Disclosures

Forward Looking Statements: There are risks associated with an investment in the shares of Centamin. Recipients of this presentation should review the risk factors and otherdisclosures regarding Centamin contained in the preliminary prospectus and subsequent annual reports and Management Discussion and Analysis reports of Centamin that have beenfiled with Canadian securities regulators and are available at www.sedar.com.

It should be specifically noted that the potential quantity and grade from the Sukari underground mine is conceptual in nature, that there has been insufficient exploration todefine a mineral resource and that it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the target being delineated as a mineral resource.

This presentation contains "forward‐looking information" (or "forward‐looking statements") which may include, but are not limited to, statements with respect to the future financialor operating performance of the Company, its subsidiaries and its projects (including the Sukari Project), the future price of gold, the estimation of mineral reserves and resources, therealization of mineral reserve estimates, the timing and amount of estimated future production, revenues, margins, costs of production, capital, operating and explorationexpenditures, costs and timing of the development of new deposits, costs and timing of construction, costs and timing of future exploration, the timing for delivery of plant andequipment, requirements for additional capital, foreign exchange risk, government regulation of mining and exploration operations, environmental risks, reclamation expenses, titledisputes or claims, insurance coverage and the timing and possible outcome of pending litigation and regulatory matters. Often, but not always, forward‐looking statements can beidentified by the use of words such as "plans", "hopes", "expects", "is expected", "budget", "scheduled", "estimates", "forecasts", "intends", "anticipates", or "believes" or variations(including negative variations) of such words and phrases, or state that certain actions, events or results "may", "could", "would", "might" or "will" be taken, occur or be achieved.

Forward‐looking information involves and is subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements ofthe Company and/or its subsidiaries to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward‐looking information. Suchfactors include, among others, general business, economic, competitive, political and social uncertainties; the actual results of current exploration activities and feasibility studies;assumptions in economic evaluations which prove to be inaccurate; fluctuations in the value of the United States dollar and the Canadian dollar relative to each other, to theAustralian dollar and to other local currencies in the jurisdictions in which the Company operates; changes in project parameters as plans continue to be refined; future prices of goldand other metals; possible variations of ore grade or recovery rates; failure of plant, equipment or processes to operate as anticipated; accidents, labour disputes or slow downs andother risks of the mining industry; climatic conditions; political instability, insurrection or war; arbitrary decisions by governmental authorities; delays in obtaining governmentalapprovals or financing or in the completion of development or construction activities. Discovery of archaeological ruins of historical value could lead to uncertain delays in thedevelopment of the mine at the Sukari Project.

Although the Company has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual actions, events or results to differ materially from those described in forward‐lookinginformation, there may be other factors that cause actions, events or results to differ from those anticipated, estimated or intended. Forward‐looking information contained herein ismade as of the date of this presentation and the Company disclaims any obligation to update any forward‐looking information, whether as a result of new information, future eventsor results or otherwise. There can be no assurance that forward‐looking information or statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materiallyfrom those anticipated in such information or statements. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward‐looking statements.

Competent Persons: Information in this presentation which relates to resource, reserve, exploration, geology, sampling and drilling is based on information prepared and approved bygeologist Mr Richard Osman who is a full time employee of the Company, and is a member of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy with more than five years’experience in the fields of activity being reported on, and is a “Competent Person” for this purpose and is a “Qualified Person” as defined in “National Instrument 43‐101 of theCanadian Securities Administrators. Refer also to the technical report entitled “Mineral Resource and Reserve Estimate for the Sukari Gold Project, Egypt” dated 30 January 2014 andfiled on SEDAR at www.sedar.com, for further discussion of the extent to which the estimate of mineral resources/reserves may be materially affected by any known environmental,permitting, legal, title, taxation, socio‐political, or other relevant issues.

1. CASH FLOW GENERATION• 2016 guidance 470koz Au at US$680/oz cash cost of production & US$900/oz AISC• Production growth to c.500koz in 2017 at AISC <US$900/oz• Further production upside / lower cash costs at Sukari for no material capex

2. SHAREHOLDER RETURNS• US$276m in cash and liquid assets at 31 March 2016• No debt, no hedging and Sukari capex complete• Dividend a priority: competitive yield

3. LONG‐TERM GROWTH• Exploration / development to be funded from cash reserves after dividend• Significant Sukari reserve expansion potential, especially via high grades from underground• Advanced exploration in Burkina Faso; highly prospective tenements in Côte D’Ivoire
