Management Information Circular iv

MEETING AND VOTING INFORMATION

This Management Information Circular (the “Circular”) is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the management of Alamos Gold Inc. (the “Company” or “Alamos”) for use at the annual meeting of the shareholders of the Company (the “Meeting”) (and at any adjournment thereof) to be held at TMX Broadcast Centre, 130 King Street West, Toronto, Ontario, on Monday, May 7, 2018, at 4:00 p.m., Toronto time.

The information set out in this Circular is given as at March 23, 2018, unless otherwise indicated. All dollar amounts referenced in this Circular are in United States Dollars, unless otherwise specified. The exchange rate as at December 31, 2017 was CAD$1.00 = USD$0.7971.

How we will solicit proxies

The Company will bear the expense of this solicitation. It is expected the solicitation will be made primarily by mail, but regular employees or representatives of the Company (none of whom shall receive any extra compensation for these activities) may also solicit by telephone, facsimile and in person and arrange for intermediaries to send this Circular and the form of proxy to their principals at the expense of the Company.

The contents and the sending of this Circular have been approved by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”).

Record Date for Voting at the Meeting

The Board has set the close of business on March 23, 2018 as the record date (the “Record Date”) for determining which shareholders shall be entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the Meeting. Only shareholders of record as of the Record Date shall be entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the Meeting, unless after the Record Date a shareholder transfers his or her common shares of the Company (the “Common Shares”) and the transferee (the “Transferee”), upon establishing that the Transferee owns such Common Shares, requests in writing, at least 10 days prior to the Meeting or any adjournments thereof, that the Transferee may have his or her name included on the list of shareholders entitled to vote at the Meeting, in which case the Transferee is entitled to vote such shares at the Meeting. Such written request by the Transferee shall be sent to the Company’s Vice President, General Counsel at the following address: Brookfield Place, 181 Bay Street, Suite 3910, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M5J 2T3.

Notice and Access

This year the Company is using the “notice-and-access” system for the delivery of the Circular and 2017 annual report to both beneficial and registered shareholders, which includes the Company’s management’s discussion and analysis and annual audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017 (collectively, the “Meeting Materials”).

Under notice-and-access, you will still receive a proxy or voting instruction form enabling you to vote at the Meeting. However, instead of a paper copy of the Circular, you receive this notice which contains information about how to access the Meeting Materials electronically. One benefit of the notice-and-access system is that it reduces the environmental impact of producing and distributing paper copies of documents in large quantities.

The Circular and form of proxy (or voting instruction form, as applicable) provide additional information concerning the matters to be dealt with at the Meeting. You should access and review all information contained in the Circular before voting.

Our Meeting Materials can be viewed online on our website at www.alamosgold.com, under our profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com, or at http://www.envisionreports.com/ALAMOSGOLD2018.

Appointment and Revocation of Proxies

The persons named in the accompanying form of proxy are designated as proxyholders by management of the Company. A SHAREHOLDER WISHING TO APPOINT SOME OTHER PERSON (WHO NEED NOT BE A SHAREHOLDER) TO REPRESENT HIM OR HER AT THE MEETING MAY DO SO either by inserting such person’s name in the blank space provided in the accompanying form of proxy or by completing another proper form of proxy and, in either case, delivering the completed proxy to Computershare Investor Services Inc., 8^th Floor, 100 University Avenue, Toronto, Ontario, M5J 2Y1, not less than 48 hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays) prior to the time of the Meeting unless the Chair of the Meeting elects to exercise his discretion to

Management Information Circular 1

accept proxies received subsequently. Telephone voting can be completed at 1-866-732-vote (1-866-732-8683) and Internet voting can be completed at www.investorvote.com.

Any registered shareholder who has returned a proxy may revoke it at any time before it has been exercised. In addition to revocation in any other manner permitted by law, a proxy may be revoked by instrument in writing, including a proxy bearing a later date, executed by the registered shareholder or by an attorney authorized in writing or, if the registered shareholder is a corporation, under its corporate seal or by an officer or attorney thereof duly authorized.

The instrument revoking the proxy must be deposited at (i) the registered office of the Company, Brookfield Place, 181 Bay Street, Suite 3910, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M5J 2T3, at any time up to and including the last business day preceding the date of the Meeting or any adjournment thereof duly authorized; or (ii) provided at the Meeting to the Chair of the Meeting. Only registered shareholders have the right to revoke a proxy. Non-registered shareholders who wish to change their vote must, at least seven (7) days before the Meeting, arrange for their respective intermediaries to revoke the proxy on their behalf.

Provisions Relating to Voting of Proxies

The Common Shares represented by proxy will be voted or withheld from voting by the designated proxyholder in accordance with the instructions of the shareholder appointing him or her on any ballot that may be called for and, if the shareholder specifies a choice with respect to any matter to be acted upon, the Common Shares will be voted accordingly. If there are no instructions provided by the shareholder, those Common Shares will be voted in favour of all proposals set out in this Circular. The proxy gives the person named in it the discretion to vote as they see fit on any amendments or variations to matters identified in the Notice of Meeting, or any other matters which may properly come before the Meeting. At the time of printing of this Circular, the management of the Company knows of no other matters which may come before the Meeting other than those referred to in the notice of meeting.

Advice to Beneficial Shareholders of Common Shares

The information set forth in this section is of significant importance to many shareholders as a substantial number of shareholders do not hold Common Shares in their own names. Shareholders who do not hold their shares in their own name (“Beneficial Shareholders”) should note that only proxies deposited by shareholders whose names appear on the records of the Company as the registered holders of Common Shares can be recognized and acted upon at the Meeting. If Common Shares are listed in an account statement provided to a shareholder by a broker, then in almost all cases those Common Shares will not be registered in the shareholder’s name on the records of the Company. Such Common Shares will more likely be registered under the name of the shareholder’s broker or an agent of that broker. In Canada, the vast majority of such Common Shares are registered under the name of CDS & Co. (the registration name for The Canadian Depository for Securities Limited, which acts as nominee for many Canadian brokerage firms). Common Shares held by brokers or their agents or nominees can only be voted (for or against resolutions) upon the instructions of the Beneficial Shareholders. Therefore, Beneficial Shareholders should ensure that instructions respecting the voting of their Common Shares are communicated to the appropriate person well in advance of the Meeting.

Applicable regulatory policies require intermediaries/brokers to seek voting instructions from Beneficial Shareholders in advance of shareholders’ meetings. Every intermediary/broker has its own mailing procedures and provides its own return instructions to clients, which should be carefully followed by Beneficial Shareholders in order to ensure that their Common Shares are voted at the Meeting. The form of proxy supplied to a Beneficial Shareholder by its broker (or the agent of the broker) is similar to the form of proxy provided to registered shareholders by the Company. However, its purpose is limited to instructing the registered shareholder (the broker or agent of the broker) how to vote on behalf of the Beneficial Shareholder. The majority of brokers now delegate responsibility for obtaining instructions from clients to Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (“Broadridge”) in Canada. Broadridge typically applies a special sticker to proxy forms, mails those forms to the Beneficial Shareholders, and asks Beneficial Shareholders to return the proxy forms to Broadridge. Broadridge then tabulates the results of all instructions received and provides appropriate instructions respecting the voting of shares to be presented at the Meeting. A Beneficial Shareholder receiving a proxy with a Broadridge sticker on it cannot use that proxy to vote Common Shares directly at the Meeting. The proxy must be returned to Broadridge well in advance of the Meeting in order to have the Common Shares voted.

