Exhibit 99.1
Golden Star Reports Financial Results
for the First Quarter of 2014
Toronto, ON May 7, 2014 Golden Star Resources Ltd. (NYSE MKT: GSS; TSX: GSC; GSE: GSR) (Golden Star or the Company) today reported its financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 (the first quarter or the period). All references to currency are to US dollars.
Highlights of these results are as follows:
| Gold sold during the first quarter declined to 65,812 ounces, from 75,430 ounces sold during the fourth quarter 2013 (the prior quarter) due to lower grade ore processed |
| Revenues for the first quarter decreased to $85.0 million from $96.0 million in the prior quarter due to fewer ounces sold |
| Cost of sales excluding depreciation and amortization for the first quarter of 2014 decreased to $84.3 million from $88.5 million in the prior quarter, the third consecutive quarter of lower costs |
| Consolidated cash operating costs per ounce1 were $1,206 for the first quarter, compared to $1,091 per ounce for the prior quarter, primarily as a result of lower ounces produced |
| Adjusted net loss attributable to shareholders1 for the first quarter of 2014 totaled $12.2 million, compared to an adjusted net loss attributable to shareholders of $6.5 million for the prior quarter |
| Consolidated cash balance at quarter end of $57.8 million, with $10 million remaining undrawn on existing loan facility |
| Betterment stripping at Bogoso is substantially complete, with gold production expected to improve over the remainder of the year as we expect higher grade and better recovery ore to be supplied to the plant going forward |
| Operational efficiencies and productivity gains at Wassa continues to deliver results |
Exploration drilling at Wassa continues to yield positive results, PEA of underground mining at Wassa expected in the third quarter
1 | See Non GAAP Financial Measures. |
Sam Coetzer, President and CEO of Golden Star, commented:
We knew at the beginning of 2014 that the first quarter would be a challenge with high stripping costs and low ore grades. Overall I am satisfied with what we achieved in this period
150 King Street West | Sun Life Financial Tower | Suite 1200 | Toronto ON M5H 1J9
and believe that the foundation is now set for gold production to increase and costs to decrease going forward. At Bogoso, the bulk of the stripping is behind us, and mining will now be focused on higher grade ore. At Wassa, the new single pit has been established, a fleet of larger equipment has been moved from Bogoso to this pit and, toward the end of the quarter, productivity gains and associated lower costs per tonne were achieved. As a result, mine operating costs are expected to decrease further and gold production is expected to increase over the remainder of the year. At $1,300 per ounce, we expect to generate positive operating cash flow going forward in 2014. Wassas exploration program at depth continues to deliver exciting results and, accordingly, this remains central to our strategy of transforming our business to being a lower cost non-refractory producer.
The Company will conduct a conference call and webcast today to discuss these results at 10:00 am EDT.

Review of Financial Performance
Revenues for the first quarter of 2014 decreased to $85.0 million compared to $96.0 million in the prior quarter, due to fewer ounces of gold sold. The gold price traded in a tight range during the period with an average realized gold price of $1,292 per ounce in the first quarter of 2014 compared to $1,273 in the fourth quarter 2013.
Mine operating expenses for the first quarter of 2014 decreased to $82.9 million from $84.8 million in the prior quarter due to lower haulage and contractor costs. The Company expects mine operating expense to continue to decrease for the remainder of 2014, as a result of production from the Father Brown pit coming to an end in the second quarter thereby eliminating the haulage costs from this pit, and also due to the reduced stripping at Bogoso as the push backs are now substantially complete.
Consolidated cash operating cost per ounce totaled $1,206 per ounce for the first quarter of 2014, compared to cash operating cost per ounce of $1,091 per ounce for the prior quarter. Wassas cash operating cost per ounce totaled $955 per ounce in the first quarter of 2014 and Bogosos cash operating cost per ounce increased to $1,489 per ounce for the first quarter of 2014. Mine operating expenses were lower at both operations, but cash operating costs per ounce were impacted by fewer ounces of gold produced.
Adjusted net loss attributable to Golden Star shareholders for the first quarter of 2014 totaled $12.2 million, compared to an adjusted net loss attributable to Golden Star shareholders of $6.5 million in the prior quarter. As a result of lower gold sales partially offset by lower depreciation expense, net income was negatively impacted by a non-cash fair value loss on the Companys 5% Convertible Debentures for the first quarter of 2014 of $10.2 million compared to a non-cash fair value gain in the prior quarter of $1.6 million.
