated mine site with an on-site camp, all employees and contractors are required to undergo comprehensive testing and remain in an offsite quarantine facility prior to traveling to the mine site. As of July 21, 2020, 381 employees and contractors have tested positive for COVID-19, representing approximately 4.3% of 8,837 tests performed on the Kumtor workforce. However, due to Kumtor's strict quarantine and testing protocols none of the employees or contractors who tested positive for COVID-19 entered the mine site. To the best of the Company's knowledge, the Kumtor mine site has remained COVID- 19 free.

Second Quarter 2020 compared to Second Quarter 2019

For the three months ended June 30, 2020, Kumtor recorded an increase in revenue and earnings from mine operations of 45% and 78%, respectively, when compared to the same prior year periods. The increase in the second quarter of 2020 was primarily due to 30% higher average realized gold price and 11% more ounces sold compared to the second quarter of 2019.

Cash provided by mine operations in the second quarter of 2020 was $220.4 million, $127.7 million more than the same prior year period. The increase was primarily as a result of higher realized gold price, the 14% increase in gold head grade processed in the quarter together with associated higher recoveries, an increase in the collection of account receivable and a larger reduction in Product Inventory, partially offset by an increase in revenue-based tax payments. Free cash flowNG in the second quarter of 2020 was $156.9 million compared to $65.3 million in the second quarter of 2019, the increase was due to an increase in cash provided by mine operations, partially offset by the procurement of long-lead items for the potential expansion of the Kumtor Mine, and higher capitalized stripping costs.

During the second quarter of 2020, Kumtor continued stripping and managing the ice from cut-back 20. Tonnes mined were 23.1 million compared to 39.9 million tonnes in the comparative prior year period, representing a decrease of 42%, mainly due to longer haulage distances as a result of the change in waste rock dump location from the Lysii Valley to the Central Valley and lower equipment utilization due to reduced workforce availability. The 23.1 million tonnes mined in the second quarter of 2020 were capitalized as waste stripping for the benefit of future production from cut-back 20.

Mining costs per tonne were $1.64 in the second quarter of 2020 compared to $1.32 in the second quarter of 2019. Higher mining costs per tonne were primarily attributable to lower tonnes mined, partially offset by lower diesel fuel prices and a favourable foreign exchange rate movement. Of the $37.9 million in mining costs, $35.0 million was capitalized in the second quarter of 2020 (all mining costs other than those relating to re-handling), compared to $12.1 million in the second quarter of 2019.

In the second quarter of 2020, Kumtor produced 173,245 ounces of gold from previously mined on-surface stockpiled ore, compared to 151,065 ounces of gold in the same prior year period. The increase in the current quarter was primarily due to higher mill head grade and higher gold recovery. During the second quarter of 2020, Kumtor's average process plant head grade was 3.95 g/t with a recovery of 84.1% compared to 3.48 g/t and a recovery of 82.3% in the second quarter of 2019.

Processing costs per tonne were $11.17 in the second quarter of 2020 compared to $11.51 in the same prior year period, primarily due to a favourable foreign exchange rate movement, lower electricity and contractor costs. This was partially offset by higher costs of the contractor processing the carbon fines due to an increase in contract rates.

Kumtor's production costs per ounce of gold sold were $321 for the second quarter of 2020, compared to $393 in the second quarter of 2019. The decrease was primarily due to an increase in ounces sold.

Kumtor's all-in sustaining costs on a by-product basis per ounce soldNG, which excludes revenue-based tax, were $696 per ounce in the second quarter of 2020 compared to $562 per ounce in the same prior year period. The increase was mainly due to greater capitalized stripping costs as mining activities were concentrated on stripping cut-back 20 and the purchases of eleven trucks to increase the mining capacity of the mine and positions Kumtor to take advantage of future expansion of the mine. This was partially offset by higher ounces sold, lower production costs and lower sustaining capital costs.

Including revenue-based taxes, all-in sustaining costs on a by-product basis per ounce soldNG were $933 per ounce in the second quarter of 2020 compared to $744 per ounce in the same prior year period.

First Half 2020 compared to First Half 2019

For the six months ended June 30 2020, Kumtor recorded an increase in revenue and earnings from mine operations of 36% and 57%, respectively, when compared to the same prior year period. The increase was primarily due to 25% higher average realized gold price and 9% more ounces sold in the first half of 2020 compared to the first half of 2019.