Although a Beneficial Shareholder may not be recognized directly at the Meeting for the purposes of voting Common Shares registered in the name of the Beneficial Shareholder broker (or agent of the broker), a Beneficial Shareholder may attend at the Meeting as proxyholder for the registered shareholder and vote the Common Shares in that capacity. Beneficial Shareholders who wish to attend at the Meeting and indirectly vote their Common Shares as proxyholder for the registered shareholder should enter their own names in the blank space on the instrument of proxy provided to them and return the same to their broker (or the broker’s agent) in accordance with the instructions provided by such broker (or agent), well in advance of the Meeting. Alternatively, a Beneficial Shareholder may

Management Information Circular 2

request in writing that their broker send to the Beneficial Shareholder a legal proxy which would enable the Beneficial Shareholder to attend at the Meeting and vote their Common Shares.

In addition, Canadian securities legislation permits the Company to forward the notice and voting instruction form directly to “Non-Objecting Beneficial Shareholders”. If the Company or its agent has sent these materials directly to you (instead of through a nominee), your name, address and information about your holding of securities have been obtained in accordance with applicable securities regulatory requirements from the nominee holding on your behalf. By choosing to send these materials to you directly, the Company (and not the nominee holding on your behalf) has assumed responsibility for (i) delivering materials to you; and (ii) executing your proper voting instructions.

Beneficial and Registered Shareholders

If you would like paper copies of the Meeting Materials, you should first determine whether you are (i) a beneficial holder of the Common Shares, as are most of our shareholders, or (ii) a registered shareholder.

• You are a beneficial shareholder (also known as a non-registered shareholder) if you beneficially own Common Shares that are held in the name of an intermediary such as a depository, bank, trust company, securities broker, trustee, clearing agency (such as CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc. or “CDS”) or another intermediary. For example, you are a non-registered shareholder if your Common Shares are held in a brokerage account of any type.

• You are a registered shareholder if you hold a paper share certificate and your name appears directly on your share certificate.

How to obtain paper copies of the Meeting Materials

Beneficial shareholders may request that paper copies of the Meeting Materials be mailed to them at no cost. Requests may be made up to one year from the date that the Circular was filed on SEDAR by going to www.proxyvote.com and entering the 16-digit control number located on your voting instruction form and following the instructions provided. Alternatively, you may submit a request by calling 1-877-907-7643. Requests should be received by April 26, 2018. (i.e., at least seven business days in advance of the date and time set out in your voting instruction form as a voting deadline) if you would like to receive the Meeting Materials in advance of the voting deadline and Meeting date.

If you hold a paper share certificate and your name appears directly on your share certificate, you are a registered shareholder and you may request that paper copies of the Meeting Materials be mailed to you at no cost by calling 1-866-962-0498. If you are a Non-Objecting Beneficial Owner you may also request that paper copies of the Meeting Materials be mailed to you at no cost by calling 1-866-962-0498. Requests should be received by April 26, 2018. (i.e., at least seven business days in advance of the date and time set out in your proxy form as a voting deadline). Requests by registered shareholders may be made up to one year from the date that the Circular was filed on SEDAR by calling the Vice President, General Counsel of the Company at 1-866-788-8801.

How many shareholders are needed to reach a quorum at the Meeting?

We need to have at least two people present at the meeting in person (or by proxy) representing not less than 25% of the total number of votes entitled to vote at the meeting. On March 23, 2018, 389,379,754 Common Shares were issued and outstanding, each share carrying the right to one vote. The Company is authorized to issue an unlimited number of Common Shares without par value. Only shareholders of record on the close of business on March 23, 2018 who either personally attend the Meeting or who complete and deliver a proxy in the manner and subject to the provisions set out under the headings “Record Date for Voting at the Meeting” and “Appointment and Revocation of Proxies” will be entitled to have his or her shares voted at the Meeting or any adjournment thereof.

Each of the nominated directors is eligible to serve as a director and has expressed his/her willingness to do so. Eight of the nominated directors have previously served as directors of the Company. In the spring of 2018, Patrick Downey indicated that he will not stand for re-election. The Board and its Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee have proposed that Elaine Ellingham stand for election at the Meeting.

Our Policy on Majority Voting

The Board believes that each of its members should carry the confidence and support of its shareholders. To this end, the Board has adopted a Majority Voting Policy. If, at any meeting for the election of directors, a director receives more “withheld” votes than “for” votes, the director must promptly tender his resignation to the Board, to take effect on acceptance by the Board. The Board will promptly accept the resignation unless the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee (“CGNC”) of the Board determines that there are extraordinary circumstances relating to the composition of the Board or the voting results that should delay the acceptance of the resignation or justify rejecting it. Within 90 days of the relevant shareholders' meeting, the Board will make a final decision and announce such decision, including any reasons for not accepting a resignation, by way of press release. If the Board accepts the resignation, it may appoint a new director to fill the vacancy. Any director who tenders his or her resignation will not participate in the deliberations of the CGNC or the Board regarding such matter. In the event any director fails to tender his or her resignation in accordance with this policy, the Board will not re-nominate such director.

Cease Trade Orders, Bankruptcies and Penalties and Sanctions

No proposed director of the Company is, as at the date of this Circular, or was within 10 years before the date of this Circular, a director, chief executive officer or chief financial officer of any company (including the Company), that: (i) was subject to a cease trade order, an order similar to a cease trade order or an order that denied the relevant company access to any exemption under securities legislation, for a period of more than 30 consecutive days, that was issued while the proposed director was acting in the capacity as director, chief executive officer or chief financial officer; or (ii) was subject to a cease trade order, an order similar to a cease trade order or an order that denied the relevant company access to any exemption under securities legislation, for a period of more than 30 consecutive days, that was issued after the proposed director ceased to be a director, chief executive officer or chief financial officer and which resulted from an event that occurred while that person was acting in the capacity as director, chief executive officer or chief financial officer.

Management Information Circular 10

Except as described below, no proposed director of the Company; (i) is, as at the date of this Circular, or has been within the 10 years before the date of this Circular, a director or executive officer of any company (including the Company) that, while that person was acting in that capacity, or within a year of that person ceasing to act in that capacity, became bankrupt, made a proposal under any legislation relating to bankruptcy or insolvency or was subject to or instituted any proceedings, arrangement or compromise with creditors or had a receiver, receiver manager or trustee appointed to hold its assets; or (ii) has, within the 10 years before the date of this Circular, become bankrupt, made a proposal under any legislation relating to bankruptcy or insolvency, or become subject to or instituted any proceedings, arrangement or compromise with creditors, or had a receiver, receiver manager or trustee appointed to hold the assets of the proposed director.

4.    Advisory Resolution on Approach to Executive Compensation – “Say on Pay”

The Company believes that its compensation objectives and approach to executive compensation align the interests of management with the long-term interests of shareholders and are appropriate. Details of the Company’s approach to executive compensation are disclosed in the “Report on Executive Compensation” set forth immediately below.

As part of our dialogue with shareholders about executive compensation, we are proposing a “say on pay” advisory resolution (the “Say on Pay Resolution”) for this year’s Meeting.

As the Say on Pay Resolution is an advisory vote, the results are not binding upon the Board. However, the Board, the Human Resources Committee (“HRC”) and CGNC of the Board will take the results of the vote into account when considering future compensation policies, procedures and decisions.

We most recently held an advisory vote on executive compensation at our May 11, 2017 annual meeting of shareholders. The Say on Pay Resolution was supported by a strong majority (98.33%) of the votes cast on the resolution.

Prior to voting on the Say on Pay Resolution, the Board urges shareholders to read the Report on Executive Compensation section of the Circular as it explains the objectives and principles used in designing an executive compensation program for Alamos’ Named Executive Officers (“NEOs”). Shareholders with questions about our executive compensation programs are encouraged to contact Christine Barwell, Vice President, Human Resources, by email at notice@alamosgold.com.

BE IT RESOLVED THAT:

On an advisory basis and not to diminish the role and responsibilities of the Board, that shareholders accept the approach to executive compensation disclosed in this Circular provided in advance of the Meeting.

