Commentary

Scott Perry, President and Chief Executive Officer of Centerra stated, "As always, safety remains our top priority, and we are pleased that in its first full year of operation, the ?ks?t Mine achieved two million hours of work without a lost time injury. While we experienced some setback in our safety journey at the Mount Milligan Mine, we put a strategy in place to improve the current performance. Additionally, we continue to maintain rigorous health protocols at all of our operations to help prevent the spread of COVID-19."

"The Mount Milligan Mine and ?ks?t Mine paved the way for our strong operating performance in 2021. Record performance at the Mount Milligan Mine and an impressive first full calendar year of operations at the ?ks?t Mine, enabled us to achieve the upper end of our gold production guidance, producing more than 308,141 ounces in the year, at gold production costs of $604 per ounce and all-in sustaining costs on a by-product basis^NG of $649 per ounce. Gold production of 196,438 ounces at Mount Milligan was at the upper end of its 2021 gold production guidance, as the mine achieved the highest throughput since it started operations in 2014. Mount Milligan achieved this record year while maintaining a low cost operation with gold production costs and all-in-sustaining cost on a by-product basis^NG of $683 and $508 per ounce sold, respectively. In its first full year of operations, the ?ks?t Mine favourably outperformed both its gold production and all-in-sustaining cost on a by-product basis^NG guidance, achieving 111,703 ounces of gold production at $668 per ounce, respectively. The ?ks?t Mine's gold production costs of $457 per ounce sold were at the low end of the 2021 guidance range."

"Financially, the Company generated cash provided by operating activities of $271 million, including a record $269 million generated at the Mount Milligan Mine, in addition to $132 million generated at the ?ks?t Mine. The Company ended the year with a cash balance of $947 million."

"In 2022, we expect to see continued strong operational performance at the Mount Milligan and ?ks?t Mines, with a significant increase in gold production and cash generation. We anticipate consolidated gold production in 2022 to range from 400,000 to 450,000 ounces compared to 308,141 ounces of gold production in 2021. We expect to achieve this higher production level, while maintaining our low cost model with 2022 gold production costs and all-in sustaining costs on a by-product basis^NG expected to be $500 to $550 per ounce and $600 to $650 per ounce, respectively, in line with 2021. Cash provided by operating activities and free cash flow^NG in 2022 are expected to be between $300 to $350 million and $200 to $250 million, respectively, an increase from the $271 million and $178 million in 2021, respectively."

"Subsequent to year-end, we announced the acquisition of Gemfield Resources which will assist in replenishing Centerra's pipeline by adding the Goldfield Project to our portfolio. Host to a land package with an upside potential for expansion, the Goldfield Project is positioned to deliver another source of meaningful cash flow to Centerra in the future. We continue to invest in greenfield and brownfield exploration, with increased drilling programs at the Mount Milligan and ?ks?t Mines, where we have seen promising results. This is reflected in the increased mineral resources of contained ounces of gold and pounds of copper at the Mount Milligan Mine as at December 31, 2021."

"Based on the Company's continued strong financial position, operating results and cash flows, the Board approved a quarterly dividend of CAD0.07 per share on February 24, 2022 to shareholders of record on March 11, 2022."

"We have a well-established track record of delivering results and outperforming gold production guidance, which speaks to the quality of our assets and gives us confidence in our outlook at the core operations. In such regard, 2022 will be an exciting year for Centerra and we expect to see continued strong operational performance at the Mount Milligan and ?ks?t Mines, with increased gold production levels and meaningful generation of cash provided by operating activities and free cash flow^NG."

Exploration Update

Exploration activities in the fourth quarter of 2021 included drilling, surface sampling, geological mapping and geophysical surveying at the Company's various projects and earn-in properties, targeting gold and copper mineralization in Canada, Turkey, Finland and the United States of America.

Exploration expenditures at the Company's continuing operations for the year and for the quarter were $37.4 million and $9.2 million, respectively. The activities were focused on expanded drilling programs at the Mount Milligan Mine and the ?ks?t Mine, as well as at the Sivritepe Project, which is a greenfield exploration property located in north-eastern Turkey.

In the fourth quarter of 2021, exploration drilling (2,853 metres in four drill holes) and resource expansion drilling (12,592 metres in 18 drill holes) continued at the Mount Milligan Mine. Following previous successful in-pit and near-pit exploration drilling programs, the resource expansion drilling was designed to develop and upgrade resources and reserves in the MBX, WBX and DWBX zones below and to the west of the current ultimate open-pit boundary. There is potential for additional resources to exist in these areas and assays obtained throughout the fourth quarter of 2021 returned multiple intersections of potentially economic gold and copper porphyry mineralization outside of the current ultimate open-pit boundary. The Company announced updated reserves and resources for the Mount Milligan Mine as at December 31, 2021 which showed an increase in mineral resources of contained ounces of gold and pounds of copper. The results from the 2021 drilling program will be used in an updated resource model to support a new National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects technical report for the Mount Milligan Mine, planned to be released in the second quarter of 2022, and a new life-of-mine plan.

In 2022, drilling at the Mount Milligan Mine will continue to target gold and copper porphyry mineralization below and adjacent to the current ultimate open-pit boundary, as well as continue to test targets with potential for shallower mineralization peripheral to the current pits.

At the ?ks?t Mine, exploration activities comprised resource expansion drilling (7,399 metres in 35 drill holes) and exploration drilling (5,413 metres in 20 drill holes). Drilling activities were undertaken to provide greater confidence to the resources and reserves within the Keltepe and G?neytepe deposits in support of an updated resource model and new life-of-mine plan. Exploration drilling activities completed in 2021 expanded oxide gold mineralization at the Keltepe North and Keltepe Northwest deposits and provided encouragement that it may be possible to join these two deposits in the future. In addition, a new zone of oxide gold mineralization (Keltepe North-Northwest) was discovered just to the east of the Keltepe North and Keltepe Northwest deposits.

In 2022, drilling at the ?ks?t Mine will continue to target potential expansion of oxide gold mineralization at the Keltepe North, Keltepe Northwest, and Keltepe North-Northwest deposits and focus on new oxide gold mineralization at targets peripheral to the known deposits.

Selected drill program results and intercepts are highlighted in the supplementary data at the end of this news release.

Vision and Strategy

Centerra's vision is to build a team-based culture of excellence that responsibly delivers sustainable value and growth.

Centerra aims to meaningfully grow its low-cost operating portfolio, while building a great place to work, with care and consideration for the environment and the communities in which the Company operates. Centerra aims to achieve this overall strategy through the following strategic imperatives:

Driving growth: Identifying, critically evaluating, and executing targeted growth opportunities to ensure the organization is best positioned for sustainable growth and value-creation.
Optimizing existing assets: leveraging the Company's existing operations with consistent performance, focusing on activities that generate the most value.
Creating a great place to work: attracting, retaining, and developing diverse skilled talent to create a collaborative and inclusive environment.
Improving the Company's environmental social governance ("ESG") profile: maintaining and enhancing value for all of Centerra's stakeholders by embedding ESG principles across the enterprise throughout the mine life cycle and by delivering on the Company's targets.

Centerra's Business

Centerra is a Canadian-based gold mining company focused on operating, developing, exploring and acquiring gold properties in North America, Turkey, and other markets worldwide. Centerra's principal continuing operations are the Mount Milligan gold-copper mine located in British Columbia, Canada (the "Mount Milligan Mine"), and the ?ks?t gold mine located in Turkey (the "?ks?t Mine"). The Company also owns the pre-development stage Kemess project (the "Kemess Project") in British Columbia, Canada as well as exploration properties in Canada, the United States of America and Turkey and has options to acquire exploration joint venture properties in Canada, Finland, Turkey, and the United States. The Company owns and operates a Molybdenum business unit (the "Molybdenum BU"), which includes the Langeloth metallurgical processing facility, operating in Pennsylvania, USA (the "Langeloth Facility"), and two primary molybdenum mines in care and maintenance: the Thompson Creek Mine in Idaho, USA, and the Endako Mine (75% ownership) in British Columbia, Canada.

Prior to May 15, 2021, the Company also consolidated the results of the Kumtor Mine, located in the Kyrgyz Republic, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Kumtor Gold Company CJSC ("KGC"). Although the Company remains the rightful owner of KGC, the seizure of the Kumtor Mine and the continuing actions by the Kyrgyz Republic and Kyrgyzaltyn have resulted in the following: (i) the carrying value of the net assets of the mine were derecognized from the Company's balance sheet, (ii) no value was ascribed to the Company's interest in KGC, (iii) the Company recognized a loss on the change of control in the second quarter of 2021 and (iv) results of the Kumtor Mine's operations are now presented as a discontinued operation in the Company's financial statements.

Overview of Consolidated Results

Although the Company remains the rightful legal owner of KGC, due to the seizure of the Kumtor Mine and the continuing actions by the Kyrgyz Republic and Kyrgyzaltyn, the Company derecognized the assets and liabilities of the Kumtor Mine in the statements of financial position and presented its financial and operating results prior to the loss of control as discontinued operations for the three months and year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020. As a result, the Company's consolidated results from continuing operations discussed in this MD&A (including prior periods) exclude the Kumtor Mine's operations, unless otherwise noted.

Fourth Quarter 2021 compared to Fourth Quarter 2020

Net earnings of $274.9 million were recognized in the fourth quarter of 2021, compared to net earnings from continuing operations of $31.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2020. The increase in net earnings was primarily due to a $117.3 million impairment reversal at the Mount Milligan Mine (net of tax), the recognition of a $144.0 million deferred tax asset related to the Mount Milligan Mine and a $25.0 million incremental gain recognized on the sale of the Company's interest in the Greenstone Gold Mines Partnership ("Greenstone Partnership"). The increase was partially offset by higher current income tax expense related to the ?ks?t Mine. The Company did not report any earnings related to discontinued operations in the fourth quarter of 2021. Net earnings from discontinued operations were $63.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2020.

Adjusted net earnings^NG of $35.4 million were recognized in the fourth quarter of 2021, compared to adjusted net earnings^NG from continuing operations of $40.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2020. The slight decrease in adjusted net earnings^NG was primarily due to a decrease in gold sold at the ?ks?t Mine and a decrease in the copper sold at the Mount Milligan Mine, partially offset by an increase in gold sold at the Mount Milligan Mine.

The most significant adjusting items to net earnings in the fourth quarter of 2021 were:

$11.3 million in legal and other costs directly related to the seizure of the Kumtor Mine;
$24.2 million reclamation provision revaluation expense at sites on care and maintenance in the Molybdenum BU, resulting primarily from the change in estimated future reclamation cash flows and a decrease in the discount rate applied to these cash flows;
$132.7 million of income tax adjustments related primarily to the recognition of a deferred tax asset related to the Mount Milligan Mine;
$117.3 million, net of tax, related to the impairment reversal of the Mount Milligan Mine; and
$25.0 million gain on the sale of the Greenstone project as a result of the construction decision milestone at the Greenstone project, triggering an additional payment to the Company by no later than December 2023.

The most significant adjusting item to net earnings from continuing operations in the fourth quarter of 2020 was a $9.3 million reclamation provision revaluation expense at sites on care and maintenance in Molybdenum BU, primarily due to a decrease in the discount rate being applied to the estimated future reclamation cash flows.

Cash provided by operating activities was $61.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2021, compared to cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations of $84.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2020. The decrease in cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to an unfavourable working capital change at the Molybdenum BU from an increase in product inventory held and a higher average molybdenum price and an increase in income taxes paid of $9.6 million, primarily related to the ?ks?t Mine. The Company did not report any cash flows related to discontinued operations in the fourth quarter of 2021. Cash provided by operating activities from discontinued operations was $97.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2020.

Free cash flow^NG of $38.7 million was recognized in the fourth quarter of 2021, compared to free cash flow^NG from continuing operations of $48.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2020. The decrease in free cash flow^NG was primarily due to lower cash provided by operating activities, partially offset by slightly lower sustaining capital expenditures^NG.

Year ended December 31, 2021 compared to 2020

A net loss of $381.8 million was recognized in 2021, compared to net earnings of $408.5 million in 2020. The decrease was primarily due to the loss of $926.4 million recognized on the change of control of the Kumtor Mine and a full year of earnings from the Kumtor Mine in 2020, compared to four and half months in 2021. Net earnings from continuing operations of $446.9 million were recognized in 2021, compared to $16.1 million in 2020. The increase was primarily due to a $117.3 impairment reversal at the Mount Milligan Mine (net of tax), the recognition of a $144.0 million deferred tax asset related to the Mount Milligan Mine, a gain of $97.3 million on the sale of the Company's interest in the Greenstone Partnership, an increase in earnings from mine operations at the Mount Milligan Mine and the Molybdenum BU and a decrease in reclamation expense at sites placed on care and maintenance. The increase was partially offset by higher tax expense resulting from both the gain on the sale of the Company's interest in the Greenstone Partnership and higher income tax expense related to the ?ks?t Mine.

Adjusted net earnings^NG were $233.6 million in 2021, compared to adjusted net earnings^NG of $461.9 million in 2020. The difference is primarily due to the inclusion of earnings from operations from the Kumtor Mine up to the loss of control on May 15, 2021 of $84.4 million, compared to a full year of earnings from operations from the Kumtor Mine in 2020 of $394.3. Adjusted net earnings^NG from continuing operations in 2021 were $149.3 million, compared to $69.5 million in 2020.

