Recent Events and DevelopmentsIncident at the Langeloth Facility:
On January 29, 2026, Centerra temporarily suspended operations at the Langeloth Facility following an explosion adjacent to the acid plant. No fatalities, serious injuries or significant environmental releases were reported. In April 2026, roasting operations of molybdenum concentrates provisionally resumed with a controlled ramp-up, and by the end of the second quarter of 2026, the Langeloth Facility returned to steady-state production and sales levels.
Extension of the Corporate Credit Facility:
On July 15, 2026, Centerra announced it had extended its revolving credit facility (the "Credit Facility") with a renewed term of four years maturing on July 15, 2030 and an increase in size to $600 million. The Credit Facility provides future flexibility and may be used for general corporate purposes such as working capital, investments, acquisitions, and capital expenditures.
Öksüt - Turkish Corporate Tax Rate Reduction:
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.
Executive Management:
Kelly Strong was appointed Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, effective August 17, 2026. Mike Sylvestre, who had served as Interim Chief Operating Officer since March 2026, assisted with an orderly transition into September 2026 before departing the Company.

Overview of Consolidated Results
Third Quarter 2026 compared to Third Quarter 2025Net earnings of $88.7 million were recognized in the third quarter of 2026, compared to net earnings of
$292.2 million in the third quarter of 2025. The decrease in net earnings was primarily due to:
an impairment reversal of $193.5 million recognized in the third quarter of 2025, related to the Goldfield Project;
other operating expenses of $12.8 million recognized in the third quarter of 2026 compared to other operating income of $38.2 million in the third quarter of 2025. The increase in other operating expenses is primarily attributable to an unrealized loss of $4.1 million recognized in the third quarter of 2026 compared to an unrealized gain of $42.6 million recognized in the third quarter of 2025 on the financial asset related to the additional agreement with RGLD Gold AG (together with Royal Gold, Inc., "Royal Gold") dated February 13, 2024 to increase cash payments for the Mount Milligan Mine's gold and copper delivered to Royal Gold based on the delivery of certain threshold amounts from shipments occurring after January 1, 2024 ("Additional Royal Gold Agreement"), and higher study costs, primarily at the Mount Milligan Mine;
higher share-based compensation expenses of $20.8 million recognized in the third quarter of 2026 compared to $8.1 million in the third quarter of 2025, primarily attributable to a higher share price; and
an unrealized loss of $0.3 million recognized in the third quarter of 2026 compared to an unrealized gain of $16.3 million in the third quarter of 2025 on the re-measurement of the amount due from Equinox Gold Corp. ("Equinox Gold") in relation to the sale of Centerra's 50% interest in the Greenstone Gold Mines Partnership in 2021.
The decrease in net earnings was partially offset by:
higher earnings from mine operations of $176.1 million recognized in the third quarter of 2026 compared to $136.4 million in the third quarter of 2025. The increase in earnings from mine operations was primarily due to higher average realized gold prices at the Öksüt Mine, higher average realized gold and copper prices and higher ounces of gold sold at the Mount Milligan Mine, and a higher margin on the sale of molybdenum products at the Langeloth Facility, resulting from higher market prices and a relatively lower weighted average cost per pound of inventory sold. The increase was partially offset by lower ounces of gold sold at the Öksüt Mine and $17.7 million higher production costs at the Mount Milligan Mine; and
lower income tax expense of $15.3 million recognized in the third quarter of 2026 compared to an income tax expense of $59.6 million in the third quarter of 2025. The decrease in income tax expense was primarily attributable to the impact of tax optimization initiatives which are expected to reduce future income taxes payable at the Mount Milligan Mine.
Adjusted net earningsNG of $71.8 million were recognized in the third quarter of 2026, compared to adjusted net earningsNG of $66.4 million in the third quarter of 2025. As discussed above, the increase in adjusted net earningsNG was primarily due to higher earnings from mine operations, partially offset by higher share-based compensation expenses.
The main adjusting items to net earnings, net of tax, in the third quarter of 2026 were:
$10.2 million of deferred income tax adjustments reflecting primarily the impact of foreign exchange rate movements on deferred income taxes at the Öksüt Mine and the Mount Milligan Mine as well as the impact of tax optimization initiatives which are expected to reduce future income taxes payable at the Mount Milligan Mine;
$7.2 million of reclamation provision revaluation recovery; and
$2.6 million of unrealized loss, net of tax, on the financial asset related to the Additional Royal Gold Agreement.

The main adjusting items to net earnings, net of tax, in the third quarter of 2025 were:
$193.5 million related to the impairment reversal of the Goldfield Project;
$27.4 million of unrealized gain, net of tax, on the financial asset related to the Additional Royal Gold Agreement;
$14.0 million of deferred income tax adjustments reflecting primarily the impact of foreign exchange rate movements and changes in taxable differences on deferred tax assets at the Mount Milligan Mine; and
$16.3 million of unrealized gain on the re-measurement of the amount due related to the sale of the Company's interest in the Greenstone Gold Mines Partnership in 2021.
Cash provided by operating activities was $143.1 million in the third quarter of 2026, compared to $161.7 million in the third quarter of 2025. The decrease was primarily attributable to higher income tax payments of
$25.5 million, compared to $8.0 million in the third quarter of 2025, primarily at the Öksüt Mine. These were partially offset by higher earnings from mine operations, as discussed above.
Free cash flowNG of $17.1 million was recognized in the third quarter of 2026, compared to free cash flowNG of
$98.7 million in the third quarter of 2025. The decrease in free cash flowNG was primarily due to lower cash provided by operating activities as outlined above, and higher property, plant and equipment additions primarily related to $18.8 million increase in capital spending at the Thompson Creek Mine, $24.5 million increase in capital spending at the Mount Milligan Mine and $21.4 million increase in capital spending at the Goldfield Project.
Nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared to September 30, 2025Net earnings of $240.2 million were recognized in 2026, compared to net earnings of $391.2 million in 2025. The decrease in net earnings was primarily due to:
an impairment reversal of $193.5 million recognized in the third quarter of 2025, related to the Goldfield Project as outlined above;
other operating expenses of $70.2 million recognized in 2026 compared to other operating income of
$17.3 million in 2025. The increase in the other operating expenses is primarily attributable to an unrealized loss of $40.5 million in 2026 compared to an unrealized gain of $29.1 million in 2025 on the financial asset related to the Additional Royal Gold Agreement and higher study costs at the Mount Milligan Mine;
higher income tax expense of $122.7 million recognized in 2026 compared to income tax expense of
$82.2 million in 2025. The increase in income tax expense was attributable to an increase in taxable income at the Öksüt Mine and the Mount Milligan Mine, and higher withholding tax at the Öksüt Mine;
higher share-based compensation expenses of $33.6 million recognized in 2026 compared to $10.9 million in 2025 primarily attributable to a higher share price; and
a lower unrealized gain of $17.9 million recognized in 2026 compared to $37.9 million in 2025 due to the re-measurement of the amount due from Equinox Gold in relation to the sale of Centerra's 50% interest in the Greenstone Gold Mines Partnership in 2021.
The decrease in net earnings was partially offset by higher earnings from mine operations of $532.7 million in 2026 compared to $300.4 million in 2025. The increase in earnings from mine operations was primarily due to higher average realized gold and copper prices and higher gold ounces and copper pounds sold. These impacts were partially offset by higher royalty expense and higher DDA at the Öksüt Mine and higher production costs at the Mount Milligan Mine.
Adjusted net earningsNG of $239.3 million were recognized in 2026, compared to adjusted net earningsNG of
$145.4 million in 2025. The increase in adjusted net earningsNG was primarily due to higher earnings from mine operations, partially offset by higher income tax expense and share-based compensation, as outlined above.

The main adjusting items to net earnings, net of tax, in 2026 were:
$17.9 million of unrealized gain on the re-measurement of the amount due related to the sale of the Company's interest in the Greenstone Partnership in 2021;
$25.8 million of unrealized loss, net of tax, on the financial asset related to the Additional Royal Gold Agreement; and
$9.2 million of unrealized gain on foreign exchange mainly from the effect of movement in foreign currency exchange rates on the reclamation provision at the Endako Mine and Kemess Project.
The main adjusting items to net earnings, net of tax, in 2025 were:
$193.5 million related to the impairment reversal of the Goldfield Project;
$37.9 million of unrealized gain on the re-measurement of the amount due related to the sale of the Company's interest in the Greenstone Gold Mines Partnership in 2021; and
$13.9 million of unrealized gain, net of tax, on the financial asset related to the Additional Royal Gold Agreement.
Cash provided by operating activities was $329.4 million in 2026 compared to $245.6 million in 2025. The increase in cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to $232.3 million higher earnings from mine operations, and a $71.1 million favourable working capital movement related to the timing of sales and cash collection from shipments at the Mount Milligan Mine. Partially offsetting the increase were a $138.3 million unfavourable working capital movement at the Langeloth Facility due to inventory build-up in anticipation of ongoing production capacity ramp-up and higher unit cost of the inventory from higher molybdenum prices, and a $47.3 million increase in income tax payments.
Free cash flowNG of $43.2 million was recognized in 2026 compared to free cash flowNG of $83.1 million in 2025. The decrease in free cash flowNG was primarily due to higher property, plant and equipment additions mainly related to a $49.7 million increase in capital spending at the Thompson Creek Mine, $38.9 million increase in capital spending at the Goldfield Project, and $45.4 million increase in capital spending at the Mount Milligan Mine, partially offset by higher cash provided by operating activities as outlined above.

2026 Outlook
The Company has updated its 2026 outlook as follows:
Mount Milligan Mine - lowering estimate for all-in sustaining costs on a by-product basisNG, driven by strong copper credits. Mount Milligan Mine has also adjusted anticipated tax expense upward to align with higher revenue resulting from favourable gold and copper prices. Lastly, the Mount Milligan Mine has increased its DDA estimate to better reflect the current mine plan.
Langeloth Facility - raised its guidance for net earnings and adjusted EBITDANG as it expects to
benefit from high molybdenum prices throughout 2026.
Corporate - increased full year corporate G&A guidance to reflect a number of small factors including consulting and legal fees.
Except for the changes highlighted above, the Company's outlook is unchanged as presented in the MD&A for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026. The Company's full year 2026 outlook, and comparative actual results for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 of certain operating metrics are set out in the sections below. The Company notes that the ongoing shifts and uncertainty around the conflict in the Middle East and volatility of fuel prices may have an impact on the results of the Company's operations in 2026, but at present these impacts are not expected to be material at the consolidated level.

Production Profile
In the nine months ended September 30, 2026, the Company reported consolidated production of 214,157 ounces of gold and 40.1 million pounds of copper. Centerra's 2026 consolidated gold production is projected to be between 260,000 to 290,000 ounces with 2026 copper production expected to be between 50 to 60 million pounds.
Mount Milligan Mine
In the nine months ended September 30, 2026, the Mount Milligan Mine produced 111,817 ounces of gold and 40.1 million pounds of copper. In 2026, the Mount Milligan Mine's gold production guidance is projected to be between 140,000 to 155,000 ounces and copper production guidance is projected to be between 50 to 60 million pounds. Mill throughput, gold grades, and copper grades in 2026 are expected to be similar to those in 2025 and in line with the 2025 Mount Milligan Mine's pre-feasibility study ("MTM PFS"). The Mount Milligan plant completed a scheduled major shutdown in the first quarter of 2026 and completed another shutdown in the third quarter of 2026 for the relining of the SAG and one ball mill. The third quarter gold production was higher than second quarter production, increasing by 15%, reflecting planned mine sequencing. The mine remains on track to achieve full year gold production guidance and full year copper production guidance. Sales and monetization of gold ounces and copper pounds are dependent on the timing of ocean vessels and may result in some timing differences between produced and sold quantities.
Öksüt Mine
In the nine months ended September 30, 2026, the Öksüt Mine produced 102,340 ounces of gold. Production at the Öksüt Mine remains on track to meet the guidance range of 120,000 and 135,000 ounces for the year (increased in the second quarter report from 110,000 and 125,000 ounces). Ore mined in 2026 is planned to be sourced from phase 5 and phase 6 of the Keltepe Pit, and gold sales are expected to closely follow gold production.
Cost Profile
In the nine months ended September 30, 2026, the Company's consolidated gold production costs amounted to $1,536 per ounce. In 2026, the Company anticipates its consolidated gold production costs to range from
$1,500 to $1,600 per ounce.
Consolidated all-in sustaining costs on a by-product basisNG were $1,729 per ounce in the nine months ended September 30, 2026. In 2026, the Company expects its consolidated all-in sustaining costs on a by-product basisNG to be in the range of $1,650 to $1,750 per ounce for the full year. Consolidated all-in sustaining costs on a by-product basisNG in 2026 are driven by increased expected royalty costs at the Öksüt Mine and higher share-based compensation expense which are more than offset by higher expected by-product credits at the Mount Milligan Mine driven by strong copper and silver prices.
Mount Milligan Mine
In the nine months ended September 30, 2026, the Mount Milligan Mine reported gold production costs of
$1,474 per ounce. Production costs in the third quarter were $1,392 per ounce where strong gold production offset moderate cost increases from diesel, tires, and camp facilities. Anticipated full year production costs at the Mount Milligan Mine remain within the guidance range of $1,450 to $1,550 per ounce.
Copper production costs at the Mount Milligan Mine were $2.49 per pound in the nine months ended September 30, 2026. In 2026, copper production costs are projected to be in the range of $2.00 to $2.50 per pound.

