Teranga Gold Corporation ("Teranga") (TSX:TGZ)(ASX:TGZ) announced today that it
has mailed and filed on SEDAR and the ASX an amended and restated management
proxy circular for the upcoming annual and special meeting of shareholders of
Teranga to be held on July 18, 2013. 


At the meeting, among other things, shareholders will be asked to approve a
resolution authorizing the issuance of certain Teranga shares to complete the
acquisition of Oromin Explorations Ltd. ("Oromin") in connection with the
previously announced take-over bid by Teranga to acquire all of the issued and
outstanding Oromin shares that Teranga does not already own. 


Shareholders will also be asked to vote on the election of directors at the
meeting. Teranga's slate of nominees includes: 




--  Alan Hill 
--  Richard Young 
--  Christopher Lattanzi 
--  Alan Thomas 
--  Frank Wheatley 
--  Edward Goldenberg 
--  Nicholas Limb



Teranga also announces that Mr. Oliver Lennox-King has decided not to stand for
re-election at the upcoming meeting and as such is not included in the current
slate of nominees. Mr. Lennox-King has been a significant independent board
member, serving on three committees and chairing the Corporate Governance
Committee. With the signing of the Definitive Global Agreement with the
Government of Senegal and with the proposed acquisition of Oromin, Mr.
Lennox-King recognized that the board needed to increase its government
relations capabilities and at the same time agreed that a seat needed to be
offered to Mineral Deposits Ltd. ("MDL"). Therefore, Mr. Lennox-King graciously
offered to step down to allow for this transition in the board. 


"We would like to thank Oliver for his support and tremendous contribution to
Teranga over the last three years," said Mr. Hill, Teranga's Executive Chairman.


"We believe that our slate of seven highly qualified and experienced director
nominees, together with a management team that seeks to achieve the highest
level of corporate governance standards, is the right team to continue to build
shareholder value and fulfill our vision of becoming a mid-tier gold producer in
West Africa," said Mr. Hill in an accompanying letter to shareholders included
in the circular. Director Nominee, Mr. Eddie Goldenberg was instrumental in
representing Teranga in the recent negotiations with the Republic of Senegal
that culminated in the Company's historic Definitive Global Agreement with the
Government of Senegal on May 31, 2013, which resolved numerous tax, fiscal and
operational issues and set the foundation for finally executing on the Company's
consolidation strategy in Senegal.


Mr. Limb, the Executive Chairman of MDL, a 16.3% shareholder of Teranga, is also
welcomed by Teranga as a board nominee 'in the spirit of cooperation'. His
nomination comes after MDL, put-forth its own slate of nominees, seeking
shareholder representation. In the letter, Mr. Hill explains: "We believe that
this is fair and reasonable given MDL's ownership stake in Teranga. Our decision
also reflects input received from certain shareholders who support Mr. Limb as
being the most appropriate board nominee put forward by MDL. If elected by
shareholders, we look forward to working with Mr. Limb on our board."
