Boss Resources Limited (ASX: BOE) (“ Boss ” or the “ Company ”) takes note that Teranga Gold Corporation ("Teranga" or the "Company") (TSX: TGZ) announced on 16 November 2017 (Canadian time) early-stage drilling success at its newest discovery, Jackhammer Hill, situated on its Golden Hill property in Burkina Faso, West Africa. Teranga has an earn-in agreement on the Golden Hill property with Boss Resources.

The diamond drill results at Jackhammer Hill were successful in discovering a large high-grade mineralized prospect. To date, there are four encouraging prospects drilled at Golden Hill: Ma, Nahiri, Peksou and Jackhammer Hill. All of the Golden Hill prospects drilled to-date are located approximately 5 kilometres from a central point. Previous exploration has alerted to there being high grade mineralisation in the permits.

The full Teranga announcement is enclosed.

Boss Managing Director, Mr Duncan Craib stated “Under an earn-in agreement with Boss, Teranga is fast tracking exploration activities with drilling results highlighting exciting intercepts at relatively shallow depths at the Golden Hill Project. In one of the fastest growing gold metallogenic areas of the world, Burkina Faso is a jurisdiction which supports gold mining and encourages fast development thereof.

Following two high-grade discoveries announced in April at the Golden Hill property in Burkina Faso, earlystage drilling continues to yield high-grade, near-surface and continuation at depth of gold mineralization drill results. As noted in the enclosed announcement “ Jackhammer Hill is our fourth prospect and newest drilling discovery at Golden Hill. Our most recent drilling here includes some very positive intersections, including core intervals of 15 metres averaging 5.72 grams per tonne of gold and 9 metres averaging 4.13 grams per tonne of gold in the same hole, GHDD-104. This demonstrates that multiple mineralized zones exist throughout Jackhammer Hill. As well, Jackhammer Hill is where our highest grade interval drilled to date at Golden Hill occurs – 14 metres averaging 110.6 grams per tonne, including one-metre displaying abundant visible gold which grades 1,499 grams per tonne of gold in GHDD-111. In total, we have successfully drilled 600 metres of strike length of a surface anomaly of more than one-kilometre extent .”

David Mallo, Teranga’s Vice President, Exploration, follows “ although we are still at an early stage, we recognize considerable upside for continued exploration success as we extend our drilling evaluation program at Jackhammer Hill both along trend beyond our initial target and to depth where the mineralized structures remain open to further expansion .”

Golden Hill Exploration Activities

Teranga has been regularly disclosing results of its recent drilling at the Golden Hill Gold Project. The announcements confirmed early-stage drilling continues to yield high-grade, near-surface oxide gold mineralization at its Golden Hill property in Burkina Faso, West Africa.

The Golden Hill property is comprised of three adjacent exploration permits covering 468km[2] located in southwest Burkina Faso in the central part of the Houndé Greenstone Belt. This belt hosts a number of highgrade gold discoveries, including the Siou, Yaramoko (being less than 50kms north of Golden Hill), and Houndé deposits (being contiguous with Golden Hill). To the south of Golden Hill is another large land position where active exploration programs are well underway. All of the Golden Hill prospects drilled todate are located approximately 5 kilometres from a central point.

These results confirm and expand the potential of the Golden Hill project to host shallow high grade gold.

Previously announced drill results are derived from the Ma and Nahiri propects, two new discoveries reported by Boss in April 2017, as well as initial drilling at two new targets, Peksou and Jackhammer Hill. All four prospects are proximally located within 5 kilometres of a central point (see ASX: 25 July 2017 and 14 September 2017 for full details).

Notably, the Ma prospect is developing into a Mineralised System that is more than 2 kilometres in length.

APPENDIX 2

JORC Code, 2012 Edition – Table 1 Report

Section 1: Sampling Techniques and Data

(Criteria in this section apply to all succeeding sections)

Criteria 2012 JORC Code explanation Commentary
Sampling
techniques

Nature and quality of sampling (e.g. cut
channels, random chips, or specific
specialised industry standard
measurement tools appropriate to the
minerals under investigation, such as
down hole gamma sondes, or handheld
XRF instruments, etc.). These examples
should not be taken as limiting the broad
meaning of sampling.

Include reference to measures taken to
ensure sample representivity and the
appropriate calibration of any
measurement tools or systems used.

