AMERICAN: BTG, NSX: B2G) (&#147;B2Gold&#148; or the &#147;Company&#148;) has filed with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission (the &#147;SEC&#148;) its SEC Annual Report on Form
40-F for the year ended December 31, 2017. The Form 40-F was filed on Friday,
March 23, 2018. This includes the Company&#146;s Annual Information Form, audited
Financial Statements and Management&#146;s Discussion &amp; Analysis for the year
ended December 31, 2017.</P>

<P align=justify><B>About B2Gold </B></P>
<P align=justify>Headquartered in Vancouver, Canada, B2Gold Corp. is the world&#146;s
new senior gold producer. Founded in 2007, today, B2Gold has five operating gold
mines and numerous exploration and development projects in various countries
including Nicaragua, the Philippines, Namibia, Mali, Burkina Faso, Colombia and
Finland.</P>
<P align=justify>B2Gold is well positioned in achieving transformational growth
in 2018. With the planned first full year of production from the large, low-cost
Fekola Mine in southwest Mali, consolidated gold production is forecast to be
between 910,000 and 950,000 ounces. This represents an increase in annual
consolidated gold production of approximately 300,000 ounces in 2018 versus
2017. B2Gold&#146;s forecast consolidated cash operating costs are expected to remain
low in 2018 (between $505 and $550 per ounce) and all-in sustaining costs are
expected to decrease by approximately 6% versus 2017 (between $780 and $830 per
ounce).</P>

information" and "forward-looking statements" (collectively "forward-looking
statements") within the meaning of applicable Canadian and United States

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 associated with the volatility of metal prices and our

B2Gold's other filings with Canadian securities regulators and the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), including the Form 40-F, which
may be viewed at www.sedar.com and www.sec.gov, respectively. 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,

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

</I></B><I>This news release
includes certain terms or performance measures commonly used in the mining
industry that are not defined under International Financial Reporting Standards
(&#147;IFRS&#148;), including &#147;cash operating costs&#148; and &#147;all-in sustaining costs&#148; (or

IFRS, and therefore they may not be comparable to similar measures employed by

information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute </I>for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS and should be read in conjunction with B2Gold&rsquo;s consolidated financial statements.
