GOLD PRODUCTIONMasbate mine, The Philippines:
• Q3 2016 gold production was 47,676 oz at cash operating costs of $466 / oz, and AISC of $650 / oz
• YTD 2016 gold production was 157,591 oz at YTD record-low cash operating costs of $437 / oz, and AISC of $612 / oz
• Forecast Full-Year (FY) 2016 gold production is 200,000 - 210,000 oz at cash operating costs of $465 - $505 / oz and AISC of $680 - $720 / oz
Otjikoto mine, Namibia:
• Q3 2016 gold production was a record 47,564 oz at record cash operating costs of $344/oz, and AISC of $474 / oz
• YTD 2016 gold production was 119,439 oz at YTD record-low cash operating costs of $368/oz, and AISC of $611 / oz
• Forecast FY 2016 gold production is 160,000 - 170,000 oz at cash operating costs of $365 - $405 / oz and AISC of $600 - $640 / oz
La Libertad mine, Nicaragua:
• Q3 2016 gold production was 37,261 oz at cash operating costs of $637 / oz, and AISC of $788 / oz

Fekola mine construction, Mali:
• On budget and on schedule to commence production in Q4 2017
EXPLORATION AND DEVELOPMENT UPSIDEFekola project, Mali:
• Ongoing results demonstrate the potential for the Fekola area to host additional zones of open-pittable gold mineralization, similar to the Fekola deposit, as well as significant zones of saprolite-hosted gold mineralization (e.g. the Anaconda zone)
• Internal studies are currently underway to determine whether the new discoveries contain sufficient mineralization to supplement the Fekola project or if they constitute a viable, standalone project(4)
• Deeper drilling down plunge of the Fekola deposit has returned positive results that indicate the potential for future underground mining
Kiaka project, Burkina Faso:
• Positive exploration results at the new Toega prospects indicate the presence of new, potentially higher grade mineralized zones in the Kiaka area: this could have a positive effect on project economics
• B2Gold expects to complete updated aspects of the Kiaka feasibility study, potentially including Toega, by late 2017
• Next step: To look at the potential to include the Toega project with the Kiaka project
(1) Based on the original optimised feasibility study. For additional details regarding the optimised feasibility study, please refer to B2Gold’s corporate profile on www.sedar.com or the Company’s website at www.b2gold.com(2) Million tonnes per annum(3) Based on current assumptions. Updated life-of-mine plan based on 5 mtpa is expected to be completed in Q1 2017(4) Maiden resource for the Anaconda zone is expected by Q1 2017
B2GOLD PROJECT PROFILE
• Open-pit gold mine with average annual gold production for years 1-7 of 350,000 oz / y at cash operating costs of $418 / oz (based on low-grade stockpiling in the initial years of operation)(1)
• Fekola is being constructed with a +25% design factor. This will allow throughput capacity to be increased to 5 mtpa(2), beyond the optimized feasibility study’s estimated throughput of 4 mtpa
• Mill capacity expansion could potentially increase annual gold production by up to 20% (subject to mine planning)(3)
