20 ENDNOTES In U.S. dollar amounts unless stated otherwise 1. 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 first quarter Management Discussion & Analysis available on the Company s website at 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. 2. 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 ,375 gold ounces of production are to be sold to Franco Nevada at 20% of the spot gold price. 4. 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. 5. Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources estimates as at December 31, 2013 as per technical reports and Company disclosure. For more information regarding Teranga Gold s Mineral Reserves and Resources, please refer to the full National Instrument Technical Report released on March 13, 2014 available on the Company s website at 6. 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. 7. Net cash (debt) is defined as total borrowings and financial derivative liabilities less cash and cash equivalents, bullion receivable and restricted cash. 8. 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. 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,