The Board unanimously recommends that shareholders vote in favour of the Say on Pay Resolution. Unless instructed otherwise, the persons named in the accompanying proxy intend to vote “FOR” the Say on Pay Resolution.

Management Information Circular 11

REPORT ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

As at December 31, 2017, the end of the most recently completed financial year of the Company, the five NEOs of the Company were Mr. John A. McCluskey, President and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Jamie Porter, Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Peter MacPhail, Chief Operating Officer, Mr. Christopher Bostwick, Vice President, Technical Services, and Dr. Luis Chavez, Senior Vice President, Mexico.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

The Alamos executive compensation program is designed to achieve the following objectives:

• Attract, retain, and motivate executives of the highest quality;

• Align the interests of the CEO and the senior executives with the Company’s shareholders;

• Create incentives to achieve established corporate and individual performance objectives;

• Properly reflect the respective duties and responsibilities of the senior executives; and

•    Create incentives relating to risk management and regulatory compliance.

These objectives are embedded in the charter of the HRC, and reflect the Company’s pay-for-performance philosophy for compensation of its executives. Each of the elements of the Company’s compensation program (base salary, annual non-equity incentive and long-term incentives) is designed to achieve one or more of these objectives, both in the near and long-term.

Compensation for the NEOs, and the balance of the executive officers, consists of a base salary, discretionary annual non-equity incentive, and longer-term incentives in the form of stock options and performance share unit grants. The HRC reviews and recommends base salary levels to the Board, based on a number of factors, in order to enable the Company to attract, motivate and retain high quality executives who are critical to the Company’s long-term success. Annual incentive compensation is linked to achievement of annual individual and corporate objectives, thereby aligning interests of the executives with those of the Company’s shareholders. Long-term equity incentive compensation is intended to align the interests of executive officers with the longer-term interests of shareholders.

Overall, the Company’s compensation strategy is to target total compensation at the median of the Company’s defined peer group, which is reviewed annually, and awarded based on performance. The Company continues to place greater weighting on pay at risk, including short-term compensation (annual non-equity incentives) and long-term incentives. Where an NEO’s total compensation falls relative to that of the Company peer group, it is a reflection of their level of responsibility, performance, and ability to influence corporate results.

Base salaries and long-term incentives for the 2017 year were established in a meeting of the HRC held on February 21, 2017. The Company’s performance for the 2017 year was reviewed by the HRC on February 20, 2018. At that meeting, 2018 base salaries, 2017 annual non-equity incentives with respect to 2017 performance and 2018 long-term incentive grants were established.

Board Outreach - Summary of Meetings with Proxy Advisory Companies

The Board is committed to aligning executive pay with the performance of the Company and in doing so is committed to its outreach program with representatives and advisors to institutional investors. The Chair of the HRC, the Chair of the Board, and the Chair of the CGNC along with the Vice President, Human Resources and the Vice President, General Counsel, met with Glass Lewis (“GL”) and Institutional Shareholder Services (“ISS”) on October 31, 2017 and December 14, 2017 respectively. The purpose of these meetings was to provide an overview of the Alamos compensation philosophy, to give an update on the Company’s acquisition of Richmont Mines Inc., and to understand the priorities of GL/ISS as they review the Company’s performance for the 2017 proxy season. Key concerns were discussed and addressed at those meetings. Additionally, on March 9, 2018, the Chair of the HRC, Chief Financial Officer and Vice President of Human Resources, met with Fidelity Management and Research Company (“Fidelity”) to discuss the Company’s compensation practices and alignment with certain key metrics that Fidelity uses to assess corporate performance in evaluating executive compensation. Specifically, Fidelity encouraged the application of “per-share” and return metrics, many of which

Management Information Circular 13

already form part of the corporate metrics the HRC and Board use to evaluate the performance of Alamos management. The HRC intends to further review and evaluate the potential application of certain of these metrics to future executive compensation decisions at Alamos.

Glass Lewis

Prior to the 2017 Alamos Annual General Meeting, held on May 11, 2017, Glass Lewis recommended a “For” vote on all matters given the improvements over 2016 that the Company made to its executive compensation program. In its review, GL noted certain concerns. The table below outlines how these were addressed by Alamos:

Glass Lewis Comment	The Company’s Response
1.Variable Compensation a.    Single Metrics b.    Vesting below Median c.    Performance Period of Long-term Awards	Under the Short-term Incentive Plan (“STIP”), the Company measures performance against 11 performance metrics each of which falls under one of the following categories: 1) Growth and creating shareholder value, 2) Financial, or 3) Operational. The Company measures performance for the Long-term Incentive Plan (“LTIP”), and specifically PSUs, using relative Total Shareholder Return (“TSR”). There are four performance periods; •Period One - from the date of grant to the 1st year anniversary, •Period Two - from the 1st year anniversary to the 2nd year anniversary, •Period Three - from the 2nd year anniversary to the 3rd year anniversary, and •Period Four - from the date of grant to the 3rd year anniversary. These performance periods reflect both annual and long-term (3 years) performance with greatest weighting (40%) on long-term performance. The Company reviewed PSU plans of other peer companies and those of non-peer companies and concluded that the performance metrics applied under both the STIP and LTIP provide a balanced measure of performance. As GL does not support the use of the same metrics under more than one plan, TSR has been removed from the STIP in 2018. If Company performance is below the 20th percentile of its peer group, the payout factor is zero. Additionally, in a year of negative relative TSR, the maximum payout factor is capped at 100%. Restricted Share Units (“RSUs”) cliff-vest on November 30th in the third year from date of grant. PSUs vest 3 years from the date of grant. Deferred Share Units (“DSUs”) vest immediately however may not be settled while an active director. Stock options vest in three tranches, 1/3 on the first anniversary from the date of grant, 1/3 on the second anniversary and 1/3 on the third anniversary. The life of the stock options is between 5 and 7 years and on average, NEOs exercise options after 5 years from date of grant. Stock option grants represent approximately 50% of the total LTIP grant. The Company believes that the LTI and STI plans ensure that management’s interests are aligned to those of the shareholders and provide the company the opportunity to attract, retain and motivate the executives.
2. General Policy – Change of Control Provisions Glass Lewis reported their concern that the Company provides immediate vesting of certain equity awards upon a change in control of the Company however noted the HRC has removed all such provisions from agreements with NEOs, therefore eliminating their concern going forward.	As part of the merger in 2015, continuing executives were issued amended and restated employment agreements which removed the single-trigger change of control (“COC”) feature from their prior employment contracts and waived the immediate vesting under the supplemental executive retirement plan (“SERP”), LTIP and other benefits.
3. Disclosure – Performance Goals not Disclosed Noting an overall improvement year-over-year, GL would like the Company to disclose a clearer description of the target goals under the STI plan or rationale for the absence of such information.	Alamos has disclosed a threshold, target, and maximum goal for each corporate metric used to evaluate the Company’s performance under its STIP and has disclosed such detail in this Management Information Circular.

Management Information Circular 14

Institutional Shareholder Services

Prior to the 2017 Alamos Annual General Meeting, ISS recommended a “For” vote on all matters including the advisory vote on executive compensation. In its review, ISS noted certain concerns. The table below outlines how these were addressed by Alamos:

ISS Comment

The Company’s Response

1.Pay Practices ISS raised a medium concern on Relative Degree of Alignment (“RDA”) indicating less than optimal pay for performance alignment and lack of disclosure of all the actual pre-determined targets and performance against those targets for the determination of the short-term incentive bonus.

