(f) Set forth on Schedule I hereto are the citizenships of the Scheduled Persons.

3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

On January 14, 2013, Alamos commenced a tender offer to purchase all of the outstanding Common Shares other than those Common Shares owned by Alamos and its affiliates (the “Offer”) at a price per Common Share of $4.65 in cash or 0.2801 of a common share of Alamos (“Alamos Shares”), subject, in each case, to pro ration, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the offer to purchase and circular dated January 14, 2013 (the “Offer to Purchase”) and the related letter of transmittal (the “Letter of Transmittal”) and notice of guaranteed delivery (the “Notice of Guaranteed Delivery”). The Offer is conditioned upon, among other things, there being validly deposited under the Offer and not withdrawn at the expiry time of the Offer that number of Common Shares which, together with the Common Shares held by Alamos and its affiliates, represents not less than 66²/₃% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares (calculated on a fully diluted basis). The Offer is described in a Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO (as amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Schedule TO”) filed by Alamos with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on January 14, 2013. The Offer to Purchase, the Letter of Transmittal and the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery are filed as Exhibits (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii) and (a)(1)(iii) to the Schedule TO, respectively, and are incorporated by reference in this Schedule 13D.

During the 12-month period preceding the date of the Offer, Alamos and its directors and officers made the following purchases of Common Shares (collectively, the “Pre-Offer Purchases”), at the respective prices and on the respective dates set out in the following table. For purchases made through facilities of the Toronto Stock Exchange (the “TSX”) (i) all such purchases were affected in the normal course, (ii) any broker acting for Alamos in respect of such purchases performed only customary broker functions and received no more than the usual fees or commissions in regard to such purchases, (iii) Alamos and all persons or companies acting on behalf of Alamos did not solicit or arrange for the solicitation of offers to sell Common Shares, except for solicitations by Alamos or members of the soliciting dealer group pursuant to the Offer, and (iv) to the knowledge of Alamos, no seller of Common Shares (or any person or company acting for such seller) solicited or arranged for the solicitation of offers to buy Common Shares. For purchases made pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreements (as defined herein), the consideration offered under the Offer is at least equal to the consideration paid under the Share Purchase Agreements, on a per share basis, and is in the same form of consideration (Alamos Shares) or, to the extent elected

3

by holders of Common Shares (the “Shareholders”) or as a result of any proration, is at least the cash equivalent of such consideration.

On January 10, 2013, Alamos entered into a share purchase agreement (the “Montrusco Share Purchase Agreement”) with Montrusco Bolton Investments Inc. (“Montrusco”) on behalf of certain investment accounts over which Montrusco has authority whereby Alamos acquired from Montrusco ownership and control of 6,138,783 Common Shares in exchange for 1,719,465 Alamos Shares pursuant to the terms set forth below.

On January 11, 2013, Alamos entered into a share purchase agreement (the “Van Eck Share Purchase Agreement”) with Van Eck Associates Corporation (“Van Eck”) on behalf of certain investment accounts over which Van Eck has authority whereby Alamos acquired from Van Eck ownership and control of 5,009,100 Common Shares in exchange for 1,403,048 Alamos Shares pursuant to the terms set forth below.

On January 13, 2013, Alamos entered into a share purchase agreement (the “Dynamic Share Purchase Agreement”) with Dynamic Precious Metals Fund and Dynamic Strategic Gold Class (together, “Dynamic”) on behalf of certain investment accounts over which Dynamic has authority whereby Alamos acquired from Dynamic ownership and control of 5,359,400 Common Shares in exchange for 1,501,167 Alamos Shares pursuant to the terms set forth below.

On January 13, 2013, Alamos entered into a share purchase agreement (the “USAA Share Purchase Agreement” and, collectively with the Montrusco Share Purchase Agreement, the Van Eck Share Purchase Agreement and the Dynamic Share Purchase Agreement, the “Share Purchase Agreements”) with Precious Metals and Minerals Fund, a Series of USAA Mutual Funds Trust (“USAA” and, collectively with Montrusco, Van Eck and Dynamic, the “Vendors”) on behalf of certain investment accounts over which USAA has authority whereby Alamos acquired from USAA ownership and control of 7,000,000 Common Shares in exchange for 1,960,700 Alamos Shares pursuant to the terms set forth below.