Cash used by operations before working capital changes totaled $6.2 million for the first quarter of 2014. Capital expenditures at Wassa and Bogoso for the first quarter totaled $12.2 million, including $4.2 million of betterment stripping relating to the push backs at Bogoso. Remaining capital expenditure for the year is expected to be approximately $38 million.
Consolidated cash balance was $57.8 million at March 31, 2014. Cash generated by operations and working capital is expected to improve over the remainder of the year as the Chujah pushback is substantially completed and access to higher grade ore at Bogoso is achieved.

Gold produced and sold totaled 34,838 ounces for first quarter of 2014, a 21% decrease from the 44,337 ounces sold during the last quarter of 2013. Lower production was primarily a result of 20% lower grade processed as the high grade Father Brown pit contributed relatively less to the total tonnes processed. This reduction was anticipated as this pit is reaching the end of its current mine life in the second quarter of 2014, and ore supply will be from the Wassa Main pit only going forward. Ore tonnes mined increased in the period with a larger fleet and operational efficiencies in the Wassa Main pit. Ore tonnes processed and recoveries were slightly lower than in the prior quarter.
Cost of sales excluding depreciation and amortization for Wassa totaled $35.5 million in the first quarter of 2014, $6.4 million lower than the $41.9 million incurred during fourth quarter of 2013. The lower cost of sales is mainly related to lower mine operating expenses incurred. Mine operating expenses were lower at $34.1 million, relative to $39.2 million in the fourth quarter 2013 due to a reduction of contract mining used.
5
Wassas resulting cash operating cost per ounce for the first quarter of 2014 totaled $955 per ounce, up 8% from $881 per ounce in the prior quarter.
Capital expenditures for the first quarter of 2014 totaled $4.1 million of which $3.0 million was spent on development drilling below the Wassa Main pit. A further $15 million in capital expenditures are forecast at Wassa for the remainder of the year.

Bogoso gold production and sales were flat from the prior quarter and totaled 30,974 ounces for the first quarter of 2014. Refractory gold produced increased to 26,010 ounces in the first quarter of 2014, as total refractory tonnes mined and processed increased along with the average grade processed. Recoveries also increased as expected with the higher grade processed. This is a direct result of the improved access to ore in the Bogoso North and Chujah pits. The strip ratio in the refractory pits reduced from 9.4 in the fourth quarter last year to 7.9 in the first quarter 2014 as the push backs in these pits approached completion. Non-refractory gold produced was solely from tailings retreatment which continues to perform according to expectations.
Bogosos cost of sales excluding depreciation and amortization totaled $48.8 million for the first quarter of 2014, up marginally from $46.7 million for the prior quarter. Similarly mine operating expenses totaled $48.9 million, 7% higher than the $45.6 million incurred in the fourth quarter of 2013, primarily as a result of higher contract mining costs incurred in the first quarter of 2014. Mining costs are expected to decrease during the remainder of the year as the strip ratios decrease at the Chujah and Bogoso North pits.
Cash operating cost per ounce totaled $1,489 per ounce for the first quarter of 2014, compared to $1,391 per ounce in the fourth quarter of 2013. These costs are expected to decrease over the remainder of the year.
Capital expenditures for the first quarter of 2014 totaled $8.1 million of which $2.7 million was incurred on Prestea Underground and $4.2 million of capitalized betterment stripping at the Chujah pit. The push back of the Chujah pitwall commenced in 2012 to improve access to higher grade ore. This stripping continued during the first quarter of 2014 and is now substantially complete.
Review of Development Projects
Wassa
Drilling continued in the first quarter with two drill rigs working on step out directional drilling and an additional two drill rigs concentrating on infill drilling beneath the Wassa Main pit. Drilling results received for the first quarter were from 15 holes totaling 8,828 meters with an additional six holes for 3,290 meters either still being drilled or pending assays. Step out drilling confirms that high grade gold mineralization at Wassa continues down plunge, with high grade mineralization encountered 450 meters south of the current Wassa ore body. Significant grades (ranging from 3.7 grams per tonne (g/t) of gold (Au) to 6.5 g/t Au) and widths have been encountered in a step out fence 200 meters south of the last step out fence, which in turn was 250 meters south of the current Wassa ore body. Infill drilling shows wide zones of significant grades, ranging from 3.9 g/t Au to 11.4 g/t Au, between existing high grade drill intercepts. The first phase of infill drilling is expected to be completed by the end of the second quarter of 2014. Please refer to the Companys press release dated January 31, 2014 entitled Wassa drilling program extends high grade mineralized zone 250 meters to the south.
