that could cause future results or events to differ materially from current expectations expressed or implied by the

forward-looking statements include the ability to commence mining and production activities at Siou in the second

quarter of 2014, Siou’s ability to boost production and lower all-in sustaining costs, the ability to produce 153,000 to

168,000 ounces at Mana at a total cash cost of $805 to $855 per ounce in 2013, the ability to bring Siou from discovery

to production in less than two years, the ability of our actual results to match our simulations over time, the ability to

maintain our expected life of mine, the ability to meet our development schedule for the Siou Sector, the ability to begin

pre-stripping Siou in Q1 2014, the ability to meet our 2013 estimated CAPEX, the ability of our strategy to increase

shareholder value, the ability to commence pre-stripping and road construction work at Siou in the coming months, the

ability to commence production from the Fofina deposit in 2015, the ability to execute on our strategic focus, fluctuation

in the price of currencies, gold or operating costs, mining industry risks, uncertainty as to calculation of mineral

reserves and resources, delays, political and social stability in Africa (including our ability to maintain or renew licenses

and permits) and other risks described in SEMAFO’s documents filed with Canadian securities regulatory authorities.

You can find further information with respect to these and other risks in SEMAFO’s 2012 Annual MD&A, as updated in

Continue to pursue successful cost control and optimization programs

Reduced our G&A – trimmed corporate office headcount by 19% since the beginning of 2013

Lowered cash operating cost per ounce produced by 4% in the first nine months of 2013 compared to the same period in 2012

No longer invest in non-core assets – both are for sale

Samira Hill operations have been placed in care and maintenance in August 2013

Kiniero Mine will be placed in care and maintenance in Q4 2013

Restrict funding to exploration projects with a focus on quality ounces

Focus on maintaining financial flexibility
