Prudent and Disciplined Allocation of Capital• Objective is to put an optimal financing plan in place which

eliminates, or at least minimizes, requirement for issuing new equity

• quarter provides incremental cash flow from Sabodala• Banfora Project infill drill program may result either in an

increase in the size of the debt facility and/or lower cost of capital

Hedging Mitigates Cash Flow Volatility Until End of 2018• Forward gold sales program(8)

– provides greater cash flow certainty for ~50% of production up to end of 2018

– increases cash flows from Sabodala versus lenders’ lower gold price assumption

1) Teranga’s Sabodala Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources estimates as at June 30, 2017. For more information regarding Sabodala’s Mineral Reserves and Resources and related notes, please refer to the NI 43-101compliant technical report for the Sabodala Project dated August 30, 2017 accessible on the Company’s website at www.terangagold.com and on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

2) Total cash costs per ounce, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), free cash flow, all-in sustaining costs (excluding cash/non-cash inventory movements and amortized advanced royaltycosts) per ounce, and average realized gold price are non-IFRS financial measures and do not have standard meanings under IFRS. All-in sustaining costs (excluding non-cash inventory movements and amortized advancedroyalty costs) per ounce is a non-IFRS financial measure. The comparable IFRS measure is cost of sales per ounce, which for 2017, is expected in the range of $950 - $1,025 per ounce. Please see the Non-IFRSPerformance Measures section in Management’s Discussion & Analysis for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 available on the Company’s website at www.terangagold.com.

3) Teranga’s Banfora Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources estimates as at September 7, 2017. For more information regarding Banfora’s Mineral Reserves and Resources and related notes, please refer to the NI 43-101compliant technical report for the Banfora Project dated October 20, 2017 accessible on the Company’s website at www.terangagold.com and on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

4) This production target is based on proven and probable reserves only from Teranga’s Sabodala Project as at June 30, 2017. For more information regarding Teranga Gold’s Mineral Reserves and Resources and relatednotes, please refer to the NI 43-101 compliant technical report for the Sabodala Project dated August 30, 2017 accessible on the Company’s website at www.terangagold.com and on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

5) This production target is based on proven and probable ore reserves only for Teranga’s Banfora Project as at September 7, 2017. For more information regarding the Banfora’s Mineral Reserves and Resources and relatednotes, please refer to the NI 43-101 compliant technical report for the Banfora Project dated October 20, 2017 accessible on the Company’s website at www.terangagold.com and on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

6) This Sabodala free cash flow is an estimate that is based on the updated life of mine plan and reserve estimate for the Sabodala project, as set out in the Technical Report of Teranga for the Sabodala Project, Senegal, WestAfrica, dated August 30, 2017 (the “Sabodala Technical Report”). See in particular Section 21 of the Sabodala Technical Report - Capital and Operating Costs.

7) See the NI 43-101 compliant technical report for the Banfora Project. This LOM production plan assumes that the Banfora Project plant construction will commence in Q1 2018. If the Banfora plant construction commences inQ2 2018 instead, the LOM production plan is expected to shift by several months.

8) The Company executed gold sales contracts totaling 131,000 ounces of gold commencing October 1, 2017 through December 31, 2018, at a price of $1,336 per ounce of gold. The forward sale contracts can be settled at theoption of Teranga in either cash or by physical delivery of gold. As part of this forward sales program, 25,000 ounces of gold are due for settlement during the fourth quarter of 2017, with 26,500 ounces of gold for settlementdue in each of the four quarters of 2018, for a total of 131,000 ounces of gold due for settlement during this period. The incremental free cash flow benefit to Teranga is calculated by multiplying the total ounces under theforward sales program of 131,000 ounces of gold by the difference between the hedge price of $1,336 per ounce and the Company’s long-term gold price assumption of $1,250 per ounce.

9) Teranga’s consolidated cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2017 was $73.0 million. The sources and uses table assumes a cash balance of $80.0 million as of January 1, 2018. Actual consolidated cash andcash equivalents of Teranga as of January 1, 2018 could be more or less than this amount.

10) Marketable securities are valued based on September 30, 2017 share prices.11) There is no guarantee that Teranga will be able to negotiate and enter into a debt facility for $150 million in respect of the Banfora Project on or prior to January 1, 2018 on terms that are acceptable to it. Any such debt facility,

if entered into, could be for more or less than such amount.12) See the NI 43-101 compliant technical report for the Banfora Project. Banfora pre-production capital costs of $232 million are an estimate only and excludes $12 million in estimated construction readiness activities expected

to be spent prior to major construction. Banfora pre-production operating costs of $19 million are an estimate. Actual Banfora pre-production capital and operating costs could be greater or less than these amounts.13) Consolidated minimum cash represents the minimum amount of cash or working capital that the Company considers is appropriate to conduct day-to-day operations.14) Other considerations (uses) is an estimate of potential other uses of the Company’s cash during the period, including, but not limited to, discretionary exploration expenditures, financing costs and any cost overrun or minimum

cash requirements that might be contained in any completed debt financing agreement. Actual amounts may total more or less than the aggregate amount specified.