Significant adjusting items to net loss in 2021 include:

$926.4 million loss on the change of control of the Kumtor Mine;
$27.5 million of legal and other related costs directly related to the seizure of the Kumtor Mine;
$24.1 million reclamation provision revaluation expense at sites on care and maintenance in the Molybdenum BU, resulting primarily from the change in the estimated future reclamation cash flows and a decrease in the discount rate applied to these cash flows;
$132.7 million of income tax adjustments related primarily to the recognition of a deferred tax asset related to the Mount Milligan Mine;
$117.3 million, net of tax, related to the impairment reversal of the Mount Milligan Mine;
$97.3 million gain on the sale of the Greenstone Partnership; and
$15.3 million gain from the discontinuance of the Kumtor Mine's fuel hedging instruments.

The most significant adjusting item to net earnings in 2020 was a $53.4 million reclamation provision revaluation expense at sites on care and maintenance related to the Molybdenum BU, resulting solely from the movement in the discount rate being applied to the estimated future reclamation cash flows.

Cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations was $270.9 million in 2021, compared to $272.4 million in 2020. The decrease in cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations was primarily due to an unfavourable working capital change at the Molybdenum BU from an increase in product inventory held at a higher average molybdenum price, a decrease in earnings from mine operations at the ?ks?t Mine and an increase in income taxes paid of $17.2 million in 2021 compared to income taxes refunded of $18.5 million in 2020. Partially offsetting the decrease was an increase in earnings from mine operations and a more favourable change in working capital at the Mount Milligan Mine from the timing of vendor payments between periods.

Free cash flow^NG from continuing operations of $178.4 million was recognized in 2021 compared to $168.9 million in 2020. The increase in free cash flow^NG from continuing operations was due to lower spending at the Kemess Project as well as no spending at the Greenstone project which was divested in January 2021, partially offset by higher sustaining capital expenditures^NG at the ?ks?t Mine primarily due to heap leach expansion and capitalized drilling costs.

Production Profile

Centerra's 2022 gold production is expected to be between 400,000 to 450,000 ounces, compared to 308,141 ounces produced in 2021.

Mount Milligan Mine's 2022 production is expected to be consistent with 2021. Gold production is expected to be in the range of 190,000 to 210,000 ounces compared to 196,438 ounces produced in 2021. Copper production is expected to be in the range of 70 to 80 million pounds compared to 73 million pounds produced in 2021. Gold and copper production is expected to be back-end weighted in 2022, with the first half of the year representing approximately 40% of the 2022 annual metal production total while the second half of the year will represent approximately 60% of the 2022 annual metal production total. The changes to expected gold and copper production at the Mount Milligan Mine are due to mine sequence.

At the ?ks?t Mine, 2022 gold production is expected to increase to the range of 210,000 to 240,000 ounces compared to 111,703 ounces produced in 2021. Gold production is expected to be back-end weighted in 2022, with the first half of the year representing approximately 40% of the 2022 annual gold production total while the second half of the year will represent approximately 60% of the 2022 annual gold production total. The average grade of ore stacked to the heap leach pad in 2022 is expected to be approximately 2.30 g/t compared to 1.54 g/t in 2021. Gold production guidance assumes that mining will continue at the Keltepe pit and the G?neytepe pit and assumes the receipt of permits from local authorities mid-2022.

Cost Profile

Gold production costs are expected to be in the range of $500 to $550 per ounce in 2022, a reduction from $604 per ounce in 2021, primarily due to higher gold sales at the ?ks?t Mine. Mount Milligan Mine's gold production costs are expected to be in the range of $675 to $725 per ounce in 2022, compared to $683 per ounce in 2021 as higher mining, milling and site administration costs are expected to be partially offset by a higher allocation of costs to copper. Gold production costs at the ?ks?t Mine are expected to be in the range of $300 to $350 per ounce in 2022, a significant decrease compared to $457 per ounce in 2021, primarily due to an increase in gold production, partially offset by slightly higher operating costs, including higher royalty costs due to higher revenue.

Copper production costs at the Mount Milligan Mine are expected to be $1.70 to $1.85 per pound in 2022, an increase from $1.51 per pound of copper in 2021. The increase in copper production costs is due to higher mining, milling and site administration costs at the mine, and a higher allocation of these costs to copper in 2022.

Consolidated all-in sustaining costs on a by-product basis^NG are expected to be in the range of $600 to $650 per ounce, compared to $649 per ounce in 2021. Mount Milligan Mine's all-in sustaining costs on a by-product basis^NG are expected to be in the range of $575 to $625 per ounce in 2022 compared to $508 per ounce in 2021, primarily due to higher production costs. The expected increase in production costs at the Mount Milligan Mine is primarily due to inflationary pressure. In 2021, the Mount Milligan Mine benefited from significant levels of inventory purchased at lower cost in 2020, which insulated the Company from the impacts of COVID-19 and inflation. The ?ks?t Mine's all-in sustaining costs on a by-product basis per ounce^NG are expected to be in the range of $425 to $475 per ounce, a significant decrease compared to $668 per ounce in 2021 due to an increase in gold ounces sold, partially offset by higher operating costs. Consolidated all-in sustaining costs on a by-product basis per ounce^NG are estimated to be in the range of $600 to $650 per ounce for 2022 compared to $649 per ounce in 2021, which reflect higher operating costs at the Mount Milligan Mine, higher corporate administration costs, offset by a significant increase in ounces sold for the ?ks?t Mine.

Consolidated all-in costs on a by-product basis^NG are expected to be in the range of $700 to $750 per ounce, a decrease compared to $785 in 2021. The Mount Milligan Mine's all-in costs on a by-product basis^NG are expected to be in the range of $600 to $650 per ounce in 2022 compared to $556 per ounce in 2021. The all-in costs on a by-product basis per ounce^NG at the Mount Milligan Mine are expected to increase in 2022 due to higher operating costs compared to 2021. The ?ks?t Mine's all-in costs on a by-product basis^NG are forecasted to be in the range of $450 to $500 per ounce, a significant decrease compared to $694 per ounce in 2021 due to an increase in gold ounces sold, partially offset by higher operating costs.

Capital Expenditures

Additions to PP&E, which is a GAAP figure, include certain non-cash additions to PP&E such as changes in future reclamation costs and capitalization of leases while capital expenditures^NG, comprised of sustaining capital expenditures^NG and non-sustaining capital expenditures^NG, which are non-GAAP measures and exclude them. Consolidated additions to PP&E in 2022 are expected to be in the range of $95 to $105 million compared to $118.9 million in 2021. Total capital expenditures^NG in 2022 are expected to be in the range of $95 to $105 million, consistent with 2022 expected additions to PP&E and slightly higher than 2021 capital expenditures^NG of $93.3 million, primarily due to a slight increase in sustaining capital expenditures at the ?ks?t Mine.

Sustaining capital expenditures^NG in 2022 are expected to be $90 to $100 million, a slight increase from $88 million in 2021. Sustaining capital expenditures^NG in 2022 at the Mount Milligan Mine are estimated to be in the range of $65 to $70 million, in line with $66.7 million in 2021 and relate primarily to the tailings storage facility ("TSF") costs, major overhauls and water management costs. Sustaining capital expenditures^NG in 2022 at the ?ks?t Mine are expected to be $20 to $25 million compared to $18.8 million in 2021 and relate primarily to the heap leach expansion, improvements to the absorption, desorption and recovery ("ADR") plant, capitalized stripping costs and other site support equipment costs.

Non-sustaining capital expenditures^NG in 2022 are consistent with prior year and relate to the Stage Flotation Reactors ("SFR") project to improve future metal recoveries at the Mount Milligan Mine, which is expected to be commissioned in the first half of 2022.

Molybdenum Business Unit

In 2022, care and maintenance expenses and reclamation expenditures related to the Molybdenum BU are estimated to be between $20 and $25 million, including approximately $5 to $7 million of reclamation expenditures at the Endako Mine. In 2021, the Company incurred $14.6 million of care and maintenance expenses related to the Molybdenum BU and $1.0 million of reclamation expenditures at the Endako Mine. 2022 care and maintenance costs are expected to be partially offset by the cash generated by the Langeloth metallurgical processing facility. The net cash required to maintain the Molybdenum BU is expected to be in the range of $15 to $20 million, compared to $39.8 million in 2021. The Company's assumed molybdenum price for 2022 is $17 per pound compared to average market price of $16 per pound in 2021.

^{(1) Included in sustaining capital expendituresNG.}

Planned exploration expenditures for 2022 are expected to be between $35 million and $45 million, including approximately $17 million for exploration at our existing mine sites and the balance for greenfield and generative exploration programs at other locations. At the Mount Milligan Mine, exploration activities are focused on extending resources and reserves below the current ultimate pit boundary by testing the width and continuity of a corridor of high- grade mineralization in the MBX stock footwall. At the ?ks?t Mine, the key objectives for drilling activities in 2022 include expanding oxide gold resources at the Keltepe North, Keltepe Northwest, and Keltepe North-Northwest deposits. Greenfield exploration programs will focus on expanding and enhancing existing portfolio of projects in the US, Canada, Turkey, Finland and other global locations which include $3 million for the Sivritepe project in Turkey.

In addition to the exploration expenditures identified above, the Company expects to incur $15 to $20 million in relation to the exploration activities at the Goldfield Project in 2022.

Corporate Administration

Corporate and administration expenses for 2022 are expected to be in the range of $40 to $45 million (including $8 million to $10 million of stock-based compensation expense). Corporate and administration expenses in 2021 were $27.1 including stock-based compensation expense of $1.3 million. The corporate and administration expenses are expected to be higher in 2022 compared to 2021 due to higher stock-based compensation expense, higher travel and personnel costs assuming a return to in-office work arrangements and lifting of public health measures and travel advisories, higher consulting costs related to corporate initiatives, including implementation of new enterprise resource planning software and higher insurance costs.

Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization

Consolidated depreciation, depletion, and amortization ("DD&A") expense included in costs of sales expense for 2022 is expected to be in the range of $150 to $165 million, an increase compared to $120.5 million in 2021, primarily due to the increased PP&E depreciable balance from the reversal of an impairment at the Mount Milligan Mine in the fourth quarter of 2021. Mount Milligan Mine's DD&A expense is expected to be $95 to $105 million, and ?ks?t Mine's DD&A expense is expected to be $45 to $50 million in 2022.

Income tax in relation to the ?ks?t Mine is estimated to be between $80 to $90 million, reflecting a 23% income tax rate, as well as withholding tax on expected repatriation of earnings. The higher 2022 tax expense at the ?ks?t Mine reflects the full utilization of the Investment Incentive Certificate by the end of 2021. The Mount Milligan Mine is subject to British Columbia mineral tax which is forecast to be between $5 and $10 million.

Cash Flow Profile

The Company expects higher cash generation in 2022 compared to cash generation from continuing operations in 2021. In 2022, consolidated cash provided by operating activities and free cash flow^NG are expected to be in the range of $300 to $350 million and $200 to $250 million, respectively. Consolidated cash provided by operating activities and free cash flow^NG from continuing operations in 2021 were $270.9 million and $178.4 million, respectively. The increase in cash generation from continuing operations in 2022 compared to 2021, is primarily due to an increase in gold ounces sold at the ?ks?t Mine, partially offset by higher production costs at both mines, an increase in sustaining capital expenditures^NG at the ?ks?t Mine, higher cash taxes at the ?ks?t Mine and higher corporate administration spending.

2022 Material Assumptions

Material assumptions or factors used to forecast production and costs for 2022, after giving effect to the hedges in place as at December 31, 2021, include the following:

a market gold price of $1,700 per ounce and an average realized gold price at the Mount Milligan Mine of $1,257 per ounce after reflecting the streaming arrangement with Royal Gold (35% of the Mount Milligan Mine's gold is sold for $435 per ounce).
a market copper price of $4.00 per pound and an average realized copper price at the Mount Milligan Mine of $3.36 per pound after reflecting the streaming arrangement with Royal Gold (18.75% of the Mount Milligan Mine's copper is sold at 15% of the spot price per metric tonne).
a molybdenum price of $17.00 per pound.
exchange rates: $1USD:$1.26 CAD; $1USD:13.0 Turkish lira; with a Turkish inflation assumption of 36%.
diesel fuel price assumption: $0.72/litre (CAD$0.91/litre) at the Mount Milligan Mine.

Mount Milligan Streaming Arrangement

The Mount Milligan Mine is an open pit mine located in north central British Columbia, Canada producing a gold and copper concentrate. Production at the Mount Milligan Mine is subject to an arrangement with RGLD Gold AG and Royal Gold, Inc. (together, "Royal Gold") pursuant to which Royal Gold is entitled to purchase 35% of the gold produced and 18.75% of the copper production at the Mount Milligan Mine for $435 per ounce of gold delivered and 15% of the spot price per metric tonne of copper delivered (the "Mount Milligan Streaming Arrangement"). To satisfy its obligations

under the Mount Milligan Streaming Arrangement the Company purchases refined gold and copper warrants and arranges for delivery to Royal Gold. The difference between the cost of the purchases of refined gold and copper warrants, and the corresponding amounts payable to the Company under the Mount Milligan Streaming Arrangement is recorded as a reduction of revenue and not a cost of operating the mine.

Other Material Assumptions

Other material assumptions used in forecasting production and costs for 2022 can be found under the heading "Caution Regarding Forward-Looking Information" in this document. Production, cost, and capital forecasts for 2022 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 Centerra's Business" in the Company's most recent AIF. The costs and cash flow impact associated with continued litigation and/or potential settlement of the Kumtor Mine dispute have not been incorporated into the 2022 guidance.