The purchase price (the “Purchase Price”) payable by Alamos to each Vendor for the Common Shares purchased pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreements is $4.65 per Common Share. The Purchase Price was satisfied by the delivery of Alamos Shares (the “Consideration Shares”), at an exchange ratio of 0.2801 of a Consideration Share for each Common Share.

4

Pursuant to each Vendor’s Share Purchase Agreement, Alamos agreed that, if at any time in the 12-month period following the date of the Share Purchase Agreement any person or persons acting jointly or in concert acquires all or substantially all of the assets of Aurizon and its subsidiaries or acquires all of the Common Shares (a “Price Protection Transaction”), it would pay to each Vendor the Adjustment Payment (as defined herein).

The “Adjustment Payment” will be equal to:

(i) if Alamos or any of its affiliates or any person acting jointly or in concert with Alamos completes a Price Protection Transaction, an additional amount on account of each Common Share purchased pursuant to the applicable Share Purchase Agreement equal to the amount by which the consideration received by the Shareholders pursuant to the Price Protection Transaction (the “Transaction Consideration”) exceeds the greater of $4.65 per Common Share and 0.2801 Consideration Share; and

(ii) if any other person or entity completes a Price Protection Transaction, an additional amount on account of each Common Share purchased pursuant to the applicable Share Purchase Agreement that is equal to 85% (or 100% with respect to the USAA Share Purchase Agreement) of the difference between the amount by which the Transaction Consideration exceeds the greater of $4.65 per Common Share and 0.2801 Consideration Share.

Each of Dynamic and Montrusco agreed that, for a period of 12 months following the date of its Share Purchase Agreement, it would not, without the prior written consent of Alamos, which consent may be given on such terms and conditions as Alamos may determine: (i) in any manner acquire, agree to acquire or make any proposal or offer to acquire, directly or indirectly, any unissued or outstanding securities of Aurizon or propose or offer to enter into, directly or indirectly, any amalgamation, plan of arrangement, merger or business combination involving Aurizon and its affiliates or to purchase, directly or indirectly, all or substantially all of the assets of Aurizon and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole; (ii) directly or indirectly “solicit” or participate or join with any person in the “solicitation” of any “proxies” (as such terms are defined in the Securities Act (Ontario)) to vote, or seek to influence any person with respect to the voting of, any voting securities of Aurizon; (iii) otherwise act alone or jointly or in concert with others to seek to control or to influence the management, the board of directors or policies of Aurizon; (iv) solicit, facilitate or encourage any transaction to acquire assets of Aurizon and/or one or more of its subsidiaries representing 20% or more of the consolidated assets or contributing 20% or more of the consolidated revenue of Aurizon and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or acquire 20% or more of the Common Shares (an “Acquisition Transaction”) other than a transaction by Alamos or any of its affiliates or any person acting jointly or in concert with Alamos; (v) enter into, continue or participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding an Acquisition Transaction, or furnish to any other person any information with respect to the business of Aurizon or its properties, operations, prospects or conditions (financial or otherwise) in connection with an Acquisition Transaction or otherwise cooperate in any way with, or assist or participate in, facilitate or encourage, any effort or attempt of any other person (other than Alamos or any of its affiliates or any person acting jointly or in concert with Alamos) to do or seek to do any of the foregoing; or (vi) advise, assist, encourage or act jointly or in concert with any other person in connection with any of the foregoing, other than Alamos or any of its affiliates or any person acting jointly or in concert with Alamos.

In connection with each Vendor’s Consideration Shares, Alamos agreed (i) to prepare and file within 15 days of the closing of each Share Purchase Agreement in one or more Canadian jurisdictions a preliminary prospectus and such other related documents as may be reasonably necessary to be filed in connection with such preliminary prospectus; (ii) as soon as possible after any comments of the applicable securities commissions have been satisfied with respect thereto, to prepare and file a final prospectus; (iii) to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause a receipt to be issued for such final prospectus as soon as possible; and (iv) to take all other steps and proceedings that may be reasonably necessary in order to permit the qualification of the Consideration Shares for distribution by registrants who comply with the relevant provisions of applicable Canadian securities laws.

Alamos’ obligation to purchase the Common Shares deposited under the Offer is not subject to any financing condition. All such funds are available and will be paid from Alamos’ cash on hand.

