GLOSSARY AND DEFINED TERMS

The following is a glossary of certain mining terms used in this 20-F document.


*Birimian*	A term used to describe the age of rocks formed 2.2 to 2.1 Ga that are considered highly prospective rocks for gold and diamond exploration in West Africa


*CIL*	Carbon In Leach (CIL) is a processing method for extracting and recovery of gold from crushed ore. The process involves creating a slurry of finely crushed ore and a cyanide bearing solution in large tanks. Gold is dissolved in the cyanide solution creating a pregnant solution. Activated carbon is introduced into the leaching circuit where it absorbs the gold from the pregnant solution. The gold bearing activated carbon or “loaded” carbon is then sent through a carbon strip circuit where gold is separated from the loaded carbon, recovered and subsequently refined.







*Craton*	A relatively immobile part of the earth, generally of large size

*Crustal-scale*	A term used to describe large deep seated or regional scale geological features. I.e. the San Andreas fault is a "crustal-scale" feature.


*Discounted Cash Flow Model*	A Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) analysis or model is a method of valuing a mining project using the time value of money concept. All future cash flows are estimated and discounted to give their present values (PV’s). The sum of all future cash flows, both incoming and outgoing, is the net present value (NPV), which is taken as the value or price of the cash flows in question.





*Dyke*	A tabular body of igneous rock that cuts across the structure of adjacent rocks or cuts massive rocks.


*Eburnean*	A term used to describe an orogenic event 2.0-2.1 Ga

*Fault*	A term used to describe a large scale fracture or linear zone of fractures within a body of rock along which there has been displacement of the sides relative to each other. Often results in the formation of a shear zone.



*Feldspar*	A group of abundant rock forming minerals, often light coloured and hard

*Felsic*	A term used to describe light coloured igneous rocks.

*Foliation/Foliated*	A term used to describe the linear or platy texture of rocks that have been subjected to extreme heat and pressure resulting in the flattening or alignment of a rock's constituent mineral grains.


*Formation*	A rock unit that has been named and defined by its location, relative age and composition.

*Fuchsite*	A bright green, chromium rich variety of a muscovite.

Ga	A billion years ago

*Gemcom Whittle*	Gemcom Whittle - Strategic Mine Planning™ is a computer software package that creates three dimensional shells (often referred to as pit shells or Whittle shells). The software uses input technical, metallurgical and economic parameters in order to define a shell around a body of mineralization. The software is most often used to determine which part of an ore deposit can be extracted at a profit.





*Gneiss*	A foliated metamorphic rock with alternating bands or lenses of granular minerals and preferentially elongated or flaky minerals.


*Graben*	A portion of the earth’s crust that was faulted and dropped to a lower position relative to its surrounding during some part of its history. It subsequently may have been filled with sediments.



*Granitic*	A term used to describe an intrusive igneous rock comprised largely of medium to coarse-grained quartz and feldspar. Granitic rocks generally have higher alkali feldspar and lower plagioclase feldspar content than granodioritic rocks.



*Granodioritic*	A term used to describe an intrusive igneous rock comprised largely of medium to coarse-grained quartz and feldspar. Granodioritic rocks have a higher plagioclase feldspar and lower alkali feldspar content than granitic rocks.


*Greenstone*	A term used to describe any metamorphic, mafic to ultra-mafic igneous rock

*Heap Leach Processing*	A low cost ore processing method used to extract gold (and other metals) from crushed ore. Low grade ore is stockpiled on lined pads and saturated with a cyanide bearing solution. The solution permeates and passes through the crushed ore pile, dissolving gold and then accumulating at the base of the pile on the lined pad. The pregnant solution is then collected and gold is extracted.





*Inlier*	An area of older rocks surrounded by younger rocks

*Intermediate*	Refers to igneous rocks that are transitional between mafic and felsic igneous rocks

*Kakadian Batholith*	A PaleoProterozoic granitic complex which intrudes rock of the Kedougou Kenieba Inlier

*Kedougou-Kenieba Inlier*	A belt of deformed rocks within the larger, 2.1 Ga PaleoProterozoic Birimian-Eburnean province of rocks within the West African craton
*Kedougou-Kenieba Inlier*

*Kriging*	A statistical technique used to calculate the tonnage and grade of mineral resources and
	reserves.

*Lateritic*	A term used to describe highly weathered residual surface and near surface rock and soil horizons, often found in tropical or forested warm to temperate climates. Lateritic horizons or "laterites" are often pale brown to reddish brown in colour and can be very hard.



*Late-tectonic*	A point or reference of time during the latter stages of a tectonic event.

*Leach Tank*	A large tank that contains a chemical solution capable of extracting gold from crushed ore.

*Mafic*	Refers to igneous rocks composed chiefly of dark, ferromagnesian minerals.

*Mako Volcanic Group*	A belt of mafic to ultra-mafic volcanic rocks within the Kedougou-Kenieba Inlier in western Sénégal.
*Mako Volcanic Group*

*Massive*	A term used to describe an igneous rock with a homogenous texture ie. not foliated

*Metamorphic*	A term used to describe rocks that have undergone chemical and/or physical properties changes due to the effects of heat, pressure and fluid movement within the earth's crust.
*Metamorphic*

*Metasedimentary*	A term used to describe a sedimentary rock that has had its chemical and/or physical properties altered due to the effects of heat, pressure and fluid movement within the earth's crust.



*Metavolcanic*	A term used to describe a volcanic rock that has had its chemical and/or physical properties altered due to the effects of heat, pressure and fluid movement within the earth's crust.
*Metavolcanic*

*Mineral Reserves*	Mineral reserves are the economically mineable part of indicated and measured resources that have been evaluated by either a Prefeasibility or Feasibility level engineering study which has demonstrated a portion of the indicated and measured resources are economically feasible for extraction. Reserves are classified as either Probable or Proven Reserves depending on the level of geological and economic knowledge and confidence.





*Mineral Resources*	Mineral resources are economic mineral concentrations in or on the Earth’s crust that are in such form and quantity and of such a grade or quality that they have reasonable prospects for economic extraction. Mineral resources are classified as Inferred, Indicated and Measured depending on the increasing level of geological knowledge and confidence. Mineral resources are not considered ore because the economics of the mineral deposit may not have been fully evaluated.






*Orogenic*	A term used to describe the large-scale tectonic process of mountain formation or orogeny.

*Orogenic Gold*	Terminology used to describe gold deposits that have formed by the geological processes associated with orogeny.
*Orogenic Gold*

*Pluton*	A body of igneous rock that has been intruded from depth into pre-existing rock.

*Porphyry*	An igneous rock of any composition containing conspicuous phenocrysts (large crystals) within a fine-grained ground mass.
*Porphyry*


*Pyrite*	A common pale bronze, or brass yellow, metallic mineral largely comprised of iron and sulphur.


*Saprolite*	A soft, earthy, clay-rich thoroughly decomposed rock formed in-place by chemical weathering. Commonly displays pre-weathering structures of original rock units. Occurs especially in humid, tropical environments.



*Sericite*	A fine grained, white potassium mica created by the alteration of pre-existing mineral by metamorphism


*Shear zone*	Narrow, sub parallel-sided zones of rock that have been crushed and brecciated as a result of shear strain.


*Silicified*	A term used to describe a rock that has been altered due to the introduction of or replacement by silica.


*Supracrustal*	Term used to describe younger rocks which overlie older basement rocks.

*Syngenetic*	A term used to describe a geological feature (i.e. ore deposit or sedimentary feature) that has formed contemporaneously with and by essentially the same processes as the enclosing rocks.


*Syn-tectonic*	A point or reference of time during a tectonic event.

*Tectonic*	A term used to describe the physical forces or events that move and deform the earth's crust. Volcanic eruptions, folding and faulting are examples of tectonic events.


*Tuffs*	Igneous, volcanoclastic rocks formed by the accumulation of volcanic ash and crystals that have been extruded from a volcanic vent and subsequently buried and lithified.


*Variogram*	A statistical tool used to describe the spatial relationship between data in three dimensions. Variograms are used during the geostatistical process of mineral resource and reserve estimates to determine how gold grades intersected in drill holes are distributed to the volume of rock in between and surrounding drill holes.




*Ultramafic*	Refers to igneous rocks composed almost entirely of dark, ferromagnesian minerals.

Readers are cautioned to take into account the risk factors to which the Company and its operations are exposed. The following description of risk factors is not exhaustive and is provided to alert users of this Annual Report to examples of the nature and types of risk factors inherent in the Company’s existence and operations.

WE HAVE SIGNED AN ARRANGEMENT AGREEMENT WITH TERANGA GOLD CORPORATION WHICH WILL RESULT IN TERANGA ACQUIRING OUR REMAINING SHARES

Pursuant to an offer made by Teranga Gold Corporation (“Teranga”), dated June 19, 2013, as varied and extended by a notice of change, variation and extension dated July 26, 2013 (the “Offer”) to acquire all of our issued and outstanding common shares not already owned by it, Teranga acquired 81,076,401 of our common shares, representing approximately 59.02% of our outstanding common shares (on a non-diluted basis). The common shares of the Company taken up by Teranga under the Offer, together with the 18,699,500 common shares of the Company owned by Teranga prior to the expiry of the Offer, represent 99,775,901 common shares of the Company or approximately 72.63% of the outstanding common shares of the Company (on a non-diluted basis).

On August 27, 2013 we entered into an arrangement agreement with Teranga, as amended on August 29, 2013 (the “Arrangement Agreement”), pursuant to which we and Teranga agreed to proceed with a plan of arrangement (the “Arrangement”) that would permit Teranga to acquire all of the common shares of the Company that it does not currently own, with shareholders of the Company (other than any dissenting shareholders and Teranga) receiving the same consideration of 0.60 of a common share of Teranga for each common share of the Company, as was offered under the Offer.

The Arrangement is subject to the approval of the Supreme Court of British Columbia and satisfaction or waiver of the conditions of closing set out in the Arrangement Agreement, and in particular the approval of the proposed plan of arrangement under Part 9, Division 5 of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) (the “Plan of Arrangement”). In order to proceed, and in addition to approval by the court, a special resolution approving the Plan of Arrangement (the “Arrangement Resolution”) must be approved at the meeting of shareholders of the Company called for October 2, 2013 (the “Meeting”) on the terms set out our Management Proxy Circular dated August 30, 2013, by two-thirds of the votes cast by the shareholders of the Company, present in person or represented by proxy and a majority of the votes cast at the Meeting in person or by proxy by shareholders of the Company in accordance with the minority approval requirements of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions of the Canadian Securities Administrators.

Teranga has indicated that it will vote all the common shares of the Company it holds for the Arrangement Resolution and as a result, the approval of the Arrangement at the Meeting is assured based on the current number of common shares of the company that are outstanding. After the completion of the Arrangement, Teranga expects that the common shares of the Company will cease to be quoted on the OTC/BB and Teranga intends to cause us to be de-listed from the Toronto Stock Exchange and to cease to be a reporting issuer in each jurisdiction of Canada in which we are a reporting issuer. Teranga also intends to take such steps as are necessary to suspend our reporting obligations under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

THE RESULTS OF THE LITIGATION COMMENCED BY BENDON AGAINST US IS UNCERTAIN

On June 13, 2013, Bendon commenced a lawsuit naming Teranga, us and our wholly owned subsidiary Sabodala Holding Limited, as defendants. Bendon’s statement of claim seeks an unspecified amount of damages and an injunction seeking to prevent the Offer, and alleges, among other things, that the completion of the Offer would result in a breach of the Shareholders Agreement dated December 18, 2006 between us, Badr, Bendon and Sabodala Holding Limited. We believe that Bendon’s lawsuit is without merit and we plan to vigorously defend it, however, the outcome of litigation cannot be predicted with certainty and there is no guarantee that any legal action by Bendon would not be successful. If we were unable to resolve such dispute favourably or in a timely manner, the resultant litigation could affect the timing of any anticipated benefits to Teranga from the acquisition of Oromin and have a material adverse impact on our and Teranga’s financial performance, cash flow and results of operations.

THE MARKET VALUE OF OUR SHARES IN THE PUBLIC MARKETS ON WHICH THEY TRADE IS SUBJECT TO HIGH VOLATILITY AND TO UNPREDICTABLE CHANGES IN THE EVALUATIONS, PERCEPTIONS AND SENTIMENTS OF BUYERS AND SELLERS IN THOSE MARKETS

The Company’s securities trade on public markets and the trading value thereof is determined by the evaluations, perceptions and sentiments of both individual investors and the investment community taken as a whole. Such evaluations, perceptions and sentiments are subject to change, both in short term time horizons and longer term time horizons. An adverse change in investor evaluations, perceptions and sentiments could have a material adverse outcome on the Company and its securities.

OUR INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS INVOLVE SIGNIFICANT RISKS NOT ASSOCIATED WITH OPERATIONS IN CANADA OR THE UNITED STATES

The Company’s project is located in the Republic of Sénégal in West Africa. Its tenure over its property rights and the conditions under which it operates, both during and after the exploration stage, are subject to the jurisdiction of the Republic of Sénégal and in some cases of political subdivisions within the Republic of Sénégal. The laws and regulations governing the Company’s tenure and operations are subject to alteration, and an adverse alteration to those

laws and regulations could have a material adverse outcome on the Company and its securities. In addition, the exposure of the Company, its projects and its operations to political risk comprises part of the evaluations, perceptions and sentiments of investors as described above under “Market risks”. An adverse change in investors’ tolerance of political risk could have a material adverse outcome on the Company and its securities.

OUR PROJECTS DO NOT PRODUCE ANY REVENUES OR CASH FLOWS, AND WE ARE DEPENDENT ON OUR ABILITY TO ACCESS THE CAPITAL MARKETS AND ISSUE ADDITIONAL EQUITY CAPITAL TO RAISE THE FUNDS NECESSARY TO CONTINUE OUR EXPLORATION. OUR ABILITY TO ACCESS THE CAPITAL MARKETS CANNOT BE ASSURED, AND IF WE ARE ABLE TO ACCESS THEM, EXISTING INVESTORS WILL HAVE THEIR OWNERSHIP INTERESTS DILUTED UPON THE ISSUE OF ADDITIONAL EQUITY

Exploration and development of mineral deposits is an expensive process, and frequently the greater the level of interim stage success the more expensive it can become. The Company has no producing properties and generates no operating revenues; therefore, for the foreseeable future, it will be dependent upon selling equity in the capital markets to provide financing for its continuing substantial exploration budgets. The capital markets have recently been very unfavourable to the financing of mineral exploration by junior companies accordingly, there can be no assurance that the capital markets will be receptive in the future, or that the Company will be able to raise the financing needed to continue its exploration programs on favourable terms, or at all. Restrictions on the Company’s ability to finance could have a material adverse outcome on the Company and its securities.

OUR EXPLORATION EFFORTS ARE DIRECTED TO THE COMMODITY GOLD, AND THE MARKET PRICE FOR GOLD IS SUBJECT TO HIGH VOLATILITY

The Company’s exploration project seeks gold at the OJVG Gold Project. While this commodity has recently been the subject of significant and downward trending volatility; accordingly, there can be no assurance that acceptable price levels will continue, or that investors’ evaluations, perceptions, beliefs and sentiments will favour this target commodity. An adverse change in this commodity’s price, or in investors’ beliefs about trends in this price, could have a material adverse outcome on the Company and its securities.

THE PRICES OF MANY SIGNIFICANT INPUTS TO OUR COSTS OF EXPLORING ARE SUBJECT TO HIGH VOLATILITY AND COULD RENDER OUR COSTS OF CONTINUING TO EXPLORE HIGHER THAN ANTICIPATED, PLANNED OR BUDGETED

The cost of numerous inputs to mineral exploration and development has been subject to significant increase in recent calendar quarters. These costs include the cost of infrastructure materials such as steel and concrete, the cost of fuel, and the compensation cost of technical and operating personnel. A continuation of cost escalation in these input prices could have a material adverse outcome on the Company and its securities.

WE ARE HIGHLY DEPENDENT ON THE INDIVIDUAL SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE OF OUR CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER AND OUR VICE-PRESIDENT OF MINERAL EXPLORATION

The Company’s exploration efforts are dependent to a large degree on the skills and experience of certain of its key personnel. The Company does not maintain “key man” insurance policies on these individuals. Should the availability of these persons’ skills and experience be in any way reduced or curtailed, this could have a material adverse outcome on the Company and its securities.

WE HAVE A LONG HISTORY OF INCURRING NET LOSSES AND GENERATING NO OPERATING REVENUE

The Company has incurred net losses to date. Its deficit as of February 28, 2013 was $88,460,705. The Company has not yet had any revenue from the exploration activities on its property, nor has the Company yet made a production decision to proceed with development activity on its property. Even if the Company does undertake development activity on certain of its properties, the Company expects to continue to incur losses beyond the period of commencement of such activity. There is no certainty that the Company will produce revenue, operate profitably or provide a return on investment in the future.

WE HAVE LIMITED EXPERIENCE IN PLACING RESOURCE PROPERTIES INTO PRODUCTION

The Company has limited experience in placing resource properties into production, and its ability to do so will be dependent upon using the services of appropriately experienced personnel or entering into agreements with other contract service providers or resource companies that can provide such expertise. There can be no assurance that the Company will have available to it the necessary expertise when and if the Company places its resource properties into production.

WE ARE SUBJECT TO SECURITIES REGULATORY RULES IN THE UNITED STATES WHICH MAY HAVE THE EFFECT OF REDUCING TRADING ACTIVITY, AND THEREFOR MAY REDUCE LIQUIDITY IN THE MARKET FOR OUR SHARES IN THE UNITED STATES

The capital stock of the Company may be classified as “penny stock” as defined in Reg. § 240.3a51-1 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “1934 Act”). In response to perceived abuse in the penny stock market generally, the 1934 Act was amended in 1990 to add new requirements in connection with penny stocks. In connection with effecting any transaction in a penny stock, a broker or dealer must give the customer a written risk disclosure document that (a) describes the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading, (b) describes the broker’s or dealer’s duties to the customer and the rights and remedies available to such customer with respect to violations of such duties, (c) describes the dealer market, including “bid” and “ask” prices for penny stock and the significance of the spread between the bid and ask prices, (d) contains a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary histories of brokers and dealers, and (e) defines significant terms used in the disclosure document or the conduct of trading in penny stocks. In addition, the broker-dealer must provide to a penny stock customer a written monthly account statement that discloses the identity and number of shares of each penny stock held in the customer’s account, and the estimated market value of such shares. The extensive disclosure and other broker-dealer compliance related to penny stocks may result in reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for such stocks, thus limiting the ability of the holder to sell such stock.

OUR BUSINESS INVOLVES NUMEROUS OPERATING HAZARDS, AND WE ARE NOT FULLY INSURED AGAINST ALL OPERATING HAZARDS

Although management believes the operator of any properties in which the Company and its subsidiaries may acquire interests, will acquire and maintain appropriate insurance coverage in accordance with standard industry practice, the Company and its subsidiaries may suffer losses from uninsurable hazards or from hazards which the operator has chosen not to insure against because of high premium costs or other reasons. The payment of any liabilities arising from such losses may have a material, adverse effect on the Company's financial position.

OUR COMPETITORS IN THE MINERAL EXPLORATION AND DEVELOPMENT INDUSTRY INCLUDE NUMEROUS LARGER COMPANIES MOST OF WHICH HAVE BETTER ACCESS TO THE EXPERTISE AND FINANCING NECESSARY TO CARRY OUT ACTIVITIES

Significant and increasing competition exists for the limited number of mineral property acquisition opportunities available in Sénégal. As a result of this competition, some of which is with large established mining companies with substantial capabilities and greater financial and technical resources than the Company, the Company may be unable to acquire additional attractive mineral properties on terms it considers acceptable. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the Company’s exploration and acquisition programs will result in any commercial mining operation.

WE ARE EXPLORING IN THE REPUBLIC OF SÉNÉGAL, A COUNTRY WITH A COMPLEX REGULATORY REGIME WHICH MAY IMPOSE UNFAMILIAR AND CHALLENGING CONDITIONS AFFECTING OUR OPERATIONS

Currently, the Company’s only active and material property is located in Sénégal. Consequently, the Company is subject to certain risks associated with foreign ownership, including currency fluctuations, inflation, political instability and political risk. Mineral exploration and mining activities in foreign countries may be affected in varying degrees by political stability and government regulations relating to the mining industry. Any changes in regulations or shifts in political conditions are beyond the control of the Company and may adversely affect its business. Operations may be affected in varying degrees by government regulations with respect to restrictions on production, price controls,

export controls, restriction of earnings, taxation laws, expropriation of property, environmental legislation, water use and workplace safety. In particular, the status of Sénégal as a developing country may make it more difficult for the Company to obtain any required production financing for its property from senior lending institutions.

The Company has entered into contractual arrangements with the Government of Sénégal that contain time-sensitive performance requirements. Further, the Company will be dependent on the receipt of government approvals or permits for the timely performance of its exploration and development activities and any delays in obtaining such approvals or permits could affect the status of the Company’s contractual arrangements or its ability to meet its contractual obligations and could result in the loss of its interest in mineral properties.

OUR ACTIVITIES IN MINERAL EXPLORATION AND DEVELOPMENT SUBJECT US TO A WIDE ARRAY OF ENVIRONMENTAL AND RELATED REGULATIONS WHICH CAN BE COSTLY AND TIME-CONSUMING TO COMPLY WITH

The current or future operations of the Company, including development activities and commencement of production on its properties, require permits from various governmental authorities and such operations are and will be subject to laws and regulations governing prospecting, development, mining, production, exports, taxes, labour standards, occupational health, waste disposal, toxic substances, land use, environmental protection, safety and other matters. Companies engaged in the development and operation of mines and related facilities generally experience increased costs, and delays in production and other schedules as a result of the need to comply with applicable laws, regulations and permits. There can be no assurance that approvals and permits required to commence production on its properties will be obtained. Additional permits and studies, which may include environmental impact studies conducted before permits can be obtained, may be necessary prior to operation of the properties in which the Company has interests and there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain or maintain all necessary permits that may be required to commence construction, development or operation of mining facilities at these properties on terms which enable operations to be conducted at economically justifiable costs.

The Company’s potential production operations and exploration activities in Sénégal are subject to various federal and local laws governing land use, the protection of the environment, prospecting, development, production, exports, taxes, labour standards, occupational health, waste disposal, toxic substances, workplace safety and other matters. Such operations and exploration activities are also subject to substantial regulation under these laws by governmental agencies and may require that the Company obtain permits from various governmental agencies. The Company believes it is in substantial compliance with all material laws and regulations that currently apply to its activities. There can be no assurance, however, that all permits the Company may require for construction of mining facilities and conduct of mining operations will be obtainable on reasonable terms or that such laws and regulations would not have a material adverse effect on any mining project the Company might undertake.

Failure to comply with applicable laws, regulations, and permitting requirements may result in enforcement actions thereunder, including orders issued by regulatory or judicial authorities causing operations to cease or be curtailed, and may include corrective measures requiring capital expenditures, installation of additional equipment, or remedial actions. Parties engaged in mining operations or oil and gas exploration or extraction operations may be required to compensate those suffering loss or damage by reason of such activities and may have civil or criminal fines or penalties imposed for violations of applicable laws or regulations.

Amendments to current laws, regulations and permits governing operations and activities of mining companies, or more stringent implementation thereof, could have a material adverse impact on the Company and cause increases in capital expenditures or production costs or reduction in levels of production at producing properties or abandonment or delays in development of new mineral exploration or oil and gas properties.

To the best of the Company's knowledge, it is currently operating in compliance with all applicable environmental regulations.

WE DO NOT PLAN TO BE A DIVIDEND-PAYING COMPANY IN THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE

All of the Company's available funds will be invested to finance the growth of the Company's business and therefore investors cannot expect and should not anticipate receiving a dividend on the Company's common shares in the foreseeable future.

THE TRADING PRICE OF OUR SHARES HAS BEEN AND IS LIKELY TO CONTINUE TO BE SUBJECT TO WIDE FLUCTUATIONS

In recent years, the securities markets in Canada and the United States have experienced a high level of price and volume volatility, and the market prices of securities of many companies, particularly junior mineral exploration companies like the Company, have experienced wide fluctuations which have not necessarily been related to the operating performance, underlying asset values or prospects of such companies. In particular, the per share price on the TSX Venture Exchange or the Toronto Stock Exchange of the Company's common stock fluctuated from a high of $1.49 to a low of $0.28 during the period beginning March 1, 2010 and ending on the date of this Annual Report. There can be no assurance that these price fluctuations and volatility will not continue to occur. Recent prices have been at the low end of this range.

ALMOST ALL OF OUR DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS RESIDE OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES WHICH COMPROMISES THE ENFORCEABILITY OF CIVIL LIABILITIES AND JUDGMENTS

The Company and its officers and all but one of its directors are residents of countries other than the United States, and all of the Company's assets are located outside the United States. As a result, it may not be possible for investors to effect service of process within the United States upon such persons or enforce in the United States against such persons judgements obtained in United States courts, including judgements predicated upon the civil liability provisions of United States federal securities laws or state securities laws.

The Company believes that a judgement of a United States court predicated solely upon civil liability under United States securities laws would probably be enforceable in Canada if the United States court in which the judgement was obtained has a basis for jurisdiction in the matter that was recognised by a Canadian court for such purposes. However, there is doubt whether an action could be brought in Canada in the first instance on the basis of liability predicated solely upon such laws.

UNITED STATES INVESTORS FACE THE RISK THE COMPANY COULD BE CLASSIFIED AS A PASSIVE FOREIGN INVESTMENT COMPANY FOR UNITED STATES TAX PURPOSES, WITH POSSIBLE ADVERSE TAX AND LIQUIDITY CONSEQUENCES

The Company, as a foreign corporation with U.S. stockholders, could potentially be treated as a passive foreign investment company (“PFIC”) for U.S. tax purposes. U.S. stockholders owning shares of a PFIC can be subject to adverse tax consequences. In general, the Company would be considered a PFIC if: 75% or more of its gross income in a taxable year is passive income such as dividends and interest; or, the average percentage of the Company’s assets (by value) during the taxable year which produce passive income or which are held for production of same is at least 50%. A U.S. stockholder owing shares of a PFIC, who does not make certain elections for tax purposes, is subject to an additional tax and to an interest charge based on the value of deferral of tax for the period during which the common shares of the PFIC are owned. Also, gain realized on the disposition of common shares of the PFIC would be treated as ordinary income rather than capital gains. If U.S. stockholders are subject to adverse tax consequences related to their ownership of the Company’s stock, they might be less willing to acquire the stock, which could result in reduced market activity and liquidity for the stock.


