For a full explanation of Financial, Operating, Exploration and Development
results please see the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as at
and for the period ended March 31, 2014 and the associated Management's
Discussion & Analysis at www.terangagold.com.
-- First quarter operating results put Company on track to meet its full
year guidance of 220,000 to 240,000 gold ounces(1) at total cash costs
of $650 to $700 per ounce and all-in sustaining costs of $800 to $875
per ounce (2).
-- Gold production for the three months ended March 31, 2014 totaled 52,090
ounces of gold.
-- Total cash costs were $696 per ounce sold (2) and all-in sustaining
costs were $813 per ounce sold (2), for the three months ended March 31,
2014.
-- Consolidated profit attributable to shareholders of $4.0 million ($0.01
per share) in first quarter.
-- During the first quarter, the Company acquired the balance of the
neighboring property - Oromin Joint Venture Group (OJVG) that it did not
already own by way of $135 million stream transaction with Franco-Nevada
to complete the acquisition and to retire $30 million of $60 million
bank debt facility.
-- Development of the Masato deposit, the first of the OJVG deposits to be
mined, has already begun and is ahead of schedule. These ounces will
contribute to a stronger second half of 2014 as per the mine plan.
-- Subsequent to the quarter end, the Company announced an agreement with a
syndicate of underwriters to purchase 36,000,000 common shares, on a
bought deal basis, at a price of C$0.83 per share for gross proceeds of
approximately C$30.0 million.
-- Cash balance at March 31, 2014 was $28.7 million, including restricted
cash. With the expected net proceeds from the bought deal, on a pro
forma basis, the Company's cash balance at March 31, 2014 would be
approximately $54 million.
"The operations are running very well and we see tremendous opportunity to
increase reserves on the combined 246km2 mine licenses, as well as, make
significant gold discoveries on our 70km of strike on this emerging gold belt.
We expect to have a decade of steady production and strong free cash flows that
we can build on. The recently announced financing strengthens our balance sheet
and allows us to plan and execute on our growth initiatives irrespective of
short term volatility in the gold price," said Richard Young, President and CEO.
(1) This production guidance is based on existing proven and probable reserves
only from both the Sabodala mining license and OJVG mining license as disclosed
in the Company's Management's Discussion and Analysis for the year ended
December 31, 2013. 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 Resources and Ore Reserves (the "JORC Code"). This production guidance
also assumes an amendment to OJVG mining license to reflect processing of OJVG
ore through the Sabodala mill.

OPERATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS (details in Review of First Quarter Operating Results table)
-- First quarter operating results put Company on track to meet its full
year guidance of 220,000 to 240,000 gold ounces at total cash costs of
$650 to $700 per ounce and all-in sustaining costs of $800 to $875 per
ounce.
-- Gold production for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was 52,090
ounces of gold, 24 percent lower than the same prior year period. Lower
production was due to lower processed grades, partly offset by higher
mill throughput.
-- Total cash costs for the three months ended March 31, 2014 were $696 per
ounce, compared to $535 per ounce in the same prior year period. The
increase in total cash costs was mainly due to a decrease in the grade
processed during the quarter compared to the prior year period as well
as lower capitalized deferred stripping.
-- All-in sustaining costs for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 were $813
per ounce, 9 percent lower than the same prior year period. Lower all-in
sustaining costs were mainly due to lower sustaining and development
capital expenditures, a reduction in reserve development expenditures in
2014 and lower capitalized deferred stripping.
-- Total tonnes mined for the three months ended March 31, 2014 were 11
percent lower compared to the same prior year period. Total tonnes mined
are expected to decline further in the second half of the year in line
with the Company's plan to minimize material movement in the current
gold price environment with a focus on maximizing free cash flows in
2014.
-- During the quarter, mining activities were mainly focused on the middle
benches of phase 3 of the Sabodala pit, while in the prior year period,
mining primarily took place in a high grade ore zone on lower benches of
phase 2.
-- Total mining costs were 4 percent lower than the same prior year period
due to decreased material movement. Unit mining costs for the three
months ended March 31, 2014 were 8 percent higher than the same prior
year period mainly due to fewer tonnes mined.
-- Ore tonnes milled for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 were 28 percent
higher than the same prior year period due to improvements made during
the first and second quarters of 2013 to reduce the frequency and
duration of unplanned downtime and an increase in throughput in the
crushing circuit to match mill capacity.
-- Processed grade for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 was 39 percent
lower than the same prior year period. Mill feed during the first
quarter of 2014 was sourced from ore from phase 3 of the Sabodala pit at
grades closer to reserve grade. In the prior year period, mill feed was
sourced from a high grade zone on the lower benches of phase 2 of the
Sabodala pit.
-- Total processing costs for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 were 4
percent higher than the same prior year period, mainly due to higher
throughput. Unit processing costs for the quarter ended March 31, 2014
were 19 percent lower than the prior year period, due to higher tonnes
milled.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS (details in Review of First Quarter Financial Results table)
-- Gold revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was $69.8 million
compared to $113.8 million in the same prior year period. The decrease
in gold revenue compared to the prior year quarter was due to lower
production and lower spot gold prices during the first quarter of 2014.
-- Consolidated profit attributable to shareholders for the three months
ended March 31, 2014 was $4.0 million ($0.01 per share) compared to
$45.0 million in the same prior year period. The decrease in profit and
earnings per share over the prior year quarter were primarily due to
lower gross profit from lower revenues in the current year quarter.
-- Operating cash flow for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 provided cash
of $14.3 million compared to $23.6 million cash provided in the prior
year. The decrease in operating cash flow compared to the prior year
quarter was due to lower gross profit from lower revenues and
acquisition related expenses, partly offset by an increase in net
working capital inflows during the first quarter of 2014. During the
current year quarter, payments of $7.3 million were made for expenses
related to the acquisition of Oromin and the Oromin Joint Venture Group
("OJVG").
-- Capital expenditures for the three months ended March 31, 2014 were $2.7
million compared to $22.2 million in the same prior year quarter. The
decrease in capital expenditures over the prior year quarter was mainly
due to lower sustaining and development expenditures, lower deferred
stripping charges and lower capitalized reserve development expenditures
in the first quarter of 2014.
-- During the first quarter of 2014, 53,767 ounces were sold at an average
gold price of $1,293 per ounce. During the first quarter of 2013, 69,667
ounces were sold at an average price of $1,090 per ounce, including
45,289 ounces being delivered into gold hedge contracts at an average
price of $806 per ounce.
-- The Company's cash balance at March 31, 2014 was $28.7 million,
including restricted cash. Cash and cash equivalents were lower compared
to both the prior year quarter and the most recently completed year
ended December 31, 2013, due to one-time payments related to the
acquisition of the OJVG, including $7.3 million for transaction, legal
and office closure costs and $7.5 million to acquire Badr Investment
Ltd.'s ("Badr") share of the OJVG, and higher debt repayments made
during the first quarter 2014.
-- Subsequent to the quarter end, on April 10, 2014, the Company announced
that it had entered into an agreement with a syndicate of underwriters
to purchase 36,000,000 common shares, on a bought deal basis, at a price
of C$0.83 per share for gross proceeds of approximately C$30.0 million.
Net proceeds are expected to be approximately C$28.0 million after
consideration of underwriter fees and expenses totaling approximately
C$2.0 million. On a pro-forma basis, the Company's cash balance at March
31, 2014 would be approximately $54.2 million.
-- The agreement is scheduled to close on or about May 1, 2014. This
financing strengthens our balance sheet and allows us to plan and
execute on our growth initiatives highlighted in our "Strategy" section,
notwithstanding near term gold price volatility.
OUTLOOK 2014
-- The Company continues to execute its 2014 plan designed to maximize free
cash flow. Gold production for 2014 is expected to be between 220,000 to
240,000 ounces with total cash costs of $650 to $700 per ounce and all-
in sustaining costs of $800 to $875 per ounce, all in line with
guidance.
-- Total exploration and evaluation expenditures for the Sabodala and OJVG
mine licenses as well as the Regional Land Package was originally
expected to total approximately $10 million, however, that amount may be
increased marginally to expedite the conversion of resources to reserves
on the mine licenses.
-- Administrative and Corporate Social Responsibility expenses are expected
to be $15 to $16 million, in line with guidance. These include corporate
office costs, Dakar and regional office costs and corporate
responsibility costs, but exclude corporate depreciation, transaction
costs and other non-recurring costs,
-- Sustaining capitalized expenditures, including sustaining mine site
expenditures, project development expenditures, capitalized deferred
stripping, reserve development expenditures and payments to the
Government of Senegal were originally expected to be $28 to $33 million.
The Company now expects to spend an additional $5 million on further
growth opportunities (see Strategy section) including opportunities to
expedite the conversion of resources to reserves on our mine licenses;
opportunities to accelerate heap leach testing and related activities;
and mill optimization opportunities to increase the milling rate. As a
result, total capital expenditures are now expected to be between $33 to
$38 million in 2014.
-- Total depreciation and amortization for the year is expected to be
between $285 and $315 per ounce sold, comprised of $125 to $140 per
ounce sold related to depreciation on Sabodala plant, equipment and mine
development assets, $40 to $45 per ounce sold related to assets acquired
with the OJVG and $120 to $130 per ounce sold for depreciation of
deferred stripping assets. At the end of 2014, the balance of the
deferred stripping asset is expected to be approximately $32 million,
which will be amortized over phase 4 of the Sabodala pit.
STRATEGY
Strategy for 2014 and Beyond
-- During the first quarter 2014, the Company filed a National Instrument -
Standards of Disclosures for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101") technical
report which include an integrated life of mine ("LOM") plan for the
combined operations of Sabodala and the OJVG. The integrated LOM has
been designed to maximize free cash flow in the current gold price
environment. The sequence of the pits can be optimized, as well as the
sequencing of phases within the pits, based not only on grade, but also
on strip ratio, ore hardness, and the capital required to maximize free
cash flows in different gold price environments. As a result, the
integrated LOM annual production profile represents an optimized cash
flow for 2014 and a balance of gold production and cash flow generated
in the subsequent five years. There are opportunities to increase gold
production in years 2015-2018 based on current reserves. With
expectations for additional reserves, including infill drilling of the
high grade zone at Masato, further mine plan optimization work is
required. As a result, the integrated LOM production schedule represents
a "base case" scenario with flexibility to improve gold production
and/or cash flows in subsequent years.
-- With the OJVG acquisition now complete the Company has outlined its
short, medium and long-term objectives.
In the short-term (2014-2015):
i. Integrate OJVG and Sabodala operations;
ii. Increase free cash flow through higher production and lower material
movement, in part to retire the balance of the debt facility
outstanding; and
iii. Increase reserves through the conversion of Measured, Indicated and
Inferred Resources.
In the medium-term (2014-2016):
i. Evaluate the heap leach processing option (permit and build if the
returns meet Teranga's hurdle rate);
ii. Continue to look for ways to improve mill throughput; and
iii. Optimize mine planning and grade.
In the long-term (2015 onward):
i. Remain disciplined about investments in exploration with a commitment
to a modest, multi-year exploration program; and
ii. Look to make exploration discoveries on the regional exploration land
package by continuing to systematically work through the many targets
and prospects.
-- The Company expects to create value for shareholders by maximizing free
cash flows in the short-term by integrating the OJVG allowing for annual
production of approximately 250,000 ounces at lower quartile all-in
sustaining costs of about $900 per ounce and a high conversion of EBITDA
into free cash flow.
-- In the longer term, the Company expects to create shareholder value by
leveraging the existing processing infrastructure, while adding
profitable reserves and potentially expanding its processing capacity.
All capital projects will be evaluated based on a disciplined capital
allocation strategy based on robust hurdle rates and quick payback
periods. The Company is focused on only gold and only in Senegal.
FRANCO-NEVADA GOLD STREAM
-- On January 15, 2014, the Company completed a gold stream transaction
with Franco-Nevada Corporation ("Franco-Nevada"). The Company is
required to deliver 22,500 ounces annually over the first six years
followed by 6 percent of production from the Company's existing
properties, including those of the OJVG, thereafter, in exchange for a
deposit of $135.0 million. Franco-Nevada's purchase price per ounce is
set at 20 percent of the prevailing spot price of gold.
-- The deposit of $135.0 million has been treated as deferred revenue
within the statement of financial position.
-- During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company delivered
5,625 ounces of gold to Franco-Nevada. The Company recorded revenue of
$7.3 million, consisting of $1.5 million received in cash proceeds and
$5.8 million recorded as a reduction of deferred revenue.
ACQUISITION OF THE OJVG
-- During the third and fourth quarters of 2013, the Company issued
71,183,091 Teranga shares to acquire all of the Oromin shares (Oromin
being one of the three joint venture partners holding 43.5 percent of
the OJVG) for total consideration of $37.8 million.
-- On January 15, 2014, the Company acquired the balance of the OJVG that
it did not already own from Bendon International Ltd. ("Bendon") and
Badr.
-- The Company acquired Bendon's 43.5 percent participating interest in the
OJVG for cash consideration of $105.0 million. Badr's 13 percent carried
interest in the OJVG was acquired for cash consideration of $7.5 million
and further contingent consideration based on higher realized gold
prices and increases to OJVG reserves through 2020. The acquisitions of
Bendon's and Badr's interest in the OJVG were funded by the gold stream
agreement with Franco-Nevada and from the Company's existing cash
balance, respectively.
-- The acquisition of Bendon's and Badr's interests in the OJVG increased
the Company's ownership to 100 percent and consolidated the Sabodala
region, increasing the size of the Company's interests in mine license
from 33km2 to 246km2, more than doubling the Company's reserve base and
is anticipated to provide the Company with the flexibility to integrate
the OJVG satellite deposits into its existing operations. The
contribution of 100 percent of the OJVG has been reflected into
Teranga's results from January 15, 2014.
-- Acquisition related costs of approximately $1.2 million have been
expensed during the first quarter of 2014 and are presented within
"Other expenses" in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income.
GORA DEVELOPMENT
-- The Gora deposit which hosts 0.29 million ounces of proven and probable
reserves at 4.74 g/t is planned to be operated as a satellite to the
Sabodala mine requiring limited local infrastructure and development.
Ore will be hauled to the Sabodala processing plant by a dedicated fleet
of trucks and processed on a priority basis, displacing lower grade feed
as required.
-- A technical report and an environmental and social impact assessment
("ESIA") was provided to the Senegalese government with a subsequent
public consultation. A revised ESIA addressing items revealed in the
public consultation was submitted on April 1, 2014.
-- Management expects the permit process to be completed in 2014 and
construction to be initiated based on the new integrated LOM plan with
the OJVG. Initial engineering and site surveys are planned for mid-year
to allow for initiation of the access road construction in late 2014.
SABODALA MINE LICENSE (ML) RESERVE DEVELOPMENT
-- The Sabodala Mine License covers 33km2 and, in addition to the mine
related infrastructure, contains the Sabodala, Masato, Niakafiri,
Niakafiri West, Soukhoto and Dinkokhono deposits.
Niakafiri
-- Additional surface mapping was carried out at Niakafiri in conjunction
with the re-logging of several diamond drill holes which was
incorporated into the geological model for the Niakafiri deposit in
2013. Further exploration work, including additional drilling is
targeted in the current year. Discussions with Sabodala village
regarding drilling remain ongoing.
-- In addition to potential reserves addition in hard ore using
conventional CIL economics, exploring for potential softer ore conducive
to heap leach is also being targeted, with emphasis on the mineralized
trend to the north and south of the current reserves at Niakafiri.
OJVG MINE LICENSE
-- The OJVG mine license covers 213km2. As we have integrated the OJVG
geological database into a combined LOM plan, a number of areas have
been revealed as potential sources for reserves addition within the
mining lease. These targets have been selected based on potential for
discovery and inclusion into open pit reserves.
Masato
-- Development of the Masato deposit has begun and is ahead of schedule.