NON-GAAP & OTHER INFORMATION
At the Mount Milligan Mine, all-in sustaining costs on a by-product basisNG were $1,103 per ounce for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, below the low end of the original guidance range ($1,200 to $1,300 per ounce). The Mount Milligan Mine continues to benefit from high copper credits driven by strong copper prices. As a result, the Company has lowered the full year guidance range for all-in sustaining costs on a by-product basisNG of $1,100 to $1,200 per ounce in 2026.
Öksüt Mine
In the nine months ended September 30, 2026, the Öksüt Mine reported gold production costs of $1,607 per ounce. Lower gold production costs per ounce in the first three quarters of 2026 were driven by stronger than anticipated gold production. In 2026, the Company estimates the Öksüt Mine's gold production costs to be in the range of $1,650 to $1,750 per ounce, with royalty costs expected to constitute between $600 to $700 per ounce of this cost (at an assumed market gold price of $4,250 per ounce).
The Öksüt Mine's all-in sustaining costs on a by-product basisNG were $1,822 per ounce in the nine months ended September 30, 2026. In 2026, the Company expects the Öksüt Mine's full year all-in sustaining costs on a by-product basisNG to be in the range of $1,850 to $1,950 per ounce.
Capital Expenditures
Additions to Property, Plant and Equipment ("PP&E") include certain non-cash additions to PP&E such as changes in future reclamation costs and capitalization of leases. Capital expendituresNG, which comprise sustaining capital expendituresNG and non-sustaining capital expendituresNG, exclude such non-cash additions to PP&E. The reconciliation of additions to PP&E and capital expendituresNG is included in the Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures section of this MD&A.
In the nine months ended September 30, 2026, additions to PP&E for gold and copper assets were $179.1 million and Total Capital ExpendituresNG for these assets were $164.2 million. In 2026, consolidated additions to PP&E are expected to be in the range of $205 million to $250 million and total capital expendituresNG in the range of $185 to $230 million for the gold and copper asset portfolio. Planned capital expendituresNG of note in 2026 include water management projects and buttress foundation construction at the Mount Milligan Mine as well as site preparation activities at the Goldfield Project.
The Mount Milligan Mine's additions to PP&E in 2026 were $109.9 million and total capital expendituresNG were $100.2 million. The difference between additions to PP&E and capital expendituresNG was mainly due to costs capitalized into Right-of-Use ("ROU") assets of $15.4 million, less a change to future reclamation costs of $5.4 million. In 2026, the Mount Milligan Mine is forecasted to have additions to PP&E in the range from
$130 million to $150 million and total capital expendituresNG from $115 to $135 million. Total capital expendituresNG include sustaining capital expendituresNG in the range of $80 to $90 million and non-sustaining capital expendituresNG in the range of $35 to $45 million. Non-sustaining capital expendituresNG scheduled throughout 2026 include purchases of additional mining equipment to increase tonnes moved, ball mill upgrades, buttress foundation construction to allow for the successive tailings dam buttress raises over the course of the remaining life of the existing tailings storage facility ("TSF"), and exploration costs to continue testing for potential resource expansion to the west. A portion of the 2026 sustaining capital expendituresNG relates to capitalized TSF construction costs in the range of $25 to $30 million with the remaining sustaining capital expendituresNG largely related to water management projects to sustain water access and availability and major component and equipment replacements within the operating fleet. Total capital expendituresNG remain in line with the MTM PFS with the exception of increased capital expendituresNG related to water management projects and buttress foundation construction as mentioned above.
The Öksüt Mine's additions to PP&E in the nine months ended September 30, 2026 were $13.8 million and total capital expendituresNG were $9.2 million. The difference between additions to PP&E and capital expendituresNG was due to a change in future reclamation costs of $2.1 million and the costs capitalized to ROU assets of $2.5 million. Additions to PP&E and total sustaining capital expendituresNG are expected to be

low in 2026, in the range of $10 to $20 million and $5 to $15 million, respectively, reflecting ongoing support of production facilities.
In the nine months ended September 30, 2026, the Goldfield Project additions to PP&E and total capital expendituresNG were $49.2 and $48.6 million, respectively. In 2026, the Goldfield Project is expecting additions to PP&E and non-sustaining capital expendituresNG to be in the range of $60 million to $70 million, as the Company started to execute on its plan to build the project. The 2026 capital expendituresNG program primarily relates to advancing detailed engineering work, long-lead procurement activities, initial site general earthworks and preparation and down payments for power line upgrades. The increase reflects the advancement of a number of site preparation activities into 2026, including the water diversion channel, site platform development, overburden removal, and heap leach pad construction materials 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 consistent with the August 2025 technical study.
There were $6.2 million in additions to PP&E and non-sustaining capital expendituresNG for the Kemess Project in the nine months ended September 30, 2026. In 2026, the Kemess Project is expecting additions to PP&E and total capital expendituresNG to be in the range of $5 to $10 million. The 2026 capital expendituresNG program primarily relates to costs needed to restart the water treatment plant and completion of certain camp accommodation facility upgrades. As the Kemess Project remains focused on project evaluation activities, the majority of the project costs are expensed and recorded within exploration and evaluation or care and maintenance as further outlined below.
Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization
In the nine months ended September 30, 2026, the Company's DDA expense included in the cost of sales for gold and copper producing assets was $95.2 million. The Öksüt Mine's DDA expense over this period was
$48.0 million and the Mount Milligan Mine's DDA expense was $47.2 million. The guidance range for the Mount Milligan Mine's DDA expense was increased to $55 to $65 million (previously $40 to $50 million) in order to more accurately reflect the current mine plan. In 2026, the Company estimates DDA expense at the Öksüt Mine to be in the range of $50 to $60 million, for a combined DDA expense of $105 to $125 million (previously $90 to $110 million).
Current Taxes and Tax Payments
The Mount Milligan Mine's current British Columbia mineral tax expense in the nine months ended September 30, 2026, was $9.7 million and the cash taxes paid were $9.0 million. The cash taxes paid included $2.6 million in payments for 2020, 2021, and 2022 audits. The remaining difference between current tax expense and cash taxes paid is due to timing of tax payments. In 2026, Mount Milligan Mine's current British Columbia mineral tax expense and tax payments are each expected to be in the range of $12 to $14 million, up from the earlier guidance range of $6 to $8 million, as a result of increased gold and copper revenues.
The Öksüt Mine's current income tax expense in the nine months ended September 30, 2026 was $100.5 million, including a withholding tax of $16.0 million on the repatriation of Öksüt Mine's earnings. Total cash taxes paid by the Öksüt Mine in the nine months ended September 30, 2026 were $95.1 million, including withholding tax of $22.5 million on the repatriation of Öksüt Mine's earnings. The difference between current tax expense and cash taxes paid is due to timing of tax payments. In 2026, the Öksüt Mine income tax expense is expected to be in the range of $105 to $125 million. The Öksüt Mine income tax expense reflects a 25% income tax rate on taxable income and a 10% withholding tax rate on repatriation of a portion of the Öksüt Mine's retained earnings. On June 4, 2026, an amendment to income tax legislation was published in Türkiye which will reduce the corporate income tax rate from 25% to 12.5%, beginning January 1, 2027 and applicable for subsequent taxation periods. The Company expects qualifying production income generated by the Öksüt Mine to benefit from the reduced rate.

