Vancouver, BC, March 16, 2023 –B2Gold Corp. (TSX: BTO) (NYSE AMERICAN: BTG)
(NSX: B2G)
("B2Gold" or the "Company") has today filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "SEC") its SEC Annual Report on Form 40-F for the year ended
December 31, 2022. This includes the Company's Annual Information Form, audited
Financial Statements and Management's Discussion and statements regarding anticipated exploration, development, construction,
production, permitting and other activities and achievements of the Company, including but not limited to: the
conversion of inferred mineral resources to indicated mineral resources; the projections included in existing technical
reports, economic assessments and feasibility studies; the results of anticipated or potential new technical reports and
studies, including the potential findings and conclusions thereof. Estimates of mineral resources and reserves are also
forward-looking statements because they constitute projections regarding the amount of minerals that may be
encountered in the future and/or the anticipated economics of production, should a production decision be made. All
statements in this news release that address events or developments that we expect to occur in the future are
forwardlooking statements. Forward-looking statements are statements that are not historical facts and are generally,
although not always, identified by words such as “expect”, “plan”, “anticipate”, “project”, “target”, “potential”, “schedule”,
“forecast”, “budget”, “estimate”, “intend” or “believe” and similar expressions or their negative connotations, or that
events or conditions “will”, “would”, “may”, “could”, “should” or “might” occur. All such forward-looking statements are
based on the opinions and estimates of management as of the date such statements are made. Forward-looking
statements necessarily involve assumptions, risks and uncertainties, certain of which are beyond B2Gold’s control,
including risks and assumptions associated with the volatility of metal prices and our common shares; risks and dangers
inherent in exploration, development and mining activities; uncertainty of reserve and resource estimates; risk of not
achieving production, cost or other estimates; risk that actual production, development plans and costs differ materially
from the estimates in our feasibility studies; risks related to hedging activities and ore purchase commitments; the ability
to obtain and maintain any necessary permits, consents or authorizations required for mining activities; risks related to
environmental regulations or hazards and compliance with complex regulations associated with mining activities; the
ability to replace mineral reserves and identify acquisition opportunities; unknown liabilities of companies acquired by
B2Gold; ability to successfully integrate new acquisitions; fluctuations in exchange rates; availability of financing; risks
relating to financing and debt; risks related to operations in foreign and developing countries and compliance with
foreign laws; risks related to remote operations and the availability of adequate infrastructure, fluctuations in price and
availability of energy and other inputs necessary for mining operations; shortages or cost increases in necessary
equipment, supplies and labour; regulatory, political and country risks; risks related to reliance upon contractors, third
parties and joint venture partners; challenges to title or surface rights; dependence on key personnel and ability to
attract and retain skilled personnel; the risk of an uninsurable or uninsured loss; adverse climate and weather
conditions; litigation risk; competition with other mining companies; changes in tax laws; community support for our
operations including risks related to strikes and the halting of such operations from time to time; risks related to failures
of information systems or information security threats; ability to maintain adequate internal control over financial
reporting as required by law; risks relating to compliance with anti-corruption laws; as well as other factors identified
and as described in more detail under the heading “Risk Factors” in B2Gold’s most recent Annual Information Form
and B2Gold’s other filings with Canadian securities regulators and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the
“SEC”), which may be viewed at www.sedar.com and www.sec.gov, respectively (the “Websites”). The list is not
exhaustive of the factors that may affect the Company’s forward-looking statements. There can be no assurance that
such statements will prove to be accurate, and actual results, performance or achievements could differ materially from
those expressed in, or implied by, these forward-looking statements. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that any
events anticipated by the forward-looking statements will transpire or occur, or if any of them do, what benefits or
liabilities B2Gold will derive therefrom. The Company’s forward-looking statements reflect current expectations
regarding future events and operating performance and speak only as of the date hereof and the Company does not
assume any obligation to update forward-looking statements if circumstances or management's beliefs, expectations
or opinions should change other than as required by applicable law. The Company’s forward-looking statements are
based on the applicable assumptions and factors management considers reasonable as of the date hereof, based on
the information available to management at such time. These assumptions and factors include, but are not limited to,
assumptions and factors related to the Company's ability to carry on current and future operations, including
development and exploration activities; the timing, extent, duration and economic viability of such operations, including
any mineral resources or reserves identified thereby; the accuracy and reliability of estimates, projections, forecasts,
studies and assessments; the Company’s ability to meet or achieve estimates, projections and forecasts; the availability
and cost of inputs; the price and market for outputs, including gold; the timely receipt of necessary approvals or permits;
the ability to meet current and future obligations; the ability to obtain timely financing on reasonable terms when
required; the current and future social, economic and political conditions and other assumptions and factors generally
associated with the mining industry. For the reasons set forth above, undue reliance should not be placed on forward-
looking statements.
