Safe Harbor Statement & Cautionary Note to U.S. Investors Concerning Resource Estimates
This presentation contains forward-looking statements that include risks and uncertainties. When used in this presentation, the words“estimate”, “projects”, “anticipate”, “expects”, “intend”, “believe”, “hope”, “may”, and similar expressions, as well as “will”, “shall”, and otherindications of future tense, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. The forward looking statements are based on current expectationsand apply only as of the date on which they were made. Except as required by law or regulation, Richmont undertakes no obligation and disclaimsany responsibility to publicly update or revise any forward looking statements of information, whether as a result of new information, future eventsor otherwise. The factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated in such forward-looking statements includechanges in the prevailing price of gold, the Canadian-U.S. exchange rate, grade of ore mined and unforeseen difficulties in mining operations thatcould affect revenue and production costs. Other factors such as uncertainties regarding government regulations could also affect the results.Other risks may be detailed from time to time in Richmont Mines Inc.’s Annual Information Form.
The resource estimates in this presentation were prepared in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure of MineralProjects (“NI 43-101”) adopted by the Canadian Securities Administrators. The requirements of NI 43-101 differ significantly from the requirementsof the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). In this presentation, we use the terms “Measured”, “Indicated” and“Inferred” Resources. Although these terms are recognized and required to be used in Canada, the SEC does not recognize them. TheSEC permits U.S. mining corporations, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose only those mineral deposits that constitute “Reserves”. UnderUnited States standards, mineralization may not be classified as a Reserve unless the determination has been made that the mineralization couldbe economically and legally extracted at the time the determination is made. United States investors should not assume that all or anyportion of a Measured or Indicated Resource will ever be converted into “Reserves”. Furthermore, “Inferred Resources” have a great amount ofuncertainty as to their existence and whether they can be mined economically or legally, and United States investors should not assume that“Inferred Resources” exist or can be legally or economically mined, or that they will ever be upgraded to a more certain category.
For additional information regarding the Mineral Reserves and Resources referred to in this presentation, please refer to the technical reportentitled “Amended Technical Report on the Mineral Reserve and Mineral Resource Estimates as of Dec. 31, 2015 for the Island Gold Mine” datedApril 5, 2016 and effective as of Dec. 15, 2016.
U.S. Investors are urged to consider the disclosure in our annual report on Form 20-F, File No. 001-14598, which may be obtained from us or fromthe SEC’s web site: http://sec.gov/edgar.shtml.

ISLAND GOLD: GROWTH OPPORTUNITIES
• Expanded resource area east-west of main reserve area (most contiguous portion)
• Mining from a depth of 450 to 1,000 metres over 4 mining horizons
• Base Case of 900 tpd increasing to Expansion Case 1,100 tpd utilizing existing ramp system
• Incorporation of December 31, 2016 Reserve and Resource estimates, that will consider
• Positive reconciliation of 32% achieved YTD (25% on grade and 6% on tonnes)
• Encouraging near-mine delineation and exploration drill results
• New Life of Mine (LoM) and operating costs and capital estimates
• Minimal capital requirements for mine and mill expansion; fully funded internally
• Maximize mining capacity without new infrastructure
• Increased milling capacity to 1,200 tpd would allow future growth at minimal cost (~C$15M)
Potential for a further upside scenario of up to 1,200 tonnes per day as additional resources are included in the mine plan.

Lower production due to low underground mobile equipment availability
6,000 tonnes of broken ore at 7.0 g/t available for processing in Q4
Prioritized waste development efforts to support stope mining in the higher-grade Q Zone
Cash costs & AISC expected to decrease as stope mining increases in the Q Zone
BEAUFOR MINE: OPERATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS
