Teranga Gold Files Updated Technical Report for Sabodala
30.08.2017 | GlobeNewswire
Extends Mine Life to 14 YearsIncreases Gold Production for Next Five Years by 20% to More Than 1 Million Ounces, an Average of More Than 200,000 Ounces per Year Through 2022
TORONTO, Aug. 30, 2017 - Teranga Gold Corp. ("Teranga" or the "Company") (TSX:TGZ) (ASX:TGZ) announces the filing of a technical report pursuant to National Instrument Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects 43-101 (“NI 43-101”) for its Sabodala gold mine in Senegal, West Africa (the “Sabodala Technical Report”). The Sabodala Technical Report, which was prepared by Teranga and Roscoe Postle Associates Inc., conforms to NI 43-101 and supports the updated mineral reserves estimate and life of mine plan released on July 19, 2017. A copy of the Sabodala Technical Report has been filed on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and posted on the Company’s website at www.terangagold.com.
As previously announced, the Company’s proven and probable reserves at Sabodala increased to 2.7 million ounces of gold representing an increase of more than 400,000 ounces over the previous mineral reserves estimate. The majority of the new reserves come from the Niakafiri deposit, which is located less than five kilometres from the Sabodala process plant. The Sabodala mine plan has accordingly been re-sequenced to bring forward the development of the Niakafiri open pit deposits and defer underground development, improving Teranga’s five-year production and cash flow profile.
“We’re pleased with the update to Sabodala’s life of mine plan,” stated Richard Young, President and Chief Executive Officer of Teranga. “We have extended our mine life to 14 years and improved our five-year profile. Between 2018 and 2022, Sabodala’s gold production is expected to increase by 20% to more than one million ounces1 and generate a total of $230 million in free cash flow2, approximately two times the amount anticipated in the previous plan filed eighteen months ago.”
Mr. Young continued, “We will continue with our multi-year drilling program intended to further define near surface resources and reserves on the prospective Niakafiri trend.”

Non-IFRS Financial Performance Measures
The Company has included non-IFRS measures in this document, including “free cash flow”, “total cash cost per ounce of gold sold” and “all-in sustaining costs per ounce”. The Company believes that these measures, in addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with IFRS, provide investors an improved ability to evaluate the underlying performance of the Company. The non-IFRS measures are intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. These measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed under IFRS, and therefore may not be comparable to other issuers.
Total cash costs figures are calculated in accordance with a standard developed by The Gold Institute, which was a worldwide association of suppliers of gold and gold products and included leading North American gold producers. The Gold Institute ceased operations in 2002, but the standard is considered the accepted standard of reporting cash cost of production in North America. Adoption of the standard is voluntary and the cost measures presented may not be comparable to other similarly titled measure of other companies. The World Gold Council (“WGC”) definition of all-in sustaining costs seeks to extend the definition of total cash costs by adding corporate general and administrative costs, reclamation and remediation costs (including accretion and amortization), exploration and study costs (capital and expensed), capitalized stripping costs and sustaining capital expenditures and represents the total costs of producing gold from current operations. All-in sustaining cost excludes income tax payments, interest costs, costs related to business acquisitions and items needed to normalize earnings. Consequently, this measure is not representative of all of the Company’s cash expenditures. In addition, the calculation of all-in sustaining costs does not include depreciation expense as it does not reflect the impact of expenditures incurred in prior periods. Therefore, it is not indicative of the Company’s overall profitability. Life of mine total cash costs and all-in sustaining costs figures used in this press release are before cash/non-cash inventory movements and amortized advanced royalty costs, and exclude any allocation of corporate overheads. Other companies may calculate this measure differently. The Company calculates free cash flow as net cash flow provided by operating activities less sustaining capital expenditures. The Company believes this to be a useful indicator of its ability to generate cash for growth initiatives. Other companies may calculate this measure differently.

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. See the Appendix for the JORC Code explanations relating to the results in this press release.

Notes for Mineral Reserves Estimates
- CIM definitions were followed for Mineral Reserves.
- Mineral Reserve cut-off grades range from 0.38 g/t to 0.57 g/t Au for oxide and 0.44 g/t to 0.63 g/t Au for fresh rock based on a $1,200/oz gold price.
- Underground Mineral Reserve cut-off grades range from 2.3 g/t to 2.6 g/t Au based on a $1,200/oz gold price.
- Mineral Reserves account for mining dilution and mining ore loss.
- Proven Mineral Reserves are based on Measured Mineral Resources only.
- Probable Mineral Reserves are based on Indicated Mineral Resources only.
- Sum of individual amounts may not equal due to rounding.
- The Niakafiri East and West deposits are adjacent to the Sabodala Village and relocation of at least some portion of the village will be required which will necessitate a negotiated resettlement program with the affected community members.

Notes to Life of Mine Operating Costs:
- Excludes any deferred stripping adjustments beyond 2017.
- Royalties include Government of Senegal royalties on total production and the NSR royalty due to Axmin on Gora production.
- 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 cash/non-cash inventory movements and amortized advanced royalty costs, and excludes allocation of corporate overheads. Please refer to non-IFRS Performance Measures.
This production guidance is based on existing proven and probable reserves only from the Sabodala mining licence as disclosed in the Reserves and Resources section of the NI 43-101 Sabodala Project Technical Report filed on www.SEDAR.com on August 30, 2017.
Key assumptions: Gold spot price/ounce - US$1,250, Light fuel oil - US$0.81/litre, Heavy fuel oil - US$0.46/litre, US/Euro exchange rate - $1.10.