Alamos has disclosed in this Circular, the threshold, targets and maximums of the corporate objectives and the rating that reflects performance against such metrics. ISS’ pay for performance analysis included the retention payment that was paid to certain executives on the merger between Alamos Gold Inc. (“Former Alamos”) and AuRico Gold Inc. (“AuRico”). This payment was in consideration for these executives waiving their contractual rights to change of control payments on completion of the merger and in consideration of a renegotiated employment contract that removed a single-trigger change of control provision. This retention payment was negotiated and awarded on July 2, 2015 to be paid 25%/25%/50% on July 2, 2015, 2016 and 2017 respectively. The pay for performance analysis should have excluded this amount as the payment represents a settlement of a 2015 liability and was not with respect to 2016 performance.

Peer Group – Executive Compensation

The HRC and subsequently, the Board, reviewed and approved the peer group for 2017 executive compensation (consisting of base salaries, and annual non-equity incentive targets and long-term incentives) at the February 22, 2017 Board meeting. The companies that were selected to be a part of the peer group fell within a range of between 0.5 and 2.5 times Alamos’ Last Twelve Months (“LTM”) Total Revenue and Market Capitalization. This reflects the same peer group as disclosed in the 2017 Management Information Circular dated March 29, 2017. The peer group selected in 2017 is as follows:

B2Gold Corp.	Centerra Gold Inc.	Coeur Mining Inc.
Detour Gold Corporation	Eldorado Gold Corp.	Hecla Mining Company
Hudbay Minerals Inc.	IAMGOLD Corp.	New Gold Inc.
Oceana Gold Corporation	Pan American Silver Corp.	SEMAFO Inc.
SSR Mining Inc. (formerly Silver Standard Resources)	Tahoe Resources Inc.

Peer Group – Performance

The HRC and subsequently, the Board, reviewed and approved the peer group for the 2017 Performance Share Unit (“PSU”) grant at the February 22, 2017 Board meeting: The performance peer group selected is the same peer group as above for executive compensation with the exception of Hudbay Minerals, Inc., Pan American Silver Corp., and the addition of the S&P/TSX Global Gold Index. The performance peer group excludes non-gold producing mining companies that fall within the defined parameters as noted above.

B2Gold Corp.	Centerra Gold Inc.	Coeur Mining Inc.
Detour Gold Corporation	Eldorado Gold Corp.	Hecla Mining Company
IAMGOLD Corp.	New Gold Inc.	Oceana Gold Corporation
SEMAFO Inc.	SSR Mining Inc.	Tahoe Resources Inc.
TSX Global Gold Index

Key components of the Company’s compensation plan are discussed in greater detail below.

Management Information Circular 15

Base Salary

Base salaries provide executive officers with remuneration based on the position and the required qualifications and skills to effectively perform the functions contained in the job description. Base salaries are also the determinant for other forms of compensation (annual non-equity incentive, long-term incentive, pension, and benefits) to the extent these are paid or granted as a percentage of base salary. Base salaries are intended to be internally equitable and externally competitive, with the principal objectives being to retain and motivate existing executives and employees and attract candidates. Salaries are reviewed annually based on performance levels within the Company, and compared to base salaries for similar roles in peer group companies. The Company targets the median of its peer group, however, actual salaries are a reflection of industry economics, Company performance, individual performance, years of experience at the executive level, and technical, management, and leadership skills. Annual adjustments to base salary are assessed and recommended by the CEO (regarding other NEOs and executives) to the HRC and in turn, recommended by the HRC to the Board for final approval. The CEO’s base salary adjustment is recommended by the HRC to the Board.

For 2017, NEO base salary increases ranged from 3.0% to 6.7% and are further explained in the notes accompanying the Summary of Compensation table.

Company Performance

Alamos had a strong year in 2017, having reached many milestones, notably:

• Achieved guidance with record gold production of over 429,000 ounces in 2017 at total cash costs of $770 per ounce;

• Sold 430,115 ounces of gold at an average realized price of $1,262 per ounce for revenues of $542.8 million;

• Generated positive free-cash flow at each of the Company’s operations for total mine-site free cash flow of $77.5 million for the year, including record free cash flow at Young-Davidson;

• Significantly improved the Company’s financial condition and liquidity through a $250 million bought deal equity financing completed in January 2017, the subsequent repayment of the $315 million High Yield Note liability and the expansion of the Company’s revolving credit facility from $150 million to $400 million on peer-leading terms;

• Completed the acquisition of Richmont Mines Inc. and its Island Gold mine, a high-grade, long-life asset in Ontario, Canada;

• Completed construction of La Yaqui Phase I on budget and ahead of schedule with the first gold pour in August;

• Increased mineral reserves globally by 2.1M ounces;

• Achieved a significant safety milestone of five million hours without a lost-time incident at the El Chanate mine site;

• Reported positive feasibility studies for the Kirazlı and Ağı Dağı projects in Turkey and the Lynn Lake project located in Manitoba, Canada; and

• Received the forestry permits for the Kirazlı project in Turkey.

Alamos has gone through transformational change, particularly since the July 2015 merger with AuRico. The Company has grown from a single asset producer in 2014 to currently having four operating mines. Prior to the merger, the Company’s annual production was approximately 140,000 ounces and in 2018 is projected to produce approximately 500,000 ounces representing a 233% increase at a 13% decrease in all-in sustaining costs.

In 2017, Alamos significantly strengthened its balance sheet and liquidity through the financing measures outlined in the highlights above. The Company is well positioned with a peer-leading balance sheet, growing cash flow from operations and the financial strength to self-finance its portfolio of development projects, including the Kirazlı and Ağı Dağı projects in Turkey and Lynn Lake in Manitoba, Canada. Further, Alamos has a strong history of shareholder returns, consistently paying semi-annual dividends, returning over $120 million to shareholders since 2010.

Performance Graph

The following graph compares the yearly percentage change in the cumulative performance of the Alamos Common Shares with the S&P/TSX Global Gold Index for the period from January 1, 2013 to December 31, 2017 assuming a $100 investment in its Common Shares.

Relative Performance

Executive compensation decisions at Alamos reflect a comprehensive assessment of the Company’s performance, including its performance across a number of key financial and operational metrics in the short and medium-term relative to the Company’s performance peer group. The following graphs depict the analysis of relative performance that the HRC took into consideration to form its pay decisions at year end. Specifically, the HRC reviewed the 1-year and 3-year performance of Alamos against the 12 companies that make up the Company’s performance peer group (page 15) on the following categories of measures:

• Total shareholder return (“TSR”);

• Measures of growth: change in operating cash flow, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA), revenue, gold production, and total assets; and

• Profitability/return measures: return on assets (“ROA”), return on equity (“ROE”), and return on invested capital (“ROIC”).

Management Information Circular 24

Relative Performance – TSR vs. Peers

During 2017, Alamos performed above the median of the majority of its performance peer groups on TSR for the year, ranking at the 62^nd percentile. Over the medium term, Alamos ranks below the 25^th percentile on 3-year TSR, but is above median when reviewing TSR from the completion of the merger with AuRico on July 6, 2015 to December 31, 2017.

Relative Performance – Growth Measures

Alamos performed strongly against its performance peer groups on measures of growth, ranking at the median or better on a one year and three-year basis across all five growth metrics examined by the HRC. Of note, Alamos’ 3-year growth in operating cash flow, gold production, and revenue ranks above the 75th percentile. This is in part due to a declining cost profile and lower capital spending and in part due to a 233% increase in production since 2014. These results are indicative of the successful execution of Alamos’ growth strategy.

Management Information Circular 25

Relative Performance – Return Metrics

Alamos has performed below the median on ROA, ROE, and ROIC for both the one year and three-year analysis. In 2015, the Company inherited the financial statements of AuRico which included a significant accumulated retained deficit balance as compared to Alamos’ history of retained earnings. As a result, the return metrics for the one and three-year periods have been negatively impacted by the historical financial performance of AuRico prior to 2015. While Alamos’ overall performance on these profitability and return metrics has been below expectations, the HRC notes that Alamos’ ROE, ROA, and ROIC are trending positively on both an absolute and a relative basis, as the Company realizes benefits from the merger.

Annual Non-Equity Incentive

The HRC determines, annual non-equity incentive awards to be paid to the executive officers of the Company in respect of a financial year based on both individual and corporate performance, as well as the recommendations of the CEO (regarding other NEOs). Each executive officer is responsible for presenting specific individual goals and objectives to the CEO and Board for review and approval on an annual basis. The CEO approves, on a discretionary basis, annual non-equity incentives to be paid by the Company to all other eligible employees of the Company in respect of a financial year. Annual non-equity incentive targets are set based on peer group benchmarking, and an internal review for internal equity purposes. An annual non-equity incentive is provided as an element of total compensation to provide an incentive to achieve or exceed annual goals consistent with operating or financial metrics that can generally be improved on a year over year basis. The Company metrics are outlined in the table under “Corporate Metrics”. All executives other than the CEO, CFO and COO have a 50:50 weighting of their individual and corporate metrics. The CFO and COO have a weighting of 75:25 corporate metrics and individual goals, whereas the CEO is measured entirely on performance relative to corporate metrics. The HRC retains the right to apply discretion to the bonuses awarded.

Details of the Plan

The annual non-equity incentive plan is structured to recognize individual and Company-wide performance. Goal achievement equates to a 100% target payout, while exceeding goals is recognized by a payout of up to 150% of target. Individual goal recognition is determined in concert with overall corporate performance. Equally, the Board has the discretion to recognize goals that are not fully achieved but would be paid at a threshold level (below target). Target annual non-equity incentive payout levels are expressed in ranges and as percentages of base salary.

For purposes of calculating short-term incentive bonuses, the Company achieved an overall performance rating of 118%, reflecting the substantial improvement to the balance sheet in the year as well as the acquisition of Richmont Mines Inc. However, given that the Alamos total share return for the 2017 year was negative, the CEO, CFO and COO elected to cap their short-term incentive bonus at 100% of their target.

The difference between the short-term incentive bonus that would have otherwise been payable calculated at 118% of target for the CEO, CFO and COO was allocated to long-term incentive in the form of stock options.

Overall bonus awards (corporate and individual metrics) for the NEOs were as follows:

Corporate Metrics

Below is a summary of the corporate metrics that were used in determining 2017 awards for executives. The results reported under the “2017 Results” column were those achieved in the 2017 year. Each metric has a range defining a threshold, target and maximum. If a result falls 25% below target, the rating is zero. Target, which is defined as a stretch goal, equates to 100% while 15% or higher than target equates to 150% rating.

The Chair of the Board and the Chair of the HRC meet in advance of the respective year end meetings to review with management the corporate metric results for the performance year. At this meeting, a comprehensive review of annual company performance is undertaken, that includes discussions of events or impacts - positive or negative - that are outside management’s control. Accordingly, financial and certain other metrics are normalized for items such as gold price volatility and foreign exchange movements.

The 2017 metrics and associated weightings were:

1.    Growth and Creating Shareholder Value – 30%

2.    Financial Performance – 30%

3.    Operational and Sustainability – 40%

The following table states the 2017 corporate metric targets and the 2017 results, including the weightings.

Long-Term Incentive Plans

The long-term incentive grant in 2017 for executives was divided equally between stock options and PSUs.

The Company provides its executives with incentives to achieve the Company’s long-term objective of shareholder value through share price appreciation. Each executive plays a critical role in achievement of the Company’s operational, financial and other corporate objectives which can result in share price appreciation. Each officer is awarded a long-term incentive package on entering service, and annual grants which are reviewed and approved by the Board. The Company utilizes the initial value of a grant, as determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, to evaluate executive compensation which is a common practice amongst the Company’s peer group.

The CEO’s long-term incentive target is at median of the peer group, based on market studies. The CFO and COO’s target is a factor of the CEOs grant and the balance of NEO’s grants are a factor of the CFO and COO grant. The dollar value of the 2017 grants are consistent with the dollar value of the 2016 grants which are at median for the CEO.

The Company’s Long-term Incentive Plan (“LTIP”) provides for awards of stock options, PSUs, restricted share units (“RSUs”) and deferred share units (“DSUs”) and, together with the PSUs and RSUs, (the “Unit Awards” or “LTIs”).

All long-term incentive grants are made pursuant to the LTIP. The table in the Alamos Gold Equity Compensation Plans section summarizes the key features of the LTIP. See “Securities Authorized for Issuance under Equity Compensation Plans” on page 53 for further details of the LTIP.

Performance Share Units

The Board approved a PSU grant for executives under the amended LTIP on March 6, 2017. The PSU parameters are as follows:

1.    Performance Measure

The Company uses three-year relative TSR, a measure consistent with that of Company peers, for those companies that grant PSUs.

2.    Performance Periods

As per the terms of the LTIP adopted by Alamos in 2016, the performance cycle is defined as the period of time between the grant date and the date specified by the Company in the performance criteria and is to be no later than December 31^st of the calendar year three years after the calendar year grant date. As such, the performance periods have been defined as:

• Performance Period One = Date of Grant to 1st Year Anniversary

• Performance Period Two = 1st Year Anniversary to 2nd Year Anniversary

• Performance Period Three = 2nd Year Anniversary to 3rd Year Anniversary

• Cumulative Performance Period = Date of Grant to 3rd Year Anniversary

The PSUs will vest on the 3rd anniversary from the date of grant (end of Cumulative Performance Period). As per the LTIP, PSUs may be settled in cash (based on the Market Price (five-day volume weighted average price) as of the vesting date), shares, or any combination of cash and shares, at the sole discretion of the Board. PSUs will be settled within 30 days of the vesting date.

3.    Performance Period Weightings

Management Information Circular 29

In order to ensure the performance factor for PSUs are focused on the long-term, the performance period weightings are as follows:

• Performance Period One – 20%

• Performance Period Two – 20%

• Performance Period Three – 20%

• Cumulative Performance Period – 40%

4.    (a) 2016 Performance Peer Group

The 2016 performance peer group used for evaluating relative TSR for the 2017 PSU grant can be found in the Company’s Management Information Circular for the year end December 31, 2016 as available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

(b) 2017 Performance Peer Group

Refer to page 15 for the 2017 performance peer group.

5.    Performance Payout Factor (scale)

The number of PSUs that will vest is subject to:

• Completion of the vesting period; and

• Company performance relative to the performance peer group.

The scale below reflects the level of risk embedded in the LTIP. There is the possibility of a zero payout (performance below P20) and the upper end of the scale has been set at a factor of 175% for performance above the 80th percentile. One hundred percent of payout has been mapped to the median or better for performance relative to peers. That said, in the case of a cumulative negative TSR, the payout factor will be capped at 100% even if TSR is above the 60^th percentile of the peer group.

Performance - Relative TSR, Years 1, 2, 3, and 1 - 3	Payout Factor (as a %)
Below 20th Percentile	0
20th to below 30th Percentile	25
30th to below 40th Percentile	50
40th to below 50th Percentile	75
50th to below 60th Percentile	100
60th to below 70th Percentile	125
70th to below 80th Percentile	150
Above 80th Percentile	175

Employee Share Purchase Plan

On April 1, 2014, the Board of AuRico approved an Employee Share Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) which continues to be employed by the Company following completion of the merger in 2015. The ESPP is designed to encourage employee savings through ownership of Common Shares. Alamos believes the ESPP aids in attracting, retaining, and encouraging employees to acquire an ownership interest in the Company. Officers and employees of the Company and its subsidiaries (“Eligible Participants”), may elect to contribute between 1% and 10% of their base salary towards the purchase of Common Shares and the Company matches the contribution in an amount equal to 75% of the participant’s contribution. Participant and Company contributions vest immediately, however, participants are limited to one withdrawal per quarter. The Company purchases shares in the open market in connection with the administration of the ESPP.

