2018 Outlook: Increased Production
33
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
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 resettlement costs for the Sabodala village. F. Excludes capitalized deferred stripping costs, included in mine production costs. G. Early works expenditures for 2018 includes anticipated expenditures for the construction of Wahgnion prior to initial drawdown under the Taurus Facility which was executed in May 2018. H. Wahgnion construction expenditures for 2018 include anticipated expenditures for Wahgnion post completion of the Taurus Facility. Other This forecast financial information is based on the following material assumptions for the remainder of 2018: gold price: $1,250 per ounce; light fuel oil price $0.87/L; heavy fuel
Other important assumptions: any political events are not expected to impact
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
“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
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
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” is a financial measure with no standard meaning under IFRS. Management uses this measure to better understand the price realized in each reporting period for gold and silver sales. Average realized price is calculated on revenue and ounces sold to all customers, except Franco-Nevada, as gold ounces sold to Franco-Nevada is recognized in revenue at 20 percent of the prevailing gold spot price on the date of delivery and 80 percent at $1,250 per ounce. The average realized price is intended to provide additional information only and does not have any standardized definition under IFRS; it should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. Other companies may calculate this measure differently. “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 is expected to 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. During the second quarter of 2018, the Company also excluded the impact of foreign exchange movements on deferred taxes and other non-cash fair value changes from adjusted net profit attributable to shareholders as management does not believe these factors to be reflective of the underlying performance of the Company.

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$1,223 SPOT gold price per ounce, 5% discount, 0.77 USD/CAD exchange rate.
