A LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS OF OROMIN EXPLORATIONS LTD.

Dear Fellow Shareholders:

As you may know, we recently entered into an agreement with Oromin in respect of an amended offer (the "Improved Offer") to acquire all of the outstanding Oromin shares that we do not already own. Among other things, the Improved Offer reflects an increase in the exchange ratio to 0.60 of a Teranga share for each Oromin Share. The full terms and conditions of the Improved Offer are contained in the enclosed Notice of Change, Variation and Extension.

We urge you to review the enclosed documents and to act quickly on the opportunity to receive a premium to market for your Oromin shares. The realities of the gold space today have been very challenging for everyone, but we are confident that by leveraging off of our existing mill and infrastructure, together we should become stronger, more profitable and at the same time have the opportunity to capitalize on exciting synergies going forward.

We are very encouraged and pleased with the support we have received to date for the transaction from both Oromin and Teranga shareholders, as well as Oromin's board and management, who, like us, believe that combining our assets and capabilities is in the best interests of both companies. We expect that the combination of assets will result in an entity with increased production and improved financial metrics as a result of the addition of Oromin's interest in the OJVG open pit reserves. The Oromin acquisition is an exciting opportunity for both companies and we would like you to be a part of that.

Oromin's board of directors are fully supportive of the Improved Offer and they unanimously recommend that you tender your Oromin shares to the Improved Offer.

All of the directors and officers of Oromin have also personally endorsed the Improved Offer and agreed to tender their Oromin shares to the Improved Offer. With the Oromin shares held by IAMGOLD Corporation that have already been tendered, and with the Oromin shares we already own, this represents 45,899,577 Oromin Shares, or approximately 33.4% of the outstanding Oromin shares in favour of the Improved Offer.

The Need to Act

In order for the Improved Offer to proceed, among other things, at least two-thirds of the Oromin shares (including those held by us), on a fully-diluted basis, need to be tendered and not withdrawn by 9:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on August 6, 2013, unless the Improved Offer is further extended or withdrawn. Time is of the essence and you need to act now.

If you have any questions or need assistance in completing the enclosed BLUE Letter of Transmittal or tendering your Oromin shares, please call Kingsdale Shareholder Services Inc. at 1-866-229-8651 (toll free within North America) or 1-416-867-2272 (collect calls accepted), or by email at contactus@kingsdaleshareholder.com.

Shareholders who have already validly deposited and not withdrawn their Oromin shares need take no further action to accept the Improved Offer and receive the increased consideration payable there under.

Yours very truly,

LOGO

Alan R. Hill
Executive Chairman
Teranga Gold Corporation


This document is important and requires your immediate attention. If you have any questions as to how to deal with it, you should consult your investment dealer, broker, bank manager, lawyer or other professional advisor. No securities regulatory authority has expressed an opinion about, or passed upon the fairness or merits of, the offer contained in this document, the securities offered pursuant to such offer or the adequacy of the information contained in this document and it is an offence to claim otherwise.

This document does not constitute an offer or a solicitation to any person in any jurisdiction in which such offer or solicitation is unlawful. The offer is not being made or directed to, nor will deposits of shares be accepted from or on behalf of, shareholders in any jurisdiction in which the making or acceptance of the offer would not be in compliance with the laws of such jurisdiction. However, Teranga or its agents may, in their sole discretion, take such action as it may deem necessary to extend the offer to shareholders in any such jurisdiction.

The Offer is being made for the securities of a Canadian issuer and by a Canadian issuer that is permitted, under a multijurisdictional disclosure system adopted by the United States, to prepare the Offer to Purchase and Circular in accordance with the disclosure requirements of Canada. Shareholders should be aware that such requirements are different from those of the United States. The financial statements included or incorporated by reference herein have been prepared in accordance with IFRS, and may be subject to Canadian auditing and auditor independence standards, and thus may not be comparable to financial statements of United States companies.

Shareholders in the United States should be aware that the disposition of their Oromin Shares and the acquisition of Teranga Shares by them as described herein may have tax consequences both in the United States and in Canada. Such consequences may not be fully described herein and such Shareholders are encouraged to consult their tax advisors.

The enforcement by Shareholders of civil liabilities under the United States federal securities laws may be affected adversely by the fact that Teranga exists under the CBCA, that Oromin exists under the BCBCA, and that some or all of their respective officers and directors may be residents of jurisdictions outside the United States, that some or all of the experts named herein may be residents of jurisdictions outside the United States and that all or a substantial portion of the assets of Teranga and Oromin and said persons may be located outside the United States.

Shareholders should be aware that, during the period of the Offer, Teranga or its affiliates, directly or indirectly, may bid for or make purchases of Teranga Shares or Oromin Shares, or certain related securities, as permitted by applicable laws or regulations of the United States, Canada or its provinces or territories.

NOTICE OF CHANGE, VARIATION AND EXTENSION

of Teranga Gold Corporation's ("Teranga") offer to purchase all of the outstanding common shares
(together with the associated rights issued under the shareholder rights plan)

of

OROMIN EXPLORATIONS LTD.
not already held by Teranga and its affiliates

for the increased consideration of 0.60 of a common share of Teranga

for each common share of Oromin Explorations Ltd. ("Oromin")

Teranga hereby gives notice that it has varied, amended and supplemented the terms of its offer, dated June 19, 2013 (the "Original Offer to Purchase"), to purchase all of the outstanding common shares of Oromin, other than the common shares of Oromin owned, directly or indirectly, by Teranga and its affiliates, and including any common shares of Oromin that may become issued and outstanding after the date of the Original Offer to Purchase but before the Expiry Time (as defined herein) upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of any Convertible Securities, together with the SRP Rights issued under the Oromin Shareholder Rights (collectively, the "Oromin Shares"). The Original Offer to Purchase is varied, amended and supplemented in order, among other things:

    (a)
    to extend the expiry time from 9:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on July 30, 2013 to 9:00 p.m. (Toronto time) to August 6, 2013;

    (b)
    to increase the consideration payable for each Oromin Share from 0.582 of a common share of Teranga ("Teranga Share") to 0.60 of a Teranga Share; and

    (c)
    to amend the Conditions of the Offer contained in Section 4 of the Original Offer to Purchase, as specified by this Notice of Change, Variation and Extension (the "Notice of Change, Variation and Extension").


    The Offer has been varied and extended and is now open for acceptance until 9:00 p.m. (Toronto Time) on
    August 6, 2013 (the "Expiry Time"), unless the Offer is further extended or withdrawn.

    The Oromin Board, following consultation with its financial and legal advisors, has unanimously determined that the Offer is fair to Shareholders (other than Teranga) and in the best interests of Oromin and, accordingly, the Oromin Board unanimously recommends that Shareholders deposit their Oromin Shares to the Offer.



      This Notice of Change, Variation and Extension should be read in conjunction with the Original Offer to Purchase and accompanying circular, dated June 19, 2013 (the "Original Circular", which, together with the Original Offer to Purchase, constitute the "Original Offer to Purchase and Circular"). The Original Offer to Purchase and Circular, as varied, amended and supplemented by this Notice of Change, Variation and Extension, together constitute the "Offer to Purchase and Circular". Except as otherwise set forth herein by this Notice of Change, Variation and Extension, the terms and conditions previously set forth in the Original Offer to Purchase and Circular, the Letter of Transmittal and the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery continue to be applicable in all respects. All references to the "Offer" in the Original Offer to Purchase and Circular, the Letter of Transmittal, the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery mean the Offer as amended hereby, and all references in such documents to the "Offer to Purchase and Circular" mean the Original Offer to Purchase and Circular as amended hereby. Unless the context requires otherwise, capitalized terms used but not defined in this Notice of Change, Variation and Extension which are defined in the Original Offer to Purchase and Circular have the respective meanings ascribed to them therein.

        Shareholders who have validly deposited and not withdrawn their Oromin Shares need take no further action to accept the Offer as varied by this Notice of Change, Variation and Extension. Shareholders who wish to accept the Offer must properly complete and execute the Letter of Transmittal (printed on blue paper) that accompanies this Notice of Change, Variation and Extension or a manually signed facsimile thereof, and deposit it, at or prior to the Expiry Time, together with the certificate(s) representing their Oromin Shares and all other required documents, at the Toronto office of the Depositary in accordance with the instructions in the Letter of Transmittal. Alternatively, Shareholders may (i) accept the Offer by following the procedures for book-entry transfer of Oromin Shares set out in Section 3 of the Original Offer to Purchase, "Manner for Acceptance — Acceptance by Book-Entry Transfer", or (ii) follow the procedure for guaranteed delivery set forth in Section 3 of the Original Offer to Purchase, "Manner for Acceptance — Procedure for Guaranteed Delivery" by using a Notice of Guaranteed Delivery (printed on yellow paper) that accompanies this Notice of Change, Variation and Extension or a manually signed facsimile thereof.

