Forward-Looking Statements

All information included in this presentation, including any information as to the future financial or operating performance and other statements of Teranga Gold Corporation (“Teranga”) that express management’s expectations or estimates of future performance, other than statements of historical fact, constitute forward-looking information or forward-looking statements within the meaning of applicable securities laws and are based on expectations, estimates and projections as of the date hereof. Forward-looking statements are included for the purpose of providing information about management’s current expectations and plans relating to the future. Wherever possible, words such as “plans”, “expects”, “scheduled”, “trends”, “indications”, “potential”, “estimates”, “predicts”, “anticipate”, “to establish”, “believe”, “intend”, “ability to”, or statements that certain actions, events or results “may”, “could”, “would”, “might”, “will”, or are "likely" to be taken, occur or be achieved, or the negative of these words or other variations thereof, have been used to identify such forward-looking information. Specific forward-looking statements include, without limitation, all disclosure regarding future results of operations, economic conditions and anticipated courses of action. Although the forward-looking statements contained herein reflect management's current beliefs and reasonable assumptions based upon information available to management as of the date hereof, Teranga cannot be certain that actual results will be consistent with such forward-looking information. Such assumptions include, among others, the ability to obtain any requisite governmental approvals, the accuracy of mineral reserve and mineral resource estimates, gold price, exchange rates, fuel and energy costs, future economic conditions, anticipated future estimates of free cash flow, courses of action, the anticipated impact of combining the two assets, including anticipated synergies, and the potential for the combined Sabodala-Massawa complex to become a top tier gold asset. Teranga cautions you not to place undue reliance upon any such forward-looking statements. The economic analysis presented in the Massawa Technical Report was prepared by Barrick in respect of its feasibility study for a standalone development plan and proposed mining operation at

  • Massawa. Readers are advised that the economic outcomes disclosed by Barrick are presented in order to provide the reader with context regarding the Massawa project as proposed to be developed

by Barrick. However, readers are cautioned that as Teranga proposes to process the Massawa deposits at its existing Sabodala Project, the economic analysis presented in the Massawa Technical Report should not be considered as representing the economic outcome stemming from an integrated Sabodala-Massawa mining complex. The risks and uncertainties that may affect forward-looking statements include, among others, the inherent risks involved in exploration and development of mineral properties, including government approvals and permitting, changes in economic conditions, changes in the worldwide price of gold and other key inputs, changes in mine plans and other factors, such as project execution delays, many

  • f which are beyond the control of Teranga. For a more comprehensive discussion of the risks faced by Teranga, and which may cause the actual financial results, performance or achievements of

Teranga to be materially different from estimated future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by forward-looking information or forward-looking statements, please refer to Teranga’s latest Annual Information Form filed with Canadian securities regulatory authorities at www.sedar.com or on Teranga’s website at www.terangagold.com. The risks described in the Annual Information Form (filed and viewable on www.sedar.com and on Teranga’s website at www.terangagold.com) are hereby incorporated by reference herein. Teranga disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by applicable law. Nothing herein should be construed as either an offer to sell or a solicitation to buy or sell Teranga securities. This presentation is dated as of February 21, 2020. All references to Teranga include its subsidiaries unless the context requires otherwise.

  • 20,000 oz of unsold gold bullion at year-end
  • Wahgnion

11,000 oz of gold bullion inventory, or nearly 40% of commercial production

As the newest gold producer in Burkina Faso, the last shipment date to be secured was mid-December, which meant that a large portion of December’s production was not shipped

  • Sabodala

9,000 oz of gold bullion

Inability to secure a later shipment date was partially due to an earlier than normal cut-off for shipping

including 8,344 ounces produced during Wahgnion's pre-commercial production phase (2018: 59,442 ounces and nil, respectively). During the twelve months ended December 31, 2019, gold ounces produced from Sabodala and Wahgnion were 241,276 ounces and 47,492 ounces, respectively, including 18,964 ounces produced during Wahgnion's pre-commercial production phase (2018: 245,230 ounces and nil, respectively).

  • 3. Gold produced represents change in gold in circuit inventory plus gold recovered during the period.
  • 4. Comparative amounts have been restated to reflect all-in sustaining costs per ounce and all-in sustaining costs (excluding cash/(non-cash) inventory movements and

amortized advanced royalty costs) per ounce of Sabodala on a standalone basis, exclusive of resettlement capital expenditures related to the Niakafiri deposit.

  • 5. Average realized price and cost information only include results from the period after achieving commercial production at Wahgnion (November 1, 2019 to December

31, 2019).

