2. FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain information included in this presentation constitutes forward-looking statements, including any information as to our projects, plans and future
financial and operating performance. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, are forward-looking statements. The words “expect”,
“believe”, “anticipate”, “will”, “intend”, “estimate”, “forecast”, “budget”, “schedule” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. Forward-
looking statements are necessarily based upon a number of factors and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by management, are
inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies. Known and unknown factors could cause actual
results to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements.
Such factors include, but are not limited to: changes to current estimates of mineral reserves and resources; fluctuations in the price of gold; changes
in foreign exchange rates (particularly the Canadian dollar, Mexican peso and U.S. dollar); the impact of inflation; changes in our credit rating; any
decision to declare a quarterly dividend; employee relations; litigation; disruptions affecting operations; availability of and increased costs associated
with mining inputs and labor; development delays at the Young-Davidson mine; operating or technical difficulties in connection with mining or
development activities; inherent risks associated with mining and mineral processing; the risk that the Young-Davidson and El Chanate mines may not
perform as planned; uncertainty with the Company’s ability to secure capital to execute its business plans; the speculative nature of mineral exploration
and development, including the risks of obtaining necessary licenses and permits; contests over title to properties; changes in national and local
government legislation in Canada, Mexico and other jurisdictions in which the Company does or may carry on business in the future; risk of loss due to
sabotage and civil disturbances; the impact of global liquidity and credit availability and the values of assets and liabilities based on projected future
cash flows; risks arising from holding derivative instruments; business opportunities that may be pursued by the Company. Many of these uncertainties
and contingencies can affect our actual results and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in any forward-
looking statements made by, or on behalf of, us. Readers are cautioned that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance. All
of the forward-looking statements made in this presentation are qualified by these cautionary statements. Specific reference is made to the most recent
Form 40-F/Annual Information Form on file with the SEC and Canadian provincial securities regulatory authorities for a discussion of some of the
factors underlying forward-looking statements.
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. 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.

expected performance in the future. This non-GAAP measure does not have any standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP, and
should not be considered in isolation from or as a substitute for performance measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. For more

27. Notes to Reserves and Resources
Notes to Reserves and Resources:
• Mineral Reserves and Resources have been stated as at December 31, 2011.
• AuRico acquired Capital Gold Corporation, including the El Chanate and Orion properties, in April 2011. AuRico acquired Northgate Minerals Corporation, including the Young-Davidson,
Fosterville, Stawell and Kemess properties, in October 2011.
• 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.
• Following the joint venture agreement completed early 2013, where Minera Frisco acquired a 50% interest in the Orion project.
• Reserves have been calculated 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
Resources 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 Gold’s Mineral Resources
constitute or will be converted into Reserves.