2022 Sensitivities

Centerra's revenues, earnings, and cash flows for 2022 are sensitive to changes in certain key inputs or currencies. The Company has estimated the impact of any such changes on revenues, net earnings, and cash flows.

				Impact on ($millions)			Impacts on ($ per ounce sold)
		Production Costs & Taxes	Capital Costs	Revenues	Cash flows	Net Earnings(after tax)	All-in sustaining costs on a by-product basis per ounce^NG

Gold price	$50/oz	1.5 - 4.0	-	16.5 - 19.0	12.5 - 17.5	12.5 - 17.5	4.0 - 5.0
Copper price⁽¹⁾	10%	0.2 - 0.4	-	4.4 - 6.7	4.2 - 6.5	4.2 - 6.5	14.5 - 16.5

^{(1) Includes the effect of the Company's copper sales, diesel fuel and Canadian dollars hedging programs, with current 2022 exposure coverage approximately 70%, 65% and 65%, respectively.}
^{(2) Appreciation of currency against the US dollar will result in higher costs and lower cash flow and earnings, depreciation of currency against the US dollar results in decreased costs and increased cash flow and earnings.}
^{(3) Assumes an increase in the Turkish Lira will be partially offset by inflation.}

Production, cost and capital guidance for 2022 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 herein under the headings "2022 Material Assumptions" and "Caution Regarding Forward-Looking Information" in this document and under the heading "Risks That Can Affect Centerra's Business" in this document and the Company's most recently filed AIF.

Mount Milligan Mine Technical Report and Three-Year Outlook / 2023 Guidance Update

The Company expects to conclude its ongoing life of mine planning work and issue a new National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101") technical report for the Mount Milligan Mine in the second quarter of 2022. Accordingly, the Company is reviewing its consolidated three-year outlook, including 2023 guidance which is likely to change from previously issued guidance and should no longer be relied upon. The Company expects to release an updated three-year outlook during the second quarter of 2022.

Recent Events and Developments

Goldfield Project

On February 22, 2022, Centerra announced that it had entered into an agreement to acquire Gemfield Resources LLC, owner of the Goldfield Project, from Waterton Nevada Splitter, LLC for total consideration comprised of $175 million in cash at closing and a $31.5 million deferred milestone payment. At the option of Centerra, the deferred milestone payment is payable in cash or common shares of the Company and becomes payable the earlier of 18 months following the closing of the transaction or the date a construction decision is confirmed with respect to the project, among other things.

Goldfield is a conventional open-pit, heap leach project located in a Tier 1 mining jurisdiction and contains three known deposits. The Company believes that the project has an upside potential from its large, under-explored land position in an established mining area in Nevada. The project increases Centerra's exposure to North America and provides an asset that can act as a foothold for further opportunities in the United States.

The Company has identified numerous targets for drilling activities in 2022 with the potential to expand known deposits. Centerra also plans to further refine existing technical studies undertaken to date by the previous owner, with a resource estimate expected to be released in the first half of 2023 and an updated technical study thereafter.

Kumtor Mine

In 2021, the Kyrgyz Republic and Kyrgyzaltyn took a number of coordinated actions that resulted in the seizure of the Kumtor Mine by the Kyrgyz Republic and a loss of control of the Kumtor Mine by Centerra. In particular:

The Kyrgyz Republic Parliament established a State Commission in February 2021 to, among other things, review the performance of the Kumtor Mine and to review the results of a previous Kyrgyz Republic State Commission established in 2012.
The Kyrgyz Republic Government resurrected a number of historical tax claims and environmental claims relating to Kumtor, each of which was resolved years prior either through previous settlements or Kyrgyz court decisions. When the Company disclosed the tax claims in March 2021, the amounts claimed by the Kyrgyz Republic were estimated to be approximately $352 million, including taxes, interest and penalties and the Kyrgyz officials subsequently increased the amounts claimed to over $1 billion and brought them into the arbitration proceedings. The Company denies these claims;
A Kyrgyz court rendered a decision awarding damages against KGC of approximately $3.1 billion payable to the Kyrgyz Republic in respect of alleged damages caused by KGC's past practice of placing waste rock on glaciers. The Company denies these claims;
During the spring of 2021, the Kyrgyz Republic Parliament began to consider several laws and legislative amendments that, among other things, would fundamentally alter and breach the 2009 restated Kumtor project agreements, including the 2009 Kyrgyz law that ratified the Kumtor project agreements. Such amendments would not only delete provisions that ensure the primacy of the Kumtor project agreements over other Kyrgyz legislation, but also subject Kumtor to certain Kyrgyz laws of general application, including tax laws; and,
The Kyrgyz Republic seized control of the Kumtor Mine on May 15, 2021 through a coordinated effort to take control of the Kumtor Mine site, KGC's offices, personnel, computers and documents. The Kyrgyz Republic acted following a preliminary report of the State Commission which made a number of groundless claims against Centerra, KGC and the Kumtor Mine and under the purported authority of a new Temporary Management Law hastily passed by the Kyrgyz Republic Parliament only a few days prior to such seizure.

According to statements made by Kyrgyz Republic authorities during and after the events described above, the Company understands that the Government of the Kyrgyz Republic has opened a series of criminal investigations relating to the Kumtor Mine and, in particular, alleged corruption of previous agreements entered into between Centerra, its predecessor, and the Government of the Kyrgyz Republic. The Company further understands that at various times the Kyrgyz Republic Government has arrested or detained a significant number of former Kyrgyz politicians and government officials, including several former prime ministers, in connection with such investigations.

In addition, there have been reports that the Kyrgyz Republic has reopened a series of criminal investigations in connection with the Kyrgyz Republic General Prosecutor Office's attempt to unwind an ordinary course $200 million dividend declared and paid by KGC to its sole shareholder, Centerra, in December 2013. The Company also understands that the Kyrgyz Republic has opened a criminal investigation into alleged "cyber-sabotage" and violations of Kumtor Mine employee rights related to actions taken by Centerra to disable Kyrgyz users from accessing its IT systems around the time of the seizure of the Kumtor Mine. Such reports identify certain members of former Centerra and KGC management teams and state that those individuals were prosecuted in absentia and put on wanted lists by the State Committee for National Security of the Kyrgyz Republic. The use of the Kyrgyz criminal law and investigations as a pressure tactic in aid of economic or commercial goals is not new for the Kyrgyz Republic. The Company denies any such allegations, which should be viewed in the broader context, including the Kyrgyz Republic Government's goal of seizing the Kumtor Mine and intimidating its political opponents.

Centerra, KGC and Kumtor Operating Company CJSC ("KOC") have taken a number of measures in response to the Kyrgyz Republic's unjustified and illegal seizure of the Kumtor Mine. In particular:

The Company has initiated binding arbitration against the Kyrgyz Republic and Kyrgyzaltyn to enforce its rights under longstanding agreements governing the Kumtor Mine and to, among other things, hold the Kyrgyz Republic and Kyrgyzaltyn accountable for any and all losses and damages that result from its actions against KGC and the Kumtor Mine. Following the resignation of the arbitrator on October 27, 2021 (citing the refusal by the Kyrgyz Republic and Kyrgyzaltyn to agree to protections he had requested against personal claims being brought against him by the parties or to pay his requested fees), a new arbitrator was appointed to adjudicate the arbitration dispute. The Company also filed an application requesting urgent interim measures in connection with the arbitration proceedings to address certain critical operational and safety problems at the Kumtor Mine to preserve the status quo at the Kumtor Mine and obtain some transparency and reporting as to the mine's activities;
In accordance with longstanding shareholder and investment agreements, the Company has taken steps to restrict Kyrgyzaltyn from transferring or encumbering any common shares of the Company or exercising any voting rights or dissent rights attached to Centerra common shares. In addition, dividends or distributions on Centerra common shares that would otherwise be payable to Kyrgyzaltyn or its affiliates are waived and will be donated to the Company to the extent such dividends or distributions can be attributed reasonably to KGC (or the Kumtor Mine's assets or operations) or distributions from KGC;
KGC and KOC filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the federal U.S. Bankruptcy Code in the Southern District of New York. The court-supervised process provides for, among other things, a worldwide automatic stay of all claims against KGC and KOC which the Company hopes will deter the Kyrgyz Republic from taking further precipitous action against KGC and the Kumtor Mine, including actions to enforce the meritless environmental and tax claims noted above; and,
The Company initiated proceedings in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice against Tengiz Bolturuk, a former director of the Company who resigned from the Company's board of directors to assume control of the Kumtor Mine on behalf of the Kyrgyz Republic as external manager, for breaches of his fiduciary duties to the Company.

No assurances can be given that Centerra will be successful in any of the foregoing legal proceedings. There also remains the further risk that additional regulatory, tax, or civil claims will be commenced against the Company and/or its Kyrgyz subsidiaries.

Since late 2021, the Company has been engaged in discussions and negotiations with representatives of the Government of the Kyrgyz Republic to resolve the outstanding disputes relating to the illegal seizure of control of the Kumtor Mine by the Government of the Kyrgyz Republic in May 2021. On January 3, 2022, and subsequent to the year ended December 31, 2021, Centerra publicly confirmed such negotiations and stated the framework of a resolution under discussion could involve the following principal terms:

Centerra receiving the approximately 26.1% in Centerra common shares held by Kyrgyzaltyn (an instrumentality of the Kyrgyz Republic). Upon receipt, Centerra would cancel the shares surrendered by Kyrgyzaltyn.
The Kyrgyz Republic receiving, and assuming all responsibility for KGC and KOC, the Company's two Kyrgyz subsidiaries, and the Kumtor Mine.
Payment, by Centerra, of a cash amount equal to the net amount of the three dividends paid by Centerra in 2021 that Kyrgyzaltyn did not receive as a result of the seizure of the mine and certain other financial consideration associated with the settlement of intercompany balances between Centerra and its Kyrgyz subsidiaries.
The resignation from Centerra's Board of Directors of Kyrgyzaltyn's two nominees.
Full and final releases of all claims of the parties and termination of all legal proceedings involving the parties in all jurisdictions with no admissions of liability.

Negotiations with representatives of the Government of the Kyrgyz Republic are ongoing, and there can be no assurance that any proposed resolution will be consummated or as to the final economic and other terms and conditions of any such resolution, if agreed. Any such resolution would need to be formalized in a definitive agreement and would be subject to compliance with all applicable legal and regulatory requirements and approvals, including any applicable independent valuation or shareholder or government approval requirements.

On February 15, 2022, the Ontario Superior Court of Justice rendered a decision in the Company's favour in its application for an order restraining Tengiz Bolturuk from breaching of his fiduciary duties as a former director of the Company. The Ontario Superior Court of Justice issued an injunction, permanently enjoining Mr. Bolturuk from disclosing or using any of the Company's confidential information and restraining him from having any involvement, directly or indirectly, with the management, operation or control of the Kumtor Mine so long as Centerra has or asserts an interest in KGC or the Kumtor Mine, as well as awarding costs to the Company. As previously noted, Mr. Bolturuk resigned from the Company's Board of Directors in May 2021 to assume control of the Kumtor Mine on behalf of the Kyrgyz Republic as external manager. No assurances can be given that any injunctions ordered are respected, or that any costs awards granted in connection with any resolved proceedings will be paid.

For more information regarding the events surrounding the seizure of the Kumtor Mine, please refer to the Company's Management's Discussion and Analysis for the periods ended March 31, 2021, June 30, 2021, and September 30, 2021.

COVID-19 Update

Centerra continues to take steps to minimize the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on its business. The Company has established strict protocols at its mine sites to help prevent infection and reduce the potential transmission of COVID-19. A testing facility, funded by the Company, has been recently established at the Mount Milligan Mine to perform rapid testing of all employees, contractors, and other visitors to the site. Vaccination clinics have been set up for employees and contractors at the Mount Milligan Mine and the ?ks?t Mine. As at December 31, 2021, more than 99% and 75% of site employees at the ?ks?t Mine have received two and three doses of vaccination, respectively. A vaccination program was also conducted at the Mount Milligan Mine making first second and third doses available to all employees. The Company believes that this program, in combination with a robust provincial program in British Columbia, has resulted in a large percentage of employees being inoculated. While COVID-19 vaccination rates continue to rise in the communities and countries in which the Company operates its mine sites and offices, the Company continues to maintain its COVID-19 protocols.

Neither the Mount Milligan Mine nor the ?ks?t Mine have been adversely impacted by COVID-19 in any significant way as employee absences due to COVID-19, or any other illnesses, have so far been successfully managed. However, the Company notes that the effects of COVID-19 on its business continue to change rapidly. Centerra continues to assess the resiliency of its supply chains, maintaining increased mine site inventories of key materials and fixed asset components. Additionally, the Company is pursuing an active sourcing strategy to identify potential alternatives for its critical supplies that can be purchased in alternative countries to reduce the risk of extended lead-times while trying to maintain an optimal cost structure. All measures enacted to date reflect the Company's best assessment at this time but will remain flexible and will be revised as necessary or advisable and/or as recommended by public health and governmental authorities.

Employee Health and Safety

Centerra continued to develop and implement best international practices and initiatives in 2021. The Company's safety leadership program, Work Safe | Home Safe has been implemented across the company and continues to be a foundational cornerstone of Centerra's safety culture. Extensive health and safety training continued to be provided to employees during 2021. Centerra also continued on its journey of safety risk management through the development and implementation of several health and safety risk mitigation measures including the mitigation of fatal risk and critical control management. The success of these initiatives resulted in an overall reduction in the total number of significant incidents by 41% in 2021 compared to 2020.

