Consolidated Financial Statements 
 September 30, 2016 and 2015 

(Unaudited – in United States dollars, unless otherwise indicated, tables stated in millions of United States dollars)

 Alamos Gold Inc., a company
incorporated under the Business Corporation Act (Ontario), and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively the “Company”) are engaged in the acquisition, exploration, development and extraction of precious metals. The Company owns and
operates the Young-Davidson mine in Canada, and the Mulatos and El Chanate mines in Mexico. In addition, the Company owns the Ağ1 Dağ1, Kirazl1 and Çamyurt gold development projects in Turkey, the Lynn Lake gold project in Canada, the Esperanza gold project in Mexico,

 Alamos is a publicly traded
company with common shares listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX: AGI) and the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: AGI). 
 The
Company’s registered office is located at 181 Bay St, Suite 3910, Toronto, Ontario, M5J 2T3. 
  

	2.	 BASIS OF PREPARATION 

 
 Statement of Compliance 

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting (“IAS
34”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). These statements were prepared using the same accounting policies and methods of computation as the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year
ended December 31, 2015, except as noted below. 
 These condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not include all
disclosures required by International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) for annual consolidated financial statements and accordingly should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for
the year ended December 31, 2015 prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB. 
 The Company adopted the following
accounting standards and amendments to accounting standards, effective January 1, 2016: 
 Amendments to IAS 16, Property, Plant and
Equipment and IAS 38, Intangibles. These amendments prohibit the use of revenue-based depreciation methods for property, plant and equipment and limit the use of revenue-based amortization for intangible assets. These amendments had no
impact on the Company’s condensed interim consolidated financial statements as revenue-based depreciation or amortization methods are not used. 

Amendments to IFRS 11, Joint Arrangements. The amendments clarify the accounting for acquisitions of an interest in a joint operation
when the operation constitutes a business. The amendment had no impact on the condensed interim consolidated financial statements. 
 Future
accounting standard amendments not effective as of September 30, 2016: 
 Amendments to IFRS 2, Share-based payments. These
amendments provide requirements on the accounting for: the effects of vesting and non-vesting conditions on the measurement of cash-settled share-based payments; share-based payment transactions with a net
settlement feature for withholding tax obligations; and a modification to the terms and conditions of a share-based payment that changes the classification of the transaction from cash-settled to equity-settled. These amendments are effective for
the annual period beginning on January 1, 2018. The extent of the impact of adoption of the standard has not yet been determined. 

The condensed interim consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on November 8, 2016.

	3.	 ACQUISITION OF CARLISLE GOLDFIELDS LTD. 

 
 On January 7, 2016, the Company
acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Carlisle Goldfields Limited (“Carlisle”) not previously owned by the Company, by way of a court-approved plan of arrangement (the “Arrangement”). 

Under terms of the Arrangement, Carlisle shareholders received: 
  

	 	(i)	 0.0942 of an Alamos common share for each Carlisle common share held, plus 

 

	 	(ii)	 0.0942 of a warrant to purchase Alamos common shares at an exercise price of CAD$10.00 with an expiration date
of January 7, 2019. 

 Upon closing of the transaction, the Company issued 4,142,087 shares and 4,142,087 share
purchase warrants as part of the consideration. In addition, the Company issued 645,952 common shares as payment for the change of control obligations for departing management. Total consideration for the acquisition was $20.4 million (net of
cash received), including transaction costs. 
 Management determined that the acquisition of Carlisle did not meet the definition of a
business combination in accordance with IFRS 3, Business Combinations. Accordingly, the Company has accounted for the transaction as an asset acquisition. The principal asset acquired in the transaction is an interest in the Lynn Lake
project. Upon completion of the acquisition, the Company owns a 100% interest in the Lynn Lake project. 
 The allocation of the purchase
price (based on the consideration paid on January 7, 2016) to the net assets acquired is as follows: 
  

					
	 Consideration transferred
	  			
	 Common shares issued
	  	$	17.5	  
	 Warrants issued
	  	 	2.8	  
	 Share-based compensation
	  	 	0.4	  
	 Transaction costs
	  	 	0.4	  
		  	  
	  
	 
		  	$	21.1	  
		  	  
	  
	 
	 Net assets acquired
	  			
	 Cash and cash equivalents
	  	$	0.7	  
	 Current assets, excluding cash and cash equivalents
	  	 	0.6	  
	 Mineral property, plant and equipment
	  	 	19.9	  
	 Current liabilities
	  	 	(0.1	) 
		  	  
	  
	 
		  	$	21.1	  
		  	  
	  
	 

 In November 2014, the Company entered into an agreement with Carlisle to acquire a 25% interest in the Lynn
Lake gold project in exchange for consideration of $4.4 million (CAD$5.0 million), which the Company classified as mineral property, plant and equipment. In conjunction with this transaction, a private placement was completed whereby the
Company paid $5.0 million (CAD $5.6 million) in exchange for a 19.9% interest in Carlisle. On completion of the Arrangement in January 2016, the Company reclassified this investment in associate of Carlisle to mineral property, plant and
equipment. Additionally, the Company spent $9.5 million on the Lynn Lake project from November 2014 up to the close of the transaction, which was recorded within mineral property, plant and equipment.

	(a)	 Revolving credit facility 

On March 22, 2016, the Company amended and restated its existing $150.0 million credit facility, extending the maturity from
April 26, 2016 to February 29, 2020. The amended facility consists of a committed $150.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Facility”), with an option to draw an additional $70.0 million, subject to commitments
from existing and/or new lenders. The terms of the Facility reflect a reduction in pricing and removal of certain covenants compared to the previous facility. The Facility bears an interest at a rate of Libor plus 2.125% to 3.125% on drawn amounts
and 0.48% to 0.70% on undrawn amounts, based on the Company’s net leverage ratio (net indebtedness to EBITDA), as defined in the agreement. 

The Facility is secured by a first ranking lien on all material present and future assets, property and undertakings of the Company. The
Facility contains various covenants customary for a loan facility of this nature, including limits on indebtedness, asset sales and liens. It contains financial covenant tests that include (a) a minimum interest coverage ratio of 3.0:1.0 and
(b) a maximum net leverage ratio of 3.5:1.0, both as defined in the agreement. As at September 30, 2016, the Company is in compliance with the covenants. 
  

	(b)	 Senior secured notes 

On March 27, 2014, the Company completed an offering of $315.0 million senior secured notes (the “secured notes”), secured
by a second-ranking lien on all present and future assets, property and undertakings of the Company. The secured notes were sold at 96.524% of par, resulting in total proceeds of $304.1 million. The secured notes pay interest in semi-annual
installments on April 1 and October 1 of each year, commencing on October 1, 2014, at a rate of 7.75% per annum, and mature on April 1, 2020. The Company incurred transaction costs of $7.8 million, which have been offset
against the carrying amount of the secured notes and are amortized using the effective interest rate method. These notes contain transaction-based restrictive covenants that limit the Company’s ability to incur additional indebtedness in
certain circumstances. There are no covenants that are based on the Company’s historical financial performance. 
 The senior secured
notes indenture grants the Company the option to prepay the notes prior to the maturity of the instruments, and specifies a premium during each applicable time period. These prepayment options have been accounted for as embedded derivatives, and are
outlined below: 
  

	•	 	 Subsequent to April 1, 2017, the secured notes may be repurchased at 103.875% of par value

  

	•	 	 Subsequent to April 1, 2018, the secured notes may be repurchased at 101.938% of par value

  

	•	 	 Subsequent to April 1, 2019, the secured notes may be repurchased at 100% of par value

 The fair value of the prepayment option embedded derivative was $6.0 million at March 27, 2014, and was
offset against the carrying amount of the secured notes. As at September 30, 2016, the fair value of the prepayment option embedded derivative was $10.3 million (December 31, 2015 – $0.1 million) and was offset against the carrying
amount of the secured notes. The Company recorded a gain of $8.4 million and $10.2 million for the three and nine-months ended September 30, 2016 (three and nine-months ended September 30, 2015 – $4.1 million loss and
$1.5 million loss), which is recorded in Other gain.

 The following table lists the equity securities excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share. The
securities were excluded as the exercise price relating to the particular security exceeded the average market price of the Company’s common shares of CAD $11.34 and CAD $8.59 for the three and nine-months ended September 30, 2016, or the
inclusion of the equity securities had an anti-dilutive effect on net loss. 
 For the periods in which the Company records a loss, diluted
loss per share is calculated using the basic weighted average number of shares outstanding, as using the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding in the calculation would be anti-dilutive.

On March 29, 2016, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a dividend of $0.01 per share, or $2.7 million payable to
shareholders of record on April 15, 2016, and paid on April 29, 2016. 
 On September 30, 2016, the Company’s Board of
Directors approved a dividend of $0.01 per share, or $2.7 million payable to shareholders of record on October 14, 2016, and paid on October 31, 2016. 
  

	(g)	 Share purchase warrants 

The Company has 7.2 million share purchase warrants outstanding related to the Esperanza acquisition in 2013. The warrants have an
exercise price of CAD$28.46 per common share, and expire on August 30, 2018. 
 The warrants are classified as a derivative liability
recorded at fair value through profit or loss, due to the currency of the exercise price of the warrants. The warrants are priced in Canadian dollars, which is not the functional currency of the Company. Therefore the warrants are fair valued using
the market price with gains or losses recorded in net loss. 
 In addition, as described in note 3, the Company issued 4.1 million
warrants as consideration for the acquisition of Carlisle. The warrants have an exercise price of CAD$10.00, and expire on January 7, 2019. The warrants are recorded as equity, in accordance with IFRS 2, Share-based payments. The Company
has 4.6 million share purchase warrants (“Warrants”) outstanding related to the Carlisle acquisition.

	13.	 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT 

 
 Fair values of financial instruments

 The following table sets forth the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis
by level within the fair value hierarchy. The Company does not have any non-recurring fair value measurements. Levels 1 to 3 of the fair value hierarchy are defined based on the degree to which fair value
inputs are observable or unobservable, as follows: 
  

	•	 	 Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

  

	•	 	 Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for
the net asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and 

  

	•	 	 Level 3 inputs are unobservable (supported by little or no market activity).

 The methods of measuring each of these financial assets and liabilities have not changed during the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2016. The Company does not have any financial assets or liabilities measured at fair value based on unobservable inputs (Level 3). 

The fair value of option contracts is determined using a market approach with reference to observable market prices for identical assets
traded in an active market. These are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The use of reasonably possible alternative assumptions would not significantly affect the Company’s results. 

The fair values of financial instruments measured at amortized cost, except for the senior secured notes, approximate their carrying amounts
at September 30, 2016. The fair value of the senior secured notes was $328.4 million at September 30, 2016 compared to a carrying value of $296.4 million, which includes the value of the prepayment option embedded derivative. The
fair value of this liability was determined using a market approach with reference to observable market prices for identical assets traded in an active market. 

The Company seeks to manage its exposure to fluctuations in commodity prices, interest rates and foreign exchange rates by entering into
derivative financial instruments from time to time. 
  

	(a)	 Gold option and forward contracts 

As at September 30, 2016, the Company held option contracts to protect against the risk of a decrease in the value of the gold price.

 Capital commitments 

As of September 30, 2016, the Company has $5.4 million in committed capital purchases (December 31, 2015 – $8.2 million).

 Royalties 
 Production from certain
concessions within the Salamandra district, including the Mulatos Mine, is subject to a production royalty payable to Royal Gold at a rate of 5% of the value of gold and silver production, less certain deductible refining and transportation costs
(the “Royal Gold royalty”). Production to a maximum of two million ounces of gold is subject to the Royal Gold royalty. As at September 30, 2016, the royalty was paid or accrued on approximately 1.6 million ounces of applicable
gold production. Royalty expense related to the Royal Gold royalty was $2.2 million and $6.2 million, respectively for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 (2015 – $1.6 million for three and nine months ended
September 30). In addition, royalty expense includes the 0.5% Extraordinary Mining Duty, which totaled $0.2 million and $0.6 million, respectively for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, payable to the Mexican
government (2015- $0.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30). 
 The Company is required to pay AuRico Metals a
1.5% net smelter royalty on production from the Young-Davidson mine effective July 2, 2015. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company recorded a royalty expense of $0.9 million and $2.4 million (2015

portion of the Company’s Turkish projects. The Company has not recorded an accrual for this royalty at September 20, 2016 as the project is not in production. The Company is also subject to 2% state royalty on production in Turkey based on
current gold prices, subject to certain deductions. 
 In addition, a third party has a 3% Net Smelter Royalty on production from the
Company’s Esperanza Gold Project. The Company has not recorded an accrual for this royalty at September 30, 2016, as the project is not in production.

	15.	 CHANGES TO COMPARATIVE PRESENTATION 

 
 The condensed interim consolidated
statement of cash flows for three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 reflects the retrospective application of a voluntary change in accounting policy adopted in 2015 to classify, in the consolidated statements of cash flows, interest
paid as a financing activity, instead of within operating activities, as previously reported. The change in accounting policy was adopted in accordance with IAS 7, Statement of Cash Flows, which provides a policy choice to classify interest
paid as either an operating activity, or a financing activity. The Company considers the classification of these interest payments within financing activities to be the most useful to financial statement users and, consequently, that this
presentation results in reliable and more relevant information. 
 The following table outlines the effect of this accounting policy change
for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015:

 Key Business Developments 

 
 EIA Approval for La Yaqui Project 

On October 6, 2016, Alamos reported it has received final approval of the Environmental Impact Assessment (“EIA”) for Phase I of
its La Yaqui project. Construction activities for the development of Phase I are expected to commence later this year with initial production on track for mid-2017. 

Significant Interim Increase in Mineral Resources at La Yaqui 

On September 12, 2016, Alamos reported an updated National Instrument 43-101 compliant mineral
resource estimate for its La Yaqui project as of September 1, 2016. Mineral resources at La Yaqui increased by 93%, or 215,000 ounces to total 447,000 ounces reflecting eight months of drilling in 2016. The updated mineral resource is comprised
of 4,050,000 tonnes at 1.14 grams per tonne gold (“g/t Au”) for 149,000 ounces of indicated mineral resources and 5,524,000 tonnes at 1.68 g/t Au for 298,000 ounces of inferred mineral resources. 

In addition, La Yaqui contains 1,912,000 tonnes at 1.45 g/t Au for 89,000 ounces of mineral reserves, which forms the basis for Phase I
development of the project. 
 Acquisition of Carlisle Goldfields Limited 

On October 15, 2015, Alamos and Carlisle entered into a definitive arrangement agreement whereby Alamos would acquire all of the issued
and outstanding shares of Carlisle. Carlisle’s primary asset was the Lynn Lake gold project located in Lynn Lake, Manitoba, Canada. The Company owned 19.9% of Carlisle prior to announcement of the agreement. The acquisition closed on
January 7, 2016. 
 Excluding Alamos’ existing 19.9% ownership of Carlisle, and net of Carlisle’s cash balance, total
consideration for the acquisition was $20.4 million, including transaction costs.

 The Company’s core strategy in 2016 remains the ramp up of underground
production at Young-Davidson and expanding and advancing development of the La Yaqui deposit at Mulatos. The Company made substantial progress towards achieving these objectives in the first nine months of 2016. In the third quarter, all three
producing mines continued to generate free-cash flow. In addition, ongoing exploration success at La Yaqui resulted in a significant increase in combined mineral resources to nearly 450,000 ounces of gold in all categories as announced in September.
In October, the Company received EIA approval for development of Phase I of the La Yaqui project. 
 Gold production totaled 99,228 ounces
in the third quarter, the strongest result this year driven by solid operating results at all three mines. With gold production of 286,324 ounces for the first nine months of 2016, the Company is well-positioned to achieve full year production and
cost guidance. 
 AISC were lower in the third quarter of 2016, a trend which is expected to continue going forward. Capital spending
remains consistent with plan at all operations. All mine sites were free cash flow positive in the third quarter, generating combined mine site free cash flow of over $9 million. At the current gold price, the Company anticipates continued free
cash flow growth from its mine sites in the fourth quarter of 2016 and into 2017. 
 At Young-Davidson, underground mining rates averaged
5,467 tonnes per day (“TPD”) during the third quarter of 2016. As previously highlighted during the second quarter, underground mining rates were impacted by the rehabilitation of the ore pass infrastructure at the 9590 level. This work
was completed throughout the third quarter resulting in reduced capacity for both ore and waste movement, impacting mining rates. With the completion of the ore pass infrastructure in mid-September, the
Company has experienced higher mining rates, with October averaging over 6,300 TPD. Stronger gold production and free cash flow is expected in the fourth quarter of 2016 as mining rates ramp up towards the
year-end target of 7,000 TPD. 
 At Mulatos, both the heap leach and milling operations performed
well in the third quarter, despite a heavy rainy season. Through increased carbon column capacity, the Company successfully mitigated the impact of heavy rains in the quarter on the heap leach operations. In addition, production from the high-grade
mill exceeded expectations in the third quarter as the Company realized the benefits of the reconfigured mill circuit, with increased recoveries through the production and sale of flotation concentrate. As a result, Mulatos generated over
$5 million of free cash flow, and is expected to continue to grow free cash flow in the fourth quarter as concentrate sales increase. 

The focus at La Yaqui and Cerro Pelon remains on developing and expanding the higher grade deposits. The 2016 exploration program continues to
deliver excellent results at both deposits, most notably at La Yaqui. In September, the Company reported a significant increase to the combined mineral resources at La Yaqui of 93%, or 215,000 ounces, to total 447,000 ounces. With an aggressive
exploration program ongoing at La Yaqui, and positive ongoing results, the project shows strong potential for further mineral reserve and resource growth. On the development front, the Company has made significant progress at La Yaqui, receiving
final approval of the EIA for Phase I of the La Yaqui project in October. Construction activities are expected to commence later this year with initial production on track for mid-2017. 

As a mature, higher cost operation, the focus at El Chanate remains on keeping the mine free cash flow positive. The Company successfully
achieved this in the third quarter with mine-site free cash flow of $2.5 million. 
 Development spending in 2016 remains focused on
the Company’s highest priority targets. This includes advancing Lynn Lake towards a feasibility study and completing the permitting process at Kirazli. Lynn Lake remains one of the Company’s top

development priorities given its favourable location, Canadian dollar exposure, and strong project economics. A feasibility study for Lynn Lake
is expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2017. 
 The Company’s cash position and balance sheet remain strong, with
approximately $287 million in cash and cash equivalents and available-for-sale securities. The Company generated positive free cash flow at all three operations
again in the third quarter, and based on current gold prices, expects this to continue in the fourth quarter and into 2017, driven by a combination of lower costs and capital spending. 

Young-Davidson 
  

The Young-Davidson mine is located near the town of Matachewan in Northern Ontario, Canada. The property consists of contiguous mineral leases
and claims totaling 11,000 acres, and is situated on the site of two past producing mines that produced over one million ounces of gold between 1934 and 1957. The Young-Davidson open pit mine achieved commercial production on September 1, 2012,
and on October 31, 2013, the Company declared commercial production at the Young-Davidson underground mine following the commissioning of the shaft hoisting system. Stockpiled open pit ore will continue to supplement mill feed.

Young-Davidson produced 43,629 ounces of gold in the third quarter of 2016, 14% higher than the same period of 2015 and 2% above the second
quarter of 2016. The increase in production reflects a combination of higher head grades and mill recoveries, partially offset by lower mining rates and mill throughput. On a
year-to-date basis, Young-Davidson has produced 125,338 ounces of gold, an 8% increase compared to the same period in 2015 reflecting the higher proportion of
underground ore feeding the mill as well as improved mill recoveries.

 Q3 2016 Management’s Discussion and Analysis 

 
  

The Company mined 502,953 tonnes of ore from underground in the third quarter of 2016, or 5,467 TPD. Underground mining rates in the third
quarter were lower than the second quarter due to the previously announced rehabilitation work required on the ore pass at the 9590 level. The rehabilitation work was completed over a two-month period during
which underground mining rates were impacted. Following completion of the rehabilitation work in mid-September, the Company has ramped up mining rates significantly, averaging over 6,300 TPD in the month of
October and continue to target 7,000 TPD by the end of 2016. Underground mined grades in the third quarter of 2016 were 2.82 g/t Au, an increase from grades mined in the first half of the year. 

During the third quarter of 2016, the mill processed 628,640 tonnes, or 6,833 TPD with grades averaging 2.37 g/t Au. Mill throughput was below
plan as new liners continued to be tested in an effort to minimize wear and maintenance and reduce costs. The mill continues to exceed underground mining rates, with excess capacity in the mill processing lower grade stockpiled ore. The Company
expects a substantial improvement in mill throughput in the fourth quarter of 2016. 
 Mill recoveries outperformed at 93% in the third
quarter of 2016 as the Company continues to realize the benefits of changes implemented to the flotation circuit earlier in the year. These changes have resulted in a step-change improvement in recoveries which have historically been running at an
average of 89%. 
 Financial Review 

For the three months ended September 30, 2016, revenue of $59.2 million was $13.1 million or 28% higher than the prior-year
period. This increase is attributable to a higher number of ounces sold ($4.2 million impact), as well as an increase attributable to higher realized gold prices ($8.9 million impact). For the nine months ended September 30, 2016,
revenue of $160.7 million was $24.8 million higher than the prior year, attributable to both a higher gold sales as well as higher realized gold prices. 

For the three months ended September 30, 2016, cost of sales of $45.7 million were $2.2 million lower than prior-year period as
a result of lower tonnes processed through the mill. Cost of sales reflects mining and processing costs, royalties, and amortization expense. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, cost of sales of $139.6 million were
$2.0 million lower than the prior year due to lower underground mining costs and lower tonnes processed through the mill in 2016 

Total cash costs in the third quarter of 2016 were $607 per ounce, representing an 11% decrease from the same period of 2015 and an 18%
decrease from the second quarter of 2016. The decrease was primarily attributable to higher grades mined, as well as improved recoveries in the mill. Underground unit mining costs were $34 per tonne in the third quarter of 2016, 6% higher than in
the third quarter of 2015 due to the rehabilitation work noted above which increased maintenance costs. AISC were $849 per ounce, or 13% below the prior year period, reflecting higher mill grades, higher recoveries, and lower sustaining capital.

 For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, total cash costs were $654 per ounce, representing a 7% decrease from the same period
of 2015. The lower costs in the year are driven by higher mill grades and improved recoveries in the mill, offset by increased maintenance costs associated with the ore and waste pass rehabilitation work. AISC of $887 per ounce were 10% lower than
the prior year, reflecting the above, as well as lower sustaining capital spending. 
 Capital expenditures totaled $22.8 million in
the quarter and $72.0 million year-to-date, consistent with guidance. Spending was focused on lateral development, completion of the MCM shaft, underground
equipment, and a tailings dam raise. Of the total capital expenditures, $29.5 million related to sustaining capital and $42.5 million related to growth capital. Capital spending at Young-Davidson is expected to total approximately
$95 million in 2016, in line with guidance. 
 With capital spending on track, Young-Davidson generated free cash flow of
$1.6 million for the quarter, the second straight quarter of positive free cash flow. Higher underground mining rates and improved mill throughput are expected to drive stronger production and free cash flow in the fourth quarter of 2016.

 Q3 2016 Management’s Discussion and Analysis 

 
  

Mulatos produced 38,500 ounces of gold in the third quarter of 2016, a significant increase from both the second quarter of 2016 and third
quarter of 2015. Despite heavy rains in the quarter, production from the heap leach was strong with the Company able to better manage the seasonal build up in gold solution inventory through increased carbon column capacity. In addition, the
reconfiguration of the mill circuit completed in the second quarter contributed to an increase in third quarter production as higher recoveries were realized from the mill through production of a flotation concentrate. Production on a year-to-date basis totaled 109,100 ounces, a significant improvement from the same period in 2015. Mulatos is on track to meet the top end of its production guidance in 2016
of 150,000 ounces of gold. 
 The open pit, heap leaching operation continued to perform well during the third quarter with total crusher
throughput averaging 17,500 TPD, in line with expectations. The grade of crushed ore stacked on the leach pad in the third quarter of 0.82 g/t Au was lower than the annual budget due to mine sequencing in the El Victor portion of the open pit. Open
pit grades are expected to increase in the fourth quarter of 2016. 
 Mill throughput in the third quarter of 2016 was 38,287 tonnes at an
average grade of 9.8 g/t Au. Tonnes processed through the mill exceeded tonnes mined from underground as high-grade stockpiles were drawn down. The stockpiles will continue to supplement underground ore production through the remainder of 2016 and
into 2017. Mill production was higher than planned due to a combination of better grades and recoveries. The reconfigured mill circuit is performing well with the mill currently operating at approximately 400 TPD, and is expected to run at those
levels for the duration of 2016. The sale of gold concentrate commenced in the quarter, but not at the same rate as production, resulting in an estimated inventory of 8,000 ounces at the end of September. 

The ratio of ounces produced to contained ounces stacked and milled (or recovery ratio) of 72% in the third quarter was above annual guidance.

 Financial Review 
 For the three
months ended September 30, 2016, revenue of $44.7 million was $11.4 million, or 34% higher than the prior-year period. The increase in revenue reflects a higher number of ounces sold ($5.3 million impact), as well as the benefit
of higher realized gold prices ($6.2 million impact). The average realized gold price fin the quarter was $1,332 per ounce compared to $1,125 per ounce in the prior-year period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, revenue of
$126.5 million was $93.2 million higher than the prior year period, due to a full nine months of sales at Mulatos included in the financial statements in 2016, compared to only three months of sales at Mulatos included in the prior year
financial statements subsequent to the July 2015 merger. 
 For the three months ended September 30, 2016, cost of sales were
relatively consistent with the prior-year period at $37.0 million, as tonnes processed were higher than the third quarter of 2016, offset by lower mining and processing costs. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, cost of sales
were higher than the prior year figure by $72.4 million, due to the prior-year period reflecting only three months of operations subsequent to the July 2015 merger. 

Total cash costs of $888 per ounce in the third quarter of 2016 were lower than the $979 per ounce reported in the same period of 2015
reflecting lower operating costs, stronger mill throughput, a weaker Mexican Peso and significantly improved combined recoveries. AISC in the quarter were $965 per ounce, 20% lower than the same period of 2015 as a result of the above noted items,
as well as lower sustaining capital. On a year-to-date basis, total cash costs and AISC were $819 and $909 per ounce, respectively, below annual guidance. Total cash
costs and AISC improved relative to the prior year period reflecting lower operating costs, sustaining capital spending and a weaker Mexican Peso. 

The third quarter was another strong quarter at Mulatos, generating $5.1 million in free cash flow, which is net of $6.2 million in
exploration and development spending at La Yaqui and Cerro Pelon. For the nine-months ended September 30, 2016, Mulatos has generated $16.7 million in free cash flow, net of $13.8 million in exploration and development spending at La
Yaqui and Cerro Pelon. The site’s free cash flow reflects both higher gold prices and improved concentrate production. The Company expects stronger production and free cash flow in the fourth quarter of 2016, reflecting higher grades stacked on
the leach pad and increased sales of gold in concentrate.

 The Company produced 17,099 ounces of gold in the third quarter of 2016 at El Chanate
compared to 21,932 ounces in the same period of 2015. Lower production in the third quarter of 2016 reflected a lower number of contained ounces placed on the pad in the early part of the year compared to the same period in 2015. Chanate remains on
track to meet the top end of its production guidance in 2016 of 70,000 ounces of gold. 
 During the third quarter of 2016, the Company
mined 1,756,984 tonnes of ore at El Chanate at an average grade of 0.61 g/t Au. Ore tonnes mined, as well as average daily mining rates were lower than in the third quarter of 2015 but improved from the second quarter of 2016. The Company expects
mining rates to increase in the fourth quarter of 2016. 
 Starting in the third quarter of 2015, all waste removal costs at El Chanate are
expensed as the Company determined these costs are not recoverable. This has increased total cash costs per ounce in the current year relative to the nine months ended September 30, 2015, but has no impact on AISC per ounce.

 Q3 2016 Management’s Discussion and Analysis 

 
  

The Company stacked 1,696,663 tonnes of open pit ore on the heap leach pad, including run-of-mine material, during the third quarter of 2016 at an average rate of 18,400 TPD. This was lower than the average rate of 19,500 TPD in the same period of the prior year. The grade of ore stacked
averaged 0.61 g/t Au during the third quarter of 2016 compared to an average grade of 0.46 g/t Au in the same period of the prior year, reflecting higher grades mined in the quarter. 

Financial Review 
 For the three months
ended September 30, 2016, revenue of $21.7 million was $2.5 million, or 10% lower than the prior year period, reflecting a lower number of ounces sold ($5.8 million impact), partially offset by a benefit of higher realized gold
prices. The average realized gold price in the quarter was $1,281 per ounce compared to $1,126 per ounce in the prior-year period, with the current quarter realized price impacted by hedging contracts entered into earlier in 2016. For the nine
months ended September 30, 2016, revenue of $62.8 million was $7.4 million lower than the comparative period, primarily due to lower number of ounces sold. 

For the three months ended September 30, 2016, cost of sales were significantly lower than the prior-year period, decreasing by
$7.2 million to $19.5 million. The decrease reflects a reduction in amortization for the period resulting from the impairment charge taken in the prior year, as well as lower ounces sold in the period.    For the nine
months ended September 30, 2016, cost of sales of $60.3 million were lower than the prior-year figure by $6.8 million, mainly due to the inventory net realizable cost adjustment recorded in the second quarter of 2015 of
$7.0 million which resulted in an increased cost of sales in the prior year. 
 Total cash costs were $1,045 per ounce in the third
quarter of 2016, an increase from the same period of 2015 due to lower gold production and sales. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, cash costs were $1,014 per ounce, higher than the prior year figure, due to the expensing of waste
removal costs as incurred in the current year, whereas in the first half of 2015, these costs were capitalized. AISC of $1,062 per ounce in the third quarter of 2016 increased from $1,019 per ounce in the third quarter of 2015 due to lower gold
production and sales. On a year-to-date basis, AISC of $1,032 per ounce is 6% below annual guidance of $1,100 per ounce. 

El Chanate generated $2.5 million of free cash flow in the third quarter reflecting higher gold prices and continued cost control. On a year-to-date basis, the operation has generated $4.9 million in free cash flow. 

Third Quarter 2016 Exploration and Development Activities 

 
 Mulatos District 

Reflecting ongoing exploration success at La Yaqui and Cerro Pelon, the exploration budget at Mulatos was increased by 60 percent to
$16.0 million in May 2016. As part of this expanded budget, the Company increased the number of active drill rigs to 13 and expanded the exploration team to more than 250 employees and contractors, representing record exploration activity at
Mulatos. In addition to drilling, geophysical surveys comprising ground magnetics and induced polarization were completed over the larger La Yaqui and Cerro Pelon areas. The expanded exploration program and exploration success to date were
incorporated into an interim mineral resource update at La Yaqui in September 2016 which included a 93% increase in combined mineral resources at La Yaqui to 447,000 ounces. 