        Shareholders whose Oromin Shares are registered in the name of an investment advisor, stockbroker, bank, trust company or other nominee should immediately contact that intermediary for assistance if they wish to accept the Offer in order to take the necessary steps to be able to deposit such Oromin Shares under the Offer. Intermediaries likely have established tendering cut-off times that are up to 48 hours prior to the Expiry Time. Shareholders must instruct their brokers or other intermediaries promptly if they wish to tender.

        Shareholders will not be required to pay any fee or commission if they accept the Offer by depositing their Oromin Shares directly with the Depositary.

        Questions and requests for assistance may be directed to the Depositary and the Information Agent for the Offer, whose contact details are provided on the back cover of this document. Additional copies of this Notice of Change, Variation and Extension, the Original Offer to Purchase and Circular, the Letter of Transmittal and the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery may be obtained without charge on request from the Depositary or the Information Agent and are accessible on the Canadian Securities Administrators' website at www.sedar.com. This website address is provided for informational purposes only and no information contained on, or accessible from, such website is incorporated by reference herein unless expressly incorporated by reference.

        No broker, dealer, salesperson or other person has been authorized to give any information or make any representation other than those contained in this document, and, if given or made, such information or representation must not be relied upon as having been authorized by Teranga, the Information Agent or the Depositary.

        This Notice of Change, Variation and Extension does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy to any person in any jurisdiction in which such offer or solicitation is unlawful. The Offer is not being made or directed to, nor will deposits of Oromin Shares be accepted from, or on behalf of, Shareholders in any jurisdiction in which the making or acceptance of the Offer would not be in compliance with the Laws of such jurisdiction. However, Teranga or its agents may, in their sole discretion, take such action as they may deem necessary to extend the Offer to Shareholders in any such jurisdiction.


ADDITIONAL NOTICES TO OROMIN SHAREHOLDERS IN THE UNITED STATES

        Teranga has filed with the SEC a Registration Statement on Form F-80 and a tender offer statement on Schedule 14D-1F, each of which includes the Original Offer to Purchase and Circular, and other documents and information. U.S. INVESTORS AND U.S. SECURITY HOLDERS OF OROMIN ARE URGED TO READ THESE DOCUMENTS AND ANY OTHER RELEVANT DOCUMENTS FILED WITH THE SEC, AS WELL AS ANY AMENDMENTS OR SUPPLEMENTS TO THESE DOCUMENTS, WHEN THEY BECOME AVAILABLE, BEFORE MAKING ANY INVESTMENT DECISION WITH RESPECT TO THE PROPOSED TRANSACTION BECAUSE THEY WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE PROPOSED TRANSACTION. U.S. investors and U.S. security holders of Oromin may obtain these documents free of charge at the SEC's website at www.sec.gov. In addition, the documents filed with the SEC by Teranga can be obtained free of charge by directing such request to Teranga's Information Agent, or at Teranga's website at www.terangagold.com.


        The Offer does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities in any state in the United States in which such offer or solicitation is unlawful. The Offer is not being made or directed to, nor is this document being mailed to, nor will deposits of Oromin Shares be accepted from or on behalf of, Shareholders in any state in the United States in which the making or acceptance of the Offer would not be in compliance with the laws of such state. Teranga or its agents may, in their sole discretion, take such action as they may deem desirable to extend the Offer to Shareholders in any such state. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Teranga or its agents may elect not to complete such action in any given instance. Accordingly, Teranga cannot at this time assure holders of Oromin Shares that otherwise valid tenders can or will be accepted from holders resident in all states in the United States.

        Because Teranga is not permitted to take up and pay for Oromin Shares owned by a United States resident until the Offer in the state such person resides has been registered with the applicable state regulatory agency or an exemption from such registration is available, Teranga has filed the appropriate forms to qualify the Offer in those states in the United States that Teranga has determined filings are necessary and advisable; however, there can be no assurance that any such states in which such filings are made will approve the Offer and sale.


STATEMENTS REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

        Certain information contained in this Notice of Change, Variation and Extension under Section 1, "Recent Developments" and in the Original Circular under Section 6, "Reasons to Accept the Offer", Section 7, "Purpose of the Offer and Teranga's Plans for Oromin" and Section 12, "Acquisition of Oromin Shares Not Deposited", in addition to certain information contained elsewhere in this Notice of Change, Variation and Extension and the Original Offer to Purchase and Circular, contain forward-looking statements, which may include future-oriented financial information, and are prospective in nature. Forward-looking statements, which may include future-oriented financial information, are not based on historical facts, but rather on current expectations and projections about future events, and are therefore subject to risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ materially from the future results expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Often, but not always, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking words such as "plans", "expects" or "does not expect", "is expected", "is subject to", "budget", "scheduled", "estimates", "forecasts", "intends", "anticipates", "does not anticipate", "believes" or variations of such words and phrases or statements that certain actions, events or results "may", "could", "should", "would", "might" or "will" be taken, occur or be achieved. Such statements are qualified in their entirety by assumptions and the inherent risks and uncertainties surrounding future expectations. Such forward-looking statements, which may include future-oriented financial information, are based on assumptions made by Teranga in light of its experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments, as well as other factors that Teranga believes are appropriate in the circumstances, including their expectations of timing and the terms and benefits of the Offer, as well as the expected outcome of the Bendon Litigation, and such assumptions involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of Teranga to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the expectations of Teranga include, among other things: dependence on the Sabodala gold mine for substantially all of Teranga's operating revenue and cash flows; dependence of financial performance on the price of gold; ability to meet key production and cost estimates; technical operational risks of an operating gold mine; changes in the supply or cost of energy, commodities or other key inputs; fluctuations in stock exchange prices; dependence on key management and qualified operating personnel; inherent dangers and risks of mining; speculative and uncertain nature of mining; illegal mining and related delays, disputes and liability; ability to obtain additional external financing on commercially acceptable terms; ability to continually replace and expand Teranga's reserves and resources; changes in taxation laws, regulations or enforcement; legal proceedings; adequacy of insurance; fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates; renewal of the Sabodala Mining License in 2022; licensing, permitting and approvals and other regulatory requirements of operating in Senegal; environmental laws and regulations; land reclamation costs; risks associated with joint ventures; challenges to mineral rights or surface rights; ability to identify or complete desirable acquisitions, investments or divestitures, and subsequently integrating such business or asset; political, economic and other risks in Senegal; international disputes and litigation; uncertainties in the interpretation and application of laws and regulations in Senegal; ability to repatriate funds from Senegal or any other foreign country; current global

2


financial conditions and volatility; conflicts of interest; ability to compete successfully with other mining companies; consequences of a mine closure; outbreak of any severe communicable disease in Senegal; compliance with ASX listing rules and corporate law; government approvals; the Bendon Litigation and co-operation of Bendon and Badr with respect to OJVG. Such forward-looking statements, which may include future-oriented financial information, should therefore be construed in light of such factors. These factors are not intended to represent a complete list of the general or specific factors that could affect Teranga. Additional factors may be noted elsewhere in the Original Offer to Purchase and Circular and in any documents incorporated by reference therein. Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements or future-oriented financial information. Teranga disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by applicable Laws.

        Forward-looking information and other information contained in this Notice of Change, Variation and Extension and the Original Offer to Purchase and Circular and in any documents incorporated by reference therein concerning mineral exploration and management's general expectations concerning the mineral exploration industry are based on estimates prepared by management using data from publicly available industry sources as well as from market research and industry analysis and on assumptions based on data and knowledge of this industry which management believes to be reasonable. However, this data is inherently imprecise, although generally indicative of relative market positions, market shares and performance characteristics. While management is not aware of any misstatements regarding any industry data presented in this Notice of Change, Variation and Extension and the Original Offer to Purchase and Circular, mineral exploration involves risks and uncertainties and industry data is subject to change based on various factors.

        In addition, please note that statements relating to "reserves" or "resources" are deemed to be forward-looking information as they involve the implied assessment, based on certain estimates and assumptions, that the resources and reserves described can be profitably mined in the future.

        Neither Teranga nor its directors or officers has verified the accuracy or completeness of information or statements contained herein or in the Original Offer to Purchase and Circular which are made by or derived from third-party sources. Such third-party sources may have failed to identify events or facts which may have occurred or which may affect the significance or accuracy of any such information or statements. Teranga has no means of verifying the accuracy or completeness of such information or statements made by or derived from third-party sources or whether there has been any failure by such sources to identify events that may have occurred or may affect the significance or accuracy of any information or statements.


CURRENCY

        In this Notice of Change, Variation and Extension, all references to "$" or "dollars" refer to Canadian dollars.

