CAUTIONARY NOTE TO UNITED STATES INVESTORS CONCERNINGRESOURCE AND RESERVE ESTIMATES

The Annual Information Form of AuRico Gold Inc. (the
Corporation or the Registrant), filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this
Annual Report on Form 40-F, has been prepared in accordance with the
requirements of the securities laws in effect in Canada, which differ from the
requirements of United States securities laws. Unless otherwise indicated, all
reserve and resource estimates included in this Annual Report on Form 40-F have
been prepared in accordance with Canadian National Instrument 43-101  Standards
of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (NI 43-101) and the Canadian Institute of
Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum Classification System. The terms mineral
reserve, proven mineral reserve and probable mineral reserve are Canadian
mining terms as defined in accordance with NI 43-101. These definitions differ
from the definitions in the United States Securities and Exchange Commission
(SEC) Industry Guide 7 (SEC Industry Guide 7) under the United States
Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Under SEC Industry Guide 7 standards, a
final or bankable feasibility study is required to report reserves, the
three-year historical average price is used in any reserve or cash flow analysis
to designate reserves and the primary environmental analysis or report must be
filed with the appropriate governmental authority.

In addition, the terms mineral resource, measured mineral
resource, indicated mineral resource and inferred mineral resource are
defined in and required to be disclosed by NI 43-101. However, these terms are
not defined terms under SEC Industry Guide 7 and are normally not permitted to
be used in reports and registration statements filed with the SEC. Investors are
cautioned not to assume that any part or all of the mineral deposits in these
categories will ever be converted into reserves. Inferred mineral resources
have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence, and great uncertainty
as to their economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all or any
part of an inferred mineral resource will ever be upgraded to a higher category.
Under Canadian rules, estimates of inferred mineral resources may not form the
basis of feasibility or pre-feasibility studies, except in rare cases. Investors
are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource
exists or is economically or legally mineable. Disclosure of contained ounces
in a resource is permitted disclosure under Canadian regulations; however, the
SEC normally only permits issuers to report mineralization that does not
constitute reserves by SEC standards as in place tonnage and grade without
reference to unit measures.

Accordingly, information contained in this report and the
documents incorporated by reference herein containing descriptions of our
mineral deposits may not be comparable to similar information made public by
U.S. companies subject to the reporting and disclosure requirements under the
United States federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder.

CERTIFICATIONS AND DISCLOSURE
REGARDING CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

|(a) | Certifications. See Exhibits 99.4 and 99.5to this Annual Report on Form 40-F.
|--- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|    |                                                                              
|(b) | Disclosure Controls and
  Procedures.                                        

As of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on
Form 40-F, an evaluation was carried out under the supervision of and with the
participation of the Corporations management, including the Chief Executive
Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), of the effectiveness of the
design and operation of the Corporations disclosure controls and procedures (as
defined in Rule 13a  15(e) and Rule 15d  15(e) under the United States
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). Based on that evaluation, the CEO
and the CFO have concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this
Annual Report on Form 40-F, the Corporations disclosure controls and procedures
were effective in ensuring that: (i) information required to be disclosed by the
Corporation in reports that it files or submits to the SEC under the Exchange
Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods
specified in applicable rules and forms and (ii) material information required
to be disclosed in its reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and
communicated to its management, including its CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to
allow for accurate and timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

It should be noted that while the CEO and CFO believe that the
Corporations disclosure controls and procedures provide a reasonable level of
assurance that they are effective, they do not expect that the Corporations
disclosure controls and procedures or internal control over financial reporting
will prevent all errors and fraud. A control system, no matter how well
conceived or operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that
the objectives of the control system are met.

|(c) | Managements Annual Report on Internal Control Over
      Financial Reporting.
|--- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Corporation's management is responsible for establishing
and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in
Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. The Corporations internal
control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the
supervision of, the Corporations principal executive officer and principal
financial officer and effected by the Corporations board of directors,
management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the
reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements
for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over
financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any
evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that
controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the
degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Management conducted an evaluation of the design and operation
of the Corporations internal control over financial reporting as of December
31, 2013, based on the criteria set forth in Internal Control  Integrated
Framework (1992)issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the
Treadway Commission (COSO). This evaluation included review of the documentation
of controls, evaluation of the design effectiveness of controls, testing of the
operating effectiveness of controls and a conclusion on this evaluation. Based
on this evaluation, management has concluded that the Corporations internal
control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2013.

The effectiveness of the Corporations internal control over
financial reporting as at December 31, 2013 has been audited by KPMG LLP, as
stated in their Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm on the
Corporations internal control over financial reporting that accompanies the
Corporations Consolidated Audited Financial Statements for the fiscal year
ended December 31, 2013, filed as Exhibit 99.3to this
Annual Report on Form 40-F.

Audited Financial Statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, filed
as Exhibit 99.3 to this Annual Report on Form 40-F.

|(e) | Changes in Internal Control Over Financial
      Reporting.
|--- | -----------------------------------------------------------

During the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 40-F,
there have been no significant changes in internal control over financial
reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially
