TORONTO, July 28, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Centerra Gold Inc. (“Centerra” or the “Company”) (TSX: CG and NYSE: CGAU) today reported its second quarter 2026 operating and financial results.
President and CEO, Paul Tomory, commented, “We delivered another quarter of strong operational execution across our portfolio. Mount Milligan continued to perform in line with plan, and Öksüt delivered a strong first half of 2026, resulting in a 9% increase to its gold production guidance for the year. Both sites generated robust cash flow from operations during the quarter and we continued to see healthy operating margins which were supported by disciplined cost management and strong operational execution, even in the lower gold price environment.”
Paul Tomory continued, “During the second quarter, we completed $50 million in share buybacks and the Board of Directors approved up to $200 million in share repurchases for the full year 2026, reinforcing our commitment to shareholder returns. These actions reflect the strength of our balance sheet, our ability to generate cash flow and our disciplined approach to capital allocation. We also extended and upsized our revolving credit facility to $600 million, at better pricing, further enhancing our financial flexibility.”
Paul Tomory concluded, “Across our project development portfolio, we continue to make good progress. At Thompson Creek, we achieved our highest mining rate during the quarter, marking another important milestone since the project restarted in September 2024. We remain on track for first molybdenum production in mid-2027 and expect the project to be delivered within our capital cost estimate. Molybdenum prices continue to trend well above the assumptions used in our Feasibility Study, reinforcing the attractive economics of this project. We also continue to advance Goldfield towards first production in late 2028, the Kemess Pre-Feasibility Study towards completion in mid-2027, and the Öksüt Life of Mine Optimization study, which we expect to publish in early 2027 with our year-end disclosures. With a high-quality project pipeline, predominantly in North America, we remain focused on executing our self-funded growth strategy to deliver sustainable, long-term value for shareholders.”
Second Quarter 2026 Highlights
Operations
- Production: In the second quarter 2026, consolidated gold production was 70,727 ounces, including 38,175 ounces from the Mount Milligan Mine (“Mount Milligan”) and 32,552 ounces from the Öksüt Mine (“Öksüt”). The Company has increased its 2026 gold production guidance for Öksüt to between 120,000 and 135,000 ounces, from the previous range of 110,000 to 125,000 ounces. As a result, 2026 consolidated gold production guidance has been increased to 260,000 to 290,000 ounces, up from the previous range of 250,000 to 280,000 ounces. Copper production in the quarter was 13.1 million pounds. The Company remains on track to achieve its 2026 copper production guidance of 50 to 60 million pounds.
- Sales: Second quarter 2026 gold sales were 72,114 ounces at an average realized gold price of $3,437 per ounce and copper sales were 13.4 million pounds at an average realized copper price of $5.30 per pound. The average realized gold and copper prices include the impact of the Mount Milligan streaming agreement with RGLD Gold AG and Royal Gold, Inc. (collectively “Royal Gold”).
- Costs: Second quarter 2026 consolidated gold production costs were $1,456 per ounce and all-in sustaining costs (“AISC”) on a by-product basisNG were $1,707 per ounce. The Company remains well positioned to achieve its 2026 guidance for consolidated AISC on a by-product basisNG of $1,650 to $1,750 per ounce.
- Capital expendituresNG: Second quarter 2026 additions to property, plant, and equipment (“PP&E”) and capital expendituresNG were $133.5 million and $120.3 million, respectively. Sustaining capital expendituresNG in the second quarter 2026 were $39.3 million mainly related to construction at the existing tailings storage facility (“TSF”) and equipment purchases at Mount Milligan. Non-sustaining capital expendituresNG in the second quarter were $81.0 million related mainly to the development of the Thompson Creek Mine (“Thompson Creek”) and the Goldfield Project (“Goldfield”).
Financial
- Net earnings: Second quarter 2026 net earnings were $72.1 million, or $0.37 per share, and adjusted net earningsNG were $79.3 million or $0.40 per share. Key adjustments to net earnings, net of tax, include $8.1 million of deferred income tax adjustments reflecting the impact of foreign exchange rate movements on deferred income taxes at Mount Milligan, and $2.1 million of unrealized gain on the re-measurement of the sale of the Company’s interest in the Greenstone Gold Mines Partnership in 2021. For additional adjustments refer to the “Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures” disclosure at the end of this news release.
- Cash provided by operating activities and free cash flowNG: In the second quarter 2026, cash provided by operating activities before working capital and income taxes paid was $161.7 million. After working capital and income taxes paid, cash provided by operating activities was $66.2 million and free cash flowNG deficit was $23.0 million. This includes $117.6 million of cash provided by mine operations and $89.1 million of free cash flowNG at Mount Milligan and $15.8 million of cash provided by mine operations and $10.5 million of free cash flowNG at Öksüt. This was partially offset by capital expendituresNG at Thompson Creek. Lower free cash flow at Öksüt during the quarter was the result of routine statutory tax and annual royalty payments in Türkiye.
- Cash and cash equivalents: As at June 30, 2026, total liquidity was $850.9 million, comprised of a cash balance of $450.9 million and $400.0 million available under an undrawn corporate credit facility. On July 15, 2026, Centerra amended its revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”), increasing the available commitment to $600 million and extending the maturity to July 2030. As a result, liquidity increased to $1,050 million, based on the June 30, 2026 cash balance.
- Returning capital to shareholders: Under Centerra’s normal course issuer bid (“NCIB”) program, the Company repurchased 2,924,400 common shares in the second quarter 2026, for total consideration of $49.7 million. The Company’s board of directors has approved up to $200 million of share repurchases for the full year 2026, of which, $72.2 million has been completed in the first six months of the year. Centerra believes that the NCIB continues to provide the Company with flexibility to strategically deploy cash in line with its capital allocation priorities, subject to market conditions, while maintaining the financial capacity to invest in future growth. A quarterly dividend of C$0.07 per common share was declared for a total of $10.0 million in the second quarter.
Events Subsequent to Quarter End
- Extension and increase of Centerra’s corporate credit facility: On July 15, 2026, Centerra amended its Credit Facility to increase its capacity to $600 million, up from $400 million previously, with an extended maturity date of July 15, 2030 and more favourable pricing. As at July 28, 2026, the Credit Facility remains undrawn and provides additional financial flexibility to support general corporate purposes, including working capital, investments, potential acquisitions, and capital expenditures. For additional details, refer to the news release published on July 15, 2026 titled “Centerra Gold Announces Extension and Increase of its Corporate Credit Facility”.
- Appointment of Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer: Kelly Strong has been appointed Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, effective August 17, 2026. Mike Sylvestre, who has served as Interim Chief Operating Officer since March 2026, will assist with an orderly transition into September 2026 before departing the Company. Mr. Strong has more than 30 years of global mining experience, having held senior operational leadership positions with The Mosaic Company, Nyrstar and Vale Inco, where he led large-scale mining, processing and integrated operations across North America and internationally. In this role, Mr. Strong will oversee Centerra’s global operating portfolio and advance the Company’s operational priorities and execute its long-term growth strategy.

Mount Milligan
Mount Milligan produced 38,175 ounces of gold in the second quarter of 2026, a 29% increase over last quarter and in line with the production profile previously disclosed. Mount Milligan produced 13.1 million pounds of copper, slightly less than last quarter due to mine sequencing. Year-to-date gold and copper production is in line with the Pre-Feasibility Study (“PFS”) mine plan and the Company remains on track to achieve its 2026 production guidance of between 140,000 and 155,000 ounces of gold and 50 to 60 million pounds of copper. As previously disclosed, gold production and sales are expected to be higher in the third quarter of 2026, reflecting planned mine sequencing. During the quarter, a total of 11.9 million tonnes were mined from phases 5, 6, 7 and 10 of the open pit. Process plant throughput was 5.5 million tonnes, averaging 60,214 tonnes per day. Gold sales were 39,580 ounces and copper sales were 13.4 million pounds.
Gold production costs in the second quarter 2026 were $1,314 per ounce. AISC on a by-product basisNG was $1,269 per ounce, higher quarter-over-quarter as a result of higher sustaining capital expendituresNG. The Company reaffirms its 2026 Mount Milligan AISC on a by-product basisNG guidance of $1,200 to $1,300 per ounce.
Sustaining capital expendituresNG at Mount Milligan in the second quarter of 2026 were $33.4 million, focused on the existing TSF dam construction and equipment purchases. Non-sustaining capital expendituresNG in the second quarter of 2026 were $14.5 million. The Company continues to expect 2026 sustaining and non-sustaining capital expendituresNG at Mount Milligan to be within the previously disclosed ranges of $80 to $90 million and $35 to $45 million, respectively.
In the second quarter of 2026, Mount Milligan generated $117.6 million of cash flow from mine operations and free cash flowNG of $89.1 million.
The September 2025 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. For additional details, refer to the news release published on September 11, 2025 titled “Centerra Gold’s Mount Milligan PFS Outlines Mine Life to 2045, Delivering Growth with a Fully Funded, Disciplined $186 Million Growth Capital Plan”.
In January 2026, Mount Milligan received an amended environmental assessment certificate and all related permits to allow for the continuation of operations through 2035. These authorizations also included the permits for the 10% expansion in plant throughput beginning in 2028 and increased stockpile capacity needed for plant feed flexibility.
Öksüt
Öksüt produced 32,552 ounces of gold in the second quarter of 2026, higher than planned due to higher grades and enhanced operating practices. Reflecting Öksüt’s strong operational performance in the first half of 2026, the Company has increased its 2026 gold production guidance for the mine by 9%, at the midpoint, to 120,000 to 135,000 ounces, from its previous range of 110,000 to 125,000 ounces. During the quarter, mining activities were focused on phase 5 and phase 6 of the Keltepe pit. A total of 4.7 million tonnes of ore and waste were mined in the quarter and 1.2 million tonnes were stacked at an average grade of 1.25 g/t.
At Öksüt, gold production costs and AISC on a by-product basisNG for the second quarter 2026 were $1,628 per ounce and $1,952 per ounce, respectively. AISC on a by-product basisNG was higher compared to last quarter driven by lower gold ounces produced and sold, and higher sustaining capital expendituresNG, partially offset by lower royalty expense per ounce due to lower gold prices. The Company continues to expect Öksüt’s 2026 AISC on a by-product basisNG to be within the previously disclosed guidance range of $1,850 and $1,950 per ounce.
In the second quarter 2026, sustaining capital expendituresNG at Öksüt were $5.3 million. The Company reaffirms its 2026 guidance for sustaining capital expendituresNG of $5 to $15 million at Öksüt.
Öksüt delivered cash flow from mine operations of $15.8 million and free cash flowNG of $10.5 million in the second quarter of 2026. As planned, the Company made an annual government royalty payment of $45.7 million and statutory tax payments of $50.2 million during the quarter.
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 should 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 extend gold recovery from existing leach pads through improved solution management, which may enhance residual metal extraction efficiency. The study is expected in early 2027 with the Company’s year-end disclosures and will support updates to the mine’s long-term reclamation and site management plan, ensuring the operation continues to maximize metal recovery in a safe and responsible manner.
US Moly
US Moly used $45.0 million of cash in operations and recorded a free cash flow deficitNG of $88.5 million, in the second quarter of 2026, reflecting capital spending on the restart of Thompson Creek and working capital increases at Langeloth primarily due to an increase in molybdenum prices during the quarter.
Thompson Creek Mine
The restart of Thompson Creek continues to advance as planned, with approximately 52% of the infrastructure refurbishment complete. Progress is being made in construction, pre-commissioning, tailings and operational readiness activities, including ball mill refurbishment, completion of tailings dam engineering, legacy system pre-commissioning, and the recruitment of key operating personnel. This quarter, Thompson Creek achieved its highest mining rate since the project restarted in September 2024, with 12.4 million tons mined during the quarter, a 33% increase compared to the first quarter of 2026.
In the second quarter of 2026, non-sustaining capital expendituresNG were $51.6 million. Since the restart decision in September 2024, non-sustaining capital expendituresNG have totaled $256.1 million. The Company expects the 2026 non-sustaining capital expendituresNG 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 second quarter of 2026, commissioning activities continued at Langeloth following the provisional restart of operations in April 2026 and achieved normal operational levels by the end of the quarter. During the quarter, Langeloth roasted and sold 3.7 million pounds and 3.8 million pounds of molybdenum, respectively, recorded adjusted EBITDANG of $5.1 million, and used $45.0 million of cash flow from operations, primarily related to an increase in working capital due to higher molybdenum prices.
A $46 million investment in working capital was made at Langeloth during the second quarter of 2026, primarily related to higher molybdenum prices. This investment is not expected to unwind in the near term as the Company plans to maintain higher inventory levels while Langeloth ramps up production as part of its commercial optimization strategy. Assuming stable molybdenum prices, the Company does not expect inventory value to increase further over the balance of 2026.
The Company has established 2026 operating guidance for Langeloth of 11 to 13 million pounds of roasted molybdenum production and 15 to 17 million pounds of molybdenum sold. Sales are expected to exceed production in 2026 as a result of the temporary suspension of operations in the first quarter. During the shutdown period, the Company continued to purchase third party concentrate and produce certain finished molybdenum products to support customer deliveries. In 2026, earnings from operations at Langeloth are expected to be $2 to $7 million and adjusted EBITDANG is expected to be $7 to $12 million.
