How this balance works

Rhea-AI gives every point it takes from this document a weight. Minor counts 1, Moderate 3 and Major 9, so one Major point outweighs several Minor ones. The bar adds up the weights on each side, and when neither side holds more than 65% of the total the balance reads Mixed.

It reads the document as published, with the same rules for every company, and it does not look at what the market expected or at how the stock traded, so a point can be objectively good on a day the stock falls.

Rhea-AI Sentiment measures something else, the tone of the wording.

4 terms

all-in sustaining costs financial

"all-in sustaining costs (“AISC”) on a by-product basis"

All-in sustaining costs (AISC) is a per-unit measure used mainly in the mining sector that captures the full ongoing cost to produce a unit of metal, including operating expenses, sustaining capital (maintenance of current operations), and a share of corporate overhead and site-level costs. Investors use AISC to judge whether production generates real profit and sustainable cash flow—think of it as the total monthly household cost to keep a home running, not just the utility bill.

normal course issuer bid regulatory

"Under Centerra’s normal course issuer bid (“NCIB”) program"

A Normal Course Issuer Bid is when a company buys back its own shares from the stock market over time. This usually shows that the company believes its stock is undervalued and wants to support its price, which can be important for investors to watch.

non-gaap financial

"Non-GAAP financial measure"

Non-GAAP refers to financial measures that companies use to show their earnings or performance without including certain expenses or income that are often added back to give a different picture. It matters because it can make a company's results look better or more favorable, but it may also hide important costs, so investors need to look at both GAAP (official rules) and non-GAAP numbers to get a full understanding.

View in glossary

tailings storage facility technical

"construction at the existing tailings storage facility (“TSF”)"

A tailings storage facility is a managed site—often a lined pond or engineered dam—where mining companies store the wet waste left after extracting minerals. Investors care because these sites carry long-term risks and costs (environmental damage, spills, regulatory fines, cleanup and closure liabilities) that can quickly reduce a mine’s value, halt production or trigger costly remediation, much like a leaking landfill can suddenly force unexpected expenses and legal trouble.

TORONTO, Oct. 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Centerra Gold Inc. (“Centerra” or the “Company”) (TSX: CG and NYSE: CGAU) today reported its third quarter 2026 operating and financial results.

President and CEO, Paul Tomory, commented, “This quarter’s results reflect consistent execution at our operations. Mount Milligan delivered a fourth consecutive quarter on plan and remains on track to achieve its 2026 production guidance. Strong copper by-product credits have enabled us to lower Mount Milligan’s full-year guidance for all-in sustaining costs on a by-product basis^NG, while Öksüt continues to track in line with its previously increased full-year production guidance and original cost guidance ranges. We are pleased with our cost performance in the quarter and year-to-date, particularly in an environment of continued industry cost pressures. During the quarter, we also achieved a record level of share repurchases, reinforcing our commitment to returning capital to shareholders and our disciplined approach to capital allocation.”

Paul Tomory continued, “Our growth pipeline is moving closer to several important milestones. At Thompson Creek, we remain on track for first molybdenum production in mid-2027, less than one year away and in a constructive price environment, and we expect to deliver the restart project within our capital cost estimate. Development work at Goldfield continues to advance well with critical long-lead items procured and site establishment activities now underway, and the Kemess Pre-Feasibility Study is progressing towards completion in mid-2027. At Öksüt, work on our Life of Mine Optimization study is well underway with results expected in early 2027 alongside our year-end disclosures. We remain confident in Centerra’s long-term outlook, with a continued focus on operational execution and the advancement of our self-funded North American growth strategy to deliver long-term value for shareholders.”