Access road construction, waste dump preparation, initial infrastructure
and bench development are expected to be completed during the second
quarter before rainy season, with mining planned for the fourth quarter
of this year in line with Company guidance for the year. In addition,
geology programs including infill drilling of the high grade zones,
condemnation drilling for waste dump areas and a gridded pattern drill
program have either been initiated or are planned to start during the
second quarter.
-- Drilling is planned during the second and third quarters for the Masato
orebody for potential conversion of inferred resources and to infill
drill the high grade "cores" so that the structural continuity can be
better understood. Additionally, a 2km soil geochemical anomaly along an
extending trend to the north east of the current reserves will be tested
to determine potential for additional resources.
Golouma
-- Infill drilling is planned for potential conversion of inferred
resources and evaluating the mineralization potential of structural
features along strike to the existing reserves.
Kerekounda
-- Both reverse circulation ("RC") and diamond drill ("DD") drilling is
planned to determine the extent of mineralization further along strike
of the existing reserves.
Niakafiri SE and Maki Medina
-- Both RC and DD drilling is planned for potential conversion of inferred
resources, geotechnical holes for pit wall determination and exploratory
holes to the north toward the Niakafiri deposit to evaluate extension
along strike. Pending results of the heap leach test work, additional
drilling to determine near surface oxide resources may also be
evaluated.
REGIONAL EXPLORATION
-- The Company currently has 9 exploration permits encompassing
approximately 1,055km2 of land surrounding the Sabodala and OJVG mine
licenses (246km2 exploitation permits). Over the past 3 years, with the
initiation of a regional exploration program on this significant land
package, a tremendous amount of exploration data has been collected and
systematically interpreted to prudently implement follow-up programs.
Targets are therefore in various stages of advancement and are then
prioritized for follow-up work and drilling. Early geophysical and
geochemical analysis of these areas has led to the demarcation of at
least 50 anomalies, targets and prospects and the Company expects that
several of these areas will ultimately be developed into mineable
deposits. The Company has identified some key targets that despite being
early stage, display significant potential. However, due to the sheer
size of the land position, the process of advancing an anomaly through
to a mineable deposit takes time with a systematic approach to maximize
potential for success.
-- The exploration team uses a disciplined screening process to optimize
the potential for success in exploring the myriad of high potential
anomalies located within the regional land package.
-- The KC prospect underwent 3,500 metres of trenching across a mineralized
structural trend approximately 1,800 metres along strike of intense
quartz veining and brecciated felsic intrusives. Assay and mapping
results are currently being evaluated and if warranted, follow up
drilling will commence in the second quarter.
-- The Ninienko and Soreto/Diabougou prospects all demonstrate significant
surface mineralization, geochemical and geophysical markers within
consistent geological zones for gold mineralization providing potential
for significant discoveries. These prospects along with other smaller
potentially satellite deposits are planned to undergo various stages of
trenching, RC and DD programs in the second quarter.
-- Additionally, the Garaboureya prospect shows promise through high soil
geochemical anomalies and mineralization in outcropping rock, this is
planned to be evaluated later in the year.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
This news release contains certain statements that constitute forward-looking
information within the meaning of applicable securities laws ("forward-looking
statements"). Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks,
uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual results, performance
or achievements of Teranga, or developments in Teranga's business or in its
industry, to differ materially from the anticipated results, performance,
achievements or developments expressed or implied by such forward-looking
statements. Forward-looking statements include, without limitation, all
disclosure regarding possible events, conditions or results of operations,
future economic conditions and courses of action, the proposed plans with
respect to mine plan and consolidation of the Sabodala Gold Project and OJVG
Golouma Gold Project, mineral reserve and mineral resource estimates,
anticipated life of mine operating and financial results, targeted date for a NI
43-101 compliant technical report, amendment to the OJVG mining license, the
approval of the Gora ESIA and permitting and the completion of construction
related thereto. Such 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. 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 and courses of action. Teranga cautions
you not to place undue reliance upon any such forward-looking statements, which
speak only as of the date they are made. 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 the Company's Annual Information Form dated March 31, 2014,
and in other company filings 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.

Teranga's disclosure of mineral reserve and mineral resource information is

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.