The Company's total reportable injury frequency rate in 2021 was 1.02, higher than expectation, primarily due an increase in reportable incidents at the Mount Milligan Mine. The Company has formulated a strategy to improve the current performance by expanding safety leadership training programs and dedicating more professional on-site resources towards improving health and safety performance. Despite the overall disappointing safety score, the Company recognized the following important milestones during the year ended December 31, 2021:

The ?ks?t Mine achieved two million work hours without a lost-time injury;
The Thompson Creek Mine, Langeloth Facility and Kemess Project each achieved one full year without a lost- time injury;
The Endako Mine achieved eight years without a lost-time injury.

The Company's strategic initiatives for 2022 include the ongoing implementation of a new data collection and analysis software application to enhance its reporting function and, the initiation of a corporate level occupational health and industrial hygiene program.

Environmental

Centerra is subject to certain environmental regulations in connection with our exploration, development, mining, and reclamation activities in each of the jurisdictions in which the Company operates. Prior to development and expansion, each mining property is subject to environmental assessment and permitting processes, including the engagement with applicable stakeholders. Environmental management plans and internal audits guide the compliance and monitoring programs at each operating site. The Company works closely with regulatory authorities in each jurisdiction where it operates to ensure ongoing compliance. In 2021, there were no reportable releases to the environment.

Centerra actively manages six TSFs. One facility is currently active, three are on care and maintenance, one is entering the closure phase and the final one is in the early stages of the closure phase. Centerra's TSFs are actively managed to maintain structural performance and ensure worker, environmental and public safety. Centerra's TSFs are designed in accordance with all applicable dam safety regulations and requirements. In addition, operation of the TSFs is informed by, and routinely checked against, guidance from the Canadian Dam Association and the International Commission on Large Dams. The Company has three types of TSFs: centreline (Mount Milligan Mine and Thompson Creek Mine), modified centreline (Kemess Project) and upstream (Endako Mine). The ?ks?t Mine has a heap leach facility and does not have a TSF.

Mining properties have closure and reclamation plans and related financial assurance. The Company adopts a strict regime for mine closure including at least annual updates to its reclamation provisions which are aligned with the International Council on Mining and Metals Mine Closure framework. The Company's total liability for reclamation and closure cost obligations at December 31, 2021 was estimated to be $337.5 million. The Company provides financial assurance (surety bonds and letters of credit) for reclamation costs related to the operations in North America. As at December 31, 2021, the Company has provided the regulatory authorities with $165.7 million in reclamation bonds and letters of credit for mine closure obligations. For more information please see note 15 to the annual financial statements.

Risks That Can Affect Centerra's Business

Overview

The Company's business contains significant risk due to the nature of mining, exploration, and development activities. Certain risk factors, including but not limited to those listed below, are similar across the mining industry while others are specific to Centerra. The risk factors below may include details of how Centerra seeks to mitigate these risks where possible. For additional discussion of risk factors please refer to the Company's Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2020, which is available on the Company's website www.centerragold.com, at SEDAR at www.sedar.com and EDGAR at www.sec.gov/edgar.

The Company is subject to risks that can have a material effect on the profitability, future cash flow, financial condition of the Company and its stated mineral reserves. Some of these risks relate to the mining industry in general, and others apply to specific properties, operations or planned operations. The Company has implemented an enterprise risk management ("ERM") program which applies to all of its operations and corporate offices. The program is based on leading international risk management standards and industry best practice. It employs both a bottom-up and top-down approach to identify and address risks from all sources that threaten the achievement of the Company's objectives.

The ability to deliver on the Company's vision, strategic objectives and operating guidance depends on Centerra's ability to understand and appropriately respond to the uncertainties or "risks" the Company faces that may prevent Centerra from achieving the Company's objectives. In order to achieve this, Centerra:

Maintains a framework that permits the Company to manage risk effectively and in a manner that creates the greatest value through risk informed decision making;
Integrates a process for managing risk into all the Company's important decision-making processes so that Centerra reduces the effect of uncertainty on achieving the Company's objectives;
Actively monitors key controls the Company relies on to achieve Centerra's objectives so that they remain in place and are effective at all times; and,
Provides assurance to senior management and relevant committees of the Board on the effectiveness of key control activities.

Centerra's Vice President, Risk & Insurance is responsible for providing the requisite tools, guidance, and leadership of the ERM program. Each operating site and project are responsible for identifying, assessing, mitigating, and monitoring risk. Efforts are coordinated by appointed "Risk Champions" who facilitate the process and provide regular reporting to Centerra's Vice President, Risk & Insurance.

The risk management program at Centerra considers the full life of mine cycle from exploration through to closure. All aspects of the operation and the Company's stakeholders are considered when identifying risks. As such, the Company's risk management program encompasses a broad range of risks including technical, financial, commercial, social, reputational, environmental, governance, health and safety, political and human resources related risks.

Board and Committee Oversight

The Risk Committee of the Board of Directors has oversight responsibilities for the policies, processes and systems for the identification, assessment, and management of the Company's principal strategic, financial, and operational risks. To ensure consistent communication of risks amongst Board committees, the members of the Risk Committee are comprised of at least one member from each of the other standing committees of the Board. Each of the other Board committees is responsible for overseeing risks related to their area of responsibility and reviewing the policies, standards and actions undertaken to mitigate such risks.

Management Oversight

The Company's executive team meets regularly with its Vice President, Risk and Insurance to review the risks facing the organization and to discuss the implementation and effectiveness of mitigation actions.

Principal Risks

The following section describes the risks that are most material to the Company's business. This is not a complete list of the potential risks the Company faces; there may be others the Company is not aware of, or risks that the Company feels are not material today that could become material in the future. For a more comprehensive discussion about the Company's risks, see the most recent Form 40-F/AIF on file with the SEC and Canadian provincial securities regulatory authorities and see the "Caution Regarding Forward-Looking Information" in this MD&A.

Strategic, Legal and Planning Risks

Strategic, legal and planning risks include political risks associated with the Company's operations in Turkey, United States and Canada; resource nationalism; reliance on cash flow from its subsidiaries; the impact of changes in, or more aggressive enforcement of laws, regulations and government practices including with respect to the environment; risk of failure of Centerra or its operations to comply with such laws, regulations or government practices and the potentially significant consequences thereof, including potential fines and penalties, loss of permits, interruptions or cessation of operations and loss of reputation; impact of community activism on laws and regulations; increases in contributory demands or business interruption; delays or refusals to grant required permits and licenses; status of the Company's relationships with local communities; Indigenous claims and consultation issues relating to the Company's properties which are in proximity to Indigenous communities; disputes with the Kyrgyz Republic relating to the Kumtor Mine; the risks related to outstanding litigation affecting the Company; the impact of any sanctions imposed by Canada, the United States or other jurisdictions against various Turkish individuals and entities; potential defects of title in the Company's properties that are not known as of the date hereof; the inability of the Company and its subsidiaries to enforce their legal rights in certain circumstances; the presence of a significant shareholder that is a state-owned company of the Kyrgyz Republic; conflicts of interest among its board members; risks related to anti-corruption legislation; Centerra's future exploration and development activities not being successful; Centerra not being able to replace mineral reserves and resources; risks related to mineral reserves and resources being imprecise; production and cost estimates may be inaccurate; reputational risks, particularly in light of the increase in social media; inability to identify new opportunities and to grow the business; large fluctuations in the Company's trading price that are beyond the Company's control or ability to predict and mitigate; potential risks related to kidnapping or acts of terrorism.

Financial Risks

The Company is subject to risks related to its financial position and total liquidity, including sensitivity of the Company's business to the volatility of gold, copper and other mineral prices; the use of provisionally-priced sales contracts for production at the Mount Milligan Mine; reliance on a few key customers for the gold-copper concentrate at the Mount Milligan Mine and gold dor? at the ?ks?t Mine; use of commodity derivatives; sensitivity to fuel price volatility; the impact of currency fluctuations; global financial conditions; access to future financing including the impact of environmental, social and corporate governance practices and reporting on the Company's ability to obtain future financing or accessing capital; the impact of restrictive covenants in the Company's credit facility which may, among other things, restrict the Company from pursuing certain business activities; the effect of market conditions on the Company's short-term investments; ability to obtain adequate insurance coverage; and changes to taxation laws in the jurisdictions where the Company operates.

Operational Risks

Mining and metals processing involve significant production and operational risks. Some of these risks are outside of the Company's control or ability to predict and mitigate. Risks include, but are not limited to, the following: unanticipated ground and water conditions; shortages of water for processing activities; adjacent or adverse land or mineral ownership that results in constraints on current or future mine operations; geological risks, including earthquakes and other natural disasters; wildfires; metallurgical and other processing risks; unusual or unexpected mineralogy or rock formations; ground or slope failures; pit flooding; tailings design or operational issues, including dam breaches, failures or significant seepages; structural cave-ins, wall failures or rock-slides; flooding or fires; equipment failures or performance problems; periodic interruptions due to inclement or hazardous weather conditions or operating conditions and other force majeure events; lower than expected ore grades or recovery rates; accidents; changes to, or delays in, transportation routes, including cessation or disruption in rail and shipping networks whether caused by decisions of third party providers or force majeure events (including COVID-19); interruption of energy supply; labour disturbances; the availability of drilling and related equipment in the area where mining operations will be conducted; the failure of equipment or processes to operate in accordance with specifications or expectations; tailings management facilities; exposure of workforce to widespread pandemic (including COVID-19); cyanide use; regulations regarding greenhouse gas emissions and climate change; development and construction costs being over budget; predicting decommissioning and reclamation costs; attracting and retaining qualified personnel; long lead-times required for equipment and supplies given the remote location of some of the Company's operating properties, and the potential that COVID-19 could disrupt such supply chains; reliance on a limited number of suppliers for certain consumables, equipment and components; and security of critical operating systems.

Market Conditions

Commodities

The Company's profitability is materially affected by the market price of metals, primarily the prices of gold, copper and molybdenum. Metal prices fluctuate widely and are affected by numerous factors beyond the Company's control.

	Average spot price
	Three months ended December 31,			Twelve months ended December 31,
	2021	2020	% Change	2021	2020	% Change
Gold (per oz)	1,795	1,876	(4)%	1,799	1,772	2%
Copper (per lb)	4.40	3.27	35%	4.23	2.80	51%
Molybdenum (per lb)	18.89	9.01	110%	15.98	8.68	84%

In the fourth quarter of 2021, the gold price remained on average, consistent with the comparative period. There were significant fluctuations in the course of 2021 when the gold price ranged from a low of $1,684 per ounce to a high of $1,943 per ounce as the gold price was impacted by a variety of factors, including the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, rising inflation and expectations in the shift in monetary policy by central banks.

In the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2021, the average copper price increased compared to the fourth quarter of 2020 and year ended December 31, 2020. This increase in the average copper price was driven by expectations surrounding global growth and changing shifts in monetary policy. There were significant price fluctuations in the course of 2021, primarily in the first half of 2021, with the copper price trading from a low of $3.51 per pound to a high of $4.86 per pound.

In the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2021, the average molybdenum price increased significantly compared to the fourth quarter of 2020 and year ended December 31, 2020. The initial increase in the price of molybdenum occurred in the second quarter of 2021, with this price increase from $10.95 to $18.95 per pound, stabilizing through the remainder of 2021. The significant increase in the price of molybdenum was impacted by Chinese supply and demand, including the increase in the number of global infrastructure projects.

Foreign Exchange

The Company receives its revenue through the sale of gold, copper and molybdenum in US dollars. The Company has operations in Canada, including its corporate head office, Turkey and the United States.

The exchange rate of the Canadian dollar and Turkish lira relative to the US dollar is an important financial driver for the Company for the following reasons:

all revenues are earned in US dollars;
a significant portion, approximately 50%, of operating and capital costs at the ?ks?t Mine are incurred in Turkish lira;
a majority, approximately 90%, of operating and capital costs at the Mount Milligan Mine are incurred in Canadian dollars;

Approximately 57% (2020 - 43%) of the Company's combined expenditures from continuing operations were incurred in currencies other than the US dollar during the year ended December 31, 2021.

The performance of these currencies during the periods ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 is as follows:

	Average market exchange rate
	Three months ended December 31,			Twelve months ended December 31,
	2021	2020	% Change	2021	2020	% Change
USD-CAD	1.26	1.30	(3)%	1.25	1.34	(7)%
USD-Turkish Lira	11.16	7.87	42%	8.89	7.02	27%

A chart accompanying this announcement is available at https://ml.globenewswire.com/media/8448183c-d0a9-4a8b-90a9-dcd9448494a0/hires/?v=02242022090400

On average, the Canadian dollar strengthened against the US dollar, ending the year at $1.26 while the Turkish lira weakened relative to the US dollar, ending the year at 13.3. The devaluation of the Turkish lira is being offset by persistent high levels of inflation in Turkey, reaching a 19-year high year over year change in 2021 of 36%. The Company expects this trend in Turkey to continue in the near term.

The Company utilizes its foreign exchange hedging program in order to manage its exposure to adverse fluctuations in the Canadian dollar, relative to the US dollar, see "Financial Instruments". The Company does not currently hedge the Turkish lira.

