any Disclosed Principal is not a person described in paragraphs 6.1(b) or
6.1(c) above, the subscription for the Units by the Subscriber does not
contravene any of the applicable securities legislation in the jurisdiction in

Company to prepare and file a prospectus or similar document or to register the
Units or to be registered with, or to file any report or notice with, any
governmental or regulatory authority.

constitute a material default under any term or provision of the constating
documents, by-laws or resolutions of the Subscriber, the Securities Laws or any
other laws applicable to the Subscriber, any agreement to which the Subscriber
is a party, or any judgment, decree, order, statute, rule or regulation

limitation, determining the Subscriber’s eligibility to purchase the Units under
the Securities Laws and other applicable securities laws, preparing and
registering certificates representing Units to be issued to the Subscriber and
completing filings required by any stock exchange or securities regulatory
authority. The Subscriber’s personal information may be disclosed by the
Company and its advisors to: (a) stock exchanges or securities regulatory
authorities, (b) the tax authorities, and (c) any of the other parties involved

Act, to execute a transaction in those securities on a Canadian stock exchange
if that member knows that the purchaser is in the United States or a U.S.
Person or is acting for the account or benefit of a U.S. Person.  Also, the Canadian broker-dealer must make
reasonable efforts to ascertain whether a purchaser is in the United States or
is a U.S. Person or is acting for the account or benefit of a U.S. Person and
implement measures designed to assure reasonable compliance with this
requirement.

Re: 
Finder’s Fee — Allied Nevada Gold Corp. Private Placement

Further to our recent
conversations, this letter agreement (the “Letter Agreement”) will confirm our discussions
and, when executed, will constitute a legally binding agreement for the payment
by Allied Nevada Gold Corp. (the “Company”) to Global Resource Investments Ltd.
(the “Finder”) of a finder’s fee (the “Finder’s Fee”) in connection with the
proposed private placement by the Company (the “U.S. Financing”) of units (the “Units”)
of securities of the Company, each Unit comprised of one Share and one Common
Share Purchase Warrant, in respect of persons in the United States of America
introduced by the Finder to the Company, or associates or affiliates of such
persons (the “U.S. Investors”). 
Capitalized terms not defined herein have the meanings given them in the
Subscription Agreement, as amended, (the “Subscription Agreement) of
approximate even date between the Company and the Subscribers named therein.

The Finder confirms that
it has introduced or will use commercially reasonable efforts to introduce
potential U.S. Investors to the Company as possible funding sources.  In consideration for the Finder’s services in
introducing and/or using commercially reasonable efforts to introduce U.S.
Investors to the Company, the Company has agreed to pay, the Finder’s Fee to
the Finder on any part of this U.S. Financing which is ultimately completed by
the Company and the U.S. Investors.  The
terms of the proposed U.S. Financing and Finder’s Fee are as follows:

The purchase and sale of
the Units form part of a larger sale of an aggregate of 3,696,000 Units
offered:

(a)                                  On a non-brokered private placement basis in
the United States of America by the Company to purchasers who are U.S. Persons
(or acting for the account or benefit of U.S. Persons or Persons in the United
States) introduced to the Company by the Finder.

(b)                                 On a non-brokered private placement basis in
Canada by the Company to purchasers who are “accredited investors” introduced
to the Company by another finder; and

(c)                                  By the Company directly to certain of its
directors and executive officers, without involvement by any finder.

1.                                       Financing.             The U.S. Financing will be on the terms and conditions
as set out in the Subscription Agreement.

2.                                       Finder’s Fees.   Subject to the receipt of any required
regulatory or other approvals, the Finder will be paid a Finder’s Fee pursuant
to this Letter Agreement, equal to five percent (5%) of the gross proceeds
received by the Company from the sale of the Units to U.S. Investors introduced
to the Company by the Finder.  The Finder’s Fee will be paid to the Finder
in cash at closing of the U.S. Financing.

3.                                       Closing. 
The Finder does not have any obligations or responsibilities in
respect of the U.S. Financing and the completion of the U.S. Financing is the
responsibility of the Company and the U.S. Investors.  However, the Finder agrees to use its
reasonable best efforts to assist the Company and the U.S. Investors with
administrative matters related to Closing, including exchange and delivery of
documents and subscription funds at each Closing of the Financing.  In addition, the Finder agrees that on or
prior to the Closing Date, as such term is defined in the Subscription
Agreement, it will execute and deliver to the Company a Certificate in
substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A.

4.                                       No Agency. 
The Company acknowledges to the Finder that:

(a)                               the
Finder is not and has not acted as its agent in respect of the U.S. Financing,
and the Finder’s Fee is paid as consideration only for the Finder’s services in
introducing the U.S. Investors to the Company and/or using its commercially
reasonable efforts to introduce U.S. Investors to the Company;

(d)                                 the
Finder will be paid the Finder’s Fee by the Company upon the closing of the
U.S. Financing or a portion thereof; and

(e)                                  the
Finder’s Fee is payable to the Finder irrespective of any other commissions or
fees which the Company may pay to any broker or other third party in respect of
the U.S. Financing.

5.                                       Indemnity. 
The Company agrees to indemnify the Finder in respect of the U.S.
Financing, on the terms and conditions as set out in the form of Indemnity
attached to this Letter Agreement, and agrees to deliver to the Finder a duly
executed Indemnity concurrently with signing of this Letter Agreement.

6.                                       Governing Law.  This Letter Agreement and the payment of
the Finder’s Fee shall be governed by the laws of the State of California.

7.                                       Agreement.          This
Letter Agreement, including Exhibit A and Indemnity attached hereto, represents
the entire agreement between the parties and supersedes any and all prior
agreements and understandings, whether written or oral, between the
parties.  This Letter Agreement may not
be amended or otherwise modified except by an instrument in writing signed by
all parties hereto.

If the foregoing
accurately sets out your understanding of our agreement, please sign the
acknowledgement below and return a signed copy of this letter at your earliest
convenience, by fax, to the Finder at (760) 943-3940.
