This presentation contains forward-looking information. Forward looking information contained in this presentation includes, but is not limited to, statements with respect to: (i) the estimation of measured, inferred and indicated mineral resources and proven and probable mineral reserves including, without limitation, statements with respect to the potential establishment of new mineral resources and/or reserves and the expansion potential of existing mineral resources/reserves and the expansion potential of mining operations including with respect to proposed development at Bagassi South and the anticipated timing thereof; (ii) proposed exploration and development activities (including proposed plant expansion), and the anticipated nature, success and timing thereof; (iii) production, earnings, recovery rates and cost guidance as well as future sources of funding, capital expenditures and exploration budgets, (iv) permitting; and (v) expansion and growth potential and the anticipated timing thereof including the anticipated production at Bagassi South and the timing thereof, and future economics and development activities related thereto; (vi) expectations the Company will be within its 2018 cost guidance; (vii) statements that are not of historical fact; and (viii) any potential share buyback by the Company. For further details regarding the Yaramoko project, please refer to the technical report entitled “Technical Report for the Yaramoko Gold Mine, Burkina Faso” dated December 20, 2017 (the “Technical Report”) as well as the press releases of Roxgold Inc. (“Roxgold” or the “Company”) dated April 18, 2017 and the November 6, 2017, Bagassi South Feasibility Study news release. These statements are based on information currently available to the Company and the Company provides no assurance that actual results will meet management's expectations. In certain cases, forward-looking information may be identified by such terms as "anticipates", "believes", "could", "estimates", "expects", "may", "shall", "will", or "would". Forward-looking information contained in this presentation is based on certain factors and assumptions regarding, among other things, the estimation of mineral resources and mineral reserves (and potential establishment and increases in respect thereof), the potential expansion of mining operations, the realization of resource estimates and reserve estimates, gold metal prices, the timing and amount of future exploration and development expenditures, and materials to continue to explore and develop the Yaramoko project in the short and long-term, the progress of exploration and development activities, the receipt of necessary regulatory approvals and permits, and assumptions with respect to currency fluctuations, environmental risks, title disputes or claims, and other similar matters. While the Company considers these assumptions to be reasonable based on information currently available to it, they may prove to be incorrect. Forward looking information involves known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking information. Such factors include risks inherent in the exploration, risks relating to variations in mineral resources and mineral reserves, grade or recovery rates resulting from current exploration and development activities (including risks that new mineral resources and/or reserves may not be established, or the anticipated expansion potential of existing mineral resources/reserves or mining operations may not be realized), risks relating to changes in gold prices and the worldwide demand for and supply of gold, risks related to increased competition in the mining industry generally, risks related to current global financial conditions, uncertainties inherent in the estimation of mineral resources and mineral reserves, access and supply risks, reliance on key personnel, operational risks inherent in the conduct of mining activities including the risk of accidents, labour disputes, increases in capital and operating costs and the risk of delays or regulatory risks, including risks relating to the acquisition of the necessary licenses and permits, capitalization and liquidity risks, risks related to disputes concerning property titles and interest, and environmental risks. Please refer to the 2017 Management’s Discussion and Analysis filed on SEDAR at www.sedar.com on March 28, 2018 for political, environmental or other risks that could materially affect the development of mineral resources and mineral reserves and other forward looking matters.

Notes: 1. Mineral Resources are reported compliance with National Instrument 43-101 (“NI 43-101”) with an effective date of December 31st, 2016. 2. Underground Mineral Resources are reported at gold grade cut-off of 5.0 g/t Au, based on a gold price of US$1,250/ounce. 3. The identified Mineral Resources in the block model are classified according to the CIM definitions for the Measured, Indicated, and Inferred categories. The Mineral Resources are reported in situ without modifying factors applied. 4. The Mineral Resource estimate was prepared under the supervision of Sébastien Bernier, Principal Resource Geologist at SRK Consulting (Canada). Mr. Bernier is a Qualified Person as defined in NI 43-101. 5. All figures have been rounded to reflect the relative accuracy of the estimates. 6. Mineral Resources that are not Mineral Reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. Mineral Reserves are reported in accordance with NI 43-101 with an effective date

  • f December 31st, 2016 and are included in Mineral Resources. For further information, please refer to the technical report dated December 20, 2017 and entitled “Technical

Mineral Reserve estimates reflect the Company’s reasonable expectation that all necessary permits and approvals will be

  • btained and maintained. Mining dilution and mining recovery vary by deposit and have been applied in estimating the Mineral Reserves.

2. Mineral Reserves are the economic portion of the Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources. Mineral Reserve estimates include mining dilution at grades assumed to be 1.3 g/t. Mining dilution and recovery factors vary with specific reserve sources and are influenced by several factors including deposit type, deposit shape and mining methods. 3. The Mineral Reserves were prepared under the supervision of Benny Zhang, Principal Mining Engineer at SRK, PEng (PEO # 100115459). Mr. Benny Zhang is a Qualified Person as defined by NI 43-101. 4. The Mineral Reserve estimate at December 31, 2016 is reported at a cut-off grade of 4.5g/t gold assuming: metal price of US$1,250 per ounce of gold, mining cost of US$100.00 per tonne, G&A cost of US$28.30 per tonne, processing cost of US$38.90 per tonne, and process recovery of 98.5%. Reserve estimates include mining dilution and mining recovery. 5. All figures have been rounded to reflect the relative accuracy of the estimates.
