Opportunities to Maintain Sabodala’s Annual Production of +200Koz Beyond 2022
Four Significant Opportunities for Continued Growth at Niakafiri1. Restricted areas (sacred sites, cemetery, schools)2. Extending the Niakafiri West trend northwards3. Exploring a potential northwest trend under Sabodala village4. Extending the Niakafiri Main zone at depth
Underground• Current reserves of 346Koz within a resource (MII) base of 1.3Moz • Extend drilling as we complete open pit mining for higher grade and
thicker zones for improved mining methods (long-hole vs cut & fill)• Current operating scenario is for an owner mine fleet

Non-IFRS Performance Measures
The Company has included non-IFRS measures in this document, including “total cash cost per ounce of gold sold”, “all-in sustaining costs per ounce”, “free cash flow from operations” and “EBITDA”. TheCompany believes that these measures, in addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with IFRS, provide investors an improved ability to evaluate the underlying performance of the Company.The non-IFRS measures are 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. Thesemeasures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed under IFRS, and therefore may not be comparable to other issuers.
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 NorthAmerican 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 isvoluntary and the cost measures presented may not be comparable to other similarly titled measure of other companies. The World Gold Council (“WGC”) definition of all-in sustaining costs seeks to extendthe 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 andexpensed), capitalized stripping costs and sustaining capital expenditures and represents the total costs of producing gold from current operations. All-in sustaining cost excludes income tax payments, interestcosts, 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 ofall-in sustaining 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. ForSabodala and Wahgnion, life of mine total cash costs and all-in sustaining costs figures used in this presentation are before cash/non-cash inventory movements and exclude any allocation of corporateoverheads. Total cash costs and all-in sustaining costs figures for Sabodala further excludes amortized advanced royalty costs. Other companies may calculate this measure differently. Consolidated total cashcosts and all-in sustaining cost figures add corporate overhead costs. Other companies may calculate this measure differently.
The Company calculates free cash flow from operations as net cash flow provided by operating activities less sustaining capital expenditures. The Company believes this to be a useful indicator of its ability togenerate cash for growth initiatives. “Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization” (“EBITDA”) is a non-IFRS financial measure, which excludes income tax, finance costs (before unwinding ofdiscounts), interest income, depreciation and amortization, and non-cash impairment charges from net earnings. EBITDA is intended to provide additional information to investors and analysts and do not haveany 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 avaluable indicator of our ability to generate liquidity by producing operating cash flow to: fund working capital needs, service debt obligations, and fund capital expenditures.
Net asset value (“NAV”) per share and net present value (“NPV”) per share are non-IFRS financial measures. NAV per share is equal to NPV per share and is calculated using the NPV of the life of mine(“LOM”) cash flows based on the Wahgnion and Sabodala 43-101 technical reports. The NPV calculation assumes a long-term gold price of $1,300 per ounce, a 5% discount rate, a 0.79 CAD/USD exchangerate, a 1.10 Euro/USD exchange rate, and current cash on hand. It includes interest, income taxes, and changes in working capital and excludes corporate administration, exploration expenditures, minorityinterest payments and debt repayments. The Wahgnion and Sabodala NPV are based on reserves only.

6. This Sabodala free cash flow is an estimate that is based on the updated life of mine plan and reserve estimate for the Sabodala project, as set out in the Technical Report of Teranga for the Sabodala Project,Senegal, West Africa, dated August 30, 2017 (the “Sabodala Technical Report”). See in particular Section 21 of the Sabodala Technical Report - Capital and Operating Costs.
7. See the NI 43-101 compliant technical report for the Wahgnion Project. This LOM production plan assumes that the Wahgnion Project plant construction will commence in Q1 2018. If the Wahgnion plantconstruction commences in Q2 2018 instead, the LOM production plan is expected to shift by several months.
8. Other considerations (uses) is an estimate of potential other uses of the Company’s cash during the period, including, but not limited to, discretionary exploration expenditures, financing costs and any cost overrunor minimum cash requirements that might be contained in any completed debt financing agreement. Actual amounts may total more or less than the aggregate amount specified.

12. Net Present Value (“NPV”) per share is a Non-IFRS financial measure. NPV per share, average NPV multiple of medium producers, and Teranga’s share price is as per BMO GoldPages published January 15,2018. 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 assumesa US$1,229 SPOT gold price per ounce, 5% discount, 0.79 USD/CAD exchange rate..

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 mineralresource 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 HistoricalEstimate”). 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 of122Koz (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 isreported 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. Aswell, the June 2016 Historical Estimate states the following with respect to the basis of the mineral resource estimate:
• mineralized volumes were received for oxide, transitional and sulphide modelled volumes;
• gold grades were determined using ordinary kriging and Inverse distance squared interpolation (depending on data density) into a 3-dimensional block model constrained bymineralization wireframes;
• the block models comprised sub-celled block dimensions of 5m x 5m x 1m and 5m x 5m x 2m (depending on data sampling interval);
• mineralized wireframes were truncated to the topographic surface reflecting the mining that had previously occurred on the property;
• gold values were investigated for outlier values and put though two statistical capping/cutting routines;
• Datamine Studio 3 was the modelling package; and
• relationship between geology and preliminary mining and economic factors was taken into account at all times.
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. Furtherdrilling, 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 berelied 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 isnot treating the historical estimate as current mineral resources or mineral reserves.
