<P align=justify><B>Vancouver, February 13, 2017 &#150; </B>B2Gold Corp. (TSX: BTO,
NYSE MKT: BTG, NSX: B2G) (&#147;B2Gold&#148; or the &#147;Company&#148;)<B> </B>is pleased to
announce positive exploration results for its Kiaka and Fekola projects in West Africa
(Burkina Faso and Mali, respectively). All dollar figures are in United States
dollars unless otherwise indicated. </P>
<P align=justify>Following recent successes by the regional exploration programs
in Burkina Faso and Mali, B2Gold has budgeted $19.95 million in 2017 for ongoing
exploration of the Company&#146;s West African projects, an increase of $2.65 million
over the 2016 budget. </P>
<P align=justify>Recent results from the 2016 programs include:</P>

<P align=justify><B>Toega Prospect, Kiaka Regional Program </B></P>
<P align=justify>B2Gold has recently increased the footprint of known
mineralization at the Toega prospect, as part of the Kiaka deposit regional
exploration program in Burkina Faso. In 2016, a total of 19,433 metres of
combined reverse circulation and diamond drilling was completed, to better
define the limits of this discovery and to explore the immediate area for
additional mineralization. Last year&#146;s drilling expanded the known extents of
mineralization at Toega to over 900 metres long, by up to 425 metres wide, with
intersections of variable thickness occurring as deep as 250 metres below
surface. Mineralization remains open down dip and down plunge at Toega. Drilling
is ongoing. Due to the increased size of the Toega zone, the Company now expects
to release the initial mineral resource for Toega in the third quarter of 2017.
</P>
<P align=justify>Gold mineralization in the Toega zone is hosted by an easterly-dipping metasedimentary sequence, overprinted by shallowly northeast plunging
folds. Mineralized intervals in excess of 100 metres of core length (e.g.
NKRD020, 125 m at 1.66 g/t gold) are localized in a plunging, high-grade &#147;keel&#148;
to the mineralization, which may be related to structural thickening by folding.
Mineralized zones are characterized by disseminated pyrite, pyrrhotite, rare
chalcopyrite and locally, by fine visible gold, in association with quartz
veining.</P>

<P align=justify>A follow-up program of 5000 metres of diamond drilling is
currently underway at Toega, with additional assay results pending. More drill
results will be released as they become available. </P>
<P align=justify><B>Toega Development Study </B></P>
<P align=justify>Based on the positive results to date, B2Gold is undertaking
initial mineral resource modeling. Once mineral resource estimates are
available, in-house evaluations will commence to determine whether Toega
constitutes a potential source of higher-grade feed for the Kiaka deposit or
potentially a standalone project. Metallurgical, environmental and social
baseline studies were initiated at Toega in 2016, and these programs are planned
to continue throughout 2017. The 2017 development budget for Toega is $0.84
million. </P>
<P align=justify><B>Kiaka Project </B></P>
<P align=justify>About Kiaka:<I> </I></P>
<P align=justify>The Kiaka project is located in southcentral Burkina Faso,
approximately 140 kilometres southeast of the capital Ouagadougou. Kiaka is one
of the largest undeveloped gold resources in West Africa, and contains measured
mineral resource estimates of 27.3 million tonnes at 1.09 g/t gold for 953,000
ounces; indicated mineral resource estimates of 96.8 million tonnes at 0.96 g/t
gold for 2.99 million ounces; and inferred mineral resource estimates of 27.3
million tonnes at 0.93 g/t for 815,000 ounces<SUP>1</SUP>. </P>
<P align=justify>________________________________<BR><SUP>1</SUP> The mineral
resource estimate for the Kiaka project was prepared as of January 8, 2013 by
Ben Parsons, MSc, MAusIMM (CP), principal consultant for SRK Consulting (UK)
Limited, a Qualified Person as defined under NI 43-101. The estimate reflects
the attributable mineral resources based on B2Gold&#146;s 81% interest in the Kiaka
project. Mineral resources are estimated using best practices as defined by the
CIM and reporting of mineral resources is compliant and in accordance with the
disclosure requirements of NI 43-101. Mineral resources that are not mineral
reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. Due to the uncertainty
that may be attached to inferred mineral resources, it cannot be assumed that
all or any part of an inferred mineral resource will be upgraded to an indicated
or measured mineral resource as a result of continued exploration. Mineral
resource numbers have been rounded to reflect the accuracy of the estimates and
numbers may not add due to rounding.</P>

<P align=justify>Further engineering studies were completed in 2016 to assess
the optimum throughput rate for the Kiaka project and upgrading projected
capital and operating costs. </P>
<P align=justify>The current plan is to update the mineral-resource block model
later this year based on ongoing drilling and then use that model as the basis
for additional project evaluation. This will include re-evaluating project
economics and the potential impact of higher-grade ore being added from the
Toega zone. The 2017 development budget for Kiaka is approximately $2.7 million.

<P align=justify><B>Kiwi Zone, Fekola Regional Program </B></P>
<P align=justify>B2Gold&#146;s technical team believes that the large Fekola project
has the potential to host additional large Fekola-style gold deposits. The
Company&#146;s work to date has identified multiple<I> </I>targets. The Kiwi zone
adjoins mineralization currently contained within the proposed pit limits of the
Fekola deposit. Extending north from the pit for approximately 640 metres, Kiwi
hosts near-surface gold mineralization, which has recently been infilled with an
additional 18 reverse circulation drill holes, totalling approximately 2400
metres. Assay results are pending. This near-surface exploration, combined with
the planned follow up of FKD_188 at depth (4.60 m at 11.80 g/t gold from 240.10 metres - refer to B2Gold news release dated June 29, 2016), is part of an
initiative to advance near-term exploration targets that are proximal to
existing and planned Fekola mine infrastructure, with the goal of increasing the
Fekola mine life.</P>
<P align=justify><B>Anaconda/Adder Zones, Fekola Regional Program </B></P>
<P align=justify>Within the Fekola region, exploration has defined a significant
zone of saprolite-hosted gold mineralization across two contiguous target areas
known as Anaconda and Adder. At present, the footprint of the combined
Anaconda-Adder saprolite zone extends over 4.5 kilometres of strike and up to
500 metres wide at Anaconda and up to 200 metres wide at Adder. Within these
zones, saprolite occurs in flat-lying horizons varying from several metres to
over 40 metres thick. Mineralized intervals within the saprolite are variable in
thickness, but across both zones average approximately 13.5 metres in true
width. In 2016, 72,671 metres of combined aircore, reverse circulation and
diamond drilling were completed. At both Anaconda and Adder, drilling has been
completed on 40 metre x 40 metre spaced centres and locally, infilled by reverse
circulation and/or diamond holes at either 20 metre x 20 metre, or 5 metre x 5
metre centres to test the short range variability of mineralization. A program
of select aircore hole twinning by PQ diameter diamond core was completed in
late 2016/early 2017. The initial results of the twin diamond drilling program
favourably confirm the results of previous aircore drilling. </P>

<P align=justify><B>Saprolite Development Study </B></P>
<P align=justify>The Anaconda zone has the potential to be a low-cost operation
due to shared infrastructure and services from the nearby Fekola mine; soft
&#147;free digging&#148; ore, requiring no drilling and blasting; an unusually low strip
ratio; and very low milling requirements, due to the large percentage of fines
in the highly-weathered material. Preliminary in-house estimates indicate that
Anaconda could potentially produce between 80,000 and 100,000 ounces per year,
for several years. </P>
<P align=justify>A conceptual engineering study is underway for Anaconda. Fekola
capital and operating cost information is being used as a basis for the cost
estimates. A base case of four million tonnes per year will be developed, and
then larger and smaller cases will be factored depending on the estimated
mineral resource. Metallurgical test programs have been completed and will form
the basis of the design criteria for the processing plant. Environmental and
social baseline studies are underway and will continue throughout 2017. The
development budget for  Anaconda  is approximately $2.2 million for
2017. </P>
<P align=justify><B>Bedrock-hosted Mineralization </B></P>
<P align=justify>At Anaconda and Adder, exploration for Fekola-type gold-bearing
structures in the underlying bedrock is ongoing. The 2016 exploration program
has potentially identified several of the bedrock structures that have weathered
to create the extensive zone of saprolite-hosted gold mineralization at Anaconda
and Adder. Drilling has intersected intervals of sulphide-related gold
mineralization up to 22 metres in length in the bedrock underlying both the
Adder and Anaconda target areas. The full extent of these mineralized structures
is currently unknown and is subject to follow-up drilling that is ongoing. </P>
<P align=justify>Highlights from the 2016 Anaconda/Adder bedrock drilling
program include: </P>
