| Statement |

| This provides us with total liquidity over $1 billion and positions the company well to execute on our strategic plan and deliver shareholder value |
| Moving on to Centerra's performance, we delivered a strong finish to 2023, achieving both production and cost guidance for the year |
| Ryan has been with us for almost two years as VP of Finance and is very well positioned for this new opportunity |
| I'd also like to highlight annual record performance at Mount Milligan in both the mine and the plant |
| We're expecting a solid 2024 with a high gold production compared to last year, and we expect to continue to generate strong cash flow from our operations |
| We are encouraged by the preliminary cash flow improvement estimates from the first phase of work on this program, and we expect to start realizing the benefits of the program later this year |
| The fourth quarter was our second consecutive quarter of significant free cash flow |
| He's built a strong financial position for the company with over $1 billion of liquidity, no debt, and has set us up for a successful CFO transition |
| Öksüt closed out the year with a second consecutive quarter of strong performance |
| To date, we started to see evidence of this continually improved safety performance in the fourth quarter and year-to-date |
| The other key element here is we have improved on the throughput on the front end on the secondary crush |
| Given our strong financial position, the Board declared a quarterly dividend of $0.07 per share |
| Full year all-in sustaining costs were $1,156 per ounce, beating the guidance range |
| This milestone demonstrates our priority to the safety of our workforce and our commitment to the journey towards achieving zero harm |
| Fourth quarter was our second consecutive quarter of significant free cash flow, and we ended the year with over $600 million in cash and cash equivalents |
| The team has been fully engaged and is dedicated to enhancing the culture for continuous improvement through this important initiative |
| And my second question is, I don't know if you can give guidance on this, and obviously, congratulations on the very good free cash flow, we're still working through inventory at Öksüt, but we know all the ADR stuff, which was very cheap on a cash basis has gone |
| In 2024, we expect to produce between 370,000 ounces and 410,000 ounces of gold, which is 11% higher than last year, and copper production is expected to be between 55 million and 65 million pounds of copper |
| Looking ahead, in 2024, we expect Mount Milligan to produce 180,000 to 200,000 ounces of payable gold, which is 23% higher than last year, mainly due to mine sequencing and higher gold grade |
| Paul Tomory And that's why we've guided to the higher proportion of production coming from the first half of the year because we're still benefiting from those inventory ounces |
| In the fourth quarter, our cash balance grew by $121 million to $613 million |
| This was a collaborative effort with team members from ESG, occupational health and safety, process, maintenance and construction departments working together to achieve this significant milestone |
| Fourth quarter production was over 88,000 ounces and full year production was almost 196,000 ounces, achieving the midpoint of the guidance range |
| In the year ahead, we expect to continue to deliver on our strategic plan to maximize the value of the assets in our portfolio |
| For 2023, Mount Milligan achieved annual records for total tonnes mined and plant throughput at over 50 million tonnes mined and 21.7 million tonnes processed, respectively |
| In early January, Öksüt successfully attained certification for the Institute, confirming complete adherence to the International Cyanide Management Code |
| This is a key first step in our strategy to realize the full potential of this cornerstone asset in a top-tier mining jurisdiction |
| We wish Darren and his family all the best as they relocate back home to Australia |
| And finally, we're continuing to advance site-wide optimization program, assessing all aspects of the operation to maximize the potential of the ore body to set Mount Milligan up for long-term success to 2035 and beyond |
| The Mount Milligan mine produced over 40,000 ounces of gold and almost 20 million pounds of copper in the fourth quarter, achieving 2023 production guidance ranges for both gold and copper |

| However, the Molybdenum Business Unit as a whole had a free cash flow deficit of $9 million in the fourth quarter |
| In the quarter, we incurred a net loss of $28.8 million or a loss of $0.13 per share |
| Now that doesn't mean that there aren't near-term continuous improvement type things we can do on recovery |
