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 activi ties) 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.

SABODALA MINE

LICENSE EXPLORATION

• $20M exploration program underway on

the Sabodala Mine License

• Potential to expand gold inventory on the

ML from 1.55 Moz’s to 2.5 – 3.5 Moz’s(1,2,3)

over 9 to 15 months increasing the mine

life to ~ 10 to 15 years

From:

• Deepening the Sabodala pit to the north along the

Main Flat Extension and now to the south-west

• Continuation of the Masato deposit

• Conversion of Niakafiri resources to

reserves

(1) Potential to expand existing gold mineralization to between 40 and 50 M tonnes at grades of

between 1.5 to 2.0 gpt Au for a total inventory of 2.5 to 3.5 Moz

(2) This exploration target is not a Mineral Resource. The potential quality and grade is

conceptual in nature and there has been insufficient exploration to define a Mineral

Resource. It is uncertain if further exploration will result in the determination of a Mineral

Resource.

CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY • CSR is fundamental to the success of our business

• Healthy, safety, education, sustainability

• Developing schools, health clinics, and improving access to

potable water

• Engaged a renowned Canadian group to assist us in putting

together a comprehensive regional development plan

• Along with local, regional, and national government

which we operate

• A key component of our vision is to set the benchmark in

Senegal for responsible mining

Mining Responsibly and Sharing the

Benefits

SUMMARY – FOCUSED ON GROWTH

1. Only mill in Senegal

2. Largest land position in Senegal

3. Rising production, declining costs

4. Building a stronger balance sheet

– increasing production and free cash flow with margin expansion

5. Extensive exploration program

6. Experienced management team

APPENDICES

Page 36: Producing and Exploring: June 2012

36

Basis for 2.5 – 3.5 Moz gold inventory from Mine License Expand upon existing gold mineralization by an additional 20M to 30M tonnes at grades of between 1.5 and 2.0 gpt for a total

inventory of 2.5 to 3.5 Moz from the Sabodala Mining License (“ML”) over the next 9 to 15 months.

The larger gold inventory base is expected to result from the success of deepening the Sabodala pit to the north along the

MFE/LFZ, extension of the Masato pit onto the ML, potential conversion of Niakafiri resources to reserves as well as adding to

the gold mineralization inventory below these three large open pits.

This exploration target is not a Mineral Resource. 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.

The goal of the MFE/LFZ programs is to add 500,000 to 1,000,000 ounces of gold to the open pit mineable gold inventory at an

average grade between 1.5 – 2.0 gpt, as well as adding underground gold inventory at an average grade between 3.0 – 4.0 gpt.

Rationale: Recent drilling confirms extension of mineralization to the north of the existing pit

Potential for identification of additional ounces through infill drilling within area of existing resources under the ML

Minimum 8 drill rigs and exploration budget of US$20M dedicated to ML alone in 2012

Program to continue to test similar geophysical anomalies and identified structures within the ML
