These forward-looking statements relate to, among other things, the activities of the Kyrgyz Republic Government with respect to the State Commission report, Centerra's expectations regarding constructive dialogue with the Prime Minister of the Kyrgyz Republic and the Company's ability to resolve matters relating to the State Commission report without material adverse consequences to the Company's operations.

Although the forward-looking information in this news release reflects Centerra's current beliefs as of the date of this news release based on information currently available to management and based upon what management believes to be reasonable assumptions, Centerra cannot be certain that actual results, performance, achievements, prospects and opportunities, either expressed or implied will be consistent with such forward-looking information. 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. Known and unknown factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking information.

Other factors that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from current expectations include, among other things: political risks in the Kyrgyz Republic, the Company's ability to enforce its legal rights, the sensitivity of Centerra's business to the volatility of gold and base metal prices; risks associated with having a significant shareholder, and risks relating to Centerra directors having conflicts of interests. There may be other factors that cause results, assumptions, performance, achievements, prospects or opportunities in future periods not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. See "Risk Factors" in the Company's most recently filed Annual Information Form available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

There can be no assurances that forward-looking information and statements will prove to be accurate, as many factors and future events, both known and unknown could cause actual results, performance or achievements to vary or differ materially from the results, performance or achievements that are or may be expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements contained in this news release. Accordingly, all such factors should be considered carefully when making decisions with respect to Centerra, and prospective investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking information. Forward-looking information is as of January 25, 2013. Centerra assumes no obligation to update or revise forward-looking information to reflect changes in assumptions, changes in circumstances or any other events affecting such forward-looking information, except as required by applicable law.