Goldfield Project
Centerra continued to advance development activities at Goldfield during the quarter, with engineering and early mobilization activities ongoing, and early works progressing. Non-sustaining capital expendituresNG at Goldfield in the second quarter of 2026 were $12.1 million. The Company has updated its previously disclosed 2026 non-sustaining capital expendituresNG guidance for Goldfield to be $60 to $70 million, from the previous range of $30 to $40 million. The increase reflects the acceleration of a number of site preparation activities into 2026, including the water diversion channel, site platform development, overburden removal and overliner stockpiling, to support project execution and reduce execution risk. Engineering and procurement of key long-lead items, including the Adsorption, Desorption, and Recovery (“ADR”) plant, crushing circuit, heap leach liner, pumps and piping, and power infrastructure, have also been advanced to secure 2026 pricing. The overall project capital cost estimate remains unchanged at $252 million, consistent with the August 2025 technical study.
In August 2025, Centerra completed a technical study of the Goldfield project in Nevada and approved the project to proceed with development and construction. 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. For additional details on Goldfield, refer to the news release published on August 6, 2025 titled “Centerra Gold Announces Attractive Economics on the Goldfield Project; Proceeding with Project Development and Construction Activities”.
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%) (“NPV5%”) 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. For additional details, refer to the news release published on January 19, 2026 titled “Centerra Gold’s Kemess Preliminary Economic Assessment Highlights Strong Economics that Support the Company’s Long-Term Growth Pipeline”.

Other Information
Richard Adofo, Member of the Association of Professional Geoscientists Ontario and Centerra’s Vice President, Exploration & Resource, has reviewed and approved the scientific and technical information contained in this news release. Mr. Adofo is a “qualified person” within the meaning of the Canadian Securities Administrator’s NI 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects.
Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures
This document contains “specified financial measures” within the meaning of NI 52-112, specifically the non-GAAP financial measures, non-GAAP ratios and supplementary financial measures described below. Management believes that the use of these measures assists analysts, investors and other stakeholders of the Company in understanding the costs associated with producing gold and copper, understanding the economics of gold and copper mining, assessing operating performance, the Company’s ability to generate free cash flow from current operations and on an overall Company basis, and for planning and forecasting of future periods. However, the measures have limitations as analytical tools as they may be influenced by the point in the life cycle of a specific mine and the level of additional exploration or other expenditures a company has to make to fully develop its properties. The specified financial measures used in this document do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers, even as compared to other issuers who may be applying the World Gold Council (“WGC”) guidelines. Accordingly, these specified financial measures should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for, analysis of the Company’s recognized measures presented in accordance with IFRS.
Definitions
The following is a description of the non-GAAP financial measures, non-GAAP ratios and supplementary financial measures used in this document:
- All-in sustaining costs on a by-product basis per ounce is a non-GAAP ratio calculated as all-in sustaining costs on a by-product basis divided by ounces of gold sold. All-in sustaining costs on a by-product basis is a non-GAAP financial measure calculated as the aggregate of production costs as recorded in the consolidated statements of earnings, refining and transport costs, the cash component of capitalized stripping and sustaining capital expenditures, lease payments related to sustaining assets, corporate general and administrative expenses, accretion expenses, asset retirement depletion expenses, copper and silver revenue and the associated impact of hedges of by-product sales revenue. When calculating all-in sustaining costs on a by-product basis, all revenue received from the sale of copper from the Mount Milligan Mine, as reduced by the effect of the copper stream, is treated as a reduction of costs incurred. A reconciliation of all-in sustaining costs on a by-product basis to the nearest IFRS measure is set out below. Management uses these measures to monitor the cost management effectiveness of each of its operating mines.
- All-in sustaining costs on a co-product basis per ounce of gold or per pound of copper, is a non-GAAP ratio calculated as all-in sustaining costs on a co-product basis divided by ounces of gold or pounds of copper sold, as applicable. All-in sustaining costs on a co-product basis is a non-GAAP financial measure based on an allocation of production costs between copper and gold based on the conversion of copper production to equivalent ounces of gold. The Company uses a conversion ratio for calculating gold equivalent ounces for its copper sales calculated by multiplying the copper pounds sold by estimated average realized copper price and dividing the resulting figure by estimated average realized gold price. For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2026, 508 and 634 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 stacked is a non-GAAP financial measure calculated by dividing the processing costs by the number of tonnes milled or stacked. Management uses these measures to monitor the cost management effectiveness of the mine processing for each of its operating mines.
- Site G&A costs per tonne processed is a non-GAAP financial measure calculated by dividing the site G&A costs by the number of tonnes milled or stacked. Management uses these measures to monitor the cost management effectiveness of the site G&A process for each of its operating mines.
- On site costs per tonne processed is a non-GAAP financial measure calculated by dividing the operating expenses less changes in inventories, royalties and other costs by the number of tonnes milled or stacked. Management uses these measures to monitor the cost management effectiveness of the relevant production costs for each of its operating mines.
- 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:
