PRODUCING
AND
EXPLORING
INDABA – FEBRUARY 2013




                         1
CAUTIONARY STATEMENT
This presentation contains forward looking information, within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities legislation, and forward looking statements, within the
meaning of applicable United States securities legislation, 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”
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. A number of factors could cause actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from
the results expressed or implied in the forward looking information, including those listed in the “Risk Factors” section of Teranga’s Annual Information Form, dated
March 28, 2012 (the “AIF”). These factors should be considered carefully and prospective investors should not place undue reliance on the forward looking
information. Forward looking information necessarily involves significant known and unknown risks, assumptions and uncertainties that may cause Teranga’s actual
results, performance, prospects and opportunities in future periods to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward looking information. Although
Teranga has attempted to identify important risks and factors that could cause actual actions, events or results to differ materially from those described in the forward
looking information, there may be other factors and risks that cause actions, events or results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. There can be no
assurance that the forward looking information will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such
statements. Accordingly, prospective investors should not place undue reliance on such forward looking information. Teranga expressly 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 in accordance with
applicable securities law.

Forward looking information and other information contained herein concerning mineral exploration and management’s general expectations concerning the mineral
exploration industry are based on estimates prepared by management using data from publicly available industry sources as well as from market research and
industry analysis and on assumptions based on data and knowledge of this industry which management believes to be reasonable. However, this data is inherently
imprecise, although generally indicative of relative market positions, market shares and performance characteristics. While management is not aware of any
misstatements regarding any industry data presented herein, mineral exploration involves risks and uncertainties and industry data is subject to change based on
various factors.

In addition, please note that statements relating to “reserves” or “resources” are deemed to be forward looking information as they involve the implied assessment,
based on certain estimates and assumptions, that the resources and reserves described can be profitably mined in the future. While management has confidence in
its projections based on exploration work done to date, the potential quantity and grade disclosed herein is conceptual in nature, and there has been insufficient
exploration to define a mineral resource, therefore it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the targets being delineated as a mineral resource.

This presentation does not constitute in any way an offer or invitation to subscribe for securities in Teranga pursuant to the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) and has not
been lodged with the Australian Securities and Investment Commission.

OUR VISION




To become a preeminent gold 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

           •   2011 production of 131,461oz.
           •   2012 production of 214,310oz. at cash costs of $627/oz.
           •   2013 forecast production of 190,000 – 210,000oz. at cash costs of $650-$700/oz.

Phase 2: Increase annual gold production to 400,000 to 500,000 oz. with mill
         expansion as reserves increase

                                                                                                 4

FOCUS IS ON CONTINUED GROWTH
Focused on Growing Reserves
 •   To secure a reserve life to year 2020/25
 •   Growth through exploration
 •   Growth through regional opportunities (JV’s, acquisitions)

Focused on Growing Production
 •   Phase 1:   250,000 – 350,000oz. annual production by
                leveraging existing mill and land package
 •   Phase 2:   400,000 – 500,000oz. annual production, will
                require another mill expansion

Focused on Building Financial Strength
 •   Eliminating hedge book
 •   Expanding cash margins
 •   Increasing cash balance
 •   Use free cash flow to self-fund growth strategy
 •   Focusing on the ounces that provide the best returns
 •   Increase earning and cash flow per share (minimize dilution)

  • 2. CAUTIONARY STATEMENT This presentation contains forward looking information, within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities legislation, and forward looking statements, within the meaning of applicable United States securities legislation, 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” 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. A number of factors could cause actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from the results expressed or implied in the forward looking information, including those listed in the “Risk Factors” section of Teranga’s Annual Information Form, dated March 28, 2012 (the “AIF”). These factors should be considered carefully and prospective investors should not place undue reliance on the forward looking information. Forward looking information necessarily involves significant known and unknown risks, assumptions and uncertainties that may cause Teranga’s actual results, performance, prospects and opportunities in future periods to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward looking information. Although Teranga has attempted to identify important risks and factors that could cause actual actions, events or results to differ materially from those described in the forward looking information, there may be other factors and risks that cause actions, events or results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. There can be no assurance that the forward looking information will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Accordingly, prospective investors should not place undue reliance on such forward looking information. Teranga expressly 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 in accordance with applicable securities law. Forward looking information and other information contained herein concerning mineral exploration and management’s general expectations concerning the mineral exploration industry are based on estimates prepared by management using data from publicly available industry sources as well as from market research and industry analysis and on assumptions based on data and knowledge of this industry which management believes to be reasonable. However, this data is inherently imprecise, although generally indicative of relative market positions, market shares and performance characteristics. While management is not aware of any misstatements regarding any industry data presented herein, mineral exploration involves risks and uncertainties and industry data is subject to change based on various factors. In addition, please note that statements relating to “reserves” or “resources” are deemed to be forward looking information as they involve the implied assessment, based on certain estimates and assumptions, that the resources and reserves described can be profitably mined in the future. While management has confidence in its projections based on exploration work done to date, the potential quantity and grade disclosed herein is conceptual in nature, and there has been insufficient exploration to define a mineral resource, therefore it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the targets being delineated as a mineral resource. This presentation does not constitute in any way an offer or invitation to subscribe for securities in Teranga pursuant to the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) and has not been lodged with the Australian Securities and Investment Commission. 2
