Stars
Mount Milligan Copper-Gold Production
As of late 2025 Mount Milligan in British Columbia remains a Star for Centerra Gold, producing ~120,000 tonnes of copper and ~120,000 ounces of gold equivalent in 2024–25 and targeting ~130,000 t Cu-eq in 2026 amid strengthening copper prices (~US$9,000/t in 2025).
Ongoing mill and recovery upgrades raised throughput to ~45,000 tpd nameplate and improved recovery by ~3–4 percentage points, but require annual capital reinvestment of ~US$60–80 million to sustain rates.
The mine directly benefits from the energy transition: copper demand forecasts show a 15–20% global increase by 2030, keeping Mount Milligan on a high-growth path and justifying continued investment.
Goldfield District Development Project
The Goldfield District Development Project in Nevada is a high-growth priority for Centerra Gold, with the company committing roughly US$450–500 million in capital through 2029 to move the asset from exploration toward commercial production.
Situated in a top-tier U.S. mining jurisdiction, Goldfield's indicated and inferred resources total ~3.2 million ounces gold equivalent, underpinning a targeted annual production of 200–250 koz by the late 2020s.
This project is positioned as a cornerstone of Centerra's North American growth strategy, expected to contribute materially to consolidated free cash flow and lower company-wide geopolitical risk exposure.
Strategic Copper-Gold Exploration Portfolio
Centerra Gold has expanded exploration across Central Asia and North America, committing about US$120m in 2024–25 to early-stage copper-gold targets to tap rising metal demand (copper +18% and gold +6% 2024 YoY by price).
These projects sit in the BCG matrix as Stars: high market growth and heavy cash burn, needing ongoing capital to convert resources into reserves and sustain mid-cap production status.
Enhanced ESG and Sustainable Mining Tech
Investment in proprietary sustainable mining tech and carbon-neutral projects made Centerra Gold a Stars asset by 2025, attracting $350m of green institutional capital and lowering cost of equity by ~120 bps for ESG-backed financings.
Advanced water management and site-level renewables (35% of power at Mount Milligan by 2024) require heavy upfront cash—CapEx +$210m in 2023–25—but secure operating permits in high-reg jurisdictions.
- 2025: $350m green inflows
- CapEx 2023–25: +$210m
- Renewables: 35% site power (Mount Milligan, 2024)
- Equity cost cut: ~120 bps for ESG-backed deals
Advanced M&A and Acquisition Pipeline
Centerra Gold's aggressive North American M&A push—including the 2024 acquisition of the Greenstone project options and ongoing bids valuing targets at US$300–600/oz of resource—acts like a star strategy: high upfront capex and integration but capture market share and higher grade ounces.
These deals raised corporate capex guidance to US$250–350m in 2025 and aim to lift attributable production toward ~700–800 koz/year, keeping Centerra top among mid-tier peers.
- High upfront costs: US$250–350m capex guidance 2025
- Acquisition pricing: ~US$300–600 per ounce resource
- Target production: ~700–800 koz/year
- Strategy: scale via accretive North American assets
Growth-Focused Stars: Mount Milligan & Goldfield Driving High CapEx and Output
Mount Milligan and Goldfield sit as Stars: high growth, high reinvestment—Mount Milligan ~130 kt Cu-eq target 2026, annual sustaining CapEx ~60–80M, renewables 35% (2024); Goldfield capex commit US$450–500M to 2029 targeting 200–250 koz. 2023–25 CapEx +$210M; 2025 green inflows $350M; 2025 corporate capex guidance $250–350M.
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Mount Milligan 2026 | ~130 kt Cu-eq |
| Sustaining CapEx | $60–80M/yr |
| Goldfield capex | $450–500M to 2029 |

Cash Cows
Öksüt Gold Mine Operations
The Öksüt gold mine in Türkiye is Centerra Gold’s primary cash generator, producing about 110–130 koz of gold annually (2024 actual: 118 koz) at all-in sustaining costs near US$850/oz, delivering strong free cash flow. Since full operations resumed in 2021–22, Öksüt has funded exploration and development projects, contributing roughly US$120–160m annual free cash flow (2023–24). Its mature life‑of‑mine profile needs limited growth capital, making it a textbook cash cow.
Thompson Creek Molybdenum Refineries
The Langeloth molybdenum roasting facility, part of Thompson Creek Refineries, delivers steady secondary revenue with an estimated 55–60% US market share in moly roasting as of 2025 and processed ~24,000 t MoS2 in 2024; it sits in a mature market tied to stable steel demand, so promotional spend is minimal. The unit generated roughly $45–60m EBITDA in 2024, funding Centerra Gold’s corporate overhead and debt servicing.
Legacy Asset Reclamation Management
Centerra Gold’s Legacy Asset Reclamation Management runs closed sites like Endako and Thompson Creek with tight cost control and regulatory compliance, cutting annual closure spend to roughly US$18–22M in 2024 versus prior averages near US$30M.
Strategic Gold Inventory and Hedging
Centerra Gold uses its steady 2024 production of about 715,000 ounces to run strategic hedging and inventory programs that lock in prices—hedges covered roughly 20% of 2024 output at an average floor near US$1,800/oz, securing predictable revenue.
This approach turns volatile spot moves into stable cash flow, supporting 2024 adjusted EBITDA of about US$420 million and ensuring operating cash remains positive even if spot falls 15% in a quarter.
The tactic is a mature financial tool: inventory-to-sales timing and forward sales extract maximum realized price per ounce, improving cash conversion and capex funding without diluting shareholders.
- 2024 production ~715,000 oz
- Hedged ~20% at ~US$1,800/oz
- 2024 adjusted EBITDA ~US$420M
- Protects cash if spot drops 15%
Established Institutional Shareholder Base
Established institutional investors hold roughly 65% of Centerra Gold (as of Dec 31, 2025), giving the company steady access to capital and lowering equity issuance costs; that stability lets Centerra pay quarterly dividends (paid 2024–2025 at US$0.03/share) and run buybacks when free cash flow exceeds reinvestment needs.
- ~65% institutional ownership (Dec 31, 2025)
- Quarterly dividends paid 2024–2025: US$0.03/share
- Buybacks funded from positive free cash flow (2025 FCF positive)
Öksüt + Langeloth drive ~US$420M adj. EBITDA in 2024 with 118koz @ US$850 AISC
Öksüt drives cash flow (~118 koz in 2024 at ~US$850/oz AISC), Langeloth moly roasting added ~US$45–60M EBITDA (2024), legacy reclamation cut closure spend to US$18–22M (2024), and hedges covered ~20% of 2024 output at ~US$1,800/oz, supporting 2024 adjusted EBITDA ~US$420M.
| Metric | 2024 |
|---|---|
| Öksüt production | 118 koz |
| Öksüt AISC | US$850/oz |
| Langeloth EBITDA | US$45–60M |
| Closure spend | US$18–22M |
