Centerra is currently in discussions with the Mongolian Government regarding the development of the Gatsuurt property. Centerra is reasonably confident that the economic and development benefits resulting from its exploration and development activities will ultimately result in the Water and Forest Law having a limited impact on the Gatsuurt property, in particular, and other Company's Mongolian activities including ATO. There can be no assurance, however, that this will be the case. Unless the Water and Forest Law is repealed or amended such that the law no longer applies to the Gatsuurt project or Gatsuurt is designated as a "mineral deposit of strategic importance" that is exempt from the Water and Forest Law, mineral reserves at Gatsuurt may have to be reclassified as mineral resources or eliminated entirely and the Company may be required to write-off the associated investment in Gatsuurt and Boroo.

As at December 31, 2012, the Company had net assets recorded amounting to approximately $37 million related to the investment in Gatsuurt and approximately $28 million remaining capitalized for the Boroo mill facility and other surface structures which are expected to be utilized for the processing of ore from Gatsuurt. Although the Company expects to exploit the Gatsuurt deposit, should this not be the case, the Company would be required to write-off these amounts. A revocation of the Company's mineral licenses, including the Gatsuurt mineral license, or the reclassification of mineral reserves or the write-off of assets could have an adverse impact on Centerra's future cash flows, earnings, results of operations or financial condition. For a further discussion relating to the Water and Forest Law, please see the Company's Annual Information Form for 2011.

The Boroo Heap Leach

Boroo received regulatory approval for the mine plan for the heap leach facility in September 2012. As a result, Boroo recommenced heap leach operations in the fourth quarter of 2012.

Enforcement Notice by Sistem:

As previously disclosed, in March 2011, Centerra was served by a Turkish company, Sistem Muhenkislik Insaat Sanayi Ticaret SA ("Sistem"), with a notice of enforcement to seize any shares and dividends in Centerra held in the name of the Kyrgyz Republic, followed by a notice of garnishment in April 2011 for any debts owed by Centerra to the Kyrgyz Republic. These notices were served by Sistem as part of the enforcement proceedings brought by Sistem in the Ontario Superior Court to collect approximately US$11 million with additional interest, owed to Sistem by the Kyrgyz Republic in accordance with a judgment of the Ontario Superior Court enforcing an international arbitration award against the Kyrgyz Republic. In these Ontario proceedings, Sistem alleges that the shares in Centerra owned by Kyrgyzaltyn and any dividends paid in respect of those shares, are in fact legally and beneficially owned by the Kyrgyz Republic and are therefore subject to execution to pay the judgment.

Based on legal advice received, Centerra disputes those allegations and paid to Kyrgyzaltyn its portion of Centerra dividends payable on May 18, 2011 (approximately C$31 million) and on May 31, 2012 (approximately C$3 million). Sistem is continuing with its claim regarding the Centerra shares owned by Kyrgyzaltyn. If this claim is successful in the Ontario court proceedings, Sistem may have a right to execute its judgment against those shares and may assert a claim against Centerra in respect of the payment of the dividends to Kyrgyzaltyn. However, Centerra believes it has a strong defense to that claim based on the facts and the law.
