Dear Shareholders,

I am writing to provide you with the details of the upcoming Annual General and Special Meeting of Shareholders (the "Meeting") of B2Gold Corp. (the "Company") that will be held on Thursday, June 20, 2024. The board of directors has established the close of business on Wednesday, May 1, 2024, as the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive notice and to vote at the Meeting and any adjournment(s) thereof.

The Meeting will be held in person at the Star Sapphire Ballroom, Fairmont Pacific Rim Hotel, 1038 Canada Place, Vancouver, British Columbia and in a virtual format conducted via live audio webcast online at https://web.lumiagm.com/410132572.

I encourage you to read the Management Information Circular dated May 8, 2024, as it contains important information about the Meeting and the business to be conducted at the Meeting.