Aspects of the determination of
mineralisation that are Material to the
Public Report.

In cases where ‘industry standard’ work
has been done this would be relatively
simple (e.g. ‘reverse circulation drilling was
used to obtain 1 m samples from which 3
kg was pulverised to produce a 30 g
charge for fire assay’). In other cases,
more explanation may be required, such
as where there is coarse gold that has
inherent sampling problems. Unusual
commodities or mineralisation types (e.g.
submarine nodules) may warrant
disclosure of detailed information.

A total of 16 Diamond Core holes (DD) at the
Jackhammer Prospect are being reported in this
news release. These drill holes are part of an
ongoing drilling program at the Golden Hill
Property where a number of Prospects are being
evaluated. Sampling is of half NQ2 core from the
DD drilling.

Drill core was sawn in half over 1-metre defined
sampling intervals, then one-half sampled and
assayed for gold. Oriented core markings were
used as guides for sawing. Occasionally quarter
core was submitted for check assays.

Diamond core was sampled selectively based on
visual identification of mineralisation. Further
sampling will occur should initial results warrant
extending the sampling intervals.
Drilling
techniques

Drill type (e.g. core, reverse circulation,
open-hole hammer, rotary air blast, auger,
Bangka, sonic, etc.) and details (e.g. core
diameter, triple or standard tube, depth of
diamond tails, face-sampling bit or other
type, whether core is oriented and if so, by
what method, etc.).

Diamond drill holes were drilled using standard
HQ or NQ sized rods.

Criteria 2012 JORC Code explanation Commentary
Drill sample
recovery

Method of recording and assessing core
and chip sample recoveries and results
assessed.

Measures taken to maximise sample
recovery and ensure representative nature
of the samples.

Whether a relationship exists between
sample recovery and grade and whether
sample bias may have occurred due to
preferential loss/gain of fine/coarse
material.

Diamond core recoveries were measured and
recorded for each sample. Core was sampled on
standard 1 m core lengths based on metre-to-
metre drill measurement markings.

Drill contractors have been requested to
maximize recoveries throughout each drill hole
and there has not been a significant issue with
core recovery in both oxide and fresh rock.

There is no evidence to suggest a relationship
between sample recovery and grade as there is
no significant loss of material. Sample recoveries
are of good quality.
Logging
Whether core and chip samples have
been geologically and geotechnically
logged to a level of detail to support
appropriate Mineral Resource estimation,
mining studies and metallurgical studies.

Whether logging is qualitative or
quantitative in nature. Core (or costean,
channel, etc.) photography.

The total length and percentage of the
relevant intersections logged.

Core samples were geologically and
geotechnically logged following established
standard operating procedures and includes
sufficient and appropriate detail to support
Mineral Resource estimation, mining and
metallurgical studies.

Logging is qualitative in nature. All core was
photographed.

All recovered core was logged, but not all drilled
core was sampled.

Criteria 2012 JORC Code explanation Commentary
Sub-sampling
techniques
and sample
preparation

If core, whether cut or sawn and whether
quarter, half or all core taken.

If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled,
rotary split, etc. and whether sampled wet
or dry.

For all sample types, the nature, quality
and appropriateness of the sample
preparation technique.

Quality control procedures adopted for all
sub-sampling stages to maximise
representivity of samples.

Measures taken to ensure that the
sampling is representative of the in situ
material collected, including for instance
results for field duplicate/second-half
sampling.

Whether sample sizes are appropriate to
the grain size of the material being
sampled.

Drill core sampling intervals were defined then
cut in half with a diamond saw along the core
length following orientation lines. Half core was
sampled over one-metre lengths.

The primary sample is pulverized in entirety at
BIGGs Laboratory in Ouagadougou by LM2 and
split to a 200g sub sample using riffle splitting. A
50g subsample from this pulp is then selected for
analysis. Sampling and subsampling methods
are industry standard and are appropriate for the
type of drilling. The use of the riffle tiered splitter
is a demonstrated method of accurately splitting
the primary sample and the field method has
been validated with the field duplicate data over
the 8 years of exploration activity in Burkina
Faso.

Field duplicate data is routinely reviewed and
show acceptable precision and variability.

Field duplicate data indicates acceptable
variability indicating coarse gold is not a
significant issue in the sampling.
Quality of
assay data
and laboratory
tests

The nature, quality and appropriateness of
the assaying and laboratory procedures
used and whether the technique is
considered partial or total.