NOTICE OF CHANGE, VARIATION AND EXTENSION

TO:    THE HOLDERS OF COMMON SHARES OF OROMIN

July 26, 2013

        This Notice of Change, Variation and Extension varies, amends and supplements the Original Offer to Purchase and Circular. Except to the extent varied, amended or supplemented by this Notice of Change, Variation and Extension, the terms and conditions set forth in the Original Offer to Purchase and Circular, the Letter of Transmittal and the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery continue to be applicable in all respects. This Notice of Change, Variation and Extension is to be read in conjunction with the Original Offer to Purchase and Circular, the Letter of Transmittal and the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery.

        All references to the "Offer" in the Original Offer to Purchase and Circular, the Letter of Transmittal, the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery and this Notice of Change, Variation and Extension mean the Offer as amended hereby, and all references in such documents to the "Offer to Purchase" and/or "Circular" mean the Original Offer to Purchase and Circular as amended hereby. Unless the context requires otherwise, capitalized terms used but not defined in this Notice of Change, Variation and Extension which are defined in the Original Offer to Purchase and Circular have the respective meanings ascribed to them therein.

1.     Recent Developments

        On June 24, 2013, Teranga mailed to its shareholders an amended and restated proxy circular (the "Amended Circular") for the upcoming annual and special meeting of shareholders of Teranga to be held on July 18, 2013 (the "Meeting"), where, among other things, Teranga shareholders were to vote on a resolution to approve the issuance of Teranga Shares in connection with the Offer.

        On July 4, 2013, Mineral Deposits Limited ("MDL") issued a press release noting the withdrawal of all of its nominees for election as directors to the board of Teranga at the Meeting. On July 4, 2013, Teranga issued a press release noting MDL's press release of earlier that day and confirming that Mr. Limb had withdrawn his consent to act as a director of Teranga and that therefore shareholders of Teranga would be voting on the remaining six nominees proposed by management of Teranga in its Amended Circular.

        On July 4, 2013, Oromin filed and delivered a Directors' Circular in response to the Offer, which contained no recommendation to Shareholders for the reasons specified therein.

        On July 11, 2013 Teranga announced that Institutional Shareholder Services Inc. ("ISS"), Glass Lewis & Co. ("GL") and Ownership Matters Pty. Ltd. ("Ownership Matters"), three leading proxy advisory firms, all recommended that shareholders of Teranga vote FOR the proposed acquisition of Oromin Exploration Ltd ("Oromin") and FOR management's director nominees up for election at the Meeting. In all three reports, ISS, GL and Ownership Matters recommended that Teranga shareholders vote FOR the proposed resolutions put forward by management, specifically, the approval of the offer to acquire Oromin; the election of directors; the appointment of auditors; and the ratification of the Advanced Notice By-Law of Teranga.

        At the Meeting on July 18, 2013, the shareholders of Teranga approved the Teranga Shares to be issued under the Offer, the slate of directors put forward by management of Teranga, the appointment of Teranga's auditors and the ratification of the Advanced Notice By-Law of Teranga.

        On July 22, 2013, Teranga and Oromin entered into a support agreement (the "Support Agreement") pursuant to which, among other things, Teranga agreed to amend the Offer as set out in this Notice of Change, Variation and Extension, and Oromin agreed to recommend to Shareholders that they deposit their Oromin Shares to the Offer.

        In connection with the Support Agreement, all of the directors and officers of Oromin have entered into lock-up agreements with Teranga pursuant to which they have agreed to tender a total of 11,111,441 Oromin Shares, representing approximately 8.1% of the outstanding Oromin Shares, to the Offer. IAMGOLD Corporation has also agreed to extend to August 19, 2013 its previously executed lock-up agreement with Teranga and tender its 16,088,636 Oromin Shares, representing approximately 11.7% of the outstanding Oromin

4


Shares, to the Offer. Teranga owns 18,699,500 Oromin Shares, representing approximately 13.6% of the outstanding Oromin Shares. All together this represents 45,899,577 Oromin Shares or approximately 33.4% of the outstanding Oromin Shares. The lock-up agreements with the directors and officers of Oromin will terminate in the event that the Support Agreement is terminated.

        Prior to entering into the Support Agreement, a special committee of the Oromin Board received an oral fairness opinion from its financial advisor, RBC Capital Markets, to the effect that as of the date of such opinion the consideration to be received under the Offer was fair, from a financial point of view, to Shareholders, other than Teranga. The Oromin Board, after receiving the unanimous recommendation of the special committee that the Oromin Board enter into the Support Agreement, unanimously determined that the Offer is fair to the Shareholders (other than Teranga) and is in the best interests of Oromin and unanimously approved the entering into of the Support Agreement and unanimously resolved to recommend that the Shareholders tender their Oromin Shares to the Offer.

        In respect of the Current Bendon Litigation (as defined in Section 9, "Change in Information of the Offer"), Oromin is of the view, and concurs with Teranga's assessment, that the making of the Offer to acquire Oromin, and the take-up of Oromin Shares tendered, is not prohibited or restricted by the terms of the Shareholders Agreement governing the OJVG and neither Bendon nor Badr Investment & Finance Company have any right of first refusal, right of first offer or similar right on or in respect of, the transfer of Oromin's indirect interest in the OJVG or the OJVG Golouma Gold Project. Oromin and Teranga both believe that the Bendon Litigation is ill-conceived and will assertively defend it. In that regard, Teranga has served Bendon with a Notice of Motion and accompanying affidavit seeking to dismiss the Bendon litigation.

        The following is a summary of the material terms of the Support Agreement. This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text thereof, a copy of which is available on Teranga's website at www.terangagold.com and on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

        In addition, Teranga also agreed to extend the Expiry Time: (i) up to September 15, 2013 (the "Outside Date"), in order to contest or appeal any injunction by a Government Entity preventing the take up of and/or payment for the Oromin Shares and (ii) should the Minimum Tender Condition be waived in accordance with the Support Agreement, to the earlier of (x) the expiry of at least two extensions of 10 days each and (y) the date upon which at least 662/3% of the Oromin Shares outstanding calculated on a non-diluted basis have been validly deposited pursuant to the Offer.

        Teranga would be required to pay to Oromin a break fee amount of $1,500,000, if, at any time after the execution of the Support Agreement and prior to the Expiry Date, the Support Agreement is terminated by Oromin because (i) Teranga has failed to perform a material covenant (which is not cured within 10 Business Days of receiving written notice thereof) (ii) any representation or warranty made by Teranga in the Support Agreement is untrue in any material respect and such untrue representation is not curable or, if curable, is not cured on the earlier of such date which is 10 Business Days of written notice to Teranga thereof and the Expiry Date, except for any untrue or incorrect representations or warranties which, individually or in the aggregate, would not, or would not reasonably be expected to, result in a Teranga Material Adverse Effect; or (iii) if there shall occur any event that would result in a Teranga Material Adverse Effect. The obligation of Teranga to pay the break fee shall survive the termination of the Support Agreement;

        Oromin shall pay to Teranga the amount of $1,500,000 (the "Break Fee"), if, at any time after the execution of the Support Agreement and prior to the Expiry Date, the Support Agreement shall have been terminated by:

    (a)
    Teranga if (i) Oromin has failed to perform a material covenant (which is not cured within 10 Business Days of receiving written notice thereof); (ii) any representation or warranty made by Oromin in the Support Agreement is untrue in any material respect and such untrue representation is not curable or, if curable, is not cured on the earlier of such date which is 10 Business Days of written notice to Oromin thereof and the Expiry Date, except for any untrue or incorrect representations or warranties which, individually or in the aggregate, would not, or would not reasonably be expected to, result in a Material Adverse Effect; or (iii) there shall occur any event that would result in a Material Adverse Effect;

    (i)
    Teranga shall not have become aware of any untrue statement of a material fact, or an omission to state a material fact that is required to be stated or that is necessary to make a statement not misleading in light of the circumstances in which it was made and at the date it was made (after giving effect to all subsequent filings in relation to all matters covered in earlier filings), in any document filed by or on behalf of Oromin with any securities regulatory authority in Canada or elsewhere that would in the aggregate have a Material Adverse Effect, in each case unless the same is acceptable to Teranga in its reasonable good faith judgment;

        The foregoing conditions are for the sole benefit of Teranga and may be asserted by Teranga during the pendency of the Offer in its sole discretion at any time. Subject to Sections 1.3(g) and (h) of the Support Agreement for so long as it is in full force and effect, Teranga may waive any of the foregoing conditions (other than those involving receipt of required governmental approvals, which must be satisfied) in whole or in part at any time and from time to time during the pendency of the Offer in its sole discretion, without prejudice to any other rights which Teranga may have. The failure by Teranga at any time to exercise any of the foregoing rights will not be deemed a waiver of any such right, the waiver of any such right with respect to particular facts and other circumstances will not be deemed a waiver with respect to any other facts and circumstances, and each such right shall be deemed an ongoing right that may be asserted at any time and from time to time by Teranga during the pendency of the Offer. Subject to Sections 1.3(g) and (h) of the Support Agreement for so long as it is in full force and effect, if Teranga waives a condition, it will extend the expiration date of the Offer so that the Offer will remain open for at least 10 days following the waiver. All conditions to the Offer must be satisfied or waived prior to taking up, purchasing or paying for the Oromin Shares.