Cash provided by mine operations in the first half of 2020 was $354.8 million compared to $212.7 million in the same prior year period due to greater earnings from mine operations and an increase in cash generated from reduced working capital levels, primarily as a result of the greater draw down in inventory in the first half of 2020. Free cash flowNG, which takes into account increases in property, plant and equipment, in the first half of 2020 was $252.6 million compared to $156.7 million in the first half of 2019. The increase was due to an increase in cash provided by mine operations, partially offset by higher capitalized expenditures and higher capitalized stripping costs.

During the first half of 2020, mining operations restarted in January following the Lysii waste rock dump incident, Kumtor finished mining cut-back 19 West and the SB Zone and continued stripping and managing the ice from cut-back 20. Tonnes mined were 43.1 million compared to 89.1 million tonnes in the comparative prior year period, mainly due to the suspension of mining operations from December 2019 to mid-January 2020, longer haulage distances as a result of the change in the waste dump location from the Lysii Valley to the Central Valley and lower equipment utilization due to workforce availability. Of the

43.1 million tonnes mined in the first half of 2020, 41.1 million tonnes were capitalized as waste stripping for future production from cut-back 20.

Mining costs per tonne were $1.70 in the first half of 2020 compared to $1.16 in the first half of 2019. Increased mining costs per tonne were primarily attributable to lower tonnes mined, the effects of which were partially offset by lower diesel fuel prices and a favourable foreign exchange rate movement. Of the $73.3 million in mining costs, $65.0 million was capitalized in the first half of 2020, compared to $29.4 million in the first half of 2019.

In the first half of 2020, Kumtor produced 325,551 ounces of gold from previously mined on-surface stockpiled ore, compared to 301,373 ounces of gold in the same prior year period. The increase was primarily due to higher mill head grade, higher gold recovery and more gold produced from carbon fines. During the first half of 2020, Kumtor's average process plant head grade was 3.74 g/t with a recovery of 83.9% compared to 3.60 g/t and a recovery of 82.1% in the first half of 2019.

Processing costs per tonne were $11.03 in the first half of 2020 compared to $11.22 in the prior year period, primarily due to a favourable foreign exchange rate movement and lower consumables costs as a result of processing low oxidized ore. This was partially offset by increased costs associated with increased carbon fines production.

Kumtor's production costs per ounce of gold sold were $321 for the first half of 2020, compared to $376 in the first half of 2019. The decrease was primarily due to an increase in ounces sold.

Spring water pumping began in April. Substantial snowpack and a wet spring have led to volumes pumped as of the end of June that exceeded those of the entire 2019 pumping season. In addition, during the second quarter of 2020, Mount Milligan continued to access ground water from the Lower Rainbow Valley wellfield as well as other groundwater wells near the tailings storage facility (TSF). Exploration activities with focus on extending the groundwater capacity in the vicinity of the existing infrastructure continued in the second quarter of 2020 and will continue for the remainder of 2020.

The Company continues to pursue a longer-term solution to its water requirements at Mount Milligan and is in discussions with regulators, its First Nations partners and other stakeholders.

COVID-19

The temporary workforce reduction at Mount Milligan in April 2020 resulted in process plant throughput that averaged approximately 60% during the reduction period. During April, the process plant was subsequently shut down for eleven days to perform routine maintenance and reline the SAG Mill, and mining was suspended with stockpiled ore used to feed the plant upon restart. Workforce numbers returned to normal over the month of May resulting in mining and plant tonnages returning to planned levels.

One case of COVID-19 was confirmed onsite in May 2020, the person was isolated and removed from site, however none of the employee's co-workers tested positive and the site remained COVID-free. The site has taken many precautionary steps to avoid the spread of COVID-19 and has passed three inspections by regulators.

operating in the manner intended by management. Up to the point of achieving commercial production, gold revenue and the associated costs of production were capitalized.

COVID-19

On March 31, 2020, in response to Turkish government initiatives aimed to reducing the spread of COVID- 19, the Öksüt Mine undertook a significant reduction of workforce and operations for a two-week period. The reduction resulted in a suspension of open pit mining activities, though ore continued to be placed on the heap leach pad from stockpiles, irrigation continued, and the ADR plant continued to operate, all of which limited the impact on production. Öksüt returned to normal operations on April 18, 2020.

In May 2020, one of the mine's contractors tested positive for COVID-19, however the impact was limited and none of Öksüt's other contractors or employees tested positive. The mine has taken a number of precautionary steps to avoid the spread of COVID-19 and the site remained, to the best of the Company's knowledge, COVID-19 free.

Molybdenum Business

The molybdenum business includes two North American primary molybdenum mines that are currently on care and maintenance: the Thompson Creek Mine (mine and process plant) in Idaho and the 75%-owned Endako Mine (mine, process plant and roaster) in British Columbia. The molybdenum business also includes the Langeloth metallurgical roasting facility (the "Langeloth Facility") in Pennsylvania. The Thompson Creek Mine (the "TC Mine") operates a molybdenum beneficiation circuit to treat molybdenum concentrates to supplement the concentrate feed sourced directly for the Langeloth Facility. This beneficiation process allows the Company to process high copper content molybdenum concentrate purchased from third parties, which is then transported from TC Mine to the Langeloth Facility for further processing.

The molybdenum business provides tolling treatment services for customers by converting molybdenum concentrates to molybdenum oxide powder, briquettes and ferromolybdenum products. Additionally, molybdenum concentrates are purchased to convert to upgraded products which are then sold in the metallurgical and chemical markets.

COVID-19

The Molybdenum Business instituted a social distancing policy for employees in confined and common areas, as well as a mask policy for all areas where social distancing of at least six feet cannot be achieved. Additional changes include general manager approval of all visitors, restricted site travel policies and promoting working remotely whenever possible. At the end of the quarter, to the best of the Company's knowledge, the Molybdenum business remained COVID-19 free.

Second Quarter 2020 compared to Second Quarter 2019

The Molybdenum business recorded a loss from operations in the second quarter of 2020 of $27.3 million compared to a loss of $4.3 million in the same period of 2019. The loss recorded in the second quarter of 2020 included a $17.1 million charge for an increase in the asset retirement obligation (non-cash expense) associated with the two mines which are not currently in operation, resulting from a decrease in the risk- free interest rate assumption used for discounting the liabilities, and a $6.1 million write down in Product Inventory as a result of the decline in the molybdenum price over the quarter. The write-down was based on the forward price of molybdenum of $7.38 per pound as of June 30, 2020.

Cash used in operations in the second quarter of 2020 was $2.7 million, compared to $6.1 million in the comparative prior year period. The decreased use of cash in the second quarter of 2020 was due to a larger decrease in accounts receivable together with lower cost to acquire concentrate material for processing at the Langeloth Facility due to the lower molybdenum price.

In the second quarter of 2020, 3.6 million pounds of molybdenum were roasted, including 1.2 million from tolling arrangements, which represented a 14% and 25% decrease over the same prior year periods, respectively. The decrease was the result of the decline in demand for industrial products that use molybdenum which was adversely affected by the demand disruption created by the COVID-19 pandemic.

First Half 2020 compared to First Half 2019

The Molybdenum business recorded a loss from operations in the first half of 2020 of $69.0 million compared to $9.7 million in the same period of 2019. The loss recorded in the first half of 2020 included a $43.5 million charge for an increase in the asset retirement obligation (non-cash expense) associated with the two mines which are not currently in operation, as a result of a decrease in the risk-free interest rate assumptions used for discounting the liability. There was no change in the estimate of the remediation work required on these care and maintenance properties. The loss recorded in the first half of 2020 also included

centerragold.com

43

a $13.6 million write down in Product Inventory as a result of the decline in the molybdenum price in the first half of 2020.

Cash provided by operations in the first half of 2020 was $8.0 million, compared to cash used in operations of $6.7 million in the comparative prior year period. The increase was due to a $11.4 million United States tax refund received in the current period as a result of a change in the income tax laws in the U.S affecting prior year tax filings.

In the first half of 2020, 8.0 million pounds of molybdenum were roasted, including 2.0 million pounds from tolling arrangements, which represented a 21% and 39% decrease over the same prior year periods, respectively. The decrease was primarily due to the decline in demand for industrial products that use molybdenum which was adversely affected by the demand disruption created by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Pre-Development Projects

Greenstone Gold Property:

The Greenstone Gold property is located in northern Ontario, Canada approximately 275 kilometres northeast of Thunder Bay, Ontario. Centerra owns a 50% partnership interest in the Greenstone Partnership ("GGM"), which owns the Greenstone Gold development property, including the Hardrock deposit.

At the end of the second quarter, Greenstone received federal approval of the Schedule 2 amendment of the Metal and Diamond Mining Effluent Regulations, which is a significant permitting milestone for the Hardrock Project.

COVID-19

The Oakville, Ontario office of GGM, Geraldton Community Relations office and the Hardrock site remained closed during the second quarter. Reopening of the site for environmental field work and exploration activities is scheduled for July.

Second Quarter 2020 compared to Second Quarter 2019

During the second quarter of 2020, the Company spent $4.1 million compared to $8.0 million in the comparative period. Activities in the second quarter of 2020 included advancing detailed engineering, spending on vendor data, permitting, environmental and management plans, water modelling, implementation of indigenous community agreements, and exploration activities outside of the Hardrock deposit. As at June 30 2020, Centerra's contribution towards its C$185 million commitment in the Greenstone Partnership was C$155.7 million (US$118.5 million).

