Q3 2016 Financial & Operating Highlights

Friday, October 28, 2016

TSX & ASX: TGZ

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”, “trends”,

“indications”, “potential”, “estimates”, “predicts”, “forecasts”, “focused on”, “anticipate” or “does not anticipate”, “believe”, “intend”, “ability to” and similar expressions or

statements that certain actions, events or results “may”, “could”, “would”, “might”, “will”, or are “likely” to be taken, occur or be achieved, have been used to identify such

forward looking information. Specific forward-looking statements in this presentation include the commencement of expected drill programs, anticipated future life of mine

cash flows, anticipated future interests in Joint Venture projects, the anticipated completion of construction of the Banfora project - including the first gold pour, the anticipated

conversion of resources into reserves at the Banfora project, the timing of completion of an updated 2Mtpa Feasibility Study for the Banfora project, and Teranga’s estimated

full year financial and operating totals, such as production. 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 but that may prove to be incorrect.

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 Teranga’s Annual Information Form dated March 30, 2016, and in other filings of Teranga 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 as of October 28, 2016. All references to Teranga 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.

All dollar amounts stated are denominated in U.S. dollars unless specified otherwise.

Teranga Gold Competent & Qualified Persons Statement

34

The technical information contained in this Report relating to mineral resource estimates for the Company’s Sabodala Gold Operations is based on, and

fairly represents, information compiled by Ms. Nakai-Lajoie. Ms. Patti Nakai-Lajoie, P. Geo., is a Member of the Association of Professional Geoscientists

of Ontario, which is currently included as a "Recognized Overseas Professional Organization" in a list promulgated by the ASX from time to time. Ms.

Nakai-Lajoie is a full time employee of Teranga and is not "independent" within the meaning of National Instrument 43-101. Ms. Nakai-Lajoie has

sufficient experience which is relevant to the style of mineralization and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity which she is undertaking to

qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2004 Edition of the "Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore

Reserves". Ms. Nakai-Lajoie is a "Qualified Person" under National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects. Ms. Nakai-Lajoie

has consented to the inclusion in this Report of the matters based on her compiled information in the form and context in which it appears in this Report.

Teranga's exploration programs are being managed by Peter Mann, FAusIMM. Mr. Mann is a full time employee of Teranga and is not "independent"

within the meaning of National Instrument 43-101. Mr. Mann has sufficient experience which is relevant to the style of mineralization and type of deposit

under consideration and to the activity which 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. Mann is a "Qualified Person" under National Instrument 43-101

Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects. The technical information contained in this news release relating exploration results are based on, and fairly

represents, information compiled by Mr. Mann. Mr. Mann has verified and approved the data disclosed in this release, including the sampling, analytical

and test data underlying the information. The RC samples are prepared at site and assayed in the SGS laboratory located at the site. Analysis for

diamond drilling is sent for fire assay analysis at ALS Johannesburg, South Africa. Mr. Mann has consented to the inclusion in this news release of the

matters based on his compiled information in the form and context in which it appears herein.

Teranga's disclosure of mineral reserve and mineral resource information is governed by NI 43-101 under the guidelines set out in the Canadian Institute

of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (the "CIM") 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

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 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.

Endnotes1) 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. Total cash costs per ounce and all-in sustaining costs per ounce are

before stockpile inventory value adjustments and government waiver accruals. For more information regarding these measures, please refer to non-IFRS Performance Measures in the Company’s Management’s

Discussion & Analysis for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 accessible on the Company’s website at www.terangagold.com.

2) Pro forma cash balance at September 30, 2016 is defined as cash including equity placement in October 2016 by Tablo Corporation of $7.6 million.

3) Teranga’s Sabodala Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources for estimates as at December 31, 2015 as per Company disclosure. For more information regarding Teranga Gold’s Mineral Reserves and Resources and

related notes, please refer to Teranga Gold’s December Quarter and Year-end 2015 Report accessible on the Teranga’s website at www.terangagold.com.

4) The Mineral resources are as per Gryphon Minerals 2Mtpa Heap Leach Feasibility Study (JORC) released August 4, 2014. Despite the most recent Gryphon Reserve Estimate for the Banfora Gold Project of 826,000

ounces (17.4 Mt at 1.5 g/t) based on a lower capital cost heap leach processing option, Teranga has stated in the press release dated June 19, 2016, and in the Scheme Booklet announced on the ASX on August 17, 2016

and re-confirmed herein that Teranga’s preferred development path for the Banfora Gold Project will be based on an optimized CIL flowsheet. The Proven and Probable Mineral Reserve estimate of 1 million ounces

included in Teranga’s June 19, 2016 press release and herein is based on Gryphon’s CIL feasibility study Mineral Reserve estimate of 1.05 million ounces (16.7 Mt at 1.95 g/t) issued in January 2013. A number of relevant

factors have changed since this estimate was issued by Gryphon Minerals in 2013, and as such and benefitting from an optimization study to be completed by Teranga, we anticipate updating the feasibility study and the

resource and reserve estimates in the first half of 2017. Complete information is available on Gryphon’s website at www.gryphonminerals.com.au and filed on the ASX at www.asx.com.au.

5) 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 October 24, 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 BMO NPV calculation assumes a US$1,267 SPOT gold

price per ounce, 5% discount, 0.75 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 and nine months ended September 30, 2016 accessible on the Company’s website at www.terangagold.com.

6) The production guidance is based on existing proven and probable reserves only from the Sabodala mining license initially reported by Teranga Gold in its NI 43-101 Technical Report dated March 22, 2016. And as

disclosed in Appendix 2 of Teranga Gold’s 2015 Fourth Quarter ASX Report titled “Teranga Outperforms Cost Guidance” issued January 28, 2016 accessible on the Company's website at www.terangagold.com. The

estimated ore reserves underpinning this production guidance have been prepared by a competent person in accordance with the requirements of the 2012 Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral
