CENTAMIN GROUP RESOURCE & RESERVE UPDATE 2023

Reserves increased by 28% to 7.7Moz, including 10% growth at Sukari versus new
life of mine plan

 

Martin Horgan, CEO, commented: "Our improved geological understanding at
Sukari has enabled a 500 thousand ounce increase in reserves over the 5.3
million ounce reserve estimated in the recently published LOM plan. Since 2020
we have delivered 3.5 million ounces of Mineral Reserve growth, before mining
depletion, exceeding our 3 million ounce target. This has been driven by
reserve growth of almost 1.6 million ounces at Sukari and a maiden 1.9 million
ounce reserve at Doropo.

The progress made in 2023 is testament to the geological opportunity within
our portfolio, the quality of Centamin's  geological leadership team and
investment in our orebodies. During the first half of 2024, we will release
the results of the maiden drilling campaign across our Egyptian exploration
portfolio and will also aim to publish the updated reserve numbers for Doropo
as part of the ongoing DFS."

Centamin is pleased to announce its annual update of Group Mineral Resources
and Reserves, comprising of the Sukari Gold Mine ("Sukari") in Egypt and the
Doropo Gold Project ("Doropo") and ABC Project ("ABC") in Côte d'Ivoire.

MINERAL RESOURCE & RESERVE STATEMENTS

The Mineral Resource and Reserve data presented in the tables included in this
document comprise of summary extracts of the respective technical reports. For
comparative purposes, data for 2022 has been included. The significant figures
used in the table are intended to reflect the level of accuracy of the
different resource classifications reported. Numbers have been rounded and
therefore there may be small differences in the totals.

SUKARI GOLD MINE, EGYPT

Mineral Resource Estimate

As at 30 June 2023, the Sukari Mineral Resources (inclusive of Mineral
Reserves) were 10.3Moz of contained gold, reflecting a 8% decrease in M&I
resource ounces, compared with 2022 ("YoY"). The change in ounces YoY is the
result of mining depletion, a significantly improved open pit design as per
the new LOM Plan, and transitioning of the resource modelling from external
consultants to in-house, managed by Centamin's Mineral Resource Management
department.

Our improved geological understanding has resulted in an in-house model which
better reflects the known distribution of mineralisation consequently
improving its application for mine planning. Enhancements to the
classification process have resulted in a redistribution of the Mineral
Resource estimate between the Measured and Indicated categories, primarily
within the open pit. The goal remains to continue improving our understanding
of the orebody and increase the classification of Indicated to Measured. This
will be done largely through advanced grade control drilling to further
support near term mine planning.

Cut-off grades have been clearly stated, along with the gold price assumption
of US$2,000/oz, both of which remain unchanged for the Mineral Resource
estimate. A total of 297,600 metres of drilling was completed between June
2022 and June 2023, divided between open pit (67%) and underground (33%) with
the open pit resource model externally audited by H&S Consultants Pty Ltd.

In 2024, the primary focus will be on expanding resources in the underground
sector, concentrating on converting Inferred resources to Measured and
Indicated categories to offset mining depletion. The strategy involves ongoing
underground target generation, leveraging geological interpretation and
structural modelling. Furthermore, drilling will be conducted on identified
targets from designated exploration drives, aiming to augment Inferred
resources to the south of Horus and Horus Deeps where mineralization remains
open.  In the open pit, the drilling program will prioritize grade control.
Advanced grade control initiatives will specifically target Sukari Hill,
encompassing stage 7, and stage 8, which currently represents the ultimate pit
shell.

Mineral Reserve Estimate

As at 30 June 2023, the Sukari Mineral Reserves were 5.8Moz of contained gold,
reflecting a 4% decrease YoY driven by 0.52Moz of mining depletion partially
offset by 0.24Moz of Mineral Reserve growth. Reserve growth came from both the
open pit and underground, with the open pit increase resulting from the
changes in modelling, and underground growth from improved continuity in Bast
and Amun and an increase in reserves in deeper sections of the orebody in
Horus.

The gold price assumption used for estimating Mineral Reserves is unchanged at
US$1,450/oz. Based on the planned throughput and mining rates, the remaining
Sukari Mineral Reserve life is 13 years for the open pit operation, including
stockpiles, and 8 years for the underground operation. As outlined in the Life
of Mine Plan, we will continue to investigate various optimisation and upside
opportunities within the open pit around waste deposition strategy, slope
angle optimisation and the potential for dump leaching sub grade ore as well
as processing recovery optimisation and expansion of the existing solar plant.

DOROPO PROJECT, COTE D'IVOIRE

Mineral Resource Estimate

As at 31 October 2023, the Doropo Mineral Resource estimate (inclusive of
Mineral Reserves) of 3.1Moz of contained gold, was a 23% increase in M&I
Resource ounces, compared to 2022 ("YoY"). All Mineral Resources are contained
within open pits.

The DFS drilling phase has been mostly concluded, with only a limited amount
of sterilisation drilling left to complete. A total of 49,831 metres of
drilling was completed between October 2022 and October 2023, and focused on
converting Inferred [to M&I Resources] within the resource pit shells,
confirming reserve pit depths and initial grade control drilling. The grade
control drilling was conducted for planning and optimisation purposes. This
programme resulted in a maiden Measured Resource classification at largely
consistent or higher grades than the deposits respective Indicated Resources.

Cut-off grades were lowered from 0.5g/t to 0.3g/t to account for the Mineral
Reserves, as detailed below, in the oxide material which are approximately
0.4g/t. The gold price assumption for Mineral Resource estimates was unchanged
at US$2,000/oz.

Study work is ongoing with publication of the DFS expected in mid-2024.

Sukari Gold Mine, Egypt

Mineral Resource Notes

Open Pit

In respect of the Sukari open pit Mineral Resource, the estimate was performed
by Centamin and audited by H&S Consultants Pty Ltd ("H&SC"):

·      Centamin depleted the 2023 open pit Multiple Indicator Kriging
("MIK") Mineral Resource estimate for Sukari as at 30 June 2023, within a
whittle pit shell generated by Centamin at a gold price of US$2,000/oz

·      The estimation methodology of  MIK employed in preparing the
Mineral Resource is consistent with the 2022 estimate, using the reporting
cut-off grade of 0.3g/t Au

·      All open pit Mineral Resources are estimates of recoverable
tonnes and grades using MIK with block support correction produced in the
Vulcan software

·      Measured Resources lie in areas where drilling is available at a
nominal 25 x 25 metre spacing, Indicated Resources occur in areas drilled at
approximately 25 x 50 metre spacing and Inferred resources exist in areas of
broader spaced drilling

·      The open pit Mineral Resource estimate at a 0.3g/t Au cut-off
grade extends over a strike length of approximately 2.5 kilometres, a width of
500 metres and from current surface to a depth of 900 metres

·      The open pit Mineral Resource estimate used diamond, reverse
circulation, open pit and underground grade control and advanced grade control
drilling, while underground face samples were excluded with the dataset being
closed off as at 30 June 2023. The open-pit resource dataset comprised
1,325,028 two and a half metre drill hole composites

·      The Mineral Resource estimates were adjusted to the mining
surface and underground mining voids as at 30 June 2023, and includes some
material that could be mined by underground methods.

Underground

In respect of the Sukari underground Mineral Resource, the estimate was
performed by Centamin and audited by Cube Consulting Pty Ltd:

·      The model has been developed utilising additional drilling
(90,201 metres) and geological information at a consistent domain cut-off
grade of 0.5g/t Au with a cut-off date of 30 June 2023

·      The estimation methodology of Ordinary Kriging ("OK") employed in
preparing the updated underground Mineral Resource is consistent with the 2022
estimate, using the reporting cut-off grade of 1.0g/t Au

·      The Sukari underground Mineral Resources are defined below the
US$2,000/oz open pit shell and combined with the open pit Mineral Resources to
provide an overall Sukari Mineral Resource estimate

·      All underground Mineral Resources are estimated using OK and
Vulcan software

·      Measured Resources lie in areas where drilling is available on at
least 20 x 20 metre spacing and the interpreted mineralisation defined by
underground mine development. Indicated Resources occur in areas drilled at 50
x 25 metre spacing and Inferred Resources exist in areas of broader spaced
drilling of 100 x 50 metre spacing

·      The underground Mineral Resource estimate at a 1.0g/t Au cut-off
grade is unconstrained and extends over a strike length of approximately2.5
kilometres, a width of approximately500 metres and from current surface to a
depth of approximately1,200 metres

·      All available surface drilling, channel and underground samples
were used as at 30 June 2023. The resource dataset used in the Mineral
Resource estimate comprised of a total of:

o  1,289,193 one metre down hole drilling composites

o  320,007 one metre down hole channel sample composites, and

o  3,061,620 two and a half metre down hole drilling composites.

