This presentation contains certain statements that constitute forward-looking information and forward-looking statements within the meaning of applicable securities laws (collectively, “forward-looking statements”) and includes statements relating to the timing and the terms and benefits of the Offer. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of Teranga, or developments in Teranga’s business or in its industry, or with respect to the Offer, to differ materially from the anticipated results, performance, achievements or developments expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include all disclosure regarding possible events, conditions or results of operations that is based on assumptions about, among other things, future economic conditions and courses of action, and assumptions related to government approvals, the co-operation of the other OJVG shareholders and anticipated costs and expenditures. The words “poised”, “gives”, “expect”, “its vision”, “plan”, “support”, “assist”, “commit to”, “will not”, “intend”, “intends to” and similar expressions identify forward looking statements. Forward-looking statements may also include, without limitation, any statement relating to future events, conditions or circumstances. Teranga cautions you not to place undue reliance upon any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they are made. There is no guarantee that the terms and conditions to the Offer will be met or that the anticipated benefits of the Offer will be achieved. The risks and uncertainties that may affect forward-looking statements include, among others: economic market conditions, anticipated costs and expenditures, government approvals, co-operation of each of the OJVG shareholders; and other risks detailed from time to time in Teranga’s filings with Canadian provincial securities regulators. Forward-looking statements are based on management's current plans, estimates, projections, beliefs and opinions, and, except as required by law, Teranga does not undertake any obligation to update forward-looking statements should assumptions related to these plans, estimates, projections, beliefs and opinions change. Nothing in this presentation should be construed as either an offer to sell or a solicitation to buy or sell Teranga securities. Forward looking information and other information contained herein concerning mineral exploration and management’s general expectations concerning the mineral exploration industry are based on estimates prepared by management using data from publicly available industry sources as well as from market research and industry analysis and on assumptions based on data and knowledge of this industry which management believes to be reasonable. However, this data is inherently imprecise, although generally indicative of relative market positions, market shares and performance characteristics. While management is not aware of any misstatements regarding any industry data presented herein, mineral exploration involves risks and uncertainties and industry data is subject to change based on various factors. In addition, please note that statements relating to “reserves” or “resources” are deemed to be forward looking information as they involve the implied assessment, based on certain estimates and assumptions, that the resources and reserves described can be profitably mined in the future. While management has confidence in its projections based on exploration work done to date, the potential quantity and grade disclosed herein is conceptual in nature, and there has been insufficient exploration to define a mineral resource, therefore it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the targets being delineated as a mineral resource. This presentation does not constitute in any way an offer or invitation to subscribe for securities in Teranga pursuant to the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth). NOTICE TO U.S. SHAREHOLDERS: Please see important information contained in the section labeled "Jurisdictions" at the back of this presentation. Note: any terms not defined herein have the meaning ascribed thereto in the press release of the Company dated June 20, 2013. CAUTIONARY STATEMENT |
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 350,000oz. of annual gold production leveraging off existing infrastructure 2011 production of 131,461oz. at cash costs of $782/oz. 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 200,000 – 250,000oz. pending the timing of Gora production 2015 - 2020 the Sabodala mill has design capacity to produce 275,000 – 300,000oz. per year based on the combined P&P open pit reserves of TGZ and OJVG (based on TGZ and OJVG NI 43-101 reports) Phase 2: Increase annual gold production to 400,000 to 500,000 oz. with mill expansion as reserves increase |
Strengthened the operating team (Sabodala and corporate) to de-risk the operations Expanded mill - increasing annual production from 130,000oz. to over 200,000oz. Reduced operating costs Eliminated hedge book and strengthened the balance sheet Expanded reserves adding ~729koz. and extending the mine life by ~4 years. (Increased M&I by 1.23Moz. and Inferred by 1.10Moz.) Established a regional exploration program and drill tested over 50 targets, developing a pipeline of prospective targets Improved community relations Negotiated global agreement with the new Government to allow among other items – asset consolidation Focused on the Oromin and subsequent OJVG transactions to enhance and protect shareholder value Teranga is continuing to make significant progress toward becoming a preeminent gold producer in West Africa TERANGA’S ACHIEVEMENTS SINCE IPO |

MDL PLAN PUTS SHAREHOLDER VALUE AT RISK MDL jeopardizes execution of OJVG integration MDL has ~16% of shares yet is seeking Board control while not offering a control premium to shareholders Replacing independent board members with MDL employees No plan or rationale have been put forward by MDL MDL has publicly stated that they are a seller by end of 2013 making their takeover motives appear self-serving Change in the Board or Management team is a review event under loan facilities with the risk of accelerated repayment within 90 days No clear path to enhancing shareholder value What is MDL’s motive? |
VOTE THE BLUE PROXY TO REALIZE SHAREHOLDER VALUE Current Board and Management team have successfully laid the ground work to build TGZ into a preeminent gold producer in West Africa IPO strategy remains clear and simple – the acquisition of OLE and the integration of the OJVG to generate significant shareholder value Change in Board and Management puts shareholder value at risk because MDL does not have the trust of the Government of Senegal Current Board and Management team are best positioned to integrate and realize the benefits of the Oromin transation for shareholders |
