Certain information included in this presentation, including any information as to the Company’s strategy, projects, exploration programs, joint venture ownership

positions, plans, future financial or operating performance and other statements that express management’s expectations or estimates of future performance,

constitute “forward-looking statements”. The words “believe”, “expect”, “will”, “intend”, ”anticipate”, “project”, ”plan”, “estimate”, “on track” and similar expressions

identify forward looking statements. Such forward-looking statements are necessarily based upon a number of estimates, assumptions, opinions and analysis made

by management in light of its experience that, while considered reasonable, may turn out to be incorrect and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and

other factors, in each case that may cause the actual financial results, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from the Company’s

estimated future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by those forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements are not

guarantees of future performance. These assumptions, risks, uncertainties and other factors include, but are not limited to: assumptions regarding general business

and economic conditions; conditions in financial markets and the future financial performance of the company; the impact of global liquidity and credit availability on

the timing of cash flows and the values of assets and liabilities based on projected future cash flows; the supply and demand for, deliveries of, and the level and

volatility of the worldwide price of gold or certain other commodities (such as silver, fuel and electricity); fluctuations in currency markets, including changes in U.S.

dollar and CFA Franc interest rates; risks arising from holding derivative instruments; adverse changes in our credit rating; level of indebtedness and liquidity; ability

to successfully complete announced transactions and integrate acquired assets; legislative, political or economic developments in the jurisdictions in which the

Company carries on business; operating or technical difficulties in connection with mining or development activities; employee relations; availability and costs

associated with mining inputs and labour; the speculative nature of exploration and development, including the risks of obtaining necessary licenses and permits and

diminishing quantities or grades of reserves; changes in costs and estimates associated with our projects; the accuracy of our reserve estimates (including with

respect to size, grade and recoverability) and the geological, operational and price assumptions on which these are based; contests over title to properties,

particularly title to undeveloped properties; the risks involved in the exploration, development and mining business, as well as other risks and uncertainties which are

more fully described in the Company's prospectus dated November 11, 2010 and in other Company filings with securities and regulatory authorities which are

available at www.sedar.com. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on such forward looking statements. Teranga expressly disclaims any intention or

• 2014-2016:

• Production of 210-240 koz.

• All-in sustaining costs of ~$1,000/oz (including Gora development costs)

• Capital expenditures: ~$80M

• Free cash flow: ~$150 - $200M at $1,350/oz gold price (after debt repayments)

• Less waste moved = decrease in high cost ounces = additional free cash flows

• New Plan:

• LOM all-in sustaining costs ~$1,000/oz

• Objective: maximize free cash flow, minimize expenditures

• Current cash + (2014 to 2016 free cash flows) > current market cap.

DEAL CREATES SIGNIFICANT VALUE

FOR ALL SHAREHOLDERS • Acquired Oromin Explorations, gained access to Oromin Joint Venture Group (“OJVG”)

data room

• Technical services team currently integrating OJVG deposits into Teranga operations

• Release of technical report in Q1’14

• Development strategy / combined mine plan

• Update to reserves, resources

• The combination is expected to result in:

• An increase in annual production and mine life

• Higher free cash flow, net asset value and earnings

• An increase in operational flexibility

• Capital and operating synergies, low incremental capital required

• A seamless integration

10

• Multiple deposits allows operational flexibility

• Allows for optimal sequencing of deposits based on:

• 1) grade 2) ore hardness 3) distance to mill 4) incremental capital requirements

• Processing OJVG ore is expected to establish Sabodala as a 275,000 – 300,000 oz/yr producer

• The Republic of Senegal supports a consolidation and are in favour of development of resources

THE COMBINED ASSET BASE

(1) Based on total proven and probable reserves of Teranga and of the OJVG (based on the open-pit mineral reserve estimates contained in the OJVG 43-101 Report). Based on

life of mine cash flows at a US$1,400/oz gold price assumption . Note: Please see Sabodala Technical Report, June 7, 2012 and Competent Persons Statement on page 13 of this presentation

• Operations running well

• Acquisition of Oromin complete

• Working towards agreement with joint venture

partners

• Targeting YE resolution

• Integrating OJVG deposits into Teranga operations

• Targeting Q1’14 for combined plan

• Reaffirm production and cost guidance
