Inferred Resources at the beginning of 2013 were 281koz. • Before starting developing Bouroum pits the management faced a problem of illegal miners which have been acting on Bouroum's territory. They were supposed to leave the future mine by. the end of August because of the rain season, but the situation has gotten much worse. The total amount of illegal miners increased from 2000 to 10 000 during the summer. • ⚫ The start of pits development was planned for September 2013 and this problem could delay the planned launching of works relating to construction, fencing off the territory, etc. Joint efforts of local administration, legal and security departments, Taparko's communication. department and Nordgold's management have solved the problem with illegal miners in one month. • During September the successful negotiations with local authorities and communities were held. As the result the territory of Bouroum was purged from the illegal miners, the fence was installed and the illegal production was stopped.

To improve the particles size of the ore to match the increase in production from 140 TPH to 210 TPH a regrind mill has been installed and started in August 2012. An improvement of 15 % on the grind size has been achieved. B. In 2013 we encountered high graphite and pyrite levels in the ore creating a reduction in recovery. Modifications were done to reduce the preg-robbing effect of the graphite. The slow gold dissolving process is mainly due to high pyrite content. Additives were added to the slurry to improve the reaction kinetic. C. D. To increase the residence time, two new CIL tanks have been installed and started in August 2012. In 2013, the average residence time was close to 23 hours as per the feasibility steady. The tailing dam height increases in 2013 to support production for the next 2,5 years. The bottom and the berms of the tailing dam are covered by a 1.0 mm HDPE liners to eliminate risk of water table contamination. IE. ヨ Additional improvement projects and equipment will see 2014 throughputs to close to 2.0 Mtpa by the end of the year. 27#28PL01 Tex nordgold Process Plant Flowsheet Lane Cra 26HSTA 26-05-2 -CY- T SAMLO.G Cor fa T 56-796-41 21--01 Act Pay Twink Colyme ST-CLM-ET Seaty Sow 31-OCP-41 Treth Bowe C& Ta E AD THE W CLAMA 16S ACTO Quresh Gwen Cab London Carbon CTP THE SEANGA Pune PUP.COM Two Diam 50-PHO-01 TAPARKO COMMISSIONING FLOWSHEET 1 Process Plant 28#292013 Processing Performance (1/2) Tones milled in 2013 150,000 133,572 123,927 128,478 134,335 135,914 135,608 133,984 100,000 83,176 55,875 50,000 0 Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep % mill operating hours 2013 96.0 100 50 50 0 Jan 95.5 95.1 95.1 94.8 96.1 87.5 63.0 39.0 Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Mill throughput 2013 [t/hr] 187 200 193 197 196 192 183 192 187 142 150 100 50 0 Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep 29 nordgold#302013 Processing Performance (2/2) Gold head grade 2013 [Au g/t] 4 3.32 2.92 3.04 ♡ 2.75 2.64 2.86 2.55 2.30 2.50 2 1 0 Jan Gold recovery 2013 [%] Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep 100 79.66 84.24 83.16 81.99 86.30 77.64 73.71 74.34 76.68 50 0 Jan Gold produced [kg Au] Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep 400 328 311 275 300 265 250 254 240 210 158 200 100 0 Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep nordgold 30 30#31Efficiency program Project 1 Optimization of cyanide consumption 2 Optimization of caustic soda consumption • 3 Increase share of HFO in power generation 4 Decrease downtime of the plant due to electrical reasons 5 Installation of homogenizer 6 Other minor projects nordgold Description Oxygen addition, higher lime consumption will allow to decrease cyanide. consumption • Optimization of elutions leading to lower caustic soda consumption • Increase share of HFO in power generation in 4th quarter to 80% . . • • Purchase of new genset what will allow to generate enough power for mills start up in case of one of gensets repair Installation of homogenizer for utilization of used oil for power generation Optimization of PPE Reduction of fuel for rented equipment Implementation of bacterial beds Optimization of travel costs • • LV costs optimization .

Prolong the life of Taparko mine with discovery of additional reserves for the existing mine. and mill infrastructure. Exploration of 15km area around the mine using advanced techniques such as recent airborne geophysics, termite mound sampling and detailed mapping by senior geologists; so far most promising target is Goengo, which has potential to significantly increase the life of mine. No significant zones exist east or west of Taparko mill, work ongoing north and south along strike C. Exploration of rich quartz veins satellites in Bouroum region to feed the mill with high grade ore from deposits ~50 km away; the most advanced project in this category is Yeou. D.
