Corporate Presentation - April 2015

1. TSX P I NYSE PPP I
CORPORATE UPDATE • APRIL 2015

2. TSX P I NYSE PPP I
This presentation may contain “forward-looking” statements within the meaning of Canadian securities legislation and the
United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements relate to future events or the
anticipated performance of the Company and reflect management’s expectations or beliefs regarding such future events and
anticipated performance. In certain cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as “plans”,
“expects”, “is expected”, “budget”, “scheduled”, ”estimates”, ”forecasts”, ”intends”, ”anticipates” or “believes”, or variations of
such words and phrases or statements that certain actions, events or results “may”, ”could”, “would”, ”might”, or “will be
taken”, “occur” or “be achieved”, or the negative of these words or comparable terminology. By their very nature forward-
looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual performance
of the Company to be materially different from any anticipated performance expressed or implied by the forward-looking
statements. Such factors include various risks related to the Company’s operations, including, without limitation, fluctuations in
spot and forward markets for gold, silver and other metals, fluctuations in currency markets, changes in national and local
governments in Mexico and the speculative nature of mineral exploration and development, risks associated with obtaining
necessary exploitation and environmental licenses and permits, and the presence of laws that may impose restrictions on
mining. A complete list of risk factors are described in the Company’s annual information form and will be detailed from time to
time in the Company’s continuous disclosure, all of which are, or will be available, for review on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
This presentation uses the terms “measured resources”, “indicated resources” and “inferred resources”. The Company advises
readers that although these terms are recognized and required by Canadian regulations (under National Instrument 43-101
Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”), the United States Securities and Exchange Commission does not
recognize them. Readers are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of the mineral deposits in these categories will ever be
converted in to reserves. In addition, “inferred resources” have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence, and
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 rules, estimates of inferred mineral resources may not form the basis of feasibility or pre-
feasibility studies, or economic studies, except for a Preliminary Assessment as defined under NI43-101. Investors are cautioned
not to assume that part or all of an inferred resource exists, or is economically or legally mineable.
Although the Company has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual performance to differ materially
from that described in forward-looking statements, there may be other factors that cause its performance not to be as
anticipated. The Company neither intends nor assumes any obligation to update these forward-looking statements or
information to reflect changes in assumptions or circumstances other than required by applicable law. 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 currently anticipated. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.
Unless otherwise indicated, all dollar values herein are in US$.

This presentation has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of Canadian provincial securities laws which differ from the requirements of
U.S. securities laws. Unless otherwise indicated, all mineral reserve and resource estimates included in this presentation have been prepared in
accordance with Canadian National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”) and the Canadian Institute of Mining,
Metallurgy and Petroleum classification systems. NI 43-101 is a rule developed by the Canadian Securities Administrators that establishes standards for
all public disclosure an issuer makes of scientific and technical information concerning mineral projects. These standards differ significantly from the
requirements of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), and reserve and resource estimates disclosed in this presentation
may not be comparable to similar information disclosed by U.S. companies.
The mineral reserve estimates in this presentation have been calculated in accordance with NI 43-101, as required by Canadian securities regulatory
authorities. For United States reporting purposes, SEC Industry Guide 7 under the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as
interpreted by Staff of the SEC, applies different standards in order to classify mineralization as a reserve. As a result, the definition of “probable
reserves” used in NI 43-101 differs from the definition in the SEC Industry Guide 7. Under SEC standards, mineralization may not be classified as a
“reserve” unless the determination has been made that the mineralization could be economically and legally produced or extracted at the time the
reserve determination is made. Among other things, all necessary permits would be required to be in hand or issuance imminent in order to classify
mineralized material as reserves under the SEC standards. Accordingly, mineral reserve estimates contained in this presentation may not qualify as
“reserves” under SEC standards.
In addition, this presentation uses the terms “indicated resources” and “inferred resources” to comply with the reporting standards in Canada. The
Company advises United States investors that while those terms are recognized and required by Canadian regulations, the SEC does not recognize them.
United States investors are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of the mineral deposits in these categories will ever be converted into mineral
reserves. Further, “inferred resources” have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence and as to whether they can be mined legally or
economically. Therefore, United States investors are also cautioned not to assume that all or any part of the “inferred resources” exist. In accordance
with Canadian securities laws, estimates of “inferred resources” cannot form the basis of feasibility or other economic studies. It cannot be assumed
that all or any part of “indicated resources” or “inferred resources” will ever be upgraded to a higher category or are economically or legally mineable. In
addition, disclosure of “contained ounces” is permitted disclosure under Canadian securities laws; however, the SEC only permits issuers to report
mineralization as in place tonnage and grade without reference to unit measures.
NI 43-101 also permits the inclusion of disclosure regarding the potential quantity and grade, expressed as ranges, of a target for further exploration
provided that the disclosure (i) states with equal prominence that the potential quantity and grade is conceptual in nature, that there has been
insufficient exploration to define a mineral resource and that it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the target being delineated as a mineral
resources, and (ii) states the basis on which the disclosed potential quantity and grade has been determined. Disclosure regarding exploration potential
has been included in this presentation. United States investors are cautioned that disclosure of such exploration potential is conceptual in nature by
definition and there is no assurance that exploration will result in any category of NI 43-101 mineral resources being identified.

