See “Risk Factors” in the MD&A dated February 24, 2016 and in the Company’s most recently filed Annual Information Form available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
Furthermore, market price fluctuations in gold, as well as increased capital or production costs or reduced recovery rates may render mineral reserves containing lower grades of mineralization uneconomic and mayultimately result in a restatement of reserves. The extent to which resources may ultimately be reclassified as proven or probable reserves is dependent upon the demonstration of their profitable recovery. Economic andtechnological factors which may change over time always influence the evaluation of reserves or resources. Centerra has not adjusted mineral resource figures in consideration of these risks and, therefore, Centerra cangive no assurances that any mineral resource estimate will ultimately be reclassified as proven and probable reserves. There can be no assurances that forward-looking information and statements will prove to beaccurate, as many factors and future events, both known and unknown could cause actual results, performance or achievements to vary or differ materially, from the results, performance or achievements that are or maybe expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements contained herein or incorporated by reference. Accordingly, all such factors should be considered carefully when making decisions with respect to Centerra, andprospective investors should not place undue reliance on forward looking information. Forward-looking information is as of February 29, 2016. Centerra assumes no obligation to update or revise forward looking informationto reflect changes in assumptions, changes in circumstances or any other events affecting such forward-looking information, except as required by applicable law. Except as otherwise noted herein, Gordon Reid,Professional Engineer and Centerra’s Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, has reviewed and approved the scientific and technical information contained in this presentation. Mr. Reid is a Qualified Person within themeaning of NI 43-101. For more information, please refer to the Company’s 2014 AIF and the technical reports referenced therein, which are available on SEDAR.

(1) Adjusted operating costs, all-in sustaining costs (AISC), all-in costs and all-in costs - including taxes as well as sustaining capital, growth capital, average realized gold price per ounce and cost of sales per ounce sold are non-GAAP measures and are discussed under “Non-GAAP Measures” in the Company’s MD&A filed on SEDAR.
(2) As of December 31, 2015.(3) According to Thomson Reuters as of February 18, 2016.(4) As of February 17, 2016 according to Thomson Reuters, Scotiabank GBM.(5) The mineral reserves at Kumtor have been estimated based on a gold price of $1,200 per ounce, as at December 31, 2015. The open pit
reserves and resources at Kumtor are estimated based on a cut-off grade of 0.85 grams of gold per tonne for the Central Pit and 1.0 grams of gold per tonne for the Southwest and Sarytor deposits. Open Pit resources at Kumtor are constrained by a pit shell developed using a gold price of $1,450 per ounce. Mineral resources are in addition to reserves. Mineral resources do not have demonstrated economic viability.

Mineral resources do not have demonstrated economic viability.(3) Centerra’s equity interests as of this news release are: Kumtor 100%, Gatsuurt 100%, Boroo 100%, Ulaan Bulag 100%, ATO 100%, and Öksüt 100%.(4) Open pit resources at Kumtor are constrained by a pit shell developed using a gold price of $1,450 per ounce.(5) The open pit reserves and resources at Kumtor are estimated based on a cut-off grade of 0.85 grams of gold per tonne for the Central Pit and 1.0
grams of gold per tonne for the Southwest and Sarytor deposits. Underground resources occur below the open pit resources shell and are estimated based on a cut-off grade of 6.0 grams of gold per tonne. Further information concerning the Kumtor deposit, including key assumptions, parameters and methods used to estimate mineral resources and reserves, as well as, political, environmental and other risks are described in Centerra’s most recently filed Annual Information Form and the Technical Report on the Kumtor Project, dated March 20, 2015 each of which has been filed on SEDAR.
(6) The open pit resources at Boroo are estimated as all material below the pit above a 0.5 grams of gold per tonne cut-off grade.(7) The open pit reserves and resources at Gatsuurt are estimated using a 1.4 grams of gold per tonne cut-off grade. Resources are estimated as all
material below the reserve pit above the 1.4 grams per tonne cutoff grade. Further information concerning the Gatsuurt deposit, including key assumptions, parameters and methods used to estimate mineral resources and reserves, as well as, political, environmental and other risks are described in Centerra’s most recently filed Annual Information Form and the Technical Report on the Gatsuurt Project, dated May 9, 2006 each of which has been filed on SEDAR.
(8) The open pit resources at Ulaan Bulag are estimated on a cut-off grade of 0.8, 0.9 or 1.0 grams of gold per tonne depending on ore type and process method.
(9) The ATO open pit resources are estimated based on a Net Smelter Return (NSR) cut-off grade of $6.50 NSR per tonne for oxide mineralization and $25.50 NSR per tonne for sulphide mineralization
(10) The open pit reserves at Öksüt are estimated based on a 0.3 grams of gold per tonne cut-off grade. Open pit resources are constrained by a pit shell developed using a gold price of $1,450 per ounce and are estimated based on a 0.2 grams of gold per tonne cut-off grade.

(11) A conversion factor of 31.10348 grams per ounce of gold is used in the reserve and resource estimates. (12) Numbers may not add up due to rounding.(13) Inferred mineral resources have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence and as to whether they can be mined economically. It cannot be
assumed that all or part of the inferred resources will ever be converted to a higher category.