Diesel Fuel

Fuel costs at Centerra's continuing operations represent approximately 6% of production costs. The prices for Mount Milligan Mine's diesel fuel are based on a supply agreement for weekly deliveries and priced at the Prince George Rack Rate. The Prince George Rack Rate reflects general benchmark movements, plus additional costs such as seasonal premiums for winterizing, costs to meet regulatory requirements and transportation costs. Mining operations at the ?ks?t Mine are outsourced, and the fuel operating cost is included in the outsourcing contract costs, based on the published local retail diesel market price.

The Company utilizes its diesel hedging program in order to manage its exposure to adverse fluctuations in diesel fuel prices, see "Financial Instruments" section of this MD&A.

Financial Performance

As previously disclosed, the Company lost control of the Kumtor Mine in May 2021 and, accordingly, the Kumtor Mine has been classified as a discontinued operation. The financial and operating data below is presented on a continuing operations basis and thus excludes the Kumtor Mine for all periods discussed, unless otherwise noted.

Fourth quarter 2021 compared to fourth quarter 2020

Revenue of $251.1 million was recognized in the fourth quarter of 2021 compared to $212.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2020. The increase in revenue was primarily due to an increase in ounces of gold sold at the Mount Milligan Mine and higher average realized copper and molybdenum prices, partially offset by a decrease in ounces of gold sold at the ?ks?t Mine, pounds of copper sold at the Mount Milligan Mine and pounds of molybdenum sold at the Molybdenum BU.

Gold production was 91,197 ounces in the fourth quarter of 2021 compared to 82,044 ounces in the fourth quarter of 2020. Gold production in the fourth quarter of 2021 included 59,529 ounces of gold from the Mount Milligan Mine, compared to 42,664 ounces in 2020, primarily due to higher gold grades and recoveries, partially offset by slightly lower throughput. The ?ks?t Mine produced 31,668 ounces of gold in the fourth quarter of 2021 compared to 39,380 ounces of gold in the fourth 2020, primarily due to the site management's decision to apply lower volume of solution to the ore tonnes stacked on the heap leach in the fourth quarter of 2021.

Copper production at the Mount Milligan Mine was 17.0 million pounds in the fourth quarter of 2021 compared to 20.4 million pounds in the fourth quarter of 2020. The decrease was primarily due to lower copper grades and mill throughput.

The Langeloth Facility roasted and sold 2.5 million pounds and 2.4 million pounds of molybdenum, respectively, in the fourth quarter of 2021, compared to 2.7 million pounds and 3.6 million pounds, respectively in the fourth quarter of 2020. This decrease in the molybdenum roasted and sold was primarily due to a decline in molybdenum concentrate available for roasting, resulting from a decrease in concentrate supply and increased competition for concentrate.

Cost of sales of $163.0 million was recognized in the fourth quarter of 2021 compared to $124.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2020. The increase was primarily due to higher gold ounces sold, higher production costs at the Mount Milligan Mine and higher production costs at the Molybdenum BU as a result of higher average molybdenum prices paid to obtain product inventory to be processed.

Gold production costs were $550 per ounce in the fourth quarter of 2021 compared to $537 per ounce in the fourth quarter of 2020. The increase in gold production costs was primarily due to an increase in production costs at the Mount Milligan Mine, partially offset by a higher allocation of costs to copper production costs, due to the relative changes in the market prices of gold and copper.

All-in sustaining costs on a by-product basis^NG from continuing operations were $591 per ounce in the fourth quarter of 2021 compared to $813 per ounce in the fourth quarter of 2020. The decrease in all-in sustaining costs on a by-product basis^NG was primarily due to an increase in ounces of gold sold, higher average realized copper prices, and a decrease in corporate general and administrative costs.

All-in costs on a by-product basis^NG from continuing operations were $732 per ounce in the fourth quarter of 2021 compared to $1,144 per ounce in the fourth quarter of 2020. The decrease was primarily due to lower all-in sustaining costs on a by-product basis^NG and lower non-sustaining capital expenditures at the Kemess Project and at the ?ks?t Mine as mine construction was completed in 2020.

Corporate administration costs of $7.5 million were recognized in the fourth quarter of 2021 compared to $17.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2020. The decrease was primarily due to the effect of the decline in the Company's share price on the provision for share-based compensation and a decrease in transaction costs. In the fourth quarter of 2020, $2.0 million of transaction costs were incurred in relation to the disposal of the Company's interest in the Greenstone Partnership.

Reclamation expense, which primarily relates to movement in the reclamation liabilities for the Company's Molybdenum BU sites currently on care and maintenance, was $24.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2021 compared to $9.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2020. The increase in expense was primarily due to a decline in discount rates applied to the underlying future reclamation costs and an increase in underlying future reclamation cash flows impacted by various factors, including higher inflation and change in timing of reclamation activities.

An impairment reversal of $160.0 million ($117.3 million, net of tax) was recognized in the fourth quarter of 2021, related to the Mount Milligan Mine, which demonstrated improved and reliable performance since 2019 when the initial impairment loss was recognized. The impairment reversal also reflects the Company's increased confidence of resource to reserve conversion and increased long-term gold and copper price expectations relative to the prior period. The impairment reversal related to the Mount Milligan Mine represents a full reversal of the impairment taken in the fourth quarter of 2019 allocated to long-lived assets, as adjusted for amortization. The Company did not identify any impairments or impairment reversals in the fourth quarter of 2020.

A gain on sale of Greenstone Partnership of $25.0 million was recognized in the fourth quarter of 2021 in relation to a portion of contingent consideration owing to the Company from Orion Mine Finance Group ("Orion") becoming payable in the future based on a construction decision being made at the Greenstone project.

The company recognized an income tax recovery of $61.6 million, in the fourth quarter of 2021, including deferred income tax recovery of $93.6 million and current income tax expense of $32.0 million, compared to an income tax expense of $2.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2020, including current income tax expense of $1.7 million and deferred income tax expense of $1.2 million. The increase in current income tax expense was due to higher income tax expense related to the ?ks?t Mine which had higher taxable earnings, the full utilization of its Investment Incentive Certificate in the year, and a withholding tax expense incurred on dividend distribution. The increase in deferred income tax recovery was primarily due to the partial release of a valuation allowance on deductible temporary differences relating to the Mount Milligan Mine.

Year ended December 31, 2021 compared to 2020

Revenue of $900.1 million was recognized in 2021 compared to $721.3 million in 2020. The increase in revenue was primarily due to higher gold sold at the Mount Milligan Mine and the ?ks?t Mine and higher average realized copper and molybdenum prices, partially offset by a decrease in pounds of copper sold at the Mount Milligan Mine and a decrease in pounds of molybdenum sold at the Molybdenum BU.

Gold production was 308,141 ounces in 2021 compared to 267,923 ounces in 2020. Gold production in 2021 included 196,438 ounces of gold from the Mount Milligan Mine, compared to 161,855 ounces in 2020, primarily due to higher throughput, gold grades and recoveries. The ?ks?t Mine, which commenced commercial production on May 31, 2020, produced 111,703 ounces of gold in 2021 compared to 106,068 ounces of gold in 2020, primarily due to higher number of ore tonnes stacked on the heap leach, higher heap leach grade and recoveries.

Copper production at the Mount Milligan Mine was 73.3 million pounds in 2021 compared to 82.8 million pounds in 2020. The decrease was primarily due to lower copper grades, partially offset by higher throughput.

The Langeloth Facility roasted and sold 10.3 million pounds and 11.5 million pounds of molybdenum, respectively, in 2021 compared to 13.8 million pounds and 13.7 million pounds, respectively, in 2020. The decrease in the molybdenum both roasted and sold was primarily due to a decline in molybdenum concentrate available for roasting, resulting from a decrease in concentrate supply and increased competition for concentrate.

Cost of sales of $608.2 million was recognized in 2021 compared to $505.8 million in 2020. The increase was primarily due to an increase in gold and molybdenum sold and, higher production costs at the Mount Milligan Mine and the ?ks?t Mine. In addition, there were higher production costs at the Molybdenum BU related to higher average molybdenum prices paid to obtain product inventory to be processed. The increase in cost of sales was also partially due to higher depreciation, depletion and amortization expense at the ?ks?t Mine primarily due to a higher number of tonnes stacked on the heap leach pad and the Mount Milligan Mine primarily due to a decrease in reserves between the periods.

Gold production costs from continuing operations were $604 per ounce in 2021 compared to $615 per ounce in 2020. The decrease in gold production costs from continuing operations was primarily due to an increase in gold sold at the Mount Milligan Mine and the ?ks?t Mine, partially offset by an increase in production costs at both mines.

All-in sustaining costs on a by-product basis^NG from continuing operations were $649 per ounce in 2021 compared to $718 per ounce in 2020. The decrease was primarily due to an increase in ounces of gold sold at the Mount Milligan Mine and the ?ks?t Mine, higher average realized copper prices and lower corporate administration expenses as a result of a decrease in the share price used to calculate the Company's share-based compensation liability. Partially offsetting this decrease were higher production costs at the Mount Milligan Mine and ?ks?t Mine.

All-in costs on a by-product basis^NG were $785 per ounce in 2021 compared to $1,116 per ounce in 2020. The decrease was due to lower all-in sustaining costs on a by-product basis^NG and lower non-sustaining capital expenditures^NG and care and maintenance costs at the Kemess Project. In addition, there were minimal non-sustaining capital expenditures^NG at the ?ks?t Mine as the mine construction was completed in 2020.

Corporate administration expenses were $27.1 million in 2021, compared to $45.7 million in 2020. The decrease was primarily due to the effect of the decline in the Company's share price on the provision for share-based compensation.

Reclamation expense, which primarily relates to movement in the reclamation liabilities for the Company's Molybdenum BU sites currently on care and maintenance, was $23.3 million in 2021 compared to $53.4 million in 2020. The decrease in reclamation expense was primarily due to a larger decline in discount rates applied in 2020. This was partially offset by an increase in underlying future reclamation cash flows in 2021 impacted by various factors, including higher inflation and change in timing of reclamation activities.

An impairment reversal of $160.0 million ($117.3 million net of tax) was recognized in the fourth quarter of 2021, related to the Mount Milligan Mine, a full reversal of the impairment taken in the fourth quarter of 2019. The Company did not identify any impairments or impairment reversals in 2020.

A gain on sale of $97.3 million was recognized in 2021 on the disposal of the Company's 50% interest in the Greenstone Partnership. This gain was partially recognized in the first quarter of 2021 when the sale was completed and partially recognized in the fourth quarter of 2021 when the construction date was declared for the Greenstone project and an initial contingent payment of $25.0 million became receivable and owing from Orion.

Other non-operating expenses of $23.5 million were recognized in 2021 compared to $6.2 million in 2020. The increase in other non-operating expenses was primarily due to corporate legal costs incurred in connection with the seizure and the loss of control of the Kumtor Mine.

Income tax recovery of $44.0 million, including current income tax expense of $40.1 million and deferred income tax recovery of $84.1 million, was recognized in 2021, compared to an income tax expense of $7.7 million, including current income tax expense of $6.5 million and deferred income tax expense of $1.2 million in 2020. The increase in current income tax expense was primarily due to higher taxable earnings generated by the ?ks?t Mine as the benefits from the eligible expenditures under the Investment Incentive Certificate were fully utilized, and withholding tax expense in relation to dividend distributions. The increase in deferred income tax recovery was primarily due to the partial release of a valuation allowance on deductible temporary differences relating to the Mount Milligan Mine, partially offset by deferred income tax expense recorded on the sale of the Company's interest in the Greenstone Partnership.

Net loss from discontinued operations of $828.7 million was recognized in 2021, compared to net earnings from discontinued operations of $392.4 million in 2020. The decrease in net earnings was primarily due to the loss on the change of control of $926.4 million recognized in the second quarter of 2021 and a shorter operating period as a result of the seizure of the Kumtor Mine in May 2021. Partially offsetting the decrease in net earnings was a gain recognized on the discontinuance of the Kumtor Mine's fuel hedging program.

Unwinding these positions resulted in the recognition of realized gain on settlement of $14.2 million, which was recorded in (loss) earnings from discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of (loss) earnings and comprehensive (loss) income.

As at December 31, 2021, Centerra has not entered into any off-balance sheet arrangements with special purpose entities, nor does it have any unconsolidated affiliates.

Balance Sheet Review

($millions)	December 31, 2021	December 31, 2020	% Change
Total Assets	2,676.60	3,136.00	(15%)
Total Liabilities	633	670	(6%)
Total Equity	2,043.60	2,466.00	(17%)

As a result of the loss of control of the Kumtor Mine in the second quarter of 2021, the Company deconsolidated the assets and liabilities of KGC, a 100%-owned subsidiary that holds the Kumtor Mine, in the Company's consolidated statements of financial position for the period ended December 31, 2021. The assets and liabilities presented as at December 31, 2020 are inclusive of the Kumtor Mine. The movement in the following financial statement line items between December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 was significantly impacted by the loss of control of the Kumtor Mine:

Inventory: derecognition of product inventory of $333.6 million;
Property, plant and equipment: derecognition of $629.4 million;
Other non-current assets: derecognition of reclamation deposits balance of $52.9 million;
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities: derecognition of $63.3 million; and
Provision for reclamation: derecognition of $56.5 million.

Cash as at December 31, 2021 was $947.2 million compared to $545.2 million as at December 31, 2020. The increase was due to the receipt of $210.0 million as consideration for the sale of the Company's 50% interest in the Greenstone Partnership in the first quarter of 2021, free cash flow^NG from continuing operations of $178.4 million and net cash flow from discontinued operations of $47.8 million. The increase in cash was partially offset by dividends paid of $45.0 million in 2021.