(2)	The Mount Milligan Mine is subject to an arrangement with Royal Gold which entitles Royal Gold to purchase 35% and 18.75% of gold and copper produced, respectively, and requires Royal Gold to pay $435 per ounce of gold and 15% of the spot price per metric tonne of copper delivered (“Mount Milligan Mine Streaming Agreement”). Using assumed market prices of $4,250 per ounce of gold and $6.25 per pound of copper for 2026, the Mount Milligan Mine’s average realized gold and copper prices for 2026 would be $2,915 per ounce and $5.25 per pound, respectively, compared to average realized prices of $2,608 per ounce and $3.96 per pound in 2025, when factoring in the Mount Milligan Streaming Agreement and concentrate refining and treatment costs.
(3)	Gold production for 2026 at the Mount Milligan Mine assumes estimated recoveries of 60% to 62% and compares to actual gold recovery of 60.3% achieved in the nine months ended September 30, 2026. Copper production for 2026 assumes recovery of 75% to 77% for copper and compares to actual copper recovery of 74.2% achieved in the nine months ended September 30, 2026.
(4)	Unit costs include a credit for forecasted copper sales treated as by-product for all-in sustaining costsNG. Production for copper and gold reflects estimated metallurgical losses resulting from handling of the concentrate and metal deductions levied by smelters.

Mount Milligan

Mount Milligan produced 44,070 ounces of gold in the third quarter of 2026, a 15% increase compared to the previous quarter and consistent with the production profile previously outlined. Copper production in the quarter was 12.8 million pounds, largely in line with the previous quarter, reflecting planned mine sequencing. Year-to-date gold and copper production remains aligned with the September 2025 Pre-Feasibility Study (“PFS”) mine plan and the Company remains on track to achieve its 2026 production guidance of 140,000 to 155,000 ounces of gold and 50 to 60 million pounds of copper. During the quarter, a total of 12.3 million tonnes were mined from phases 5, 6, 7 and North Borrow of the open pit. Process plant throughput was 5.6 million tonnes, averaging 60,388 tonnes per day. Gold sales were 43,005 ounces and copper sales were 13.2 million pounds.

Gold production costs in the third quarter 2026 were $1,392 per ounce. AISC on a by-product basis^NG was $985 per ounce, 22% lower quarter-over-quarter as a result of stronger gold production and sales and copper by-product credits. The Company reaffirms its 2026 gold production cost guidance of $1,450 to $1,550 per ounce at Mount Milligan, while strong year-to-date copper by-product credits have enabled the Company to lower its full-year AISC on a by-product basis^NG guidance from $1,200 to $1,300 per ounce to $1,100 to $1,200 per ounce.

Sustaining capital expenditures^NG at Mount Milligan in the third quarter of 2026 were $22.4 million, focused on the existing TSF dam construction, equipment replacements, and mill maintenance. Non-sustaining capital expenditures^NG in the third quarter of 2026 were $11.3 million related to TSF buttress foundation preparation and equipment purchases. The Company remains on track to achieve its 2026 sustaining and non-sustaining capital expenditures^NG guidance at Mount Milligan of $80 to $90 million and $35 to $45 million, respectively.

In the third quarter of 2026, Mount Milligan generated $106.8 million of cash flow from mine operations and free cash flow^NG of $62.8 million.

The PFS extended Mount Milligan’s mine life to 2045, supported by an optimized mine plan, and outlined a fully funded growth capital program designed to support long-term production and cash flow. The study also supports a planned 10% increase in plant throughput beginning in 2028, enhancing production over the life of the operation. Mount Milligan remains Centerra’s cornerstone asset, with 20 years of mine life, meaningful gold and copper production, and significant future exploration potential in British Columbia.

Öksüt

Öksüt produced 31,359 ounces of gold in the third quarter of 2026, driven by higher grades and enhanced operating practices and solution management. The Company remains on track to achieve its previously increased 2026 Öksüt gold production guidance of between 120,000 to 135,000 ounces. During the quarter, mining activities were focused on phase 5 and phase 6 of the Keltepe pit. A total of 5.0 million tonnes of ore and waste were mined in the quarter and 1.5 million tonnes were stacked at an average grade of 0.85 g/t.

At Öksüt, gold production costs and AISC on a by-product basis^NG for the third quarter 2026 were $1,659 per ounce and $1,893 per ounce, respectively. AISC on a by-product basis^NG improved compared to last quarter driven by lower royalty expense per ounce due to lower gold prices. The Company reaffirms Öksüt’s 2026 AISC on a by-product basis^NG guidance range of $1,850 and $1,950 per ounce.

