This presentation contains forward-looking information. Forward looking information contained in this presentation includes, but is not limited to, statements with respect to: (i) the estimation of

measured, inferred and indicated mineral resources and proven and probable mineral reserves including, without limitation, statements with respect to the potential establishment of new mineral

resources and/or reserves and the expansion potential of existing mineral resources/reserves and the expansion potential of mining operations including with respect to proposed development at Bagassi

South and the anticipated timing thereof; (ii) proposed exploration and development activities (including proposed plant expansion), and the anticipated nature, success and timing thereof; (iii)

production, earnings, recovery rates and cost guidance as well as future sources of funding, capital expenditures and exploration budgets, (iv) permitting; and (v) expansion and growth potential and the

anticipated timing thereof including the anticipated production at Bagassi South and the timing thereof, and future economics and development activities related thereto; (vi) expectations the Company

will be within its 2018 cost guidance; (vii) statements that are not of historical fact; and (viii) any potential share buyback by the Company. For further details regarding the Yaramoko project, please refer

to the technical report entitled “Technical Report for the Yaramoko Gold Mine, Burkina Faso” dated December 20, 2017 (the “Technical Report”) as well as the press releases of Roxgold Inc. (“Roxgold” or

the “Company”) dated April 18, 2017 and the November 6, 2017, Bagassi South Feasibility Study news release.

These statements are based on information currently available to the Company and the Company provides no assurance that actual results will meet management's expectations. In certain cases,

forward-looking information may be identified by such terms as "anticipates", "believes", "could", "estimates", "expects", "may", "shall", "will", or "would". Forward-looking information contained in this

presentation is based on certain factors and assumptions regarding, among other things, the estimation of mineral resources and mineral reserves (and potential establishment and increases in respect

thereof), the potential expansion of mining operations, the realization of resource estimates and reserve estimates, gold metal prices, the timing and amount of future exploration and development

expenditures, and materials to continue to explore and develop the Yaramoko project in the short and long-term, the progress of exploration and development activities, the receipt of necessary

regulatory approvals and permits, and assumptions with respect to currency fluctuations, environmental risks, title disputes or claims, and other similar matters. While the Company considers these

assumptions to be reasonable based on information currently available to it, they may prove to be incorrect.

Forward looking information involves known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially

different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking information. Such factors include risks inherent in the exploration, risks relating to variations

in mineral resources and mineral reserves, grade or recovery rates resulting from current exploration and development activities (including risks that new mineral resources and/or reserves may not be

established, or the anticipated expansion potential of existing mineral resources/reserves or mining operations may not be realized), risks relating to changes in gold prices and the worldwide demand for

and supply of gold, risks related to increased competition in the mining industry generally, risks related to current global financial conditions, uncertainties inherent in the estimation of mineral resources

and mineral reserves, access and supply risks, reliance on key personnel, operational risks inherent in the conduct of mining activities including the risk of accidents, labour disputes, increases in capital

and operating costs and the risk of delays or regulatory risks, including risks relating to the acquisition of the necessary licenses and permits, capitalization and liquidity risks, risks related to disputes

concerning property titles and interest, and environmental risks. Please refer to the 2017 Management’s Discussion and Analysis filed on SEDAR at www.sedar.com on March 28, 2018 for political,

environmental or other risks that could materially affect the development of mineral resources and mineral reserves and other forward looking matters. This list is not exhaustive of the factors that may

affect any of the Company's forward-looking information. These and other factors should be considered carefully and readers should not place undue reliance on the Company's forward-looking

information. The Company does not undertake to update any forward-looking information that may be made from time to time by the Company or on its behalf, except in accordance with applicable

securities laws.