Pension Plan

The Board approved a Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (“SERP”) for the Company’s executives which became effective on January 1, 2014. The SERP is an unfunded, non-registered plan. The Company is not required nor obligated to fund for the provision of any benefits under this SERP prior to the date the members’ benefit entitlements fall due. There are no physical assets or funds

Management Information Circular 30

held in trust in connection with this unfunded SERP. The members are unsecured creditors of the Company with respect to balances in their SERP Vested Accumulated Accounts.

The SERP is administered by a Company-approved Authorized Administrative Agent. Each executive provides their Investment Direction within a pre-approved list of investment options, in writing, which specifies the investment and percentages to be notionally invested in the Company-approved Allowable Investment Options.

SERP benefits are Canadian dollar denominated. Executives are eligible to participate in the SERP on the 1st of the month immediately following the completion of six (6) months of continuous service or earlier, subject to Board approval. The SERP has a rolling vesting provision of two (2) years. The Company credits 12% of each executive’s annual earnings (base salary and annual non-equity incentive) to the members’ SERP Accumulation Sub-account. No other earnings may be included in this calculation and the executive does not contribute a cash or matching amount. Executives are not permitted to make notional contributions to the SERP.

The value of each executive’s SERP Account will be determined by the Authorized Administrative Agent and will take into account the notional employer contributions and the investment earnings thereon.

Upon retirement, which has been defined in the SERP as the 1st of the month following the 65th birthday of the executive (“Normal Retirement Date”), the executive is entitled to the SERP total accumulation account. Should an executive retire prior to the Normal Retirement Date, the executive is entitled to the SERP vested accumulation account.

Upon total and permanent disability prior to the Normal Retirement Date, the executive’s benefit entitlement is to the SERP total accumulation account. Upon resignation or termination from the Company, the executive’s benefit entitlement is the SERP vested accumulation account. The Board has the discretion to deem the benefit entitlement to be the SERP total accumulation account in the case of termination of employment.

Other than in the case of termination for cause, the Board has the option to approve vesting of the SERP Total accumulation account, in consideration for the departing executive performing their duties in good faith during the notice period and as expected by the Company.

If the vested portion of the SERP total accumulation account is less than $100,000 the benefit shall be provided in a lump-sum payment, less applicable withholding taxes. If the vested portion of the SERP total accumulation account is $100,000 or more, the executive may receive the benefit as a lump-sum payment, less applicable withholding taxes, or a lump-sum contribution to a Retirement Compensation Arrangement (RCA) as defined under the Income Tax Act (Canada).

Historic Retention Payments

The merger between Former Alamos and AuRico triggered a change of control in accordance with the terms of certain executives’ respective employment agreements. The agreements (in most cases) had been in place since 2012 and included a single-trigger change of control clause. The Board set out to ensure continuity in all executive functions of the Company and incentivize each executive to positively contribute to the successful integration of Alamos. Amended and restated employment agreements for each of the Company’s senior executives, including the NEOs were executed as at July 3, 2015. These agreements were amended to remove the single-trigger change of control clauses in accordance with executive compensation best practices and contained, a retention bonus agreement for each applicable executive (each a “Retention Agreement”). The retention agreement defined three payments, with the first being upon completion of the merger and/or receipt of an executed agreement and the subsequent payments on the second

Management Information Circular 31

and third anniversaries of the completion of the merger. The payments were calculated based on the cash component of the change of control terms of the previous employment which was in consideration of each executive waiving the immediate vesting of their long-term incentives, SERP and other benefits. The first payment was delivered on July 15, 2015 for all NEOs except for the CEO which was paid on September 15, 2015.

Managing Compensation-Related Risk

The Board and the HRC have an active role in risk oversight regarding the Company’s compensation policies and practices. They consider all factors related to an executive’s performance and regularly assess, as part of their respective deliberations, the risk implications of the Company’s compensation policies and practices, including the potential for any inappropriate or excessive risk-taking by its executive officers, in determining compensation. The Company uses the following practices to discourage inappropriate or excessive risk-taking by directors and executive officers:

• The HRC avoids compensation policies which encourage excessive risk taking, such as compensation policies that allow pay out before the risks associated with the performance are likely to materialize, and policies that do not include regulatory compliance and risk management as part of their performance metrics. In the HRC’s view, compensation outcomes must be symmetric with risk outcomes. Variable compensation for senior executives is considered more risk-aligned when it is deferred. Specifically, the payout for the executive should be deferred until the long-term impact of the action that is taken can be assessed and determined.

• Incentive compensation awards are based upon achievement of both corporate and individual objectives, and are not inordinately weighted to any single metric, which in the Company’s view could be distortive. Compensation packages consist of an appropriate mix of fixed and performance based compensation, with short and long-term performance conditions.

• Each director and executive officer of the Company is required to comply with the minimum equity ownership requirements of the Company (see “Minimum Equity Ownership Requirements”).

• The HRC has discretion in assessing the annual incentive awards paid to executive officers of the Company, based on both individual and corporate performance.

• The long-term incentives available to executives are subject to vesting provisions, such that the interests of grantees remain aligned with those of shareholders for a longer period, including with respect to the impact of their decisions on the Company’s share price performance.

• The Board has adopted an Executive Compensation Claw-back Policy concerning awards made under the Company's incentive plans. Under this policy, which applies to all executives, the Board may, in its sole discretion, to the full extent permitted by governing laws and to the extent it determines that it is in the Company’s best interest to do so, require reimbursement of all or a portion of incentive compensation received by an executive in certain circumstances. Specifically, the Board may seek reimbursement of full or partial compensation from an executive or former executive officer in situations where:

o the amount of incentive compensation received by the executive or former executive officer was calculated based upon, or contingent on, the achievement of certain financial results that were subsequently the subject of, or affected by, a restatement of all or a portion of the Company's financial statements;

o the executive officer engaged in gross negligence, intentional misconduct or fraud that caused or partially caused the need for the restatement; and

o the incentive compensation payment received would have been lower had the financial results been properly reported.

• The Company’s Insider Trading Policy prohibits directors, officers, employees or any other or person retained by the Company or any of its subsidiaries to: (a) engage in hedging transactions with respect to securities in the Company; (b) hold securities of the Company in margin accounts; or, (c) pledge securities of the Company as collateral.

Summary of Compensation

(1) The amounts for 2015 represents the fair value of the RSUs granted to the respective Named Executive Officers. In 2016 and 2017, NEOs were granted PSUs. These amounts were calculated by multiplying the number of PSUs granted by CAD$6.90 (2016) and CAD $9.62 (2017) being the “Market Price” of the Common Shares on grant date as provided for in the RSU Plan.

(2) The grant date fair value of option-based awards for 2017 was calculated using a Black-Scholes option pricing model, applying the following key inputs:

	Minimum		Maximum
Risk-free rate	0.91	%	1.35	%
Expected dividend yield	0.70	%	0.70	%
Expected stock price volatility	57	%	57	%
Expected option life, based on terms of the grants (months)	36		84

Option pricing models require the input of highly subjective assumptions, particularly as to the expected volatility of the stock. Changes in these assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate and, therefore, it is management’s view that the existing models may not provide a single reliable measure of the fair value of the Company’s stock option grants. The Company uses an option-pricing model because there is no market for which employee stock options may be freely traded. Readers are cautioned not to assume that the value derived from the model is the value that an employee might receive if the stock options were freely traded, nor assume that these amounts are the same as those reported for by the employee as income received for tax purposes.

(3) Mr. McCluskey received a salary increase effective January 1, 2017 from CAD$735,000 to CAD$760,000. “All Other Compensation” in 2017 includes a club dues allowance, executive medical health coverage, parking fees, value of the employer match of his share purchases under the ESPP and the final installment of his retention payment which amounted to CAD$1,260,000. His pension is the notional value of his annual SERP credit which is 12% of his base salary and annual bonus plus investment gains.