In the third quarter 2026, sustaining capital expenditures^NG at Öksüt were $2.5 million. The Company reaffirms its 2026 guidance for sustaining capital expenditures^NG of $5 to $15 million at Öksüt.

Öksüt delivered cash flow from mine operations of $68.3 million and free cash flow^NG of $65.8 million in the third quarter of 2026.

In June 2026, the Turkish Government announced changes that are expected to reduce the corporate income tax rate for Öksüt from 25% to 12.5%, effective January 1, 2027. This change in tax rate is expected to enhance Öksüt’s long-term cash flow generation and overall value.

Centerra continues work on a Life of Mine Optimization study at Öksüt to evaluate the asset’s full potential, including the incremental production potential of residual leaching of the heap leach facility and the inclusion of low-grade oxide mineralization outside of the current reserve pit into the mine plan. The study will explore options to increase gold recovery from existing leach pads through improved solution management and enhanced operating practices. Expected in early 2027 with the Company’s year-end disclosures, the study will also support updates to the mine’s long-term reclamation and site management plan to maximize metal recovery in a safe and responsible manner.

US Moly

US Moly generated $2.9 million of cash flow from operations and recorded a free cash flow deficit^NG of $53.5 million, in the third quarter of 2026, reflecting capital spending on the restart of Thompson Creek.

Thompson Creek Mine

The restart of Thompson Creek continues to advance as planned, with approximately 65% of the infrastructure refurbishment complete. During the third quarter of 2026, the Thompson Creek restart progressed with most long-lead equipment packages shipped, installation of approximately two-thirds of the flotation tanks and agitators completed, and refurbishment of key mill equipment and electrical work advancing. Tailings work in the quarter included substantial completion of the toe berm and related pipeline installation, while pre-commissioning and operational readiness activities advanced through legacy system testing, training planning and development of operating procedures. In October 2026, the final electrical equipment required for the mill refurbishment was delivered to site.

In the third quarter of 2026, non-sustaining capital expenditures^NG were $81.2 million. Since the restart decision in September 2024, non-sustaining capital expenditures^NG have totalled $337.3 million. The Company expects the 2026 non-sustaining capital expenditures^NG for Thompson Creek to be within the previously disclosed guidance range of $190 to $220 million.

The project remains in line with the total capital estimate of $425 to $450 million and is on track for first production in mid-2027.

Langeloth Metallurgical Facility

In the third quarter of 2026, Langeloth roasted 2.8 million pounds and sold 4.6 million pounds of molybdenum, recorded adjusted EBITDA^NG of $16.5 million, and generated $2.9 million of cash flow from operations, supported by increased molybdenum sales volumes and stronger margins. Higher margins reflected strong market prices and a lower weighted average cost per pound, benefiting from inventory accumulated at lower market prices in prior periods.

As a result of increasing molybdenum prices, Langeloth delivered strong adjusted EBITDA^NG in the third quarter, supporting an increase in the Company’s full-year adjusted EBITDA^NG guidance to $17 to $22 million, up from $7 to $12 million previously.

Goldfield Project

Goldfield achieved an important permitting milestone in the third quarter of 2026, with all major permits now in place for the Gemfield deposit, which accounts for approximately 80% of the life of mine production. Development activities also advanced during the quarter, including detailed engineering, long-lead equipment procurement and initial earthworks for stormwater diversion channels, overburden stockpiling and borrow material excavation. Further construction and site preparation activities are planned for the remainder of 2026. Non-sustaining capital expenditures^NG at Goldfield in the third quarter of 2026 were $29.9 million. The Company is on track for Goldfield’s updated 2026 non-sustaining capital expenditures^NG guidance of $60 to $70 million, which reflects the acceleration of a number of site preparation activities into 2026 to support project execution, reduce execution risk and secure 2026 pricing. Centerra continues to identify and evaluate opportunities to bring forward capital expenditures to further reduce execution risk and potentially advance the construction schedule. The overall project capital cost estimate remains consistent with the August 2025 technical study.