Thompson Creek Mine
The Thompson Creek Mine's additions to PP&E and total capital expendituresNG in the nine months ended September 30, 2026 were $193.0 million and $173.6 million, respectively. The difference between additions to PP&E and capital expendituresNG was primarily due to capitalized ROU assets of $15.9 million comprised of mining equipment and capitalized DDA of $14.4 million.
Since the restart decision in September 2024, non-sustaining capital expendituresNG have totaled $337.3 million including capitalized stripping costs of $162.3 million, equipment refurbishments and capital equipment purchases of $82.3 million, mill refurbishments, mill engineering studies and TSF engineering costs of $47.4 million and other capitalized costs of $45.3 million.
In 2026, the Thompson Creek Mine's additions to PP&E are expected to be in the range of $205 to $235 million (inclusive of capitalized DDA) and total capital expendituresNG are expected to be in the range of $190 to $220 million. The Thompson Creek Mine is focused on the following major deliverables in 2026:
Maintain high utilization of an additional production shovel to increase tons moved and perform mobilization of a mining contractor in certain mining areas to de-risk execution of the mine plan.
Substantially complete mill construction and transition to commissioning readiness.
Progress tailings and water-management infrastructure to support start-up, including the tailings dam rock toe buttress construction.
Ramp up of operating and commissioning teams and staff critical roles, specifically in the mill area.
Finalize operations-readiness and continue training, procedures, and cross-functional coordination.
The Company expects the total project spending will be in the range of $425 to $450 million through to first production. The project remains on track for first production in mid-2027.

The Company estimates that the majority of costs at the Thompson Creek Mine will relate to goods and services sourced domestically within the United States and, as such, does not anticipate a material impact from import tariffs at this time. The Company has continued a diesel hedging program at the Thompson Creek Mine in order to manage the risk associated with changes in fuel prices. The Company does not expect material impact to project spending from the rise in global fuel prices in 2026.
Langeloth Facility
The Langeloth Facility maintained full operations in the third quarter and the Company has increased the guidance ranges for net earnings and adjusted EBITDANG in 2026 due to strong molybdenum prices.
In the nine months ended September 30, 2026, the Langeloth Facility roasted and sold 7.7 million and 12.1 million pounds of molybdenum, respectively. The Langeloth Facility is projected to roast 11 to 13 million pounds of molybdenum and sell 15 to 17 million pounds in 2026. Sales are expected to exceed production in 2026 as a result of the temporary suspension of operations in the first quarter of 2026 that constrained roasting activities. The Company continued to purchase third party molybdenum concentrates and molybdenum products during the shutdown period to support customer deliveries which contributed to higher sales volumes.
In the nine months ended September 30, 2026, Langeloth Facility's net earnings were $11.7 million, including DDA of $3.4 million, and adjusted EBITDANG was $18.9 million. In 2026, expected net earnings at the Langeloth Facility have been increased to $12 to $17 million (previously $2 to $7 million) and anticipated adjusted EBITDANG has been increased to $17 to $22 million (previously $7 to $12 million), due to a higher margin on the sale of molybdenum products as a result of higher market prices and a relatively lower weighted average cost per pound of inventory sold. The Company expects the current production cost structure to remain relatively stable for the remainder of the year. The difference between net earnings and adjusted EBITDANG was primarily due to $3.9 million to settle a legacy labour-related proceeding before the
U.S. National Labor Relations Board ("NLRB").
The Langeloth Facility reported approximately $138.3 million in incremental working capital investment in the nine months ended September 30, 2026, primarily due to a build-up of inventory volumes and the increase in the average molybdenum market prices. In the nine months ended September 30, 2026, the cash used by operations at the Langeloth Facility was primarily driven by changes in working capital. The working capital requirements at the Langeloth Facility are highly dependent on market molybdenum prices. A $5 per pound change in molybdenum price has an approximate $25 million impact on working capital invested. The average molybdenum market price increased from $22.11 per pound at the end of the fourth quarter of 2025 to $29.48 per pound at the end of the third quarter of 2026.
In the nine months ended September 30, 2026, the Langeloth Facility's additions to PP&E and total capital expendituresNG were $2.1 million. For the full year of 2026, the Langeloth Facility is projecting sustaining capital expendituresNG to be in the range of $3 to $5 million.

At Kemess, work will continue to in-fill drill within the resource areas outlined in the PEA, and advance drilling at the Kemess Offset zone.
Other Items
In the nine months ended September 30, 2026, corporate and administration expenses were $30.1 million, excluding share-based compensation expense of $33.6 million and corporate depreciation of $0.6 million. Guidance for corporate and administration expenses, excluding share-based compensation expense and corporate depreciation, has been increased to reflect a number of small factors including consulting fees, legal fees, insurance, and travel. Corporate and administration expenses excluding share-based compensation are expected to be in the range of $34 to $38 million (previously $29 to $33 million) in 2026.
In the nine months ended September 30, 2026, the Company's share of cash expenditures at the Endako Mine totaled $4.1 million primarily related to care and maintenance. In 2026, the Company's share of care and maintenance expenditures at the Endako Mine are expected to be between $6 and $8 million.
As a result of the attainment of certain production thresholds at the Greenstone Mine, the Company is entitled to receive 33,333 additional contingent gold ounces (or equivalent cash payments) from Equinox Gold in relation to the sale of Centerra's 50% interest in the Greenstone Gold Mines Partnership in 2021. Such contingent gold ounces are required to be delivered by the Company to Royal Gold as part of the Additional Royal Gold Agreement. The first contingent payment occurred in 2025, the second contingent payment occurred in early October 2026 and the Company anticipates the third payment in 2027.
2026 Material AssumptionsOther material assumptions or factors not mentioned above but used to estimate production and costs in 2026, after giving effect to the hedges in place as at September 30, 2026, include the following:
market gold price of $4,250 per ounce and an average realized gold price at the Mount Milligan Mine of $2,915 per ounce after reflecting the Mount Milligan Streaming Agreement (35% of the Mount Milligan Mine's gold is sold to Royal Gold for $435 per ounce) and gold refining costs;
market price of $6.25 per pound ($6.00 per pound in the previous guidance) for copper and an average realized copper price at the Mount Milligan Mine of $5.25 per pound after reflecting the Mount Milligan Streaming Agreement (18.75% of the Mount Milligan Mine's copper is sold to Royal Gold at 15% of the spot price per metric tonne), and copper treatment and refining costs;
market price of $65 per ounce for silver;
molybdenum price of $32.00 per pound ($30 per pound in the previous guidance);
exchange rates are as follows: $1USD:$1.37 CAD, and $1USD:48.00 Turkish lira ($1USD:47.00 Turkish lira in previous guidance); and
diesel fuel price of $1.25/litre or CAD$1.71/litre at the Mount Milligan Mine and $3.35/gallon ($3.15/ gallon previously) at the Thompson Creek Mine.
The Additional Royal Gold Agreement is not expected to have a significant impact on these assumptions in 2026 as the increases in payments received by the Company for gold ounces and copper pounds delivered to Royal Gold are not expected to commence until approximately 2030.
Mount Milligan Streaming AgreementProduction at the Mount Milligan Mine is subject to the Mount Milligan Streaming Agreement. To satisfy its obligations under the Mount Milligan Streaming Agreement, the Company purchases refined gold and copper warrants and arranges for their delivery to Royal Gold.

On July 15, 2026, Centerra announced it had extended its revolving credit facility with a renewed term of four years maturing on July 15, 2030 and an increase in size to $600.0 million.
Third Quarter 2026 compared to Third Quarter 2025See the Overview of Consolidated Results section in this MD&A for the discussion of cash provided by operating activities.
Cash used in investing activities of $126.0 million was recognized in the third quarter of 2026 compared to
$87.8 million in the third quarter of 2025. The increase is primarily related to $18.8 million higher capital spending at the Thompson Creek Mine, $24.5 million higher capital spending at the Mount Milligan Mine and
$21.4 million higher capital spending at the Goldfield Project in the third quarter of 2026, partially offset by
$22.9 million lower equity investment purchases. In the third quarter of 2026, the Company also received proceeds of $1.9 million from the disposition of equity investments related to the sale of the Company's remaining shares in Surge Copper Corp. ("Surge Copper") which was considered a non-strategic investment.
Cash used in financing activities in the third quarter of 2026 was $70.1 million compared to $34.4 million in the third quarter of 2025. The increase is primarily due to higher consideration paid to repurchase and cancel Centerra common shares. Consideration paid for the repurchase and cancellation of 2,584,600 Centerra common shares under the Company's NCIB program was $53.0 million at an average price of $20.52 (C$28.61) per share in the third quarter of 2026 compared to consideration of $22.0 million at an average price of $7.76 (C$10.70) per share paid for the repurchase and cancellation of 2,839,983 Centerra common shares under the Company's NCIB program in the third quarter of 2025.

Cash used in investing activities of $291.3 million was recognized in 2026 compared to $209.0 million in 2025. The increase is primarily related to $49.7 million higher capital spending at the Thompson Creek Mine in 2026, $38.9 million higher capital spending at the Goldfield Project and $45.4 million higher capital spending at the Mount Milligan Mine, partially offset by $26.7 million lower equity investment purchases and
$14.9 million of proceeds from the disposition of equity investments. The proceeds primarily reflect the sale of the Company's remaining shares in Surge Copper.
Cash used in financing activities of $169.1 million was recognized in 2026 compared to $99.4 million in 2025. The increase was primarily due to higher consideration paid to repurchase and cancel Centerra common shares. Consideration paid for the repurchase and cancellation of 6,762,900 Centerra common shares under the Company's NCIB program was $125.2 million at an average price of $18.51 (C$25.75) per share in 2026 compared to consideration of $64.0 million paid for the repurchase and cancellation of 9,195,416 Centerra common shares under the Company's NCIB program at an average price of $6.96 (C$9.69) per share in 2025.

Gold production was 75,429 ounces in the third quarter of 2026 compared to 81,773 ounces in the third quarter of 2025. Gold production in the third quarter of 2026 included 31,359 ounces of gold produced at the Öksüt Mine compared to 49,234 ounces produced in the third quarter of 2025. The overall decrease was primarily driven by lower ounces stacked as a result of lower grade at the Öksüt Mine. There were 44,070 ounces of gold produced from the Mount Milligan Mine in the third quarter of 2026 compared to 32,539 ounces in the third quarter of 2025. The increase in gold production was primarily driven by higher head grade and higher mill throughput.
Copper production at the Mount Milligan Mine was 12.8 million pounds in the third quarter of 2026, compared to 13.4 million pounds in the third quarter of 2025. The decrease in copper production was primarily due to lower head grades processed and lower recovery, partially offset by higher mill throughput.
The Langeloth Facility roasted 2.8 million pounds and sold 4.6 million pounds of molybdenum in the third quarter of 2026, compared to 4.4 million pounds roasted and 3.1 million pounds sold in the third quarter of 2025. Molybdenum sold increased due to the continued ramp-up of operations in line with plans to progressively increase volumes. The decrease in molybdenum roasted in the third quarter of 2026, compared to the third quarter of 2025, was primarily due to the timing of concentrate purchases between the periods as well as a higher proportion of molybdenum products purchased that do not require roasting in order to produce end products required for certain customer orders.
Cost of sales of $324.2 million was recognized in the third quarter of 2026 compared to $258.7 million in the third quarter of 2025. The increase was primarily due to $56.7 million higher production costs at the Langeloth Facility attributable to higher molybdenum prices and higher molybdenum pounds sold, and $17.7 million higher production costs at the Mount Milligan Mine primarily due to higher mining, processing and administrative costs. This was partially offset by $7.1 million lower production costs at the Öksüt Mine mainly attributable to lower ounces of gold sold.
Gold production costs were $1,505 per ounce in the third quarter of 2026 compared to $1,346 per ounce in the third quarter of 2025. The increase was primarily driven by the Öksüt Mine due to fewer ounces of gold sold and increased royalty costs per ounce with higher realized gold prices. These increases were partially offset by higher ounces of gold sold at the Mount Milligan Mine.
Capital expendituresᴺᴳ were $150.9 million in the third quarter of 2026, compared to $58.3 million in the third quarter of 2025. Sustaining capital expendituresᴺᴳ were $26.1 million, consistent with $25.7 million in the third quarter of 2025, and mainly related to construction at the existing TSF and equipment replacement purchases at the Mount Milligan Mine. Non-sustaining capital expendituresᴺᴳ increased to $124.8 million from $32.6 million in the third quarter of 2025, primarily due to $49.8 million higher spending at the Thompson Creek Mine as restart activities advanced, $29.9 million at the Goldfield Project following the start of early earthworks and site preparation, and $10.6 million higher spending at the Mount Milligan Mine on the mining fleet expansion and TSF buttress foundation construction.
All-in sustaining costs on a by-product basisNG were $1,775 per ounce in the third quarter of 2026 compared to $1,652 per ounce in the third quarter of 2025. The increase in all-in sustaining costs on a by-product basisNG was primarily due to higher gold production costs per ounce as noted above and higher share-based compensation costs due to the Company's higher share price, partially offset by higher copper credits from increased copper prices.
Share-based compensation expenses of $20.8 million were recognized in the third quarter of 2026 compared to $8.1 million in the third quarter of 2025. The increase was primarily attributable to the Company's higher share price.
No impairment or impairment reversal was recognized in the third quarter of 2026. In the third quarter of 2025, the Company recognized an impairment reversal of $193.5 million related to the Goldfield Project, as additional technical studies and project optimizations, together with higher long-term gold prices, significantly improved the economics of the project resulting in the decision to proceed.

