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

▪ 2018 drilling program has focussed on
targets along the Boni Shear, and the
Haho, Kaho and Houko regions -
approximately 22,700 metres have been
drilled as of the end of Q3
▪ Several low grade structures have been
identified in the Haho and Boni Shear
programs. Follow up drilling is currently
being planned for these targets

▪ First phase of auger drilling
completed in the third quarter of
2018. Assays indicate presence
of potential structures oriented

Near Term Priorities
▪ Bagassi South Expansion – Adding ounces to production profile
▪ Increases production by ~40% to over 150,000 ounces in 2019 from both mines
combined
▪ Construction and process plant expansion currently underway. On track to deliver
first ore in Q4 2018
▪ 55 Zone and Bagassi South – Pursuing resource growth
▪ The 55 Zone shoot is open at depth. Resource conversion surface drilling program
commenced Q2 2018 with aim to convert inferred resources to indicated
▪ Bagassi South 2018 drill program focussed on extending western shoot down
plunge and near surface infill around the eastern shoot. Follow on drilling planned
to test for further down plunge extensions in western shoot in Q4 2018
▪ Regional Exploration – Maximizing the potential of Yaramoko
▪ Compelling targets in Kaho area with drilling expected in Q4 2018
▪ External Growth - Evaluating opportunities
▪ Continuing to evaluate external growth opportunities with a disciplined approach:
▪ Build on developing or advancing existing projects
▪ Low cost; high return on invested capital
▪ Capacity for growth
21TSX: ROXG
▪ Generating strong cash flow through high-grade, low cost asset
▪ Delivering industry-leading Return on Equity to shareholders
▪ Increasing production through Bagassi South expansion at an
estimated average gold production of 40,000 oz per year
▪ Self-funding accretive growth while paying down debt and
building net cash
▪ Implemented share repurchase plan
▪ Actively pursuing growth opportunities through exploration
program
▪ Led by proven management team and board demonstrated by
excellent operational performance and safety record

1. Mineral Resources are reported compliance with National Instrument 43-101 (“NI 43-101”) with an effective date of December 31st, 2016.
2. Underground Mineral Resources are reported at gold grade cut-off of 5.0 g/t Au, based on a gold price of US$1,250/ounce.
3. The identified Mineral Resources in the block model are classified according to the CIM definitions for the Measured, Indicated, and Inferred categories. The Mineral Resources are
reported in situ without modifying factors applied.
4. The Mineral Resource estimate was prepared under the supervision of Sébastien Bernier, Principal Resource Geologist at SRK Consulting (Canada). Mr. Bernier is a Qualified Person
as defined in NI 43-101.
