FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

Safe Harbor Statement & Cautionary Note to U.S. Investors Concerning Resource Estimates

This presentation contains forward-looking statements that include risks and uncertainties. The factors that couldcause actual results to differ materially from those indicated in such forward-looking statements include changes in theprevailing price of gold, the Canadian-U.S. exchange rate, grade of ore mined and unforeseen difficulties in miningoperations that could affect revenue and production costs. Other factors such as uncertainties regarding governmentregulations could also affect the results. Other risks may be detailed from time to time in Richmont Mines Inc.’speriodic reports and annual notice.

The resource estimates in this presentation were prepared in accordance with NI 43-101 adopted by the CanadianSecurities Administrators. The requirements of NI 43-101 differ significantly from the requirements of the United StatesSecurities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). In this presentation, we use the terms “Measured”, “Indicated” and“Inferred” Resources. Although these terms are recognized and required to be used in Canada, the SEC does notrecognize them. The SEC permits U.S. mining corporations, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose only those mineraldeposits that constitute “Reserves”. Under United States standards, mineralization may not be classified as a Reserveunless the determination has been made that the mineralization could be economically and legally extracted at the timethe determination is made. United States investors should not assume that all or any portion of a Measured orIndicated Resource will ever be converted into “Reserves”. Furthermore, “Inferred Resources” have a great amount ofuncertainty as to their existence and whether they can be mined economically or legally, and United States investorsshould not assume that “Inferred Resources” exist or can be legally or economically mined, or that they will ever beupgraded to a more certain category.

U.S. Investors are urged to consider the disclosure in our annual report on Form 20-F, File No. 001-14598, which maybe obtained from us or from the SEC’s web site: http://sec.gov/edgar.shtml.

(All amounts are in Canadian dollars, unless otherwise indicated.)

ISLAND GOLD MINESignificant Potential for Long-Term Growth

© 2015 by Richmont Mines

Developing a 1+ million ounce, high-grade global gold resource below an operating, permitted and staffed mine in Ontario

• Northern Ontario is a relatively young and underexplored mining district;

• Favourable regional geology that supported small past producers;

• Several larger mines being established in region;

• Significant exploration potential: near-mine and across 77.0 km2 Island Gold property package.

Preliminary Economic AssessmentBased on the portion of the resources located between 450L and 860L

Page 19: Island Gold Mine Technical Session Presentation

• Mining - Phase 1 PEA:

Mining of indicated and inferred resources from 450L to 860L considered for the PEA;

Resources above 450L, isolated resource block and parallel zones outside the main area of the studywere excluded;

Over 2M tonnes of mineralized material considered part of Phase 1;

Considers long-hole mining method over 3 mining horizons;

• Base Case scenario (800 tpd by ramp):

Access to the deposit is planned through continued development of existing internal ramp;

Average production of approximately 78,000oz Au per year from 2017 to 2022, at an average dilutedmined grade of 8.67 g/t Au;

Estimated average cash costs of approximately $552/oz Au for the period 2017 – 2022;

Sustaining capital costs of $40.5M for the period 2017 – 2022.

• Expanded Scenario Analysis:

The PEA shows that once the mining activities reach the third mining horizon in the first half of 2017,mining productivity could potentially be increased to 1,150tpd;

To accommodate an expanded mining rate, numerous options were evaluated using a number of criteria;

A dedicated production haulage ramp from 450L to mill facilities utilizing 45t trucks and dumping intomill ore bins shown as superior alternative;

Potential capital requirement for the dedicated ramp and related infrastructure estimated at $16.6M.

• 18 potential options were identified during a brainstorming session. These options can be grouped in 5 categories;• Shafts• Winzes• Vertical Conveyor System• Horizontal Conveyor Systems• Ramps system with trucks.

• Following a preliminary CAPEX and OPEX estimation 5 options wereretained and evaluated in greater detail;• Status Quo• Full service, long shaft, timbered• Winze, full service, timbered• From 450L, 60’’ conveyor in a ramp reaching mill sector• Double ramp from 450L to minimize traffic

▪ At 800 tpd, with current mineral resources, status quo is themost attractive option;

▪ Shaft options are not attractive due to high capital requirementsand modest gain in Opex since no ore pass system can bejustified at this point;

▪ Options involving a new ramp reaching the mill directly isinteresting due to a 2$/t credit gained by eliminating truckingore on surface. Can be quickly implemented;

▪ All options involving high capital investments are not attractivesince the total tonnage (2MT) is not sufficient to justify theinvestment.

Based on December 31st, 2014 Mineral Reserves and Resources;

Mineral reserves included in this PEA mine plan were re-categorized asM&I resources;

Excludes isolated R&R blocks to the west;

Includes 2.09 MT of mineralized material between the 450L and 860L;

Double ramp system from 740 to 860m levels to allow multipleproduction stope mining and improve cycle times;

Can support a productivity enhancement to 1,150 tpd starting in early2017.

• Following the NPV-R analysis, the economics of driving a new ramp but replacing the installation of conveyor by used of 45 tons trucks was also looked at and selected as best option.

• Lower total project capital option;• Implementation time can be 12 months after start-up;• Eliminates surface rehandling;• Allowed greater flexibility for further growth beyond

1,150 t/day;• Does not limit growth below 1,000L as internal shaft

could potentially be added;• Further engineering required

49,196 oz(1) Resources are exclusive of Reserves, and do not have demonstrated economic viability at this time. (2) Established on December 31/14, using a gold

price of US$1,200/oz and an exchange rate of CAN$1.0833=US$1.00. In 2013, a price of US$1,225/oz and an exchange rate of CAN$1.06=US$1.00 were used. (3) Underground Resources established for the C Zone and six other lateral zones below a vertical depth of -400 metres.

Mineral resources were estimated by 3D block modeling with blocks of 5m x 5m x 2 m for the Upper part and blocks of 10m x 10m x 5m for the lower part of the mine. Grade estimation was done by ordinary Kriging or ID2