Other operating expenses of $12.8 million were recognized in the third quarter of 2026 compared to other operating income of $38.2 million in the third quarter of 2025. The change was primarily attributable to a $4.1 million unrealized loss on the financial asset related to the Additional Royal Gold Agreement, compared to an unrealized gain of $42.6 million in the third quarter of 2025, and $5.3 million of study costs, primarily at the Mount Milligan Mine and Öksüt Mine.
The Company recognized income tax expense of $15.3 million in the third quarter of 2026, comprising current income tax expense of $33.1 million and deferred income tax recovery of $17.8 million, compared to income tax expense of $59.6 million in the third quarter of 2025, comprising current income tax expense of $30.6 million and deferred income tax expense of $28.9 million. The decrease in income tax expense in the third quarter of 2026 was primarily attributable to the impact of tax optimization initiatives which are expected to reduce future income taxes payable at the Mount Milligan Mine.
Nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared to September 30, 2025Revenue of $1,427.7 million was recognized in 2026 compared to $983.0 million in 2025. The increase was primarily driven by higher average realized prices for gold, copper and molybdenum, as well as higher gold ounces, copper pounds and molybdenum pounds sold.
Gold production was 214,157 ounces in 2026 compared to 204,463 ounces in 2025. Gold production in 2026 included 111,817 ounces of gold from the Mount Milligan Mine compared to 103,477 ounces in 2025. The increase at the Mount Milligan Mine was primarily due to higher gold head grades and higher throughput, partially offset by lower gold recoveries. The Öksüt Mine produced 102,340 ounces of gold in 2026 compared to 100,986 ounces of gold in 2025.
Copper production at the Mount Milligan Mine was 40.1 million pounds in 2026 compared to 37.4 million pounds in 2025. The increase in copper production was primarily attributed to higher throughput and higher copper grades, partially offset by lower recoveries.
The Langeloth Facility roasted 7.7 million pounds and sold 12.1 million pounds of molybdenum in 2026 compared to 10.6 million pounds roasted and 10.4 million pounds sold in 2025. The decrease in molybdenum roasted was due to the temporary suspension of operations following the January 29, 2026 incident. The increased sales volume in 2026 was in line with the Company's strategy to progressively ramp up volumes at the Langeloth Facility over time.
Cost of sales of $894.9 million was recognized in 2026 compared to $682.6 million recognized in 2025. The increase was primarily due to $43.8 million higher production costs at the Öksüt Mine related to higher royalty costs due to higher realized gold prices and higher royalty rates, $105.6 million higher production costs at the Langeloth Facility resulting from higher pounds of molybdenum sold and higher cost of molybdenum purchased due to higher molybdenum prices, and a $51.9 million increase in production costs at the Mount Milligan Mine due to timing of inventory sales, higher mining, milling, administrative and freight costs.
Gold production costs were $1,536 per ounce in 2026 compared to $1,312 per ounce in 2025. The increase in gold production costs per ounce was primarily due to higher royalty costs at the Öksüt Mine and higher direct production costs at the Mount Milligan Mine as noted above, partially offset by higher gold ounces sold.

Sustaining capital expendituresᴺᴳ increased to $77.9 million in 2026 from $69.5 million in 2025, primarily due to $23.1 million higher spending at the Mount Milligan Mine on construction at the existing TSF and major overhauls of the mining fleet and mill, partially offset by $15.9 million lower spending at the Öksüt Mine, mainly from lower capitalized deferred stripping costs. Non-sustaining capital expendituresᴺᴳ increased to $262.6 million in 2026 from $89.6 million in 2025, primarily due to $89.9 million higher spending at Thompson Creek as restart activities advanced, $48.6 million at Goldfield following the start of early earthworks and site preparation, and
$28.2 million higher spending at the Mount Milligan Mine on the mining fleet expansion and TSF buttress foundation construction.

Share-based compensation expenses of $33.6 million were recognized in 2026 compared to $10.9 million in 2025. The increase was primarily due to a higher share price impacting cash-settled awards.
Other operating expenses of $70.2 million were recognized in 2026 compared to other operating income of

Total assets as at September | 30, 2026 were $3,210.5 million compared to $2,958.7 million as at |
December 31, 2025. The Company's asset base is primarily comprised of non-current assets such as property, plant and equipment. Other significant assets include inventories, amounts receivable and equity investments, as well as cash and cash equivalents. The increase was primarily due to property, plant and equipment additions at the Thompson Creek Mine, the Goldfield Project and the Mount Milligan Mine, and higher molybdenum inventory at the Langeloth Facility as a result of higher inventory quantities associated with the production ramp-up and higher molybdenum prices, and higher equity investments, partially offset by lower cash and cash equivalents. Non-current equity investments increased to $176.8 million from $105.9 million as at December 31, 2025, primarily due to purchases of equity investments of $20.2 million and a
$39.8 million unrealized gain recorded in other comprehensive income ("OCI") from the increase in the market value of the equity investments portfolio.
Total liabilities as at September 30, 2026 were $992.9 million compared to $898.9 million as at December 31, 2025. The increase was primarily due to higher accounts payable and accrued liabilities and higher lease obligations, partially offset by a lower provision for reclamation. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities increased by $83.3 million to $444.0 million, mainly reflecting higher accrued capital expenditures at the Thompson Creek Mine as restart activities accelerated, timing of payments at the Mount Milligan Mine and higher accrued royalties at the Öksüt Mine.
Total equity as at September 30, 2026 was $2,217.6 million compared to $2,059.8 million as at December 31, 2025. The increase was primarily due to net earnings of $240.2 million and other comprehensive income of
$61.7 million, partially offset by the repurchase and cancellation of shares for $125.2 million under the NCIB program and dividends paid of $29.9 million.

Mount Milligan MineThe Mount Milligan Mine is an open-pit mine located in north central British Columbia, Canada, producing a gold and copper concentrate. The Mount Milligan Mine is subject to the Mount Milligan Mine Streaming Agreement. To satisfy its current obligations under the Mount Milligan Mine Streaming Agreement, the Company purchases refined gold ounces and copper warrants and arranges for delivery to Royal Gold. The difference between the cost of the purchases of refined gold ounces and copper warrants and the corresponding amounts payable to the Company under the Mount Milligan Streaming Agreement is recorded as a reduction of revenue rather than a cost of operating the mine. On February 13, 2024, the Company entered into the Additional Royal Gold Agreement, relating to the Mount Milligan Mine.

Third Quarter 2026 compared to Third Quarter 2025Earnings from mine operations of $97.5 million were recognized in the third quarter of 2026 compared to
$45.4 million in the third quarter of 2025. The increase in earnings from mine operations was primarily due to higher average realized gold and copper prices, and higher gold ounces sold, partially offset by higher production costs.
Cash provided by mine operations of $106.8 million was recognized in the third quarter of 2026 compared to
$64.1 million in the third quarter of 2025. The increase was primarily due to higher earnings from mine operations as noted above.
Free cash flow from mine operationsNG of $62.8 million was recognized in the third quarter of 2026 compared to $44.6 million in the third quarter of 2025. The increase was due to higher cash provided by mine operations as noted above, partially offset by higher non-sustaining capital expendituresNG. Non-sustaining capital expendituresNG were related to mining fleet expansion and TSF buttress foundation construction.
During the third quarter of 2026, mining activities were carried out in phases 5, 6, 7 and North Borrow of the open pit. Total tonnes mined were 12.3 million tonnes in the third quarter of 2026 compared to 12.3 million tonnes in the third quarter of 2025.
Total process plant throughput in the third quarter of 2026 was 5.6 million tonnes, averaging 60,388 tonnes per calendar day compared to 5.3 million tonnes, averaging 57,541 tonnes per calendar day in the third quarter of 2025. During the third quarter of 2025, several operational issues led to lower throughput, including unplanned crusher downtime for rebuilds, stockpile conveyor bearing failure, and downtime in the rougher flotation banks. The higher mill throughput in the third quarter of 2026 was primarily driven by a combination of softer ore and increased reliability due to the additional planned maintenance work completed during the July 2026 extended shutdown, which allowed the mill to run at increased throughput levels.
Gold production was 44,070 ounces in the third quarter of 2026 compared to 32,539 ounces in the third quarter of 2025. The increase in gold production was primarily driven by higher head grade and throughput. During the third quarter of 2026, the average gold head grade and recovery were 0.43 g/t and 58.8%, respectively, compared to 0.34 g/t and 58.6% in the third quarter of 2025.
Copper production was 12.8 million pounds in the third quarter of 2026 compared to 13.4 million pounds in the third quarter of 2025. The decrease in copper production was primarily due to lower copper head grade and recovery, partially offset by increased throughput. During the third quarter of 2026, the average copper head grade and recovery were 0.15% and 73.7%, respectively, compared to 0.16% and 75.6% in the third quarter of 2025.
Gold production costs were $1,392 per ounce in the third quarter of 2026 compared to $1,540 per ounce in the third quarter of 2025. The decrease was primarily due to higher gold ounces sold, partially offset by higher mining, processing and administrative costs. Higher mining costs were due to pit dewatering activities, higher diesel fuel costs due to increased prices and consumption, and reverse circulation ("RC") drilling activities to improve geological and mine plan confidence. Higher processing costs were due to additional SAG liner costs. Higher administrative costs were primarily due to increased camp operating costs.
Copper production costs were $2.68 per pound in the third quarter of 2026 compared to $2.11 per pound in the third quarter of 2025. The increase was primarily due to higher direct production costs.
All-in sustaining costs on a by-product basisNG were $985 per ounce in the third quarter of 2026 compared to
$1,461 per ounce in the third quarter of 2025. The decrease was primarily due to lower production costs per ounce, and higher copper credits from higher realized copper prices, partially offset by higher sustaining capital expendituresNG. Higher sustaining capital expendituresNG in the third quarter of 2026 were primarily driven by differences in the timing of spending on the mining fleet and mill major overhauls compared to the third quarter of 2025.

Nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared to September 30, 2025Earnings from mine operations of $264.2 million were recognized in 2026 compared to $128.2 million in 2025. The increase in earnings from mine operations was primarily due to higher average realized gold and copper prices, higher gold ounces and copper pounds sold, and higher realized silver prices, partially offset by higher production costs.
Cash provided by mine operations of $349.0 million was recognized in 2026 compared to $160.7 million in 2025. The increase was primarily due to higher average realized gold and copper prices, higher gold ounces and copper pounds sold, and a favourable working capital change, partially offset by higher production costs. The favourable working capital change in 2026 compared to 2025 was primarily related to the timing of sales and cash collection from shipments.
Free cash flow from mine operationsNG of $257.7 million was recognized in 2026 compared to $114.8 million in 2025. The increase was primarily due to higher cash provided by mine operations as explained above, partially offset by higher capital expendituresNG. Non-sustaining capital expendituresNG increased in 2026 compared to 2025 due to spending on mining fleet expansion and TSF buttress foundation construction.
During 2026, mining activities were carried out in phases 5, 6, 7 and North Borrow of the open pit. Total tonnes mined were 36.5 million tonnes in 2026 compared to 35.7 million tonnes mined in 2025. The increase in tonnage was attributable to the addition of incremental haulage capacity in 2026.
The process plant throughput was 15.9 million tonnes in 2026, averaging 58,237 tonnes per calendar day compared to 15.3 million tonnes in 2025, averaging 56,157 tonnes per calendar day. Higher throughput was driven by increased equipment reliability, resulting in fewer significant slowdown events.
Gold production was 111,817 ounces in 2026 compared to 103,477 ounces in 2025. The increase was primarily due to higher head grade and increased throughput, partially offset by lower recoveries. During 2026, the average gold grade was 0.37 g/t and recoveries were 60.3% compared to 0.35 g/t and 60.9%, respectively, in 2025.
Total copper production was 40.1 million pounds in 2026 compared to 37.4 million pounds in 2025. The increase was primarily due to higher head grade and throughput, partially offset by lower recovery. During 2026, the average copper head grade was 0.16% and recoveries were 74.2% compared to 0.15% and 76.7%, respectively, in 2025. Lower recovery was mainly due to complex mineralogy, specifically finer grain size in the feed, which reduced recovery earlier in the year.
Gold production costs were $1,474 per ounce in 2026 compared to $1,423 per ounce in 2025. The increase was primarily due to higher direct production costs, partially offset by higher gold ounces sold. Production costs increased primarily due to higher mining, milling and freight costs. Higher mining costs were driven by increased pit dewatering activities, higher diesel fuel costs due to higher prices and consumption, and RC drilling activities. Higher milling costs were attributable to the extended shutdown in July and higher cyclone rental costs. Freight costs increased due to higher concentrate volumes transported and higher freight rates.
Copper production costs were $2.49 per pound in 2026 compared to $2.13 per pound in 2025. The increase was primarily due to higher production costs and higher allocation of costs to copper production costs due to relative changes in the market price of gold and copper, partially offset by higher copper pounds sold.
All-in sustaining costs on a by-product basisNG were $1,103 per ounce in 2026 compared to $1,298 per ounce in 2025. The decrease was primarily due to higher copper credits from higher realized copper prices and copper pounds sold, partially offset by higher production costs per ounce and higher sustaining capital expendituresNG. Higher sustaining capital expendituresNG in 2026 were primarily driven by higher spending on mining and mill major overhauls compared to 2025.

Third Quarter 2026 compared to Third Quarter 2025In the third quarter of 2026, Thompson Creek Mine moved 12.1 million tons compared to 8.3 million tons in the third quarter of 2025. In the third quarter of 2026, the mining rate achieved an average of 4.0 million tons per month and mining activities focused on stripping on the western side of the pit and the Union Gap area in the north. Mining rates remained relatively consistent between the second and third quarter of 2026. As tons increased over the course of 2026, cost per ton continued to decline and stabilize in 2026 compared to prior periods. In the third quarter of 2026, the Thompson Creek Mine was not significantly impacted by the rise in global fuel prices, supported by its diesel hedging program.

The key milestones completed in the third quarter of 2026 included:
Procurement: shipped most long-lead equipment packages that have now arrived at site;
Installation: installed two-thirds of the flotation bank tanks and agitators, set the Jameson Cell quadrants and launder, and received the thickener on site, with remaining installation continuing;
Refurbishment: progressed conveyor, motor and gearbox refurbishment and the crusher shaft rebuild to support restart readiness;
Power: completed the E-house concrete piers and structural steel and six of seven mill motor cable pulls, with the variable frequency drives at the E-house fabrication shop and E-house shipment on track;
Tailings: substantially completed the toe berm and the SRD HDPE pipeline installation, completed other dam remediation activities, and advanced sand distribution pipeline installation and jacking header refurbishment to approximately 80% complete; and
Readiness: advanced pre-commissioning and operational readiness, including legacy system testing, training planning and operating procedures.
As of September 30, 2026, $337.3 million had been spent on the restart of the Thompson Creek Mine, with approximately 65% of physical infrastructure completed. The project remains on track for first production in mid-2027, consistent with the Thompson Creek feasibility study published in 2024. In the third quarter of 2026, the Company incurred non-sustaining capital expendituresNG of $81.2 million.
In the third quarter of 2026, additions to PP&E were $74.9 million compared to $36.2 million in the third quarter of 2025, and non-sustaining capital expendituresNG were $81.2 million in the third quarter of 2026 compared to $31.4 million in the third quarter of 2025. The difference between additions to PP&E and non-sustaining capital expendituresNG in the third quarter of 2026 primarily reflects movements in the asset retirement obligation and capitalized DDA. The increase in both categories was due to the higher capital spending on mill refurbishments, the tailings distribution system, and expenditures related to pre-stripping activities in the main open pit area and other general costs during the third quarter of 2026.
Free cash flow deficit from operationsNG of $55.2 million was recognized in the third quarter of 2026, compared to $37.3 million in the third quarter of 2025. The increase was due to higher capital expendituresNG as outlined above.
Nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared to September 30, 2025In 2026, the Thompson Creek Mine moved 34.0 million tons compared to 19.9 million tons in 2025. The mining rate increased to an average of 3.8 million tons per month, compared to 2.2 million tons per month in 2025. The increase in total tons moved was primarily due to improved mining equipment availability and utilization, as well as the addition of a new shovel to the fleet in 2026.
Additions to PP&E were $193.0 million in 2026 compared to $94.8 million in 2025, and non-sustaining capital expendituresNG were $173.6 million in 2026 compared to $83.7 million in 2025. The difference between additions to PP&E and non-sustaining capital expendituresNG in 2026 primarily reflects movements in the asset retirement obligation, ROU assets and capitalized DDA. The increase in both categories was due to higher capital spending on mill refurbishments, the tailings distribution system, and expenditures related to pre-stripping activities in the main open pit area and other general costs in 2026.
Free cash flow deficit from operationsNG of $138.9 million was recorded in 2026 compared to $90.6 million in 2025. The increase was due to higher additions to PP&E, as outlined above.

