  2. We are the largest Western-based gold producer in Central Asia.
  3. We own two excellent mines that produce solid cash flows and earnings.
  4. Open pit mine life at Kumtor has recently been extended and there is significant potential to further increase reserves and resources. Additionally, an underground operation is being developed at Kumtor.
  5. We possess promising exploration properties in the Kyrgyz Republic, Mongolia Turkey, Russia and Nevada. As of Dec. 31, 2009, Centerra (100% basis) had proven and probable reserves of 7.3 million ounces of contained gold, measured and indicated resources of about 4.1 million ounces of contained gold, and 3.4 million contained ounces of inferred resources, primarily at Kumtor with 2.4 million ounces of high grade underground resources. (Resource figures include Centerra's interest in the REN joint venture, which it disposed of in July 2010. See Operations Reserve & Resources Summary.)