First Half 2020 compared to First Half 2019

During the first half of 2020, the Company spent $7.3 million compared to $14.8 million in the same comparative period. Activities in the first half of 2020 included advancing detailed engineering, spending on vendor data, permitting, environmental and management plans, fieldwork, water modelling, implementation of indigenous community agreements, and exploration activities outside of the Hardrock deposit.

Quarterly Results - Previous Eight Quarters

Over the last eight quarters, Centerra's results reflect the impact of increasing gold sales during a period of rising gold prices. Production costs have also benefited from decreasing diesel fuel costs and depreciating Canadian, Kyrgyz and Turkish currencies over the last eight quarters. Gold sold on a quarterly basis steadily increased from the third quarter of 2018 to the third quarter of 2019, followed by a slight decline in the fourth quarter of 2019 and increasing again in the first half of 2020. The Company recognized a non-cash increase in ARO expenses of $41.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2018 mainly to record an increase in water treatment costs at the TC Mine. The third quarter of 2019 reflects the impairment of $230.5 million recorded on the Mount Milligan Mine and the $10 million Kyrgyz Republic settlement expense. The fourth quarter of 2019 and first half of 2020 include a non-cash reclamation expense of $31.4 million and $43.5 million, respectively, as a result of a change in the interest rate used to discount the reclamation costs at the two mine sites which are not in operation. The quarterly financial results for the last eight quarters are shown below:

Contingencies

The following is a summary of contingencies with respect to matters affecting the Company and its subsidiaries. Readers are cautioned that the following is only a brief summary of such matters. For a more complete discussion of these matters, see the Company's news releases and its Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2019 and specifically the section therein entitled "Risks that can affect our business" available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. The following summary also contains forward- looking statements and readers are referred to "Caution Regarding Forward-looking Information".

Kyrgyz Republic

Kumtor Mine

Lysii Waste Dump Accident

On December 1, 2019, Centerra announced that the Kumtor Mine experienced a significant waste rock movement at the Lysii waste rock dump, which resulted in the fatalities of two Kumtor employees. The Company and Kyrgyz state authorities have completed their investigations into the accident. Kyrgyz state authorities' final reports concluded that there were no violations of Kyrgyz laws in connection with the accident. A criminal investigation, which is required in the Kyrgyz Republic any time there is a fatality at a workplace, is ongoing and the Company is cooperating with that investigation.

Petrov Lake Accident

On February 18, 2020, the Company announced that a fatal accident occurred at the Kumtor Mine when an excavator slipped down into a water filled basin while operating a shovel near Petrov Lake. The Company and Kyrgyz state authorities have completed their investigations into the accident. The Company continues to cooperate with Kyrgyz authorities on the related criminal investigation.

Canada

Mount Milligan Mine

In the first quarter of 2020, the Company has received a notice of civil claim from H.R.S. Resources Corp. ("H.R.S."), the holder of a 2% production royalty at Mount Milligan. H.R.S. claims that since November 2016 (when the royalty became payable) the Company has incorrectly calculated amounts payable under the production royalty agreement and has therefore underpaid amounts owing to H.R.S. The Company disputes the claim and believes it has calculated the royalty payments in accordance with the agreement. The Company believes that the potential exposure in relation to this claim, over what the Company has accrued, is not material.

Greenstone Gold Property

As previously disclosed, on December 23, 2019, the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, AuRico Canadian Royalty Holdings Inc. ("AuRico"), filed with the Ontario Superior Court of Justice a statement of claim against Greenstone Gold Mines G.P. Inc. (the "Greenstone Managing Partner"), Premier Gold Mines Hardrock Inc., a subsidiary of Premier Gold Mines Limited ("Premier") and two individual directors appointed by Premier to the Greenstone Managing Partner's board of directors. The claim relates to, among other things, whether a report prepared by G-Mining Services Inc. on behalf of the Greenstone Managing Partner constitutes a "Feasibility Study" under the amended and restated partnership agreement that governs the partnership between affiliates of the Company and Premier and how the Greenstone Managing Partner and Premier responded to questions regarding the report that were raised by members of Greenstone Managing Partner's board of directors, AuRico and the independent third-party expert retained by Centerra to review it. Statements of defense and/or counterclaim have been filed by Premier, two individuals nominated by Premier to the Greenstone Managing Partner's board of directors and the Greenstone Managing Partner.

Other

The Company operates in multiple countries around the world and accordingly is subject to, and pays, taxes under the various regimes in those jurisdictions in which it operates. These tax regimes are determined under general taxation and other laws of the respective jurisdiction. The Company has historically filed, and continues to file, all required tax returns and to pay the taxes reasonably determined to be due. The tax rules and regulations in many countries are complex and subject to interpretation. From time to time the Company's tax filings are subject to review and in connection with such reviews, disputes can arise with the taxing authorities over the Company's interpretation of the country's tax laws. The Company records provisions for future disbursements considered probable. As at June 30, 2020, the Company did not have any material provision for claims or taxation assessments.

Accounting Estimates, Policies and Changes

Accounting Estimates

The preparation of the Company's consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS required management to make estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The critical estimates and judgments applied in the preparation of the Company's condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 are consistent with those used in the Company's consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Management's estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Any changes or revisions to estimates and underlying assumptions are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected. Changes to these critical accounting estimates could have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

The key sources of estimation uncertainty and judgment used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and earnings within the next financial year are outlined in detail in note 4 of the December 31, 2019 financial statements.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures and Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

The Company's management, including the CEO and CFO, is responsible for the design of disclosure controls and procedures ("DC&P") and internal controls over financial reporting ("ICFR"). Centerra adheres to the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission's (COSO) revised 2013 Internal Control Framework for the design of its ICFR. There was no material change to the Company's internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the second quarter of 2020 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal controls over financial reporting.

The evaluation of DC&P and ICFR was carried out under the supervision of and with the participation of management, including Centerra's CEO and CFO. Based on these evaluations, the CEO and the CFO concluded that the design and operation of these DC&P and ICFR were effective throughout the second quarter of 2020.

Non-GAAP Measures

This document contains the following non-GAAP financial measures: all-in sustaining costs per ounce sold on a by-product basis, all-in sustaining costs per ounce sold on a by-product basis including taxes, and all- in sustaining costs per ounce sold on a co-product basis. In addition, non-GAAP financial measures include adjusted net earnings, adjusted net earnings per common share (basic and diluted), average realized gold price, average realized copper price, adjusted cash provided by operations, free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow. These financial measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and are therefore unlikely to 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, which can be found at http://www.gold.org.

Management believes that the use of these non-GAAP measures will assist analysts, investors and other stakeholders of the Company in understanding the costs associated with producing gold, understanding the economics of gold mining, assessing our operating performance, our ability to generate free cash flow from current operations and to generate free cash flow on an overall Company basis, and for planning and forecasting of future periods. However, the measures do 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 expenditures a company has to make to fully develop its properties. Accordingly, these non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for, analysis of our results as reported under GAAP.

Definitions

The following is a description of the non-GAAP measures used in this MD&A:

  • All-insustaining costs on a by-product basis per ounce sold include production costs, the cash component of capitalized stripping costs, corporate general and administrative expenses, accretion expenses, and sustaining capital, net of copper and silver credits. The measure incorporates costs related to sustaining production. Copper and silver credits represent the expected revenue from the sale of these metals.
  • All-insustaining costs on a by-product basis per ounce sold including taxes, include revenue-basedtax at Kumtor and taxes (mining and income) at Mount Milligan.
  • All-insustaining costs on a co-product basis per ounce of gold sold or per pound of copper sold, production costs are allocated between copper and gold based on production. To calculate the

centerragold.com

48

allocation of production costs, copper production has been converted to ounces of gold equivalent using the copper production for the periods presented, as well as an average of the futures prices during the quotational pricing period for copper and gold sold from Mount Milligan. For the second quarter and first half of 2020, 706 and 660 pounds of copper, respectively, were equivalent to one ounce of gold.

  • Adjusted net earnings is calculated by adjusting net earnings (loss) as recorded in the condensed consolidated interim statements of income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) for items not associated with ongoing operations.
  • Adjusted cash provided by operations is calculated by adjusting cash provided by operations as recorded in the condensed consolidated interim statements of statements of cash flows for items not associated with ongoing operations.
  • Average realized gold price is calculated by dividing the different components of gold sales (including third party sales, mark to market adjustments, final pricing adjustments and the fixed amount received under the Mount Milligan Streaming Arrangement) by the number of ounces sold.
  • Average realized copper price is calculated by dividing the different components of copper sales (including third party sales, mark to market adjustments, final pricing adjustments and the fixed amount received under the Mount Milligan Streaming Arrangement) by the number of pounds sold.
  • Free cash flow is calculated as cash provided by operations less additions to property, plant and equipment.
  • Adjusted free cash flow is calculated as free cash flow adjusted for items not associated with ongoing operations.
