OUR VISION

To become a preeminent gold producer in West Africa while setting the benchmark for responsible mining in Senegal Phase 1: Become a mid-tier gold producer in Senegal with 250,000 to 350,000 oz. of annual gold production leveraging off existing infrastructure

• 2011 production of 131,461oz. • 2012 production of 214,310oz. at cash costs of $627/oz. • 2013 forecast production of 190,000 – 210,000oz. at cash costs of $650-$700/oz. • 2014 forecast production of 200,00 – 250,000oz. depending on the timing of Gora

Phase 2: Increase annual gold production to 400,000 to 500,000 oz. with mill expansion as reserves increase

SABODALA IS SENEGAL’S ONLY LARGE-SCALE GOLD MINE Population of ~ 12.8M

Democratic Government

• Smooth process and power transition in 2012 elections • Peaceful democracy since independence from France in 1960 • Use of the eight-country West African CFA France currency fully

guaranteed by the French treasury and pegged to the Euro (WAEMU) • Sabodala is the only large-scale gold mine in Senegal

Government has vested interest in Sabodala’s success given: • 10% free-carried interest • 3% gross production royalty • 25% income tax (after tax holiday expires in 2015) • Employment and regional development opportunities

FOCUS IS ON CONTINUED GROWTH Focused on Growing Reserves

• To secure a reserve life to year 2020/25 • Growth through exploration • Growth through regional opportunities (JV’s, acquisitions)

Focused on Growing Production

• Phase 1: 250,000 – 350,000oz. annual production by leveraging existing mill and land package

• Phase 2: 400,000 – 500,000oz. annual production, will require another mill expansion

Focused on Building Financial Strength

• Eliminating hedge book • Expanding cash margins • Increasing cash balance • Use free cash flow to self-fund growth strategy • Focusing on the ounces that provide the best returns • Increase earning and cash flow per share (minimize dilution)