        Any waiver of a condition or the withdrawal of the 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. Forthwith after giving any such notice, Teranga will make a public announcement of such waiver or withdrawal, will cause the Depositary, if required by applicable Laws, as soon as practicable thereafter to communicate such notice to all Shareholders in the manner set forth below in Section 10 of the Offer to Purchase, "Notice and Delivery" and will provide a copy of such notice to the TSX. 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 Offer and may be accepted for purchase by Teranga in accordance with the terms of the Offer. If the 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"."

SHAREHOLDERS WHO ACCEPT THE OFFER THROUGH A BOOK-ENTRY TRANSFER WILL BE DEEMED TO HAVE COMPLETED AND SUBMITTED A LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL AND BE BOUND BY THE TERMS HEREOF.

This Letter of Transmittal, or a manually executed facsimile hereof, properly completed and executed, together with all other required documents, is to be used to deposit common shares of Oromin Explorations Ltd. ("Oromin"), including any common shares of Oromin that may become issued and outstanding after the date of the Offer but before the Expiry Time upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of any Convertible Securities (as defined in the Offer to Purchase and Circular), together with the associated rights (the "SRP Rights") issued under the shareholder rights plan of Oromin dated June 27, 2008 (the "Shareholders Rights Plan") (collectively, the "Oromin Shares"), under the offer (the "Offer") dated June 19, 2013, as amended by the Notice of Change, Variation and Extension dated July 26, 2013 (the "Notice of Change, Variation and Extension") made by Teranga Gold Corporation ("Teranga") to purchase, subject to the terms and conditions of the Offer, all of the issued and outstanding Oromin Shares, other than Oromin Shares owned, directly or indirectly, by Teranga and its affiliates, and must be received by Kingsdale Shareholder Services Inc.

See Instruction 2 herein, "Procedure for Guaranteed Delivery".

The terms and conditions of the Offer are incorporated by reference in this Letter of Transmittal. The Offer to Purchase and accompanying Circular dated June 19, 2013 (the "Offer to Purchase and Circular"), as well as the Notice of Change, Variation and Extension contain important information and Shareholders are urged to read the Offer to Purchase and Circular and Notice of Change, Variation and Extension in its entirety. Capitalized or defined terms used but not defined in this Letter of Transmittal which are defined in the Offer to Purchase and Circular and Notice of Change, Variation and Extension have the respective meanings ascribed thereto in the Offer to Purchase and Circular and Notice of Change, Variation and Extension.

Questions or requests for assistance in accepting the Offer, completing this Letter of Transmittal and depositing Oromin Shares with the Depositary may be directed to the Depositary and Information Agent. Their contact details are provided at the end of this document.

Shareholders whose Oromin Shares are registered in the name of an investment advisor, stockbroker, bank, trust company or other nominee should immediately contact that intermediary for assistance if they wish to accept the Offer in order to take the necessary steps to be able to deposit such Oromin Shares under the Offer.

NOTICE TO SHAREHOLDERS IN THE UNITED STATES

Teranga has filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") a Registration Statement on Form F-80, a tender offer statement on Schedule 14D-1F and other documents and information, including the Offer to Purchase and Circular and Notice of Change, Variation and Extension to Shareholders concerning the Offer.

The Offer is not being made or directed to, nor is this document being mailed to, nor will deposits of Oromin Shares be accepted from or on behalf of, Shareholders in any state in the United States in which the making or acceptance of the Offer would not be in compliance with the laws of such state. Teranga or its agents may, in their sole discretion, take such action as it or they may deem desirable to extend the Offer to Shareholders in any such state. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Teranga or its agents may elect not to complete such action in any given instance. Accordingly, Teranga cannot at this time assure holders of Oromin Shares that otherwise valid tenders can or will be accepted from holders resident in all states in the United States.

In furtherance of the foregoing, each U.S. Shareholder is requested to complete Block F to indicate whether the Shareholder is a person that is (a) resident in the United States or (b) acting for the account or benefit of a person in the United States (a "U.S. Shareholder"). In addition, each U.S. Shareholder is requested to complete Block F-1 identifying the U.S. state(s) in which the person making the decision to accept the Offer is resident. Teranga and its agents reserve the right not to take up and pay for Oromin Shares deposited by a Shareholder that fails to complete Block F or, if applicable, Block F-1, whose response thereto is illegible or whose investment decisions are, or Teranga or its agents, acting in their sole discretion, reasonably believes are, made in a U.S. state in which (x) the making or acceptance of the Offer would not be in compliance with the laws of such state or (y) Teranga or its agents have elected not to complete such action in any given instance in such U.S. state.

If you desire to deposit fewer than all Oromin Shares evidenced by any certificate(s) listed above, please indicate in this column the number of Oromin Shares you wish to deposit. Unless otherwise indicated, the total number of Oromin Shares evidenced by all certificates delivered will be deemed to have been deposited. See Instruction 7 of this Letter of Transmittal, "Partial Deposits".

***
The following procedures must be followed in order to effect the valid deposit of the SRP Rights associated with the Deposited Oromin Shares: (a) if the Separation Time under the Shareholder Rights Plan has not occurred prior to the Expiry Time and Rights Certificates have not been distributed by Oromin, a deposit of Oromin Shares will also constitute a deposit of the associated SRP Rights; (b) if the Separation Time occurs before the Expiry Time and Rights Certificates have been distributed by Oromin prior to the time Oromin Shares are deposited under the Offer, Rights Certificates representing SRP Rights equal in number to the number of Deposited Oromin Shares must be delivered with the Letter of Transmittal or, if available, a Book-Entry Confirmation must be received by the Depositary with respect thereto; and (c) if the Separation Time occurs before the Expiry Time and Rights Certificates have not been distributed by the time Oromin Shares are deposited under the Offer, or the Rights Certificates have been distributed but not received by the Shareholder making the deposit, the Shareholder may deposit its SRP Rights before receiving Rights Certificates by using the guaranteed delivery procedure set out in Section 3 of the Offer to Purchase, "Manner for Acceptance — Procedure for Guaranteed Delivery". Note that, in any case, a deposit of Oromin Shares constitutes an agreement by the Shareholder making the deposit to deliver Rights Certificates representing SRP Rights equal in number to the number of Deposited Oromin Shares by the Shareholder, or, if available, a Book-Entry Confirmation must be received by the Depositary with respect thereto, on or before the third trading day on the TSX after the date, if any, that Rights Certificates are distributed. Teranga reserves the right to require, if the Separation Time occurs before the Expiry Time, that the Depositary receive from the Shareholder making the deposit, prior to taking up the Deposited Oromin Shares by the undersigned for payment pursuant to the Offer, Rights Certificates (or, if available, a Book-Entry Confirmation) from the Shareholder representing SRP Rights equal in number to the Oromin Shares deposited by the Shareholder.

The undersigned hereby acknowledges receipt of the Offer to Purchase and Circular and Notice of Change, Variation and Extension and acknowledges that there will be a binding agreement between the undersigned and Teranga effective immediately following the time at which Teranga takes up such Deposited Oromin Shares, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Offer and the Letter of Transmittal.

The undersigned represents and warrants that:

    (a)
    the undersigned has received the Offer to Purchase and Circular and Notice of Change, Variation and Extension;

    (b)
    the undersigned, or the person on whose behalf a book-entry transfer is made, has full power and authority to deposit, sell, assign and transfer the Deposited Oromin Shares and all rights and benefits arising from such Deposited Oromin Shares including, without limitation, any Distributions;

    (c)
    the undersigned, or the person on whose behalf a book-entry transfer is made, owns the Deposited Oromin Shares and any Distributions deposited under the Offer;

    (d)
    the Deposited Oromin Shares and Distributions deposited under the Offer have not been sold, assigned or transferred, nor has any agreement been entered into to sell, assign or transfer any of the Deposited Oromin Shares or Distributions deposited under the Offer, to any person;

    (e)
    the deposit of the Deposited Oromin Shares and Distributions complies with applicable Laws; and

    (f)
    when the Deposited Oromin Shares are taken up and paid for by Teranga, Teranga will acquire good title thereto (and to any Distributions), free and clear of all liens, restrictions, charges, encumbrances, claims and rights of others.