Third Quarter 2026 compared to Third Quarter 2025The Langeloth Facility roasted 2.8 million pounds and sold 4.6 million pounds of molybdenum in the third quarter of 2026, compared to 4.4 million pounds roasted and 3.1 million pounds sold in the third quarter of 2025. The increase in molybdenum sold was in line with plans to progressively increase volumes. The decrease in molybdenum roasted in the third quarter of 2026, compared to the third quarter of 2025, was primarily due to the timing of concentrate purchases between the periods as well as a higher proportion of molybdenum products purchased that do not require roasting in order to produce end products required for certain customer orders.
Net earnings were $15.1 million in the third quarter of 2026 compared to nil in the third quarter of 2025. The increase was primarily due to higher pounds of molybdenum sold and a higher margin on the sale of molybdenum products, resulting from higher market prices and a relatively lower weighted average cost per pound of inventory sold. The lower weighted average cost per pound reflects inventory accumulated at lower market prices in prior periods.
Adjusted EBITDANG of $16.5 million was recognized in the third quarter of 2026 compared to $1.1 million in the third quarter of 2025. The increase was primarily due to the higher margin on the sale of molybdenum products and higher pounds sold, as discussed above.
Cash provided by operations was $2.9 million in the third quarter of 2026 compared to cash used in operations of $13.6 million in the third quarter of 2025, even after accounting for costs of $0.3 million related to the settlement of a legacy labour matter. The increase was primarily due to the higher margin on the sale of molybdenum products as discussed above.

Free cash flow from operationsNG was $1.7 million in the third quarter of 2026 compared to a free cash flow deficit from operationsNG of $13.9 million in the third quarter of 2025. The increase was primarily due to higher cash provided by operations, discussed above.
Nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared to September 30, 2025The Langeloth Facility roasted 7.7 million pounds and sold 12.1 million pounds of molybdenum in 2026 compared to 10.6 million pounds roasted and 10.4 million pounds sold in 2025. The increase in molybdenum sold was in line with plans to progressively increase volumes. Molybdenum roasted was lower mainly due to the temporary suspension of operations following the January 29, 2026 incident. The suspension of roasting operations limited the Company's ability to convert molybdenum concentrate into molybdenum products. While the Langeloth Facility continued to sell finished molybdenum products during the period, the suspension of roasting operations constrained overall production capacity.
Net earnings were $11.7 million in 2026 compared to a net loss of $1.8 million in 2025. The increase in net earnings was primarily due to a higher margin on the sale of molybdenum products, resulting from higher market prices and a relatively lower weighted average cost per pound of inventory sold. The lower weighted average cost per pound reflects inventory accumulated at lower market prices in prior periods. This was partially offset by $6.5 million of standby costs, net of insurance proceeds, during the temporary suspension of roasting operations and cost of $3.9 million to settle a legacy labour matter.
Adjusted EBITDANG of $18.9 million was recognized in 2026 compared to $1.4 million in 2025. The increase was primarily due to the higher margin on the sale of molybdenum products and higher by-product sales.
Cash used in operations was $117.5 million in 2026 compared to $15.2 million in 2025. The increase was primarily due to an unfavourable working capital movement, reflecting an inventory build-up needed to sustain current operations and current sales levels and a higher unit cost of inventory, as molybdenum prices increased from $21.87 per pound as at September 30, 2025 to $29.48 per pound as at September 30, 2026. A $5 per pound change in molybdenum price has an approximate $25 million impact on working capital invested. At September 30, 2026, there were 6.9 million (December 31, 2025 - 5.4 million) pounds of molybdenum included in inventory.
Free cash flow deficit from operationsNG was $119.6 million in 2026 compared to $16.1 million in 2025. The increase was primarily due to higher cash used in operations, as outlined above.

Exploration
Exploration activities during the quarter included drilling, surface rock and soil sampling, geological mapping, and geophysical surveying across the Company's projects and earn-in properties, targeting gold and copper mineralization in Canada, Türkiye, and the United States. Work was primarily concentrated at the Mount Milligan Mine and the Kemess Project in British Columbia, the Goldfield Project in Nevada, the Öksüt Mine in Türkiye, and early-stage greenfield projects in Canada, USA and Türkiye. Project evaluation expenditures during the quarter were mainly directed toward the Goldfield Project in Nevada and the Kemess Project in British Columbia.
Mount Milligan:
At the Mount Milligan Mine, the 2026 drilling program continued, with a total of 31,822 metres completed across 100 diamond drill holes. The program is focused on infill drilling within the current ultimate open-pit boundary, while also continuing to evaluate targets with potential for shallower porphyry-style gold-copper mineralization and high-grade gold, low-copper mineralization peripheral to the existing pits.
Partial and complete assay results received to date continue to confirm gold-copper mineralization within the pit area, including significant intercepts from the northern zones (Oliver and EMBX) and along the western margins of the current ultimate pit (Goldmark and Saddle West).
Öksüt Mine:
As part of the Life of Mine Optimization Study, an infill drilling program was designed to evaluate potential mineralization extensions within pit shells optimized at a higher gold price assumption. The program comprises approximately 22,700 metres of planned drilling across 67 drill hole locations. To date, 49 drill holes totaling 16,254 metres have been completed. The program is ongoing with six drill rigs currently operating and additional drill holes in progress. In parallel, a detailed geological review has identified several priority targets that will be tested following completion of the infill drilling phase.
Goldfield:
During the third quarter of 2026, exploration activities at the Goldfield Project focused on planning for the fourth quarter drilling program across several priority targets and advancing permitting efforts. Additional short-wave infrared sampling and alteration characterization of surface samples and drill core were also conducted to support target refinement and geological interpretation.
Kemess Project:
At the Kemess Project, for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, a total of 13,317 metres from 55 drill holes were completed. The drilling campaign forms part of an integrated infill and exploration program focused on upgrading resource classifications within the proposed Kemess Main open-pit area.