1. “Gold equivalent ounces” include silver ounces produced at San Dimas, and converted to a gold equivalent based on a ratio of the average
commodity prices realized for each period. Silver production is subject to a silver purchase agreement. The silver purchase agreement dictates that
until August 6, 2014 Primero will deliver to Silver Wheaton a per annum amount equal to the first 3.5 million ounces of silver produced at San Dimas
and 50% of any excess at $4.16 per ounce (increasing by 1% per year). Thereafter Primero will deliver to Silver Wheaton a per annum amount equal
to the first 6.0 million ounces of silver produced at San Dimas and 50% of any excess at $4.20 per ounce (increasing by 1% per year). The Company
will receive silver spot prices only after the annual threshold amount has been delivered. Black Fox is subject to a gold purchase agreement under
which Sandstorm is entitled to 8% of production at the Black Fox mine and 6.3% at the Black Fox Extension.
2. Cash costs and All-in Sustaining Costs are non-GAAP measures. Refer to the Company’s 2014 MD&A for a reconciliation to operating expenses.
Note the calculation of all-in sustaining costs at San Dimas changed with the acquisition of a second producing asset and subsequently do not
include corporate G&A.
3. Major assumptions include a flat gold price per ounce of $1,200, a flat silver price per ounce of $18.
4. Assumes San Dimas operates at least at 3,000 TPD from end of Q2 2016; and Primero management estimates for Black Fox production, based on
2,200-2,300 TPD operation and underground throughput increasing to 1,000 TPD by the end of 2015.
5. Based on 2015 Guidance.
6. $48.1 million senior unsecured convertible debenture (acquired from Brigus, with a 6.5% coupon an effective conversion price of US$14.00 and an
expiry of March 2016); US$75 million convertible, unsecured, subordinated debentures; and $40 million draw down from line of credit. Excludes
capital leases.
7. The Company closed a $75 million line of credit on May 23, 2014 and has drawn down $40 million as of December 31, 2014.
8. During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company issued 41,340,347 common shares as consideration for the acquisition of Brigus, 1,921,744
common shares upon the exercise of stock options; and 2,481,482 common shares pursuant to two flow through agreements.
9. Fully diluted shares include 20.8 million warrants with an exercise price of C$8.00 per share, expiring on July 20, 2015; and 9.3 million options with
an average exercise price of C$6.17.
10. The Company currently estimates that expanding the San Dimas mill to 3,000 TPD will require approximately $26.4 million of capital investment,
with approximately $6 million expenditure expected in 2014 and the remainder spread over the following eighteen months. As a result of the
preliminary nature of the capital assessment a contingency factor of 30% has been included in the capital estimate.
11. Adjusted net income/earnings and adjusted net income/earnings per share are non-GAAP measures. Neither of these non-GAAP performance
measures has any standardized meaning and is therefore unlikely to be comparable to other measures presented by other issuers. The Company
believes that, in addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, the Company and certain investors use this information to
evaluate the Company’s performance. Accordingly, it is intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a
substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Refer to the Company’s 2014 MD&A for a reconciliation of adjusted net
income/earnings to reported net income.
12. “Operating cash flow” is operating cash flow before working capital changes. This and operating cash flows before working capital changes per
share (CFPS) are non-GAAP measures which the Company believes provides a better indicator of the Company’s ability to generate cash flow from
its mining operations. See the Company’s 2014 MD&A for a reconciliation of operating cash flows to GAAP.
13. Based on 365 days per year.
