This presentation contains certain statements that constitute forward-looking information within the meaning of applicable securities laws (“forward-looking statements”),
which reflects management’s expectations regarding Teranga Gold Corporation’s (“Teranga” or the “Company”) future growth, results of operations (including, without
limitation, future production and capital expenditures), performance (both operational and financial) and business prospects (including the timing and development of new
deposits and the success of exploration activities) and opportunities. Wherever possible, words such as “plans”, “expects”, “does not expect”, “budget”, “scheduled”,
“estimates”, “forecasts”, “anticipate” or “does not anticipate”, “believe”, “intend”, “ability to” and similar expressions or statements that certain actions, events or results “may”,
“could”, “would”, “might” or “will” be taken, occur or be achieved, have been used to identify such forward looking information. Although the forward-looking information
contained in this presentation reflect management’s current beliefs based upon information currently available to management and based upon what management believes to
be reasonable assumptions, Teranga cannot be certain that actual results will be consistent with such forward looking information. Such forward-looking statements are
based upon assumptions, opinions and analysis made by management in light of its experience, current conditions and its expectations of future developments that
management believe to be reasonable and relevant. These assumptions include, among other things, the ability to obtain any requisite Senegalese governmental approvals,
the accuracy of mineral reserve and mineral resource estimates, gold price, exchange rates, fuel and energy costs, future economic conditions, anticipated future estimates of
free cash flow, and courses of action. Teranga cautions you not to place undue reliance upon any such forward-looking statements
The risks and uncertainties that may affect forward-looking statements include, among others: the inherent risks involved in exploration and development of mineral
properties, including government approvals and permitting, changes in economic conditions, changes in the worldwide price of gold and other key inputs, changes in mine
plans and other factors, such as project execution delays, many of which are beyond the control of Teranga, as well as other risks and uncertainties which are more fully
described in the Company’s Annual Information Form dated March 30, 2016 and in other company filings with securities and regulatory authorities which are available at
www.sedar.com. 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 report should be construed as either an offer to sell or a solicitation to buy or sell Teranga securities.
This presentation is dated as of the date on the front cover. All references to the Company include its subsidiaries unless the context requires otherwise.
This presentation contains references to Teranga using the words “we”, “us”, “our” and similar words and the reader is referred to using the words “you”, “your” and similar
words.

Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves, adopted by the CIM Council, as may be amended from time to time by the CIM ("CIM Standards"). CIM definitions of the terms "mineral reserve",
"proven mineral reserve", "probable mineral reserve", "mineral resource", "measured mineral resource", "indicated mineral resource" and "inferred mineral resource", are substantially similar to the 2012
JORC Code corresponding definitions of the terms "ore reserve", "proved ore reserve", "probable ore reserve", "mineral resource", "measured mineral resource", "indicated mineral resource" and "inferred
mineral resource", respectively. Estimates of mineral resources and mineral reserves prepared in accordance with the 2012 JORC Code would not be materially different if prepared in accordance with
the CIM definitions applicable under NI 43-101. There can be no assurance that those portions of mineral resources that are not mineral reserves will ultimately be converted into mineral reserves.

ENDNOTES
1) Free cash flow and free cash flow per ounce are defined as operating cash flow less capital expenditures.
2) To better align costs with industry peers, during the first quarter 2016 the Company began to present CSR Expense and Regional Administration Costs separately from
Corporate Administration Expense. The Company's 2016 guidance has been updated to reflect this change in accounting presentation.
3) Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") is a Non-IFRS performance measure. Please refer to Non-IFRS Performance Measures in the
Company’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis for the three months ended March 31, 2016 accessible on the Company’s website at www.terangagold.com.
4) Total cash costs per ounce and all-in sustaining costs per ounce are non-IFRS financial measures and do not have standard meanings under IFRS. All-in sustaining costs per
ounce sold include total cash costs per ounce, administration expenses (excluding Corporate depreciation expense), Regional Administration Costs, capitalized deferred
stripping, capitalized reserve development and mine site & development capital expenditures as defined by the World Gold Council. For more information regarding these
measures, please refer to Non-IFRS Performance Measures in the Company’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis for the three months ended March 31, 2016 accessible
on the Company’s website at www.terangagold.com.
5) This production profile is based on existing proven and probable reserves only from the Sabodala mining license as disclosed in Teranga Gold’s December Quarter and Year-
end 2015 Report accessible on the Company's website at www.terangagold.com.
6) Over the past several years more than twelve million ounces of measured and indicated resources have been identified within the south eastern Senegal region, including the
Massawa, Golouma, Makabingui and Mako projects, along with the Company’s own Sabodala gold mine. With exploration work completed to date and the prior exploration
success seen in the area Management believes there is a reasonable basis to anticipate future resource to reserve conversion.
7) Cash flow is the Life of Mine net cash flow based on the Company’s most recent NI 43-101 Technical Report (“43-101 plan”) filed in March 2016, before income taxes, interest,
debt repayments, closure costs, dividends and working capital.
8) Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources estimates as at December 31, 2015 as per Company disclosure. For more information regarding Teranga Gold’s Mineral Reserves
and Resources, please refer to Teranga Gold’s December Quarter and Year-end 2015 Report accessible on the Company's website at www.terangagold.com.
9) Net Present Value (“NPV”) per share is a Non-IFRS financial measure. NPV per share, average NPV multiple of medium producers, and Teranga’s share price is as per BMO
GoldPages published April 25, 2016. According to BMO GoldPages, NPV per share is calculated using the net present value of the life of mine cash flows based on the NI 43-
101 plan, less cash flow of corporate costs, less net debt per share, using the model at SPOT commodity prices and exchange rates. The “Revalued Share Price” is calculated
using the NPV per share at SPOT times the NPV multiples as listed. The NPV calculation assumes a US$1,229 SPOT gold price per ounce, 5% discount, 0.79 USD/CAD
exchange rate. For more information regarding Non-IFRS financial measures, please refer to Non-IFRS Performance Measures in the Company’s Management’s Discussion
and Analysis for the three months ended March 31, 2016 accessible on the Company’s website at www.terangagold.com.
