Forward-Looking Statements
All information included in this presentation, including any information as to Teranga’s future financial or operating performance and other statements that express management’s
expectations or estimates of future performance, other than statements of historical fact, constitute forward-looking information or forward-looking statements within the meaning of
applicable securities laws and are based on expectations, estimates and projections as of the date hereof. Forward-looking statements are included for the purpose of providing
information about management’s current expectations and plans relating to the future. Wherever possible, words such as “plans”, “expects”, “scheduled”, “trends”, “indications”, “potential”, “estimates”, “predicts”, “anticipate”, “to establish”, “believe”, “intend”, “ability to”, or statements that certain actions, events or results “may”, “could”, “would”, “might”, “will”, or are "likely" to be taken, occur or be achieved, or the negative of these words or other variations thereof, have been used to identify such forward-looking information.
Specific forward-looking statements include, without limitation, all disclosure regarding future results of operations, economic conditions and anticipated courses of action.
Although the forward-looking statements contained herein reflect management's current beliefs and reasonable assumptions based upon information available to management as
of the date hereof, Teranga cannot be certain that actual results will be consistent with such forward-looking information. Such assumptions include, among others, the ability to
obtain any requisite 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. For a more comprehensive discussion of the risks faced by Teranga, and which may cause the actual financial results, performance or achievements of Teranga to be materially different from estimated future results, performance or achievements expressed or
implied by forward-looking information or forward-looking statements, please refer to Teranga’s latest Annual Information Form filed with Canadian securities regulatory authorities
at www.sedar.com or on Teranga’s website at www.terangagold.com. The risks described in the Annual Information Form (filed and viewable on www.sedar.com and on
Teranga’s website at www.terangagold.com) are hereby incorporated by reference herein. Teranga disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking
statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by applicable law. Nothing herein should be construed as either an offer to sell
or a solicitation to buy or sell Teranga securities.

Asset Diversification and Scale Lead to Higher Valuation Multiples
• Teranga still trading as a single asset producer due to construction/commissioning risk of Wahgnion
• Re-rating opportunity once Wahgnion achieves commercial production and closes the gap on mid-tier West African producers who average ~1.3x
• Typically assets that are part of a larger diversified asset portfolio benefit from higher valuations