ITEM 4.	INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY


A.	History and Development of the Company

Oromin Explorations Ltd. (the “Company”) is a British Columbia company in the business of exploring its resource properties. The Company was incorporated pursuant to the Company Act (British Columbia) on January 25, 1980 under the name “Maple Leaf Petroleum Ltd.”. On July 26, 1983, the Company’s Memorandum was amended to increase the authorized capital of the Company from 10,000,000 common shares without par value to 20,000,000 common shares without par value and the Company’s Articles were replaced in their entirety with new articles. There were no material changes to the Articles. On April 22, 1986, the Company’s Memorandum was further amended to change the name of the Company to “International Maple Leaf Resource Corporation”, to consolidate its common

shares on a one-for-five basis and to increase the authorized capital back up to 20,000,000 common shares without par value. On September 11, 1989, the Company’s Memorandum was further amended to change the name of the Company to “Maple Resource Corp.”, to consolidate its common shares on a one-for-2.5 basis and to increase the authorized capital back up to 20,000,000 common shares without par value. On August 14, 1992, the Company’s Articles were replaced in their entirety with new articles. There were no material changes to the Articles.

On February 25, 2002, it amalgamated with Fresco Developments Ltd. (“Fresco”) and its shares were exchanged for shares of the amalgamated company on a one for one basis, while the shares of Fresco were exchanged on the basis of one share of the amalgamated company for every two shares of Fresco. Pursuant to Notice of Articles altered February 28, 2008, the authorized capital was increased from 100,000,000 to unlimited.

Pursuant to an offer made by Teranga, dated June 19, 2013, as varied and extended by a notice of change, variation and extension dated July 26, 2013 (the “Offer”) to acquire all of our issued and outstanding common shares not already owned by it, Teranga acquired 81,076,401 of our common shares, representing approximately 59.02% of our outstanding common shares (on a non-diluted basis). The common shares of the Company taken up by Teranga under the Offer, together with the 18,699,500 common shares of the Company owned by Teranga prior to the expiry of the Offer, represent 99,775,901 common shares of the Company or approximately 72.63% of the outstanding common shares of the Company (on a non-diluted basis).

On August 27, 2013 we entered into the Arrangement Agreement with Teranga, as amended on August 29, 2013, pursuant to which we and Teranga agreed to proceed with the Arrangement that would permit Teranga to acquire all of the common shares of the Company that it does not currently own, with shareholders of the Company (other than any dissenting shareholders and Teranga) receiving the same consideration of 0.60 of a common share of Teranga for each common share of the Company, as was offered under the Offer.

The Arrangement is subject to the approval of the Supreme Court of British Columbia and satisfaction or waiver of the conditions of closing set out in the Arrangement Agreement, and in particular the approval of the proposed plan of arrangement under Part 9, Division 5 of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia). In order to proceed, and in addition to approval by the court, the Arrangement Resolution must be approved at the Meeting on the terms set out our Management Proxy Circular dated August 30, 2013, by two-thirds of the votes cast by the shareholders of the Company, present in person or represented by proxy and a majority of the votes cast at the Meeting in person or by proxy by shareholders of the Company in accordance with the minority approval requirements of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions of the Canadian Securities Administrators.

The Company has one subsidiary. Sabodala Holding Limited (“SHL”) is incorporated in the British Virgin Islands and is wholly owned by the Company. SHL holds interests in other companies as set out in the section following, “OJVG Gold Property, Sénégal” and in subsection C – “Organizational Structure”.

The head office and principal office address of the Company is Suite 2000, 1055 West Hastings Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6E 2E9, Canada. Its telephone number is 604-331-8772.

OJVG Gold Property, Sénégal

The Company holds via its ownership of SHL an interest in the OJVG Property (“OJVG Gold Property” or “OJVG Project” or “OJVG Gold Project” or “OJVG Golouma Project”), as more fully described under “Item 4 -Information on the Company - D. Property, Plants and Equipment” below. The Direction de Mines of Sénégal awarded the exploration concession to the Company on behalf of the Oromin Joint Venture Group through an international selection process concluded in October 2004. The Oromin Joint Venture Group (“OJVG”) was a joint venture between the Company and Bendon International Ltd. (“Bendon”), each as to 50% with the Company and Bendon each holding a 6.5% interest in trust for Badr Investment & Finance Company (“Badr”), a private company based in Saudi Arabia, pending its execution of a tripartite joint venture agreement on the same terms as the current joint venture agreement between the Company and Bendon, such joint venture interest to be transferred to Badr on execution of such tripartite agreement. In order to acquire its interest in the OJVG Property, the OJVG was required to spend at least USD$8 million on exploration of the OJVG Property by April 17, 2007, and this condition was fulfilled in October 2006. Under the terms of the OJVG agreement, Bendon provided the initial US$2.8 million in exploration expenditures with the Company providing the next US$5.2 million. Badr was to hold a free carried interest until the initial USD$8 million commitment was completed, at which time the three parties would bear all future costs associated with the exploration and development of the OJVG Project on a pro rata basis, or be subject to dilution.

By an agreement dated December 18, 2006, as amended, between Oromin Joint Venture Group Ltd. (“OJVG Ltd.”), SHL, Bendon and Badr, the OJVG was converted into a corporate form. SHL and Bendon each own a 43.5% interest and Badr owns a 13% interest in OJVG Ltd. SHL and Bendon have agreed to each fund 50% of the costs of exploration and development of the OJVG Property, with Badr’s interest being fully carried for as long as it owns an interest in OJVG Ltd. The exploration concession comprising the OJVG Gold Project property has been assigned to OJVG Ltd. SHL is the operator of OJVG Ltd. to which it provides exploration and management services. In March 2007, the Government of Sénégal granted a twenty month extension (to December 22, 2008) to the Mining Convention conditional on the joint venture spending an additional USD$12 million during the extension period. This expenditure requirement was met and in December 2008, OJVG Ltd. was granted a further twelve month extension, expiring on December 22, 2009.

In August 2009 the Company completed an initial preliminary Feasibility Study (“PFS”) for its OJVG Project. This study was prepared by SRK Consulting (Canada) Inc. (“SRK”) utilizing available exploration drilling data up to May 2009. The result of this initial study produced a negative net present value (“NPV”) and as such no mineral reserves could be quantified for the OJVG Property. To seek to improve the project economics, SRK recommended that OJVG (1) focus its exploration activities on identifying high-grade targets that might help in improved cash flows in the early years of the project as the property still has several interesting gold anomalies that, if exploration is successful, could add value to the project; (2) optimize the PFS to allow for the known opportunities to be investigated and new opportunities to be sought; and (3) continue drilling on the property and revise the PFS based on new information at a cost of approximately USD$15M.

OJVG adopted SRK’s recommendations, but elected to complete a full Feasibility Study (“2010 FS”) rather than simply revise the PFS. As a result, on January 26, 2010, OJVG was granted a mining licence for the OJVG Gold Project. The mining licence is for a term of fifteen years and will permit OJVG to begin mining operations in accordance with recommendations of a full Feasibility Study prepared by SRK and Ausenco Limited (“Ausenco”) and publicly disseminated in July 2010. It is important to note that development of a mining operation is subject to the owners of OJVG making a production decision, a step which has not yet taken place.

As required by the mining licence, in January, 2013 OJVG completed the formation of an operating company under the laws of Sénégal, Société des Mines de Golouma S.A. (“Somigol”), to undertake the development of the Project.

The operating company is 90% owned by OJVG and 10% by the Government of Sénégal. The interest owned by the Government of Sénégal is fully carried, subject to the recovery by funding shareholders of funds advanced and accrued interest, and the Government of Sénégal is also entitled to a royalty equal to 3% of net smelter returns. Under the terms

of the Mining Convention, OJVG is obliged to offer to Sénégalese nationals the one–time right to purchase up to a 25% interest in such operating company at a price determined by an independent valuator. At the date of this Annual Report, the conveyance of OJVG’s interest in the Project to Somigol is under way but not completed, and the offer of up to a 25% interest in Somigol to Sénégalese nationals is also in progress. At the date of this Annual Report, the Company is not aware that any portion of such a 25% interest is under consideration by any Sénégalese nationals. Somigol has to date not undertaken any activities or transactions, with the exception of receiving an immaterial initial contribution of share capital.

The renewable mining licence specifies an eight year tax holiday expiring January 25, 2018. OJVG received the final approval from the Government of Sénégal for its Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (“ESIA”) on May 24^th, 2012. This process started with the first technical review committee meeting held in March 2011and culminated with blanket approval from all local stakeholders during the public audience held on-site in March 2012. OJVG submitted the final ESIA to government in November 2011 and it passed all three levels of review after minor amendments were incorporated.

On January 31, 2013, OJVG released the results of an update to the 2010 FS (“2013 FS”). Certain elements of the 2013 FS are set out below under the heading “2013 Mineral Reserve Estimates”.

Santa Rosa Property, Argentina

Up until November 30, 2011 the Company held an interest in an oil and gas concession in the Republic of Argentina known as the Santa Rosa Property. As set out in Note 7 to the financial statements filed with our report on Form 20-F for the previous fiscal year, namely, the year ended February 29, 2012, effective December 1, 2011 the Company disposed of this interest to an arm’s length party for nominal proceeds.


B.	Business Overview

The Company has historically been involved in the exploration of mineral properties in various parts of the world. During the last three financial years the Company’s principal activity has been financing and carrying out exploration on the OJVG Property in Sénégal. In July 2009 the Company also drilled an unsuccessful test well on the Santa Rosa Property.

In October 2004, the Company was awarded an exploration concession known as the Sabodala Property in the Republic of Sénégal – which has subsequently been renamed the OJVG Gold Project. The exploration concession granted the Company the sole right to acquire a 100% interest in the OJVG Gold Project by spending at least USD$8 million on exploration of the OJVG Gold Project by April 17, 2007, a condition which was met. The OJVG Gold Project was held by the Oromin Joint Venture Group (“OJVG”), a joint venture between the Company and Bendon International Ltd. (“Bendon”), each as to 50% with the Company and Bendon each holding a 6.5% interest in trust for Badr Investment & Finance Company (“Badr”), a private company based in Saudi Arabia, pending its execution of a tripartite joint venture agreement on the same terms as the current joint venture agreement between the Company and Bendon, such joint venture interest to be transferred to Badr on execution of such tripartite agreement. By an agreement dated December 18, 2006, as amended, between Oromin Joint Venture Group Ltd. (“OJVG Ltd.”), Sabodala Holding Limited (“SHL”) (a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company), Bendon and Badr, the OJVG was converted into a corporate form. SHL and Bendon each own a 43.5% interest and Badr owns a 13% interest in OJVG Ltd. SHL and Bendon have agreed to each fund 50% of the costs of exploration and development of the OJVG Property, with Badr’s interest being fully carried for as long as it owns an interest in OJVG Ltd. The exploration concession comprising the OJVG Property has been assigned to OJVG Ltd. SHL is the operator of OJVG Ltd. to which it provides exploration and management services.

In March 2001, the Company acquired a 100% interest in the oil and gas exploration rights for the Santa Rosa Property in central Argentina. For a number of reasons, including the transfer of jurisdiction over oil and gas development from the federal government of Argentina to the provincial government of Mendoza, no meaningful exploration activities occurred until after April 2008 when the Province of Mendoza issued a decree recognizing the

Company’s tenure rights. Pursuant to an agreement dated December 23, 2008, with Otto Energy Ltd. (“Otto”) the Company agreed to sell to Otto an effective 32.48% interest in its Santa Rosa Property by Otto funding exploration expenditures of USD$1,400,000. This transaction closed May 4, 2009. During the financial year ended February 28, 2010, in July 2009 the Company, as operator of the Santa Rosa property, drilled a wildcat test well at the first selected location on the concession but did not encounter any hydrocarbons. Thereafter, the Company reacquired from Otto, at nominal cost, Otto’s 32.48% interest in Cynthia. The Company subsequently sought third party participation in the concession, did not succeed in attracting any such, wrote off all its historical carrying costs in the project, and, as set out in Note 7 to the financial statements for the year ended February 29, 2012, sold its interest effective December 1, 2011 to an arm’s length party for nominal proceeds.


C.	Organizational Structure

The following chart sets out the Company’s corporate structure and the resource properties owned by each of the Company’s subsidiaries:

*The interest of Oromin Joint Venture Group Ltd. in the OJVG Property takes the form of its rights and interest in a Mining Convention to which it is a party with the Government of Sénégal dated February 17, 2005 as subsequently amended, as more completely set out under Item D. “Property Plants and Equipment – OJVG Property, Sénégal” below. These rights are incorporated in the Mining License for the OJVG Project issued by the Government of Sénégal January 26, 2010. This 100% interest is subject to a reduction to 90% in favour of the Government of Sénégal and, contingently, to 65%, as more completely set out under Item D. “Property Plants and Equipment – OJVG Property Sénégal” below.


D.	Property, Plants and Equipment

The sole property of the Company is the OJVG Gold Project in the Republic of Sénégal. This project is currently in the exploration stage. However, it is the subject of a current, full Feasibility Study dated March 15, 2013

and would graduate to the status of a development-stage project upon the making of a production decision by the owners. This step has not yet occurred. The Company has not had any revenue from any resource products in the last three fiscal years.

All of these documents provide a comprehensive overview of the OJVG Gold Project as well as the parameters and engineering studies that were used to define the historic reserves and an overall mine plan for the proposed development of five of the OJVG deposits. Readers are advised that the all of the company’s technical reports have been filed and posted on the Canadian regulatory filing medium called SEDAR under the filing classification “Technical Report – NI 43-101”.

Technical Summary

OJVG holds a 15 year renewable mining license in respect of the Golouma Gold Concession (the “OJVG Gold Project”), approximately 212.6 km²of land in the Tambacounda region of south-eastern Sénégal. The registered name of the mining concession is the Golouma Gold Concession and although it has previously been referred to as OJVG’s Sabodala Project, it is currently referred to as the OJVG Gold Project in almost all public disclosure by OJVG. For the purposes of this study, the OJVG Gold Project, OJVG Concession, OJVG Property, Golouma Gold Project and Project are synonymous. Gold exploration on the property has been conducted by Oromin Explorations Ltd. (“Oromin”) since 2005. Oromin’s exploration work has progressed from property-wide soil geochemical sampling and geophysical surveys to more focussed trenching, RC) drilling and Core. Oromin has been successful in identifying numerous exploration targets and fourteen gold deposits thus far; Masato, Golouma (West, South, Northwest), Kerekounda, Kourouloulou, Niakafiri Southeast, Niakafiri Southwest, Maki Medina, Kobokoto, Sekoto, Mamasato, Kinemba, Koutouniiokolla, Koulouqwinde and Kouroundi. These fourteen deposits have been drilled to a level that supports classification as mineral resources. Four of these deposits (Masato, Golouma Kerekounda and Kourouloulou) have mineral reserves defined in the 2013 FS.

OJVG’s Gold Project lies in a sparsely populated area of Sénégal approximately 650 km ESE of Dakar, a 12-hour journey by road. The property is 185 km ESE of Tambacounda and 65 km north of the district town of Kédougou. The border with Mali lies about 40 km to the east.

There is a paved airstrip that supports twin engine charter flights from Dakar. OJVG has access to the use of the airstrip. Road access to the property is via a paved road to Tambacounda and Kédougou and a combination of paved and dirt roads thereafter. Roads on the property have soil bases and can degrade substantially during heavy rains.

The property borders the 20.3 km²Mining Concession of Teranga Gold Corporation (“Teranga” – formerly Mineral Deposits Ltd.). Teranga owns and operates the Sabodala Gold Deposit. OJVG’s property is situated on the divide between the Gambia and Falémé River catchments to the west and east respectively. The terrain is comprised of open savannah vegetation on gently rolling hills and is at an elevation of roughly 200 m above sea level (“masl”). The climate of the region belongs to the Sudanic zone and is generally hot and humid. The rainy season, between June and September, brings heavy downpours that are generally short and intense and can cause disruption to transport. The estimated average annual rainfall on the property is 1,100 mm, the vast majority falling in the rainy season.

In October 2004, OJVG was awarded an exploration permit for the OJVG Gold Project, issued in accordance with the Mining Convention. The registered name of the exploration concession is the Golouma Concession, it has previously been referred to as OJVG’s Sabodala Project, and it is currently referred to as the OJVG Gold Project by Oromin. The exploration permit was formalized with the government in February 2005. OJVG spent USD $ 11 million on exploration during the first 22 month period to December 31, 2006, which was extended twice to December 22, 2009.

On January 26, 2010, OJVG was granted a mining licence for the OJVG Gold Project. The mining licence is for a term of fifteen years, renewable, and will permit OJVG to begin mining operations in accordance with recommendations of this Feasibility Study. OJVG has recently completed the process of establishing an operating company, Somigol, to undertake the development of the Project. Somigol is 90% owned by OJVG and 10% by the Government of Senegal. The interest owned by the Government of Senegal is fully carried and the Government of Senegal is also entitled to a royalty equal to 3% of net smelter returns. Under the terms of the Mining Convention, OJVG is obliged to offer to Senegalese nationals the right to purchase up to 25% of such operating company at a price determined by an independent valuator. At the date of this Annual Report this process is under way with an undetermined outcome. The renewable mining licence allows for a minimum 8 years tax free benefit which commenced January 26, 2010, and can be extended for up to 15 years through Government negotiation.

Geology and Mineralization

The OJVG Gold Project lies within the Kédougou-Kéniéba Inlier; part of the highly deformed circa 2.1 Ga Paleoproterozoic Birimian-Eburnean province of the West African Craton. The Kédougou-Kéniéba Inlier is a triangular shaped area composed of felsic gneiss terranes separated by greenstone belts that consist of supracrustal metavolcanic and metasedimentary rocks, including the thick succession of Mako Volcanic Group mafic to ultramafic material, Kakadian Batholith granitic complex, and the Eburnean Syn-tectonic Granites comprising discrete granodioritic intrusives and possibly felsic dykes.

The concession straddles the Main Transcurrent Shear Zone (“MTSZ”), which is a regional-scale N-NE trending ductile fault that impacts all of the deposits that lie within rocks affected by this zone of NNE-SSW oriented shear.

The mineral deposits within the OJVG Gold Project (Golouma West, Golouma South, Golouma Northwest, Kerekounda, Kourouloulou, Kouroundi, Koutouniokollo, Koulouqwinde, Maki Medina, Mamasato, Masato, Niakafiri Southeast, Niakafiri Southwest, and Kobokoto, Kinemba, Sekoto) and various gold prospects and targets fall within the broad classification of orogenic gold type deposits. The principal mineralized zones within the deposits are hosted by high strain areas within the prevailing shear zones. Gold mineralization is associated with zones of metavolcanics affected by intense Fe-carbonate-sericite±quartz±feldspar ±pyrite alteration, the intensity of which broadly correlates to the intensity of the deformation fabric and the presence of thicker quartz-carbonate veins. At Masato, fuchsite (Cr-mica) is also present, owing to the presence of ultramafic rocks. Multiple parallel zones comprise each deposit, with individual zones of anomalous gold values typically ranging from 2 to15 m in true thickness.

OJVG has further classified its deposits into two styles of mineralization hosted within the NNE trending, 8 km wide MTSZ that runs the entire 22 km length of the concession. The western side of the MTSZ structural corridor hosts OJVG’s lower grade, bulk mining style deposits collectively referred to as the “Masato Style” bulk tonnage deposits (Masato, Mamasato, Niakafiri Southeast, Niakafiri Southwest, Maki Medina and Kobokoto, Kinemba, Kouroundi, Koutouniokollo, Koulouqwinde, and Sekoto, ) while the eastern side hosts OJVG’s higher grade deposits, collectively referred to as the “Golouma Style” higher grade deposits (Golouma West, Golouma South, Golouma Northwest Kerekounda and Kourouloulou). Only the Golouma West, Golouma South, Masato, Kerekounda and Kourouloulou deposits host ore reserves.

OJVG Gold Deposit Descriptions

The Masato deposit has been defined over a strike length of 2,100 m along a north-northeast trending, moderately west-dipping shear zone. The deposit consists of six separate mineralized zones that span over 60 m in width and have been drilled to a depth of approximately 500 m below surface.

The Golouma West deposit consists of two broadly east-west trending zones, which together have a total strike length of approximately 800 m and have been drilled to a depth of 1000 m. A north-northeast trending zone is located in the western-most portion of the deposit and has with a strike length of 300m and has been drilled to a depth of 350m. A total of 10 steeply south-dipping shear zone-hosted sheet-like bodies of mineralization have been defined in the east-west zones, and one steeply northwest dipping body in the north-northeast trending zone.

Golouma South occupies a north-northeast trending, moderately to steeply west-dipping ductile shear zone. Mineralization has been defined over a strike length of approximately 640mand down-dip to 950 m below surface. . It has been modelled within four shear zone-hosted sheet-like bodies of mineralization.

Mineralization at Kerekounda occupies four north-northwest trending shear zones, dipping 50-70° towards the west-southwest. Mineralization has been defined over a strike length of about 350 m and down-dip for approximately 430 m.

Kourouloulou has four east-southeast striking shear zone-hosted sheet-like bodies of mineralization that dip at intermediate angles to the south. Although the strike length of this deposit is currently defined to only approximately 200 m, the grades are higher than the other deposits.

Niakafiri Southeast, located 2 km west-northwest of Golouma, occupies several north-northeast trending shear zones within the same structural zone that extends from Masato south to Maki Medina and the Kobokoto-Kinemba areas. Mineralization has been traced using trenching and drilling along a strike length of approximately 1.2 km. The structure plus the geochemical anomaly remain open to expansion to the south. The current resource is drilled to a depth of 180m. The depth of oxidation (50m-70m) makes this area a target for heap leaching.

Niakafiri Southwest is located approximately 1 km to the west of Niakafiri Southeast. The area is a 200m-300m wide structural corridor consisting of a series of north-northeast trending, steeply west dipping, strongly sheared and altered mafic metavolcanic rocks. The current resource is drilled to a depth of 140m and over a strike length of 400m.

Maki Medina is situated 3 km west of Golouma along the same steeply west dipping north-northeast trending structural zone that hosts Masato and Niakafiri Southeast to the north and Kobokoto and Kinemba West to the south. Drilling has defined a northern zone with a strike length of 700m and a smaller southern zone defined for 200 m. The current resource is drilled to a 120m depth.

Kobokoto and Kobokoto South are located 2 km west and southwest of Maki Medina. The main mineralized zone consists of a shallow west dipping, variably sheared zone of quartz-carbonate alteration and quartz-carbonate-tourmaline veining. The current resource is drilled over a 1 km strike length and to a depth of 100m.

Koutouniokolla is located 3.5 km southwest of the Golouma deposit. It is coincident with a gold-in-soil geochemical anomaly associated with a topographic high within a broad flat area of extensive laterite cover. Drilling has intersected zones of gold mineralization along a strike length of 150m and locally to a depth of 150m.

The Mamasato area is located approximately 4.5 km north of the Golouma deposit and 2 km southeast of Masato. It is defined by an 800 to 1000 metre long, east-west oriented gold-in-soil geochemical anomaly. Exploration has identified a series of north-northeast and east-west trending quartz vein systems. Mineralization is hosted in two or three sub-parallel zones of sheared and altered mafic metavolcanics and minor felsic intrusives. Drilling has tested the mineral zones along a 650m strike length and down-dip to 250m. The deposit is strongly oxidized to a depth of 80m.

Kouroundi is a new discovery located 3 km north of the Golouma deposit. Gold mineralization is associated with a north-northwest trending, southwest dipping shear-hosted quartz vein zone. The mineralized zone is deeply oxidized and remains open to the north beneath extensive laterite cover. Drilling has traced the zone over a strike length of 150m and down-dip to 150m.

Sekoto is located approximately 9 km northeast of Golouma and 4 km east of Masato. Drilling to date has intersected zones of gold mineralization along a strike length of 400m and locally to 100m depths. Sekoto is being evaluated for its heap leach potential due to deep oxidation and weathering that extends down 50 to 75m. The deposit is unusual in that the host is an equigranular fine to medium grained granodioritic intrusive.

Kinemba, located approximately 5 km southwest of the Golouma deposit, was evaluated for its heap leach potential. Drilling to date has intersected zones of gold mineralization along a strike length of 550m and locally to depths of 200m and is open to expansion. The oxide depth is 50-60m, which is similar to Niakafiri SE and Current gold resources may be further expanded to depth at the Masato, Golouma West, Golouma South, Kerekounda, and Kourouloulou

EXPLORATION AND ACTIVITIES

Calendar Year 2012 – Fiscal Year Ended February 28, 2013

The company’s 2012 exploration program on the OJVG Gold Project, budgeted at USD$ 6,350,000, consisted mainly of prospecting, mapping, and hand trenching. The prospecting and mapping program generated at least 12 new prospective targets including: Goumbati East, Bambaraya East, Bambaraya South, Bransan, Denfia Northwest, Maki Medina East, Mamakono South, Masato Northeast, Niakifiri South, Sanouwoula Hill, TimTimol, and Sekoto West.

938 grab samples were collected from the various prospects and submitted for analysis. A small number of results are available from the prospecting program at this time, with gold values ranging from below detection limit, to over 25 g/t. In summary, of the 439 samples that were analyzed, 110 reported anomalous values in excess of 50 ppb, and 39 samples reported values in excess of 500 ppb. The highest reported value of 25 g/t came from a quartz vein showing in Masato Northeast.

A hand trenching program was initiated on the targets listed above in July 2012, with approximately 2300 m of trenching completed across 34 trenches.

On March 12, 2012, the company announced that it had initiated an update to the 2010 FS which would be based on updated resource estimates for the deposits included in the 2010 FS (Golouma West and South - now referred to as Golouma, Korouloulou, Kerekounda, and Masato) and take into account all 2010 and 2011 drilling completed after the January 2010 data cut-off date used for the original 2010 study.

On January 31^st2013, the company released its updated feasibility study on the OJVG gold project. This study was completed by SRK Consulting (Canada) Inc. (“SRK”) and Ausenco Solutions Canada Ltd. (“Ausenco”) and included all of the drill-holes completed to date on the project. The results of the study were very positive with all three economic scenarios (USD$1350, USD$1550, and USD$1750 gold prices) yielding positive net-present-values (NPV_5%) of USD$476, USD$740 and USD$1,007 million respectively (Pre-tax, 5% discount rate). The updated feasibility utilized the same CIL plant design used for the 2010 study, updated for capital and operating cost increases.

Separately, on January 31^st, 2013, the company released its updated Heap leach Preliminary Economic Assessment (“2013 PEA”) on the OJVG Gold Project. The 2013 PEA evaluated deposits and potential mineable resources that are not included or classified as minerals reserves in the 2013 CIL FS. The positive outcome of the 2013 PEA was announced on March 27, 2013.

Calendar Year 2011 – Fiscal Year Ended February 29, 2012

The Company’s 2011 exploration program on the OJVG Gold Project, budgeted at USD$27,000,000 consisted largely of core and RC drilling. Drilling during the first half of 2011 focussed on extending the known limits of mineralization, particularly at depth at Golouma West, Golouma South and Kerekounda. In June of 2011, the company announced its Q3 and Q4 exploration budget and program consisting of approximately 13,000 metres of new core drilling in approximately 60 holes. Much of the drilling carried out in the second half of 2011 was directed at initial and follow-up drilling of new gold targets and recent discoveries. By the end of 2011 OJVG had completed 37,862 metres of core drilling in 149 drill holes and 16,131 metres of RC drilling in 109 holes. No drilling was carried out during January and February 2012. The 2011 drill campaign successfully expanded the known limits of mineralization, particularly at depth at Golouma West, Golouma South and Kerekounda while making new discoveries at Mamasato, Kotouniokolla, Kinemba, Saboraya, Sekoto and Kourouloulou South.

Based on the recommendation of the Ausenco heap leach desk-top study in the fall of 2010, the Company contracted Ausenco to conduct a Preliminary Economic Assessment (“PEA”) of the heap leach potential at the OJVG Gold Project. The study was based on previous modelling of the Maki Medina deposit, the re-modelled Kobokoto, Niakafiri Southeast and Niakafiri Southwest gold deposits using a 0.20 g/t Au cut-off grade in order to determine what portion of these indicated and inferred mineral resources could conceptually be economically recovered by heap leaching as well as an evaluation of mineralized material previously designated as waste from the proposed 2010 Feasibility Study Masato reserve pit. The positive outcome of the PEA was announced on May 5. 2011.

On May 12, 2011, the Company announced SRK’s mineral resource estimate updates for the Masato, Golouma West, Golouma South, Kerekounda and Kourouloulou deposits. As a result of the drilling in 2010 and early 2011, there was an overall increase in the Project’s mineral resources as well as confirmation of the continuity of gold mineralization at depth, giving even greater confidence in the down dip potential of the Golouma West, Golouma South, and Kerekounda deposits. The 2011 SRK mineral resource estimate update involved a complete re-interpretation by SRK of the geologic and mineralized models of all four Golouma Style deposits and the Masato deposit.

The Company’s investment on the equity basis of accounting in the OJVG Gold Project increased by $8,862,865 net of project administration for the fiscal year ended February 29, 2012.

Calendar Year 2010 – Fiscal Year Ended February 28, 2011

The Company’s 2010 exploration program on its OJVG Gold Project, budgeted at USD$30,000,000, was almost exclusively resource definition and engineering related drilling in support of SRK’s June 2010 Feasibility Study and the Ausenco Engineering optimization studies completed in the fall of 2010. The 2010 drilling consisted largely of infill and stepout Core and RC drilling at Golouma West, Golouma South, Kerekounda, Masato, Kourouloulou, Kobokoto, Maki Medina, Niakafiri Southeast and Niakafiri Southwest deposits as well as initial drilling at the Koulouqwinde, Kinemba and Koutouniokolla targets. A total of 80,493 metres of core drilling (DDH-SAB-10-619 to 948) and 22,527 metres of RC drilling (RC-SAB-10-663 to 846) were completed in FY 2010. The majority of reverse circulation and diamond drilling conducted by OJVG in 2010 focused on the lateral and vertical expansion and infill drilling for resource estimation purposes on the Golouma West, Golouma South, Masato, Kerekounda, Kourouloulou, Niakafiri Southeast, Niakafiri Southwest, and Kobokoto deposits. Systematic step-out holes at the Kerekounda prospect continued to intersect good intercepts of high-grade material, further indicating the potential for a resource with open-pit and underground mining possibilities, with a down-dip extent of at least 300 m and to as much as 600 m at Golouma West. A total of 22,408 metres of Reverse Air Blast (“RAB”) drill holes were also completed in 640 shallow holes as profiles across a number of laterite covered target areas on the Property including Mamakono, Maki Medina, Kinemba, Maleko and Kobokoto.

In July of 2010 the Company announced the results of a Feasibility Study (“2010 Feasibility Study”) on the OJVG Gold Project. This study was completed by SRK Consulting (Canada) Inc. (“SRK”) and Ausenco Solutions Canada Ltd. (“Ausenco”) and included drilling up to January 2010 and addressed a number of the recommendations from SRK’s 2009 PFS.

The results of the 2010 Feasibility Study were positive for the three economic cases evaluated in the study based on $880/oz, $1000/oz and $1200/oz gold prices. Using an $880/oz gold price, the economic analyses yielded a USD$74 million NPV at a 3% discount rate, 11.2% IRR and a 4 year payback period. Using a $1200/oz gold price, the study yielded a USD$361 million NPV at a 3% discount rate, 36.3% IRR and a 2 year payback period. The study outlined the OJVG Gold Project’s first mineral reserve estimate comprising 17.5 million tonnes, grading 2.52 g/t Au of combined open pit and underground Probable mineral reserves containing 1.42 million ounces of gold.

In August of 2010 the Company contracted Ausenco to complete optimization studies based on the recommendations of the 2010 Feasibility Study. These studies included an evaluation of the costs and benefits of installing a primary crush stockpile and reclaim system and increasing the leach tank size. In October of 2010, Oromin announced the positive outcome of these two separate plant optimization studies. Both of these optimizations are expected to increase the annual gold production and the project NPV above those defined in the 2010 Feasibility Study. The expected increase to the project NPV as a result of these two optimizations ranges from $US23M to $US37.2M.

In the fall of 2010 Ausenco was also engaged to examine the potential and viability of incorporating heap leach processing in parallel with the CIL plant proposed in the 2010 Feasibility Study. The outcome of the initial desk-top heap leach trade-off study would confirm whether there is sufficient heap leach material available on the OJVG Gold Project, to make this development option viable.

The Company’s investment on the equity basis of accounting in the OJVG Gold Project increased by $16,875,490 net of project administration for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2011.

Calendar year currently in progress

The OJVG shareholders have approved the calendar 2013 exploration budget as presented by Oromin Explorations Ltd., the Project Operator. For the January to December period of 2013, the total Project budget is set at US $ 6,200,000. Expenditures anticipated within this budget outline will include prospecting and geological mapping at peripheral portions of the Project area and hand-trenching, structural mapping and sampling at a number of recent discoveries. No additional drilling is planned for the 2013 calendar year.

During calendar Q1 and Q2 of 2013, OJVG has conducted follow up surface exploration programs at a number of new and previously identified targets including Goumbati, Goumbati West, Masato Northeast, Dendifa West, Timtimol and Maki Medina East. , as well as initiating prospecting and geological mapping at the SE, SW and NE corners of the Project area.

2013 MINERAL RESERVE ESTIMATE

Updated Minerals Reserves have been estimated for the same four gold deposits that were evaluated in the 2010 FS. These are Golouma West and South (now referred to as Golouma), Korouloulou, Kerekounda, and Masato. The total probable gold reserves for the OJVG Gold Project are 28,011 million tonnes of ore grading 2.59 g/t gold containing 2.335 million ounces. The mineral reserve estimate for the OJVG Gold Project has been subdivided into an open pit portion and an underground portion. Table 2 presents the open pit reserve and Table 3 presents the underground reserve, while the total reserve summary is presented in Table 4.

Economics

Prior to the acquisition of majority control of the Company by Teranga on August 7, 2013, the following description outlined the anticipated economics of the mining plan intended to be followed by the Company.

The Project is expected to be developed by both open pit and underground mining methods, with ore trucked from four deposits to a central plant for crushing, grinding and carbon-in-leach recovery processing.

The mine plans envisioned within the FS completed by SRK are based on probable mineral reserves of 28.0 million tonnes at a grade of 2.59 g/t containing 2.335 million ounces of gold which will be mined over a 17 year mine life. The current average annual production for the first 3 years is approximately 182,000 ounces of gold per year at an average operating cost of USD$489 per ounce and for the LOM, approximately 144,000 ounces of gold per year at an average operating cost of USD$654 per ounce. The total pre-production capital cost is estimated to be USD$297.1 million, including a USD$27.9 million contingency but not including owners costs.

Throughput rates will vary between 4,500 and 7,500 tonnes per day based on the ratio of oxide and sulphide ore being processed. Larger daily throughput volumes, based on the increased percentage of the softer oxide ore, positively enhance the economics. The plant has been designed with sufficient flexibility for treatment of all ore types.

The financial modeling completed by SRK for the OJVG Gold Project indicates robust economics. At a gold price of USD$1,550 per ounce, the operation yields a positive after-tax NPV of USD$558 million at a 5% discount rate. The after-tax IRR is 27.7 % and payback is 23 months from initial gold production.

Heap Leach PEA

OJVG completed an in house update to its 2011 PEA for a proposed heap leach operation to treat lower grade material that was not included or classified as mineral reserves in the 2010 FS on the OJVG Gold Project. The updated 2013 PEA utilizes 6 Masato Style Deposits (Niakafiri Southeast, Niakafiri Southwest, Maki Medina, Kobokoto, Mamasato, Sekoto and the low grade mineralized portion of waste from the proposed Masato CIL open pit as potential sources of material that would be treated by heap leach methods. The financial modelling of the Heap leach production scenario yielded positive results and demonstrated positive economics.

As of the date hereof, Teranga is re-assessing the mine development plan with the intention to utilize its pre-existing mill and related infrastructure to significantly reduce upfront capital cost requirements as well as construction activities.

Once the Arrangement is completed, Teranga intends to work with its OJVG Ltd. Partners, Bendon and Badr, to approve a revised mine plan integrating the OJVG Gold Project with Teranga’s own Sabodala Gold Project and intends to issue an updated technical report detailing the revised economics of such approach.

Doing Business in Sénégal

The République du Sénégal gained independence from France in 1960 and has maintained a democratic political system. It is a secular republic with a strong presidency, a legislature with defined powers, an independent judiciary, and multiple political parties, and is notable as one of the few African states that has never experienced a coup d’état. In 2000, power was transferred peacefully in fully democratic elections, from former President Abdou Diouf to President Abdoulaye Wade, and in 2012 power was similarly transferred from President Wade to the new President, Macky Sall.

The president is elected by universal adult suffrage to a seven year term. The unicameral National Assembly has 120 members, who are elected separately from the president. The Cour de Cassation (the country’s highest appeals court) and the Constitutional Council, the justices of which are named by the president, are the nation's highest tribunals. Sénégal is divided into 14 administrative regions, each headed by a governor appointed by and responsible to the president. The law on decentralisation, which came into effect in January 1997, distributed significant central government authority to regional assemblies.

During the years 2000-2012, the administration advanced a liberal agenda for Sénégal, including privatisations and other market-opening measures. The country, nevertheless, has limited means with which to implement ambitious ideas. The liberalisation of the economy is proceeding. Sénégal continues to play a significant role in regional and international organisations. Recent administrations have made excellent relations with western democracies a high priority.

There are presently in excess of 16 political parties, some of which are marginal and little more than platforms for their leaders. The principal political parties, however, constitute a true multiparty, democratic political culture, and they have contributed to one of the most successful democratic transitions in Africa. A flourishing independent media, largely free from official or informal control, also contributes to the democratic politics of Sénégal. The country’s generally tolerant culture, largely free from ethnic or religious tensions, has provided a resilient base for democratic politics.

The former capital of French West Africa, Sénégal is a semi-arid country located on the westernmost point of Africa. Predominantly rural and with limited natural resources, the country earns foreign exchange from fish, phosphates, peanuts, tourism, and services. Its economy is vulnerable to variations in rainfall and changes in world commodity prices.

With an external debt of USD$4.12 billion, and with its economic reform program on track, Sénégal has attained several milestones in the Heavily Indebted Poor Countries (HIPC) debt relief program from 2004 to date. Sénégal continues to lead the West African Economic and Monetary Union (“WAEMU”) countries in macroeconomic performance. For 2012, inflation was at 1.5%, and in most indicators, Sénégal conformed to the WAEMU monetary convergence criteria with a tax revenue to gross domestic product ratio of 23.9%, public investment to GDP ratio of 24.8%, a current account deficit of USD $1.298 billion, and an industrial production growth rate of 4.9%.

Currently, there are no restrictions on the transfer or repatriation of capital and income earned, or investment financed with convertible foreign exchange. Economic assistance comes largely from France, the IMF, the World Bank, and the United States, with Canada, Italy, Japan, and Germany also providing assistance.

Sénégal has well-developed port facilities, an international airport that serves as a regional hub serving numerous international airlines, and an advanced telecommunications infrastructure, including a fibre optics backbone and cellular phone penetration exceeding 10% of the population.

Sénégal’s mining code is based on French civil law. The state owns all mineral rights, with the terms of exploration and mining established by contract between the concession holder and the state. Exploration concessions are generally granted for four years with rights of renewal. In the case of OJVG, its exploration concession was renewed from 2005 through 2009 and in January 2010 was converted into a Mining License with a life of 15 years renewable thereafter if renewal conditions set out in the mining code are met.

A.	Operating Results

The Company is in the business of exploring its resource properties, with the primary aim of developing them to a stage where they can be exploited at a profit. The Company does not currently have any producing properties and its current operations are exploratory searches for minerals.

During the fiscal year ended February 29, 2013, the Company’s principal activities consisted solely of continuing the exploration of its OJVG mineral property in Sénégal. As set out in Note 5 to the accompanying financial statements, on the equity accounting basis the Company decreased its investment in the OJVG project by a net $32,978,272 which consists of an impairment charge of $36,000,000 offset by an increase of $3,012,728 in exploration and evaluation expenses. These expenses are reduced by 66% from the previous year and reflected a transition from a drilling and resource and reserve definition focus to an engineering focus on the preparation of resource and reserve update reports and feasibility study and preliminary economic assessment updates.

During the fiscal year ended February 29, 2012, the Company’s principal activities consisted solely of continuing the exploration of its OJVG mineral property in Sénégal. As set out in Note 5 to the accompanying financial statements, on the equity accounting basis the Company increased its investment in the OJVG project by $8,862,865. Expenditure at this project reflected a continuing strong level of exploration. The level of expenditure diminished from that of the prior fiscal year reflecting the completion of extensive and expensive engineering studies associated with the Feasibility Study completed in July 2010 and a reduction in drilling activity commensurate with the completion of feasibility.

During the fiscal year ended February 28, 2011, the Company’s principal activities consisted solely of continuing the exploration of its OJVG mineral property in Sénégal. As set out in Note 5 to the accompanying financial statements, on the equity accounting basis the Company increased its investment in the OJVG project by $16,875,490. Levels of expenditure at this project reflected a continuation of a robust pace of exploration as that project reached the full Feasibility Study stage in July 2010.

As at February 28, 2013, the Company had recorded on the equity basis of accounting a net investment of $43,393,053 which includes an estimate for impairment of $36,000,000. Before giving effect to this estimate for impairment, the Company’s investment in the OJVG Property in Sénégal was $79,393,053, an increase of $3,021,728 from the prior year’s investment. The major components of fiscal 2013 expenditures of $7,521,035 are set out, in respect of the 100% combined project interest, in Note 5 to the accompanying financial statements of which the largest components are as follows: wages and benefits of $1,469,529 or 20% of the total; engineering costs of $1,351,122 or 18% of the total; project administration costs of $1,186,246 or 16% of the total; contractor and geological staff costs of $1,081,788 or 14% of the total; and camp operation costs of $1,065,315 or 14% of the total. The exploration and evaluation activities for 2013 (fiscal year ended February 28, 2013) were focused principally on prospecting, mapping and hand trenching on various targets on the exploration concession, and on resource and reserve updates and a feasibility study update on the CIL portion of the development plan and a preliminary economic assessment (“PEA”) update on the heap leach portion of the development plan. We reported on the updated CIL feasibility study and the updated heap leach PEA on January 31, 2013 and posted each of the full studies on our website in March 2013.

As at February 29, 2012, the Company had recorded on the equity basis of accounting a total investment of $76,371,325 with respect to its OJVG Property in Sénégal, an increase of $8,862,865 from the prior year’s investment. The major components of fiscal 2012 expenditures of $21,941,211 are set out, in respect of the 100% combined project interest, in Note 5 to the accompanying financial statements of which the largest components are as follows: drilling costs of $7,383,802 or 34% of the total; camp operation costs of $2,383,514 or 11% of the total; contractor and geological staff costs of $2,052,096 or 9% of the total; sample analysis costs of $1,744,286 or 8% of the total; and social program costs of $1,502,934 or 7% of the total. The exploration activities for 2012 (fiscal year ended February 29, 2012) were focused principally on drilling and related sample analysis/assaying, and the development of additional targets, both as to extensions of established deposits and as to identification of new areas of interest.

As at February 28, 2011, the Company had recorded on the equity basis of accounting a total investment of $67,508,460 with respect to its OJVG Property in Sénégal. The major components of fiscal 2011 expenditures of $37,103,066 are set out, in respect of the 100% combined project interest, in Note 5 to the accompanying financial statements of which the largest components are as follows: drilling costs of $17,416,654 or 47% of the total; engineering costs of $5,602,991 or 15% of the total; sample analysis costs of $3,300,694 or 9% of the total; camp operation costs of $2,852,720 or 8% of the total; and contractor and geological staff costs of $2,245,250 or 6% of the total. The exploration activities for 2011 (fiscal year ended February 28, 2011) were focused principally on drilling and related sample analysis/assaying, and on engineering costs of the Feasibility Study completed in July 2010.

Fiscal Year Ended February 28, 2013 Compared to Fiscal Year Ended February 29, 2012

During the fiscal year ended February 28, 2013 the Company recorded a corporate advisory fee cost of ($251,935), an equity loss on its investment in OJVG of ($36,066,506), financing costs of ($69,571), interest expense of ($15,978), project administration cost recoveries of $515,074, interest income of $17,370, and a foreign exchange gain of $24,091. During the fiscal year ended February 29, 2012 the Company recorded a corporate advisory fee cost of ($1,941,571), an equity loss on its investment in OJVG of ($109,917), interest income of $105,565, a foreign exchange loss of ($1,948), project administration cost recoveries of $664,623 and a write-down of its oil and gas project of $(83,112). The corporate advisory fee cost is highly variable and diminished in fiscal 2013 on the termination of these agreements as agreed between the parties. Of the equity loss in OJVG of $36,066,506, the amount of $36,000,000 arises from an estimate for impairment and $66,506 is largely dependent on foreign exchange effects in that entity’s accounting. Financing costs and interest expense are new cost centres arising from the loan payable transaction set out in Note 9 to the financial statements which accompany this 20-F report. Project administration fees decreased due to

lower levels of project costs and related administrative activities. Write-downs of project costs are highly variable depending on the results of impairment reviews.

Expenses for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2013 were $2,496,023, a 62% decrease from $6,514,266 for the fiscal year ended February 29, 2012. As in the prior year, by far the most significant decrease was in share-based payment costs. This cost is highly variable depending on numbers of options granted and market and exercise prices at and preceding the date or dates of grant, together with prevailing risk-free interest rates – factors which have a significant effect on the volatility inputs to the option pricing model on which the costs recognized are based. The principal decreases in other cost centres were for professional and consulting fees, and for salaries and benefits. Professional and consulting fees decreased reflecting the absence of extensive financing and corporate planning activities related to a possible corporate transaction in the 2012 fiscal year which did not materialize. Salaries and benefits costs diminished principally since a significant bonus paid to the Company’s CEO in fiscal 2012 was not repeated in fiscal 2013.

Net loss for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2013 was $38,343,478 or $0.28 per share compared with a net loss for the fiscal year ended February 29, 2012 of $8,207,833 or $0.06 per share. The increase in net loss is attributable principally to the $36,000,000 estimate for impairment which arose upon the completion of an open market bid by an arm's length public company, supported by Oromin's management, which implied a market transaction-based valuation of the Company's interest in the OJVG Project which was approximately $36,000,000 less than the previous unadjusted carrying value. The estimate for impairment was off-set by the reduction in share-based payments and in the corporate advisory fee costs set out in the preceding paragraphs. The Company expects to continue to incur substantial net operating losses for the fiscal year ending February 28, 2014 at a level currently projected to be similar to but somewhat less than in the 2013 fiscal year.

Fiscal Year Ended February 29, 2012 Compared to Fiscal Year Ended February 28, 2011

During the fiscal year ended February 29, 2012 the Company recorded a corporate advisory fee cost of ($1,941,571), an equity loss on its investment in OJVG of ($109,917), interest income of $105,565, a foreign exchange loss of ($1,948), project administration cost recoveries of $664,623 and a write-down of its oil and gas project of $(83,112). During the fiscal year ended February 28, 2011 the Company recorded a corporate advisory fee cost of ($2,807,405), an equity gain on its investment in OJVG of $123,000, interest income of $105,234, a foreign exchange loss of $(110,888), project administration fees of $495,647 and a write-down of its oil and gas project of $(1,443,355). The corporate advisory fee cost is highly variable and diminished in fiscal 2012 as agreed between the parties. The equity loss or gain in OJVG is largely dependent on foreign exchange effects in that entity’s accounting. Those FX effects tend to move in opposite directions in OJVG from those experienced in the Company’s FX transactions. Project administration fees increased due to higher levels of project costs and related administrative activities. Write-downs of project costs are highly variable depending on the results of impairment reviews.

Expenses for the fiscal year ended February 29, 2012 were $6,514,266, up six per cent from $6,145,729 for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2011. However, there were wide variances in the line items. By far the most significant decrease was in share-based payment costs. This cost is highly variable depending on numbers of options granted and market and exercise prices at and preceding the date or dates of grant, together with prevailing risk-free interest rates –factors which have a significant effect on the volatility inputs to the option pricing model on which the costs recognized are based. The principal increases in other cost centres were for professional and consulting fees, for salaries and benefits, and for office and rent. Professional and consulting fees increased reflecting extensive financing and corporate planning activities. Salaries and benefits costs were commensurate with the ongoing scope and scale of the Company’s exploration activities, and include a significant bonus paid to the Company’s CEO. Office and rent increases were commensurate with the ongoing scope and scale of the Company’s exploration activities.

Net loss for the fiscal year ended February 29, 2012, was $8,207,833 or $0.06 per share compared with a net loss for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2011 of $9,783,496 or $0.08 per share. The decrease in net loss is attributable principally to the reduction in share-based payments as set out in Note 10 to the accompanying financial statements and to the reduction in the corporate advisory fee as set out in Note 6.

Fiscal Year Ended February 28, 2011 Compared to Fiscal Year Ended February 28, 2010

During the fiscal year ended February 28, 2011 the Company recorded a corporate advisory fee of ($2,807,405), a write-down of its oil and gas project of $(1,443,355), a foreign exchange loss of $(110,888), project administration fees of $495,647, equity income from the OJVG joint venture of $123,000, and interest income of $105,234. During the fiscal year ended February 28, 2010 the Company was operating under a different set of accounting standards, Canadian Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (CGAAP) and a comparison of several of the preceding cost centres to those for fiscal 2011 are not readily relevant due to the changes in accounting standards to IFRS. Those changes are set out in detail in our financial statements for the years ended February 2012 and 2011 which accompanied our report in Form 20-F filed in 2012 for the first year of conversion to IFRS.

Expenses for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2011 were $6,145,729 as determined under IFRS. Again, a comparison of expenses between the fiscal 2011 and fiscal 2010 years is not readily relevant due to the changes in accounting standards to IFRS.

Net loss for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2011 was $9,783,496 or $0.08 per share as determined under IFRS. Again, a comparison of expenses between the fiscal 2011 and fiscal 2010 years is not readily relevant due to the changes in accounting standards to IFRS.


B.	Liquidity and Capital Resources

As set out in the consolidated statements of changes in equity, during the 2011 financial year the Company completed two major financings for gross proceeds of $30.3 million. These financing proceeds are an example of the Company’s sole external source of liquidity, namely, equity financings. During the last seven financial years, the Company has had the benefit of gross proceeds of capital stock placements issued for cash of $15.7 million in fiscal 2007, $24.6 million in fiscal 2008, $0.7 million in fiscal 2009, $26.9 million in fiscal 2010, $30.3 million in fiscal 2011, 0.9 million in fiscal 2012, and a very minor 0.03 million in fiscal 2013. These financings total $99.1 million raised in the past seven years, a period which in substantial part was characterized by difficult conditions in the capital markets.

In management's view, given the nature of the Company's activities, which consist of the acquisition and exploration of resource properties, financial information concerning the Company’s current liquidity and capital resources is highly meaningful and material. The Company does not currently own or have an interest in any producing resource properties and has not derived any revenues from the sale of resource products in the last three financial years. The Company's OJVG mineral project is located in Sénégal, and as a result the Company's operations may be subject to additional risks.

In the final two months of the 2012-2013 fiscal year the Company entered into a loan agreement as set out in Note 9 to the accompanying financial statements. This represents a departure from our usual method of financing, and was undertaken largely to avoid the dilution of shareholders’ equity which an equity placement was perceived to impose. Funds advanced were $1,800,000 as at February 28, 2012, $3,000,000 at May 31, 2013, and$3,802,000 at the date of the change in control referred to in Note 19 to the accompanying financial statements. The change in control triggered a repayment provision for the loan, to be funded by Teranga, which negotiated a repayment schedule in which total amount outstanding under the loan is to be repaid on or before September 30, 2013. These repayments have generated or will generate indebtedness of the Company to Teranga, with no fixed terms of repayment. The Company will receive further loans from Teranga for general working capital purposes, also constituting indebtedness to Teranga on the same terms.

Up until the most recent nine months, the Company's exploration activities have been funded through sales of common shares. On a standalone basis, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain required financing in the future on acceptable terms, or at all. In the near term, the Company plans to continue its exploration activities on the OJVG gold project. The Company has not made use of any financial instruments for hedging purposes

in the fiscal year ended February 29, 2013 or to the date of this Annual Report. The Company had no material commitments for capital expenditures at the end of its most recent fiscal year.

Other than as discussed herein, the Company is not aware of any trends, demands, commitments, events or uncertainties that may result in the Company's liquidity either materially increasing or decreasing at present, other than in the case where the owners were to make a production decision on the OJVG gold project. In that case, the associated capital and other start-up costs would be extremely material, and require a high level of confidence in related financing being put in place. Material increases or decreases in the Company's liquidity will be substantially determined by the scope of exploration and, on a production decision being made, of development costs, on the Company’s resource project, and on the state of the capital markets.

February 28, 2013 Compared to February 29, 2012

At February 28, 2013, the Company’s current assets totalled $1,203,021 compared to $4,351,095 at February 29, 2012, a decrease of $3.1 million. Of this decrease, $2.8 million or 90% is attributable to the changes in the Company’s cash balances as set out in the consolidated statement of cash flows. These in turn consist of net cash outflows for joint venture investments and joint venture advances, totalling $2.97 million; net cash consumed by operating activities of $1.57 million; and cash inflows of $1.72 million of which a net 1.69 million came from proceeds of the loan payable less expenses as set out in Note 9 to the accompanying financial statements, and a very modest 0.04 million from the exercise of stock options. For the same periods, current liabilities increased from $286,000 to $2.01 million. This material increase consists of $276,000 in trade and other payables, and an amount recognized for accounting purposes under IFRS of $1.45 million in respect of the loan payable. Included in the Company’s current liabilities were payables or accrued liabilities of $32,227 due to related parties as set out in Note 11 to the accompanying financial statements. The Company had a working capital deficiency at February 28, 2013 of $811,638 compared to positive working capital of $4,064,839 at February 29, 2012. The drawdown of working capital is attributable to both a diminishment of $3.1 million in current assets and a $2.0 million increase in current liabilities, reduced by the increase in our investment in the Oromin Joint Venture of $3.0 million. At both February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012, the Company had no long-term debt.

At February 28, 2013, the Company had total assets of $44,740,962 compared to $80,937,002 at February 29, 2012. The large decrease is almost entirely attributable to the estimate for impairment of $36,000,000 discussed above.

Share capital as at February 28, 2013 was $112,789,972, a modest increase from $112,455,628 as at February 29, 2012, attributable to the transactions set out in the statement of changes in equity. Of this, the great majority is attributable to shares issued in non-cash consideration of the loan payable as set out in Note 9 to the accompanying financial statements.

The Company's largest cash outflows in the fiscal year ended February 28, 2013 resulted, as is the case every year, from net joint venture investments; for the year ended February 28, 2013 these were $3,021,728 as set out in the first table in Note 5 to the accompanying financial statements. The decrease of 66% from the prior year is principally attributable to the reduced drilling and other field costs at the OJVG gold project as also set out in Note 5. The cash inflows for the year ended February 28, 2013 arose from the proceeds of the loan payable transaction set out in Note 9. This represents a significant change to our customary financing by way of equity private placements.

February 29, 2012 Compared to February 28, 2011

At February 29, 2012, the Company’s current assets totalled $4,351,095 compared to $17,415,376 at February 28, 2011, a decrease of $13.1 million. Of this decrease, $12.3 million or 94% is attributable to the changes in the Company’s cash balances as set out in the consolidated statement of cash flows. These in turn consist of net cash outflows for joint venture investments and joint venture advances, totalling $8.95 million; net cash consumed by operating activities of $4.3 million; and cash inflows of $0.9 million from the exercise of share purchase warrants and stock options. For the same periods, current liabilities reduced from $351,000 to $286,000, a change we do not regard as material. Included in the Company’s current liabilities were payables or accrued liabilities of $59,224 due to related

parties as set out in Note 11 to the accompanying financial statements. The Company had working capital at February 29, 2012 of $4,064,839 compared to $17,064,272 at February 28, 2011. At both February 29, 2012 and February 28, 2011, the Company had no long-term debt.

At February 29, 2012, the Company had total assets of $80,967,002 compared to $85,178,886 at February 28, 2011. The decrease arises essentially from the $12.3 million draw-down in cash described above, offset in part by the $8.9 million increase in our investment in the OJVG joint venture.

Share capital as at February 29, 2012 was $112,455,628, a modest increase from $111,298,040 as at February 28, 2011, attributable to the transactions set out in the statement of changes in equity.

The Company's largest cash outflows in the fiscal year ended February 29, 2012 resulted, as is the case every year, from net joint venture investments; for the year ended February 29, 2012 these were $8,862,865 as set out in the first table in Note 5 to the accompanying financial statements. The decrease of 47% from the prior year is principally attributable to the reduced drilling and engineering costs at the OJVG gold project as also set out in Note 5. The cash inflows for the year ended February 29, 2012 arose from the exercise proceeds of warrants and stock options, in the relatively modest total of $873,000. During the preceding financial year ended February 28, 2011 major financings in the public markets generated $28.6 million. No such financings were necessary in fiscal 2012.

February 28, 2011 Compared to March 1, 2010

At February 28, 2011, the Company’s current assets totalled $17,415,376 compared to $10,318,584 at March 1, 2010 (the transition date to our commencing reporting our financial statements under IFRS). Of the increase of $7.1 million, $6.2 million or 87% is attributable to the changes in the Company’s cash balances as set out in the consolidated statement of cash flows. These in turn consist of net cash inflows of a net $28.6 million raised in two major financings in the public markets; net cash outflows for joint venture investments and joint venture advances totalling $17.0 million; and net cash consumed by operating activities of $5.0 million. Over the same periods, current liabilities reduced from $621,000 to $351,000. Included in the Company’s current liabilities were payables or accrued liabilities of $59,087 due to related parties as set out in Note 11 to the accompanying financial statements. The Company had working capital of at February 28, 2011 of $17,064,272 compared to $9,697,686 at March 1, 2010. At both February 28, 2011 and March 1, 2010, the Company had no long-term debt.

At February 28, 2011, the Company had total assets of $85,178,886 compared to $62,334,331 at March 1, 2010. The increase of $22.8 million arises essentially from the net proceeds of the two significant financings carried out in the fiscal year, reduced by the Company’s net loss, including the write-down of its oil and gas interests.

Share capital as at February 28, 2011 was $111,298,040, up from $82,876,200 as at March 1, 2010, attributable to the financings completed during the period, as set out in the statement of changes in equity.

The Company's largest cash outflows in the fiscal year ended February 28, 2011 resulted, as is the case every year, from increased investment in the OJVG joint venture; for the year ended February 28, 2011 these were $17.0 million. The cash inflows for the year ended February 28, 2011 were characterized primarily by two large financings summarized in the statement of changes in equity that generated net cash proceeds of $27.7 million. Warrant and stock option exercise proceeds added a further $870,000.

Outlook

The change in control triggered a repayment provision for the loan, to be funded by Teranga, which negotiated a repayment schedule in which total amount outstanding under the loan is to be repaid on or before September 30, 2013. These repayments have generated or will generate indebtedness of the Company to Teranga, with no fixed terms of repayment. The Company will receive further loans from Teranga for general working capital purposes, also constituting indebtedness to Teranga on the same terms.

In the near term, the Company plans to continue its exploration and evaluation activities on its OJVG Property. A joint venture budget of USD $6.2 million has been approved for calendar 2013, of which the Company’s 50% portion is USD $3.1 million. Principal activities under way during the new fiscal year currently in progress are prospecting and geological mapping at peripheral portions of the Project area and hand-trenching, structural mapping and sampling at a number of recent discoveries. No additional drilling is planned for the 2013 calendar year. Since the acquisition of the Company’s shares by Teranga, funding of the Company’s share of expenditures under the 2013 budget will be the responsibility of Teranga. Teranga has made arrangements to repay the loan facility described in Note 9 to the accompanying financial statements. The Company had no material commitments for capital expenditures at the end of its most recent fiscal year, but plans and intends to continue with its share of exploration and evaluation expenditures on the OJVG Property. The Company’s resource property is not in production and, therefore, does not produce any income.

This Form 20-F is being filed as an Annual Report under the Exchange Act and, as such, there is no requirement to provide any information under this section.


B.	Memorandum and Articles of Association

The Company was amalgamated on February 25, 2002 pursuant to the Company Act (British Columbia) (the “Act”) and is registered with the Registrar of Companies for British Columbia under corporation number 642805. The Company is not limited in its objects and purposes.

With respect to directors, the Articles of the Company provide that a director who is, in any way, directly or indirectly interested in an existing or proposed contract or transaction with the Company, or who holds any office or possesses any property whereby, directly or indirectly, a duty or interest might be created to conflict with his duty or interest as a director, shall declare the nature and extent of his interest in such contract or transaction or the conflict or potential conflict with his duty and interest as a director, as the case may be, in accordance with the provisions of the Act and shall abstain from voting in respect thereof. This prohibition does not apply to:

	(i)	any such contract or transaction relating to a loan to the Company, which a director or a specified corporation or a specific firm in which he has an interest has guaranteed or joined in guaranteeing the repayment of the loan or any part of the loan;
	(ii)	any contract or transaction made or to be made with, or for the benefit of a holding corporation or a subsidiary corporation of which a director is a director;
	(iii)	any contract by a director to subscribe for or underwrite shares or debentures to be issued by the Company or a subsidiary of the Company, or any contract, arrangement or transaction in which a director is, directly or indirectly interested if all the other directors are also, directly or indirectly interested in the contract, arrangement or transaction;
	(iv)	determining the remuneration of the directors;
	(v)	purchasing and maintaining insurance to cover directors against liability incurred by them as directors; or
	(vi)	the indemnification of any director by the Company.

The Articles of the Company also provide that the directors may from time to time on behalf of the Company borrow such money in such manner and amount, on such security, from such sources and upon such terms and conditions as they think fit; issue bonds, debentures and other debt obligations, either outright or as security for any liability or obligation of the Company, or any other person; and mortgage, charge, whether by way of specific or floating charge, or give other security on the undertaking, or on the whole or any part of the property and assets of the Company (both present and future). Variation of these borrowing powers would require an amendment to the Articles of the Company that would, in turn, require the approval of the shareholders of the Company by way of a Special Resolution. A Special Resolution means a resolution cast by a majority of not less than ¾ of the votes cast by shareholders of the Company who, being entitled to do so, vote in person or by proxy at a general meeting of the Company of which notice as the Articles of the Company provide and not being less than 21 days notice specifying the intention to propose the resolution as a special resolution, has been duly given (or, if every shareholder entitled to attend and vote at the meeting agrees, at a meeting of which less than 21 days notice has been given), or a resolution consented

to in writing by every shareholder of the Company who would have been entitled to vote in person or by proxy at a general meeting of the Company, and a resolution so consented to is deemed to be a special resolution passed at a general meeting of the Company.

There is no requirement in the Articles of the Company or in the Act requiring retirement or non-retirement of directors under an age limit requirement, nor is there any minimum shareholding required for a director’s qualification.

Holders of common shares of the Company are entitled to vote at meetings of shareholders, and a Special Resolution, as described above, is required to effect a change in the rights of shareholders. Holders of common shares are not entitled to pre-emptive rights. Holders of common shares are entitled, rateably, to the remaining property of the Company upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, and such holders receive dividends if, as, and when, declared by the directors of the Company. There are no restrictions on the purchase or redemption of common shares by the Company while there is an arrearage in the payment of dividends or sinking fund installments. There is no liability on the part of any shareholder to further capital calls by the Company nor any provision discriminating against any existing or prospective holder of securities of the Company as a result of such shareholder owning a substantial number of shares. There are no limitations on the rights to own securities, including the rights of non-resident or foreign shareholders to hold or exercise voting rights on the securities imposed by the Act or by the constating document of the Company.

The Company is required to give its registered shareholders not less than 21 days notice of any general meeting of the Company unless all such shareholders consent to reduce or waive the period. In addition, the Company is obliged to give notice to registrants and intermediaries who hold shares on behalf of the ultimate beneficial owners no fewer than 35 or more than 60 days prior to the date of the meeting. The Company then delivers, in bulk, proxy-related materials in amounts specified by the intermediaries. No shares of the Company owned by registrants or intermediaries may be voted at a general meeting of the Company unless all proxy-related materials are delivered to the ultimate beneficial owners of such shares. Such ultimate beneficial owner must then deliver a proxy to the Company within the time limited by the Company for the deposit of proxies in order to vote the shares in respect of which such person is the beneficial owner.

There is no provision in the Company's Articles that would have an effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of the Company and that would operate only with respect to a merger, acquisition or corporate restructuring involving the Company (or any of its subsidiaries).

Securities legislation in the Company’s home jurisdiction of British Columbia requires that shareholder ownership must be disclosed once a person owns beneficially or has control or direction over greater than 10% of the issued shares of the Company. This threshold is higher than the 5% threshold under U.S. securities legislation at which shareholders must report their share ownership.


C.	Material Contracts

By a Mining Convention signed February 17, 2005 between the Company and the Government of Sénégal, the Company, on behalf of the Oromin Joint Venture Group (“OJVG”), was granted an exploration concession to explore the OJVG Property, a 230 square kilometre property in the Republic of Sénégal. The OJVG was a joint venture between the Company and Bendon International Ltd. (“Bendon”), each as to 50% with the Company and Bendon each holding a 6.5% interest in trust for Badr Investment & Finance Company (“Badr”), a private company based in Saudi Arabia, pending its execution of a tripartite joint venture agreement on the same terms as the current joint venture agreement between the Company and Bendon, such joint venture interest to be transferred to Badr on execution of such tripartite agreement. In order to acquire a 100% interest in the OJVG Property, the OJVG was required to spend at least USD$8 million on exploration of the OJVG Property by April 17, 2007 which it has done.

By an agreement dated December 18, 2006, as amended, between Oromin Joint Venture Group Ltd. (“OJVG Ltd.”), Sabodala Holding Limited (“SHL”) (a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company), Bendon and Badr, the OJVG was converted into a corporate form. SHL and Bendon each own a 43.5% interest and Badr owns a 13% interest in OJVG Ltd. SHL and Bendon have agreed to each fund 50% of the costs of exploration and development of the OJVG

Property, with Badr’s interest being fully carried for as long as it owns an interest in OJVG Ltd. The exploration concession comprising the OJVG Property has been assigned the OJVG Ltd. SHL is the operator of OJVG Ltd. to which it provides exploration and management services.

In March 2007, the Government of Sénégal granted a twenty month extension (to December 22, 2008) to the current Mining Convention by requiring the spending of an additional USD$12 million during the extension period –which condition has been met. Thereafter, OJVG Ltd. had ten months (to October 22, 2009) to complete a preliminary Feasibility Study on the project, at which point the concession could be converted to an exploitation concession. The preliminary Feasibility Study was completed in August 2009, meeting this condition. Upon conversion of the concession from an exploration to an exploitation concession, OVJG Ltd. must establish an operating company to further develop the OJVG Property and is obliged to offer to Sénégalese nationals the right to purchase up to 25% of such operating company at a price determined by an independent valuator. On January 26, 2010, OJVG was granted a mining licence for the OJVG Property. The mining licence is for a term of fifteen years and will permit OJVG to begin mining operations in accordance with recommendations of the Feasibility Study authored by SRK Consulting and Ausenco Limited and completed in July 2010 – subject to the making of a production decision of the owners, a step which has not to date occurred. OJVG is in the process of establishing an operating company to undertake the development of the OJVG Property as required by the Mining Convention as disclosed above. The operating company will be owned by OJVG as to 90% and by the Government of Sénégal as to 10% subject to the requirement to offer to Sénégalese nationals the right to purchase up to 25% of such operating company set out above. The interest to be owned by the Government of Sénégal is fully carried and the Government of Sénégal is also entitled to royalties equal to 3% of net smelter returns.


D.	Exchange Controls

There are no governmental laws, decrees or regulations in Canada relating to restrictions on the export or import of capital, or affecting the remittance of interest, dividends or other payments to non-resident holders of the Company’s common shares. Any remittances of dividends to United States residents are, however, subject to a 15% withholding tax (5% if the shareholder is a corporation owning at least 10% of the outstanding common shares of the Company) pursuant to Article X of the reciprocal tax treaty between Canada and the United States. See “Item 10 – Additional Information – E. Taxation”, below.

Except as provided in the Investment Canada Act (the “Act”), which has provisions which govern the acquisition of a control block of voting shares by non-Canadians of a corporation carrying on a Canadian business, there are no limitations specific to the rights of non-Canadians to hold or vote the common shares of the Company under the laws of Canada or the Province of British Columbia or in the charter documents of the Company.

Management of the Company considers that the following general summary fairly describes those provisions of the Act pertinent to an investment in the Company by a person who is not a Canadian resident (a “non-Canadian”).

The Act requires a non-Canadian making an investment which would result in the acquisition of control of the Canadian business to notify the Investment Review Division of Industry Canada, the federal agency created by the Act; or in the case of an acquisition of a Canadian business, the gross value of the assets of which exceeds certain threshold levels or the business activity of which is related to Canada’s cultural heritage of national identity, to file an application for review with the Investment Review Division.

The notification procedure involves a brief statement of information about the investment on a prescribed form that is required to be filed with Investment Canada by the investor at any time up to 30 days following implementation of the investment. Once the completed notice has been filed, a receipt bearing the certificate date will be issued to the non-Canadian investor. The receipt must advise the investor either that the investment proposal is unconditionally non-reviewable or that the proposal will not be reviewed as long as notice of review is not issued within 21 days of the date certified under the receipt. It is intended that investments requiring only notification will proceed without government intervention unless the investment is in a specific type of business activity related to Canada’s cultural heritage and national identity.

If an investment is reviewable under the Act, an order for review must be issued within 21 days after the certified date on which notice of investment was received. An application for review in the form prescribed is required to be filed with Investment Canada prior to the investment taking place. Once the application has been filed, a receipt will be issued to the applicant, certifying the date on which the application was received. For incomplete applications, a deficiency notice will be sent to the applicant, and if not done within 15 days of receipt of application, the application will be deemed to be complete as of the date it was received. Within 45 days after the complete application has been received, the Minister responsible for the Investment Canada Act must notify the potential investor that the Minister is satisfied that the investment is likely to be of net benefit to Canada. If within such 45-day period the Minister is unable to complete the review, the Minister has an additional 30 days to complete the review, unless the applicant agrees to a longer period. Within such additional period, the Minister must advise either that he is satisfied or not satisfied that the investment is likely to be of net benefit to Canada. If the time limits have elapsed, the Minister will be deemed to be satisfied that the investment is likely to be of net benefit to Canada. The investment may not be implemented until the review has been completed and the Minister is satisfied that the investment is likely to be of net benefit to Canada.

If the Minister is not satisfied that the investment is likely to be of net benefit to Canada, the non-Canadian must not implement the investment or, if the investment has been implemented, could be penalized by being required to divest himself of control of the business that is the subject of the investment. To date, the only types of business activities which have been prescribed by regulation as related to Canada’s cultural heritage or national identity deal largely with publication, film and music industries. Because the Company’s total assets are less than the $5 million notification threshold, and because the Company’s business activities would likely not be deemed related to Canada’s cultural heritage or national identity, acquisition of a controlling interest in the Company by a non-Canadian investor would not be subject to even the notification requirements under the Investment Canada Act.

	The following investments by non-Canadians are subject to notification under the Act:

1.	an investment to establish a new Canadian business; and
2.	an investment to acquire control of a Canadian business that is not reviewable pursuant to the Act.

	The following investments by a non-Canadian are subject to review under the Act:

1.	direct acquisition of control of Canadian businesses with assets of $5 million or more, unless the acquisition is being made by a World Trade Organization (“WTO”) member country investor (the United States being a member of the WTO);
2.	direct acquisition of control of Canadian businesses with assets of $172,000,000 or more by a WTO investor;
3.	indirect acquisition of control of Canadian business with assets of $5 million or more if such assets represent more than 50% of the total value of the assets of the entities, the control of which is being acquired, unless the acquisition is being made by a WTO investor, in which case there is no review;
4.	indirect acquisition of control of Canadian businesses with assets of $50 million or more even if such assets represent less than 50% of the total value of the assets of the entities, the control of which is being acquired, unless the acquisition is being made by a WTO investor, in which case there is no review; and
5.	an investment subject to notification that would not otherwise be reviewable if the Canadian business engages in the activity of publication, distribution or sale of books, magazines, periodicals, newspapers, film or video recordings, audio or video music recordings, or music in print or machine-readable form.

Generally speaking, an acquisition is direct if it involves the acquisition of control of the Canadian business or of its Canadian parent or grandparent and an acquisition is indirect if it involves the acquisition of control of a non-Canadian parent or grandparent of an entity carrying on the Canadian business. Control may be acquired through the acquisition of actual voting control by the acquisition of voting shares of a Canadian corporation or through the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of the Canadian business. No change of voting control will be deemed to have occurred if less than one-third of the voting control of a Canadian corporation is acquired by an investor.

A WTO investor, as defined in the Act, includes an individual who is a national of a member country of the World Trade Organization or who has the right of permanent residence in relation to that WTO member, a government or government agency of a WTO investor-controlled corporation, limited partnership, trust or joint venture and a corporation, limited partnership, trust or joint venture that is neither WTO-investor controlled or Canadian controlled of which two-thirds of its board of directors, general partners or trustees, as the case may be, or any combination of Canadians and WTO investors.

The higher thresholds for WTO investors do not apply if the Canadian business engages in activities in certain sectors such as uranium, financial services, transportation services or communications.

The Act specifically exempts certain transactions from either notification or review. Included among this category of transactions is the acquisition of voting shares or other voting interests by any person in the ordinary course of that person’s business as a trader or dealer in securities.


E.	Taxation

Material Canadian Federal Income Tax Consequences

Through consultation with counsel, management of the Company believes that the following general summary accurately describes all material Canadian federal income tax consequences applicable to a holder of common shares of the Company who is a resident of the United States and who is not a resident of Canada and who does not use or hold, and is not deemed to use or hold, his common shares of the Company in connection with carrying on a business in Canada (a “non-resident holder”).

This summary is based upon the current provisions of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the “ITA”), the regulations thereunder (the “Regulations”), the current publicly announced administrative and assessing policies of Canada, Customs and Revenue Agency, and all specific proposals (the “Tax Proposals”) to amend the ITA and Regulations announced by the Minister of Finance (Canada) prior to the date hereof. This summary assumes that the Tax Proposals will be enacted in their form as of the date of this Annual Report. This description, except for the Tax Proposals, does not take into account or anticipate any changes in law, whether by legislative, government or judicial action, nor does it take into account provincial, territorial, or foreign tax considerations which may differ significantly from those discussed herein.

Dividends

Dividends paid on the common shares of the Company to a non-resident holder will be subject to withholding tax. The Canada-U.S. Income Tax Convention (1980) (the “Treaty”) provides that the normal 25% withholding tax rate under the ITA is reduced to 15% on dividends paid on shares of a corporation resident in Canada (such as the Company) to beneficial owners of the dividends who are residents of the United States, and also provides for a further reduction of this rate to 5% where the beneficial owner of the dividends is a corporation that is a resident of the United States which owns at least 10% of the voting shares of the corporation paying the dividend.

Capital Gains

Under the ITA, a taxpayer’s capital gain or capital loss from a disposition of a share of the Company is the amount, if any, by which his proceeds of disposition exceed (or are exceeded by) the aggregate of his adjusted cost base of the share and reasonable expenses of disposition. One half of a capital gain (the “taxable capital gain”) is included in income, and one half of a capital loss in a year (the “allowable capital loss”) is deductible from taxable capital gains realized in the same year. The amount by which a shareholder’s allowable capital loss exceeds his taxable capital gains in a year may be deducted from a taxable capital gain realized by the shareholder in the three previous or any subsequent year, subject to certain restrictions in the case of a corporate shareholder.

A non-resident holder is not subject to tax under the ITA in respect of a capital gain realized upon the disposition of a share of a public corporation unless the share represents “taxable Canadian property” to the holder thereof. The Company is a public corporation for purposes of the ITA and a common share of the Company will be taxable Canadian property to a non-resident holder if, at any time during the period of five years immediately preceding the disposition, the non-resident holder, persons with whom the non-resident holder did not deal at arm’s length, or the non-resident holder and persons with whom he did not deal at arm’s length together owned not less than 25% of the issued shares of any class of shares of the Company.

Where a non-resident holder who is an individual ceased to be resident in Canada, and at the time he ceased to be a Canadian resident elected to have his Company shares treated as taxable Canadian property, he will be subject to Canadian tax on any capital gain realized on disposition of the Company’s shares, subject to the relieving provisions of the Treaty described below. Shares of the Company may also be taxable Canadian property to a holder if the holder acquired them pursuant to certain tax-deferred “rollover” transactions whereby the holder exchanged property that was taxable Canadian property for shares of the Company.

Where the non-resident holder realized a capital gain on a disposition of the Company shares that constitute taxable Canadian property, the Treaty relieves the non-resident shareholder from liability for Canadian tax on such capital gains unless:

(a)	the value of the shares is derived principally from “real property” in Canada, including the right to explore for or exploit natural resources and rights to amounts computed by reference to production from natural resources, which is the case for the Company,
(b)	the non-resident holder is an individual who was resident in Canada for not less than 120 months during any period of 20 consecutive years preceding, and at any time during the 10 years immediately preceding, the disposition and the shares were owned by him when he ceased to be resident in Canada or are property substituted for property that was owned at that time, or
(c)	the shares formed part of the business property of a “permanent establishment” or pertained to a fixed base used for the purpose of performing independent personal services that the shareholder has or had in Canada within the 12 months preceding the disposition.

Material United States Federal Income Tax Consequences

The following summary is a general discussion of the material United States Federal income tax considerations to U.S. holders of shares of the Company under current law. This discussion assumes that U.S. holders hold their shares of the Company’s common stock as capital assets within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). It does not discuss all the tax consequences that may be relevant to particular holders in light of their circumstances or to holders subject to special rules, such as tax-exempt organizations, qualified retirement plans, financial institutions, insurance companies, real estate investment trusts, regulated investment companies, broker-dealers, non-resident alien individuals or foreign corporations whose ownership of shares of the Company is not effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States, shareholders who acquired their stock through the exercise of employee stock options or otherwise as compensation, shareholders who hold their stock as ordinary assets and not capital assets and any other non-U.S. holders. In addition, U.S. holders may be subject to state, local or foreign tax consequences. No opinion or representation with respect to the United States Federal income tax consequences to any such holder or prospective holder is being made by the Company herein. Holders and prospective holders should therefore consult with their own tax advisors with respect to their particular circumstances. This discussion covers all material tax consequences.

The following discussion is based upon the sections of the Code, Treasury Regulations, published Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) rulings, published administrative positions of the IRS and court decisions that are currently applicable, any or all of which could be materially and adversely changed, possibly on a retroactive basis, at any time. This decision does not consider the potential effects, both adverse and beneficial, of any recently proposed legislation that, if enacted, could be applied, possibly on a retroactive basis, at any time. Accordingly, holders and prospective

holders of shares of the Company should consult their own tax advisors about the Federal, state, local, estate, and foreign tax consequences of purchasing, owning and disposing of shares of the Company.

U.S. Holders

As used herein, a “U.S. Holder” includes a holder of shares of the Company who is a citizen or resident of the United States, a corporation created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or of any political subdivision thereof, any entity that is taxable as a corporation for U.S. tax purposes and any other person or entity whose ownership of shares of the Company is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States. A U.S. Holder does not include persons subject to special provisions of Federal income tax law, such as tax exempt organizations, qualified retirement plans, financial institutions, insurance companies, real estate investment trusts, regulated investment companies, broker-dealers, non-resident alien individuals or foreign corporations whose ownership of shares of the Company is not effectively connected with conduct of trade or business in the United States, shareholders who acquired their stock through the exercise of employee stock options or otherwise as compensation and shareholders who hold their stock as ordinary assets and not as capital assets.

Distributions on Common Shares of the Company

U.S. Holders receiving dividend distribution (including constructive dividends) with respect to shares of the Company are required to include in gross income for United States Federal income tax purposes the gross amount of such distribution to the extent that the Company has current or accumulated earnings and profits as defined under U.S. Federal tax law, without reduction for any Canadian income tax withheld from such distributions. Such Canadian tax withheld may be credited, subject to certain limitations, against the U.S. Holder’s United States Federal income tax liability or, alternatively, may be deducted in computing the U.S. Holder’s United States Federal taxable income by those who itemize deductions. (See more detailed discussion at “Foreign Tax Credit” below). To the extent that distributions exceed current or accumulated earnings and profits of the Company, they will be treated first as a return of capital up to the U.S. Holder’s adjusted basis in the shares and thereafter as gain from the sale or exchange of the shares. Preferential tax rates for long-term net capital gains are applicable to a U.S. Holder that is an individual, estate or trust. There are currently no preferential tax rates for long-term capital gains for a U.S. Holder that is a corporation.

Dividends paid on the shares of the Company will not generally be eligible for the dividends received deduction provided to corporations receiving dividends from certain United States corporations. A U.S. Holder that is a corporation may, under certain circumstances, be entitled to a 70% deduction of the United States source portion of dividends received from the Company (unless the Company qualifies as a “foreign personal holding company” or a “passive foreign investment company”, as defined below) if such U.S. Holder owns shares representing at least 10% of the voting power and value of the Company. The availability of this deduction is subject to several complex limitations that are beyond the scope of this discussion.

In the case of foreign currency received as a dividend that is not converted by the recipient into U.S. dollars on the date of receipt, a U.S. Holder will have a tax basis in the foreign currency equal to its U.S. dollar value on the date of receipt. Generally, any gain or loss recognized upon a subsequent sale or other disposition of the foreign currency, including the exchange for U.S. dollars, will be ordinary income or loss. However, for tax years after 1997, an individual whose realized foreign exchange gain does not exceed U.S. $200 will not recognize that gain, to the extent that there are not expenses associated with the transaction that meet the requirement for deductibility as a trade or business expense other than travel expenses in connection with a business trip (or as an expense for the production of income).

Foreign Tax Credit

A U.S. Holder who pays (or has withheld from distribution) Canadian income tax with respect to the ownership of shares of the Company may be entitled, at the option of the U.S. Holder, to either a deduction or a tax credit for such foreign tax paid or withheld. Generally, it will be more advantageous to claim a credit because a credit reduces United States Federal income taxes on a dollar-for-dollar basis, while a deduction merely reduces the taxpayer’s income subject

to tax. This election is made on a year-by-year basis and applies to all foreign taxes paid by (or withheld from) the U.S. Holder during the year. There are significant and complex limitations that apply to the credit, among which is the general limitation that the credit cannot exceed the proportionate share of the U.S. Holder’s United States Federal income tax liability that the U.S. Holder’s foreign source income bears to this or its worldwide taxable income. In the determination of the application of this limitation, the various items of income and deduction must be classified into foreign and domestic sources. Complex rules govern this classification process. There are further limitations on the foreign tax credit for certain types of income such as “passive income”, “high withholding tax interest”, “financial services income”, “shipping income”, and certain other classifications of income. The availability of the foreign tax credit and the application of the limitations on the credit are fact specific and holders and prospective holders of shares of the Company should consult their own tax advisors regarding their individual circumstances.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

U.S information reporting requirements may apply with respect to the payment of dividends to U.S. Holders of the Company’s common shares. Under Treasury regulations currently in effect, non-corporate holders may be subject to backup withholding at a 31% rate with respect to dividends when such holder (1) fails to finish or certify a correct taxpayer identification number to the payor in the required manner, (2) is notified by the IRS that it has failed to report payments of interest or dividends properly or (3) fails, under certain circumstances, to certify that it has been notified by the IRS that it is subject to backup withholding for failure to report interest and dividend payments. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules from a payment to a U.S. Holder generally will be allowed as a credit against the U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability and may entitle the U.S. Holder to a refund, provided that the required information is furnished to the IRS. Certain U.S. Holders, including corporations, are not subject to backup withholding.

Disposition of Common Shares of the Company

A U.S. Holder will recognize a gain or loss upon the sale of shares of the Company equal to the difference, if any, between (i) the amount of cash plus the fair market value of any property received, and (ii) the shareholder’s tax basis in the shares of the Company. This gain or loss will be a capital gain or loss if the shares are a capital asset in the hands of the U.S. Holder, and will be a short-term or long-term capital gain or loss depending upon the holding period of the U.S. Holder. Gains and losses are netted and combined according to special rules in arriving at the overall capital gain or loss for a particular tax year. Deductions for net capital loss are subject to significant limitations. Corporate capital losses (other than losses of corporations electing under Subchapter S of the Code) are deductible to the extent of capital gains. Non-corporate taxpayers may deduct net capital losses, whether short-term or long-germ, up to U.S. $3,000 a year (U.S. $1,500 in the case of a married individual filing separately). For U.S. Holders who are individuals, any unused portion of such net capital loss may be carried over to be used in later tax years until such net capital loss is thereby exhausted. For U.S. Holders which are corporations (other than corporations subject to Subchapter S of the Code), an unused net capital loss may be carried back three years from the loss year and carried forward five years from the loss year to be offset against capital gains until such net capital loss is thereby exhausted.

Currency Exchange Gains or Losses

U.S. holders generally are required to calculate their taxable incomes in United States dollars. Accordingly, a U.S. holder who purchases common shares of the Company with Canadian dollars will be required to determine the tax basis of such shares in United States dollars based on the exchange rate prevailing on the settlement date of the purchase (and may be required to recognize the unrealized gain or loss, if any, in the Canadian currency surrendered in the purchase transaction). Similarly, a U.S. holder receiving dividends or sales proceeds from common shares of the Company in Canadian dollars will be required to compute the dividend income or the amount realized on the sale, as the case may be, in United States dollars based on the exchange rate prevailing at the time of receipt in the case of dividends and on the settlement date in the case of sales on an established securities exchange. Gain or loss, if any, recognized on a disposition of Canadian currency in connection with the described transactions generally will be treated as ordinary gain or loss.

Other Considerations

In the following circumstances, the above sections of this discussion may not describe the United States Federal income tax consequences resulting from the holding and disposition of common shares of the Company (the Company does not believe that it will qualify in the next year, or has qualified within the past three fiscal years, as a “foreign personal holding company”, “foreign investment company”, “passive foreign investment company” or “controlled foreign corporation” as discussed below):

Foreign Personal Holding Company

If at any time during a taxable year more than 50% of the total combined voting power or the total value of the Company’s outstanding shares is owned, directly or indirectly, by five or fewer individuals who are citizens of the United States and 60% or more of the Company’s gross income for such year was derived from certain passive sources (e.g., from dividends received from its subsidiaries), the Company would be treated as a “foreign personal holding company”. In that event, U.S. Holders that hold common shares of the Company (on the earlier of the last day of the Company’s tax year or the last date in which the Company was a foreign personal holding company) would be required to include in gross income for such year their allocable portions of such passive income to the extent the Company does not actually distribute such income.

Foreign Investment Company

If 50% or more of the combined voting power or total value of the Company’s outstanding shares are held, directly or indirectly, by citizens or residents of the United States, United States domestic partnerships or corporations, or estates or trusts other than foreign estates or trusts (as defined by the Code Section 7701(a)(31)), and the Company is found to be engaged primarily in the business of investing, reinvesting, or trading in securities, commodities, or any interest therein, it is possible that the Company might be treated as a “foreign investment company” as defined in Section 1246 of the Code, causing all or part of any gain realized by a U.S. Holder selling or exchanging common shares of the Company to be treated as ordinary income rather than capital gains.

Passive Foreign Investment Company

As a foreign corporation with U.S. Holders, the Company could potentially be treated as a passive foreign investment company (“PFIC”), as defined in Section 1297 of the Code, depending upon the percentage of the Company’s income which is passive, or the percentage of the Company’s assets which are producing passive income (generally 75% or more of its gross income in a taxable year is passive income, or the average percentage of the Company’s assets (by value) during the taxable year which produce passive income or which are held for production of same is at least 50%). Passive income is generally defined to include gross income in the nature of dividends, interest, royalties, rents and annuities; excess of gains over losses from certain transactions in any commodities not arising inter alia from a PFIC whose business is actively involved in such commodities; certain foreign currency gains; and other similar types of income. U.S. Holders owning shares of a PFIC are subject to an additional tax and to an interest charge based on the value of deferral of tax for the period during which the common shares of the PFIC are owned, in addition to treatment of gain realized on the disposition of common shares of the PFIC as ordinary income rather than capital gain. However, if the U.S. Holder makes a timely election to treat a PFIC as a qualified electing fund (“QEF”) with respect to such shareholder’s interest therein, the above-described rules generally will not apply. Instead, the electing U.S. Holder would include annually in his gross income his pro rata share of the PFIC’s ordinary earnings and net capital gain regardless of whether such income or gain was actually distributed. A U.S. Holder of a QEF can, however, elect to defer the payment of United States Federal income tax on such income inclusions. Special rules apply to U.S. Holders who own their interests in a PFIC through intermediate entities or person.

Effective for tax years of U.S. Holders beginning after December 31, 1997, U.S. Holders who hold, actually or constructively, marketable stock of a foreign corporation that qualifies as a PFIC may elect to mark such stock to the market (a “mark-to-market election”). If such an election is made, such U.S. Holder will not be subject to the special taxation rules of PFIC described above for the taxable year for which the mark-to-market election is made. A U.S.

Holder who makes such an election will include in income for the taxable year an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the shares of the Company as of the close of such tax year over such U.S. Holder’s adjusted basis in such shares. In addition, the U.S. Holder is allowed a deduction for the lesser of (i) the excess, if any, of such U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the shares over the fair market value of such shares as of the close of the tax year, or (ii) the excess, if any of (A) the mark-to-market gains for the shares in the Company included by such U.S. Holder for prior tax years, including any amount which would have been included for any prior year but for Section 1291 interest on tax deferral rules discussed above with respect to a U.S. Holder, who has not made a timely QEF election during the year in which he holds (or is deemed to have held) shares in the Company and the Company is a PFIC (“Non-Electing U.S. Holder”), over (B) the mark-to-market losses for shares that were allowed as deductions for prior tax years. A U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the shares of the Company will be increased or decreased to reflect the amount included or deducted as a result of mark-to-market election. A mark-to-market election will apply to the tax year for which the election is made and to all later tax years, unless the PFIC stock ceases to be marketable or the IRS consents to the revocation of the election.

The IRS has issued proposed regulations that, subject to certain exceptions, would treat as taxable certain transfers of PFIC stock by a Non-Electing U.S. Holder that are generally not otherwise taxed, such as gifts, exchanges pursuant to corporate reorganizations, and transfers at death. Generally, in such cases, the basis of the Company’s shares in the hands of the transferee and the basis of any property received in the exchange for those shares would be increased by the amount of gain recognized. A U.S. Holder who has made a timely QEF election (as discussed below) will not be taxed on certain transfers of PFIC stock, such as gifts, exchanges pursuant to corporate reorganization, and transfers at death. The transferee’s basis in this case will depend on the manner of transfer. The specific tax effect to the U.S. Holder and the transferee may vary based on the manner in which the shares of the Company are transferred. Each U.S. Holder should consult a tax advisor with respect to how the PFIC rules affect their tax situation.

The PFIC and QEF election rules are complex. U.S. Holders should consult a tax advisor regarding the availability and procedure for making the QEF election as well as the applicable method for recognizing gains or earnings and profits under the foregoing rules.

Controlled Foreign Corporation

If more than 50% of the voting power of all classes of stock or total value of the stock of the Company is owned, directly or indirectly, by citizens or residents of the United States, United States domestic partnerships and corporations or estates or trusts other than foreign estates or trusts, each of whom owns 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company (“United States shareholder”), the Company could be treated as a “controlled foreign corporation” under Subpart F of the Code. This classification would effect many complex results including the required inclusion by such United States shareholders in income of their pro rata shares of “Subpart F income” (as specifically defined by the Code) of the Company. Subpart F requires current inclusions in the income of United States shareholders to the extent of a controlled foreign corporation’s accumulated earnings invested in “excess passive” assets (as defined by the Code). In addition, under Section 1248 of the Code, gain from sale or exchange of stock by a holder of common shares of the Company who is or was a United States shareholder at any time during the five year period ending with the sale or exchange is treated as ordinary dividend income to the extent of earnings and profits of the Company attributable to the stock sold or exchanged. Because of the complexity of Subpart F, and because it is not clear that Subpart F would apply to the holders of common shares of the Company, a more detailed review of these rules is outside the scope of this discussion.

If the Company is both a PFIC and controlled foreign corporation, the Company will generally not be treated as a PFIC with respect to United States shareholders of the controlled foreign corporation. This rule generally will be effective for taxable years of the Company ending with or within such taxable years of United States shareholders.

The foregoing summary is based upon the sections of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), Treasury Regulations, published Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) rulings, published administrative positions of the IRS and court decisions that are currently applicable, any or all of which could be materially and adversely changed, possibly on a retroactive basis, at any time. This discussion does not consider the potential effects, both

adverse and beneficial, of any recently proposed legislation that, if enacted, could be applied, possibly on a retroactive basis, at any time. Accordingly, holders and prospective holders of shares of the Company should consult their own tax advisors about the Federal, state, local, estate, and foreign tax consequences of purchasing, owning and disposing of shares of the Company.

There is no information relating to the Company’s subsidiaries which must be provided in Canada and which is not otherwise called for by the body of generally accepted accounting principles used in preparing the financial statements.


ITEM 11.	QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company believes the disclosure requirements set out in this item of Form 20-F are sufficiently met by reproducing here the contents of Note 15 to the consolidated financial statements, “Financial Risk Management”. This content is as follows:

The Company is exposed to a variety of financial risks by virtue of its activities, including foreign currency risk, liquidity risk, equity market risk, interest rate risk and credit risk. The Company’s objective with respect to financial instrument risk management is to minimize potential adverse effects on the Company’s financial position and performance. Management is responsible to the Board of Directors for establishing controls and procedures with the objectives that financial instrument risks are mitigated to acceptable levels.

Foreign currency risk

Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair values of financial assets and liabilities denominated and for settlement in currencies other than the Canadian dollar (CAD) may fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company holds a portion of its cash in United States dollars (USD) however at February 28, 2013 the Company’s exposure to exchange rate changes for the USD was not material. To date the Company has elected not to hedge its USD exposures by futures or options strategies.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its obligations as they become due. At February 28, 2013 the Company held cash resources of $1,102,274 and had accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $562,514 and was able to meet its obligations as they became due. On a standalone basis, the Company has no regular cash flow from its operating activities. To continue to be able to meet its obligations as they become due, the Company will depend on funding from its controlling shareholder being Teranga Gold

Corporation. If such funds are not made available, the Company would be required to postpone or curtail its operating and investing activities. As set out in Note 9 and Note 19 to the accompanying financials statements and elsewhere in this 20-F filing, the Company has entered into a loan payable arrangement with a balance of funds borrowed of $1,800,000 at February 28, 2013 and $3,802,000 at July, 2013. Teranga has made arrangements to repay the loan facility. The Company manages its liquidity risk by forecasting cash flow requirements for its planned joint venture investment and corporate activities and anticipating investing and financing activities. Management and the Board of Directors are actively involved in the review, planning and approval of annual budgets and of significant expenditures and commitments, and in monitoring the climate and opportunity for equity financings.

Equity market risk

The Company is exposed to equity price risk arising from its investments, which are marketable securities classified as available-for-sale. The Company’s maximum exposure to equity price risk is the carrying value of its investments.

Interest rate risk

The Company’s exposure to interest rate risk is not material. The natures of its financial instruments do not lead to any material risk that their fair values or future cash flows will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates.

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a counter-party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company has no material counter-parties to its financial instruments with the exception of the financial institutions which hold its cash deposits. The Company manages this credit risk by investing its cash in interest-bearing accounts at a major Canadian chartered bank. The Company’s material receivables consist primarily of sales tax receivables due from the federal government of Canada. Because of these circumstances, the Company does not believe it has a material exposure to credit risk.


ITEM 12.	DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES OTHER THAN EQUITY SECURITIES

This Form 20-F is being filed as an annual report under the Exchange Act and, as such, there is no requirement to provide any information under this item.

PART II


ITEM 13.	DEFAULTS, DIVIDEND ARREARAGES AND DELINQUENCIES

There has not been a material default in the payment of principal, interest, a sinking or purchase fund installment, or any other material default not cured within thirty days, relating to indebtedness of the Company or any of its significant subsidiaries. There are no payments of dividends by the Company in arrears, nor has there been any other material delinquency relating to any class of preference shares of the Company.


ITEM 14.	MATERIAL MODIFICATIONS TO THE RIGHTS OF SECURITY HOLDERS AND USE OF PROCEEDS

Neither the Company nor, to the best of its knowledge, anyone else has modified materially or qualified the rights evidenced by any class of registered securities.


ITEM 15.	CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company is collected and communicated to management, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

At the end of the period covered by this Annual Report, the fiscal year ended February 28, 2013 an evaluation was carried out under the supervision of, and with the participation of, the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of the design and operations of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a – 15(e) and Rule 15d – 15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation, the CEO and the CFO have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were adequately designed and effective in providing reasonable assurance that material information required to be disclosed in the reports that management files and submits under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms.

It should be noted that while the Company’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer believe that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures provide a reasonable level of assurance that they are effective, they do not expect that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures or internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived or operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.

MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

Management is responsible to the Board of Directors for the preparation of financial statements of the Company. These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the IASB and necessarily include some amounts based on estimates and judgments.

The Company's management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (“ICFR”) as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. The Company’s management has employed a framework consistent with Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(c), to evaluate the Company’s ICFR described below. The Company’s ICFR is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Because of its inherent limitations, ICFR may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. The Company’s management, including the CEO and CFO, does not expect that its disclosure controls and procedures or internal controls and procedures will prevent all error and all fraud.

Management has assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financing reporting as at February 28, 2013. In making the assessment, management has used the criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) to evaluate the Company’s ICFR. Based on this assessment, and based on that evaluation have concluded that our ICFR were effective at the financial year end.

In our previous Form 20-F for the year ended February 29, 2012 the Company reported that as at its fiscal year ended February 29, 2012 its ICFR was not effective. This was based on the following material weaknesses: (i) the Company’s entity-level controls, specifically its whistleblower process, were not appropriately designed nor implemented effectively and its code of conduct was not distributed to key employees; (ii) the financial reporting period end close

process had a material weakness resulting from an aggregate of deficiencies related to the preparation, review and approval of account analyses, summaries and reconciliations.

These weaknesses were remediated in or leading up to the fourth fiscal quarter ended February 28, 2013 by the Company implementing a whistleblower policy to address how complaints can be communicated, investigated and resolved, with the ability to provide for anonymity and protection for the complainant, and by carrying out a process to distribute and require acknowledgment of its code of conduct on at least an annual basis to key employees. The second material weakness was remediated by the Company implementing specific measures within its financial reporting process requiring detailed analysis, review and assessment of the reasonableness of period-end balances and use of estimates. Detailed project assessments are conducted to ensure that those matters that may have accounting and financial disclosure impacts are identified appropriately. The Company has increased its use of contract professional accounting assistance in the 2013 fiscal year and in the fiscal year currently under way to support the remediation of this previously identified material weakness, and, in addition, has undertaken the practice of having its quarterly interim financial statements subject to a review engagement by its external auditors before they are issued, effective with the first fiscal quarter ended May 31, 2012.

The remediation of the control deficiencies described above constitutes a significant change, by way of improvements, in the Company’s ICFR.

The Company is required to provide an auditor’s attestation report on ICFR for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2013. In this Annual Report, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, Davidson & Company LLP, Chartered Accountants, in Vancouver, BC, must state its opinion as to the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2013. Davidson & Company LLP has audited the Company’s financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 20-F and has issued an attestation report on the Company’s ICFR. The Auditor’s Attestation Report is included in the Company’s financial statements, attached hereto as Exhibit page F-4.

Other than the matters described above, there were no significant changes in the Company’s ICFR or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation.


ITEM 16.	[RESERVED]


ITEM 16A.	AUDIT COMMITTEE FINANCIAL EXPERTS

Prior to the completion of the Offer on August 7, 2013, the Company had determined that Robert Sibthorpe qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” and is independent as that term is defined in the listing standards of the National Association of Securities Dealers. Mr. Sibthorpe holds a B.Sc. in geology and an MBA from the University of Toronto. He worked as a mining analyst and director of Yorkton Securities Inc. from 1986 to 1996. He was an independent mining consultant from 1996 to 1999 when he joined Canaccord Capital Corporation as a mining analyst from 1999 to 2001. Since 2001 he has worked as an independent mining consultant.


ITEM 16B.	CODE OF ETHICS

The Company has adopted a Code of Ethics applicable to its directors, principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer, controller and persons performing similar functions. The Company undertakes to provide a copy of the Company’s Code of Ethics to any person, without charge, upon request in writing to the Secretary of the Company, whose address is Suite 2000, 1055 West Hastings Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V6E 2E9.


ITEM 16C.	PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES

Tax fees were billed for tax compliance services including tax return preparation.

As required by Rule 2-01(c)(7)(i) of Regulation S-X, before the accountant was engaged by the Company to render audit or non-audit services, the Company’s audit committee approved the engagement.


ITEM 16D.	EXEMPTIONS FROM THE LISTING STANDARDS FOR AUDIT COMMITTEES

Consolidated Financial Statements

February 28, 2013

Expressed in Canadian Dollars

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

To the Shareholders of
Oromin Explorations Ltd.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Oromin Explorations Ltd., which comprise the consolidated statements of financial position as at February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012 and the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss, changes in equity and cash flows for the years ended February 28, 2013, February 29, 2012 and February 28, 2011, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

Management’s Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditors’ Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards and the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors’ judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditors consider internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.

F-2

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained in our audits is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, these consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Oromin Explorations Ltd. as at February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012 and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years ended February 28, 2013, February 29, 2012 and February 28, 2011 in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

Emphasis of Matter

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that Oromin Explorations Ltd. will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has no current source of revenue that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Other Matters

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the effectiveness of Oromin Explorations Ltd.’s internal control over financial reporting as of February 28, 2013, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), and our report dated September 13, 2013 expressed an unqualified opinion.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders of
Oromin Explorations Ltd.

We have audited Oromin Explorations Ltd.'s internal control over financial reporting as of February 28, 2013, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Oromin Explorations Ltd.'s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, Oromin Explorations Ltd. maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of February 28, 2013, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (1992) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

F-4

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated statement of financial position and the related statements of comprehensive loss, changes in equity, and cash flows of Oromin Explorations Ltd., and our report dated September 13, 2013 expressed an unqualified opinion.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the years ended February 28, 2013, February 29, 2012 and February 28, 2011

(Expressed in Canadian Dollars, unless otherwise stated)


1.	NATURE AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS

Oromin Explorations Ltd. (the “Company”) was incorporated on January 25, 1980 under the Company Act of British Columbia. The address of the Company’s registered office is 2000 - 1055 West Hastings Street, Vancouver, BC, Canada. The consolidated financial statements of the Company as at and for the year ended February 28, 2013 include the accounts of the Company, its subsidiary and the Company’s interest in a jointly controlled entity. The Company is the ultimate parent. The Company owns a 43.5% share in Oromin Joint Venture Group Ltd. ("OJVG") (Note 5). OJVG owns the exploration concession and mining license in Senegal known as the "OJVG Project", OJVG’s sole mineral property interest. In December 2011, the Company sold various subsidiaries in an arm’s length transaction and at the year ended February 28, 2013, the Company’s remaining subsidiary is Sabodala Holding Ltd. (Note 5).

The Company is in the business of exploring its resource properties and its current exploration activities are in the pre-production stage. Consequently, the Company defines itself to be in the exploration stage. The recoverability of the Company’s expenditures on resource properties is dependent upon the discovery of economically recoverable reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to complete the exploration and future profitable commercial production or proceeds from the disposition thereof.

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared with the assumption that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business rather than through a process of forced liquidation. However, the Company has sustained substantial losses from operations since inception and has no current source of revenue. Continued operations of the Company are dependent upon its ability to receive continued financial support, complete public or private equity or debt financings, or generate profits from the operation or disposition of investments in the future. These material uncertainties raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. While management of the Company has been successful in completing equity financings in various conditions in the capital markets in the past, restrictions on the Company’s ability to finance in the future could have a material adverse effect on the Company.

These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.


2.	SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


	A.	Statement of compliance and conversion to International Financing Reporting Standards

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 1, Presentation of Financial Statements (“IAS 1”) using accounting policies consistent with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”).


	B.	Basis of preparation

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for financial instruments classified as financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit and loss and available–for-sale financial assets, which are measured at fair value, as explained in the accounting policies note set out below. The comparative figures presented in the consolidated financial statements are in accordance with IFRS.

The policies applied in these consolidated financial statements are based on IFRS issued and outstanding as of the date the statements were issued.

(Expressed in Canadian Dollars, unless otherwise stated)


2.	SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)


	C.	Basis of consolidation

These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its subsidiaries and the Company’s interest in a jointly controlled entity (Note 5).

The Company has determined that its investment in OJVG, a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands and owned 43.5% by Sabodala Holding Ltd., a company wholly-owned by the Company, 43.5% by Bendon International Ltd., an arm’s length private company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands, and 13% by Badr Investment & Finance Company, an arm’s length private company based in Saudi Arabia, qualifies as a jointly controlled entity since the Company has joint control, established by contractual agreements and requires majority consent for most strategic financial and operating decisions. The Company has elected to apply the equity method to account for its interest in OJVG (Note 5). The investment is carried in the statement of financial position at cost and adjusted by post-acquisition changes in the Company’s share of the net assets of the joint venture, less any impairments.

Significant inter-company balances and transactions, including any unrealized income and expenses arising from inter-company transactions, are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements. Unrealized gains arising from transactions with equity accounted investees are eliminated against the investment to the extent of the Company's interest in the investee. Unrealized losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealized gains, but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment.


	D.	Functional currency

Items included in the financial statements of each of the entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the “functional currency”). The functional and presentation currency of the Company, its subsidiary, and the Company’s interest in a jointly controlled entity is the Canadian dollar.

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the functional currency at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are translated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at that date and non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at historical rates. Foreign currency gains and losses arising from translation are included in profit or loss.


	E.	Financial assets and liabilities

The Company classifies its financial instruments in the following categories: financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables, available for sale financial assets, financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, and other financial liabilities at amortized cost. The classification depends on the purpose for which the financial instruments were acquired. Management determines the classification of its financial instruments at initial recognition.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”)

The Company’s FVTPL comprise cash. A financial asset is classified at fair value through profit or loss if it is classified as held for trading or is designated as such upon initial recognition. Financial assets are designated as at FVTPL if the Company manages such investments and makes purchase and sale decisions based on their fair value in accordance with the Company’s risk management strategy. Attributable transaction costs are recognized in the statement of comprehensive loss when incurred. FVTPL are measured at fair value, and changes are recognized in the statement of comprehensive loss.

2.	SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)


	E.	Financial assets and liabilities (continued)

Available-for-sale financial assets

The Company’s investments in marketable securities are classified as available-for-sale financial assets. Subsequent to initial recognition, they are measured at fair value and changes therein, other than impairment losses and foreign currency differences, are recognized in other comprehensive income or loss and presented in the investment revaluation reserve in equity. Where the investment is disposed of or is determined to be impaired, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in the investment revaluation reserve is included in profit or loss.

Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They are included in current assets, except for maturities greater than 12 months after the end of the reporting period. These are classified as non-current assets. The Company’s loans and receivables comprise receivables. Loans and receivables are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment.

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss

This category comprises of derivatives, or liabilities acquired or incurred principally for the purpose of selling or repurchasing it in the near term. They are carried in the statement of financial position at fair value with the changes in fair value recognized in the statement of comprehensive loss.

Other financial liabilities at amortized cost

The Company’s trade and other payables and loan payable are classified as other financial liabilities at amortized cost and are initially measured at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost.

Transaction costs incurred upon the issuance of debt instruments or modification of a financial liability are deducted from the financial liability and are amortized using the effective interest method over the expected life of the related liability.

Impairment of financial instruments

Financial assets or a group of financial assets are assessed for indicators of impairment at each statement of financial position reporting date. Financial assets are impaired where there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows of the investment have been impacted. Objective evidence of impairment could include:

significant financial difficulty of the issuer or counterparty; or
default or delinquency in interest or principal payments; or
it becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or financial re-organization.

For loans and receivables carried at amortized cost, the amount of the impairment is the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the asset’s original effective interest rate. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced by the impairment loss through the use of a provision account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against the provision account. Changes in the carrying amount of the provision account are recognized in profit or loss.

2.	SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)


	E.	Financial assets and liabilities (continued)

With the exception of available-for-sale financial assets, if, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized, the previously recognized impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss to the extent that the carrying amount of the investment at the date the impairment is reversed does not exceed what the amortized cost would have been had the impairment not been recognized. In respect of available-for-sale financial assets, impairment losses previously recognized through profit or loss are not reversed through profit or loss. Any increase in fair value subsequent to an impairment loss is recognized directly in equity.

The Company does not have any derivative financial instruments.


	F.	Interest in joint ventures

A joint venture is a contractual arrangement whereby the Company and other parties undertake an economic activity that is subject to joint control (i.e. when the strategic, financial, and operating policy decisions relating to the activities of the joint venture require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control).

Joint venture arrangements that involve the establishment of a separate entity in which each venture has an interest are referred to as jointly controlled entities. The Company reports its interest in a jointly controlled entity (“JCE”), under the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, an interest in a JCE is initially recorded at cost and adjusted thereafter for the post-acquisition change in the Company’s share of net assets of the JCE. The statement of comprehensive income or loss reflects the Company’s share of the results of operations of the joint venture.

When the Company transacts with a JCE of the Company, unrealized profit and losses are eliminated to the extent of the Company’s interest in the joint venture.

The financial statements of the JCEs are prepared for the same reporting period as the Company. Where necessary, adjustments are made to bring the accounting policies in line with those of the Company.

Reimbursement of the joint venture operator’s costs

When the Company, acting as an operator, receives reimbursement of direct costs recharged to the joint venture, such recharges represent reimbursements of costs that the operator incurred as an agent for the joint venture and therefore have no effect on the statement of comprehensive income or loss.

In many cases, the Company also incurs certain general overhead expenses in carrying out activities on behalf of the joint venture. As these costs can often not be specifically identified, joint venture agreements allow the operator to recover the general overhead expenses incurred by passing through its overhead costs incurred in the form of a project administration cost recovery. Although the purpose of this recharge is very similar to the reimbursement of direct costs, the Company is not acting as an agent in this case. Therefore, the general overhead expenses and the overhead fee are recognized in the statement of comprehensive income or loss as an expense and income respectively.

2.	SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)


	G.	Property, plant, and equipment

Property, plant and equipment (“PPE”) are carried at cost, less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses. The cost of an item of PPE consists of the purchase price, any costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for its intended use and an initial estimate of the costs of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site on which it is located.

When parts of an item of PPE have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of PPE.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the consolidated statement of comprehensive income or loss during the financial period in which they are incurred.

Amortization is calculated at the following rates:


	Office furniture	Straight line over five years
	Computer equipment	Straight line over five years
	Leasehold improvements	Straight line over the life of lease

An item of PPE is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on disposal of the asset, determined as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset, is recognized in profit or loss in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income or loss.


	H.	Restoration and rehabilitation provision

A provision for restoration and rehabilitation is recognized when there is a present legal, statutory, contractual, or constructive obligation, as a result of exploration, development, or production activities undertaken, it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and the amount of the provision can be measured reliably. The estimated future obligations include the costs of removing facilities, abandoning sites and restoring the affected areas. The restoration and rehabilitation provision is the best estimate of the present value of the expenditure required to settle the restoration obligation at the reporting date, based on current legal requirements. Future restoration costs are reviewed at least annually and any changes in the estimate are reflected in the present value of the restoration and rehabilitation provision at each reporting date. To date the Company does not have any significant restoration obligations.

2.	SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)


	I.	Impairment

At each financial position reporting date the carrying amounts of the Company’s assets are reviewed to determine whether there is any indication that those assets are impaired. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment, if any.

The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. Fair value is determined as the amount that would be obtained from the sale of the asset in an arm’s length transaction between knowledgeable and willing parties. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount and the impairment loss is recognized in the profit or loss for the period. For the purposes of impairment testing, each resource property is considered a cash-generating unit and assets are allocated to each cash-generating unit to which the exploration activity relates. For an asset that does not generate largely independent cash inflows, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset (or cash-generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized immediately in profit or loss.


	J.	Share-based payment transactions

Share-based payments to employees are measured at the fair value of the instruments issued and each tranche is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. An individual is classified as an employee when the individual is an employee for legal or tax purposes (“direct employee”) or provides services similar to those performed by a direct employee. Share-based payments to non-employees are measured at the fair value of the goods or services received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, if it is determined the fair value of the goods or services cannot be reliably measured, and are recorded at the date the goods or services are received. Fair value of the equity instruments issued is determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The offset to the recorded cost is to share-based payments reserve. Consideration received on the exercise of stock options is recorded as share capital and the related share-based payments reserve is transferred to share capital. The Company estimates the number of equity instruments that are expected to vest and then, at each reporting date, makes adjustments to the actual number that vests unless forfeitures are due to market-based conditions.


	K.	Income taxes

Income tax expenses comprises current and deferred tax. Current and deferred tax are recognized in net income except to the extent that it relates to a business combination or items recognized directly in equity or in other comprehensive loss/income.

Current income taxes are recognized for the estimated income taxes payable or receivable on taxable income or loss for the current year and any adjustment to income taxes payable in respect of previous years. Current income taxes are determined using tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the year-end date.

(Expressed in Canadian Dollars, unless otherwise stated)


2.	SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)


	K.	Income taxes (continued)

Deferred tax is accounted for using the statement of financial position liability method, providing for temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred taxes are not recognized for temporary differences related to the initial recognition of assets or liabilities that affect neither accounting nor taxable profit nor investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint ventures to the extent it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future. The amount of deferred tax provided is based on the expected manner and expected date of realization or settlement of the carrying amount of assets and liabilities, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the statement of financial position date. A deferred tax asset is recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available against which the asset can be utilized.


	L.	Loss per share

The Company computes the dilutive effect of options, warrants and similar instruments whereby the dilutive effect on loss per share is recognized on the use of the proceeds that could be obtained upon exercise of options, warrants and similar instruments. The Company assumes that the proceeds would be used to purchase common shares at the average market price during the period. For the periods presented, this calculation proved to be anti-dilutive.

Basic and diluted loss per share is calculated using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year.


	M.	Segment Reporting

The Company operates in a single reportable operating segment – the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties in Sénégal, West Africa.


	N.	Use of Judgments and Estimates

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and further periods if the review affects both current and future periods.

Critical judgments in applying accounting policies:

The following are critical judgments that management has made in the process of applying accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements:

Determination of share-based payments:

The assumptions used in determining the fair value of share options granted include judgments in respect of length of service together with share price volatility, dividend, interest yields and exercise patterns. Also, the Company estimates the fair value using the Black-Scholes option pricing model but recognizes that other valuation models could provide differing results. Management believes that the current model provides a fair valuation measure.

	N.	Use of Judgments and Estimates (continued)

Assessment of impairment:

The Company reviews each asset (or cash generating unit) at each reporting date to determine whether there are any indicators of impairment. If any such indication exists, a formal estimate of recoverable amount is performed and an impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of an asset (or cash generating unit) is measured at the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use.


	O.	New Standards Not Yet Adopted

IFRS 7, Financial Instruments: Disclosures - In December 2011, the IASB amended IFRS 7 (Financial Instruments: Disclosures) requiring additional disclosures about the initial application of IFRS 9. This amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2015 (or otherwise when IFRS 9 is first applied). IAS 32, Financial Instruments: Presentation, was amended in December 2011 relating to application guidance on the offsetting of financial assets and financial liabilities. This standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2014. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the final standard is expected to have on its consolidated financial statements.
IFRS 9, Financial Instruments - The IASB intends to replace IAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement (“IAS 39”), in its entirety with IFRS 9, Financial Instruments (“IFRS 9”) in three main phases.
IFRS 9 will be the new standard for the financial reporting of financial instruments that is principles-based and less complex than IAS 39, and is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2015, with earlier adoption permitted. IFRS 9 requires that all financial assets be classified as subsequently measured at amortized cost or at fair value based on the Company’s business model for managing financial assets and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial assets. Financial liabilities are classified as subsequently measured at amortized cost except for financial liabilities classified as at fair value through profit or loss, financial guarantees and certain other exceptions. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the final standard is expected to have on its consolidated financial statements.
IFRS 10, Consolidated Financial Statements (“IFRS 10) – This standard establishes principles for the presentation and preparation of consolidated financial statements when an entity controls one or more other entities. This standard (i) requires a parent entity (an entity that controls one or more other entities) to present consolidated financial statements; (ii) defines the principle of control, and establishes control as the basis for consolidation; (iii) sets out how to apply the principle of control to identify whether an investor controls an investee and therefore must consolidate the investee; and (iv) sets out the accounting requirements for the preparation of consolidated financial statements. IFRS 10 supersedes IAS 27, Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements, (“IAS 27”) and SIC-12 Consolidation – Special Purpose Entities, and is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, with early application permitted. IAS 27 and IAS 28,
Investments in Associates, were revised and reissued as IAS 27, Separate Financial Statements, and IAS 28,
Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures, to align with the new consolidation guidance. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the final standard is expected to have on its consolidated financial statements.
IFRS 11, Joint Arrangements – This standard establishes the core principle that a party to a joint arrangement determines the type of joint arrangement in which it is involved by assessing its rights and obligations and accounts for those rights and obligations in accordance with that type of joint arrangement. This standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, with early application permitted. The Company has early adopted this standard as set out in Note 2(F).

	O.	New Standards Not Yet Adopted (continued)

IFRS 12, Disclosure of Involvement with Other Entities – This standard requires the disclosure of information that enables users of financial statements to evaluate the nature of, and risks associated with, its interests in other entities and the effects of those interests on its financial position, financial performance and cash flows.
This standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, with early application permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the final standard is expected to have on its consolidated financial statements.
IFRS 13, Fair Value Measurement (“IFRS 13”) – This standard defines fair value, sets out in a single IFRS a framework for measuring fair value and requires disclosures about fair value measurements. IFRS 13 applies when another IFRS requires or permits fair value measurements or disclosures about fair value measurements (and measurements, such as fair value less costs to sell, based on fair value or disclosures about those measurements), except for: share-based payment transactions within the scope of IFRS 2, Share-based Payment; leasing transactions within the scope of IAS 17, Leases; and, measurements that have some similarities to fair value but that are not fair value, such as net realizable value in IAS 2, Inventories, or value in use in IAS 36, Impairment of Assets. This standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, with early application permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the final standard is expected to have on its consolidated financial statements.

5.	INVESTMENT IN OROMIN JOINT VENTURE GROUP LTD.

In October 2004 the Company was awarded an exploration concession in Sénégal known as the Sabodala Project (since renamed the “OJVG Project”), and the Company’s rights were formalized in a Mining Convention with the government of Sénégal dated February 17, 2005 and updated thereafter. The Mining Convention granted the Company the sole right to acquire a 100% interest in this project, subject to a 10% free carried interest after repayment of capital and accrued interest thereon in favour of the government of Sénégal. The OJVG Project was subsequently transferred by the Company to Oromin Joint Venture Group Ltd. (“OJVG”), a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands and owned 43.5% by Sabodala Holding Limited (“SHL”), a company wholly-owned by the Company, 43.5% by Bendon International Ltd. (“Bendon”), an arm’s length private company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands, and 13.0% by Badr Investment & Finance Company (“Badr”), an arm’s length private company based in Saudi Arabia. The Company provides exploration and management services to OJVG for which it may recover a portion of its administration costs. In order to acquire and maintain in good standing its interest in the OJVG Project, OJVG was obliged to spend at least US$32 million on exploration of the OJVG Project through December 2009 through a series of expenditure milestones, conditions which were met on schedule. Having met these milestone conditions, on January 26, 2010 OJVG was granted a mining licence for the OJVG Project for a term of fifteen years, extendable if future conditions are met. This licence allows OJVG to carry out mining operations once feasibility is established. Under the Mining Code of Sénégal, the mining licence must be held by a Sénégalese company and accordingly on January 29, 2013 Société des Mines de Golouma S.A. (“Somigol”), an operating company under the laws of Sénégal was incorporated. The operating company is owned by OJVG as to 90% and by the Government of Sénégal as to 10%. The interest of the Government of Sénégal is fully carried, subject to the capital and accrued interest recoveries set out above, and the government is also entitled to a royalty equal to 3% of net smelter returns. Under the terms of the Mining Convention, OJVG is obliged to offer to Sénégalese nationals the right to purchase up to 25% of the shares of Somigol at a price determined by an independent valuator. As at the date these financial statements were approved for issue, this offer is in progress with an undetermined outcome.

OJVG was incorporated in August 2006 in anticipation of the completion of an initial expenditure obligation, and in December 2006, SHL, Bendon and Badr completed a shareholders agreement governing the conduct of OJVG and the OJVG Project. Under the terms of a prior agreement which was superseded by the establishment of OJVG, Bendon provided an initial US$2.8 million in exploration expenditures with the Company providing the next US$5.2 million. Following the completion of the initial US$8 million obligation in October 2006, SHL and Bendon were required to fund and have been funding further exploration and related costs of the OJVG Project equally; Badr has a free carried interest through the commencement of production, subject to repayment of capital and accrued interest thereon.

Effective March 28, 2011, the Mining Convention in respect of the OJVG Project was altered by a rider agreement. Among other matters, this agreement: 1] committed the Company to invest USD $450,000 per year for the social development of local communities until the date of first commercial production, increasing to USD $800,000 per year from the date of first commercial production; 2] established the Company’s holiday from most forms of taxation in Sénégal to be eight years from the date of issue of its mining license, which is January 26, 2010; and 3] committed the Company to contribute up to USD $150,000 per year starting from the date of first commercial production for mining-related training of Sénégalese nationals. At February 28, 2013 OJVG was in arrears in its committed social development expenditures in the amount of approximately CFA 65,000,000 or approximately US$130,000. These arrears are subject to remediation when qualified funding requests are received from the subject communities.

The Company has determined that its investment in OJVG qualifies as an interest in a jointly controlled entity under IAS 31, Interests in Joint Ventures, and has elected to apply the equity method of accounting for its interest in OJVG. For accounting purposes, no recognition of Badr's interest in the equity of OJVG will be made until the commencement of production and the repayment of capital and accrued interest to Bendon and SHL and prior to that point each of Bendon and SHL are ascribed a 50% interest in the equity of OJVG.

14.	FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED)


	(b)	Fair value of financial instruments

The carry values of receivables, trade and other payables, and loan payable approximate their fair values due to their relatively short maturity.


	(c)	Fair value hierarchy

IFRS requires disclosures about the inputs to fair value measurements, including their classification within a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to fair value measurement. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are:

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3 – Inputs that are not based on observable market data

The following tables illustrate the valuation method of the Company’s financial instruments carried at fair value as at February 28, 2013, February 29, 2012 and February 28, 2011:


At February 28, 2013		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total

15.	FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Company is exposed to a variety of financial risks by virtue of its activities, including foreign currency risk, liquidity risk, equity market risk, interest rate risk and credit risk. The Company’s objective with respect to financial risk management is to minimize potential adverse effects on the Company’s financial position and performance. Management is responsible to the Board of Directors for establishing controls and procedures with the objectives that financial risks are mitigated to acceptable levels.

(Expressed in Canadian Dollars, unless otherwise stated)


15.	FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (CONTINUED)


	(a)	Foreign currency risk

Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair values of financial assets and liabilities denominated and for settlement in currencies other than the Canadian dollar (CAD) may fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company holds a portion of its cash in United States dollars (USD), however, at February 28, 2013 the Company’s exposure to exchange rate changes for the USD was not material. To date the Company has elected not to hedge its USD exposures by futures or options strategies.


	(b)	Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its obligations as they become due. At February 28, 2013 the Company held cash resources of $1,102,274 and had trade and other payables of $562,514 and was able to meet its obligations as they became due. The loan payable is due December 27, 2013. The Company has no regular cash flow from its operating activities. To continue to be able to meet its obligations as they become due, the Company will depend on management’s ability to raise the funds required through future equity financings. If such funds cannot be raised, the Company would be required to postpone or curtail its operating and investing activities. The Company manages its liquidity risk by forecasting cash flow requirements for its planned exploration and corporate activities and anticipating investing and financing activities. Management and the Board of Directors are actively involved in the review, planning and approval of annual budgets and of significant expenditures and commitments, and in monitoring the climate and opportunity for equity financings.


	(c)	Equity market risk


	(d)	Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk mainly arises from the interest rate impact on cash because they are the only financial instrument the Company holds that earns interest based on variable market interest rates. The loan payable has fixed interest rates and is not exposed to fluctuations in interest rates; a change in interest rates would impact the fair value of the instruments, but because the loan is recorded at amortized cost there would be no impact on the financial results of the Company.


	(e)	Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a counter-party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company has no material counter-parties to its financial instruments with the exception of the financial institutions which hold its cash deposits. The Company manages this credit risk by investing its cash in interest-bearing accounts at a major Canadian chartered bank, or, to a lesser extent, at major banks in Sénégal. The Company’s material receivables consist primarily of sales tax receivables due from the federal government of Canada. Because of these circumstances, the Company does not believe it has a material exposure to credit risk.

15.	FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (CONTINUED)


	(f)	Capital Management

The capital of the Company consists of the items included in equity. The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it based on the funds required by and available to the Company. The Company’s objective for capital management is to plan for the capital required to support the Company’s ongoing acquisition and exploration of its mineral properties and to provide sufficient funds for its corporate activities.

The Company’s mineral properties are in the exploration stage. As an exploration stage company, the Company is currently unable to self-finance its operations. The Company has historically relied on equity financings to finance operations. In order to carry out the Company’s planned exploration programs and to pay for administrative costs, the Company will spend its existing working capital and raise additional funds as required. The Company uses a planning and budgeting process to manage its capital requirements.

18.	CONTINGENCY

In October 2011 the Company entered into a series of retention agreements with a number of its officers, employees and key consultants providing for the possibility of certain payments to be made to those parties upon the conclusion of a change in control transaction, as that term is normally understood in the Company’s industry. In the event of such a change in control transaction, the Company could become liable for the payment of up to a total of $2,169,100 (2012 – $2,274,000) in termination payments. Of this amount, a total of up to $1,494,700 (2012 –$1,546,500) could become payable to senior officers and directors.

19.	SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On April 24, 2013 the Company received a further loan draw of $1,200,000 and on July 19, 2013 a further loan draw of $802,000 pursuant to the loan facility described in Note 9 taking the total amount drawn against the facility to $3,802,000. Accordingly, a further 375,000 shares were released from escrow in favour of the lenders.

On August 6, 2013, pursuant to a supported bid from Teranga to acquire all of the outstanding common shares of the Company that it did not already own (the “Offer”), Teranga acquired in excess of 73% of the Company’s common shares including those previously owned by Teranga. Effective August 27, 2013 Teranga and the Company entered into a Plan of Arrangement agreement pursuant to which Teranga proposes to acquire all the remaining shares of the Company with a shareholders’ meeting called for October 2, 2013 to consider and if thought fit approve this plan.

As a consequence of the change in control of the Company set out above, the loan facility became due and payable. Teranga and the Company have agreed with the lender to pay out the principal and interest balances of the loan on or before September 30, 2013.

As a further consequence of the change in control, the liability for the payments described in Note 18 was triggered, and Teranga and the Company have agreed with the parties entitled to those payments to make the payments on or before January 10, 2014.

In relation to the acquisition transaction described above, Bendon announced on July 2, 2013 that had filed a lawsuit naming Teranga, the Company and SHL as defendants. The lawsuit seeks declaratory, injunctive and monetary relief as a result of Teranga’s Offer. The outcome of the claim is not determinable and, therefore, an estimate of the financial effect, if any, cannot be made.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

To the Shareholders of
Oromin Joint Venture Group Ltd.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Oromin Joint Venture Group Ltd., which comprise the consolidated statements of financial position as at February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012, and the consolidated statements of income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss), changes in shareholders’ deficiency and cash flows for each of the three years then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

Management’s responsibility for the consolidated financial statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditors’ responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with Canadian and United States generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.

F-36

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained in our audits is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Oromin Joint Venture Group Ltd. as at February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

Emphasis of matter

Without qualifying our opinion, we draw attention to note 1 in the consolidated financial statements which indicates that the Company has a shareholders’ deficiency of $44,287,498. This condition, along with other matters as set forth in note 1, indicates the existence of a material uncertainty that raises substantial doubt about Oromin Joint Venture Group Ltd.’s ability to continue as a going concern.

