This document provides an overview of Detour Gold Corporation and its Detour Lake gold mine in Ontario, Canada. Some key points:
- Detour Lake is Detour Gold's sole asset and is a large, long-life open pit gold mine with proven and probable reserves of 15.6 million ounces.
- The mine achieved commercial production in August 2013 and is ramping up, with production expected to be between 240,000-260,000 ounces in 2013.
- Detour Gold plans to increase throughput and production over time to fully utilize the 55,000 tonnes per day processing plant and achieve an average annual production of over 600,000 ounces per year over the mine life.
2. Forward Looking Information
This presentation contains certain forward-looking information as defined in applicable securities laws (referred to herein as âforward-looking
statementsâ). Specifically, this presentation contains forward-looking statements regarding gold production and cash costs guidance for
2013 and 2014, reserve and resource estimates, ore grade, expected mine life, average annual gold production, gold recovery, cash
operating costs and other costs, sensitivities, ramp-up of operations, mining rates reaching approximately 250,000 tpd by year-end 2013,
mining of Domain #2 representing approximately 20% of the total feed for the fourth quarter, future operating plans, providing 2014
guidance in January 2014 and reporting an updated mine plan for Detour Lake in the first quarter of 2014, potential expansion opportunities,
and plans for organic growth which includes growing mineral reserves to more than 20 million ounces. Forward-looking statements involve
known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which are beyond Detour Goldâs ability to predict or control and may cause
Detour Goldâs actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any of its future results, performance or
achievements expressed or implied by forward-looking statements. These risks, uncertainties and other factors include, but are not limited
to, gold price volatility, changes in debt and equity markets, the uncertainties involved in interpreting geological data, increases in costs,
environmental compliance and changes in environmental legislation and regulation, interest rate and exchange rate fluctuations, general
economic conditions and other risks involved in the gold exploration and development industry, as well as those risk factors discussed in the
section entitled âDescription of Business - Risk Factorsâ in Detour Goldâs 2012 AIF and in the continuous disclosure documents filed by
Detour Gold on and available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. Such forward-looking statements are also based on a number of assumptions
which may prove to be incorrect, including, but not limited to, assumptions about the following: the availability of financing for exploration
and development activities; operating and capital costs; the Companyâs ability to attract and retain skilled staff; the mine development
schedule; sensitivity to metal prices and other sensitivities; the supply and demand for, and the level and volatility of the price of, gold;
timing of the receipt of regulatory and governmental approvals for development projects and other operations; the supply and availability of
consumables and services; the exchange rates of the Canadian dollar to the U.S. dollar; energy and fuel costs; the accuracy of reserve and
resource estimates and the assumptions on which the reserve and resource estimates are based; market competition; ongoing relations
with employees and impacted communities and general business and economic conditions. Accordingly, readers should not place undue
reliance on forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements contained herein are made as of the date hereof, or such other
date or dates specified in such statements. Detour Gold undertakes no obligation to update publicly or otherwise revise any forward-looking
statements contained herein whether as a result of new information or future events or otherwise, except as may be required by law. If the
Company does update one or more forward-looking statements, no inference should be drawn that it will make additional updates with
respect to those or other forward-looking statements.

3. Notes to Investors
Information Containing Estimates of Mineral Reserves and Resources
The mineral reserve and resource estimates reported in this presentation were prepared in accordance with Canadian National Instrument
43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (âNI 43-101â), as required by Canadian securities regulatory authorities. For United
States reporting purposes, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (âSECâ) applies different standards in order to classify
mineralization as a reserve. In particular, while the terms âmeasured,â âindicatedâ and âinferredâ 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. Investors are
cautioned not to assume that any part or all of the mineral deposits in these categories constitute or will ever be converted into reserves. In
addition, âinferredâ mineral resources have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence and great uncertainty as to their economic
and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource will ever be upgraded to a higher category.
Under Canadian securities laws, issuers must not make any disclosure of results of an economic analysis that includes inferred mineral
resources, except in rare cases.
On September 4, 2012, Detour Gold announced an updated mine production plan for the Detour Lake project. The NI 43-101 compliant
Technical Report for this update was filed on SEDAR on October 18, 2012. The following QPs participated in this update: BBA Inc., under
the direction of AndrÊ Allaire, Eng., Vice-President, Markets â Mining and Metals and Patrice Live, Eng., Mining Manager; SGS Canada
Inc., under the direction of Michel Dagbert, Eng., Senior Geostatistician and Maxime DupÊrÊ, P.Geo., Senior Geologist; and AMEC
Environment & Infrastructure, a Division of AMEC Americas Limited, David G. Ritchie M.Eng., P.Eng, Senior Associate Geotechnical
Engineer.
The scientific and technical content of this presentation has been reviewed, verified and approved by Drew Anwyll, P.Eng., Director of
Operations, a Qualified Person as defined by Canadian Securities Administrators National Instrument 43-101 âStandards of Disclosure for
Mineral Projectsâ.

41. Non-IFRS Financial Performance Measures
Total cash costs per gold ounce sold
Total cash costs per gold ounce is a common financial performance measure in the gold mining industry but with
no standard meaning under IFRS. Detour Gold reports total cash costs on a sales basis. The Company believes
that, in addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with IFRS, such as sales, certain investors use
this information to evaluate the Companyâs performance and ability to generate operating earnings and cash flow
from its mining operations. Management utilizes this metric as an important tool to monitor cost performance.
Total cash costs per gold ounce include production costs such as mining, processing, refining and site
administration, less non-cash share-based compensation and net of silver sales divided by gold ounces sold to
arrive at total cash costs per gold ounce sold. Production costs are exclusive of depreciation and depletion.
Production costs include the costs associated with providing the royalty in kind ounces. Other companies may
calculate this measure differently.

Gold ounces sold exclude pre-commercial production ounces (prior to September 1, 2013) as these are credited
against capitalized project costs.

42. Non-IFRS Financial Performance Measures
Average Realized Price and Average Realized Margin
Average realized price and average realized margin per ounce sold are financial measures with no standard
meaning under IFRS. Management and investors use these measures to better understand the gold price and
margin realized throughout a period. Average realized margin represents average realized price per gold ounce
less total cash costs per ounce.
Average realized price and average realized margin is intended to provide additional information to investors and
does not have any standardized definition under IFRS and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute
for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. Other companies may calculate this measure
differently.
