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

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

Phase 2: Increase annual gold production to 400,000 - 500,000 oz.

Note: Please see Teranga Press Release, September 19, 2013 and Competent Persons Statement on page 13 of this presentation

(1) Based on Oromin Exploration’s public disclosure.

THE COMBINED ASSET BASE • Increases Teranga’s mine life and production base

• The Sabodala mill and complex, including heap leaching, is capable of processing 275,000 to

300,000 oz. per year during the period 2015 to 2020(1)

• Teranga’s share of the expected combined annual production from 2015 to 2020 would be

approximately 63%(1) plus toll milling revenue

• Low incremental capital required

(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 gold price assumption .

DEAL CREATES SIGNIFICANT VALUE

FOR ALL SHAREHOLDERS

• Proximity of deposits to existing mill and infrastructure:

• Seamless integration

• Expected to result in both capital and operating synergies

• Processing OJVG ore is expected to establish Sabodala as a 275,000 – 300,000 ounce

producer

• 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

• The combination of assets is expected to result in higher free cash flow, net asset

value and earnings

• Increasing production and increasing mine life

NEXT STEPS

11

SUMMARY

1. 100% hedge free – fully participate in rising gold prices

2. New Life of Mine Plan generates significant free cash

flows of $150-200M in years 2014-2016 at $1,350/oz

after all debt repayments

3. Balance sheet strengthening

4. Acquisition of OLE and toll milling OJVG ore increases

free cash flow and NAV by more than 50% and

earnings by 300%(1)

5. Significant land package – Exploration upside

(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 gold

price assumption.
