Cautionary Notes - Forward Looking Statements

No stock exchange, securities commission or other regulatory authority has approved or disapproved the information contained herein. Certain statements in this website are 'forward-looking statements', including within the meaning of the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. All statements other than statements of historical fact included in this website, including without limitation statements regarding forecast gold production, gold grades, recoveries, waste-to-ore ratios, total cash costs, potential mineralization and reserves, exploration results, and future plans and objectives of Alamos, are forward-looking statements based on forecasts of future operational or financial results, estimates of amounts not yet determinable and assumptions of management that involve various risks and uncertainties. Any statements that express or involve discussions with respect to predictions, expectations, beliefs, plans, projections, objectives, assumptions or future events or performance (often, but not always, using words or phrases such as 'expects' or 'does not expect', 'is expected', 'anticipates' or 'does not anticipate', 'plans', 'estimates' or 'intends', or stating that certain actions, events or results 'may', 'could', 'would', 'might' or 'will' be taken, occur or be achieved) are not statements of historical fact and may be 'forward-looking statements.' Alamos cautions that forward-looking information involves known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause Alamos' actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from those expressed or implied by such information, including, but not limited to, gold and silver price volatility; fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and interest rates; the impact of any hedging activities; discrepancies between actual and estimated production, between actual and estimated reserves and resources or between actual and estimated metallurgical recoveries; costs of production; capital expenditure requirements; the costs and timing of construction and development of new deposits; and the success of exploration and permitting activities. In addition, the factors described or referred to in the section entitled 'Risk Factors' in both Alamos Gold Inc.'s Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2014 and the Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2014 of AuRico Gold Inc., (each a predecessor to Alamos Gold Inc.), along with each of these entities' subsequent public filings available on the SEDAR website at www.sedar.com, should be reviewed in conjunction with the information found in this website. Although Alamos has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking information, there can be other factors that cause results, performance or achievements not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. There can be no assurance that such information will prove to be accurate or that management's expectations or estimates of future developments, circumstances or results will materialize. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking information.

Note to U.S. Investors

Alamos prepares its disclosure in accordance with the requirements of securities laws in effect in Canada, which differ from the requirements of U.S. securities laws. Terms relating to mineral resources in this website are defined in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects under the guidelines set out in the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy, and Petroleum Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves. The United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the 'SEC') permits mining companies, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose only those mineral deposits that a company can economically and legally extract or produce. Alamos may use certain terms, such as 'measured mineral resources', 'indicated mineral resources', 'inferred mineral resources' and 'probable mineral reserves' that the SEC does not recognize (these terms may be used in this website and are included in the public filings of Alamos, which have been filed with the SEC and the securities commissions or similar authorities in Canada).

Cautionary non-GAAP Measures and Additional GAAP Measures

Note that for purposes of this section, GAAP refers to IFRS. The Company believes that investors use certain non-GAAP and additional GAAP measures as indicators to assess gold mining companies. They are intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared with GAAP.
Additional GAAP measures that are presented on the face of the Company's consolidated statements of comprehensive income include 'Mine operating costs', 'Earnings from mine operations' and 'Earnings from operations'. These measures are intended to provide an indication of the Company's mine and operating performance. 'Cash flow from operating activities before changes in non-cash working capital' is a non-GAAP performance measure that could provide an indication of the Company's ability to generate cash flows from operations, and is calculated by adding back the change in non-cash working capital to 'Cash provided by (used in) operating activities' as presented on the Company's consolidated statements of cash flows. 'Free cash flow' is a non-GAAP performance measure that is calculated as cash flows from operations net of cash flows invested in mineral property, plant and equipment and exploration and evaluation assets as presented on the Company's consolidated statements of cash flows and that would provide an indication of the Company's ability to generate cash flows from its mineral projects. Return on Equity is defined as Earnings from Continuing Operations divided by the average Total Equity for the current and previous year. 'Mining cost per tonne of ore' and 'Cost per tonne of ore' are non-GAAP performance measures that could provide an indication of the mining and processing efficiency and effectiveness of the mine. These measures are calculated by dividing the relevant mining and processing costs and total costs by the tonnes of ore processed in the period. 'Cost per tonne of ore' is usually affected by operating efficiencies and waste-to-ore ratios in the period. 'Cash operating costs per ounce', 'total cash costs per ounce' and 'all-in sustaining costs per ounce' as used in this analysis are non-GAAP terms typically used by gold mining companies to assess the level of gross margin available to the Company by subtracting these costs from the unit price realized during the period. These non-GAAP terms are also used to assess the ability of a mining company to generate cash flow from operations. There may be some variation in the method of computation of these metrics as determined by the Company compared with other mining companies. In this context, 'cash operating costs per ounce' reflects the cash operating costs allocated from in-process and dore inventory associated with ounces of gold sold in the period. 'Cash operating costs per ounce' may vary from one period to another due to operating efficiencies, waste-to-ore ratios, grade of ore processed and gold recovery rates in the period. 'Total cash costs per ounce' includes 'cash operating costs per ounce' plus applicable royalties. Cash operating costs per ounce and total cash costs per ounce are exclusive of exploration costs. 'All-in sustaining costs per ounce' include total cash costs, exploration, corporate and administrative, share based compensation and sustaining capital costs. Non-GAAP and additional GAAP measures do not have a standardized meaning prescribed under IFRS and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. For a reconciliation of non-GAAP and GAAP measures, please refer to Alamos' Managements' Discussion and Analysis as presented on SEDAR and the Company's website.