4. Purpose of Transaction.

The purpose of the Offer and the Pre-Offer Purchases is to enable Alamos to acquire, on the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer, all of the issued and outstanding Common Shares (other than Common Shares held directly or indirectly by Alamos and its affiliates and which includes Common Shares which may become outstanding on the exercise, exchange or conversion of certain convertible securities of Aurizon). The effect of the Offer is to give Shareholders the opportunity to receive, at the election of each Shareholder, $4.65 in cash or 0.2801

5

of an Alamos Share, in each case, subject to pro-ration as set out in the Offer to Purchase, for each Common Share tendered to the Offer, representing a premium of approximately 40% over the closing price of $3.33 per Common Share and $16.60 per Alamos Share on the TSX on January 9, 2013.

If the conditions of the Offer are satisfied or waived and Alamos takes up and pays for the Common Shares validly deposited under the Offer and not properly withdrawn, Alamos intends to acquire any Common Shares not deposited under the Offer through a compulsory acquisition, if available, or to propose a subsequent acquisition transaction, in each case for consideration per Common Share at least equal in value to and in the same form as the consideration paid by Alamos per Common Share under the Offer. The exact timing and details of any such transaction will depend upon a number of factors, including the number of Common Shares acquired pursuant to the Offer. Although Alamos intends to propose either a compulsory acquisition or a subsequent acquisition transaction generally on the terms described in the Offer to Purchase, it is possible that, as a result of delays in Alamos’ ability to effect such a transaction, information subsequently obtained by Alamos, changes in general economic or market conditions or in the business of Aurizon or other currently unforeseen circumstances, such a transaction may not be proposed, may be delayed or abandoned or may be proposed on different terms. Accordingly, Alamos reserves the right not to propose a compulsory acquisition or a subsequent acquisition transaction, or to propose a subsequent acquisition transaction on terms other than those provided for under the Offer.

If the Offer is successful, it is anticipated that the current management of Alamos will manage Aurizon in place of Aurizon’s current management, and that the board of directors of Aurizon will be replaced by nominees of Alamos. With the exception of the foregoing, Alamos has not developed any specific proposals with respect to Aurizon or its operations, or any changes in its assets, business strategies, management or personnel following the acquisition of the Common Shares pursuant to the Offer. Alamos believes there is strong cultural and professional compatibility between Aurizon’s and Alamos’ respective employees and it is Alamos’ intention to integrate both teams following its acquisition of Aurizon.

If permitted by applicable law, subsequent to the completion of the Offer and a compulsory acquisition or any subsequent acquisition transaction, if necessary, Alamos intends to delist the Common Shares from the TSX and the NYSE MKT and to cause Aurizon to cease to be a reporting issuer under the securities laws of each of the provinces and territories of Canada in which it has such status and cease to be registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

These plans are based on information currently available to Alamos. Alamos has so far had an opportunity to review only publicly available information about Aurizon filed with Canadian securities regulatory authorities and the SEC. As a result, the foregoing plans for Alamos’ business are of a general nature and may change if more information becomes available.

In connection with the Offer, Alamos expects to engage in communications with one or more officers, members of the board of directors, representatives, Shareholders and other relevant parties concerning the business, management, operations, assets, capitalization, financial condition, governance, strategy and future plans of Aurizon that may result in Alamos proposing one or more ideas that, if effectuated, may result in any of the actions described in subsections (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D. Depending on such communications, and subject to the conditions below, Alamos may make additional purchases or may sell or transfer Common Shares beneficially owned by them from time to time in public transactions. Any such transactions may be effected at any time or from time to time subject to any applicable limitations imposed on the sale of Common Shares by applicable law.

See Item 3 and Item 5.

5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

(a)-(b)	As of the date hereof, Alamos may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of 26,507,283 Common Shares, which represent approximately 16.1% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares.
(c)	Except as described in Item 3, Alamos has not effected any other transactions in Common Shares during the past 60 days. To the knowledge of Alamos, none of the Schedule Persons has effected any transactions in Common Shares during the past 60 days.
(d)	Except as otherwise set forth herein, no person is known to Alamos to have the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or proceeds from the sale of, any Common Shares beneficially owned by Alamos.
