(1) Includes depletion and depreciation.
(2) This represents 5,788 ounces of gold bullion inventory
 shown at June 30, 2016 closing market price of $1,321 per
 ounce of gold.

--  Revenues for the three and six-months ended June 30, 2016 were $59,649
    and $106,189, respectively, 40% and 27% increases compared to the
    corresponding prior year periods of $42,597 and $83,600, respectively.
    During the second quarter of 2016, ounces of gold sold increased by 39%
    to 49,681 ounces compared to sales of 35,665 ounces during the second
    quarter of 2015 due to the contribution of sales from Namoya partially
    offset by lower production at Twangiza. The average gold price per ounce
    sold during the second quarter of 2016 was $1,201 compared to an average
    price of $1,194 per ounce obtained during the second quarter of 2015.
    The average realized price for the second quarter of 2016 was lower than
    the average spot market price due to lower implied prices for stream
    revenues recognized.

--  Mine operating expenses, including depletion and depreciation, for the
    three and six-months ended June 30, 2016 were $52,042 and $96,450,
    respectively, compared to the corresponding prior year periods of
    $28,068 and $52,349, respectively. The increase is a result of the
    operating expenses attributable to Namoya which were treated as
    capitalized development costs throughout 2015. With the contribution of
    two operating mines, the increase in mine operating expenses
    attributable to depletion and depreciation was $8,404 and $14,249 for
    the three and six-months ended June 30, 2016, respectively.

--  Gross earnings from operations for the three and six-months ended June
    30, 2016 were $7,607 and $9,739, respectively, compared to $14,529 and
    $31,251 for the corresponding periods of 2015. The 40% and 27% increases
    in revenue for the three and six month periods ending June 30, 2016 were
    offset by 85% and 84% increases in mine operating expenses,
    respectively, as a result of the contribution from two mines, which were
    in-line with management expectations of the progressive ramp up of
    Namoya to steady state production and Twangiza's production profile
    being weighted to the second half of the year.

--  Consolidated EBITDA for the six-months ended June 30, 2016 was $28,563
    compared to $36,946 for the corresponding period of 2015, reflecting the
    lower production levels at Twangiza. The EBITDA at Twangiza was $11,721
    for the second quarter of 2016 compared to $18,724 for the corresponding
    prior year period reflecting lower production levels, which is expected
    to improve in H2 2016. Namoya's EBITDA of $7,920 was lower than the
    contribution from Twangiza as Namoya focused on higher levels of
    production in its mining and stacking operations coupled with the
    lagging effect of gold produced through the heap leach process. As a
    result, the consolidated EBITDA for the second quarter of 2016 was
    $18,571 as compared to $16,904 for the second quarter of 2015.

--  Cash costs per ounce on a sales basis for the first half of 2016 were
    $750 per ounce of gold, in line with guidance of $700 to $800 per ounce
    of gold, representing a 34% increase from $558 per ounce of gold in the
    first half of 2015. Cash costs per ounce on a sales basis for the second
    quarter of 2016 were $735 per ounce of gold, a 25% increase from $587
    per ounce of gold in the second quarter of 2015. Cash costs for the
    second quarter of 2016 were higher than the corresponding prior year
    period mainly due to the contributions from Namoya having a high cost
    per ounce as the operation ramps up to full production levels. Higher
    per ounce costs were also recorded at Twangiza due to higher mining
    costs from increased waste movement and lower production levels due to
    the processing of lower grade ore. This situation is expected to improve
    in H2 2016.

--  Net loss for the three and six-months ended June 30, 2016 of $13,486 and
    $36,620, respectively, were driven by the combination of non-cash items
    totaling approximately $5,900 and $15,300, respectively, relating
    primarily to fair value losses on mark-to-market derivative liabilities
    such as the gold forward sale agreements, and preferred shares, driven
    by improvements in the gold price environment and warrants driven by the
    increase in the share price of the Company, that were outside the normal
    course of operating activities in the quarter.

--  Mine site all-in sustaining costs for the first half of 2016 were $880
    per ounce (compared to $643 per ounce of gold in the first half of 2015)
    driven by higher cash costs and higher levels of sustaining capital
    expenditures per ounce. Mine site all-in sustaining costs for the second
    quarter of 2016 were $901 per ounce (compared to $701 per ounce of gold
    in the second quarter of 2015) driven by higher cash costs and higher
    levels of sustaining capital expenditures per ounce. The higher
    sustaining capital per ounce was driven by the decrease in production at
    Twangiza from Q2 2015.

