Centerra Gold Inc. (Centerra) lowered Mount Milligan’s 2026 all-in sustaining cost (AISC) guidance to $1,100 to $1,200 per ounce, citing copper by-product credits as the reason for the revised range.

Centerra also expects to meet its full-year gold and copper production targets. Its 2026 AISC guidance for Oksut is $1,850 to $1,950 per ounce.