·      The Mineral Resource estimates were adjusted for the mining of
surface and underground voids as at 30 June 2023

·      Open Pit, underground and course ore stockpile material have been
reported at a cut-off of 0.4g/t Au.

MINERAL Reserve Notes

·      Mineral Reserve estimates were calculated using a US$1,450/oz
gold price

·      A new LOM production schedule and cash flow was produced using
only the P&P Mineral Reserves to demonstrate economic viability.

Open pit

·      Open pit cut-off grade for reporting of 0.4g/t Au for mill
processing with dump leach defined above 0.2g/t Au cut-off

·      Open pit design is based on a cut-off of 0.4g/t Au for M&I
Mineral Resources only

·      M&I Mineral Resources inside the designed open pit was
converted to P&P Mineral Reserves

·      Open pit Mineral Reserve estimate includes 8.3Mt at 0.4g/t Au for
0.1Moz gold, using a 0.2g/t Au cut-off grade, for dump leach material.

Underground

·      Underground cut-off grade for reporting of 1.0g/t Au for
development with stopes defined within a 2.2g/t Au cut-off.

Doropo Project, Cote d'Ivoire

Mineral Resource Notes

·      Mineral Resource estimate is based on available data as at 31(st)
October 2023

·      The gold grade estimation method is OK  with Localised Uniform
Conditioning

·      The rounding of tonnage and grade figures has resulted in some
columns showing relatively minor discrepancies in sum totals

·      All Mineral Resource estimates have been determined and reported
in accordance with NI 43-101 and the classification adopted by the CIM
Definition Standards for Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves (CIM, 2014)

·      A cut-off grade of 0.3 g/t gold is used to account for reserves
in the oxide material which are around 0.4g/t

·      The Mineral Resource cut-off grade of 0.5g/t was established
prior to the PFS study, confirming the economic viability of a smaller portion
of lower-grade oxide resources. As Centamin proceeds with the DFS, a review
and revision of the Mineral Resource cut-off grades for oxide resources will
be conducted

·      Pit optimisations based on a US$2,000/oz gold price were used to
constrain the 2022 Mineral Resource and were generated by Orelogy Mine
Consultants

·      This Updated Mineral Resource estimate was prepared by Michael
Millad and Flavie Isatelle of Cube Consulting Pty Ltd who are the Qualified
Persons for the estimate

·      This Updated Mineral Resources estimate is not expected to be
materially affected by environmental, permitting, legal title, taxation,
socio-political, marketing or other relevant issues.

Mineral Reserve Notes

·      The Mineral Reserve is reported according to CIM Definition
Standards for Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves (CIM, 2014). The NI
43-101 report is (available here
(https://www.centamin.com/media/2989/2023-doropo-ni43-101-technical-report.pdf)
)

·      The mine design and associated Mineral Reserve estimate for the
Doropo Gold Project is based on Mineral Resource classified as Measured and
Indicated from the Cube Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) with an effective date
of 25 October 2022

·      Ore block grade and tonnage dilution was incorporated into the
model

·      The Mineral Reserve was evaluated using variable cut-off grades
of 0.39 to 0.71g/t Au depending on mining area and weathering profile.

ABC Project, Cote d'Ivoire

Mineral Resource Notes

·      Mineral Resource estimate was last updated 23 September 2021

·      The ABC resource estimate comprises of two  deposits - Kona
South & Kona Central

·      Drill spacing is a nominal 50 x 50 x 1 metre spacing

·      Reverse circulation  and diamond  drilling only has been used
for the estimation

·      An OK and LUC estimation using Indicator Kriging at Kona Central
to define ore and waste boundaries

·      The grade estimate has been classified as Inferred in accordance
with the CIM Definition Standards for Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves
(CIM, 2014)

·      The Mineral Resource has been reported at an economic cut-off
grade of 0.5g/t, 250 metres below surface and within 100 metres of the nearest
sample

·      The Mineral Resources Estimate was prepared by Mr. Patrick Adams
of Cube Consulting who represents the Qualified Person for the estimate

·      The Mineral Resources Estimate is not expected to be materially