Non-IFRS Performance Measures The Company provides some non-IFRS financial measures as supplementary information that management believes may be useful to investors to explain the Company ’s financial results. Beginning in the second quarter of 2013, we adopted an “all-in sustaining costs” measure consistent with the guidance issued by the World Gold Council (“WGC”) on June 27, 2013, of which Teranga became a member on November 27, 2018. The Company believes that the use of all-in sustaining costs is helpful to analysts, investors and other stakeholders of the Company in assessing its operating performance, its ability to generate free cash flow from current operations and its overall v alue. This measure is helpful to governments and local communities in understanding the economics of gold mining. The “all-in sustaining costs” is an ex tension of existing “cash cost” metrics and incorporate costs related to sustaining production. “Total cash cost per ounce sold” is a common financial performance measure in the gold mining industry but has no standard meaning under IFRS. The Company reports total cash costs on a sales basis. We believe that, in addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with IFRS, certain inv estors use this information to ev aluate the Company’s performance and ability to generate cash flow . Accordingly, it is intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance w ith IFRS. The measure, along with sales, is considered to be a key indicator of a Company’s ability to generate operating profits and cash flow from its mining operations. Total cash costs figures are calculated in accordance w ith a standard dev eloped by The Gold Institute, w hich was a worldwide association of suppliers of gold and gold products and included leading North American gold producers. The Gold Institute ceased operations in 2002, but the standard is considered the accepted standard of reporting cash cost of production in North America. Adoption of the standard is voluntary and the cost measures presented may not be comparable to other similarly titled measure of other companies. The WGC definition of all-in sustaining costs seeks to ex tend the definition of total cash costs by adding corporate general and administrativ e costs, reclamation and remediation costs (including accretion and amortization), exploration and study costs (capital and ex pensed), capitalized stripping costs and sustaining capital expenditures and represents the total costs of producing gold from current operations. All-in sustaining costs exclude income tax payments, interest costs, costs related to business acquisitions and items needed to normalize profits. Consequently, this measure is not representativ e of all of the Company’s cash expenditures. In addition, the calculation of all-in sustaining costs and all- in costs does not include depreciation expense as it does not reflect the impact of expenditures incurred in prior periods. Therefore, it is not indicative of the Company’s overall profitability. The Company also ex pands upon the WGC definition of all-in sustaining costs by presenting an additional measure of “All-in sustaining costs (excluding non-cash inventory movements and amortized advanced royalty costs)”. This measure excludes cash and non-cash inventory mov ements and amortized advanced roy alty costs w hich management does not believe to be true cash costs and are not fully indicative of performance for the period. “Total cash costs per ounce”, “all-in sustaining costs per ounce” and “all-in sustaining costs (excluding non-cash inventory movements and amortized advanced royalty costs)” are intended to prov ide additional information only and do not have any standardized definition under IFRS and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. The measures are not necessarily indicative of operating profit or cash flow from operations as determined under IFRS. Other companies may calculate these measures differently . “Average realized price” is a non-IFRS financial measure. Management uses this measure to better understand the price realized in each reporting period for gold and silver sales. Average realized price is calculated on revenue and ounces sold to all customers, except Franco-Nevada, as gold ounces sold to Franco-Nev ada is recognized in revenue at 20 percent of the prevailing gold spot price on the date of delivery and 80 percent at $1,250 per ounce. The average realized price is intended to prov ide additional information only and does not have any standardized definition under IFRS; it should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. Other companies may calculate this measure differently. EBITDA is a non-IFRS financial measure, which excludes income tax and related expenses, finance costs (including accretion expense), interest income and depreciation and amortization from net (loss)/profit for the period. In 2019, Teranga amended the definition of EBITDA to exclude accretion expense to improve comparability of this non-IFRS financial measure with its peers. The comparativ e 2018 EBITDA has been restated to conform to the new presentation. EBITDA is intended to provide additional information to inv estors and analysts and do not have any standardized definition under IFRS and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. Management believ es that EBITDA is a valuable indicator of our ability to generate liquidity by producing operating cash flow to: fund working capital needs, service debt obligations and fund capital ex penditures. Beginning second quarter 2019, the Company adopted adjusted EBITDA as a new non-IFRS financial measure. Management believes that adjusted EBITDA is a valuable indicator of our ability to generate liquidity by producing operating cash flow to: fund working capital needs, service debt obligations and fund capital expenditures, after adjusting for factors not reflective of the underlying performance of the Company. Adjusted EBITDA is intended to provide additional information to investors and analysts and do not have any standardized definition under IFRS and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. The Company calculates adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA adjusted to exclude unrealized and realized foreign exchange gains and losses, gains and losses on deriv ative instruments, non-cash fair value changes, impairment provisions and reversals thereof, and other unusual or non-recurring items. “Free cash flow” is a non-IFRS financial measure. The Company calculates free cash flow as net cash flow provided by operating activ ities less sustaining capital expenditures. The Company believ es this to be a useful indicator of our ability generate cash for grow th initiativ es. Other companies may calculate this measure differently. "Adjusted net profit attributable to shareholders” and “adjusted basic earnings per share” are financial measures with no standard meaning under IFRS. These non-IFRS financial measures are used by management and inv estors to measure the underly ing operating performance of the Company. Presenting these measures from period to period is ex pected to help management and investors evaluate earnings trends more readily in comparison with results from prior periods. The Company calculates “adjusted net profit attributable to shareholders” as net (loss)/profit for the period attributable to shareholders adjusted to exclude specific items that are significant, but not reflective of the underlying operations of the Company, including: the impact of unrealized and realized foreign exchange gains and losses, gains and losses on deriv ative instruments, accretion ex pense on long-term obligations, the impact of foreign ex change movements on deferred taxes, non-cash fair value changes, impairment provisions and reversals thereof, and other unusual or non- recurring items. “Adjusted basic earnings per share” is calculated using the w eighted average number of shares outstanding under the basic method of earnings per share as determined under IFRS.

9. 22,500 ounces of Sabodala gold production are to be sold to Franco-Nevada Corporation (“Franco-Nevada”) at 20 percent of the spot gold price. All Wahgnion gold production is subject to a gold offtake payment agreement with Taurus Funds (“Offtake Agreement”) up to 1,075,000 ounces (see Financial Instruments section for more details).
10. All-in sustaining costs per ounce is a non-IFRS financial measure and does not have a standard meaning under IFRS. All-in sustaining costs per ounce sold calculated at the mine site level includes only total cash costs per ounce and sustaining capital expenditures. All-in sustaining costs for Sabodala includes sustaining capital expenditures but excludes growth capital related to the Sabodala village resettlement. Corporate administration and share-based compensation expense are presented separately in this table and are not allocated to the mine site level costs. All-in sustaining costs presented on a consolidated basis includes corporate administration and share-based compensation expense. All-in sustaining costs also includes non-cash inventory movements and non-cash amortization of advanced royalties. Excludes capitalized deferred stripping costs, included in mine production costs.
11. Share-based compensation expense assumes a constant share price of C$4.00 per Teranga share.
12. Exploration and evaluation costs includes both expensed exploration, primarily attributable to exploration work on exploration permits, and capitalized reserve development, which is work performed on mine licenses. In the second quarter, we have increased the lower end of the range from $5 million to $10 million to reflect actual and expected spend. The higher end of the range has not changed.
13. This forecast financial information is based on the following material assumptions for the remainder of 2019: gold price: $1,250 per ounce; Brent Crude Oil: $62 per barrel; Euro:USD exchange rate of 1:1.15. Other important assumptions: any political events are not expected to impact operations, including movement of people, supplies and gold shipments; grades and recoveries is expected to remain consistent with the life-of-mine plan to achieve the forecast gold production; and no unplanned delays in or interruption of scheduled production.
14. These figures have been updated in the second quarter to reflect initial estimates based on new plan for Wahgnion that is being developed.
15. These amounts may change depending on the point at which commercial production is reached at Wahgnion. Until such point, all pre-operating costs are capitalized and proceeds from gold ounces sold are recorded as a reduction to the Wahgnion development asset.