While La Yaqui and Cerro Pelon remain the highest priority exploration targets, mapping and sampling has continued over the larger Mulatos
District. The Company has a large exploration package covering 28,777 hectares which has historically seen more than 70% of its exploration efforts focused around the Mulatos mine. Knowledge gained from the successful ongoing exploration programs at
La Yaqui and Cerro Pelon is being applied across the rest of the district with a number of high-priority prospects added to the near term exploration plan, including Los Bajios, El Halcon, La Yaqui Norte and El Carricito. Systematic mapping and
sampling will be carried out over these projects in order to outline targets for first pass drill programs. 
 La Yaqui 

The 2016 drill program at La Yaqui was designed to both upgrade and extend the 232,000 ounces of inferred mineral resources discovered in two
new zones of mineralization in 2015. These zones are located to the northeast of the existing mineral reserve pit along a one kilometre long northwest trending silica ridge. 

The program has been successful on both fronts with drilling through the first eight months of 2016 incorporated into an interim mineral
resource update in September 2016 which demonstrated a 215,000 ounce increase in combined mineral resources to now total 447,000 ounces. This included upgrading 149,000 ounces (4.1 million tonnes grading 1.14 g/t Au) to an indicated mineral
resource and expanding the higher grade inferred mineral resource to 298,000 ounces (5.5 million tonnes grading 1.68 g/t Au). Including existing mineral reserves of 89,000 ounces (1.9 million tonnes grading 1.45 g/t Au), La Yaqui now hosts
a combined mineral reserve and resource of 536,000 ounces, a substantial increase from the mineral reserve of 80,000 ounces at the end of 2014. The mineral resources are in oxide mineralization with preliminary metallurgical test work indicating it
is amenable to heap leaching.

 Q3 2016 Management’s Discussion and Analysis 

 
  

The interim La Yaqui mineral resource update incorporated 27,201 metres (“m”) of drilling completed across 132 holes through the
first eight months of 2016. This included infill and extension drilling on two of the zones of mineralization that occur along the large northwest trending ridge at La Yaqui. A third zone further to the northwest is currently undergoing scout
drilling and has not been included in resource calculations to date. 
 La Yaqui is the Company’s highest priority exploration target
with six rigs currently working on the project. Since the interim resource an additional 9,055 m has been completed on the prospect bringing the total to the end of September to 36,256 m. An additional 5,000 to 6,000 m is planned for the remainder
of 2016. 
 New highlight intercepts from infill drilling in zone 2 include: 

 

	 	•	 	 4.37 g/t Au over 76.00 m (16YAQ135) 

 

	 	•	 	 3.17 g/t Au over 76.80 m (16YAQ129) 

 

	 	•	 	 8.42 g/t Au over 19.80 m (16YAQ117) 

 

	 	•	 	 1.10 g/t Au over 61.80m (16YAQ133) 

 

	 	•	 	 2.89 g/t Au over 18.90 m (16YAQ0116) 

True widths for these intercepts are estimated at approximately 80-90% of drilled width. 

Development of La Yaqui remains on track, with road construction well underway and initial production expected
mid-2017. On October 6, 2016, the Company received final approval of the EIA for Phase I development of the La Yaqui project. Tendering for mining activities took place late in October and construction
activities are expected to commence in the fourth quarter of 2016. 
 Cerro Pelon 

The exploration focus at Cerro Pelon has changed to include a much larger area which is now being systematically explored. As part of these
programs, scout drill holes were undertaken during the third quarter on targets to the north and northwest of currently defined mineral resources and reserves. A total of 20 holes for 5,692 m of drilling were completed at Cerro Pelon with structures
and vuggy silica and advanced argillic alteration intersected over a broad area in the northwestern zone. Pyrite mineralization was also intersected and while many results are still pending, those received show a multi-element geochemical signature
usually associated with mineralization at Mulatos. Exploration will use the results obtained to date to vector in towards areas believed to have potential to contain higher-grade gold mineralization. Given the ongoing exploration success and strong
potential for further mineral reserve and resource growth, the Company has postponed the submission of the EIA to ensure this upside is captured in the development of the project. 

Lynn Lake 
 The Company closed the
acquisition of Carlisle, the joint-venture partner on the Lynn Lake Project, on January 7, 2016. The acquisition allowed the Company to consolidate 100% ownership of the Lynn Lake Project, thereby giving the Company full control of the project
timeline and spending. 
 For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company spent $2.3 million and
$6.0 million respectively on environmental baseline studies and geotechnical drilling to support the project description and feasibility study. The feasibility study is scheduled to be completed in the third quarter of 2017. 

Turkey 
 The Company is in the process of
applying for the forestry and operating permits for the Kirazl1 and Ağ1 Dağ1 gold projects, which are required prior to the start of construction. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, total development expenditures
in Turkey were $1.0 million and $2.2 million respectively. 
 Esperanza 

The Company capitalized $0.7 million and $2.4 million at the Esperanza Gold Project for the three and nine months ended September 30,
2016. 
 Quartz Mountain 
 For the three
and nine months ended September 30, 2016, total expenditures at the Quartz Mountain project were $0.3 million and $0.8 million respectively.

Key Performance Drivers 
  

Gold Price 
 The Company’s
performance is largely dependent on the price of gold, which directly affects the Company’s profitability and cash flow. The price of gold is subject to volatile price movements and is affected by numerous factors, such as the strength of the
US dollar, supply and demand, interest rates, and inflation rates, all of which are beyond the Company’s control. During the third quarter of 2016, the London PM Fix price of gold averaged $1,335 per ounce, a 19% increase from the London PM Fix
average of $1,124 in the third quarter of 2015. The price of gold ranged from $1,303 to $1,375 per ounce in the third quarter of 2016. 
 Foreign
Exchange Rates 
 At the Company’s mine sites, a significant portion of operating costs and capital expenditures are denominated in
foreign currencies, including Mexican pesos and Canadian dollars. Accordingly, fluctuations in these foreign currencies against the US dollar can significantly impact the Company’s costs and cash flow. In the third quarter of 2016, the Mexican
peso and Canadian dollar averaged approximately 18.77 to $1 US dollar and 1.31 to $1 US dollar, respectively, compared to average rates of 16.44 to $1 US dollar and 1.31 to $1 US dollar, respectively, in the third quarter of 2015. The Company
recorded a $2.1 million foreign exchange loss in the third quarter of 2016, the majority of which is unrealized, due to the impact of the weakening Mexican peso on the Company’s Mexican peso denominated monetary assets and liabilities.

 Q3 2016 Management’s Discussion and Analysis 

 
  

Review of Third Quarter Financial Results 
  

Operating Revenue 
 During the third
quarter of 2016, the Company sold 94,791 ounces of gold for proceeds of $125.6 million, a 21% increase compared to the third quarter of 2015. This reflected a higher number of ounces of gold sold ($3.4 million impact), and a higher average
realized price of $1,325 per ounce compared to $1,122 per ounce in the prior year period ($18.7 million impact). The Company’s realized gold price in the third quarter was $10 below the average London PM fix of $1,335 per ounce as a result
of the gold hedging strategy entered into at Chanate earlier in the year. The outstanding gold collar contracts for the remainder of 2016 are at higher gold prices than the current spot price on November 8, 2016. 

Cost of Sales 
 Cost of sales is comprised
of mining and processing costs, royalties, and amortization. For the third quarter of 2016, cost of sales was $102.2 million, compared to $110.0 million in the prior-year period. 

Mining and Processing 
 Mining and
processing costs decreased to $70.9 million in the third quarter of 2016 from $75.4 million in the prior-year period. The decrease reflects the benefit of the weakening Mexican Peso relative to the US dollar, as well as lower operating
costs at Young-Davidson and Mulatos. 
 Consolidated total cash costs for the quarter were $785 per ounce, compared to $850 per ounce in the
prior year period, and in line with 2016 guidance. The decrease is attributable to lower operating costs at both Young-Davidson and Mulatos compared to the prior year. 

In the third quarter of 2016, AISC per ounce decreased to $979, as compared to $1,155 in the third quarter of 2015. This decrease reflects
lower sustaining capital at Young-Davidson and Mulatos, as well as lower corporate and administrative expenses and lower realized losses on foreign exchange option contracts. 

Royalties 
 Royalty expense for the
quarter was $3.5 million, compared to $2.9 million in the third quarter of 2015. The increase is due to the higher gold prices in the current quarter as well as higher number of ounces sold. 

Amortization 
 Amortization decreased to
$27.8 million in 2016 from $31.7 million in the prior-year period, reflecting lower amortization per ounce sold. Amortization per ounce sold was $293 per ounce, down from $343 per ounce in the third quarter of 2015. This reflected lower
amortization per ounce sold attributable to Mulatos, as well as impairment charges at El Chanate and Young-Davidson in the second quarter of 2015 which had the impact of lowering amortization expense in subsequent periods. 

Earnings from Operations 
 The Company
recognized earnings from operations of $17.2 million in the third quarter of 2016, compared to a loss from operations of $18.9 million in the same period of 2015, driven by higher gold prices, lower cost of sales, and lower corporate and
administrative costs as the third quarter of 2015 included post-merger integration costs. 
 Net earnings 

The Company reported net earnings of $4.8 million in the third quarter of 2016, compared to a net loss of $33.4 million in the third
quarter of 2015. Net earnings in the current quarter reflects stronger earnings from operations, offset by unrealized foreign exchange losses, and higher deferred tax expense. 

Review of Nine Month Financial Results 
  

Operating Revenue 
 For the first nine
months of 2016, the Company sold 281,646 ounces of gold for proceeds of $350.0 million, a 46% increase compared to 2015. 
 The
increase in gold ounces sold is due to the inclusion of Mulatos’ revenue for the nine months 2016, compared to only three-months included in the prior year. Additionally, revenue benefited from an increase in the average realized gold price in
2016, as the average realized price for the first nine-months increased to $1,243 per ounce from $1,168 per ounce in the same period of 2015, contributing an additional $15.4 million to revenue.

 Q3 2016 Management’s Discussion and Analysis 

 
  

Cost of Sales 
 Cost of sales is comprised
of mining and processing costs, royalties, and amortization. For the third quarter of 2016, cost of sales was $307.7 million, compared to $244.1 million in the prior-year. 

Mining and Processing 
 Mining and
processing costs increased to $210.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared to $160.4 million in the prior year period, largely reflecting the inclusion of operating costs from Mulatos for nine months compared
to only three months in the prior year period. 
 Consolidated total cash costs for the nine month period were $780 per ounce, compared to
$758 per ounce in the prior year period, and in line with 2016 guidance of $800 per ounce. The increase is due to the Company directly expensing all waste removal costs at El Chanate for the entire period of 2016, whereas the Company capitalized
waste removal costs for the first half of 2015. This increase was partially offset by the benefit associated with the weakening Canadian dollar and Mexican peso compared to the US dollar on operating costs. 

AISC decreased by 10% to $1,002 per ounce in 2016 compared to the prior period, primarily due to lower sustaining capital and the weaker
Canadian dollar and Mexican peso, offset by higher share-based compensation reflecting a mark-to-market adjustment of cash settled liabilities. 

Royalties 
 Royalty expense for the nine
month period of 2016 was $9.7 million, a significant increase from 2015 due to the inclusion of the 5% royalty at Mulatos for the nine month period compared to only three months in the prior year. Further, the 1.5% royalty at Young-Davidson,
payable during all of 2016, was not payable in the first half of 2015. 
 Amortization 

Amortization increased from $80.0 million during the first nine months of 2015 to $87.9 million in 2016, however, amortization per
ounce sold decreased to $312 per ounce in 2016 compared to $390 per ounce in 2015. Amortization expense in 2016 reflects the inclusion of amortization for Mulatos for the full year in 2016, compared to only the third quarter in 2015. This increased
total amortization for the nine-month period but decreased amortization on a per ounce basis given Mulatos has a lower per-ounce amortization charge than other operations. 

Earnings from Operations 
 The Company
recorded earnings from operations of $17.8 million for the first nine months of 2016, compared to a loss from operations of $437.1 million in the same period of 2015, due to improved performance from mine operations, as well as a
$366.0 million impairment loss on the Young-Davidson and El Chanate mines and the revaluation of assets distributed to AuRico Metals of $40.1 million recorded in 2015. 

Net Earnings 
 The Company reported net
earnings of $2.7 million in the first nine months of 2016, compared to a net loss of $448.4 million in the prior-year period reflecting stronger earnings from operations and the impairments taken in the second quarter of 2015.

 Exploration 

Exploration expense mainly relates to expenditures on early-stage exploration projects and corporate exploration support. The majority of
exploration expenditures in 2016 were capitalized given the spending was focused on La Yaqui and Cerro Pelon. 
 Corporate and administrative 

Corporate and administrative costs include expenses relating to the overall management of the business that are not part of direct mine
operating costs. These costs are generally incurred at the corporate office located in Canada. Corporate and administrative costs decreased significantly by $2.4 million to $3.7 million as the prior year period included post-merger costs,
including temporarily maintaining two corporate offices and the associated head count in 2015. The savings for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 reflect merger synergies realized in 2016. 

Share-based compensation 
 Share-based
compensation expense for the three-months ended September 30, 2016 was $0.9 million, compared to $1.2 million in the prior year period. This decrease was driven by a modest decrease in the Company’s share price during the quarter
and the corresponding impact on the mark-to-market revaluation of long-term incentive grants. For the first nine months of 2016, share-based compensation increased by
$5.4 million to $9.3 million reflecting the increase in the Company’s share price and resulting mark-to-market revaluation of long-term incentive grants.

 Revaluation of assets distributed and impairment charges 

The prior year period includes charges related to the distribution of assets and liabilities to AuRico Metals as part of the merger which were
recorded at the lower of fair value less costs to distribute and carrying value at the end of the second quarter of 2015. 
 In addition,
during the second quarter of 2015, the Company incurred a $326.0 million impairment charge at Young-Davidson, and a $40.0 million impairment charge at El Chanate, as the Company determined that the carrying value exceeded the recoverable
amount of the assets. 
 Finance expense 

Finance expense was consistent period over period, and mainly relates to interest on the senior secured notes. The Company capitalized
$2.0 million of interest in the third quarter of 2016 and $5.3 million for the first nine months of 2016, compared to $1.6 million and $3.8 million in the prior year period. 

Foreign exchange loss 
 During the third
quarter of 2016, a foreign exchange loss of $2.1 million was recorded. This includes an unrealized loss of $1.3 million reflecting the impact of a 13% depreciation of the Mexican peso in the quarter on the Company’s Mexican peso
denominated monetary assets and liabilities. The Company will continue to experience non-cash foreign currency gains or losses on monetary assets and liabilities, primarily as a result of fluctuations between
the US dollar, and both the Canadian dollar and Mexican peso. 
 Other gains 

During the third quarter of 2016, the Company recorded other gains of $8.2 million compared to losses of $4.9 million in the prior
year period. For the first nine months of 2016, other gains was $5.1 million compared to $12.6 million in 2015. Other gains are mainly comprised of the
mark-to-market revaluation of non-hedged derivative liabilities, the revaluation of the embedded prepayment option on the senior
secured notes, and the renunciation of flow through share expenses. In the prior year, other losses also included transaction costs and restructuring costs related to the merger completed in 2015.

 Q3 2016 Management’s Discussion and Analysis 

 
  

Consolidated Income Tax Expense 
  

The Company is subject to tax in various jurisdictions, including Mexico and Canada. There are a number of factors that can significantly
impact the Company’s effective tax rate including the geographic distribution of income, varying rates in different jurisdictions, the non-recognition of tax assets, mining allowances, foreign currency
exchange rate movements, changes in tax laws and the impact of specific transactions and assessments. Due to the number of factors that can potentially impact the effective tax rate and the sensitivity of the tax provision to these factors, it
is expected that the Company’s effective tax rate will fluctuate in future periods. 
 During the third quarter of 2016, the Company
recognized a current tax expense of $0.8 million and a deferred tax expense of $12.1 million, compared to a current tax expense of $0.4 million and a deferred tax recovery of $5.1 million in same period of 2015. Current
income tax in the third quarter of 2016 is primarily related to mining tax payable in Mexico. On a year-to-date basis, the deferred tax recovery of $5.0 million is
primarily due to the impact of the strengthening Canadian dollar during the year on the Company’s non-monetary tax assets and liabilities. 

In the first quarter of 2016, the Company was successful in collecting $13.2 million of income tax receivable, which represented the
majority of the Company’s 2014 income tax refund request for Mulatos. The Company continued to successfully collect VAT refund requests in the third quarter at both Mexican operations, and expects to collect the outstanding VAT receivable
balances throughout the remainder of 2016 and 2017.

2015	 	  	 
	Current assets	  	$	478.9	  	  	$	483.2	  	  	 Current assets decreased during 2016, primarily due to the collection of the Mulatos income tax receivable, offset by an
increase in inventory, and the revaluation of the Company’s available-for-sale securities.

		  	  
	  
	 	  	  
	  
	 	  	
	Long-term assets	  	 	2,033.3	  	  	 	1,979.0	  	  	 Long term assets increased by $56.8 million primarily due to the acquisition of Carlisle. The acquisition added
$19.9 million of mineral properties to the Company’s balance sheet. The remainder of the change was due to capital expenditures offset by amortization charges.

	Current liabilities	  	$	111.3	  	  	$	99.9	  	  	 The increase in current liabilities is due to the timing of trade payables and accruals as well as an increase in
liabilities for share-based payments.

	Long-term financial liabilities	  	 	302.5	  	  	 	315.0	  	  	 Long-term financial liabilities decreased due to the Company no longer entering into new equipment financing obligations
and the continued draw-down of existing lease contracts. The carrying value of the senior secured notes was reduced due to the revaluation of the embedded prepayment option on the senior secured notes.

	Other long-term liabilities	  	 	318.7	  	  	 	323.1	  	  	 Other long-term financial liabilities decreased by $4.4 million from December 31, 2015. This is primarily due

 Liquidity and Capital Resources 

 
 The Company’s strategy is based
on achieving positive cash flows from operations to internally fund operating, capital and project development requirements. Material increases or decreases in the Company’s liquidity and capital resources will be substantially determined by
the success or failure of the Company’s operations, exploration, and development programs, the ability to obtain equity or other sources of financing, the price of gold, and currency exchange rates. 

As at September 30, 2016, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $273.9 million compared to $282.9 million at
December 31, 2015. In addition, the Company has access to $150.0 million credit facility ($150.0 million at December 31, 2015), and $13.1 million in
available-for-sale securities ($6.7 million at December 31, 2015). In the opinion of management, the Company’s liquidity position of $437.0 million
at September 30, 2016 comprised of cash and cash equivalents, available-for-sale securities and availability under the credit facility, together with cash flows
from operations, are sufficient to support the Company’s normal operating requirements and capital commitments on an ongoing basis. The Company has outstanding notes in the principal amount of $315.0

million maturing in 2020, and annual interest payments of $24.4 million. Assuming continuation of prevailing gold prices and exchange
rates, and operations performing in accordance with mine plans, the Company could choose to repay the debt from internally generated cash, depending on alternative uses for the funds.

	(1)	 Cash flow from operating and financing activities for 2015 have been restated as a result of retrospective
application of a voluntary change in accounting policy related to cash flow presentation. For further details, refer to note 15 of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the period ended September 30, 2016.

 Cash flow provided by (used in) operating activities 

In the third quarter of 2016, operating activities generated cash flows of $36.7 million compared to a use of $8.4 million in the
same period of 2015 due to higher gold production and realized gold prices. For the first nine months of 2016, operating activities generated $97.4 million compared to $39.0 million in 2015, due to higher production and realized gold
prices, as well as lower operating costs and corporate and administration costs. 
 Cash flow used in investing activities 

For the third quarter of 2016, investing activities used cash of $37.8 million compared to providing a source of $196.4 million in
2015. Capital expenditures were lower in the quarter at $37.2 million compared to $48.8 million in the prior year due to lower spending at Young-Davidson and Mulatos. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, capital expenditures
were $109.0 million compared to $124.6 million in the prior-year period, with lower spending at Young-Davidson and El Chanate, offset by higher spending at Mulatos and Lynn Lake. 

The primary inflow of cash from investing activities in the prior year period was the $249.1 million cash acquired upon the completion of
the merger on July 2, 2015. Additionally in 2015, the Company terminated the retained interest royalty which resulted in proceeds of $16.7 million. 

Cash flow from financing activities 
 In
the third quarter of 2016, the Company generated $2.1 million from financing activities, reflecting $4.1 million received from the exercise of stock options and warrants. This was offset by capital lease payments of $1.4 million. 

For the first nine months of 2016, the Company generated $5.9 million from financing activities, reflecting $20.4 million CDE
flow-through share financings as well as $7.4 million received through the exercise of stock options and warrants. This was partially offset by capital lease payments of $5.3 million, a dividend payment of $2.6 million, semi-annual
interest payments on the senior secured notes of $12.2 million and $1.2 million in transaction and upfront fees related to the amended credit facility. 

On September 30, 2016, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a dividend of $0.01 per share, or $2.7 million payable to
shareholders of record on October 14, 2016, and paid on October 31, 2016. 
 Senior Secured Notes 

On March 27, 2014, the Company completed an offering of $315.0 million senior secured notes (the “secured notes”), secured
against the assets of the Company. These secured notes were sold at 96.524% of par, resulting in total proceeds of $304.1 million. The secured notes pay interest in semi-annual installments on April 1 and October 1 of each year,
commencing on October 1, 2014, at a rate of 7.75% per annum, and mature on April 1, 2020. No principal payments are due until the maturity date. These notes contain transaction-based restrictive covenants that limit the Company’s
ability to incur additional indebtedness in certain circumstances. 

  

			
	 

	  	41

 Q3 2016 Management’s Discussion and Analysis 

 
  

The senior secured notes indenture grants the Company the option to prepay the notes prior to the maturity of the instruments, and specifies a
premium during each applicable time period. These prepayment options have been accounted for as embedded derivatives, and are outlined below: 
  

	 	•	 	 Subsequent to April 1, 2017, the secured notes may be repurchased at 103.875% of par value

  

	 	•	 	 Subsequent to April 1, 2018, the secured notes may be repurchased at 101.938% of par value

  

	 	•	 	 Subsequent to April 1, 2019, the secured notes may be repurchased at 100% of par value

 As at September 30, 2016, the fair value of the prepayment option embedded derivative was $10.3 million
(December 31, 2015—$0.1 million) and was offset against the carrying amount of the secured notes. The Company recorded a gain of $8.4 million and $10.2 million for the three and nine-months ended September 30, 2016 (three and
nine-months ended September 30, 2015—$4.1 million loss and $1.5 million loss), which is recorded in Other gains. 
 Credit Facility

 On March 22, 2016, the Company amended and restated its existing $150.0 million credit facility, extending the maturity from
April 26, 2016 to February 29, 2020. The amended facility consists of a committed $150.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Facility”), with an option to draw an additional $70.0 million, subject to commitments
from existing and/or new lenders. The terms of the Facility reflect a reduction in pricing and removal of certain covenants compared to the previous facility. The Facility bears an interest at a rate of Libor plus 2.125% to 3.125% on drawn amounts
and 0.48% to 0.70% on undrawn amounts, based on the Company’s net leverage ratio, as defined in the agreement. 
 The Facility is
secured by a first-ranking lien on all material present and future assets, property and undertakings of the Company. The Facility contains various covenants customary for a loan facility of this nature, including limits on indebtedness, asset sales,
and liens. It contains financial covenant tests that include (a) a minimum interest coverage ratio of 3.0:1.0 and (b) a maximum net leverage ratio of 3.5:1.0. 

As a result of moving from a gross leverage to a net leverage ratio, the Company has improved pricing significantly under the amended
facility. Based on the Company’s current net leverage ratio as defined in the credit facility agreement, the rates of the undrawn and drawn fees would be 0.48% and Libor plus 2.125%, respectively, as compared to 0.78% of undrawn fees and Libor
plus 3.5% of drawn fees under the previous credit facility. This is expected to result in annual savings of $0.5 million in undrawn fees. 

The Company paid $1.2 million in transaction costs and upfront fees on closing of the amended credit facility, which will be amortized
over the term of the facility. 
 As at September 30, 2016, the Company is in compliance with all covenants and has not drawn any funds
under the Facility.

Financial Instruments 
  

The Company seeks to manage its exposure to fluctuations in commodity prices, interest rates and foreign exchange rates by entering into
derivative financial instruments from time to time. 
 Gold option and forward contracts 

As at September 30, 2016, the Company held option contracts to protect against the risk of a decrease in the value of the gold price.
These option contracts ensure a minimum average realized gold price of $1,217 per ounce and cap a maximum average realized gold price of $1,395 per ounce, regardless of the movement in gold prices during the remainder of 2016. 

The following gold collar contracts are outstanding as of September 30, 2016:

Measures” disclosure at the end of this MD&A for a description and calculation of these measures. 

	(2)	 In connection with the Plan of Arrangement of AuRico and Former Alamos, all issued and outstanding common
shares of AuRico were exchanged for Class A common shares on July 2, 2015. The exchange ratio was 0.5046 Class A common share for each common share outstanding. Prior period loss per share for both basic and diluted earnings (loss)
has been adjusted for the exchange ratio. 

	(3)	 Operating and financial results for Mulatos are included in periods subsequent to and including July 2,
2015 only. 

 Operating revenues increased in the third quarter of 2016 as a result of continued gold price strength,
although prior to the first quarter of 2016, revenues generally trended lower over the past two years as a result of decreasing gold prices, resulting in generally weaker financial results. Gold production increased starting in the third quarter of
2015 as a result of the addition of the Mulatos mine to the Company’s financial and operating results. Seasonal conditions can also impact production and financial results in future periods. 

The reported net loss for the fourth quarter of 2014 included impairment charges related to the El Chanate operation. The reported net loss in
the second quarter of 2015 reflected impairment charges at Young-Davidson, El Chanate and Kemess. The reported net loss in the fourth quarter of 2015 was impacted by an NRV adjustment to the El Chanate leach pad inventory, as well as a write-off of the Orion joint venture project.

 Q3 2016 Management’s Discussion and Analysis 

 
  

Non-GAAP Measures and Additional GAAP Measures 

 
 The Company has included certain non-GAAP financial measures to supplement its Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements, which are presented in accordance with IFRS, including the following: 

 

	 	•	 	 cash flow from operating activities before changes in non-cash working
capital; 

  

	 	•	 	 mine-site free cash flow; 

 

	 	•	 	 total cash cost per ounce of gold sold; 

 

	 	•	 	 all-in sustaining cost (“AISC”) per ounce of gold sold; and

  

	 	•	 	 earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization 

The Company believes that these measures, together with measures determined in accordance with IFRS, provide investors with an improved
ability to evaluate the underlying performance of the Company. Non-GAAP financial measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed under IFRS, and therefore they may not be comparable to similar
measures employed by other companies. The data is intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. Management’s determination
of the components of non-GAAP and additional measures are evaluated on a periodic basis influenced by new items and transactions, a review of investor uses and new regulations as applicable. Any changes in to
the measures are dully noted and retrospectively applied as applicable. 
 Cash Flow from Operating Activities before Changes in Non-cash Working Capital 
 “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.
“Cash flow from operating activities before changes in non-cash working capital” is a non-GAAP financial measure with no standard meaning under IFRS. 

The following table reconciles the non-GAAP measure to the consolidated statements of cash flows.

Mine-site Free Cash Flow 
 “Mine-site
free cash flow” is a non-GAAP financial performance measure which includes cash flow from operating activities, less mineral property, plant and equipment expenditures from the cash flow. The Company
believes this to be a useful indicator of our ability to operate without reliance on additional borrowing or usage of existing cash. Free cash flow is intended to provide additional information only and does not have any standardized meaning under
IFRS and may not be comparable to similar measures of performance presented by other mining companies. Free cash flow should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS.

Total Cash Costs per ounce 
 Total cash
costs per ounce is a non-GAAP term 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. This non-GAAP term is also used to assess the ability of a mining company to generate cash flow from operations. Total cash costs per ounce includes mining and processing costs plus applicable
royalties, and net of by-product revenue and NRV adjustments. Total cash costs per ounce is exclusive of exploration costs. 

Total cash costs per ounce is intended to provide additional information only and does not have any standardized meaning under IFRS and may
not be comparable to similar measures presented by other mining companies. It should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. The measure is not necessarily indicative of cash
flow from operations under IFRS or operating costs presented under IFRS. 
 All-in Sustaining Costs per ounce

 The Company adopted an “all-in sustaining costs per ounce” non-GAAP performance measure in accordance with the World Gold Council published in June 2013. The Company believes the measure more fully defines the total costs associated with producing gold; however, this
performance measure has no standardized meaning. Accordingly, there may be some variation in the method of computation of “all-in sustaining costs per ounce” as determined by the Company compared
with other mining companies. In this context, “all-in sustaining costs per ounce” for the consolidated Company reflects total mining and processing costs, corporate and administrative costs,
share-based compensation, exploration costs, sustaining capital, and other operating costs. For the purposes of calculating “all-in sustaining costs” at the individual mine-site level, the Company
does not include an allocation of corporate and administrative costs and share-based compensation, as detailed in the reconciliations below. 

Sustaining capital expenditures are expenditures that do not increase annual gold ounce production at a mine site and excludes all
expenditures at the Company’s development projects as well as certain expenditures at the Company’s operating sites that are deemed expansionary in nature. For each mine-site reconciliation, corporate and administrative costs, and non-site specific costs are not included in the all-in sustaining cost per ounce calculation. 

All-in sustaining costs per gold ounce is intended to provide additional information only and does not

 The measure is not necessarily indicative of cash flow from operations under IFRS or operating costs presented under IFRS.

Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization (“EBITDA”) 

EBITDA represents net earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization. EBITDA is an indicator of the Company’s ability to
generate liquidity by producing operating cash flow to fund working capital needs, service debt obligations, and fund capital expenditures. 

EBITDA does not have any standardized meaning under IFRS and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other mining companies. It
should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. 
 The following is a
reconciliation of EBITDA to the consolidated financial statements:

 Additional GAAP Measures 

Additional GAAP measures are presented on the face of the Company’s consolidated statements of comprehensive income and are not meant to
be a substitute for other subtotals or totals presented in accordance with IFRS, but rather should be evaluated in conjunction with such IFRS measures. The following additional GAAP measures are used and are intended to provide an indication of the
Company’s mine and operating performance: 
  

	•	 	 Earnings from operations—represents the amount of earnings before net finance income/expense,
foreign exchange gain/loss, other income/loss, and income tax expense

 Q3 2016 Management’s Discussion and Analysis 

 
  

Accounting Estimates, Policies and Changes 
  

Accounting Estimates 
 The preparation of
the Company’s consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The critical estimates
and judgments applied in the preparation of the Company’s condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 are consistent with those used in the Company’s consolidated
financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015. 
 Accounting Policies and Changes 

The accounting policies applied in the condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2016 are consistent with those used in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015, with the exceptions listed in note 2 of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements
for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016. 
 Internal Control over Financial Reporting 

 
 Management is responsible for the
design and operating effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with IFRS. In making the
assessment, management used the criteria set forth in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013), issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on a review of its internal control procedures at
the end of the period covered by this MD&A, management believes its internal controls and procedures are appropriately designed as at September 30, 2016. 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting 

 
 There were no changes in the
Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2016 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial
reporting. 
 Disclosure Controls 
  

Management is also responsible for the design and effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures to provide reasonable assurance that
material information related to the Company, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to the Company’s certifying officers. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have each evaluated the design of
the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as at September 30, 2016 and have concluded that these are appropriately designed. 

