MESSAGE FROM CLIVE On behalf of everyone at B2Gold, I would like to thank and congratulate everyone who participated in the 2015 B2Gold Big Brothers Golf Classic. We had gorgeous weather and the course at Shaughnessy Golf and Country Club was flawless. Due to the generosity of our sponsors and participants in both the golf and the auction that followed, we were able to raise over $360,000 for Big Brothers. As with previous years, the event was organized and well executed, with great activities, food and beverages throughout the course. The feedback was overwhelmingly positive. I would like to thank the Shaughnessy Club management and Pro Shop staff for their professional treatment of our group and congratulate them on the outstanding condition of their golf course. After golf, guests bid on a vast selection of silent auction items and were able to enjoy another wonderful meal put on by the talented culinary staff at Shaughnessy. This year we were fortunate enough to have Yvonne Schalle of Global BC Television and Brock Hunter of NEWS 1130 emcee the banquet dinner. It was also a pleasure to have a Little Brother and his mom join us for dinner and speak about the positive influence Big Brothers has had on their lives.
for their unwavering support to make this a very successful event. I would also like to thank our corporate and individual sponsors for their generous support at the silent auction. You never fail to step up for this event and it make it all possible. Finally, I would like to extend my personal gratitude to Valerie, Tracey Barr of Big Brothers, and my Executive Assistant Aishalyn Sayer who, once again, came together to plan and create such a special event. B2Gold is proud to associate with the Big Brothers Organization, working together for the benefit of this charity that plays such an important role in the lives of so many young men. We hope you can all join us again, and bring along your friends and colleagues.
Sincerely,
Clive Johnson President, CEO and Director B2Gold Corp.
It goes without saying that this event would not be possible without the tireless work of the impressive Big Brothers team lead by Valerie Lambert. We would like to thank them, their volunteers and the staff at Shaughnessy Golf and Country Club

THE BANQUET After the cocktail reception, golfers gathered at the banquet to celebrate the tournament with an impressive buffet-style banquet dinner, hosted by Masters of Ceremonies Yvonne Schalle of Global BC Television and Brock Hunter of NEWS 1130. Golfers enjoyed photos from the day’s events, followed by a welcome message from Big Brothers of Greater Vancouver Executive Director, Valerie Lambert. Title Sponsor B2Gold continues to play a significant role in our golf tournament. We were delighted to have President, CEO and Director, Clive Johnson deliver a message about the importance of mentoring and B2Gold’s dedication to our community and communities across the globe. A supporter of Big Brothers for over 17 years, Clive spoke of the values shared by the agency and by B2Gold. Next, Little Brother Luca and his mother Suzanne shared a few words about the impact the program has had on their lives. Their story was so inspiring that it resulted in 22 matches being adopted by guests in attendance.
