Notes to 2018 Guidance A. 22,500 ounces of gold production are to be sold to Franco-Nevada Corporation at 20% of the spot gold price. B. Total cash cost per ounce sold is a non-IFRS financial measure and does not have a standard meaning under IFRS. C. All-in sustaining costs per ounce is a non-IFRS financial measure and does not have a standard meaning under IFRS. All-in sustaining costs per ounce sold include total cash costs per ounce, administration expenses, share based compensation and sustaining capital expenditures as defined by the World Gold Council. All-in sustaining costs also include cash / (non-cash) inventory movements and non-cash amortization of advanced royalties. D. Exploration and evaluation costs includes both Expensed Exploration, primarily attributable to exploration work on exploration permits, and Capitalized Reserve Development, which is work performed on Mine Licenses. E. Site development costs for 2018 include village relocation costs for the Sabodala village. F. Excludes capitalized deferred stripping costs, included in mine production costs. G. Construction readiness / early works expenditures for 2018 includes anticipated expenditures for the construction of the Wahgnion Gold Project prior to completion of a debt facility agreement. Other This forecast financial information is based on the following material assumptions for 2018: gold price: $1,250 per ounce; light fuel oil price $0.87/L; heavy fuel oil price $0.50/L; Euro:USD exchange rate of 1:1.17 Other important assumptions: any political events are not expected to impact
and recoveries will remain consistent with the life-of-mine plan to achieve the forecast gold production; and no unplanned delays in or interruption of scheduled production.

Non-IFRS Performance Measures
The Company has included non-IFRS measures in this document, including “total cash costs”, “total cash costs per ounce sold”, “all-in sustaining costs” (“AISC”), “AISC (excluding cash / (non-cash) inventory movements and amortized advanced royalty costs)”, “AISC per ounce”, “AISC (excluding cash / (non-cash) inventory movements and amortized advanced royalty costs) per ounce”, “average realized gold price”, “earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization” (“EBITDA”), “free cash flow”, “adjusted net profit attributable to shareholders” and “adjusted basic earnings per share”. These measures are intended to provide additional information only and do not have any standardized definition under IFRS and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. The measures are not necessarily indicative of operating profit or cash flow from operations as determined under IFRS. Other companies may calculate these measures differently. “Total cash costs” figures are calculated in accordance with a standard developed by The Gold Institute, which was a worldwide association of suppliers of gold and gold products and included leading North American gold producers. The Gold Institute ceased operations in 2002, but the standard is considered the accepted standard of reporting cash cost of production in North America. Adoption of the standard is voluntary and the cost measures presented may not be comparable to other similarly titled measure of other companies. “Total cash costs per ounce sold” is a common financial performance measure in the gold mining industry but has no standard meaning under IFRS. The Company reports total cash costs on a sales basis. The World Gold Council (“WGC”) definition of AISC seeks to extend the definition of total cash costs by adding corporate general and administrative costs, reclamation and remediation costs (including accretion and amortization), exploration and study costs (capital and expensed), capitalized stripping costs and sustaining capital expenditures and represents the total costs of producing gold from current operations. AISC excludes income tax payments, interest costs, costs related to business acquisitions and items needed to normalize earnings. Consequently, this measure is not representative of all of the Company’s cash expenditures. In addition, the calculation of AISC does not include depreciation expense as it does not reflect the impact of expenditures incurred in prior periods. Therefore, it is not indicative of the Company’s overall profitability. The Company also expands upon the WGC definition of AISC by presenting an additional measure of “AISC (excluding cash / (non-cash) inventory movements and amortized advanced royalty costs)”. This measure excludes cash and non-cash inventory movements and amortized advanced royalty costs which management does not believe to be true cash costs and are not fully indicative of performance for the period. For Sabodala and Wahgnion, life of mine total cash costs and AISC figures used in this presentation are before cash/non-cash inventory movements and exclude any allocation of corporate overheads. Consolidated total cash costs and all-in sustaining cost figures add corporate overhead costs. “Average realized price” excludes from revenues unrealized gains and losses on non-hedge derivative contracts. Management uses this measure to better understand the price realized in each reporting period for gold and silver sales. “EBITDA” excludes income tax, finance costs (before accretion expense), interest income, depreciation and amortization, and non-cash impairment charges from net profits. EBITDA is intended to provide additional information to investors and analysts and do not have any standardized definition under IFRS and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. Management believes that EBITDA is a valuable indicator of our ability to generate liquidity by producing operating cash flow to: fund working capital needs, service debt obligations, and fund capital expenditures. “Free cash flow” is calculated as net cash flow provided by operating activities less sustaining capital expenditures. The Company believes this to be a useful indicator of our ability generate cash for growth initiatives. Starting in 2018, the Company adopted “adjusted net profit attributable to shareholders” and “adjusted basic earnings per share” as new non-IFRS financial measures. These non-IFRS financial measures are used by management and investors to measure the underlying operating performance of the Company. Presenting these measures from period to period will help management and investors evaluate earnings trends more readily in comparison with results from prior periods. The Company calculates “adjusted net profit attributable to shareholders” as net profit attributable to shareholders adjusted to exclude specific items that are significant, but not reflective of the underlying operations of the Company, including: the impact of unrealized and realized foreign exchange gains and losses, gains and losses on derivative instruments, accretion expense on long-term obligations, impairment provisions and reversals thereof, and other unusual or non-recurring items. “Adjusted basic earnings per share” is calculated using the weighted average number of shares

