Centerra Gold’s study of its Goldfield project confirms attractive economics for the project. This includes an after-tax net present value of $245 million and an after-tax internal rate of return of 30%, considering a long-term gold price of $2,500 per ounce. The study also considered the impact of gold hedges on a portion of production in 2029 and 2030.