Goldfield is expected to become the Company’s next gold-producing operation, with first production targeted by the end of 2028, supporting Centerra’s self-funded growth strategy and future production profile.

Kemess Project

In January 2026, Centerra published a Preliminary Economic Assessment (“PEA”) for the Kemess project in British Columbia, demonstrating strong project economics, including an after-tax net present value (5%) (“NPV_5%”) of approximately $1.1 billion, using long-term pricing of $3,000 per ounce of gold and $4.50 per pound of copper. Kemess has the potential to become Centerra’s second long-life gold-copper asset in British Columbia and remains unencumbered by gold or copper streams, providing greater exposure to future metal prices.

The Company continues to advance the Kemess PFS, which remains on track for completion in mid-2027, and is evaluating opportunities to advance early works to reduce project execution risk.

Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures

This document contains “specified financial measures” within the meaning of NI 52-112, specifically the non-GAAP financial measures, non-GAAP ratios and supplementary financial measures described below. Management believes that the use of these measures assists analysts, investors and other stakeholders of the Company in understanding the costs associated with producing gold and copper, understanding the economics of gold and copper mining, assessing operating performance, the Company’s ability to generate free cash flow from current operations and on an overall Company basis, and planning and forecasting for future periods. However, the measures have limitations as analytical tools as they may be influenced by the point in the life cycle of a specific mine and the level of additional exploration or other expenditures a company has to make to fully develop its properties. The specified financial measures used in this document do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers, even as compared to other issuers who may be applying the World Gold Council (“WGC”) guidelines. Accordingly, these specified financial measures should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for, analysis of the Company’s recognized measures presented in accordance with IFRS.