Limitations of Controls and Procedures 
  

The Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, believe that internal controls over financial
reporting and disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be properly designed and effective can provide only reasonable assurance that the
objectives of the control system are met. 
 Cautionary Note to U.S. Investors 

 
 Measured, Indicated and Inferred
Resources: The Company is required to prepare its resource estimates in accordance with standards of the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum referred to in Canadian National Instrument
43-101 (NI 43-101). These standards are materially different from the standards generally permitted in reports filed with the United States Securities and Exchange
Commission. This MD&A uses the terms “measured”, “indicated” or “inferred” resources which are not recognized by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. The estimation of measured resources and
indicated resources involve greater uncertainty as to their existence and economic feasibility than the estimation of proven and probable reserves. U.S. investors are cautioned not to assume that any part of measured or indicated resources will ever
be converted into economically or legally mineable proven or probable reserves. The estimation of inferred resources may not form the basis of a feasibility or other economic studies and involves far greater uncertainty as to their existence and
economic viability than the estimation of other categories of resources.

 Q3 2016 Management’s Discussion and Analysis 

 
  

International Financial Reporting Standards: The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared by
management in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, Interim Financial Reporting, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. These accounting principles differ in certain material respects from accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The Company’s reporting currency is the United States dollar unless otherwise noted. 

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements 

 
 This MD&A contains forward-looking
statements and forward-looking information as defined under Canadian and U.S. securities laws. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, are, or may be deemed to be, forward-looking statements. Words such as “expect”,
“believe”, “anticipate”, “will”, “intend”, “estimate”, “forecast”, “budget” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. 

Forward-looking statements include information as to strategy, plans or future financial or operating performance, such as the Company’s
expansion plans, project timelines, production plans and expected sustainable productivity increases, expected increases in mining activities and corresponding cost efficiencies, expected drilling targets, expected sustaining costs, expected
improvements in cash flows and margins, expectations of changes in capital expenditures, forecasted cash shortfalls and the Company’s ability to fund them, cost estimates, projected exploration results, reserve and resource estimates, expected
production rates and use of the stockpile inventory, expected recoveries, sufficiency of working capital for future commitments and other statements that express management’s expectations or estimates of future performance. 

Forward-looking statements are necessarily based upon a number of factors and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by management at
the time of making such statements, are inherently subject to significant business, economic, political and competitive uncertainties and contingencies. Known and unknown factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected
in the forward-looking statements. 
 Such factors and assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements in this document include, but
are not limited to: changes to current estimates of mineral reserves and resources; changes to production estimates (which assume accuracy of projected ore grade, mining rates, recovery timing and recovery rate estimates and may be impacted by
unscheduled maintenance, labour and contractor availability and other operating or technical difficulties); fluctuations in the price of gold; changes in foreign exchange rates (particularly the Canadian dollar, Mexican peso, Turkish Lira and U.S.
dollar); the impact of inflation; changes in our credit rating; any decision to declare a quarterly dividend; employee relations; litigation; disruptions affecting operations; availability of and increased costs associated with mining inputs and
labour; development delays at the Young-Davidson mine; inherent risks associated with mining and mineral processing; the risk that the Young-Davidson, Mulatos and El Chanate mines may not perform as planned; uncertainty with the Company’s
ability to secure additional capital to execute its business plans; the speculative nature of mineral exploration and development, including the risks of obtaining necessary licenses and permits, including the necessary licenses, permits,
authorizations and/or approvals from the appropriate regulatory authorities for the Company’s development stage assets, including specifically its Turkish mineral properties; contests over title to properties; changes in national and local
government legislation (including tax legislation) in Canada, Mexico, Turkey, the United States and other jurisdictions in which the Company does or may carry on business in the future; risk of loss due to sabotage and civil disturbances; the impact
of global liquidity and credit availability and the values of assets and liabilities based on projected future cash flows; risks arising from holding derivative instruments; and business opportunities that may be pursued by the Company 

Additional risk factors and details with respect to risk factors affecting the Company are set out in the Company’s Annual Information
Form for the year ended December 31, 2015 under the heading “Risk Factors”, which is available on the SEDAR website at www.sedar.com. The foregoing should be reviewed in conjunction with the information found in this MD&A. 

The Company disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information,
future events or otherwise, except as required by applicable law.

	Item 2	Details of Acquisition 

  

	2.1	Nature of Business Acquired 

 Alamos Gold Inc. (“Former
Alamos”) and AuRico Gold Inc. (“AuRico”) entered into an arrangement agreement on April 12, 2015 (the “Arrangement Agreement”) to combine their respective companies by way of an arrangement (the “Arrangement”)
under the provisions of the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) (the “OBCA”), creating a new, leading intermediate gold producer to be named “Alamos Gold Inc.” (“Alamos” or the “Company”). 

The Arrangement which was completed on July 2, 2015, combined two highly-complementary
asset portfolios, including two long-life, cash flow-generating gold mines: AuRico’s Young Davidson mine in Ontario, Canada, and Former Alamos’ Mulatos mine in Sonora, Mexico, in addition to a pipeline of development and grass roots
exploration projects. 
 In addition, as set out in detail in the Circular (see below), a new company, AuRico Metals Inc.
(“AuRico Metals”) was formed to hold certain assets of AuRico, including the Kemess project, certain royalties and cash. Approximately 95.1% of the common shares of AuRico Metals (“AuRico Metals Shares”) were distributed to
Former Alamos and AuRico shareholders. Following completion of the Arrangement, Alamos holds an equity interest of approximately 4.9% in AuRico Metals.

 Detailed information about each of the respective businesses (including AuRico
Metals) can be found in the joint management information circular dated May 22, 2015, available under Former Alamos and AuRico’s SEDAR (www.sedar.com) profiles (the “Circular”). For the purposes of go-forward accounting treatment, Former Alamos is considered the acquired company. 
  

	2.2	Acquisition Date 

 July 2, 2015 

 

	2.3	Consideration 

 Under the terms of the Arrangement, each Former Alamos
Gold share held was exchanged for one (1) Class A common share of Alamos (“Class A Shares”), US$0.0001 in cash, and 0.4397 AuRico Metals Shares, and each AuRico Gold share held was exchanged for 0.5046 Class A Shares
and 0.2219 AuRico Metals Shares. 
 Alamos has approximately 255,505,000 Class A Shares outstanding with former Alamos
and former AuRico shareholders each owning approximately 50% and AuRico Metals has approximately 118,120,000 shares outstanding with former Alamos and former AuRico shareholders each owning approximately 50% of the shares not held by Alamos. 

 

	2.4	Effect on Financial Position 

 The effect of the Acquisition on the
Company’s financial position is outlined in the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements attached as Appendix A to this Report. 

The Company does not presently plan or propose to make any material change in its business or affairs that would reasonably be
expected to have a significant effect on the results of operations or financial position of the Company, except as otherwise disclosed in its public filings on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. 

 

	2.5	Prior Valuations 

 None. 

 

	2.6	Parties to Transaction 

 The Arrangement was not with an “informed
person” (as such term is defined in Section 1.1 of National Instrument 51-102 Continuous Disclosure Obligations), associate or affiliate of Alamos or AuRico.

 Alamos Gold Inc. 

Notes to the Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements 

March 31, 2015 
 (In
thousands of United States dollars, unless otherwise noted) 
  

	1.	 Description of the transaction 

The pro forma consolidated financial statements have been prepared for the purpose of inclusion in the Business Acquisition Report dated August
7, 2015 in connection with the definitive agreement (the “Arrangement Agreement”) which closed on July 2, 2015, pursuant to which AuRico Gold Inc. (“AuRico”) and Alamos Gold Inc. (“Former Alamos”) combined by way of a
statutory arrangement under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) (the “Arrangement”) to form a new intermediate gold producer, Alamos Gold Inc. (“Alamos”). 

Under the Arrangement, each share of Former Alamos was exchanged for one Alamos Class A common share (equivalent to 1.9818 existing
AuRico shares) and $0.0001 in cash and each share of AuRico was exchanged for 0.5046 Class A common shares of Alamos. Also under the Arrangement, all Former Alamos options, warrants, stock appreciation rights, restricted share units and
deferred share units, and all AuRico options, performance share units, restricted share units and deferred share units, were exchanged for equivalent Alamos awards and were adjusted as contemplated by the Arrangement. 

In addition, in accordance with the Arrangement, AuRico Metals Inc. (“AuRico Metals”), AuRico and Former Alamos entered into a
contribution agreement (the “AuRico Metals Contribution Agreement”), whereby AuRico Metals was transferred the Kemess Project, a new 1.5% net smelter return royalty on the Young-Davidson mine (the
“Y-D Royalty”), and the Fosterville, Leviathan and Stawell net smelter return royalties, cash in an amount equal to $20 million less the Converted Committed Amount (as defined below), and cash
in an amount equal to the Earn- In Committed Amount (which amount must be spent by AuRico Metals as agent and on behalf of Alamos on Canadian exploration expenses). 

In addition, AuRico Metals granted to Alamos a right to earn up to a 30% interest in the Kemess East Project by spending $20 million
Canadian dollars (“CAD”) on the Kemess East Project by December 31, 2016, of which $9.5 million CAD, subject to upward adjustment, is a committed amount (such amount in CAD, the “Earn-In
Committed Amount”, or such amount converted into US dollars based on the Bank of Canada noon exchange rate on the business day immediately prior to the completion of the Arrangement, the “Converted Committed Amount”). The Earn-In
Committed Amount was paid to AuRico Metals on July 2, 2015 and must be spent by AuRico Metals as agent and on behalf of Alamos on Canadian exploration expenses. 

If Alamos does not elect to spend the remaining $10.5 million CAD before January 5, 2016, or does not spend or pay to AuRico Metals to
spend on its behalf the remaining $10.5 million CAD by December 31, 2016, Alamos shall not earn any interest in the Kemess East Project and shall not be entitled to any credit, refund or other compensation or reimbursement for amounts spent by
it (including the Earn-In Committed Amount). If Alamos does receive the earn-in interest, Alamos and AuRico Metals will enter into a joint venture on the Kemess East Project. At any time after Alamos earns
into the Kemess East Project, AuRico Metals shall have the right to buy-back Alamos’s interest for approximately $11.55 million CAD, which can be paid in cash or shares of AuRico Metals. 

Upon completion of the Arrangement, Alamos owned 4.9% of AuRico Metals, and the remaining 95.1% of AuRico Metals shares will be distributed by
Alamos to holders of Class A common shares pro rata to their holdings of Class A common shares.

	2.	 Basis of presentation 

These pro forma consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management of Alamos based on financial statements which were prepared
in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) to give effect to the transactions described in Note 1. 

The pro forma consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2014 and unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of
operations the three months March 31, 2015 give effect to the transaction described in note 1 as if they had occurred on January 1, 2014. 

The pro forma consolidated balance sheet as at March 31, 2015 gives effect to the transactions described in note 1 as if they had occurred on
March 31, 2015. 
 The pro forma consolidated financial statements were based on and should be read in conjunction with the: 

 

	•	 	 separate audited consolidated financial statements of AuRico as at and for the year ended December 31, 2014,
prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB; 

  

	•	 	 separate audited consolidated financial statements of Former Alamos as at and for the year ended
December 31, 2014, prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB; 

  

	•	 	 unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of AuRico as at and for the three months ended March 31,
2015, prepared in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting (“IAS 34”); and 

  

	•	 	 unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of Former Alamos as at and for the three months ended
March 31, 2015, prepared in accordance with IAS 34. 

 The pro forma consolidated financial statements as at and for
the three months ended March 31, 2015 and for the year ended December 31, 2014 was prepared using the acquisition method of accounting. AuRico is considered the legal and accounting acquirer of Former Alamos, and accordingly, these pro forma
consolidated financial statements give effect to the business combination reflecting AuRico as the acquirer for accounting purposes. At the time of preparation of these pro forma consolidated financial statements, the measurement of the fair value
of the consideration issued and of the assets and liabilities assumed is dependent upon certain valuations and other studies or events that have yet to progress to a stage where there is sufficient information for a definitive measurement.
Accordingly, the pro forma adjustments are preliminary and have been made solely for the purpose of providing pro forma consolidated financial statements. Differences between these preliminary estimates and the final acquisition accounting could
occur and these differences could have a material impact on the accompanying pro forma consolidated financial statements and the combined company’s future results of operations and financial position. 

Certain reclassifications have been made to the historical financial statements of Former Alamos in the preparation of the pro forma
consolidated financial statements to conform to the financial statement presentation currently adopted by AuRico, and to align the accounting policies of Former Alamos to those applied by AuRico. 

The historical consolidated financial statements have been adjusted to give effect to pro forma events that are (1) directly attributable
to the transactions, (2) factually supportable, and (3) with respect to the income statement, expected to have a continuing impact on the consolidated results. 

The assets acquired and liabilities assumed of Former Alamos will be recorded as of the completion of the Arrangement, primarily at their
respective fair values and added to those of AuRico. The results of operations of Former Alamos will be included in the financial statements of the combined company as of the date of the completion of the Arrangement. 

  
 10 

 In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have
been included. No adjustments have been made to reflect any cost savings, operating synergies, or revenue enhancements that the combined company may achieve as a result of the Arrangement, the costs to integrate the operations of AuRico and Former
Alamos, or the costs necessary to achieve any cost savings, operating synergies or revenue enhancements. The pro forma information is not necessarily indicative of what the combined company’s financial position or results of operations actually
would have been had the Arrangement been completed as of the dates indicated. In addition, the pro forma consolidated financial statements do not purport to project the future financial position or operating results of the combined company. 

For the purposes of the application of IFRIC 17, fair values of the assets distributed to AuRico Metals was determined effective July 2, 2015,
and any resulting gain or loss will recorded in the Statement of Operations of Alamos at that time, rather than in the pro forma consolidated financial statements. 
  

	3.	 Accounting policies 

The pro forma consolidated financial statements have been prepared using accounting policies consistent with the policies used in preparing
AuRico’s audited consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2014, prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB. 
  

	4.	 Estimated consideration transferred 

The pro forma consolidated financial statements reflect the following preliminary estimate of consideration to be transferred to effect the

	  		  	$	727,572	  
		  		  	  
	  
	 

  
 11 

	(1)	 In accordance with the acquisition method of accounting, the fair value of equity securities issued as part of
the consideration transferred was measured on the closing date of the Arrangement at the market price, being $2.86 per share on July 2, 2015. 

  

	5.	 Estimate of assets to be acquired and liabilities to be assumed 

The pro forma consolidated financial statements reflect the following preliminary estimate of the assets to be acquired and the liabilities to
be assumed in the Arrangement, reconciled to the consideration transferred (note 4) as a result of the Arrangement as at March 31, 2015: 
  

					
	 Book value of net assets acquired
	  	$	786,436	  
	 Fair value and other adjustments to:
	  			
	 Mining interests(i)
	  	 	(7,245	) 
	 Trade payables and accrued
liabilities(ii)
	  	 	(921	) 
	 Deferred income tax liability(iii)
	  	 	(50,698	) 
		  	  
	  
	 
	 Estimate of consideration expected to be transferred
	  	$	727,572	  
		  	  
	  
	 

  

	(i)	 Reflects an adjustment of ($7,245) to record the preliminary fair value adjustment allocated to Alamos’
mining interests, resulting in a total fair value of $430,214. 

	(ii)	 Represents an adjustment of $921 to record the preliminary fair value adjustment related to the replacement
SARs, RSUs, and DSUs which are cash-settled and accounted for as liabilities. 

	(iii)	 Represents the estimated deferred income tax liability, calculated based on an estimated substantively enacted
income tax rate in each jurisdiction, multiplied by the difference between fair value and the tax basis of the assets. 

  

	6.	 Pro forma adjustments and assumptions 

Adjustments included in the “Pro forma adjustments” column represent the following: 

 

	(i)	 These pro forma adjustments eliminate the historical equity accounts of Alamos. 

 

	(ii)	 This pro forma adjustment reflects the issuance of 252,473,595 common shares of AuRico at $2.86 per share in
connection with the acquisition of 100% of the outstanding shares of Former Alamos. 

  

	(iii)	 This pro forma adjustment reflects the cash consideration of $0.0001 per common share paid to shareholders of
Former Alamos in accordance with the Arrangement, multiplied by 127,396,102, being the common shares of Former Alamos outstanding on July 2, 2015. 

  

	(iv)	 This pro forma adjustment reflects the fair value of replacement stock options outstanding with a total
estimated fair value of $798, replacement SARs with a total estimated fair value of $560, replacement RSUs with a total estimated fair value of $1,891 and replacement DSUs with a total estimated fair value of $924. This adjustment also represents
the fair value of replacement warrants with a total estimated fair value of $1,312. This adjustment also reflects the $921 increase in trade payables and accrued liabilities relating to the increased value of the
cash-settled RSUs, DSUs, and SARs. 

  

	(v)	 This pro forma adjustment reflects the capitalization of AuRico Metals with $20,000 cash, as per the
Arrangement. Of this amount, $7,560 ($9,500 CAD) represents the Converted Committed Amount (Earn-In Committed Amount), which will be converted into US dollars based on the Bank of Canada noon exchange rate on
the business day immediately prior to the completion of the Arrangement. The Earn-In Committed Amount must be spent by AuRico Metals as agent and on behalf of Alamos on Canadian exploration expenses.

  
 12 

	(vi)	 This pro forma adjustment reflects AuRico and Former Alamos’ combined estimated transaction costs of
approximately $21,844 associated with the Arrangement. These costs are reflected as an adjustment to cash and cash equivalents and the deficit balance. These costs are not expected to continue, and as such, an adjustment has not been included within
the pro forma consolidated income statement. 

  

	(vii)	 This pro forma adjustment reflects the increase in production costs associated with the payment of the Y-D royalty to AuRico Metals. 

  

	(viii)	 This pro forma adjustment reinstates the current tax receivables previously eliminated in the AuRico Metals
adjustments as all tax receivables will remain with Alamos as per the Arrangement. 

  

	(ix)	 This pro forma adjustment reflects the estimated decrease to mining interests associated with the preliminary
fair value adjustment of approximately $7,245 (note 5). Although the fair value of all mining interests decreased, the fair value of producing assets increased. Therefore, the associated increase to amortization and depletion related to the
producing operation is estimated to be approximately $228 and $633 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and the year ended December 31, 2014, respectively, partially offset by a deferred income tax impact of $80 and $223, respectively.

  

	(x)	 This pro forma adjustment reflects the disposal of the book value of the Y-D Royalty, of approximately
$37,309, associated with the AuRico Metals distribution, along with the related deferred income tax impact of $9,406. In addition, a reduction in amortization and depletion of approximately $678 and $3,074 was recognized relating to this transaction
for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and the year ended December 31, 2014, respectively. 

  

	(xi)	 This pro forma adjustment reflects an estimate of the tax impact of the Arrangement on the pro forma balance
sheet, primarily related to the estimated fair value adjustment for mining interests and the capitalization of exploration costs. See note 5. The actual effective tax rate of the combined company could be significantly different [either higher or
lower] than the estimated tax rate, and depends on post-Arrangement activities. 

  

	(xii)	 This pro forma adjustment gives effect to the deferred tax consequences of the transfer of net assets to
AuRico Metals, after the previously eliminated deferred tax liability included in the AuRico Metals adjustments. 

  

	(xiii)	 This pro forma adjustment reflects the capitalization of exploration costs incurred and previously expensed by
Alamos in accordance with AuRico’s accounting policy. 

  

	(xiv)	 This pro forma adjustment presents Former Alamos’ silver sales in revenue from mining operations on a
basis consistent with the presentation in AuRico’s consolidated financial statements. 

  

	(xv)	 This pro forma adjustment represents the 4.9% investment in AuRico Metals retained by Alamos.

  

	(xvi)	 These pro forma adjustments eliminate the AuRico Metals assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses based on
amounts included in the Kemess Project and Royalties carve-out financial statements. 

  
 13 

	(xvii)	 The pro forma consolidated basic and diluted earnings per share for the period presented is calculated as
follows: 

  

					
	 For the three months ended March 31, 2015:
	  	(thousands)	 
	 AuRico’s weighted average number of shares outstanding – basic and diluted
	  	 	250,839	  
	 Adjustment for AuRico common shares assumed issued on January 1, 2014 to Alamos shareholders
in connection with the Arrangement
