DISCLAIMER AND OTHER MATTERSSAFE HARBOR: Some statements contained in this presentation are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995and applicable Canadian securities laws. Investors are cautioned that forward-looking statements are inherently uncertain and involve risks and uncertainties that couldcause actual results to differ materially. Such statements include comments regarding: transformation of Golden Star to a low cost underground gold producer and the timingthereof; our production expectations for the remainder of 2014, including our cash operating costs and expected operational improvements, including grade and recovery,during Q4 2014; life of mine cash operating costs for combined operations from the start of 2016; the timing for completing mining at Bogoso North and Chujah; estimatedcapital expenditures;; use of the existing Wassa processing plant and Bogoso oxide and sulfide processing plants; matters relating to the PEA for Wassa, including estimatedpost-tax internal rate of return and net present value of Wassa underground (including assumed discount rates), the timing for first production from Wassa underground,pre-production capital expenditures, and the life of mine cash operating costs and sustaining costs at Wassa underground; remaining capital expenditures for the year;positive cash flow at Bogoso until the end of the life of mine; timing of revised preliminary economic assessment at Prestea Underground; timing of Prestea Underground tocommercial production; and our mineral reserve and mineral resource estimates. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include timing of and unexpectedevents at the Bogoso oxide and sulfide processing plants and/or at the Wassa processing plant; variations in ore grade, tonnes mined, crushed or milled; variations inrelative amounts of refractory, non-refractory and transition ores; delay or failure to receive board or government approvals and permits; the availability and cost ofelectrical power; timing and availability of external financing on acceptable terms; technical, permitting, mining or processing issues, including difficulties in establishing theinfrastructure for Wassa Underground; changes in U.S. and Canadian securities markets; and fluctuations in gold price and input costs and general economic conditions.There can be no assurance that future developments affecting the Company will be those anticipated by management. Please refer to the discussion of these and otherfactors in our Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2013. The forecasts contained in this presentation constitute management's current estimates, as ofthe date of this presentation, with respect to the matters covered thereby. We expect that these estimates will change as new information is received and that actual resultswill vary from these estimates, possibly by material amounts. While we may elect to update these estimates at any time, we do not undertake to update any estimate at anyparticular time or in response to any particular event. Investors and others should not assume that any forecasts in this presentation represent management's estimate as ofany date other than the date of this presentation.NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES: In this presentation, we use the terms "cash operating cost per ounce" and "all-in sustaining cost per ounce". These terms should beconsidered as Non-GAAP Financial Measures as defined in applicable Canadian and United States securities laws and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitutefor measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. "Cash operating cost per ounce" for a period is equal to the cost of sales excluding depreciation andamortization for the period less royalties and production taxes, minus the cash component of metals inventory net realizable value adjustments and severance chargesdivided by the number of ounces of gold sold during the period. "All-in sustaining costs per ounce" commences with cash operating costs and then adds sustaining capitalexpenditures, corporate general and administrative costs, mine site exploratory drilling and greenfield evaluation costs and environmental rehabilitation costs. This measureseeks to represent the total costs of producing gold from operations. These measures are not representative of all cash expenditures as they do not include income taxpayments or interest costs. These measures are not necessarily indicative of operating profit or cash flow from operations as would be determined under InternationalFinancial Reporting Standards. Changes in numerous factors including, but not limited to, mining rates, milling rates, gold grade, gold recovery, and the costs of labor,consumables and mine site general and administrative activities can cause these measures to increase or decrease. We believe that these measures are the same or similarto the measures of other gold mining companies, but may not be comparable to similarly titled measures in every instance. In order to indicate to stakeholders thecompany's earnings excluding the non-cash (gain)/loss on the fair value of debentures, non-cash impairment charges and severance charges, the Company calculatesadjusted net loss attributable to Golden Star shareholders" and "adjusted net loss per share attributable to Golden Star shareholders" to supplement the condensed interimconsolidated financial statements.INFORMATION: The information contained in this presentation has been obtained by Golden Star from its own records and from other sources deemed reliable, however norepresentation or warranty is made as to its accuracy or completeness. The technical information relating to Golden Star's material properties disclosed herein is based upontechnical reports prepared and filed pursuant to National Instrument 43-101 Standards for Disclosure of Mineral Properties ("NI 43-101") and other publicly availableinformation regarding the Company, including the following: (i) “NI 43-101 Technical Report on a Preliminary Economic Assessment of the Wassa Open Pit Mine andUnderground Project in Ghana” effective October 30, 2014 prepared by SRK Consulting (UK) Limited; (ii) “NI 43-101 Technical Report on Resources and Reserves, GoldenStar Resources Ltd., Bogoso Prestea Gold Mine, Ghana” effective December 31, 2013 prepared by SRK Consulting (UK) Limited, and (iii) Golden Star's press release datedFebruary 10, 2014.

— Golden Star is transforming to a lower cost producer— Higher cost Bogoso refractory operation to close late 2015— Wassa underground development reduces Wassa’s costs per oz

dramatically— Tailings retreatment has delivered lower cost oz— Development of Prestea mine is next logical development

— PEA indicates Prestea can deliver ~70k oz/ year for 4.5 yearsat average cost of $370 per oz for $40 million investment

— Expenditure of ~$80 million on Wassa and Prestea unlockssignificant value for shareholders— Realization of corporate strategy to favour margin over production

EXECUTING ON STRATEGY

Group Life of Mine CoC expected to reduce below $700/ oz from 2016