Definitions

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

• All-in sustaining costs on a by-product basis per ounce is a non-GAAP ratio calculated as all-in sustaining costs on a by-product basis divided by ounces of gold sold. All-in sustaining costs on a by-product basis is a non-GAAP financial measure calculated as the aggregate of production costs as recorded in the consolidated statements of earnings, refining and transport costs, the cash component of capitalized stripping and sustaining capital expenditures, lease payments related to sustaining assets, corporate general and administrative expenses, accretion expenses, asset retirement depletion expenses, copper and silver revenue and the associated impact of hedges of by-product sales revenue. When calculating all-in sustaining costs on a by-product basis, all revenue received from the sale of copper from the Mount Milligan Mine, as reduced by the effect of the copper stream, is treated as a reduction of costs incurred. A reconciliation of all-in sustaining costs on a by-product basis to the nearest IFRS measure is set out below. Management uses these measures to monitor the cost management effectiveness of each of its operating mines.
• All-in sustaining costs on a co-product basis per ounce of gold or per pound of copper, is a non-GAAP ratio calculated as all-in sustaining costs on a co-product basis divided by ounces of gold or pounds of copper sold, as applicable. All-in sustaining costs on a co-product basis is a non-GAAP financial measure based on an allocation of production costs between copper and gold based on the conversion of copper production to equivalent ounces of gold. The Company uses a conversion ratio for calculating gold equivalent ounces for its copper sales calculated by multiplying the copper pounds sold by estimated average realized copper price and dividing the resulting figure by estimated average realized gold price. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, 520 and 593 pounds of copper were equivalent to one ounce of gold. A reconciliation of all-in sustaining costs on a co-product basis to the nearest IFRS measure is set out below. Management uses these measures to monitor the cost management effectiveness of each of its operating mines.
• Sustaining capital expenditures and Non-sustaining capital expenditures are non-GAAP financial measures. Sustaining capital expenditures are defined as those expenditures required to sustain current operations and exclude all expenditures incurred at new operations or major projects at existing operations where these projects will materially benefit the operation. Non-sustaining capital expenditures are primarily costs incurred at ‘new operations’ and costs related to ‘major projects at existing operations’ where these projects will materially benefit the operation. A material benefit to an existing operation is considered to be at least a 10% increase in annual or life of mine production, net present value, or reserves compared to the remaining life of mine of the operation. A reconciliation of sustaining capital expenditures and non-sustaining capital expenditures to the nearest IFRS measures is set out below. Management uses the distinction of the sustaining and non-sustaining capital expenditures as an input into the calculation of all-in sustaining costs per ounce and all-in costs per ounce.
• Adjusted net earnings is a non-GAAP financial measure calculated by adjusting net earnings as recorded in the consolidated statements of earnings for items not associated with ongoing operations. The Company believes that this generally accepted industry measure allows the evaluation of the results of income-generating capabilities and is useful in making comparisons between periods. This measure adjusts for the impact of items not associated with ongoing operations. A reconciliation of adjusted net earnings to the nearest IFRS measures is set out below. Management uses this measure to monitor and plan for the operating performance of the Company in conjunction with other data prepared in accordance with IFRS.
• Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure calculated by adjusting net earnings as recorded in the consolidated statements of earnings by depreciation, amortization, interest, taxes and items not associated with ongoing operations. The Company believes that this generally accepted industry measure allows the evaluation of the results of income-generating capabilities and is useful in making comparisons between periods. A reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to the nearest IFRS measures is set out below. Management uses this measure to monitor and plan for the operating performance of the Company in conjunction with other data prepared in accordance with IFRS.
• Free cash flow (deficit) is a non-GAAP financial measure calculated as cash provided by operating activities less property, plant and equipment additions. A reconciliation of free cash flow to the nearest IFRS measures is set out below. Management uses this measure to monitor the amount of cash available to reinvest in the Company and allocate for shareholder returns.
• Mining costs per tonne mined is a non-GAAP financial measure calculated by dividing the mining costs by the number of tonnes mined. Management uses these measures to monitor the cost management effectiveness of the mining process for each of its operating mines.
• Processing costs per tonne is a non-GAAP financial measure calculated by dividing the processing costs by the number of tonnes milled or stacked. Management uses these measures to monitor the cost management effectiveness of the mine processing for each of its operating mines.
• Site G&A costs per tonne processed is a non-GAAP financial measure calculated by dividing the site G&A costs by the number of tonnes milled or stacked. Management uses these measures to monitor the cost management effectiveness of the site G&A process for each of its operating mines.
• On site costs per tonne processed is a non-GAAP financial measure calculated by dividing the operating expenses less changes in inventories, royalties and other costs by the number of tonnes milled or stacked. Management uses these measures to monitor the cost management effectiveness of the relevant production costs for each of its operating mines.
• 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 Mine Streaming Agreement) 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 Mine Streaming Agreement) by the number of pounds sold. Management uses this measure to monitor its sales of copper pounds against the average market copper price.
• Average realized molybdenum price is a supplementary financial measure calculated by dividing the different components of molybdenum sales (including third party sales, mark-to-market adjustments and final pricing adjustments) by the number of pounds sold. Management uses this measure to monitor its sales of molybdenum pounds against the average market molybdenum price.
• Total liquidity is a supplementary financial measure calculated as cash and cash equivalents and amount available under the corporate credit facility. Credit facility availability is reduced by outstanding letters of credit. 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:

What were Centerra Gold’s Q3 2026 earnings?

Centerra Gold reported $88.7 million in net earnings, or $0.46 per basic share, for Q3 2026. Adjusted net earnings, a non-GAAP measure, were $71.8 million, or $0.37 per share. Reported net earnings declined 70% year over year, while adjusted net earnings increased 8%.

What is Centerra Gold’s revised 2026 Mount Milligan cost guidance?

Mount Milligan’s 2026 all-in sustaining cost guidance on a by-product basis is $1,100–$1,200 per ounce, down from $1,200–$1,300. Centerra attributes the reduction to year-to-date copper by-product credits. Gold production cost guidance remains $1,450–$1,550 per ounce.

How does Centerra Gold’s Mount Milligan streaming agreement affect metal sales?

Royal Gold is entitled to purchase 35% of Mount Milligan’s gold and 18.75% of its copper production. Royal Gold pays $435 per ounce of gold and 15% of the spot price per metric tonne of copper delivered. Centerra’s reported realized gold and copper prices include the agreement’s impact.
