TORONTO, CANADA, March 28, 2022: Centerra Gold Inc. (“Centerra” or “the Company”) (TSX: CG) (NYSE: CGAU) issued the following statement today:
Centerra Gold Inc. notes that the Cabinet of Ministers of the Kyrgyz Republic has approved a decision by the Kyrgyz Government to conclude an agreement with Centerra related to Centerra’s Kumtor Mine, as reported
by Kyrgyz news media. Negotiations with representatives of the Kyrgyz Government and Kyrgyzaltyn JSC continue with a view to finalizing a transaction that Centerra expects will include the principal terms outlined
in the Company’s press release dated January 3, 2022. As previously disclosed, Centerra expects that the
framework for any transaction will include exchanging Centerra’s interest in the Kumtor Mine for, among other
things, Kyrgyzaltyn JSC’s Centerra common shares, as well as 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.
Processes in respect of the foregoing and other matters required in connection with an acceptable transaction
remain outstanding. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that any proposed transaction will be agreed to or
consummated or as to the final economic and other terms and conditions of any such transaction, if agreed.

Forward-looking information is necessarily based upon a number of estimates and assumptions that, while
considered reasonable by Centerra, are inherently subject to significant political, business, technical, economic
and competitive uncertainties and contingencies. Known and unknown factors could cause actual results to
differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking information. Factors and assumptions that could
cause actual results or events to differ materially from current expectations include, among other things:
political changes in the Kyrgyz Republic which result in an abandonment, delay, significant changes or other
disruption to the ongoing discussions between the Company, the Kyrgyz Republic and Kyrgyzaltyn JSC,
uncertainty around the likelihood of a transaction resulting from negotiations with representatives of the Kyrgyz
Republic and Kyrgyzaltyn JSC, and legal and regulatory requirements and approvals of the Kyrgyz Government
and certain of its instrumentalities in connection therewith; the continued imposition by the Kyrgyz Government
of “external management” on Kumtor Gold Company CJSC (“KGC”) or the prolongation of such “external management”; the inability of the “external management” to obtain equipment, spare parts, consumables orother supplies; the Kyrgyz Government taking further steps to nationalize or expropriate the Kumtor Mine,
and/or utilizing the purported environmental and tax claims being asserted against KGC to strip KGC of its
assets; the impact of changes in, or to the more aggressive enforcement of, laws, regulations and government
practices in the Kyrgyz Republic, including unjustified civil or criminal action against the Company, its
affiliates or its current or former personnel, including the interaction of claims of harm to the environment or
human health with new Kyrgyz Republic legislation; the uncertainty of potential outcomes in the previously
disclosed arbitration process brought by the Company against the Kyrgyz Republic and Kyrgyzaltyn JSC; the
inability of the Company and its subsidiaries to collect on or enforce any favorable arbitral and/or court
judgement awarded against the Kyrgyz Republic or Kyrgyzaltyn JSC; the presence of a significant shareholder,
Kyrgyzaltyn JSC, that is a state-owned company of the Kyrgyz Republic; and other actions which could be
taken by or against the Company in response to the ongoing situation involving the Kumtor Mine. For
