Golden Star 2007 Annual Report Golden Star 2007 ANNUAL REPORT Gold, Production & Ghana Golden Star Resources Ltd. is a mid-tier gold mining company with two operating mines in Ghana, West Africa. Production is expected to increase from our record production of 246,278 ounces in 2007 to between 370,000 to 425,000 ounces of gold in 2008. Our history of exploration success, combined with appropriate acquisitions, will provide growth opportunities for the future. Our strategy of acquiring property during the down cycle of 1999 to 2002 helped Golden Star become the dominant holder of mining properties on the prolific Ashanti Gold Trend. This land position, combined with the commissioning of our Bogoso sulfide processing plant, is the basis for gold production expansion at the Bogoso/Prestea mine and the source of future growth of the company. The Wassa mine has shown steady quarter-over-quarter improvement. While the majority of focus on the Company is directed toward the Bogoso/Prestea mine, the Wassa mine is proving to be an excellent source of profitability for Golden Star. Shares of Golden Star are widely held by both retail and institutional shareholders and are traded on the American Stock Exchange, Toronto Stock Exchange and Ghana Stock Exchange under the symbols GSS, GSC and GSR, respectively.

Since 1999, when the manage- ment of the Company determined to transform the company from an exploration company into a gold producer, the growth of the Company has depended on Golden Star employees. The Bogoso sulfide processing plant will be the cornerstone of our growth in the future, and the Wassa mine continues to deliver positive results. Our employees are the fundamental drivers of our success, and our Ghanaian workforce is second to none.

Around the world, large-scale metals mining takes an enormous toll on the health of the environment and communities. Gold mining, in particular, is one of the dirtiest industries in the world. Massive open-pit mines, some measuring as much as two miles (3.2 kilometers) across, generate staggering quantities of waste—an average of 76 tons for every ounce of gold.1 In the US, metals mining is the leading contributor of toxic emissions to the environment.2 And in countries such as Ghana, Romania, and the Philippines, mining has also been associated with human rights violations, the displacement of people from their homes, and the disruption of traditional livelihoods.

The Company has two operating mines in Ghana, West Africa. Our Bogoso/Prestea and Wassa mines, acquired in 1999 and 2002, respectively, were both purchased during a low gold price environment, allowing the Company to acquire both properties at relatively attractive prices. The Company is the largest holder of mining properties on the prolific Ashanti Gold Trend. The HBB properties were acquired in late 2005. Both Bogoso/Prestea and Wassa/HBB are district-scale sized properties with excellent infrastructure in place. Golden Star’s growth strategy is to explore and develop our two mines in Ghana as well as explore other prospective projects in Western Africa and Brazil. Additionally, the Company will investigate potential acquisitions that are accretive to shareholder value. Shares of Golden Star are widely held by both retail and institutional shareholders and are traded on the NYSE Amex Stock Exchange, Toronto Stock Exchange and Ghana Stock Exchange under the symbols GSS, GSC and GSR, respectively.