(ii) Operational - Twangiza


--  During the second quarter of 2016, Twangiza experienced no loss time
    injury ("LTI").

--  During the second quarter of 2016, the plant at the Twangiza Mine
    processed 414,829 tonnes of ore (compared to 428,661 tonnes during the
    second quarter of 2015). Ore was processed during the second quarter of
    2016 at an indicated head grade of 2.75 g/t Au (compared to 3.01 g/t Au
    during the second quarter of 2015) with a recovery rate of 75.7%
    (compared to 82.2% during the second quarter of 2015) to produce 26,218
    (compared to 34,325 during the second quarter of 2015) ounces of gold.
    Gold production at Twangiza was in line with the mine plan where
    production is heavily weighted to the latter half of 2016 with more
    mining faces available and increased throughput from the fine crusher
    expansion project.

(iii) Operational - Namoya


--  Namoya gold production increased from 17,554 ounces in the first quarter
    of 2016 to 23,455 ounces in the second quarter of 2016, in line with our
    guidance to deliver steady state gold production in H2 2016. Namoya
    reached 9,201 ounces of gold poured in June 2016 with improved stacking
    and gold recoveries. Subsequent to quarter end, the operation delivered
    record stacking rates of 216,000 tonnes for the month of July, reaching
    design capacity.

--  During the second quarter of 2016, Namoya experienced no LTIs relating
    to employees and 1 LTI relating to contractors for a LTI frequency rate
    of 0.096.

--  During the second quarter of 2016, the plant at the Namoya Mine stacked
    485,319 tonnes of ore (compared to 330,267 tonnes during the second
    quarter of 2015). Ore stacked during the second quarter of 2016 had an
    indicated head grade of 2.03 g/t Au (compared to 1.53 g/t Au during the
    second quarter of 2015). Namoya produced 23,455 ounces of gold during
    the second quarter of 2016 (compared to 10,525 ounces of gold during the
    second quarter of 2015).

(iv) Exploration


--  During the second quarter of 2016, exploration activities were limited
    to low level regional exploration and the preparation for increased
    activity during the third quarter focusing on near mine exploration.

(v) Corporate Development


--  During the second quarter of 2016, the Company advanced planning and
    analysis on its potential hydro power projects relating to operations at
    both Twangiza and Namoya. It is expected that the hydro power projects
    would provide significant savings in power generation costs, reducing
    overall operating costs throughout the life of mine.

(vi) Subsequent Event


--  In July 2016, the Company entered into a gold dore purchase agreement
    (the "Dore Agreement") in connection with a $10,000 loan facility with
    Baiyin International Investment Ltd ("Baiyin"), an affiliate of RFW
    Banro Investments Limited ("RFWB"). RFWB currently owns approximately
    16.5% of the outstanding common shares of Banro. The loan facility is
    funded in two equal tranches, the first tranche was funded in July and
    the second tranche is to be funded on September 1, 2016. Under the Dore
    Agreement, Baiyin will purchase approximately 50% of the gold dore
    produced by Twangiza starting October 1, 2016 and 50% of the gold dore
    produced by Namoya from December 1, 2016 until the date the loan
    facility is repaid. The gold dore purchases under the Dore Agreement are
    at market prices.

--  The benefits of the Dore Agreement and related loan facility include:

    --  Securing debt with a maturity of up to 4 years in contrast to short-
        term amortizing loans often with maturities of less than 2 years;

    --  Diversifies the Company's offtake arrangements with an additional
        refinery at no additional cost; and

    --  Reduces selling costs associated with approximately 50% of the
        Company's gold production.

Qualified Person

Daniel K. Bansah, the Company's Head of Projects and Operations and a "qualified person" as such term is defined in National Instrument 43-101, has approved the technical information in this press release.

Non-IFRS Measures

Management uses cash cost, all-in sustaining costs, average gold price received, gold margin, and EBITDA to monitor financial performance and provide additional information to investors and analysts. These measures do not have a standard definition under International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. As these measures do not have a standardized meaning, they may not be comparable to similar measures provided by other companies. However, the methodology used by the Company to determine cash cost per ounce is based on a standard developed by the Gold Institute, which was an association which included gold mining organizations, amongst others, from around the world.

The Company defines cash cost, as recommended by the Gold Institute standard, as all direct costs that the Company incurs relating to mine production, transport and refinery costs, general and administrative costs, movement in production inventories and ore stockpiles, less depreciation and depletion. Cash cost per ounce is determined on a sales basis. The Company defines all-in sustaining costs as all direct costs that the Company incurs relating to mine production, transport and refinery costs, general and administrative costs, movement in production inventories and ore stockpiles, less depreciation and depletion plus all sustaining capital costs (excluding exploration). All-in sustaining cost per ounce is determined on a sales basis.

The Company defines gold margin as the difference between the cash cost per ounce disclosed and the average price per ounce of gold sold during the reporting period.

EBITDA is intended to provide additional information to investors and analysts to determine cash earnings before financing and taxes. Banro calculates EBITDA as net income or loss for the period excluding: interest, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, and other non-cash charges. EBITDA does not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. EBITDA excludes the impact of cash costs of financing activities and taxes, and the effects of changes in operating working capital balances, and therefore is not necessarily indicative of operating profit or cash flow from operations as determined under IFRS. Other companies may calculate EBITDA differently. A reconciliation between net profit for the period and EBITDA is presented below:

Banro Corporation is a Canadian gold mining company focused on production from the Twangiza mine, which began commercial production September 1, 2012, and on production at its second gold mine at Namoya, where commercial production was declared effective January 1, 2016. The Company's longer term objectives include the development of two additional major, wholly-owned gold projects, Lugushwa and Kamituga. The four projects, each of which has a mining license, are located along the 210 kilometre long Twangiza-Namoya gold belt in the South Kivu and Maniema provinces of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (the "DRC"). All business activities are followed in a socially and environmentally responsible manner.

Cautionary Note to U.S. Investors

The United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") permits U.S. mining companies, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose only those mineral deposits that a company can economically and legally extract or produce. Certain terms are used by the Company, such as "Measured", "Indicated", and "Inferred" "Resources", that the SEC guidelines strictly prohibit U.S. registered companies from including in their filings with the SEC. U.S. Investors are urged to consider closely the disclosure in the Company's Form 40-F, File No. 001-32399, which may be secured from the Company, or from the SEC's website at http://www.sec.gov/edgar.shtml.

Cautionary Note Concerning Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains forward-looking statements. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, that address activities, events or developments that the Company believes, expects or anticipates will or may occur in the future (including, without limitation, statements regarding potential hydro power projects, estimates and/or assumptions in respect of future gold production (including the timing thereof), costs, cash flow and gold recoveries, mineral resource and mineral reserve estimates, potential mineral resources and mineral reserves and the Company's production, development and exploration plans and objectives) are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements reflect the current expectations or beliefs of the Company based on information currently available to the Company. Forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that may cause the actual results of the Company to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements, and even if such actual results are realized or substantially realized, there can be no assurance that they will have the expected consequences to, or effects on the Company. Factors that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from current expectations include, among other things: uncertainty of estimates of capital and operating costs, production estimates and estimated economic return of the Company's projects; the possibility that actual circumstances will differ from the estimates and assumptions used in the economic studies of the Company's projects; failure to establish estimated mineral resources and mineral reserves (the Company's mineral resource and mineral reserve figures are estimates and no assurance can be given that the intended levels of gold will be produced); fluctuations in gold prices and currency exchange rates; inflation; gold recoveries being less than expected; uncertainties relating to the availability and costs of financing needed in the future; changes in equity markets; political developments in the DRC; lack of infrastructure; failure to procure or maintain, or delays in procuring or maintaining, permits and approvals; lack of availability at a reasonable cost or at all, of plants, equipment or labour; inability to attract and retain key management and personnel; changes to regulations affecting the Company's activities; the uncertainties involved in interpreting drilling results and other geological data; and the other risks disclosed under the heading "Risk Factors" and elsewhere in the Company's annual information form dated March 28, 2016 filed on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and EDGAR at www.sec.gov.

Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made and, except as may be required by applicable securities laws, the Company disclaims any intent or obligation to update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or results or otherwise. Although the Company believes that the assumptions inherent in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and accordingly undue reliance should not be put on such statements due to the inherent uncertainty therein.