37 A number of economic and technical studies have been prepared on the Afema project prior to Teranga’s entry into the Afema JV with Sodim. The most recent study, which included a mineral resource estimate for the Afema mine license, was issued by RockRidge Consulting Services Geologists for and on behalf of TGL and is dated as of June 27, 2016 (the “June 2016 Historical Estimate”). The June 2016 Historical Estimate includes an Indicated oxide resource estimate of 110Koz (comprised of 2.7Mt at an average grade of 1.26 g/t Au) and Inferred oxide resources of 122Koz (comprised of 3.0Mt at an average grade of 1.26 g/t Au). In addition, it includes an Indicated transitional resource estimate of 59Koz (comprised of 1.3Mt at an average grade of 1.39 g/t Au) and an Inferred transitional resource of 28Koz (comprised of 0.8Mt at an average grade of 1.11 g/t Au). Finally, the June 2016 Historical Estimate provides a sulphide resource estimate as follows: 865Koz Indicated ounces (comprised of 17.3Mt at an average grade of 1.55 g/t Au) and 806Koz inferred ounces (comprised of 17.8Mt at an average grade of 1.40 g/t Au). This historical estimate is reported as using a cut-off grade of 0.5 g/t Au. RockRidge further states that it reviewed the geological and grade continuity to supplement the review of data quality in order to confirm the CIM mineral resource classification categories used. As well, the June 2016 Historical Estimate states the following with respect to the basis of the mineral resource estimate:
mineralization wireframes;
Teranga considers the June 2016 Historical Estimate to be a “historical estimate” as defined under NI 43-101 and relevant as the most recent resource estimate on the Afema project. Further drilling, resource modelling and updates to key economic assumptions would be required to upgrade or verify these historical estimates as current mineral resources and accordingly they should be relied upon only as a historical resource estimate. A Qualified Person has not done sufficient work to classify the historical estimate as current mineral resources or mineral reserves and Teranga is not treating the historical estimate as current mineral resources or mineral reserves.

According to BMO GoldPages, NPV per share is calculated using the net present value of the life of mine cash flows based on the NI 43-101 plan, less cash flow of corporate costs, less net debt per share, using the model at SPOT commodity prices and exchange rates. The “Revalued Share Price” is calculated using the NPV per share at SPOT times the NPV multiples as listed. The BMO NPV calculation assumes a US$1,302 SPOT gold price per ounce, 5% discount, 0.79 USD/CAD exchange rate.

sales contracts can be settled at the option of Teranga in either cash or by physical delivery of gold. As part of this forward gold sales program, 25,000 ounces of gold previously due for settlement during the fourth quarter of 2017, was rolled over to now settle during the first quarter 2019. The Company has scheduled 26,500 ounces of gold for settlement in each of the four quarters of 2018 as well as second quarter 2019. Lastly, the Company has scheduled 30,000 ounces for settlement during the third quarter 2019. The incremental free cash flow benefit to Teranga is calculated by multiplying the total ounces under the forward sales program of 187,500 ounces of gold by the difference between the average hedge price of $1,340 per ounce and the Company’s long-term gold price assumption of $1,250 per ounce.