Total inventories as at December 31, 2021 were $221.2 million compared to $580.6 million as at December 31, 2020. The decrease in inventories was primarily due to the processing of a large portion of ore stockpiles at the Kumtor Mine prior to the loss of control, the loss of control of the Kumtor Mine as outlined above as well as processing of a large portion of ore stockpiles and timing of concentrate sales at the Mount Milligan Mine. The decrease was partially offset by an increase in inventories at the Langeloth Facility from higher working capital needs as result of higher molybdenum prices and an increase in heap leach inventory balance at the ?ks?t Mine from the site management's decision to apply lower volume of solution to the ore tonnes stacked on the heap leach in the fourth quarter of 2021.

At December 31, 2021, the product inventory balance consisted of 58,333 contained gold ounces and 15.8 million contained pounds of copper in surface stockpiles at the Mount Milligan Mine (4.3 million tonnes of ore at a grade of 0.42 g/t gold and 0.17% copper), of which 30% is expected to be processed in 2022. Additionally, the product inventory balance at the ?ks?t Mine consisted of 21,077 contained gold ounces in solution at the absorption, desorption, and recovery plant and 80,102 contained gold ounces on surface and stacked (0.5 million tonnes of ore at a grade of 1.23 g/t gold in surface stockpiles and 1.54 g/t gold stacked on the heap leach pad).

Other current assets at December 31, 2021 were $25.8 million compared to $41.0 million at December 31, 2020. The decrease was primarily due to decrease in the current portion of derivative assets, particularly the Company's position on foreign exchange contracts.

The carrying value of property, plant and equipment as at December 31, 2021 was $1.27 billion compared to $1.69 billion as at December 31, 2020. The decrease was primarily due to the loss of control of the Kumtor Mine, as outlined above, and depreciation, depletion and amortization of property, plant and equipment in their normal course of operations during the year. Partially offsetting the overall decrease was $214.6 million of additions capitalized to the property, plant and equipment and the $160.0 million impairment reversal at the Mount Milligan Mine.

Deferred income tax assets as at December 31, 2021 were $101.3 million compared to nil as at December 31, 2020. The increase was due to the partial release of a valuation allowance on deductible temporary differences related to the Mount Milligan Mine.

Other non-current assets at December 31, 2021 were $32.1 million compared to $77.1 million at December 31, 2020. The decrease was primarily due to the loss of control of the Kumtor Mine, as outlined above, partially offset by $25.0 million receivable from Orion as a result of Greenstone project being approved for construction.

Income taxes payable at December 31, 2021 was $25.3 million compared to $2.5 million at December 31, 2020. The increase was primarily due to the net impact of current income tax expense and payments during the year, with the most significant balance related to current income tax of the ?ks?t Mine.

Deferred income tax liabilities at December 31, 2021 were $54.9 million compared to $39.5 million at December 31, 2020. The increase was primarily due to the tax effects, including the impact of foreign exchange on temporary differences between accounting and tax basis at the ?ks?t Mine and deferred income tax expense of $9.3 million recorded on the sale of the Company's interest in the Greenstone Partnership.

The provision for reclamation at December 31, 2021 was $337.5 million compared to $352.2 million at December 31, 2020. The decrease was primarily due to the loss of control of the Kumtor Mine, partially offset by a decrease in the discount rates applied to the future cash flows and an increase in the underlying future reclamation cash flows at the Endako Mine, the Thompson Creek Mine and Kemess Project due to variety of factors, including higher inflation, timing of reclamation activities and changes to the closure plan.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company's total liquidity position as at December 31, 2021 was $1,347.2 million, representing a cash balance of $947.2 million and $400 million available under a corporate credit facility.

Due to the seizure of the Kumtor Mine and the continuing actions by the Kyrgyz Republic and Kyrgyzaltyn, the Company derecognized the assets and liabilities of the Kumtor Mine in the statements of financial position and presented its financial and operating results prior to the loss of control as discontinued operations for the three months and year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020. As a result, the Company's consolidated cash flow results from continuing operations discussed in this MD&A (including prior periods) exclude the Kumtor Mine's operations, unless otherwise noted.

Fourth quarter 2021 compared to fourth quarter 2020

Cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations was $61.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2021, compared to $84.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2020. The decrease in cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations was primarily due to an unfavourable working capital change at the Molybdenum BU as a result of an increase in product inventory held and a higher average molybdenum price, as well as an increase in income taxes paid of $9.6 million.

Cash used in investing activities from continuing operations of $13.1 million was recognized in the fourth quarter of 2021 compared to $35.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2020. The decrease was primarily due to proceeds received on the disposition of PP&E, and lower PP&E additions at the Kemess Project and the ?ks?t Mine.

Cash used in financing activities during the fourth quarter of 2021 was $13.1 million compared to $15.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2020. The decrease was primarily due to a reduction in borrowing costs.

Year-ended December 31, 2021 compared to 2020

Cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations was $270.9 million in 2021 compared to $272.4 million in 2020. The decrease in cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations was primarily due to an unfavourable working capital change at the Molybdenum BU as a result of an increase in product inventory held and a higher average molybdenum price, as well as a decrease in earnings from mine operations at the ?ks?t Mine and an increase in income taxes paid of $17.2 million in 2021 compared to income taxes refunded of $18.5 million in 2020. Partially offsetting the decrease was an increase in earnings from mine operations at the Mount Milligan Mine and a more favourable change in working capital at the Mount Milligan Mine.

Cash provided by investing activities from continuing operations of $132.5 million was recognized in 2021 compared to cash used in investing activities from continuing operations of $74.6 million in 2020. The increase in cash provided by investing activities from continuing operations was primarily due to the proceeds received from the sale of the Company's 50% interest in the Greenstone Partnership and proceeds received on the disposition of PP&E, lower PP&E additions related to the construction at the ?ks?t Mine as it was completed in 2020, and lower PP&E additions at the Kemess Project. The increase was partially offset by higher PP&E additions at the Mount Milligan Mine primarily due to the expenditures related to the purchase of new mining equipment, TSF development costs and major planned equipment rebuilds and higher PP&E additions at the ?ks?t Mine primarily related to the heap leach expansion, capitalized drilling costs, LOM study costs and ADR plant upgrade costs.

Cash used in financing activities of $49.1 million was recognized in 2021 compared to $124.0 million in 2020. The decrease was primarily due to the net repayment of the corporate revolving credit facility in 2020 and lower borrowing costs, partially offset by higher dividends paid.

Operating Mines and Facilities

Mount Milligan Mine

The Mount Milligan Mine is an open-pit mine located in north central British Columbia, Canada producing a gold and copper concentrate. Production at the Mount Milligan Mine is subject to an arrangement with Royal Gold pursuant to which Royal Gold is entitled to purchase 35% of the gold produced and 18.75% of the copper production at the Mount Milligan Mine for $435 per ounce of gold delivered and 15% of the spot price per metric tonne of copper delivered. To satisfy its obligations under the Mount Milligan Streaming Arrangement, the Company purchases refined gold and copper warrants and arranges for delivery to Royal Gold. The difference between the cost of the purchases of refined gold and copper warrants and the corresponding amounts payable to the Company under the Mount Milligan Streaming Arrangement is recorded as a reduction of revenue and not a cost of operating the mine.

Water Update

Stored water inventory at the Mount Milligan Mine's TSF is critical to the mine's ability to process ore through the process plant on a sustainable basis. During 2021, the Mount Milligan Mine accessed water from surface water sources and groundwater wells near the TSF. The stored water as at December 31, 2021 is sufficient to enable continuous production for a period of at least 12 months, under normal conditions. The Company expects the water inventory level to decrease during the winter months before being replenished during freshet in the spring.

In January 2022, and subsequent to the year ended December 31, 2021, after significant discussions and consultation with British Columbia regulators, First Nations partners and other stakeholders, the Company obtained an amendment to the Mount Milligan Mine's environmental assessment certificate which will allow access to long-term surface water sources for the life of the project, subject to the receipt of ordinary course permits.

Fourth Quarter 2021 compared to Fourth Quarter 2020

Earnings from mine operations of $50.9 million were recognized in the fourth quarter of 2021 compared to $35.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2020. The increase was primarily due to higher gold ounces sold and higher average realized copper prices, partially offset by an increase in production costs, higher depreciation, depletion and amortization expenses and lower copper pounds sold.

Mount Milligan Q4 cash provided by mine operations ($ millions) - https://ml.globenewswire.com/media/ed78a20a-3c95-45da-8001-9289073b671b/hires/?v=02242022091300

Cash provided by mine operations of $63.5 million was recognized in the fourth quarter of 2021 compared to $44.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2020. The increase was primarily due to higher gold ounces sold and higher average realized copper prices, partially offset by an increase in production costs and lower copper pounds sold.

Free cash flow^NG from mine operations of $46.3 million was recognized in the fourth quarter of 2021 compared to $30.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2020, primarily due to an increase in cash provided by mine operations, partially offset by an increase in sustaining capital expenditures^NG related to the implementation of a tailings pumping system, which will replace the current gravity system. In addition, there were higher non-sustaining capital expenditures^NG related related to the stage flotation reactors project in the fourth quarter of 2021.

During the fourth quarter of 2021, mining activities were carried out in phases 4, 5, 7, 8, and 9 of the open pit. Total tonnes mined were 10.2 million tonnes in the fourth quarter of 2021 compared to 10.9 million tonnes in the fourth quarter of 2020. The decrease in tonnes mined was primarily due to lower tonnes of ore mined as a result of lower operator availability for mining equipment and consequently higher rehandling from the stockpile to maintain the required throughput.

Total process plant throughput for the fourth quarter of 2021 was 5.4 million tonnes, averaging 59,223 tonnes per calendar day, compared to 5.5 million tonnes, averaging 59,762 tonnes per calendar day in the fourth quarter of 2020. The decrease in throughput was a result of the longer planned process plant shutdown in the fourth quarter of 2021 which required the full SAG mill lining changeover compared to a less significant shutdown in the fourth quarter of 2020.

Gold production was 59,529 ounces in the fourth quarter of 2021 compared to 42,664 ounces in the fourth quarter of 2020. The increase was due to higher gold grades and recoveries. During the fourth quarter of 2021, the average gold grade and recoveries were 0.53 g/t and 66%, compared to 0.40 g/t and 61% in the fourth quarter of 2020. Total copper production was 17.0 million pounds in the fourth quarter of 2021 compared to 20.4 million pounds in the fourth quarter of 2020. The decrease was due to lower copper grades, partially offset by higher recoveries.

Gold production costs were $670 per ounce in the fourth quarter of 2021 compared to $755 per ounce in fourth quarter of 2020. The decrease was due to an increase in gold sold during the fourth quarter of 2021 and a higher allocation of costs to copper production costs, due to the relative changes in the market prices of gold and copper. This was partially offset by higher milling costs due to higher contractor costs associated with the SAG mill liners changeover during the planned shutdown, higher mining costs due to an increase in fuel consumption from higher number of tonnes moved (including tonnes rehandled from the stockpile), higher professional services costs related to mining studies and the impact of the strengthening of the Canadian dollar relative to the US dollar between periods. In the fourth quarter of 2021, the Company was able to minimize the impact of foreign exchange and diesel fuel cost pressures on the Mount Milligan Mine through its hedging program. In addition, the mine was able to partially insulate itself from rising inflation in Canada and COVID-19 related supply chain issues by maintaining increased levels of supplies inventory.

Copper production costs were $1.79 per pound in the fourth quarter of 2021 compared to $1.31 per pound in the fourth quarter of 2020. The increase was primarily due to a decrease in copper sold, a higher allocation of costs to copper production costs, due to the relative changes in the market prices of gold and copper, and higher production costs outlined above.

All-in sustaining costs on a by-product basis^NG were $518 per ounce in the fourth quarter of 2021 compared to $488 per ounce in the fourth quarter of 2020. The increase was primarily due to higher production costs and higher sustaining capital expenditures^NG related to the implementation of a tailings pumping system, which will replace the current gravity system, partially offset by higher gold ounces sold and higher average realized copper prices.

All-in costs on a by-product basis^NG were $573 per ounce in the fourth quarter of 2021 compared to $577 per ounce in the fourth quarter of 2020. The decrease was due to lower exploration expense, partially offset by an increase in all-in sustaining costs on a by-product basis^NG and higher non-sustaining capital expenditures^NG related to the stage flotation reactors project.

Year-ended December 31, 2021 compared to 2020

Earnings from mine operations of $165.2 million were recognized in 2021 compared to $101.1 million in 2020. The increase was primarily due to an increase in gold sold and higher average realized copper prices. This was partially offset by an increase in production costs from higher throughput, higher milling costs, and the impact of the strengthening of the Canadian dollar. In addition, there was an increase in depreciation, depletion and amortization expense primarily due to the decrease in reserves between the periods.

Cash provided by mine operations of $268.9 million was recognized in 2021 compared to $185.3 million in 2020. The increase was due to an increase in gold sold, higher average realized copper prices, and a favourable change in working capital, primarily related to the timing of vendor payments between periods. This was partially offset by an increase in production costs.

Free cash flow^NG from mine operations of $201.5 million was recognized in 2021 compared to $150.2 million in 2020, The increase was primarily due to an increase in cash provided by mine operations, partially offset by an increase in sustaining capital expenditures^NG related to the purchase of mining equipment, TSF development costs and the tailings pumping system project. In addition, there were higher non-sustaining capital expenditures^NG related to the stage flotation reactors project in 2021.