These consolidated financial statements include the results of Oromin Joint Venture Group Ltd. and its subsidiary [together the “Company”] for the three years ended February 28, 2013. The financial statements were authorized for issue in accordance with a resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company on September 13, 2013.

The Company was incorporated on August 18, 2006 under the Company Act of British Virgin Islands. The address of the Company’s registered office is Craigmuir Chambers, Road Town, Tortola, British Virgin Islands. The Company is domiciled in the British Virgin Islands. The Company holds all right, title and interest in and to the exploration concession and mining license in Sénégal known as the “OJVG Project”, the Company’s sole mineral property interest.

The Company is in the business of exploring its mineral property and its current activities are in exploration and evaluation. The recoverability of the Company’s expenditures on its mineral property is dependent upon the discovery of economically recoverable reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to complete the exploration and future profitable commercial production or proceeds from the disposition thereof.

The Company has sustained substantial losses from operations since inception, has a shareholders’ deficiency of $44,287,498 and has no current source of revenue. Continued operations of the Company are dependent upon its ability to receive continued financial support from its shareholders, complete public or private equity or debt financings, or generate profitable operations in the future. These matters may cast significant doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparation

The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards [“IFRS”] as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board [“IASB”].

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis.

February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012

Foreign currency translation

The consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is the Company’s functional currency and presentation currency.

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the functional currency at exchange rates at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are translated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at that date and non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at historical rates. Gains and losses are recorded in the statement of comprehensive loss.

Financial instruments

The Company classifies its financial instruments in the following categories: financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables, available for sale financial assets and financial liabilities at amortized cost. The classification depends on the purpose for which the financial instruments were acquired. Management determines the classification of its financial instruments at initial recognition.

Financial liabilities at amortized cost

The Company’s trade and other payables, due to related party, advances and accrued interest are classified as financial liabilities at amortized cost and are initially measured at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost.

Impairment of financial assets

significant financial difficulty of the issuer or counterparty; or
default or delinquency in interest or principal payments; or
it becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or financial re-organization.

For loans and receivables carried at amortized cost, the amount of the impairment is the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash

flows, discounted at the asset’s original effective interest rate. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced by the impairment loss through the use of a provision account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against the provision account. Changes in the carrying amount of the provision account are recognized in profit or loss.

If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized, the previously recognized impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss to the extent that the carrying amount of the investment at the date the impairment is reversed does not exceed what the amortized cost would have been had the impairment not been recognized.

Exploration and evaluation

Mineral properties

Exploration and evaluation expenditures are recognized as an exploration and evaluation asset in the year in which they are incurred where the following conditions are satisfied:

the rights to tenure of the area of interest are current; and
at least one of the following conditions is also met:

the exploration and evaluation expenditures are expected to be recouped through successful development and exploitation of the area of interest, or alternatively, by its sale; or
exploration and evaluation activities in the area of interest have not, at the reporting date, reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves, and active and significant operations in, or in relation to, the area of interest are continuing.

Exploration and evaluation assets are initially measured at cost and include acquisition of rights to explore, studies, exploratory drilling, trenching and sampling and associated activities used in exploration and evaluation activities. General and administrative costs are only included in the measurement of exploration and evaluation costs where they are related directly to the operational activities in a particular area of interest. Borrowing costs are expensed as incurred.

Exploration and evaluation assets are only carried forward to the extent they will be utilized in future production activities once evaluation of the expenditure has been undertaken in conjunction with the expected plans for the project.

Impairment of exploration and evaluation assets

Exploration and evaluation assets are assessed for impairment if [i] sufficient data exists to determine technical feasibility and commercial viability, or [ii] facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of the exploration and evaluation asset is estimated to determine the extent of the impairment loss [if any].

Restoration and rehabilitation provision

A provision for restoration and rehabilitation is recognized when there is a present legal or constructive obligation, as a result of exploration, development, or production activities undertaken, it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and the amount of the provision can be measured reliably. The estimated future obligations include the costs of removing facilities, abandoning sites and restoring the affected areas. The restoration and rehabilitation provision is the best estimate of the present value of the expenditure required to settle the restoration obligation at the reporting date, based on current legal requirements. Future restoration costs are reviewed at least annually and any changes in the estimate are reflected in the present value of the restoration and rehabilitation provision at each reporting date. To date the Company does not have any significant restoration obligations.

Segment reporting

The Company operates in a single reportable operating segment – the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties. The Company’s sole mineral property is located in the Republic of Sénégal.

Use of judgments and estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amount of income and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant areas requiring the use of management estimates relate to the determination of impairment of assets and to the restoration and rehabilitation provision. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and further periods if the review affects both current and future periods.

In particular, information about significant areas of judgment and estimation uncertainty considered by management in preparing the consolidated financial statements is described below.

Mine rehabilitation provision [note 3]

The Company assesses its mine rehabilitation provision annually. Significant estimates and assumptions are made in determining the provision for mine rehabilitation as there are numerous factors that will affect the ultimate liability payable. In the Company’s judgment, there is no significant provision required to date.

Impairment of assets [note 3]

The Company assesses the cash generating unit annually to determine whether any indication of impairment exists. Where an indicator of impairment exists, a formal estimate of the recoverable amount is made, which is considered to be the higher of the fair value less costs to sell and value in use. These assessments require the use of estimates and assumptions such as long-term commodity prices, discount rates, future capital requirements, exploration potential and operating performance. Fair value is determined as the amount that would be obtained from the sale of the asset in an arm’s length transaction between knowledgeable and willing parties. Fair value for mineral assets is generally determined as the present value of estimated future cash flows arising from the continued use of the asset, which includes estimates such as the cost of future expansion plans and eventual disposal, using assumptions that an independent market participant may take into account. Cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. Management has assessed the cash generating unit as being the individual mine site, which is the lowest level for which cash inflows are largely independent of those of other assets.

Production start date [note 3]

The Company assesses the stage of each mine under construction to determine when a mine moves into the production stage being when the mine is substantially complete and ready for its intended use. The criteria used to assess the start date are determined based on the unique nature of each mine construction project, such as the complexity of a plant and its location. The Company considers various relevant criteria to assess when the production phase is considered to commence and all related amounts are reclassified from ‘intangible exploration and evaluation assets’ to ‘producing mines’ and ‘property, plant and equipment’. Some of the criteria used will include, but are not limited to, the following:

Level of capital expenditure incurred compared to the original construction cost estimates
Completion of a reasonable period of testing of the mine plant and equipment
Ability to produce metal in saleable form [within specifications]

February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012

Ability to sustain ongoing production of metal

When a mine development/construction project moves into the production stage, the capitalization of certain mine development/construction costs ceases and costs are either regarded as forming part of the cost of inventory or expensed, except for costs that qualify for capitalization relating to mining asset additions or improvements, underground mine development or mineable reserve development. It is also at this point that depreciation/ amortization commences.

New standards not yet adopted

IAS 1, Presentation of financial statements – The IASB has amended the disclosure requirements of items presented in other comprehensive income [“OCI”], including a requirement to separate items presented in OCI into two groups based on whether or not they may be recycled to profit or loss in the future. This amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2012. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the final standard is expected to have on its consolidated financial statements.
IFRS 7, Financial Instruments: Disclosures - In December 2011, the IASB amended IFRS 7 [Financial Instruments: Disclosures] requiring additional disclosures about the initial application of IFRS 9. This amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2015 [or otherwise when IFRS 9 is first applied]. IAS 32, Financial Instruments: Presentation, was amended in December 2011 relating to application guidance on the offsetting of financial assets and financial liabilities. This standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2014. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the final standard is expected to have on its consolidated financial statements.
IFRS 9, Financial Instruments - The IASB intends to replace IAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement [“IAS 39”], in its entirety with IFRS 9, Financial Instruments [“IFRS 9”] in three main phases. IFRS 9 will be the new standard for the financial reporting of financial instruments that is principles-based and less complex than IAS 39, and is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2015, with earlier adoption permitted. IFRS 9 requires that all financial assets be classified as subsequently measured at amortized cost or at fair value based on the Company’s business model for managing financial assets and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial assets. Financial liabilities are classified as subsequently measured at amortized cost except for financial liabilities classified as at fair value through profit or loss, financial guarantees and certain other exceptions. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the final standard is expected to have on its consolidated financial statements.

3. INTANGIBLE EXPLORATION AND EVALUATION ASSETS

In October 2004, one of the founding shareholders of the Company, Oromin Explorations Ltd. [“Oromin”] was awarded an exploration concession in Sénégal known as the Sabodala Project [since renamed the “OJVG Project”], and Oromin’s rights were formalized in a Mining Convention with the government of Sénégal dated February 17, 2005 and updated thereafter. The Mining Convention granted Oromin the sole right to acquire a 100% interest in this project, subject to a 10% free carried interest, after repayment of capital and accrued interest thereon, held in favour of the government of Sénégal.

The OJVG Project was subsequently transferred by Oromin to the Company, which is owned 43.5% by Sabodala Holding Limited [“SHL”], a company wholly owned by Oromin, 43.5% by Bendon International Ltd. [“Bendon”], a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands, and 13.0% by Badr Investment & Finance Company [“Badr”], a company based in Saudi Arabia. Oromin is the operator of the OJVG Project and recovers its related administration costs from the Company.

In order to acquire and maintain in good standing its interest in the OJVG Project, Oromin or the Company were obliged to spend at least US$32 million on exploration of the OJVG Project through December 2009 through a series of expenditure milestones, conditions which were met on schedule. Having met these milestone conditions, on January 26, 2010 the Company was granted a renewable exploitation license for the OJVG Project for a term of fifteen years. This license allows the Company to carry out mining operations once feasibility is established.

Under the Mining Code of Sénégal, the mining license must be held by a Sénégalese company and accordingly on January 29, 2013 Société des Mines de Golouma S.A. [“Somigol”], an operating company under the laws of Sénégal, was incorporated. Somigol is owned by the Company as to 90% and by the Government of Sénégal as to 10%. The interest of the Government of Sénégal is fully carried, subject to the capital and accrued interest recoveries set out above, and the government is also entitled to a royalty equal to 3% of net smelter returns. Under the terms of the Mining Convention, the Company is obliged to offer to Sénégalese nationals the right to purchase 25% of such operating company at a price determined by an

independent valuator. As at the date these consolidated financial statements were approved for issue, this offer is in progress with an undetermined outcome. As at February 28, 2013 Somigol was inactive with no transactions other than the receipt of an immaterial amount of initial share capital.

Effective March 28, 2011, the Mining Convention in respect of the OJVG Project was altered by a rider agreement. Among other matters, this agreement [i] committed the Company to invest US$450,000 per year for the social development of local communities until the date of first commercial production, increasing to US$800,000 per year from the date of first commercial production; [ii] established the Company’s holiday from most forms of taxation in Sénégal to be eight years from the date of issue of its mining license, which is January 26, 2010; and [iii] committed the Company to contribute up to US$150,000 per year starting from the date of first commercial production for mining-related training of Sénégalese nationals. As at February 28, 2013 the Company was in arrears towards its cumulative contributions for the social development of local communities in the amount of approximately US$130,000.

The Company was incorporated in August 2006 in anticipation of the completion of an initial expenditure obligation, and in December 2006, SHL, Bendon and Badr completed a shareholders’ agreement [the “Company’s Shareholder Agreement”] governing the conduct of the Company and the OJVG Project. Under the terms of a prior agreement which was superseded by the establishment of the Company, Bendon provided an initial US$2.8 million in exploration expenditures with Oromin providing the next US$5.2 million. Following the completion of the initial US$8 million obligation in October 2006, SHL and Bendon were required to fund and have been funding further exploration and related costs of the OJVG Project equally; Badr has a free carried interest through the commencement of production, subject to repayment of capital and accrued interest thereon.

The Company became a stand alone incorporated entity effective March 1, 2007. Prior to that date its exploration costs were incurred as an unincorporated joint venture among Oromin, Bendon and Badr. That joint venture commenced its activities effective December 1, 2004 being the beginning of the first fiscal quarter of the joint venture following the notification of the award of the mining concession as set out above.

During the period April 2004 to November 2004, the shareholders incurred costs of $498,663 which have not been included as they were incurred prior to any legal tenure being established. Of this amount, $269,717 was paid by Oromin and $228,946 by Bendon.

These costs have been capitalized as intangible exploration and evaluation assets on the Company’s consolidated statement of financial position.

Included in trade and other payables and due to related party at February 28, 2013 is $221,402 [February 29, 2012 - $119,265] due to Oromin in its capacity as Operator of the joint venture or to the senior officers described above. These transactions are in the normal course of operations and are measured at the amount of consideration established and agreed to by the related parties.

7. INCOME TAXES

The Company is incorporated in the British Virgin Islands, a jurisdiction which does not levy a corporate income tax. To date, the Company has conducted its operations in Sénégal as a branch.

Pursuant to the Mining Code, OJVG’s right title and interest in and to the OJVG Project must, in due course and prior to the commencement of commercial production, be transferred to Somigol, the entity described in note 3. This conveyance to Somigol is in process.

Pursuant to the Mining Convention, the OJVG Project is the beneficiary of an eight-year tax holiday commencing January 26, 2010, encompassing, among other matters, income taxation. This tax holiday shall pass through to Somigol upon the transfer to it of the rights in and to the project.

Pursuant to a further rider agreement dated September 23, 2011, if the Company has not commenced significant development activities by September 23, 2012 the Minister of Mines reserves the right to cancel any or all of the tax holiday provisions set out above. The Company believes it has met this condition.

The rate of corporate tax in Sénégal applicable to the Company’s operation of its project is 25%.

8. SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company has one operating segment, being the exploration of resource properties. The Company’s exploration and evaluation activities are conducted entirely in the Republic of Sénégal.

9. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

The Company regards its advances from shareholders as the equivalent of capital for purposes of this policy. The Company is completely dependent on its shareholders to continue to support its operations while in the stage of its development prior to the commencement of commercial production. The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it based on the funds required by and available to the Company. The Company’s objective for capital management is to plan for the capital required to support the Company’s tenure of its mineral property.

The Company’s mineral property is in the exploration and evaluation stage, as no production decision leading to a development stage has been made. As an exploration stage company, the Company is currently unable to self-finance its operations. The Company has historically relied on loans advanced by its shareholders to finance operations. In order to carry out the Company’s planned exploration programs and to pay for administrative costs, the Company will spend its existing working capital and seek to raise additional funds as required. The Company uses a planning and budgeting process to manage its capital requirements.

10. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, trade and other payables, due to related party, accrued interest and advances. The carrying values of these financial instruments approximate their fair values due to their immediate or short-term maturity or, in the case of advances, due to the market interest rate.

The Company is exposed to a variety of financial risks by virtue of its activities, including foreign currency risk, liquidity risk, interest rate risk and credit risk. The Company’s objective with respect to financial instrument risk management is to minimize potential adverse effects on the Company’s financial position and performance. Management is responsible to the Board of Directors for establishing controls and procedures with the objectives that financial instrument risks are mitigated to acceptable levels.

Foreign currency risk

Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair values of financial assets and liabilities denominated and for settlement in currencies other than the Canadian dollar [CAD] may fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company holds a portion of its cash, trade and other payables, due to related party, accrued interest and advances in United States dollars [USD] or CFA francs – a currency which has a fixed exchange rate with the Euro. The Company is exposed to material risk associated with exchange rate changes for the USD, This arises principally from the denomination of its shareholder advances and accrued interest balances in USD, and the account “foreign exchange loss” in its consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss has been significant in each of the two financial years reported on. Attributable solely to the shareholder advances and accrued interest balances, a one percent change in the value of the USD versus the CAD would have had an impact on the reported foreign exchange gain or loss of $2,006,630 [February 29, 2012 - $1,798,933]. At February 28, 2013, the Company’s exposure to exchange rate risk attributable to other assets and liabilities held in USD was not material. At February 28, 2013, the Company’s exposure to exchange rate changes for the CFA franc was not material. To date, the Company has elected not to hedge its foreign currency exposures by futures or options strategies.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its obligations as they become due. At February 28, 2013, the Company held cash resources of $693,316 and had current liabilities of $1,627,225.

F-55

Oromin Joint Venture Group Ltd.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

[Expressed in Canadian dollars]

February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012

The Company has no regular cash flow from its operating activities. To continue to be able to meet its obligations, the Company will depend on further advances from its shareholders. If such advances are not forthcoming, the Company would be required to postpone or curtail its operating and investing activities. The Company manages its liquidity risk by forecasting cash flow requirements for its planned exploration activities and anticipating the provision of advances from shareholders. Management and the shareholders are actively involved in the review, planning and approval of annual budgets and of significant expenditures and commitments.

Interest rate risk

The Company’s advances from shareholders bear interest at the prime rate in effect at JP Morgan Chase [“JPMC”] Bank in New York City from time to time plus five percent. The Company recorded interest expense of $12,384,120 in 2013 [2012 - $11,347,750] based on the rate of 8.25 percent, a rate which has not changed since December 2008. The Company is exposed to a material increase in interest expense should the JPMC prime increase. Had the JPMC prime been one percent greater during 2013 and 2012, the Company’s interest expense would have been $13,889,207 and $12,723,235, respectively.

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a counter-party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company has no material counter-parties to its financial instruments with the exception of the financial institutions which hold its cash deposits. The Company manages this credit risk by investing its cash in interest-bearing accounts at a major Canadian chartered bank, and, to a lesser extent, at a major bank in Sénégal. Because of these circumstances, the Company does not believe it has a material exposure to credit risk.

11. COMMITMENTS

Pursuant to the Mining Convention, the Company is committed to pay to agencies of the Government of Sénégal a yearly 3 percent gold royalty based on the value at the mine site of gold mined and produced, and to make the annual payments of US$450,000 per year for the social development of local communities set out in note 3.

SUPPORT AGREEMENT

This Agreement dated July 22, 2013, between Teranga Gold Corporation (“Teranga”), a corporation incorporated under the laws of Canada, and Oromin Explorations Ltd. (“Oromin”), a corporation existing under the laws of British Columbia.

RECITALS:

	(a)	The boards of directors of each of Oromin and Teranga wish to encourage a strategic business combination between Oromin and Teranga in light of the existing offer by Teranga dated June 19, 2013 (the “Offer”, which includes the Compulsory Acquisition or Subsequent Acquisition Transaction (each as defined in the Offer), as each has been and may be further amended) to acquire all of the outstanding Oromin Shares not already held by Teranga;

	(b)	The boards of directors of each of Teranga and Oromin believe that it is in the respective best interests of Teranga and Oromin and their respective shareholders that Teranga proceed with the Offer as varied on the terms set forth herein;

	(c)	Teranga has entered into lock-up agreements with each of Oromin’s directors and officers; and

	(d)	Oromin has received an oral fairness opinion from RBC Capital Markets to the effect that as of the date of such opinion, the consideration to be received pursuant to the Varied Offer is fair, from a financial point of view, to Oromin Shareholders, other than Teranga and its affiliates.

In consideration of the foregoing and the mutual agreements contained herein (the receipt and adequacy of which are acknowledged), the Parties agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1
THE VARIED OFFER


Section 1.2	Defined Terms

Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall, unless the context requires otherwise, have the meanings set forth in Schedule “A” or otherwise as set forth in the Offer Circular (as defined in Schedule “A”).


Section 1.3	The Varied Offer

(a)

Teranga shall contemporaneously with the execution of this Agreement vary and extend the Offer by giving written notice (or other communication subsequently confirmed in writing) of the extension and variation to the Depositary at its principal office in Toronto, Ontario to provide for the terms and conditions as contemplated herein (as varied and extended as

E-562

- 2 -

contemplated herein, the “Varied Offer”) and shall forthwith publicly announce such variation and extension. The consideration offered under the Varied Offer shall be 0.60 of a Teranga Share for each Oromin Share and the Offer shall be subject only to the conditions set out in Schedule D. The term “Varied Offer” shall include any further variations to, or extensions of, the Varied Offer made in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

	(b)	The Offer shall be extended in accordance with Applicable Securities Laws and the Varied Offer shall expire not earlier than 9:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on August 6, 2013 (such date, as the same may be extended in accordance with this Agreement, is referred to herein as the “Expiry Date” and such time on such date, as the same may be extended in accordance with this Agreement, is referred to herein as the “Expiry Time”). Teranga shall extend the Expiry Time in order to contest or appeal any injunction or order made by a Governmental Entity preventing the take-up of and/or payment for the Oromin Shares tendered to the Varied Offer or to seek any regulatory waiver, consent or approval which is necessary to permit Teranga to take up and pay for Oromin Shares tendered to the Varied Offer, provided that the Expiry Time may not be extended past the Outside Date. Teranga shall not terminate or withdraw the Varied Offer prior to any scheduled Expiry Time without the prior written consent of Oromin, except if this Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms.

	(c)	Teranga shall mail the notice of extension and variation in respect of the variation and extension of the Offer as contemplated herein (the “Notice of Extension and Variation”) in accordance with the Securities Act (British Columbia) and the regulations thereunder and all other applicable Canadian securities Laws (collectively, “Applicable Securities Laws”) to each registered holder of Oromin Shares as soon as reasonably practicable and, in any event, not later than 11:59 p.m.(Toronto time) on July 26, 2013. For greater certainty, Teranga shall determine in its sole discretion in which states in the United States to seek registration of the Varied Offer with the applicable state regulatory agency or to seek exemption from such registration requirements for the Varied Offer, in each case where permitted by applicable law.

(d)

Prior to the printing of the Notice of Extension and Variation and during the course of its preparation, Teranga shall provide Oromin and its counsel with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on it, recognizing that whether or not such comments are appropriate will be determined by Teranga, acting reasonably. Oromin shall provide to Teranga all information regarding Oromin that is required for the preparation of the Notice of Extension and Variation. Oromin represents, warrants and covenants to Teranga that such information will be true, complete and correct in all material respects as at the date of the Notice of Extension and Variation and

E-563

- 3 -

will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

	(e)	Teranga shall use all reasonable efforts to consummate the Varied Offer, subject to the terms and conditions hereof and thereof. Provided all of the conditions to the Varied Offer set out in Schedule D shall have been satisfied or waived, Teranga shall take up and pay for all of the Oromin Shares tendered under the Varied Offer promptly and, in any event, not later than three Business Days following the time at which Teranga becomes entitled to take up such Oromin Shares under the Varied Offer pursuant to Applicable Securities Law.

	(f)	Teranga and Oromin will make all required filings in Canada under Applicable Securities Laws with respect to the Varied Offer (together with all amendments, supplements and exhibits as may be required thereunder) and all such subsequent filings as may be required under Applicable Securities Laws. Each of Teranga and Oromin agrees promptly to correct any information provided by it if and to the extent that such information shall have become false or misleading in any material respect and take such steps as are required to make amended filings to the extent required under the Applicable Securities Laws.

	(g)	It is understood and agreed that Teranga may, in its sole discretion, modify or waive any term or condition of the Varied Offer; provided that Teranga shall not, without the prior written consent of Oromin, (i) increase, decrease or waive the Minimum Tender Condition unless it has complied with section 1.3 (h), (ii) impose additional conditions to the Varied Offer, (iii) decrease the consideration per Oromin Share, (iv)decrease the number of Oromin Shares in respect of which the Offer is made, (v) change the form of consideration payable under the Varied Offer (other than to increase the total consideration per Oromin Share and/or add additional consideration or consideration alternatives) or (vi) otherwise vary the Varied Offer or any terms or conditions thereof (which for greater certainty does not include a waiver of a condition) in a manner which is adverse to the Shareholders.

	(h)	Teranga may in its discretion waive the Minimum Tender Condition only if there shall have been validly deposited pursuant to the Varied Offer and not withdrawn at the Expiry Time that number of Oromin Shares which, when added to the number of Oromin Shares currently owned by Teranga, constitutes at least 50% of the Oromin Shares outstanding calculated on non-diluted basis. Subject to Applicable Securities Laws, in the event that Teranga waives the Minimum Tender Condition in accordance with this section and takes up validly deposited Oromin Shares under the Varied Offer, Teranga

E-564

- 4 -

will, on the day such Oromin shares are taken up, issue a news release setting out the number of Oromin Shares deposited and taken up and will extend the Varied Offer until the earlier of (i) the date upon which at least 66^2/3% of the Oromin Shares outstanding calculated on a non-diluted basis have been validly deposited pursuant to the Varied Offer; and (ii) the expiry of at least two extensions of 10 days each in accordance with Applicable Securities Laws.


Section 1.4	Oromin Approval of the Varied Offer

Oromin represents that the Oromin Board has determined unanimously that, as at the date hereof:

	(a)	the Varied Offer is fair to the Oromin Shareholders (other than to Teranga) and is in the best interests of Oromin; and

	(b)	it will unanimously recommend that the Oromin Shareholders (other than Teranga) accept the Varied Offer.


Section 1.5	Oromin Co-Operation

	(a)	Oromin covenants to co-operate with Teranga and use it reasonable efforts to cause the directors and officers of Oromin and its subsidiaries to take all reasonable action to support the Varied Offer and any Subsequent Acquisition Transaction, including without limitation: (i) assisting with obtaining third party consents and regulatory approvals; including Teranga seeking a waiver from the Republic of Senegal with respect to the offer of up to a 25% interest in Societe des Mines de Golouma S.A. to Senegalese nationals (and / or indirectly the OJVG Golouma Gold Project); and (ii) supporting Teranga in respect of the Current Bendon Litigation by including a statement in the press release announcing the execution of this Agreement, such statement to be satisfactory to Oromin, acting reasonably. Nothing in this Section 1.5 shall require Oromin to support Teranga to an extent greater than stated in this Section 1.5 nor shall Oromin be required to support Teranga in respect of any action, suit or other proceeding involving Bendon other than the Current Bendon Litigation.

	(b)	Oromin acknowledges that promptly following the time at which Teranga takes up Oromin Shares under the Offer that represent at least a majority of the then outstanding Oromin Shares (including the Oromin Shares currently held by Teranga), and from time to time thereafter, calculated on a non- diluted basis, Teranga shall be entitled to designate all the members of the Oromin Board and any committees thereof, in all cases subject to applicable Law. Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section, Oromin shall cooperate with Teranga to enable the Teranga designees to be elected or appointed to the Oromin Board and to the boards of directors of all

E-565

subsidiaries of Oromin, and any committees thereof, and to constitute the Oromin Board and to the boards of directors of all of its subsidiaries, including, at the request of the Teranga, by using its commercially reasonable efforts to secure the resignations of all current directors of Oromin and of all of its subsidiaries.

Oromin will assist Teranga in the implementation of any Compulsory Acquisition or other Subsequent Acquisition Transaction. The provisions of this Section 1.6 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.


Section 1.7	Shareholders’ and Other List

Oromin will promptly deliver such lists of shareholders or other securityholders of Oromin as may be reasonably requested by Teranga from time to time.


Section 1.8	Shareholder Rights Plan

Oromin represents that the Oromin Board will waive the application of the Shareholder Rights Plan to the Varied Offer, and any other actions taken by Oromin in furtherance of the Varied Offer, effective as at such date and time as Teranga may direct in writing, and Oromin agrees to take any further action required to cause the Shareholder Rights Plan to be inapplicable to the Varied Offer. Oromin will not adopt or approve any other shareholder rights plan.


Section 1.9	Oromin Stock Options

Oromin has 13,186,000 outstanding Oromin Options under the Incentive Plan. Prior to the Expiry Time, Teranga will offer to enter in an agreement with each of the holders of the Oromin Options pursuant to which their Oromin Options would be cancelled and exchanged for Replacement Teranga Options conditional on Teranga taking up Oromin Shares under the Offer.

	(a)	On and after the date of this Agreement, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, Oromin and its subsidiaries shall not, and Oromin shall cause Sabodala not to vote in favour of a resolution authorizing OJVG to , directly or indirectly, through any officer, director, employee, advisor, representative, agent or otherwise:

	(i)	make, solicit, assist, initiate, knowingly encourage or otherwise facilitate any inquiries, proposals or offers from any other person (including any of its officers or employees) relating to any Acquisition Proposal, or furnish to any person any information with respect to, or otherwise cooperate in any way with, or assist or participate in, facilitate or knowingly encourage, any effort or attempt by any other person to do or seek to do any of the foregoing;

	(ii)	engage in any discussions or negotiations regarding, or provide any information with respect to, or otherwise co-operate in any way with, or assist or participate in, facilitate or knowingly encourage, any effort or attempt by any other person to make or complete any Acquisition Proposal; provided that, for greater certainty, Oromin may request any person making an unsolicited Acquisition Proposal to clarify the terms of the Acquisition Proposal and may also advise any person making an unsolicited Acquisition Proposal that such Acquisition Proposal does not constitute a Superior Proposal when the Oromin Board has so determined;

provided, however, that nothing contained in this Section 2.2(a) or any other provision of this Agreement shall prevent the Oromin Board from,

E-574

- 14 -

and the Oromin Board shall be permitted to, engage in discussions or negotiations with, or respond to enquiries from any Person that has made a bona fide unsolicited written Acquisition Proposal that the Oromin Board has determined constitutes or could reasonably be expected to result in a Superior Proposal, or provide information pursuant to Section 2.2(d) to any Person where the requirements of that Section are met.

	(b)	Oromin shall immediately cease and cause to be terminated any existing discussions or negotiations with any Person (other than Teranga) with respect to any potential Acquisition Proposal and, in connection therewith, Oromin will discontinue access to any of its confidential information (and not establish or allow access to any of its confidential information or establish and consent to access to any of OJVG’s confidential information, or any data room, virtual or otherwise) and shall as soon as possible request the return or destruction of all confidential information provided in connection therewith to the extent such information has not already been returned or destroyed. Oromin agrees not to, and shall cause Sabodala not to vote in favour of a resolution authorizing OJVG to, release any third party from any confidentiality, non-solicitation or standstill agreement to which such third party is a party, or terminate, modify, amend or waive the terms thereof and Oromin undertakes , to enforce, or cause its subsidiaries to enforce all standstill, non-disclosure, non-disturbance, non-solicitation and similar covenants that it or any of its subsidiaries or OJVG have entered into prior to the date hereof or enter into after the date hereof, provided that Teranga acknowledges that Oromin has been operating a joint dataroom with Bendon in respect of OJVG and further acknowledges that Bendon and Badr may be continuing to solicit Acquisition Proposals for OJVG.

Such notice to Teranga shall be made, from time to time, first immediately orally and then promptly (and in any event within 24 hours) in writing and shall indicate, in each case to the extent Oromin has such information, the identity of the

E-575

- 15 -

person making such proposal, inquiry or contact, all material terms thereof and such other details of the proposal, inquiry or contact known to Oromin, and shall include copies of any such proposal, inquiry, offer or request or any amendment to any of the foregoing. Oromin shall keep Teranga promptly and fully informed of the status, including any change to the material terms, of any such Acquisition Proposal, offer, inquiry or request and will respond promptly to all inquiries by Teranga with respect thereto.

	(d)	If the Oromin Board or board of OJVG receives a request for material non- public information from a Person who proposes to Oromin or OJVG an unsolicited bona fide written Acquisition Proposal and the Oromin Board determines that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes or could reasonably be expected to result in a Superior Proposal, then, and only in such case, Oromin may, and may permit Sabodala to consent to OJVG providing such Person with access to information regarding Oromin and its subsidiaries or OJVG, as the case may be, subject to the execution of a confidentiality agreement which is customary in such situations and which, in any event and taken as a whole, is no less favourable to Oromin or OJVG than the Confidentiality Agreement and which shall contain customary standstill and non-solicitation provisions; provided that Oromin sends a copy of any such confidentiality and standstill agreement to Teranga promptly upon its execution and Teranga is promptly provided with a list of, and, at the request of Teranga, copies of, the information provided to such person and immediately provided with access to similar information to which such person was provided.

	(e)	Oromin agrees that it and its subsidiaries will not, and Oromin shall cause Sabodala to vote against any resolution, decision or action to, accept, approve or enter into any agreement (“Proposed Agreement”), other than a confidentiality agreement as contemplated by Subsection Section 2.2(d), with any person providing for or to facilitate any Acquisition Proposal unless:

	(i)	the Oromin Board determines that the Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal;

	(ii)	Teranga has not taken up any Oromin Shares under the Offer;

	(iii)	Oromin has complied with Section 2.2(a) through Section 2.2(d) inclusive in all material respects;

	(iv)	Oromin has provided Teranga with a notice in writing that there is a Superior Proposal together with all documentation related to and detailing the Superior Proposal, including a copy of any Proposed Agreement relating to such Superior Proposal, and a written notice from the Oromin Board regarding the value or range of values in financial terms that the Oromin Board has in consultation with its financial advisors determined should be ascribed to any non-cash

E-576

- 16 -

consideration offered under the Superior Proposal, such documents to be so provided to Teranga not less than five Business Days prior to the proposed acceptance, approval, recommendation or execution of the Proposed Agreement by Oromin;

	(v)	Five Business Days shall have elapsed from the date Teranga received the notice and documentation referred to in Section 2.2(e)(iv) from Oromin and, if Teranga has proposed to amend the terms of the Varied Offer and/or this Agreement in accordance with Section 2.2(f), the Oromin Board shall have determined, in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel, that the Acquisition Proposal, as applicable, is a Superior Proposal compared to the proposed amendment to the terms of the Varied Offer by Teranga;

	(vi)	Oromin concurrently terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(e); and

	(vii)	Oromin has previously, or concurrently will have, paid to Teranga the fees payable in Section 4.1(3);

and Oromin further agrees that it will not withdraw, modify or qualify (or propose to withdraw, modify or qualify) in any manner adverse to Teranga the approval or recommendation of the Varied Offer, nor accept, approve or recommend, and shall cause Sabodala to vote against any resolution, decision or action to accept or approve, any Acquisition Proposal unless the requirements of this Section Section 2.2(e)(i) through Section 2.2(e)(vii) have been satisfied.

	(f)	Oromin acknowledges and agrees that, during the five Business Day periods referred to in Section 2.2(e)(v) or such longer period as Oromin may approve for such purpose, Teranga shall have the opportunity, but not the obligation, to propose to amend the terms of the Varied Offer and Oromin shall co- operate with Teranga with respect thereto, including negotiating in good faith with Teranga to enable Teranga to make such adjustments to the terms and conditions of the Varied Offer as Oromin deems appropriate and as would enable Oromin to proceed with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Varied Offer and any related transactions on such adjusted terms. The Oromin Board will review any proposal by Teranga to amend the terms of the Varied Offer in order to determine, in good faith in the exercise of its fiduciary duties, whether Teranga’s proposal to amend the Varied Offer would result in the Acquisition Proposal, as applicable, not being a Superior Proposal compared to the proposed amendment to the terms of the Varied Offer.

	(g)	The Oromin Board shall promptly reaffirm its recommendation of the Varied

E-577

- 17 -

Offer by press release after: (x) any Acquisition Proposal which the Oromin Board determines not to be a Superior Proposal is publicly announced or made; or (y) the Oromin Board determines that a proposed amendment to the terms of the Varied Offer would result in an Acquisition Proposal, which has been publicly announced or made, not being a Superior Proposal, and Teranga has so amended the terms of the Varied Offer. Wherever practical, Teranga and its counsel shall be given a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the form and content of any such press release, recognizing that whether or not such comments are appropriate will be determined by Oromin, acting reasonably.

	(h)	Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent the Oromin Board from responding through a directors’ circular or otherwise as required by applicable Securities Laws to an Acquisition Proposal that it determines is not a Superior Proposal, or from withdrawing, modifying or changing its recommendation as a result of Teranga having suffered a Teranga Material Adverse Effect. Further, nothing in this Agreement shall prevent the Oromin Board from making any disclosure to the securityholders of Oromin if the Oromin Board, acting in good faith and upon the advice of its legal advisors, shall have first determined that the failure to make such disclosure would be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Oromin Board or such disclosure is otherwise required under applicable Law, provided, however, that, notwithstanding that the Oromin Board shall be permitted to make such disclosure, the Oromin Board shall not be permitted to make an Oromin Change in Recommendation, other than as permitted by Section 2.2(e) or the first sentence of this paragraph. Wherever practical, Teranga and its counsel shall be given a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the form and content of any such disclosure, recognizing that whether or not such comments are appropriate will be determined by Oromin, acting reasonably.

	(i)	Oromin acknowledges and agrees that each successive material modification of any Acquisition Proposal shall constitute a new Acquisition Proposal for the purposes of this Section 2.2.

	(j)	Oromin shall ensure that its officers, directors and employees and those of its subsidiaries and any investment bankers or other advisors or representatives retained by Oromin or its subsidiaries in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are aware of the provisions of this Section, and Oromin shall be responsible for any breach of this Section 2.2 by such persons.


Section 2.3	Access to Information

Subject to the Confidentiality Agreement, and subject to applicable competition and anti-trust laws, Oromin shall (and shall cause each of its subsidiaries to) afford Teranga's and its bankers’ officers, employees, counsel, accountants and other authorized

E-578

- 18 -

representatives and advisors (“Representatives”) reasonable access during normal business hours from the date hereof and until the expiration of this Agreement, to its properties, books, contracts and records (as well as to its management personnel to permit the planning and implementation of the integration of Teranga and Oromin and its subsidiaries), and, during such period, Oromin shall (and shall cause each of its subsidiaries to) furnish promptly to Teranga all information concerning their respective businesses, properties and personnel as Teranga may reasonably request. Nothing in the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement shall require Oromin to disclose information which it is prohibited from disclosing pursuant to a written confidentiality agreement or confidentiality provision of an agreement with a third party or to provide Teranga with access to any property where a Party is contractually or legally prohibited from doing so.


Section 2.4	Other Restructuring Assistance

Oromin shall use, and shall cause its subsidiaries, as the case may be, to take, or refrain from taking, such action as may be reasonably requested by Teranga, including without limitation to meet regulatory or tax planning or lender or internal reorganization or planning requirements, provided that any such planning or reorganization transaction shall not be adverse to Oromin or to Oromin Shareholders and further provided that Teranga shall pay all reasonable costs, expenses and liabilities, including any liability for taxes of Oromin or Oromin Shareholders that may arise, relating to such planning or reorganization transaction. If the Varied Offer is not completed, Teranga shall reimburse Oromin for any loss or damage, including for taxes, incurred directly or indirectly as a result of the planning or reorganization transaction and shall bear any reasonable cost associated with the return of the corporate structure, capital structure, business operations and assets to their state before the restructuring.

Any waiver of a condition or the withdrawal of the Varied Offer will be effective upon written notice or other communication confirmed in writing by Teranga to that effect to the Depositary at its principal office in Toronto, Ontario.

Any notice of waiver will be deemed to have been given and to be effective on the day on which it is delivered or otherwise communicated to the Depositary at its principal office in Toronto, Ontario. In the event of any waiver, all Deposited Oromin Shares not taken up or withdrawn will remain subject to the Varied Offer and may be accepted for purchase by Teranga in accordance with the terms of the Varied Offer. If the Varied Offer is withdrawn, Teranga will not be obligated to take up or pay for any Deposited Oromin Shares and the Depositary will promptly return all Deposited Oromin Shares in accordance with Section 8 of the Offer to Purchase, “Return of Deposited Oromin Shares”.

OROMIN EXPLORATIONS LTD.

CODE OF BUSINESS CONDUCT AND ETHICS

[updated February 2013]

Objective & Scope

This Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (the “Code”) embodies the commitment of Oromin Explorations Ltd. and its subsidiaries (collectively, in this Code, the “Company”), and is intended to document the principles of conduct and ethics to be followed by the directors, officers, employees and Designated Consultants of the Company (collectively, in this Code, the “Employees”). Its purpose is to:

1.	promote integrity and deter wrongdoing;

2.	promote honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest;

3.	promote avoidance of conflicts of interest, including disclosure to an appropriate person of any material transaction or relationship that reasonably could be expected to give rise to such a conflict;

4.	promote full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that the Company files with, or submits to, securities regulatory authorities and in other public communications made by the Company;

5.	promote compliance with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations;

6.	promote and provide a mechanism for the prompt internal reporting to an appropriate person of departures from this Code;

7.	promote accountability for adherence to this Code;

8.	provide guidance to Employees to help them recognize and deal with ethical issues; and

9.	help foster a culture of integrity, honesty and accountability throughout the Company.

The Company will expect all Employees to comply and act in accordance, at all times, with the principles stated above and the more detailed provisions following below. Departures from this Code by an Employee will be grounds for disciplinary action up to and including, without limitation, termination of employment.

As a prerequisite and condition of employment, all Employees must sign an acknowledgment by which they agree to adhere to the Code, which is provided to each new Employee prior to his or her start date, and, annually thereafter if requested by the Company, or at such other intervals as the Company may require, sign a further acknowledgment that they have continued to adhere to the Code since last signing such an acknowledgment.

Basic Obligations

Under the Company’s ethical standards, Employees share certain responsibilities. It is each Employee’s responsibility to: (i) become familiar with and conduct the Company’s business in compliance with applicable laws and this Code; (ii) treat all Employees, security holders of the Company, customers, business partners, suppliers and competitors in an honest and fair manner; (iii) avoid situations where the Employee’s personal interests are, or appear to be, in conflict with the Company’s interests; and (iv) safeguard and properly use the Company’s proprietary and confidential information, assets, resources and opportunities, as well as those of the Company’s business partners.

E-628

Conflicts of Interest

An Employee should not engage in any activity, practice or act which conflicts with the best interests of the Company or its business partners. A conflict of interest occurs when an Employee places or finds himself/herself in a position where his or her private interests conflict with the best interests of the Company or have an adverse affect on the Employee’s motivation or the proper performance of his or her job. Examples of such conflicts could include, but are not limited to:

Accepting outside employment with, or accepting personal payments from, any organization which does business with the Company or is a competitor of the Company.
Accepting or giving gifts of more than modest value to or from customers, business partners or suppliers of the Company.
Competing with the Company for the purchase or sale of property, services or other interests or taking personal advantage of an opportunity in which the Company has an interest.
Having, or immediate family members having, a financial interest in an entity which does business with the Company.
Having an interest in a transaction involving the Company or a customer, business partner or supplier (not including routine investments in publicly traded companies).

Employees must not place themselves or remain in a position in which the Employee’s private interests conflict with the interests of the Company.

If the Company determines that an Employee’s outside work interferes with the Employee’s performance or his or her ability to meet the requirements of the Company, as they are modified from time to time, the Employee may be asked to terminate the outside work if he or she wishes to remain employed by the Company. To protect the interests of both an Employee and the Company, any activity that involves a potential or apparent conflict of interest may be undertaken only after disclosure to the Company by the Employee and review and approval by the appropriate level of management.

If a director or “executive officer”¹of the Company determines that he or she has a conflict of interest in connection with the operations of the Company, such director or executive officer will immediately disclose the conflict to the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) and will otherwise follow the procedures and remedies as set out in the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia).

Confidentiality Concerning Corporate Affairs

Employees must preserve and protect the confidentiality of information entrusted to them by the Company or its customers, business partners and suppliers and which they come into contact with in the course of their employment, except when disclosing information which is expressly approved by an Employee with authority to give such approval or such disclosure is legally mandated. Confidential information encompasses proprietary information which is not in the public domain and which, if disclosed, could be of use to competitors or could harm the Company, its Employees or its customers, business partners or suppliers.

Employees must also not use or disclose to the Company any proprietary information or trade secrets of any former employer or other person or entity with whom obligations of confidentiality exist. Similarly, an Employee’s obligation to protect confidential information continues after he or she leaves the Company.

E-629

____________________
¹An “executive officer” is an individual who is (a) a chair, vice-chair or president; (b) a vice-president in charge of a principal business unit, division or function including sales, finance or production; or (c) performing a policy-making function in respect of the Company.

Disclosure Policy

The Company is committed to providing timely, consistent and credible dissemination of information, consistent with disclosure requirements under applicable securities laws. The Company has implemented a Disclosure Policy, the goal of which is to raise awareness of the Company’s approach to disclosure among Employees and those authorized to speak on behalf of the Company.

The Disclosure Policy extends to all Employees and those authorized to speak on the Company’s behalf. It covers disclosure in documents the Company disseminates to the public and files with securities regulatory authorities, written statements made in the Company’s annual and quarterly reports, news releases, material change reports, letters to shareholders, presentations by senior management, information contained on the Company’s website and other electronic communications. It also extends to oral statements made in meetings and telephone conversations with members of the investment community (which includes analysts, investors, investment dealers, brokers, investment advisers and investment managers), interviews with the media as well as speeches and conference calls.

As a prerequisite and condition of employment, all Employees must sign an acknowledgment by which they agree to adhere to the Company’s Disclosure Policy, which is provided to each new Employee prior to his or her start date.

Accuracy of Records

The Company is required to record and report all internal and external financial records in compliance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles. Therefore, Employees are responsible for ensuring the accuracy of all books and records within their control and complying with all of the Company’s policies and internal controls. All of the Company’s information must be reported accurately, whether in internal personnel, safety, or other records or in information the Company releases to the public or files with government agencies.

Compliance with All Laws, Rules and Regulations

The Company is committed to compliance with all applicable laws, rules, and regulations, including those applicable to the Company’s securities and those promulgated by any stock exchange on which the Company’s securities are listed.

International Operations and Business Practices

Employees operating outside of Canada have a special responsibility to know and obey laws and regulations of countries where they act for the Company and to conduct themselves in accordance with local business practices. The Company recognizes that laws, regulations, business practices and customs vary throughout the world and that, in certain cases, may be different from laws, regulations, business practices and customs in Canada. The Company and its Employees shall comply with applicable laws relating to foreign corrupt practices.

Corruption of Foreign Public Officials Act (Canada) (“CFPOA”)

The CFPOA is a Canadian federal law which the Company takes very seriously and which Employees are specifically bound to understand and comply with. A copy of the CFPOA is attached to this Code as Schedule “B”. Schedule “A” to this Code, the Receipt and Acknowledgment, makes specific reference to the CFPOA and requires Employees to certify that they have read, understood and complied with the CFPOA.

E-630

Health and Safety

The Company is committed to making its work environment safe, secure and healthy for its Employees and others. The Company will comply with all applicable laws, rules and regulations relating to safety and health in the workplace, and expects each Employee to promote a positive working environment for all and to consult and comply with all of the Company’s rules regarding workplace conduct and safety. Employees should immediately report any unsafe or hazardous conditions or materials, any injuries or accidents and any activity that compromises corporate security to a senior officer of the Company. Employees must not work under the influence of any substances that would impair the safety of others. All threats or acts of physical violence or intimidation are prohibited.

Respect for Employees

The Company’s employment decisions will be based on reasons related to its business, such as job performance and individual skills and talents. The Company will adhere to all national, provincial or other local employment laws. The Company will not discriminate, within the meaning of applicable laws, on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability or age.

Abusive or Harassing Conduct Prohibited

Abusive or harassing conduct by an Employee towards others, such as unwelcome sexual advances, comments based on ethnicity, religion or race, other non-business, personal comments or conduct that makes others uncomfortable in their employment is prohibited. The Company encourages and expects an Employee to report abusive, harassing or other inappropriate conduct to management as soon as it occurs.

Privacy

The Company, and companies and individuals authorized by the Company, collect and maintain personal information that relates to an Employee’s employment, including compensation, medical and benefit information. The Company follows procedures to protect information wherever it is stored or processed, and access to an Employee’s personal information is restricted. Personal information will only be released to outside parties in accordance with the Company’s policies and applicable legal requirements. Employees who have access to personal information must ensure that personal information is not disclosed in violation of the Company’s policies or practices.

Raising Concerns and Reporting Departures from this Code

It is the responsibility of all Employees to understand and comply with this Code.

If an Employee observes or becomes aware of an actual or potential departure from this Code, or of any actual or potential violation of any law or regulation, whether committed by an Employee or others, it is his or her responsibility to report the circumstances as outlined herein and to cooperate with any investigation by the Company. This Code is designed to provide an atmosphere of open communication for compliance issues and to ensure that Employees acting in good faith have the means to report actual or potential departures from this Code.

For assistance with compliance matters and to report actual or potential departures from this Code, an Employee should contact an officer of the Company. An Employee may also submit reports of departures from this Code in writing on a confidential basis to the chair of the Audit Committee in an envelope labelled with a legend such as “To be opened by the Audit Committee only, being submitted pursuant to the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics”. An Employee may submit such confidential envelopes directly or via an officer of the Company, who will pass it on forthwith to the chair of the Audit Committee.

Officers and directors who become aware of any departure from this Code should promptly report such to the chair of the Audit Committee openly or confidentially (in the manner described above).

E-631

Following the receipt of any report of a departure from this Code the Audit Committee will investigate each matter so reported and take corrective disciplinary actions, if appropriate, up to and including termination of employment.

There will be no reprisals against an Employee for good faith reporting of a departure from this Code.

Disclosure of Departures from this Code

Any conduct by a director or executive officer which constitutes a material departure from the Code may constitute a “material change”.²Upon becoming aware of a material departure from the Code by a director or executive officer that the Company has determined does constitute a material change, the Company will comply with all applicable laws, rules, and regulations relating to the disclosure of a material change, including those promulgated by any stock exchange on which the Company’s securities are listed. Such disclosure will include, among other things, the date of the departure(s), the party(ies) involved in the departure(s), the reason why the Board has or has not sanctioned the departure(s) and any measures the Board has taken to address or remedy the departure(s).

Policy Against Retaliation

The Company prohibits any Employee from retaliating or taking adverse action against anyone for raising suspected departures from the Code or other conduct violations or helping to resolve a conduct concern. Any individual who has been found to have engaged in retaliation against an Employee for raising, in good faith, a departure from this Code or a conduct concern or for participating in the investigation of such a departure or concern may be subject to discipline, up to and including termination of employment or other business relationship. If any individual believes that he or she has been subjected to such retaliation, that person is encouraged to report the situation as soon as possible as provided for under the heading “Raising Concerns and Reporting Departures from this Code”.

Relationship to Other Policies

WHISTLEBLOWER POLICY

Oromin is committed to the excellent standards of integrity, ethics, personal and corporate responsibility and adherence to laws and regulations that govern our business. These aspects of corporate governance are essential to Oromin's long-term success and critical to the effective, efficient and prudent operation of the Company.

As part of its Corporate Governance practices, Oromin has a process called the Whistleblower Policy that allows employees throughout the organization to report any unethical or illegal activity without fear of reprisal from their fellow employees, supervisor or other Company officials. Illegal activities include but are not limited to fraud, theft, accounting irregularities and bribery. This webpage sets out and constitutes Oromin’s Whistleblower Policy.

Oromin’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (“the Code”) is distributed to its employees to ensure that each employee understands and agrees with Oromin’s commitment to a culture of honesty, integrity and accountability. The Code together with this Whistleblower Policy is available on Oromin’s website (www.oromin.com) in the “Corporate” section.

The Code provides the guidelines for employee behavior and establishes the basis for open communication. It has been written and distributed to ensure that employees acting in good faith have the means to report actual or potential violations. The Company expects all employees, officers and directors to adhere to the Code, other internal policies and guidelines of the Company, and all laws and regulations that apply to the Company’s business. If an employee observes or becomes aware of any actual or potential violation of the Code or any law or regulation, that he or she believes is not being properly addressed by his or her supervisor or management of Oromin, it is their responsibility to report the circumstances to Oromin’s Chairman of the Audit Committee as outlined below. It is this Chairman’s responsibility to investigate any potential violation and report, to management or the Board of Directors based on his judgment, on the investigation.

As per the Code’s principles, there will be no reprisals against employees, officers or directors for reporting violations. While all individuals are encouraged to identify themselves to facilitate a thorough and confidential investigation, they are not required to do so and may make a report anonymously. All reports will be treated as confidential to the maximum extent possible, and only revealed on a need-to-know basis or as required by law.

Employees are invited to use any of the following options to contact Oromin’s Chairman of the Audit Committee should they observe a violation of our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics or a law or regulation that the employee believes has not been properly complied with or about which corrective action has not been taken.

The Chairman of the Audit Committee is Robert Brennan. He may be reached by confidential communication as follows:
