5 Yanfolila Project 5

6 Yanfolila Overview Acquired all Gold Fields Mali assets in July 2014 The Yanfolila Project: o currently has 1.8Moz gold across multiple high grade pits o average grade 2.8g/t o is fully permitted o US$100m expenditure pre-hum Provides Hummingbird with rapid, low cost, low technical risk, route to production 6

7 Yanfolila Optimisation 2014 Infill Drill Data includes; SENET currently optimising the Gold Fields de-risking study: o Right sizing the Project to current gold price environment o Initially processing only oxide and transitional material 2.29g/t 2.73g/t 5.12g/t 8.67g/t 41.5g/t 20.52g/t o Lower capex and opex Optimisation to be completed by end 2014 Construction to start Q

8 Yanfolila Advancing to production Fully funded through construction with a two phase debt facility signed with Taurus Funds Management o o US$10m Bridge Facility drawn down US$75m debt financing package takes out the bridge facility and funds construction First production targeted by end 2015 o o o o First year production of over 80,000oz All-in sustaining costs of US$700/oz Capex US$52m IRR 53% at US$1,250 gold Resources 2 Category Tonnes (t) Grade (g/t) 3 Gold (oz) Measured - - Indicated 8,188, ,400 Inferred 11,910, ,000 Total 20,098, ,817,000 Resilient project with robust economics gold price sensitivities Gold Price (US$) IRR (post tax) 1,000 34% 1,250 53% 1,500 69% 8

10 Dugbe 1 Project 10

11 Dugbe 1 Overview First movers into Liberia in 2005 o Discovered 4.2Moz gold o Acreage of 3,000km 2 o 40 miles by road from Greenville Port o 20 yr. mine life o Large exploration upside 11

12 Dugbe 1 Resource 2Moz Indicated at 1.5g/t at Tuzon 2 deposits 2.6km apart Shallow dipping ore bodies LoM strip ratio of 4:1 Additional discovery already drilled at Sackor 12

13 Dugbe 1: Study status PEA Resources total 4.2Moz over 2 deposits Positive PEA in varying gold price environment: - at $1,300 gold has an IRR of 29% and an NPV (10%) of $186m 20 year mine life, 125,000oz/year production DFS Currently under optimisation Bringing Dugbe F ore in earlier in mine life Since PEA: grade up 15% on conversion to Indicated Metallurgical recovery up 2% to 90% recovery Power costs are down around 30% ESIA baseline studies completed 13

14 Dugbe 1 Optimising the DFS Yanfolila acquisition allows the time to re-asses the Dugbe 1 Project in order to maximise the economics: o Expand scope of resources within the DFS beyond Tuzon o Improved resource modeling and mine scheduling has demonstrated opportunities to improve cash flows by scheduling in low strip shallow ore from other deposits o Targeting ore from Dugbe F deposit within first 10 years mine life with the aim of improving the economics of the Dugbe 1 Project o Ongoing work on metallurgy and power o Focusing on Yanfolila for near term cash flow allows time for this work DFS optimisation work is ongoing and is expected to be completed during

15 Exploration Strategy 15

16 Mali: Longer term exploration upside 2,300km2 exploration acreage Multiple greenfield and brownfield exploration targets including: Kabaya South 1km of 7km strike tested 95,000 ozs Resource at 1.3g/t Significant Resource growth potential Potential Heap Leach operation Further exploration targets with known gold anomalies Badogo Malikila Sanioumale West Gonka Kangare Project One known deposit and five target areas 16,056m drilling inc. 3.29g/t from 16m depth 16 Mali Licence Map

17 Liberia: Exploration potential Over 140 exploration targets discovered across the Dugbe Shear Zone following the airborne survey Re-processing priority 1 targets to 1:10,000 for greater clarity Completion of sterilisation drilling of the Dugbe 1 Project Area Positive exploration soil results leading to follow up work around Dugbe 1 Project Identifying resource drill targets across the Dugbe Shear Zone part of Hummingbird s plan 17
