CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD‐LOOKING STATEMENTS This presentation and certain oral statements of management related thereto contain or may contain forward‐looking statements within the meaning of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933 and U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the United States Private Securities Litigations Reform Act of 1995 (and forward‐looking information under equivalent Canadian securities laws), that are intended to be covered by the safe harbor created by such sections. Such forward‐looking statements and information include, without limitation: our future business strategy, plans and goals; our estimated future capital expenditures, construction, and other cash needs and expectations as to the funding or timing thereof; our expansion expectations, including with respect to the Hycroft Mine and Hasbrouck property; our expectations regarding the growth of our business and our estimates of mineral reserves and other mineralized material including measured, indicated and inferred mineral resources; the economic potential of the sulfide mineralization and milling project at the Hycroft Mine; the preliminary economic assessment at the Hasbrouck property; the anticipated results of the exploration drilling programs at our properties; future gold and silver prices; our production estimates; our expectations regarding gold and silver recovery; our estimated future sales and cost of sales; our anticipated cash flows and cash operating costs; the availability, terms and costs related to future borrowing, debt repayment, and equity funding; and other statements that are not historical facts. The words “estimate,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “expect,” “intend,” “believe,” “project,” “target,” “budget,” “forecast,” “may,” “will,” “would,” “could,” “might,” “seeks,” or “scheduled to,” or other similar words, or negatives of these terms or other variations of these terms or comparable language or a discussion of strategy or intentions identify forward‐looking statements. Although Allied Nevada management believes that its expectations are based on reasonable assumptions, it can give no assurance that these expectations will prove correct. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward‐looking statements and information include, but are not limited to: volatile market prices of gold and silver; risks related to the heap leaching process at the Hycroft Mine, including but not limited to gold recovery rates, gold extraction rates, and the grades of ore placed on our leach pads; risks related to our ability to timely process the gold on carbon; uncertainties concerning estimates of mineral reserves, and other mineralized materials, including without limitation, measured, indicated and inferred resources, and grading; cost of compliance with current and future government regulations, including those related to environmental protection, mining, health and safety, corporate governance and public disclosure; uncertainties relating to obtaining or retaining approvals and permits from governmental regulatory authorities; our ability to achieve our estimated production rates and stay within our estimated operating costs; the commercial success of our exploration and development activities; an increase in the cost or timing of new projects; our current intention not to use forward‐sale arrangements; the inherently hazardous nature of mining activities, including operational, geotechnical and environmental risks; our ability to raise additional capital on favorable terms or at all; intense competition within the mining industry; uncertainties related to our ability to find and acquire new mineral properties; potential operational and financial effects of current and proposed federal and state regulations related to environmental protection and mining, and the exposure to potential liability created by such regulations; availability of equipment or supplies; our ability to attract and retain personnel; our ability to manage our growth; potential challenges to title in our mineral properties; risks associated with the expansion of our operations, including those associated with any future acquisitions or joint ventures; risks that our principal stockholders will be able to exert significant influence over matters submitted to stockholders for approval; and potential conflicts of interests that may arise through some of our directors’ involvement with other natural resources companies, as well as those factors discussed in Allied Nevada’s filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) including Allied Nevada’s latest Annual Report on Form 10‐K and its other SEC filings (and Canadian filings). There can be no assurance that forward‐looking statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward‐looking statements and information. The Company does not intend to publicly update any forward‐looking statements and information, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise except as may be required under applicable securities laws.

CAUTIONARY NOTE ON RESOURCES AND RESERVES U.S. Investors are cautioned that the terms “measured”, “indicated” and “inferred” resources and “probable” or “proven” reserves are not recognized by the SEC and they should not assume that any or all of the mineral resources in these categories will ever be converted into SEC defined mineral reserves. Inferred resources have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence and as to whether they can be mined legally or economically. As set forth in this presentation, certain resources disclosed herein have been calculated in accordance with Canadian National Instrument 43‐101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43‐101”), and these may not be comparable to reserves calculated under SEC Industry Guide 7 requirements. U.S. investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of a proven or probable reserve under NI 43‐101 would constitute a reserve under SEC Industry Guide 7 standards or has been determined to be legally mineable. For the details of reserve and resource calculations disclosed herein and the details of key assumptions, parameters and other relevant technical information associated therewith, readers should refer to the technical reports filed on www.sedar.com under the Allied Nevada Gold Corp. profile, for each of the material properties discussed herein. Scott Wilson of Scott E. Wilson Consulting, Inc. is a Certified Professional Geologist and member of the American Institute of Professional Geologists in Denver, Colorado, and is a Qualified Person as defined by NI 43‐101. Mr. Wilson is the independent resource estimate consultant for Allied Nevada Gold Corp. For further information on the geology, mineralization, parameters, assumptions and risks underlying mineral resource and reserve estimates, the technical reports and other technical information with respect to the Hycroft Mine and Hasbrouck Property. “Adjusted cash costs” is a non‐GAAP measure, calculated on a per ounce of gold sold basis, and includes all direct and indirect operating cash costs related to the physical activities of producing gold, including mining, processing, third‐party refining expenses, on‐site administrative and support costs, royalties, and mining production taxes, net of by‐product revenue earned from silver sales.

The information contained in this document is subject to the more detailed information provided in the disclosure documents filed by the Company from time to time on SEDAR and EDGAR.

• Original plan called for a 130,000 tpd plant to begin operation in January 2015

• Current plan is to stage the construction schedule such that:

– 75,000 ton per day grinding and flotation plant initially brought online in 2015 • Similar flow sheet as originally planned

– Oxide and transitional ore to be treated up front, leached on site • Sulfide material would be introduced in the later years, reducing concentrate production

– Build second line once initial plant is operating at nameplate capacity

• Potential benefits:

– Capital spending more aligned with cash flow generation from operations

– Phases in all aspects of growth; manpower, equipment requirements, supervisory skills

– Train a smaller group and allow them to train the second wave of employees as the mill capacity increases

• Also evaluating on‐site concentrate treatment options

– Hypochlorination | Fine grind and intense cyanidation | Bio‐oxidation

– Control timing and costs of metal production

– Reduce dependency on outside treatment facilities

– Reduce working capital requirements

• We are evaluating other options for processing the sulfide concentrate at Hycroft: – Hypochlorination, fine grind with intense cyanidation and bio‐oxidation – All of these processes have been proven in operations globally

• Hycroft ore is considered to be optimal for these processes given that: – Testing has indicated that it requires very little oxidation to achieve recovery at or above that of

transition material – Hycroft mineralization is not carbonaceous

Evaluating Concentrate Treatment Options

• Hypochlorite is a rapid and efficient oxidizing agent • Has been used as an oxidation method for generations • Hypochlorination got its start in the Carlin area and is still used at major gold

mines such as Goldstrike – Began in Nevada at the Jerritt Canyon operation

• Involves regrinding the concentrate to a very fine degree and leaching it with a high concentration of cyanide

• Would not include an oxidation step as it is meant to allow leaching solution access to more surface area of the ore

• BIOX is a oxidation processing method developed by Goldfields South Africa

• The BIOX process being considered is a process developed for the pre‐treatment of sulfidic refractory ores prior to conventional leaching for metal recovery

• The BIOX process is considered to be both economically viable and environmentally sound

• The BIOX process can be scaled easily and is a relatively simple operation • Established technology with 12 current or past producing plants worldwide

Evaluating Concentrate Treatment Options

Hasbrouck Project: PEA Highlights • Estimated initial capital cost of $78.1million

• Conventional 40,000 tpd ROM/crush heap leach mine • Smaller mining equipment from Hycroft will be refurbished for Hasbrouck • Process higher recovery Three Hills material first • Potential for a 6,000 tpd mill to take advantage of increased recovery and coarse gold as additional

high-grade is discovered • Inferred mineral resources of 1.2mm oz of contained Au and 29.3mm oz of

contained Ag (128.6mm tons grading 0.009 opt Au and 0.228 opt Ag) • Mine plan includes mining and processing nearby Three Hills indicated and inferred mineral

resources1 of 147,800 ounces of gold (MDA, 08/14/06 Technical Report) • Property located approximately 5 miles north of Hasbrouck • Three Hills heap leach gold recovery of 87.8% (material crushed to 3/8 inch)

• Historic and recent Allied Nevada metallurgical test work on Hasbrouck material indicates run‐of‐mine recoveries of 60% Au and 14% Ag at 80% passing 3/8 inch

• Rapid gold extraction rate, recovery achieved after 51 days of leaching • Current and historic test work on -200 mesh material indicates recoveries of approximately 90%

gold and greater than 50% silver
