FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

This presentation 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 forward-looking statements. The words "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, projected cash flows or capital expenditures, cost

estimates, projected exploration results, reserve and resource estimates 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, are

inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies. Known and unknown factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those

projected in the forward-looking statements, including: uncertainty of production and cost estimates; fluctuations in the price of gold and foreign exchange

rates; the uncertainty of replacing depleted reserves; the risk that the Young-Davidson shaft will not perform as planned; the risk that mining operations do not

meet expectations; the risk that projects will not be developed accordingly to budgets or timelines, changes in laws in Canada, Mexico and other jurisdictions

in which the Company may carry on business; risks of obtaining necessary licenses, permits or approvals for operations or projects such as Kemess; disputes

over title to properties; the speculative nature of mineral exploration and development; risks related to aboriginal title claims; compliance risks with respect to

current and future environmental regulations; disruptions affecting operations; opportunities that may be pursued by the Company; employee relations;

availability and costs of mining inputs and labor; the ability to secure capital to execute business plans; volatility of the Company’s share price; continuation of

the dividend and dividend reinvestment plan; the effect of future financings; litigation; risk of loss due to sabotage and civil disturbances; the values of assets

and liabilities based on projected future cash flows; risks arising from derivative instruments or the absence of hedging; adequacy of internal control over

financial reporting; changes in credit rating; and the impact of inflation.

Actual results and developments are likely to differ, and may differ materially, from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements contained

herein. Such statements are based on a number of assumptions which may prove to be incorrect, including assumptions about: business and economic

conditions; commodity prices and the price of key inputs such as labour, fuel and electricity; credit market conditions and conditions in financial markets

generally; revenue and cash flow estimates, production levels, development schedules and the associated costs; ability to procure equipment and supplies

and on a timely basis; the timing of the receipt of permits and other approvals for projects and operations; the ability to attract and retain skilled employees and

contractors for the operations; the accuracy of reserve and resource estimates; the impact of changes in currency exchange rates on costs and results;

interest rates; taxation; and ongoing relations with employees and business partners. 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.

Cautionary Note to U.S. Investors Concerning Measured, Indicated and Inferred Resources

This presentation uses the terms "measured," "indicated" and "inferred” resources. We advise investors that while those terms are recognized and required by

Canadian regulations, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission does not recognize them. “Inferred” resources” have a great amount of

uncertainty as to their existence and as to their economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of an inferred resource will ever be

upgraded to a higher category. Under Canadian rules, estimates of inferred mineral resources may not form the basis of feasibility or other economic studies.

United States investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of measured or indicated mineral resources will ever be converted into mineral

reserves. United States investors are also cautioned not to assume that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource exists, or is economically or legally

mineable.

Endnotes

1. Data provided by the Timmins Resident Geologist Program Ontario Geological Survey for the Ministry of Northern Development & Mines (2006).

2. Production figures include gold ounces only. Production at the Young-Davidson mine includes pre-production ounces, which include ounces produced prior to the

declaration of commercial production on September 1, 2012, and the declaration of commercial production in the underground mine on October 31, 2013.

3. Cash Costs per Gold Ounce and All-In Sustaining Costs Per Gold Ounce are Non-GAAP measures that do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by

International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS” or “GAAP”), and that should not be considered in isolation from or as a substitute for performance measures

prepared in accordance with GAAP. See the Non-GAAP Measures section on page 23 of the Management's Discussion and Analysis for the year ended

December 31, 2013 available on the Company website at www.auricogold.com. 2013 cash costs are prior to inventory net realizable value adjustments &

reversals.

4. Cash costs for the Young-Davidson mine is calculated on a per gold ounce basis, net of by-product revenues and net realizable value adjustments. Prior to 2014,

gold ounces include ounces produced at the Young-Davidson mine. Commencing in 2014 cash costs for the Young-Davidson mine will be calculated based on

ounces sold. Prior to commissioning the underground mine at Young-Davidson, cash costs were calculated on ounces produced from the open pit only. All

underground costs were capitalized, and any revenue related to underground ounces sold was credited against capital expenditures. Subsequent to the

declaration of commercial production in the underground mine, cash costs are calculated on ounces produced from both the open pit and underground mines,

and revenue related to the sale of underground ounces is recognized in the Company’s Statement of Operations as revenue. 2013 cash costs are prior to

inventory net realizable value adjustments & reversals.