The undersigned acknowledges that under certain circumstances Teranga may, among other things, (i) extend vary or terminate the Offer (see the Section 1.3 of the Support Agreement and Section 5 of the Offer to Purchase, "Extension, Variation and Changes in the Offer"), or (ii) make such adjustments as it deems appropriate to the purchase price and other terms of the Offer to reflect any changes on or after the date of the Offer to the Oromin Shares or Oromin's capitalization (see Section 9 of the Offer to Purchase, "Changes in Capitalization of Oromin; Adjustments; Liens"). In addition, the undersigned acknowledges that if, on or after the date of the Offer, Oromin should declare, set aside or pay any Distributions that are payable or distributable to Shareholders on a record date prior to the date of transfer into the name of Teranga or its nominee or transferee on the securities registers maintained by or on behalf of Oromin in respect of Oromin Shares, then Teranga may reduce the purchase price under the Offer or the undersigned may be required to promptly transfer to Teranga such Distributions, all in accordance with the terms of the Offer (see Section 9 of the Offer to Purchase, "Changes in Capitalization of Oromin; Adjustments; Liens").

The undersigned irrevocably constitutes and appoints, effective at and after the Effective Time, each director and officer of Teranga, and any other person designated by Teranga, as the true and lawful agent, attorney, attorney-in-fact and proxy of the holder of the Deposited Oromin Shares (which Deposited Oromin Shares upon being taken up are, together with any Distributions thereon, hereinafter referred to as the "Oromin Purchased Securities") with respect to such Oromin Purchased Securities, with full power of substitution (such powers of attorney, being coupled with an interest, being irrevocable), in the name of and on behalf of such Shareholder:

    (a)
    to register or record the transfer and/or cancellation of such Oromin Purchased Securities to the extent consisting of securities on the appropriate securities registers maintained by or on behalf of Oromin;

    (b)
    for so long as any such Oromin Purchased Securities are registered or recorded in the name of such Shareholder, to exercise any and all rights of such Shareholder including, without limitation, the right to vote, to execute and deliver (provided the same is not contrary to applicable Laws), as and when requested by Teranga, any and all instruments of proxy, authorizations or consents in form and on terms satisfactory to Teranga in respect of any or all Oromin Purchased Securities, to revoke any such instruments, authorizations or consents given prior to or after the Effective Time, and to designate in any such instruments, authorizations or consents any person or persons as the proxyholder of such Shareholder in respect of such Oromin Purchased Securities for all purposes including, without limitation, in connection with any meeting or meetings (whether annual, special or otherwise, or any

5


      adjournments thereof, including, without limitation, any meeting to consider a Subsequent Acquisition Transaction) of holders of relevant securities of Oromin;

    (c)
    to execute, endorse and negotiate, for and in the name of and on behalf of such Shareholder, any and all cheques or other instruments representing any Distributions payable to or to the order of, or endorsed in favour of, such Shareholder; and

    (d)
    to exercise any other rights of a Shareholder with respect to such Oromin Purchased Securities, all as set out in this Letter of Transmittal.

Effective at and after the Effective Time, the undersigned revokes any and all other authority, whether as agent, attorney-in-fact, attorney, proxy or otherwise, previously conferred or agreed to be conferred by the Shareholder at any time with respect to the Deposited Oromin Shares or any Distributions. Such depositing Shareholder agrees that no subsequent authority, whether as agent, attorney-in-fact, attorney, proxy or otherwise will be granted with respect to the Deposited Oromin Shares or any Distributions by or on behalf of the depositing Shareholder unless the Deposited Oromin Shares are not taken up and paid for under the Offer or are withdrawn in accordance with Section 7 of the Offer to Purchase, "Withdrawal of Deposited Oromin Shares".

The undersigned also agrees following the Effective Time not to vote any of the Oromin Purchased Securities at any meeting (whether annual, special or otherwise or any adjournments thereof, including, without limitation, any meeting to consider a Subsequent Acquisition Transaction) of holders of relevant securities of Oromin and, except as may otherwise be agreed with Teranga, not to exercise any of the other rights or privileges attached to the Oromin Purchased Securities, and agrees to execute and deliver to Teranga any and all instruments of proxy, authorizations or consents in respect of all or any of the Oromin Purchased Securities, and agrees to designate or appoint in any such instruments of proxy, authorizations or consents, the person or persons specified by Teranga as the proxy or the proxy nominee or nominees of the holder of the Oromin Purchased Securities. Upon such appointment, all prior proxies and other authorizations (including, without limitation, all appointments of any agent, attorney or attorney-in-fact) or consents given by the holder of such Oromin Purchased Securities with respect thereto will be revoked and no subsequent proxies or other authorizations or consents may be given by such person with respect thereto.

The undersigned covenants to execute, upon request of Teranga, any additional documents, transfers and other assurances as may be necessary or desirable to complete the sale, assignment and transfer of the Oromin Purchased Securities to Teranga. Each authority therein conferred or agreed to be conferred is, to the extent permitted by applicable Laws, irrevocable and may be exercised during any subsequent legal incapacity of such Shareholder and shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Laws, survive the death or incapacity, bankruptcy or insolvency of the Shareholder and all obligations of the Shareholder therein shall be binding upon the heirs, executors, administrators, attorneys, personal representatives, successors and assigns of such Shareholder.

The Depositary will act as the agent of the persons who have deposited Oromin Shares under the Offer for the purposes of receiving payment from Teranga and transmitting such payment to such persons. Receipt by the Depositary of the share certificates, or their equivalent, representing the consideration under the Offer shall be deemed to constitute receipt of payment by persons depositing Oromin Shares under the Offer.

Settlement with each Shareholder who has deposited (and not withdrawn) Oromin Shares under the Offer that have been taken up and accepted for payment will be made by the Depositary delivering or causing to be delivered certificates, if any, representing Teranga Shares (or, in the case of Oromin Shares deposited by book-entry transfer, the credit of Teranga Shares), in the amounts to which the person depositing Oromin Shares is entitled. Unless otherwise directed in this Letter of Transmittal, the certificate, if any, representing Teranga Shares (or, in the case of Oromin Shares deposited by book-entry transfer, the credit of Teranga Shares) will be issued in the name of the registered holder of the Oromin Shares so deposited. Unless the person depositing the Oromin Shares instructs the Depositary to hold the certificate for pick-up by checking the appropriate box (Block D) in this Letter of Transmittal, the certificate will be forwarded by first class mail to such person at the address specified in this Letter of Transmittal. If no such address is specified, the certificate will be sent to the address of the registered holder as shown on the securities register maintained by or on behalf of Oromin. Certificates mailed in accordance with this paragraph will be deemed to be delivered at the time of mailing.

6


Pursuant to applicable Laws, Teranga may, in certain circumstances, be required to make withholdings from the amount otherwise payable to a Shareholder.

Any Deposited Oromin Shares that are not taken up and paid for by Teranga pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Offer for any reason, will be returned, at the expense of Teranga, to the depositing Shareholder as soon as practicable following the Expiry Time or any withdrawal of the Offer, by either (i) sending certificates representing the Oromin Shares not purchased by first-class insured mail to the address of the depositing Shareholder specified in this Letter of Transmittal or, if such name or address is not so specified, in such name and to such address as shown on the securities register maintained by or on behalf of Oromin, or (ii) in the case of Oromin Shares deposited by book-entry transfer of such Oromin Shares pursuant to the procedures set out in Section 3 of the Offer to Purchase, "Manner for Acceptance — Acceptance by Book-Entry Transfer", such Oromin Shares will be credited to the depositing Shareholder's account maintained with CDS or DTC, as applicable. Shareholders who hold their Oromin Shares in an account maintained by DTC may not be eligible for electronic settlement for the issuance of Teranga Shares through book-entry transfer. In that event, DTC Participants should send a physical Letter of Transmittal to the Depositary with clear issuance instructions, along with the original Agent's Message reference number.

Shareholders will not be required to pay any fee or commission if they accept the Offer by depositing their Oromin Shares directly with the Depositary.

By reason of the use by the undersigned of an English language form of Letter of Transmittal, the undersigned shall be deemed to have required that any contract evidenced by the Offer as accepted through this Letter of Transmittal, as well as all documents related thereto, be drawn exclusively in the English language. En raison de l'usage d'une letter d'envoi en langue anglaise par le soussigné, le soussigné est réputé avoir requis que tout contrat attesté par l'offre et son acceptation par cette lettre d'envoi, de même que tous les documents qui s'y rapportent, soient rédigés exclusivement en langue anglaise.

1.     Use of Letter of Transmittal

    (a)
    This Letter of Transmittal, or a manually executed facsimile hereof, properly completed and executed, with the signature(s) guaranteed if required by Instruction 3 below, together with accompanying certificate(s) representing the Deposited Oromin Shares and, if the Separation Time has occurred before the Expiry Time and Rights Certificates have been distributed before the Expiry Time, the Rights Certificates(s) representing the deposited SRP Rights (or, alternatively, Book-Entry Confirmation with respect thereto) and all other documents required by the terms of the Offer and this Letter of Transmittal must be physically received by the Depositary at its office specified in this Letter of Transmittal at or prior to the Expiry Time, unless the Offer is extended or withdrawn or unless the procedure for guaranteed delivery set out in Instruction 2 below is used.

