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. pending the timing of Gora production
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 • 5% gross production royalty effective Jan. 1, 2013 • 25% income tax (after tax holiday expires in 2015) • Employment and regional development opportunities
6
NEW AGREEMENT PROVIDES FOR LONG-TERM PARTNERSHIP THROUGH:
• Price and formula to acquire Government’s additional option on satellite deposits and to incorporate these into the existing ML and fiscal regime
• Supporting drilling of the Niakafiri deposit on the ML
• Extending the ML by five years to 2022 and five key exploration licences by 18 months
• Ensuring full access to exploration targets currently occupied by artisanal miners
• Settling all outstanding tax assessments
• Settling the Special Contribution Tax of 5% through an increase in royalties to 5% and accelerated dividend payments
7
TERANGA IS MINING RESPONSIBLY AND SHARING THE BENEFITS
Corporate Social Responsibility is fundamental to the success of our business • Health, safety, education and sustainability are all priorities
• Developing schools, health clinics, and improving access to
potable water
• Have engaged a renowned Canadian group to assist in putting together a comprehensive Regional Development Plan in partnership with the local, regional, and national government
• Committed to improving the livelihoods of those in the
communities in which we operate
A key component of our vision is to set the benchmark for responsible mining in Senegal

Completed Mill Expansion
• New ball mill and downstream plant, secondary crusher and new stockpile/reclaim facility commissioned
• Expands annual production base to ~200,000 oz. • Mill capacity increased to ~3.5Mtpa of fresh (hard) ore or
~6Mtpa of oxide (soft) ore
Modest Incremental Sustaining Capital Going Forward • US$125M – $150M LOM
• Includes Gora, community relocations, further mobile equipment expenditure, pit delineation and additional tailings facilities

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 • Maximizing cash margins • Producing free cash flow • 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)