For geophysical tools, spectrometers,
handheld XRF instruments, etc., the
parameters used in determining the
analysis including instrument make and
model, reading times, calibrations factors
applied and their derivation, etc...

Nature of quality control procedures
adopted (e.g. standards, blanks,
duplicates, external laboratory checks) and
whether acceptable levels of accuracy (ie
lack of bias) and precision have been
established.

Gold assays for Core drilling were obtained by
using a 50g charge for a lead collection fire
assay with an AAS finish. This is considered to
be total gold estimate. Assaying was conducted
in Ouagadougou by BIGGS Laboratories.

Not applicable

Certified reference materials, blanks and
duplicates are regularly inserted into the sample
preparation and analysis process with
approximately 10% of all samples being related
to quality control.

Data is reviewed before being accepted into the
database. Any batches failing QAQC analysis
resubmitted for check assays. Dataset QAQC
contains acceptable levels of precision and
accuracy.

Verification of
sampling and
assaying

The verification of significant intersections
by either independent or alternative
company personnel.

The use of twinned holes.

Documentation of primary data, data entry
procedures, data verification, data storage
(physical and electronic) protocols.

Discuss any adjustment to assay data.
~~•~~
Significant
intersections
have
been
reviewed by staff geologists to check the
geological context.

All sample and recovery data is recorded to
paper forms at the time of drilling. Data is then
keypunched into controlled excel templates with
validation. Geological logging is directly logged
into template log sheets by Toughbook computer.
The templates are then provided to an internal
database manager for loading in Datashed
database management software. Referential
integrity is checked as part of the data loading
process into Datashed.
Location of
data points

Accuracy and quality of surveys used to
locate drill holes (collar and down-hole
surveys), trenches, mine workings and
other locations used in Mineral Resource
estimation.

Specification of the grid system used.

Quality and adequacy of topographic
control.

Drill hole collar locations were surveyed by
trained site based technicians using real time
differential GPS (DGPS) to a sub decimetre
accuracy in horizontal and vertical position.
Signal correction completed using the Omnistar
network. Vertical precision was supplemented
using a Digital Surface Model created from
WorldView-2 stereo imagery incorporating DGPS
ground control points. Down hole drill hole
surveys were undertaken by the drill contractor
utilizing a Reflex EZ-Shot downhole survey
instrument and by single shot Eastman Cameras.
Survey intervals of 30m and end of hole were
routinely collected. No strongly magnetic units
are present within the deposit which may upset
magnetic based readings.

Topographic control is based on World View 2
stereoscopic processed image, providing
additional <1m RL precision.
Data spacing
and
distribution

Data spacing for reporting of Exploration
Results.

Whether the data spacing and distribution
is sufficient to establish the degree of
geological and grade continuity
appropriate for the Mineral Resource and
Ore Reserve estimation procedure(s) and
classifications applied.

Whether sample compositing has been
applied.

Drilling was spaced at distances nominally
divisible by 20m, typically on 40m centres.

Drilling is of an initial investigative nature and not
sufficient to define mineral resources at this time.

No sample compositing has been utilized.

Orientation of
data in
relation to
geological
structure

Whether the orientation of sampling
achieves unbiased sampling of possible
structures and the extent to which this is
known, considering the deposit type.

If the relationship between the drilling
orientation and the orientation of key
mineralised structures is considered to
have introduced a sampling bias, this
should be assessed and reported if
material.

Drill hole azimuths and dips have been oriented
as much as possible perpendicular to the
interpreted mineralised zones in order to
intersect the true widths of the zones as closely
as possible. Occasionally, drilling was planned at
oblique angles when the mineralisation trends
were not yet well defined or if the optimal collar
location was not accessible. Generally, the
majority of drilling is oriented such that the
sampling of mineralisation is unbiased.
~~•~~
While at an early stage drilling orientation is not
considered to introduce significant bias.
Sample
security

The measures taken to ensure sample
security.

Core samples are removed from the field
immediately upon drilling and stored in a secure
compound for sub sampling and preparation for
lab dispatch.

Samples are collected directly from site by the
laboratory. Sample submission forms are sent in
paper form with the samples as well as
electronically to the laboratory. Reconciliation of
samples occurs prior to commencement of
sample preparation of dispatches
Audits or
reviews

The results of any audits or reviews of
sampling techniques and data.

