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. Reserves and resources for Young-Davidson and El Chanate mines, Kemess Underground Project, and Orion represent gold grade as per technical reports and

Company disclosure. For more information regarding AuRico Gold’s Mineral Reserves and Resources as at December 31, 2012 and the Kemess Feasibility

Study, please refer to the press release dated March 25, 2013 titled AuRico Reports 2012 Reserve & Resource Update and Kemess Feasibility Study Results,

available on the Company website at www.auricogold.com. Measured and indicated resources excludes inferred resources.

3. 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, as well as all ounces produced from the underground mine.

4. All-in sustaining costs are defined as cash costs, sustaining capital, corporate general and administrative expense, reclamation, care and maintenance expense,

and exploration expenditures. Prior to commissioning the underground mine at Young-Davidson, all-in cash costs are calculated on ounces produced from the

open pit only. All underground costs are capitalized, and any revenue related to underground ounces sold is credited against capital expenditures.

Notes to Reserves and Resources

Notes:

• Mineral Reserves and Resources have been stated as at December 31, 2012.

• Mineral Resources are in addition to Mineral Reserves. Mineral Resources that are not Mineral Reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability when calculated using Mineral

Reserve assumptions. Reserves have been reported in accordance with NI 43-101, as required by Canadian securities regulatory authorities. In addition, while the terms “Measured”,

“Indicated and “Inferred” Mineral Resources are required pursuant to NI 43-101, the SEC does not recognize such terms. Canadian standards differ significantly from the requirements of

the SEC, and mineral resource information contained herein is not comparable to similar information regarding mineral reserves disclosed in accordance with the requirements of the SEC.

Investors should understand that “Inferred” Mineral Resources have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence and great uncertainty as to their economic and legal feasibility. In

addition, investors are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of AuRico’s Mineral Resources constitute or will be converted into Reserves.

• Following the completion of a joint venture agreement, Minera Frisco has a 50% interest in the Orion Project.

• Mineral resource tonnage and contained metal have been rounded to reflect the accuracy of the estimate, and numbers may not add due to rounding.

The following metal prices were used for the calculation of Reserves and Resources:

El Chanate $1,400 - - $1,600 - -

Young-Davidson $1,400 - - $1,600 - -