    (b)
    The method of delivery of certificates representing Oromin Shares and, if applicable, Rights Certificates (or a Book-Entry Confirmation, as applicable), the Letter of Transmittal, the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery and all other documents is at the option and risk of the person depositing such documents. Teranga recommends that certificates, the accompanying Letter of Transmittal, the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery and any other documents be delivered by hand to the Depositary and that a receipt be obtained for their deposit. If the documents are mailed, Teranga recommends that registered mail with return receipt or acknowledgement of receipt be used and that proper insurance be obtained. It is suggested that any such mailing be made sufficiently in advance of the Expiry Time to permit delivery to the Depositary on or prior to such time. Delivery will only be effective upon actual physical receipt by the Depositary.

    (c)
    Shareholders whose Oromin Shares are registered in the name of an investment advisor, stockbroker, bank, trust company or other nominee should immediately contact that intermediary for assistance if they wish to accept the Offer in order to take the necessary steps to be able to deposit such Oromin Shares under the Offer.

2.     Procedure for Guaranteed Delivery

        If a Shareholder wishes to accept the Offer and deposit Oromin Shares pursuant to the Offer and (i) the certificate(s) representing such Shareholder's Oromin Shares are not immediately available; (ii) such Shareholder cannot deliver the certificate(s), the Letter of Transmittal and all other required documents to the Depositary by the Expiry Time; or (iii) such Shareholder cannot comply with the procedures for book-entry transfer on a timely basis, then those Oromin Shares may nevertheless be deposited under the Offer, provided that all of the following conditions are met:

    (a)
    such deposit is made by or through an Eligible Institution;

    (b)
    a properly completed and duly executed Notice of Guaranteed Delivery printed on yellow paper (or a manually signed facsimile thereof) together with a guarantee to deliver by an Eligible Institution in the form set out in the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery is received by the Depositary at its principal office in Toronto, Ontario at or before the Expiry Time;

    (c)
    the certificate or certificates representing the Deposited Oromin Shares, and, if the Separation Time has occurred before the Expiry Time and Rights Certificates have been distributed to Shareholders before the Expiry Time, the Rights Certificate(s) representing the deposited SRP Rights, in proper form for transfer, together with a properly completed and duly signed Letter of Transmittal (or a manually signed facsimile copy) in accordance with the instructions set out in this Letter of Transmittal, and other documents required by this Letter of Transmittal, are received at the Toronto office of the Depositary by 5:00 p.m. (Toronto Time) on or before the third trading day on the TSX after the Expiry Date; and

    (d)
    in the case of SRP Rights where the Separation Time has occurred before the Expiry Time but Rights Certificates have not been distributed to Shareholders before the Expiry Time, the Rights Certificate(s) representing the deposited SRP Rights in proper form for transfer, together with a

      properly completed and duly signed Letter of Transmittal (or a manually signed facsimile copy) in accordance with the instructions set out in this Letter of Transmittal and other documents required by this Letter of Transmittal, are received at the Toronto office of the Depositary by 5:00 p.m. (Toronto Time) on or before the third trading day on the TSX after Rights Certificates are distributed to Shareholders.

        The Notice of Guaranteed Delivery must be delivered by mail, hand or courier or transmitted by electronic facsimile to the Depositary only at its principal office in Toronto, Ontario at or prior to the Expiry Time and must include a guarantee by an Eligible Institution in the form set forth in the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery. Delivery of the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery and this Letter of Transmittal and accompanying certificate(s) representing Oromin Shares and, if applicable, SRP Rights and all other required documents to an address or transmission by facsimile to facsimile number other than those specified in the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery does not constitute delivery for purposes of satisfying a guaranteed delivery.

        An "Eligible Institution" means a Canadian Schedule I chartered bank or an eligible guarantor institution with membership in an approved Medallion signature guarantee program, including certain trust companies in Canada, a member of the Securities Transfer Agents Medallion Program (STAMP), a member of the Stock Exchanges Medallion Program (SEMP) or a member of the New York Stock Exchange Medallion Signature Program (MSP). Members of these programs are usually members of a recognized stock exchange in Canada or the United States, members of the Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada, members of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. or banks and trust companies in Canada or the United States.

If Block B is not completed, any certificate(s) will be mailed to the depositing Shareholder at the address of such Shareholder as it appears in Block A or, if no address is provided in Block A, then it will be mailed to the address of such Shareholder as it appears on the securities register maintained by or on behalf of Oromin.

The total number of Oromin Shares evidenced by all certificates delivered will be deemed to have been deposited unless otherwise indicated. Note that this Instruction is not applicable to holders who deposit their Oromin Shares by book-entry transfer.

8.     Substitute Form W-9 for U.S. Persons Only

        United States federal income tax law generally requires a U.S. Person who receives cash in exchange for Oromin Shares to provide the Depositary with its correct Taxpayer Identification Number ("TIN"), which, in the case of a U.S. Person who is an individual, is generally the individual's social security number. If the Depositary is not provided with the correct TIN or an adequate basis for an exemption from backup withholding, such holder may be subject to penalties imposed by the Internal Revenue Service and backup withholding on the gross proceeds of any payment received from the Depositary. If withholding results in an overpayment of taxes, a refund may be obtained by timely filing a U.S. tax return.

        To prevent backup withholding, each U.S. Person must provide its correct TIN by completing the "Substitute Form W-9" set forth in this document, which requires the Shareholder to certify under penalties of perjury, (1) that the TIN provided is correct (or that such Shareholder is awaiting a TIN); (2) that (i) the Shareholder is exempt from backup withholding; (ii) the Shareholder has not been notified by the Internal Revenue Service that he is subject to backup withholding as a result of a failure to report all interest or dividends; or (iii) the Internal Revenue Service has notified the Shareholder that he is no longer subject to backup withholding; and (3) that the Shareholder is a U.S. citizen or other U.S. person as defined on the attached Substitute Form W-9.

        Exempt holders (including, among others, all C corporations) are not subject to backup withholding and reporting requirements. To prevent possible erroneous backup withholding, an exempt holder must enter its correct TIN in Part 1 of Substitute Form W-9, write "Exempt" in Part 2 of such form, and sign and date the form. See the enclosed Guidelines for Certification of Taxpayer Identification Number on Substitute Form W-9 (the "W-9 Guidelines") for additional instructions.

15


        If Oromin Shares are held in more than one name or are not in the name of the actual owner, consult the enclosed W-9 Guidelines for information on which TIN to report.

        If a U.S. Person does not have a TIN, such holder should: (i) consult the enclosed W-9 Guidelines for instructions on applying for a TIN, (ii) write "Applied For" in the space for the TIN in Part 1 of the Substitute Form W-9, and (iii) sign and date the Substitute Form W-9 and the Certificate of Awaiting Taxpayer Identification Number set forth in this document. In such case, the Depositary may withhold a portion of the gross proceeds of any payment made to such holder prior to the time a properly certified TIN is provided to the Depositary.

        If a Shareholder has a U.S. address, but is not a U.S. Person, such holder is required to submit an appropriate and properly completed IRS Form W-8 Certificate of Foreign Status, signed under penalties of perjury. Such appropriate IRS Form W-8 may be obtained from the Depositary.

        A SHAREHOLDER WHO FAILS TO PROPERLY COMPLETE THE SUBSTITUTE FORM W-9 SET FORTH IN THIS LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL OR, IF APPLICABLE, THE APPROPRIATE IRS FORM W-8 MAY BE SUBJECT TO BACKUP WITHHOLDING ON THE GROSS PROCEEDS OF ANY PAYMENTS MADE TO SUCH HOLDER PURSUANT TO THE OFFER. BACKUP WITHHOLDING IS NOT AN ADDITIONAL TAX. RATHER, THE TAX LIABILITY OF PERSONS SUBJECT TO BACKUP WITHHOLDING WILL BE REDUCED BY THE AMOUNT OF TAX WITHHELD. IF WITHHOLDING RESULTS IN AN OVERPAYMENT OF TAXES, A REFUND MAY BE OBTAINED BY TIMELY FILING A TAX RETURN WITH THE IRS. THE DEPOSITARY CANNOT REFUND AMOUNTS WITHHELD BY REASON OF BACKUP WITHHOLDING.

        TO ENSURE COMPLIANCE WITH U.S. TREASURY DEPARTMENT CIRCULAR 230, SHAREHOLDERS ARE HEREBY NOTIFIED THAT: (A) ANY DISCUSSION OF U.S. FEDERAL TAX ISSUES IN THIS DOCUMENT IS NOT INTENDED OR WRITTEN TO BE USED, AND CANNOT BE USED, BY ANY TAXPAYER FOR THE PURPOSE OF AVOIDING PENALTIES THAT MAY BE IMPOSED ON THE TAXPAYER UNDER THE U.S. INTERNAL REVENUE CODE; (B) THESE DISCUSSIONS WERE WRITTEN IN CONNECTION WITH THE PROMOTION OR MARKETING OF THE OFFER; AND (C) EACH TAXPAYER SHOULD SEEK ADVICE FROM AN INDEPENDENT TAX ADVISOR BASED ON ITS PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES.

9.     Miscellaneous

    (c)
    No alternative, conditional or contingent deposits will be accepted and no fractional Oromin Shares will be purchased.

Teranga's interpretation of the terms and conditions of the Offer, the Circular, this Letter of Transmittal, the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery and any other related documents will be final and binding. Teranga reserves the right to permit the Offer to be accepted in a manner other than as set out in the Offer to Purchase and Circular and Notice of Change Variation and Extension.

    (h)

10.   Lost Certificates

The Depositary will forward such letter to Oromin's registrar and transfer agent so that the registrar and transfer agent may provide replacement instructions. If a certificate representing Oromin Shares has been lost, stolen, destroyed, mutilated or mislaid, the foregoing action must be taken sufficiently in advance of the Expiry Time in order to obtain a replacement certificate in sufficient time to permit the Oromin Shares represented by the replacement certificate to be deposited under the Offer at or prior to the Expiry Time.

11.   Assistance

        Questions or requests for assistance in accepting the Offer, completing this Letter of Transmittal and depositing the Oromin Shares with the Depositary may be directed to the Depositary and Information Agent. Their contact details are provided at the end of this document.

Obtaining a Number

        If you do not have a taxpayer identification number, you may apply for one. To apply for a social security number, get Form SS-5, Application for a Social Security Card, from your local Social Security Administration Office or online at www.ssa.gov. You may also get this form by calling 1-800-772-1213. Use Form W-7, Application for IRS Individual Taxpayer Identification Number, to apply for an ITIN, or Form SS-4, Application for Employer Identification Number, to apply for an EIN. You can find information about applying for an EIN online by accessing the IRS website at www.irs.gov/businesses and clicking on Employer Identification Number under Starting a Business. You can get Forms W-7 and SS-4 from the IRS by visiting www.irs.gov or by calling 1-800-829-3676.

        Note: Writing "Applied For" on the form means that you have already applied for a TIN or that you intend to apply for one soon. As soon as you receive your TIN, complete another Substitute Form W-9, include your TIN, sign and date the form, and give it to the payer.

        PRIVACY ACT NOTICE — Section 6109 requires you to provide your correct taxpayer identification number to payers, who must report the payments to the IRS. The IRS uses the number for identification purposes and may also provide this information to various government agencies for tax enforcement or litigation purposes. Payers must be given the numbers whether or not recipients are required to file tax returns. Payers must generally withhold a portion of taxable interest, dividend, and certain other payments to a payee who does not furnish a taxpayer identification number to the payer. Certain penalties may also apply.

19


Penalties

(1)
Failure to Furnish Taxpayer Identification Number. — If you fail to furnish your taxpayer identification number to a payer, you may be subject to a penalty of U.S.$50 for each such failure unless your failure is due to reasonable cause and not to wilful neglect.

(2)
Civil Penalty for False Information With Respect to Withholding. — If you make a false statement with no reasonable basis that results in no backup withholding, you may be subject to a U.S.$500 penalty.

(3)
Criminal Penalty for Falsifying Information. — Wilfully falsifying certifications or affirmations may subject you to criminal penalties including fines and/or imprisonment.

The Offer is not being made or directed to, nor is this document being mailed to, nor will deposits of Oromin Shares be accepted from or on behalf of, Shareholders in any state in the United States in which the making or acceptance of the Offer would not be in compliance with the laws of such state. Teranga or its agents may, in their sole discretion, take such action as it or they may deem desirable to extend the Offer to Shareholders in any such state. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Teranga or its agents may elect not to complete such action in any given instance. Accordingly, Teranga cannot at this time assure holders of Oromin Shares that otherwise valid tenders can or will be accepted from holders resident in all states in the United States.

Each Shareholder will be requested to complete Block F in the Letter of Transmittal to indicate whether the Shareholder is a person that is resident in the United States or acting for the account or benefit of a person in the United States (a "U.S. Shareholder"). In addition, each U.S. Shareholder will be requested to complete Block F-1 in the Letter of Transmittal identifying the U.S. state(s) in which the person making the decision to accept the Offer is resident. All Shareholders delivering this Notice of Guaranteed Delivery will also be required to complete Box 3 herein and all U.S. Shareholders delivering this Notice of Guaranteed Delivery will also be required, in addition to completing Box 3 herein, to complete Box 4 herein. Teranga and its agents reserves the right not to take up and pay for Oromin Shares deposited by a Shareholder that fails to complete Block F or, if applicable, Block F-1 in the Letter of Transmittal, whose response thereto is illegible or whose investment decisions are, or Teranga or its agents, acting in their sole discretion, reasonably believes are, made in a U.S. state in which (x) the making or acceptance of the Offer would not be in compliance with the laws of such state or (y) Teranga or its agents have elected not to complete such action in any given instance in such U.S. state.

If a Shareholder wishes to accept the Offer and deposit Oromin Shares pursuant to the Offer and (i) the certificate(s) representing such Shareholder's Oromin Shares is (are) not immediately available; (ii) such Shareholder cannot deliver the certificate(s), the Letter of Transmittal and all other required documents to the Depositary by the Expiry Time; or (iii) such Shareholder cannot comply with the procedures for book-entry transfer on a timely basis, those Oromin Shares may nevertheless be deposited under the Offer, provided that all of the following conditions are met:

    (a)
    such deposit is made by or through an Eligible Institution;

    (b)
    this Notice of Guaranteed Delivery (or a manually signed facsimile hereof) together with a guarantee to deliver by an Eligible Institution in the form set out in this Notice of Guaranteed Delivery is properly completed and duly executed and is received by the Depositary at its principal office in Toronto, Ontario at or before the Expiry Time;

    (c)
    the certificate(s) representing the Deposited Oromin Shares, and, if the Separation Time has occurred before the Expiry Time and Rights Certificates have been distributed to Shareholders before the Expiry Time, the Rights Certificate(s) representing the deposited SRP Rights, in proper form for transfer, together with a properly completed and duly signed Letter of Transmittal (or a manually signed facsimile copy) in accordance with the instructions set out in the Letter of Transmittal, and other documents required by such Letter of Transmittal, are received at the Toronto office of the Depositary by 5:00 p.m. (Toronto Time) on or before the third trading day on the TSX after the Expiry Date; and

    (d)
    in the case of SRP Rights where the Separation Time has occurred before the Expiry Time but Rights Certificates have not been distributed to Shareholders before the Expiry Time, the Rights Certificate(s) representing the deposited SRP Rights in proper form for transfer, together with a properly completed and duly signed Letter of Transmittal (or a manually signed facsimile copy) in accordance with the instructions set out in the Letter of Transmittal and other documents required by such Letter of Transmittal, are received at the Toronto office of the Depositary by 5:00 p.m. (Toronto Time) on or before the third trading day on the TSX after Rights Certificates are distributed to Shareholders.

An "Eligible Institution" means a Canadian Schedule I chartered bank or an eligible guarantor institution with membership in an approved Medallion signature guarantee program, including certain trust companies in Canada, a member of the Securities Transfer Agents Medallion Program (STAMP), a member of the Stock Exchanges Medallion Program (SEMP) or a member of the New York Stock Exchange Medallion Signature Program (MSP). Members of these programs are usually members of a recognized stock exchange in Canada or the United States, members of the Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada, members of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. or banks and trust companies in Canada or the United States.

The undersigned understands and acknowledges that payment for Oromin Shares deposited and taken up by Teranga under the Offer will be made only after timely receipt by the Depositary of the certificate(s) representing the Oromin Shares and, if applicable, Rights Certificate(s), a Letter of Transmittal, or a manually executed facsimile thereof, properly completed and executed, covering such Oromin Shares and, if applicable, SRP Rights, with the signature(s) guaranteed, if required in accordance with the instructions set out in the Letter of Transmittal, and all other documents required by the Letter of Transmittal at or prior to 5:00 p.m. (Toronto Time) on the third trading day on the TSX after the Expiry Time. The consideration for the Oromin Shares tendered pursuant to the guaranteed delivery procedures will be the same as that for the Oromin Shares delivered to the Depositary before the Expiry Time, even if the certificate(s) representing all of the Deposited Oromin Shares to be delivered pursuant to the guaranteed delivery procedure set forth in Section 3 of the Offer to Purchase, "Manner for Acceptance — Procedure for Guaranteed Delivery", are not so delivered to the Depositary and, therefore, payment by the Depositary for such Oromin Shares is not made until after the take-up of, and payment for, the Oromin Shares under the Offer.

All authority conferred or agreed to be conferred by this Notice of Guaranteed Delivery is, to the extent permitted by applicable Laws, irrevocable and may be exercised during any subsequent legal incapacity of the undersigned and shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Laws, survive the death or incapacity, bankruptcy or insolvency of the undersigned and all obligations of the undersigned under this Notice of Guaranteed Delivery shall be binding upon the heirs, executors, administrators, attorneys, personal representatives, successors and assigns of the undersigned.

The following procedures must be followed in order to effect the valid deposit of the SRP Rights associated with the Deposited Oromin Shares: (a) if the Separation Time under the Shareholder Rights Plan has not occurred prior to the Expiry Time and Rights Certificates have not been distributed by Oromin, a deposit of Oromin Shares will also constitute a deposit of the associated SRP Rights; (b) if the Separation Time occurs before the Expiry Time and Rights Certificates have been distributed by Oromin prior to the time Oromin Shares are deposited under the Offer, Rights Certificates representing SRP Rights equal in number to the number of Deposited Oromin Shares must be delivered with the Letter of Transmittal or, if available, a Book-Entry Confirmation must be received by the Depositary with respect thereto; and (c) if the Separation Time occurs before the Expiry Time and Rights Certificates have not been distributed by the time Oromin Shares are deposited under the Offer, or the Rights Certificates have been distributed but not received by the Shareholder making the deposit, the Shareholder may deposit its SRP Rights before receiving Rights Certificates by using the guaranteed delivery procedure set out in Section 3 of the Offer to Purchase, "Manner for Acceptance — Procedure for Guaranteed Delivery". Note that, in any case, a deposit of Oromin Shares constitutes an agreement by the Shareholder making the deposit to deliver Rights Certificates representing SRP Rights equal in number to the number of Deposited Oromin Shares by the Shareholder, or, if available, a Book-Entry Confirmation must be received by the Depositary with respect thereto, on or before the third trading day on the TSX after the date, if any, that Rights Certificates are distributed. Teranga reserves the right to require, if the Separation Time occurs before the Expiry Time, that the Depositary receive from the Shareholder making the deposit, prior to taking up the Deposited Oromin Shares by the undersigned for payment pursuant to the Offer, Rights Certificates (or, if available, a Book-Entry Confirmation) from the Shareholder representing SRP Rights equal in number to the Oromin Shares deposited by the Shareholder.

PART II

 

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED TO BE DELIVERED TO OFFEREES OR PURCHASERS

 

The following information is applicable to the Registrant.

 

Indemnification Provisions

 

(1)                                 Section 124B of the Canada Business Corporations Act provides, in part, as follows:

 

Indemnification

 

124.                        (1)                                 A corporation may indemnify a director or officer of the corporation, a former director or officer of the corporation or another individual who acts or acted at the corporation’s request as a director or officer, or an individual acting in a similar capacity, of another entity, against all costs, charges and expenses, including an amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment, reasonably incurred by the individual in respect of any civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or other proceeding in which the individual is involved because of that association with the corporation or other entity.

 

Advance of costs

 

(2)                                 A corporation may advance moneys to a director, officer or other individual for the costs, charges and expenses of a proceeding referred to in subsection (1). The individual shall repay the moneys if the individual does not fulfil the conditions of subsection (3).

 

Limitation

 

(3)                                 A corporation may not indemnify an individual under subsection (1) unless the individual

 

(a)                                 acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the corporation, or, as the case may be, to the best interests of the other entity for which the individual acted as director or officer or in a similar capacity at the corporation’s request; and

 

(b)                                 in the case of a criminal or administrative action or proceeding that is enforced by a monetary penalty, the individual had reasonable grounds for believing that the individual’s conduct was lawful.

 

Indemnification in derivative actions

 

(4)                                 A corporation may with the approval of a court, indemnify an individual referred to in subsection (1), or advance moneys under subsection (2), in respect of an action by or on behalf of the corporation or other entity to procure a judgment in its favour, to which the individual is made a party because of the individual’s association with the corporation or other entity as described in subsection (1) against all costs, charges and expenses

 

3



 

reasonably incurred by the individual in connection with such action, if the individual fulfils the conditions set out in subsection (3).

 

Right to indemnity

 

(5)                                 Despite subsection (1), an individual referred to in that subsection is entitled to indemnity from the corporation in respect of all costs, charges and expenses reasonably incurred by the individual in connection with the defence of any civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or other proceeding to which the individual is subject because of the individual’s association with the corporation or other entity as described in subsection (1), if the individual seeking indemnity

 

(a)                                 was not judged by the court or other competent authority to have committed any fault or omitted to do anything that the individual ought to have done; and

 

(b)                                 fulfils the conditions set out in subsection (3).

 

Insurance

 

(6)                                 A corporation may purchase and maintain insurance for the benefit of an individual referred to in subsection (1) against any liability incurred by the individual

 

(a)                                 in the individual’s capacity as a director or officer of the corporation; or

 

(b)                                 in the individual’s capacity as a director or officer, or similar capacity, of another entity, if the individual acts or acted in that capacity at the corporation’s request.

 

Application to court

 

(7)                                 A corporation, an individual or an entity referred to in subsection (1) may apply to a court for an order approving an indemnity under this section and the court may so order and make any further order that it sees fit.

 

Notice to Director

 

(8)                                 An applicant under subsection (7) shall give the Director notice of the application and the Director is entitled to appear and be heard in person or by counsel.

 

Other notice

 

(9)                                 On an application under subsection (7) the court may order notice to be given to any interested person and the person is entitled to appear and be heard in person or by counsel.”

(2)                                 Section 6 of By-Law No. 1 of the Registrant provides as follows:

 

“Section 6.2                              Indemnity.

 

The Corporation will indemnify to the fullest extent permitted by the Act (i) any director or officer of the Corporation, (ii) any former director or officer of the Corporation, (iii) any individual who acts or acted at the Corporation’s request as a director or officer, or in a similar capacity, of another entity, and (iv) their respective heirs and legal representatives. The Corporation is authorized to execute agreements in favour of any of the foregoing persons evidencing the terms of the indemnity. Nothing in this by-law limits the right of any person entitled to indemnity to claim indemnity apart from the provisions of this by-law.

 

Section 6.3                                    Insurance.

 

The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance for the benefit of any person referred to in Section 6.2 against such liabilities and in such amounts as the directors may determine and as are permitted by the Act.

 

The Registrant has agreed to indemnify its directors and officers, to the extent permitted under corporate law, against costs and damages incurred by the directors and officers as a result of lawsuits or any other judicial, administrative or investigative proceeding in which the directors and officers are sued as a result of their services. The Registrant’s directors and officers are covered by directors’ and officers’ liability insurance.”

 

(3)                                 Indemnification Agreements

 

The directors and officers of the Registrant (for purposes of this Section, each an “Indemnified Party”, and collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) have entered into individual indemnity agreements with the Registrant (for purposes of this Section, the “Agreements”) that provide for indemnification in respect of certain liabilities or expenses which may be incurred as a result of acting as a director and/or officer of Registrant.

 

The Agreements provide a general indemnity, to the fullest extent permitted by law, from and against losses, including taxes, which the Indemnified Parties may suffer in respect of any action or proceeding to which an Indemnified Party is made a party by reason of being or having been a director and/or officer of the Registrant (for purposes of this Section, a “Claim”), including any amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment, provided that (i) the Indemnified Party acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Registrant; and (ii) if the matter is a criminal or administrative action or proceeding that is enforced by a monetary penalty, the Indemnified Party had reasonable grounds for believing that their conduct was lawful.  Costs incurred by an Indemnified Party in the successful defense of a Claim will also be indemnified.  The Agreements also provide for reimbursement of reasonable expenses incurred in carrying

 

5



 

out the Indemnified Parties’ duties as directors and/or officers and indemnification against derivative claims and liabilities arising by operation of statute.  The Registrant may also advance up to $500,000 (or a greater amount if determined appropriate by the board of directors) upon the reasonable request of an Indemnified Party in respect of any costs, charges or expenses reasonably incurred by the Indemnified Party in defending or preparing for any Claim or other matter for which the Indemnified Party may be entitled to an indemnity or reimbursement under the Agreements.  The Registrant also provides the Indemnified Parties with directors’ and officers’ liability insurance pursuant to the Agreements.  The Agreements survive until 15 years after the respective Indemnified Party has ceased to act as a director and/or officer of the Registrant.

 

*                                         *                                         *

 

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the Registrant pursuant to the applicable provisions, the Registrant has been informed that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.