During 2021, mining activities were carried out in phases 4, 5, 7, 8 and 9 of the open pit. Total tonnes mined were 43.6 million tonnes in 2021 compared to 41.2 million tonnes in 2020. An increase in tonnes mined was primarily due to higher step-out tonnes from more equipment availability in 2021 compared to 2020.

The Mount Milligan Mine reported record mill throughput in 2021, processing 20.9 million tonnes, averaging 57,261 tonnes per calendar day, compared to 20.1 million tonnes in 2020, averaging 54,827 tonnes per calendar day. The higher throughput was primarily due to improved processing efficiency rate and better reliability of the secondary crushing circuit in 2021 compared to 2020.

Gold production was 196,438 ounces in 2021 compared to 161,855 ounces in 2020. The increase was due to higher throughput, gold grades and recoveries. During 2021, the average gold grade was 0.46 g/t and recoveries were 66% compared to 0.41 g/t and 63% in 2020. Total copper production was 73.3 million pounds in 2021 compared to 82.8 million pounds in 2020. The decrease was primarily due to lower copper grades, partially offset by higher throughput.

Gold production costs were $683 per ounce in 2021 compared to $781 per ounce in 2020. The decrease was primarily due to an increase in gold sold, partially offset by higher milling costs as a result of higher maintenance costs, and the impact of the strengthening of the Canadian dollar. In 2021, the Company was able to minimize the impact of foreign exchange and diesel fuel cost pressures on the Mount Milligan Mine through its hedging program. In addition, the mine was able to partially insulate itself from rising inflation in Canada and COVID-19 related supply chain issues, by maintaining increased levels of supplies inventory.

Copper production costs were $1.51 per pound in 2021 compared to $1.24 per pound in 2020, primarily as a result of a decrease in copper pounds sold and higher production costs due to the reasons outlined above.

Fourth Quarter 2021 compared to Fourth Quarter 2020

Earnings from mine operations were $38.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2021, compared to $53.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2020. The decrease was primarily due to lower gold revenue as a result of both a decrease in ounces of gold sold and slightly lower average realized gold prices. The decrease was partially offset by lower production costs, primarily due to a decrease in ounces of gold sold and the weakening of the Turkish lira relative to the US dollar between the periods which offset the impact of rapidly increasing inflation starting in December 2021.

Cash provided by mine operations of $39.5 million was recognized in the fourth quarter of 2021, compared to $61.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2020. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in gold revenues and higher cash taxes paid, partially offset by a decrease in production costs.

Free cash flow^NG from mine operations of $35.3 million was recognized in the fourth quarter of 2021, compared to $46.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2020. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in cash provided by mine operations, partially offset by lower sustaining capital expenditures^NG from a decrease in capitalized stripping costs and lower non- sustaining capital expenditures^NG as the construction of the ?ks?t Mine was completed in 2020.

Mining activities in the fourth quarter of 2021 were carried out in phases 2 and 4 of the Keltepe pit and phase 2 of the G?neytepe pit. Total tonnes mined were 3.8 million tonnes in the fourth quarter of 2021 compared to 4.4 million tonnes in the fourth quarter of 2020. The decrease in tonnes mined was primarily due to higher downtime in the pit from unfavourable weather conditions, including heavy fog, poor visibility and snow.

Processing activities in the fourth quarter of 2021 were focused on the preparation, stacking and irrigation of the heap leach pad. In the fourth quarter of 2021 the ?ks?t Mine stacked 1.1 million tonnes at an average grade of 2.42 g/t, containing 82,943 ounces of gold, compared to 1.0 million tonnes stacked at an average grade of 0.78 g/t, containing 23,950 ounces of gold in the fourth quarter of 2020.

Gold production was 31,668 ounces in the fourth quarter of 2021 compared to 39,380 ounces in the fourth quarter of 2020, primarily due to the site management's decision to apply lower volume of solution to the ore tonnes stacked on the heap leach in the fourth quarter of 2021. Gold production associated with the tonnes of ore stacked but not leached in the fourth quarter of 2021 is expected to occur early in 2022 as solution is applied.

Gold production costs were $328 per ounce in the fourth quarter of 2021 compared to $350 in the fourth quarter of 2020. The decrease was primarily due to the weakening of the Turkish lira relative to the US dollar, partially offset by a decrease in ounces of gold sold.

?ks?t Mine Q4 All-in sustaining costs on a by-product basis per ounce^NG ($/oz) - https://ml.globenewswire.com/media/ddeb4bb3-d52d-4644-ad1b-e1642bc46a69/hires/?v=02242022092200

All-in sustaining costs on a by-product basis^NG were $495 per ounce in the fourth quarter of 2021 compared to $658 in the fourth quarter of 2020. The decrease was primarily due to lower production costs and lower sustaining capital expenditures from lower capitalized stripping costs, partially offset by lower ounces of gold sold.

All-in costs on a by-product basis^NG were $501 per ounce in the fourth quarter of 2021 compared to $841 in the fourth quarter of 2020. The decrease was due to lower all-in sustaining costs on a by-product basis^NG and lower non-sustaining capital expenditures as the construction of the ?ks?t Mine was completed in 2020.

Year-ended December 31, 2021 and 2020

As the ?ks?t Mine achieved commercial production on May 31, 2020, financial and operating results for the year ended December 31, 2021 may not be comparable to the results for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Earnings from mine operations were $118.1 million in 2021 compared with $135.3 million in 2020. The decrease was primarily due to an increase in production costs and depreciation, depletion and amortization expense from a longer operating period and higher number of ore tonnes stacked on the heap leach pad. The increase in production costs was also due to a lower strip ratio, resulting in lower portion of mining costs being capitalized and higher community and social spending undertaken in the first full year of commercial production. The decrease was partially offset by the weakening of the Turkish lira relative to the US dollar between periods.

Cash provided by mine operations was $131.7 million in 2021 compared with $146.1 million in 2020. The decrease was primarily due to an increase in production costs and an increase in income taxes paid, partially offset by an increase in gold revenue from higher ounces of gold sold.

Free cash flow^NG from mine operations was $111.6 million in 2021 compared with $105.2 million in 2020. The increase was primarily due to lower non-sustaining capital expenditures, as the mines construction was completed in 2020, partially offset by lower cash provided by mine operations and higher sustaining capital expenditures^NG related to the heap leach expansion, capitalized drilling costs, and ADR plant upgrades.

Processing activities in 2021 were focused on the preparation, stacking and irrigation of the heap leach pad, with 4.0 million tonnes stacked at an average grade of 1.54 g/t containing 195,990 ounces of gold compared with 3.4 million tonnes stacked in 2020 at an average grade of 1.40 g/t containing 154,948 ounces of gold.

Gold production was 111,703 ounces in 2021 compared to 106,068 ounces in 2020, primarily due to higher number of ore tonnes stacked on the heap leach pad and higher average gold grade stacked, partially offset by the site management's decision to apply lower volume of solution to the ore tonnes stacked on the heap leach in the fourth quarter of 2021.

Gold production costs were $457 per ounce in 2021 compared with $356 per ounce in 2020. The increase was primarily due to lower strip ratio, resulting in lower portion of mining costs being capitalized and higher community and social spending related to various one-off initiatives in the local community, some of which were undertaken in the first full year of commercial production. The increase was partially offset by an increase in ounces of gold sold.

All-in sustaining costs on a by-product basis^NG were $668 per ounce in 2021 compared with $523 per ounce in 2020. The increase was primarily due to higher production costs and higher sustaining capital expenditures^NG, partially offset by an increase in ounces of gold sold.

All-in costs on a by-product basis^NG were $694 per ounce in 2021 compared with $848 per ounce in 2020. The decrease was primarily due to lower non-sustaining capital expenditures as the construction of the ?ks?t Mine was completed in 2020, partially offset by higher all-in sustaining costs on a by-product basis^NG.

Molybdenum Business Unit

The Molybdenum BU includes the Langeloth Facility in Pennsylvania and two North American molybdenum mines that are currently on care and maintenance: the Thompson Creek Mine in Idaho and the 75%-owned Endako Mine in British Columbia. The Thompson Creek 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 upgrade high copper content molybdenum concentrate, purchased from third parties, into upgraded products which are then sold in the metallurgical and chemical markets.

Fourth Quarter 2021 compared to Fourth Quarter 2020

Loss from mine operations of $1.2 million was recognized in the fourth quarter of 2021 compared to a loss of $1.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2020. The decrease in loss from mine operations was primarily due to increased sales margin from rising molybdenum prices and the effect of various cost control measures.

Cash used in operations of $15.8 million was recognized in the fourth quarter of 2021, compared to $3.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2020. The increase in cash used in operations is primarily due to an unfavourable working capital change from an increase in product inventory and as a result of the higher average molybdenum prices paid to obtain that inventory.

Free cash flow deficit from operations^NG of $17.2 million was recognized in the fourth quarter of 2021, compared to $6.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2020. The increased deficit was primarily due to lower cash provided by operations.

Reclamation expense was $24.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2021 compared to $9.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2020. The increase in expense was primarily due to a decline in the estimated discount rates applied to the underlying future reclamation costs and an increase in estimated future reclamation cash flows impacted by various factors, including higher inflation.

Year-ended December 31, 2021 compared to 2020

Earnings from mine operations of $8.7 million were recognized in 2021 compared to a loss from mine operations of $20.9 million in 2020. The increase was primarily due to the increased sales margin from rising molybdenum prices and a non- cash write-down related to product inventory recorded in 2020 of $13.6 million.

Cash used by operations was $37.3 million in 2021 compared to cash provided by operations of $11.4 million in 2020. The decline was primarily due to an unfavourable working capital change related to product inventory purchases at higher average molybdenum prices and a $22.8 million non-recurring tax refund received in 2020.

Free cash flow deficit from operations^NG of $39.8 million was recognized in 2021 compared to $5.6 million in 2020, primarily due to lower cash provided by operations, as described above.

Discontinued Operations

Kumtor Mine

As a result of the events described in the Recent Events and Developments section, the Kumtor Mine was reclassified as a discontinued operation in the second quarter of 2021. Consequently, the Company is only presenting 2021 financial and operating results pertaining to the period up to the date that the loss of control occurred. Therefore, the results may not be comparable between reporting periods.

Sale of Interest in Greenstone Partnership

On January 19, 2021, the Company completed the sale of its 50% interest in the Greenstone Partnership with final cash consideration received of $210.0 million, net of adjustments, and recognized an initial gain on sale of $72.3 million (excluding any contingent consideration). Pursuant to an agreement dated December 15, 2020, with Orion and Premier Gold Mines Ltd., the Company was entitled to received further contingent consideration, payable upon making a construction decision and upon achieving certain production milestones.

In the fourth quarter of 2021, the Greenstone project was approved for construction and thus the initial contingency payment of $25.0 million became receivable and owing from Orion, payable no later than December 2023. As a result, the Company recognized an additional gain on the sale of its interest in Greenstone Partnership of $25.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2021.

The remaining contingent payments are payable no later than 30 days following the date on which a cumulative production milestone of (i) 250,000 ounces; (ii) 500,000 ounces; and, (iii) 750,000 ounces have been achieved. The amounts are payable in US dollars, equal to the product of 11,111 and the 20-day average gold market price on the business day immediately prior to the date of the payment.

Accounting Estimates, Policies and Changes

Accounting Estimates

The preparation of the Company's consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.

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 might have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying value of assets and liabilities and (loss) earnings are outlined in Note 4 of the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021.

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 2021 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 2021.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company asked all of its corporate office staff and many site administrative staff at regional, mine site and exploration offices to work from home. Most of these offices were subsequently re- opened, under new hygiene and physical distancing protocols; however, employees whose work does not require physical presence in the office can continue to work remotely. This change requires certain processes and controls that were previously done or documented manually to be completed and retained in electronic form. The Company continues to monitor whether remote work arrangements have adversely affected the Company's ability to maintain internal controls over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures. Despite the changes required by the current environment, there have been no significant changes in the Company's internal controls during the year ended December 31, 2021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, internal control over financial reporting.

Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures

This MD&A 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 expenditures a company has to make to fully develop its properties. The specified financial measures used in this MD&A 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

As a result of the seizure of the Kumtor Mine by the Kyrgyz Republic on May 15, 2021 and the loss of control of the mine, the Company presented the results from the Kumtor Mine as a discontinued operation, separate from the Company's continuing operations. Consequently, the following non-GAAP financial measures were added in this MD&A: adjusted net earnings from continuing operations; free cash flow from continuing operations and adjusted free cash flow from continuing operations, and the following non-GAAP ratio was added in this MD&A: adjusted net earnings from continuing operations per common share (basic and diluted). These measures are calculated in a similar fashion as the equivalent non-GAAP financial measures and ratios presented on a total basis, inclusive of both continuing operations and discontinued operations.

The following is a description of the non-GAAP financial measures, non-GAAP ratios and supplementary financial measures used in this MD&A:

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 (loss) earnings, refining and transport costs, 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 hedging by-product sales revenue (added in the current year and applied retrospectively to the previous year). 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. All-in sustaining costs on a by-product basis for the Kumtor Mine excludes revenue-based taxes. 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 fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2021, 375 pounds and 452 pounds, respectively, of copper were equivalent to one ounce of gold. All-in sustaining costs on a co-product basis for the Kumtor Mine excludes revenue-based taxes. 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.
All-in costs on a by-product basis per ounce is a non-GAAP ratio calculated as all-in costs on a by-product basis divided by ounces sold. All-in costs on a by-product basis is a non-GAAP financial measure which includes all- in sustaining costs on a by-product basis. exploration and study costs, non-sustaining capital expenditures, care and maintenance and predevelopment costs. All-in costs on a by-product basis per ounce for the Kumtor Mine include revenue-based taxes. A reconciliation of all-in costs on a by-product basis to the nearest IFRS measures is set out below. Management uses these measures to monitor the cost management effectiveness of each of its operating mines.
Adjusted net earnings is a non-GAAP financial measure calculated by adjusting net (loss) earnings as recorded in the consolidated statements of (loss) income and comprehensive (loss) income for items not associated with ongoing operations. The Company believes that this generally accepted industry measure allows the evaluation of the results of continuing 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 net earnings from continuing operations is a non-GAAP financial measure calculated by adjusting net (loss) earnings from continuing operations as recorded in the consolidated statements of (loss) earnings and comprehensive (loss) income for items not associated with continuing operations. This measure adjusts for the impact of items not associated with continuing operations. A reconciliation of adjusted net earnings from continuing operations to the nearest IFRS measures is set out below. Management uses this measure to monitor and plan for the operating performance of continuing operations of the Company in conjunction with other data prepared in accordance with IFRS.
Free cash flow from continuing operations 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 from continuing operations 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.
Free cash flow from mine operations is a non-GAAP financial measure calculated as cash provided by mine operations less property, plant and equipment additions. A reconciliation of free cash flow from mine operations to the nearest IFRS measures is set out below. Management uses this measure to monitor the degree of self- funding of each of its operating mines and facilities.
Free cash flow from discontinued operations is a non-GAAP financial measure calculated as cash provided by operating activities from discontinued operations less property, plant and equipment additions associated with discontinued operations. A reconciliation of free cash flow from discontinued operations to the nearest IFRS measures is set out below.
Adjusted free cash flow from operations is a non-GAAP financial measure calculated as free cash flow adjusted for items not associated with ongoing operations. A reconciliation of adjusted free cash flow from operations to the nearest IFRS measures is set out below. Management uses this measure to monitor the amount of cash from ongoing operations available to reinvest in the Company and allocate for shareholder returns.
Average realized gold price is a supplementary financial measure 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. Management uses this measure to monitor its sales of gold ounces against the average market gold price.
Average realized copper price is a supplementary financial measure 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. Management uses this measure to monitor its sales of gold ounces against the average market copper price.
Total liquidity is a supplementary financial measure calculated as cash and cash equivalents and amount available under the corporate credit facility. Management uses this measure to determine if the Company can meet all of its commitments, execute on the business plan, and to mitigate the risk of economic downturns.

Certain unit costs, including all-in sustaining costs on a by-product basis (including and excluding revenue-based taxes) per ounce, are non-GAAP ratios which include as a component certain non-GAAP financial measures including all-in sustaining costs on a by-product basis which can be reconciled as follows:

Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources

The Company released the results of the updated mineral reserve and mineral resource estimates for the Mount Milligan Mine, the ?ks?t Mine, and the Kemess Property as of December 31, 2021. The 2021 mineral reserves and resources estimate excludes the Greenstone project which was divested on January 19, 2021 as well the Kumtor Mine. The Kyrgyz Republic seized the Kumtor Mine on May 15, 2021 and the Company concluded that it had lost control of the Kumtor Mine. Therefore, the mineral reserves and mineral resources as at December 31, 2021 do not include the Kumtor Mine.

Mount Milligan's mineral reserves and mineral resources are presented on a 100% basis. Sales of gold and copper from the Mount Milligan Mine are subject to the Mount Milligan Streaming Arrangement whereby Royal Gold is entitled to 35% and 18.75% of gold and copper sales respectively. Under this streaming arrangement, Royal Gold pays Centerra $435 per ounce of gold delivered and 15% of the spot price per metric tonne of copper delivered.

Supplementary Information: Fourth Quarter 2021 Exploration Update

Mount Milligan Mine

The 2021 diamond drilling program at the Mount Milligan Mine totalled 39,505 metres in 68 drill holes (13,914 metres in 27 exploration drill holes) and 25,591 metres in 41 resource expansion drill holes). Primary brownfield exploration targets included zones below the current ultimate open-pit boundary, i.e., MBX Deep and WBX Deep, and on the eastern margin of the open-pit, i.e., Great Eastern Fault ("GEF") zone, where positive drilling results were returned in 2019 and 2020.

Mount Milligan Brownfield Drilling and Exploration

Exploration and resource expansion drilling continued in the fourth quarter of 2021 with the completion of 22 diamond drill holes totalling 15,445 metres. Fifteen drill holes, totalling 10,024 metres, were completed in the MBX and WBX Deep zones resource expansion/exploration targets below the current ultimate open-pit boundary in the central portion of the deposit. Three drill holes, totalling 2,568 metres, were completed in the DWBX zone planned for resource expansion on the western pit wall. Four drill holes, totalling 2,853 metres, were completed in the GEF zone, testing for both shallow mineralization associated with the GEF, and deeper porphyry mineralization associated with the underlying Great Eastern stock.

Complete or partial assay results were returned for 22 drill holes, including results from 8 holes drilled in the third quarter of 2021 and 14 holes drilled in the fourth quarter of 2021. These include potential significant mineralization from below the ultimate open-pit boundary in the MBX and WBX Deep zones, and along the western margin of the open-pit in the DWBX zone.

Selected significant intersections are reported below:

Assay results returned from the MBX Deep zone during the fourth quarter of 2021 show wide intercepts of potentially significant mineralization below the ultimate open-pit boundary. Porphyry-style mineralization is associated with potassic altered latite-andesite units in the footwall of the MBX monzonite porphyry stock. All lithologies are variably crosscut by early, transitional, and late-stage veins. To date, the tested dimensions of the MBX Deep zone are approximately 200 metres (north-northeast to south-southwest) by 140 metres (east to west) with an average width of 110 metres, for significant intervals, and potential to expand to the south and to the east. A second series of fault-bound monzonite porphyry intrusions with potassic alteration ? mineralized early veins have been drilled at depth underlying the ultimate pit boundary and the MBX stock by approximately 400 metres to 600 metres.

Assay results returned from the DWBX zone during the fourth quarter show wide intercepts of porphyry-style mineralization along the western margins of the ultimate pit boundary, with narrow intercepts of vein associated high gold-low copper mineralization. Porphyry-style mineralization is associated with potassic alteration and early quartz veins within the DWBX composite stock and the stock margins. A moderately west-dipping hydrothermal breccia body has been identified at shallow depth in host volcanic rocks in the northern part of the DWBX zone. This feature is believed to be associated with emplacement of porphyry stocks and remains to be tested down-dip to the west and into the Goldmark stock footwall volcanic rocks. Results returned from the DWBX zone in 2021 show potential for resource expansion to the west of the current ultimate pit boundary.

The above mineralized intercepts were calculated using a cut-off grade of 0.1 g/t Au or 0.1% Cu and a maximum internal dilution interval of 4.0 metres. Significant assay intervals reported represent apparent widths due to the undefined geometry of mineralization in this zone, relationship between fault blocks, and conceptual nature of the exploration target.

?ks?t Mine

During the fourth quarter of 2021, 55 drill holes totalling 12,812 metres were completed before the end of the 2021 diamond drilling campaign in November. In the fourth quarter of 2021, the drilling program mainly focused on developing the Keltepe North ("Keltepe N") and Keltepe Northwest ("Keltepe NW") oxide gold satellite resources and targeting geochemical gold and geophysical anomalism at the B?y?ktepe, Yelibelen and Boztepe prospects. In addition to these areas, the drilling in the fourth quarter confirmed the discovery of a new mineralized zone, Keltepe North- Northwest ("Keltepe NNW"), which has the potential to be another satellite deposit.

A total of 31,525 metres in 159 drill holes were completed in the 2021 drilling program. The 2021 drilling program contributed to increased resource expansion and development around the known deposits (Keltepe, G?neytepe, Keltepe N and Keltepe NW). The oxide gold mineralization that has been delineated at Keltepe N, Keltepe NW and now at Keltepe NNW requires additional infill drilling, which will commence in the first quarter of 2022.

All the outstanding core samples were dispatched to the assay laboratory by the end of the year. As the priority was given to the analysis of samples from Keltepe N, Keltepe NW, and Keltepe NNW, most of the assay results from B?y?ktepe, Yelibelen and Boztepe prospects are still pending. Significant mineralized intercepts were received from Keltepe N, Keltepe NW and Keltepe NNW. Selected significant intersections are reported below:

Keltepe North (resource expansion oxide gold)

ODD0574	55.0 metres @ 0.93 g/t Au from 126.4 metres including 6.0 metres @ 3.32 g/t Au from 147.2 metres
ODD0591	16.7 metres @ 1.20 g/t Au from 15.7 metres including 13.0 metres @ 1.4 g/t Au from 15.7 metres
ODD0614	42.3 metres @ 1.21 g/t Au from 26.7 metres including 13.5 metres @ 2.37 g/t Au from 27.5 metres
ODD0616	37.3 metres @ 0.53 g/t Au from 11.4 metres including 5.0 metres @ 1.14 g/t Au from 22.0 metres

Keltepe North-West (resource expansion oxide gold)

ODD0596	33.0 metres @ 0.48 g/t Au from 65.7 metres
ODD0620	36.0 metres @ 0.87 g/t Au from 10.7 metres including 23.8 metres @ 1.18 g/t Au from 21.8 metres
ODD0622	19.3 metres @ 0.3 g/t Au from 22.9 metres

Keltepe North-Northwest (oxide gold)

ODD0593	68.9 metres @ 0.41 g/t Au from 18.6 metres
ODD0612	91.7 metres @ 0.33 g/t Au from 62.5 metres

The above mineralized intercepts were calculated using a cut-off grade of 0.2 g/t Au and a maximum internal dilution interval of 5.0 metres. The true widths of the mineralized intervals reported represent approximately 60% to 90% of the stated downhole interval. Drill collar locations and associated graphics are available at the following link: https://ml.globenewswire.com/media/63702a77-3ee8-4dac-b4c3-ccff21f3d4a7/document/?v=02242022094200

Other Projects Turkey

Sivritepe Project

The 2021 diamond drilling program was completed with a further 20 drill holes being drilled in the fourth quarter for a total of 4,662 metres. A total of 15,459 metres in 62 drill holes were completed in 2021. Drilling mainly targeted gold-in- soil geochemical anomalism and succeeded in identifying multiple mineralized zones. Drilling at the two major prospects, Sivritepe West and Sivritepe East, was specifically designed to be able to define potential gold resources. The drilling data received to date indicates that the identified mineralized zones are still open along strike and at depth and need to be targeted by infill and step-out drilling in the 2022 drilling season.

In the fourth quarter of 2021, drilling was focused on the Sivritepe West Prospect, where the extent of the east-west trending gold mineralized zone was outlined at surface by a nearly one km long gold-in-soil geochemical anomaly. It is interpreted that gold mineralization is related to the contact between magmatic-hydrothermal breccias and trachy- andesitic intrusive rocks. All the drill holes returned anomalous oxide and/or sulfide gold mineralized intervals.

Selected significant intersections are reported below:

Sivritepe West (oxide gold)

STW0026	12.5 metres @ 0.56 g/t Au from 8.0 metres including 3.5 metres @ 1.47 g/t Au from 13.6 metres
STW0027	35.0 metres @ 0.40 g/t Au from the surface
STW0028	22.0 metres @ 0.47 g/t Au from 47.0 metres including 4 metres @ 1.67 g/t Au from 64 metres
STW0040	48.0 metres @ 0.30 g/t Au from 37.0 metres including 6.9 metres @ 1.4 g/t Au from 46.0 metres

Sivritepe West (sulfide gold)

STW0022	51.1 metres @ 0.41 g/t Au from 137.0 metres including 6.0 metres @ 1.53 g/t Au from 148.0 metres
STW0024	26.6 metres @ 0.60 g/t Au from 247.0 metres including 5.6 metres @ 1.39 g/t Au from 248.0 metres
STW0039	16.7 metres @ 2.34 g/t Au from 199.3 metres including 10.0 metres @ 3.8 g/t Au from 205.0 metres

The above mineralized intercepts were calculated using a cut-off grade of 0.1 g/t Au and a maximum internal dilution interval of 5.0 metres. The true widths of the mineralized intervals reported represent approximately 30%-85% of the stated downhole interval and averages around 60%.

2XFred Project

The Two Times Fred ("2XFred") project, located in the Nechako Plateau of Central British Columbia, is an earn-in project under option from Kootenay Resources Inc.

The 2021 Phase-2 diamond drilling program began late in the third quarter and was completed in the fourth quarter of 2021. The entire Phase-2 program comprised 4,704 metres of drilling in 15 drill holes. In the fourth quarter of 2021, there were 3,842 metres drilled in 12 drill holes. Drilling tested geophysical anomalies and areas with coincident near- surface kaolinite clay alteration for low-sulfidation epithermal gold-silver vein mineralization over a strike distance of 2.4 kilometres. Five target zones were tested, including Borrow Pit, Saki, Shinju, Western and Gold Hill zones. As of the end of the quarter, all final assay results are pending.

Additional exploration activities in the fourth quarter included the completion of a controlled-source audiofrequency magnetotellurics survey (CSAMT; 26.6 line-kilometres), a tensor AMT survey (four line-kilometres), an induced polarization survey (1.8 line-kilometres), and a ground magnetic survey (33 line-kilometres).
