The company continues to focus on drilling programs at Mount Milligan and Kemess in British Columbia to expand and convert resources, while also conducting targeted exploration at Öksüt. These efforts aim to maximize the value of Centerra’s current asset base by identifying new near-surface oxide mineralization and improving resource confidence in key mining areas.
