The document discusses Teranga Gold Corporation's 2012 annual general meeting of shareholders. It focuses on growing reserves, growing production, and financial strength. Key points include plans to spend $40 million on exploration in 2012, including $20 million to potentially double gold inventory on the mine license to 2.5-3.5 million ounces through deeper drilling. It also outlines $20 million for regional exploration across the company's 1,500 square kilometer land package and operational highlights from 2011 aimed at increasing production.

3. 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 the prospectus of Teranga,
dated November 11, 2010 (the “Prospectus”). 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.

• $20M exploration program underway on
the Sabodala Mine License
• Potential to expand gold inventory on the
ML from 1.55M oz to 2.5 – 3.5M oz(1,2,3)
over 12 to 18 months increasing the mine
life to ~ 10 to 15 years
From:

37. KEY ASSUMPTIONS
Basis for 2.5 – 3.5M oz 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 3.5M oz from the Sabodala Mining License (“ML”) over the next 12 to 18 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 and 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 5 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