All QA/QC data is reviewed in an ongoing basis
and reported in monthly summaries. All QAQC

News Release

Teranga Gold Announces Latest Discovery at Golden Hill: Jackhammer Hill Prospect

Results include 5.72 g/t gold over 15 metres and 110.6 g/t gold (uncut) over 14 metres

Toronto, Ontario – November 16, 2017 – Teranga Gold Corporation ("Teranga" or the "Company") (TSX: TGZ) is pleased to announce early-stage drilling success at its newest discovery, Jackhammer Hill, situated on its Golden Hill property in Burkina Faso, West Africa. Teranga has an earn-in agreement on the Golden Hill property with Boss Resources Limited (ASX:BOE) pursuant to which Teranga, as the operator, can earn an 80% interest in the joint venture upon delivery of a feasibility study and the payment of AUD2.5 million.

These diamond drill results at Jackhammer Hill were successful in discovering a large high-grade mineralized prospect. To date, there are four encouraging prospects drilled at Golden Hill: Ma, Nahiri, Peksou and Jackhammer Hill. Each of these four prospects is located approximately 5 kilometres from a central point (Figure 1 in Appendix 1).

Jackhammer Hill Prospect Highlights

  • 15 m @ 5.72 g/t Au including 4 m @ 16.37 g/t Au including 1 m @ 42.1 g/t Au, and 9 m @ 4.13 g/t Au including 3 m @ 10.63 g/t Au including 1 m @ 25.3 g/t Au (GHDD-104)

  • 14 m @ 110.6 g/t Au including 5 m @ 306.7 g/t Au including 1 m @ 1,499 g/t Au (GHDD-111) (uncut)

  • 10 m @ 3.44 g/t Au including 1 m @ 19.0 g/t Au (GHDD-103)

“Jackhammer Hill is our fourth prospect and newest drilling discovery at Golden Hill. Our most recent drilling here includes some very positive intersections, including core intervals of 15 metres averaging 5.72 grams per tonne of gold and 9 metres averaging 4.13 grams per tonne of gold in the same hole, GHDD104. This demonstrates that multiple mineralized zones exist throughout Jackhammer Hill,” said David Mallo, Teranga’s Vice President, Exploration. “As well, Jackhammer Hill is where our highest grade interval drilled to date at Golden Hill occurs – 14 metres averaging 110.6 grams per tonne, including one-metre displaying abundant visible gold which grades 1,499 grams per tonne of gold in GHDD-111. In total, we have successfully drilled 600 metres of strike length of a surface anomaly of more than one kilometre extent.”

Continued Mr. Mallo, “Although we are still at an early stage, we recognize considerable upside for continued exploration success as we extend our drilling evaluation program at Jackhammer Hill both along trend beyond our initial target and to depth where the mineralized structures remain open to further expansion.”

The Golden Hill property is comprised of three adjacent exploration permits covering 470 km[2] located in southwest Burkina Faso in the central part of the Houndé Greenstone Belt. This belt hosts a number of high-grade gold discoveries, including the Siou, Yaramoko and Houndé deposits, the latter property being contiguous with Golden Hill. To the south of Golden Hill is another large land position where active exploration programs are well underway.

Jackhammer Hill Prospect

Diamond drilling is currently underway at the Jackhammer Hill prospect for which sixteen drill hole results are reported within this news release. Prior to this current drilling program, the Company had drilled only two scout holes which included a previously reported diamond drill interval of 1.26 g/t Au over 5.2 metres in GHDD-001. Interpretation from oriented drill core from the initial scout drilling indicated that the gold mineralized zones were dipping to the southeast within an altered and sheared diorite intrusive host. As such, drilling direction has been more appropriately oriented during the current drill phase.

Drilling results are available for approximately a 600-metre strike extent of our initial +1,000-metre geochem target. The current completed and planned Jackhammer Hill drilling program is shown on an accompanying drill plan (Figure 2 in Appendix 1) and a representative section demonstrating continuity in drill holes GHDD103 and 104 is also included (Figure 3 in Appendix 1).

Wherever possible, words such as “objective to”, “likely”, “intend to”, “potential”, “belief”, “believe”, “expects”, “estimates”, “plans”, “anticipated”, “ability” and similar expressions or statements that certain actions, events or results “should”, or "will" have been used to identify such forward-looking information.
