The words "intends", "continue", "may", "will", and similar expressions identify forward-looking information. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements with respect to Centerra's intentions to continue paying quarterly dividends.

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, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies.