8. 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 calculated at the mine site level includes only total cash costs per ounce and sustaining capital expenditures. All-in sustaining costs for includes sustaining capital expenditures but excludes growth capital related to village resettlement expenditures. Corporate administration and share-based compensation expense are presented separately in this table and are not allocated to the mine site level costs. All-in sustaining costs presented on a consolidated basis includes corporate administration and share-based compensation expense. All-in sustaining costs also includes non-cash inventory movements and non-cash amortization of advanced royalties. 9. Excludes capitalized deferred stripping costs, included in mine production costs.

  • 10. Share-based compensation expense assumes an average price of C$9.00 per Teranga share.
  • 11. 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.

  • 12. This outlook financial information is based on the following material assumptions for 2020: gold price: $1,450 per ounce; Brent Crude Oil: $60 per barrel; and

Euro:USD exchange rate of 1:1.10. The Company assumes a corporate income tax rate of 25 percent in Senegal and 17.5 percent in Burkina Faso. Other important assumptions: any political events are not expected to impact operations, including movement of people, supplies and gold shipments; grades and recoveries is expected to remain consistent with the life-of-mine plan to achieve the forecast gold production; and no unplanned delays in or interruption of scheduled production.

  • 13. This production target is based on proven and probable ore reserves only for Teranga’s Wahgnion Gold Operations as at December 31, 2019. For more information

Non-IFRS Performance Measures

The Company provides some non-IFRS financial measures as supplementary information that management believes may be useful to investors to explain the Company’s financial results. Beginning in the second quarter of 2013, we adopted an “all-in sustaining costs” measure consistent with the guidance issued by the World Gold Council (“WGC”) on June 27, 2013, of which Teranga became a member on November 27, 2018. The Company believes that the use of all-in sustaining costs is helpful to analysts, investors and other stakeholders of the Company in assessing its operating performance, its ability to generate free cash flow from current operations and its overall value. This measure is helpful to governments and local communities in understanding the economics of gold mining. The “all-in sustaining costs” is an extension of existing “cash cost” metrics and incorporate costs related to sustaining production. “Total cash cost 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. We believe that, in addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with IFRS, certain investors use this information to evaluate the Company’s performance and ability to generate cash flow. Accordingly, it is intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. The measure, along with sales, is considered to be a key indicator of a Company’s ability to generate operating profits and cash flow from its mining operations. 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. The WGC definition of all-in sustaining costs 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. All-in sustaining costs exclude income tax payments, interest costs, costs related to business acquisitions and items needed to normalize profits. Consequently, this measure is not representative of all of the Company’s cash

  • expenditures. In addition, the calculation of all-in sustaining costs and all-in costs 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 all-in sustaining costs by presenting an additional measure of “All-in sustaining costs (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. “Total cash costs per ounce”, “all-in sustaining costs per ounce” and “all-in sustaining costs (excluding cash/(non-cash) inventory movements and amortized advanced royalty costs) per ounce” 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. The following tables reconcile the most directly comparable IFRS measure to these non-IFRS measures. “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

  • unces 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 is a non-IFRS financial measure, which excludes income tax and related expenses, finance costs (including accretion expense), interest income and depreciation and amortization from net (loss)/profit for the year. In 2019, Teranga amended the definition of EBITDA to exclude accretion expense to improve comparability of this non-IFRS financial measure with its peers. The comparative 2018 EBITDA has been restated to conform to the new presentation. 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. Beginning second quarter 2019, the Company adopted adjusted EBITDA as a new non-IFRS financial measure. Management believes that adjusted 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, after adjusting for factors not reflective of the underlying performance of the Company. Adjusted EBITDA is intended to provide additional information to investors and analysts and does 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 Company calculates adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA adjusted to exclude unrealized and realized foreign exchange gains and losses, gains and losses on derivative instruments, non-cash fair value changes, impairment provisions and reversals thereof, and other unusual or non-recurring items. “Free cash flow” is a non-IFRS financial measure. The Company calculates free cash flow as net cash flow provided by operating activities less sustaining capital expenditures. The Company believes this to be a useful indicator of our ability to generate cash for growth initiatives. Other companies may calculate this measure differently. "Adjusted net (loss)/profit attributable to shareholders” and “adjusted basic (loss)/earnings per share” are financial measures with no standard meaning under IFRS. 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 (loss)/profit attributable to shareholders” as net (loss)/profit for the year 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, the impact of foreign exchange movements on deferred taxes, non-cash fair value changes, impairment provisions and reversals thereof, and other unusual or non-recurring items. “Adjusted basic (loss)/earnings per share” is calculated using the weighted average number of shares outstanding under the basic method of earnings per share as determined under IFRS.
