TORONTO: January 21, 2021 - Teranga Gold Corporation ("Teranga" or the "Company") (TSX:TGZ; OTCQX:TGCDF) is pleased to announce that its shareholders and optionholders have voted in favour of the resolution (the "Resolution") approving the arrangement agreement (the "Agreement") pursuant to which Endeavour Mining Corporation ("Endeavour") will indirectly acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Teranga on the basis of 0.47 Endeavour voting ordinary share for each Teranga common share (the "Arrangement"). Over 99% of votes cast were in favour of the Resolution.

"With strong shareholder support, Teranga and Endeavour are one step closer to combining to create a best-in-class senior gold producer with our high grade, tier one Sabodala-Massawa operation as its crown jewel and supported by strong production from Wahgnion. It will also have one of the most attractive organic growth pipelines with the addition of Golden Hill and Afema, to Endeavour's already solid pipeline," said Richard Young, President and Chief Executive Officer.

"On behalf of the board of directors, I would like to thank our shareholders, our employees and the communities and governments we have worked with over the years," said Alan Hill, Chairman.