7
In January 2014, the Company commenced the Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) to determine the economic viability of an underground operation beneath the Wassa pit. This PEA will evaluate the economic potential of the Mineral Resource as it was defined on 31 December 2013 and will therefore not include any potential resources as intersected by recent step out and infill drilling. It is expected that this PEA will be completed during the third quarter of 2014.
Outlook
This quarter of lower production was anticipated as mining transitioned into a new lower grade but higher productivity pit at Wassa and the push backs at Bogoso were substantially completed. All processing plants are running at expected levels and at Bogoso the refractory plant has achieved throughput above expectations. Mine operating expenses have decreased over the quarter and we expect this trend to continue going forward in 2014 as we continue to reduce costs at Bogoso and improve productivity at Wassa.
The remainder of the year will be focused on realizing returns from the investment in push backs at Bogoso and further increasing productivity at Wassa. The results of the PEA on underground mining at Wassa are expected within the third quarter and will be communicated with shareholders.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In this press release, we use the terms cash operating cost per ounce, and adjusted net loss attributable to Golden Star shareholders. Cash operating cost per ounce and adjusted net loss attributable to Golden Star shareholders should be considered as non-GAAP financial measures as defined in applicable Canadian and United States securities laws and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Cost of sales excluding depreciation and amortization as found in the statements of operations includes all mine-site operating costs, including the costs of mining, ore processing, maintenance, work-in-process inventory changes, mine-site overhead as well as production taxes, royalties, and by-product credits, but excludes exploration costs, property holding costs, corporate office general and administrative expenses, foreign currency gains and losses, gains and losses on asset sales, interest expense, gains and losses on derivatives, gains and losses on investments and income tax expense/benefit.
Cash operating cost per ounce for a period is equal to Cost of sales excluding depreciation and amortization for the period less royalties and production taxes, minus the cash component of metals inventory net realizable value adjustments divided by the number of ounces of gold sold during the period. We use cash operating cost per ounce as a key operating indicator. We monitor this measure monthly, comparing each months values to prior quarters values to detect trends that may indicate increases or decreases in operating efficiencies. We provide this measure to investors to allow them to also monitor operational efficiencies of the Companys mines. We calculate this measure for both individual operating units and on a consolidated basis. Since cash operating costs do not incorporate revenues, changes in working capital and non-operating cash costs, they are not necessarily indicative of operating profit or cash flow from operations as determined under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).
In order to indicate to stakeholders the Companys earnings excluding the non-cash (gain)/loss on the fair value of debentures and non-cash impairment charges, the Company calculates adjusted net loss attributable to Golden Star shareholders to supplement the condensed interim consolidated financial statements.
Changes in numerous factors including, but not limited to, our share price, risk free interest rates, gold prices, mining rates, milling rates, ore grade, gold recovery, costs of labor, consumables and mine site general and administrative activities can cause these measures to increase or decrease. The Company believes that these measures are similar to the measures of other gold mining companies, but may not be comparable to similarly titled measures in every instance.
In the current market environment for gold mining equities, many investors and analysts are more focused on the ability of gold mining companies to generate free cash flow from current operations, and consequently the Company believes these measures are useful non-IFRS operating metrics (non-GAAP measures) and supplement the IFRS disclosures made by the Company. These measures are not representative of all of Golden Stars cash expenditures as they do not include income tax payments or interest
9
costs. There is material limitations associated with the use of such non-GAAP measures. Since these measures do not incorporate all non-cash expense and income items, changes in working capital and non-operating cash costs, they are not necessarily indicative of operating profit or cash flow from operations as determined under IFRS.
For additional information regarding the Non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company, please refer to the heading Non-GAAP Financial Measures in the Companys Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for the Three Months ended March 31, 2014 and the Companys Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for the Year Ended December 31, 2013, available at www.sedar.com.
