Q2 2015 FINANCIAL & OPERATING

HIGHLIGHTS

July 30, 2015

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, which speak only as of the date they are made.

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 31, 2015, 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.

Q&A

The technical information contained in this presentation relating to mine plans and associated costs is based on, and fairly represents, information compiled by

Mr. William Paul Chawrun, P. Eng who is a member of the Professional Engineers of Ontario, which is currently included as a "Recognized Overseas

Professional Organization" in a list promulgated by the ASX from time to time. Mr. Chawrun is a full-time employee of Teranga and is a "qualified person" as

defined in NI 43-101 and a "competent person" as defined in the 2012 Edition of the "Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources

and Ore Reserves". Mr. Chawrun has sufficient experience relevant to the style of mineralization and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity he is

undertaking to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2012 Edition of the "Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources

and Ore Reserves". Mr. Chawrun has consented to the inclusion in this document of the matters based on his compiled information in the form and context in

which it appears in this presentation.

COMPETENT AND QUALIFIED PERSONS STATEMENT

21

1. Net cash (debt) is defined as total borrowings and financial derivative liabilities less cash and cash equivalents, bullion receivable and restricted cash.

2. Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources estimates as at December 31, 2014 as per Company disclosure. For more information regarding Teranga Gold’s Mineral Reserves and Resources,

please refer to the Company’s 2014 Annual MD&A available on the Company’s website at www.terangagold.com.

3. The production guidance is based on existing proven and probable reserves only from both the Sabodala mining license and Golouma mining license as disclosed in the Company’s December

31, 2014 Annual MD&A.

4. Total cash costs per ounce and all-in sustaining costs per ounce are non-IFRS financial measures and do not have a standard meaning under IFRS. Please refer to the Non-IFRS Financial

Measures section in the Company’s 2015 second quarter Management Discussion & Analysis available on the Company’s website at www.terangagold.com. All-in sustaining costs include:

total cash costs, administrative expenses (including share based compensation, and excluding corporate depreciation expense and social community costs not related to current operations),

capitalized deferred stripping, capitalized reserve development, and mine site sustaining & development capital expenditures as defined by the World Gold Council.

5. Key assumptions: Gold spot price/ounce - US$1,200, Light fuel oil - US$0.95/litre, Heavy fuel oil - US$0.76/litre, US/Euro exchange rate - $1.20, USD/CAD exchange rate - $0.85.Other

important assumptions include: any political events are not expected to impact operations, including movement of people, supplies and gold shipments; grades and recoveries will remain

consistent with the life-of-mine plan to achieve the forecast gold production; income tax rate for Teranga’s 25% in Senegal, royalty rate is 5%, the Company’s tax holiday ending May 2015, and

no unplanned delays in or interruption of scheduled production.

6. Free cash flow (“FCF”) is defined as operating cash flow less capital expenditures and includes the impact of the Franco-Nevada stream. For 2013 and 2014, FCF is before the OJVG

transaction costs.

7. 22,500 ounces of production are to be sold to Franco Nevada at 20% of the spot gold price. Due to the timing of shipment schedules near year end, the delivery of 1,875 ounces of gold for the

month of December was not received by Franco-Nevada until early January 2015. The transaction with Franco-Nevada permits for the delivery of payable gold for up to five business days

following a month end.

8. 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 for an exploration target that would substantiate the annual production targets set by the second and third phases of our vision. However, the

potential quantity and grade of an exploration target is conceptual in nature. There has been insufficient exploration to determine a mineral resource of the size required to achieve the

production target we have established and there is no certainty that further exploration work will result in the determination of mineral resources or that the production target itself will be

realized.

9. This production guidance assumes the conversion of a material portion of existing resources into reserves, the successful completion of drilling potential low grade heap leach material from the

combined mine license, and the completion of a pre-feasibility study confirming the economics and scale of operations of this proposed project.

10. In 2014, the Company reassessed the accounting for deferred stripping assets to include amortization of equipment directly related to deferred stripping activity. The impact of this adjustment

has been applied retrospectively from January 1, 2012. The six months ended June 30, 2015 includes the impact of restating the deferred income tax expenses related to temporary timing

differences.