(4) Mr. Porter received a salary increase effective January 1, 2017 from CAD$425,000 to CAD$450,000 based on his performance and position in the range. “All Other Compensation” in 2017 includes executive medical health coverage, value of the employer match of his share purchases under the ESPP and the final installment of his retention payment which amounted to CAD$536,026. His pension is the notional value of his annual SERP credit which is 12% of his base salary and annual bonus plus investment gains.

(5) Mr. MacPhail received a salary increase effective January 1, 2017 from CAD$450,000 to CAD$480,000 based on his performance and position in the range. “All Other Compensation” in 2017 includes executive medical health coverage, parking fees, the value of the employer match of his share purchases under the ESPP, and the final installment of his retention payment which amounted to CAD$643,860. His pension is the notional value of his annual SERP credit which is 12% of his base salary and annual bonus plus investment gains. The first half of 2015 compensation reported for Mr. MacPhail and was earned at AuRico.

(6) Mr. Bostwick received a salary increase from CAD$330,000 to CAD$340,000 effective January 1, 2017. “All Other Compensation” in 2017 includes executive medical health coverage, the value of the employer match of his share purchases under the ESPP and the final installment of his retention payment which amounted to CAD$435,121. His pension is the notional value of his annual SERP credit which is 12% of his base salary and annual bonus plus investment gains.

(7) Dr. Chavez received a salary increase from USD$277,000 to USD$285,310 effective January 1, 2017. “All Other Compensation” in 2017 includes enhanced medical health coverage and the value of the employer match of his share purchases under the ESPP and the final installment of his retention payment which amounted to USD$243,908.

CEO Compensation

The table below outlines key metrics with respect to CEO total compensation. The differential between the CEO total compensation and the next highest NEO in 2017 was 2.0 times. This reflects the level of responsibility of the CEO. Peer group data for 2017 was not available at the time of writing this Circular.

Management Information Circular 33

CEO compensation as a percentage of three-year average earnings relative to the peer group was not reported as the merger between Alamos and AuRico in July 2015 resulted in earnings for the merged company only being available for a portion of that three-year period. Further, the Company reported a loss for the second half of 2015 and in 2016, rendering this calculation not relevant. The Company expects to report this metric in 2018.

Differential between CEO Total Compensation and Next Highest NEO	Total Compensation of the CEO as a Percentage of 2017 Earnings ($26.6M)	Total Compensation of the CEO as a Percentage of 3 Year Average Earnings

CEO Disclosed vs. Realizable Pay

As part of our assessment of the effectiveness of our compensation program and its alignment to the principle of pay for performance, the HRC reviews “lookback” analysis to ensure compensation outcomes are reasonable in light of performance. Specifically, the HRC compares the relationship between the CEO’s disclosed pay and “realizable” pay to our share price performance. Disclosed pay captures the intended value of compensation awarded at grant date value, while realizable pay measures the actual value of compensation earned by taking into consideration current share price (measured as of December 31, 2017).

As shown below, CEO realizable pay is less than the disclosed pay in years 2015 and 2017, when the Company’s total shareholder return was negative and below that of the TSX Global Gold Index. The only year in which Mr. McCluskey’s realizable pay was higher than the disclosed pay was 2016, when Alamos’ TSR was over 100% and outperformed the Index. The results demonstrate that the outcome of compensation awarded to Mr. McCluskey is aligned with the Company’s absolute and relative share price performance.

Notes:

• Disclosed Pay captures the grant date value of compensation awarded each year between 2015 and 2017, same as what is reported in Summary Compensation table but in CAD in order to negate any exchange rate impact. This includes salary + bonuses paid + grant date fair market value of share and option-based awards for each year.

• Realizable Pay measures the actual value of compensation awarded each year between 2015 and 2017 by combining the value of salary and bonuses with the market value (as of December 31, 2017) of share and option-based awards granted over the past 3 years. This includes market value of share-based awards (vested and unvested) + in-the-money options granted between 2015-2017 (whether exercised or not).

• TSR and TSX Global Gold Index figure for 2015 represents results from July 2, 2015 – December 31, 2015 after the merger of Alamos and AuRico, at which time Alamos inherited the historical financial and share price performance of AuRico prior to the merger. Post-merger TSR is shown for 2015 given that the current CEO of Alamos had no involvement with AuRico prior to the merger. Values for 2016 and 2017 are for full year results.

Termination and Resignation for Good Reason

As at December 31, 2017, the Company had employment agreements with each of the NEOs, as detailed below.

For our CEO, CFO and COO, the term of their employment agreements is indefinite. If they are terminated without cause (“Not for Cause”), they are entitled to receive any compensation owed and expenses incurred up to the date of termination plus a termination payment equal to 24 months' base salary, an annual incentive fee equal to 24 months (based on the average of the annual incentive fee for the three years prior to the date of termination), 24 months of the then current value of the benefits (including health, dental, AD&D, LTD, life insurance, critical illness and annual Medcan membership), a pro-rata amount of the annual incentive fee for the current year to the date of termination based on the average of the annual incentive amount received for the three years prior to the date of termination and immediate vesting of all outstanding stock options, SERP, PSUs, and RSUs. Their amended and restated employment agreements do not include a change of control clause but rather a Not for Cause clause as described above and a resignation for good reason (“Resignation for Good Reason”) clause allowing each to resign within 60 days of learning of a decrease in base salary other than when there is the same uniform percentage decrease in the base pay of all executives, an assignment of duties materially inconsistent in any respect of their position, authority, duties or responsibilities, a Board decision to change the reporting location to more than 50 kilometers from the current location or any other change in compensation and benefits or working conditions that may have otherwise constituted constructive dismissal. Upon Resignation for Good Reason the executive would receive the same payments as due to them if they were terminated Not for Cause.

For all other executives, the term of their employment agreements is indefinite. If they are terminated Not for Cause, they are entitled to receive any compensation owed and expenses incurred up to the date of termination plus a termination payment equal to 18 months' base salary, an annual incentive fee equal to 18 months (based on the average of the annual incentive fee for the three years prior to the date of termination), 18 months of the then current value of the benefits (including health, dental, AD&D, LTD, life insurance, critical illness and annual Medcan membership), a pro-rata amount of the annual incentive fee for the current year to the date of termination based on the average of the annual incentive amount received for the three years prior to the date of termination and immediate vesting of all outstanding stock options, SERP, PSUs, and RSUs.

Outstanding DSU Awards

Non-executive directors may receive a portion or all of their director’s compensation as DSUs, which represents an investment by directors in Alamos similar to share ownership. Each director may elect to receive all of their director fees as DSUs. The intention of granting DSUs is to further align the interests of directors with those of shareholders. In addition, while serving as a director, DSUs cannot be paid out. DSUs are paid in full to the director following termination of Board service. Each DSU vests immediately and represents the right of the director to receive, after termination of all positions with Alamos, the market value of the DSUs equal to the volume-weighted average trading price of Alamos shares on the TSX for the five trading days immediately preceding the payout date (for DSUs granted under the Company’s Deferred Share Unit Plan) or the date on which the director ceases to hold all positions with the Company (for DSUs granted under the LTIP).

The HRC, in consultation with outside consultants and management, make recommendations on the grant of additional DSUs to the Board for their final approval. Director grants are determined through a discretionary review of the Company’s peer group ensuring that our practices are competitive and current. Awards are paid in alignment with the Company’s overall compensation strategy to target compensation for its directors at median of the Company’s peer group.

All incoming directors receive an initial grant of DSUs at a value of approximately CAD$100,000 based on the closing share price of the shares on the TSX on the date immediately preceding the finalization of the Board resolution approving such grant.

The Company no longer grants RSUs to directors.

Directors are expected to achieve this threshold by the later of December 31, 2018 and the date that is the three-year anniversary of the date the individual became a director of Alamos. The CEO is required to own Common Shares, PSUs or RSUs (vested or unvested) having an aggregate value equivalent to three times his annual base salary. Each of the other executive officers is required to own Common Shares, PSUs or RSUs (vested or unvested) having an aggregate value equivalent to his or her annual base salary. Officers are expected to gradually achieve these ownership levels over a period of five years from the later of December 31, 2017 or the date on which they became executive officers.

STATEMENT OF CORPORATE GOVERNANCE PRACTICES

The Role of the Board of Directors

The primary responsibility of the Board is to provide governance and stewardship to the Company. Each of the members of the Board is required to exercise their business judgment in a manner consistent with their fiduciary duties. In particular, directors are required to act honestly and in good faith, with a view to the best interests of the Company and to exercise the care, diligence and skill that a reasonably prudent person would exercise in comparable circumstances.

The Board discharges its responsibility for supervising the management of the business and affairs of the Company by delegating the day-to-day management of the Company to senior officers. The Board oversees the Company’s systems of corporate governance and financial reporting and controls to ensure that the Company reports adequate and fair financial information to shareholders and engages in ethical and legal corporate conduct. Its goal is to ensure that Alamos continues to operate as a successful business, and to optimize financial returns to increase the Company’s value over time while effectively managing the risks confronting the organization. The Board has adopted a formal mandate setting out the role and responsibilities of the Board, a copy of which is attached as Schedule “A” to this Circular.

The independent directors meet in the absence of the non-independent director at each meeting of the Board. The sessions are presided over by the Company’s independent Chair. Any issues addressed at the in-camera sessions requiring action on behalf of, or communication to, management are communicated to management by the independent directors.

Management Information Circular 45

The Board has also adopted written position descriptions for the Chair of the Board and the CEO in order to delineate their respective roles and responsibilities. The responsibilities of the Chair of the Board include providing overall leadership to enhance the effectiveness of the Board; assisting the Board, Board committees and the individual directors in effectively understanding and discharging their respective duties and responsibilities; overseeing all aspects of the Board and Board committees functions to ensure compliance with the Company’s corporate governance practices; acting as an adviser to the CEO and other senior officers; and fostering ethical and responsible decision making by the Board and its individual members. The Chair of the Board is also required to coordinate and preside at all meetings of the Board and shareholders, in each case to ensure compliance with applicable law and the Company’s corporate governance practices.

The CEO is to be the leader of an effective and cohesive management team for the Company, set the tone for the Company by exemplifying consistent values of high ethical standards and fairness, lead the Company in defining its vision, be the main spokesperson for the Company and ensure that the Company achieves its strategic objectives. The CEO works with, and is accountable to, the Board with due regard to the Board's requirement to be informed and independent.

It is expected that each director must be able to devote sufficient time to discharge their responsibilities effectively. In order to facilitate this, the Board has adopted a policy limiting the number of boards considered appropriate for directors, having regard to whether they are independent directors or members of management. Specifically, in the case of the CEO, he shall not sit on more than two outside public company boards in addition to that of the Company, and in the case of a non-management director, he or she shall not sit on more than five outside public company boards in addition to that of the Company. As of the date of this Circular, all of the directors of the Company are in compliance with this policy of the Board.

Director Independence

Eight of the Company’s nine directors are “independent” within the meaning of National Instrument 58-101 and one is not independent. John McCluskey is not an independent director because of his position as President and CEO of the Company. The current Chair of the Board, Paul Murphy, is an independent director and is not involved in day-to-day operations of the Company. In the event a Chair was selected that was not independent, the Board, in accordance with the Board of Directors Mandate, will designate one of the independent directors as the lead director.

The Board is responsible for determining whether or not each director is an independent director. In 2015 the Board adopted a Director Independence Policy which assists the Board in determining whether a director is independent within the meaning of National Instrument 58‐101 (Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices) and National Policy 58‐201 (Corporate Governance Guidelines) and the New York Stock Exchange corporate governance rules.

This policy also requires each director who has been determined to be independent to notify the Chair of the CGNC, as soon as reasonably practicable, in the event that such director’s personal circumstances change in a manner that may affect the Board’s determination of whether such director is independent.

The Board believes that it should be comprised of directors that are to the greatest extent possible free from actual, perceived or potential conflicts of interest. The Board of Directors Mandate includes that when a director’s principal occupation or business association changes substantially from the position he or she held when originally invited to join the Board (determined by reference to factors such as country of principal residence, industry affiliation, etc.) that director should tender a letter of proposed resignation to the Chair of the CGNC. The CGNC will review the director’s continuation on the Board and recommend to the Board whether, in light of the circumstances, the Board should accept the proposed resignation or request that the director continue to serve.

Many of our Directors sit on the board of other issuers. This information is listed under each Director profile in the Election of Directors section starting on page 5. As of March 23, 2018, no members of our Board served together on the boards (or board committees) of other public companies.

Ethical Business Conduct

The Alamos Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (the “Code”) requires high standards of professional and ethical conduct from our directors. Alamos’ reputation for honesty and integrity is integral to the success of its business. No director or employee will be permitted to achieve results through violations of laws or regulations, or through unscrupulous dealings. Alamos also seeks to ensure that its business practices are compatible with the economic and social priorities of each location in which it operates.

Although customs vary by country and standards of ethics may vary in different business environments, Alamos’ business activities shall always be conducted with honesty, integrity and accountability. The Code has been filed on and is accessible on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and on the Company’s website at www.alamosgold.com. In order to monitor compliance, the Board requires each officer and director to certify on an annual basis their agreement and compliance with the Code. If any material waivers from the Code are granted to directors or officers of the Company, the Board is required to disclose this in the ensuing quarterly or annual report on the finances of the Company. No waivers have been granted. Activities which may give rise to conflicts of interest are prohibited unless specifically approved by the Board or the Audit Committee. Each director must disclose all actual or potential conflicts of interest to the Board or the Audit Committee and refrain from voting on all matters in which such director has a conflict of interest. In addition, if a conflict of interest arises, the director must excuse himself or herself from any discussion or decision on any matter in which the director is precluded from voting as a result of a conflict of interest.

In addition to adopting the Code, the Board has adopted the Company’s Insider Trading Policy and Anti-Bribery and Anti-Corruption Policy in order to, among other things, encourage and promote a culture of ethical business conduct. The Company periodically holds information and training sessions for employees to ensure awareness of, and compliance with, applicable law, the Code and other internal policies.

For purposes of orientation, all new directors receive the governance policies of the Company, including Board policies, a record of public information about the Company, minutes from recent meetings of the Board and its committees and other relevant information. The Board is responsible for ensuring new nominees fully understand the time commitment required of them as a director. Directors are also encouraged and afforded the opportunity to visit the Company’s operations and receive detailed briefings from management. As part of the continuing education of directors, management makes regular presentations to the Board on specific aspects of the Company’s business. The Company also encourages directors to attend, at the Company’s expense, conferences, seminars or courses

Management Information Circular 47

on subjects related to their role on the Board or when appropriate, Board committees, including maintaining relevant professional designations.

Board Assessment

The entire Board evaluates the effectiveness of the Board, its committees and individual directors on an annual basis. To facilitate this evaluation, the Board conducts a detailed annual self-assessment survey of its performance, consisting of a review of its mandate, the performance of each Board committee and the performance of individual directors. The detailed survey includes a both a self and peer review process for each individual director, both with respect to the Board and its committees.

Assessment of individual Board member effectiveness is the principal criteria for retention. Accordingly, therefore the Company does not have a formal term limit retirement age for directors.

Board and Executive Management Succession Planning

In 2017, the CGNC commenced a five-year executive management succession, training and coaching program. The program which is facilitated by an experienced outside consultant, is designed to ensure adequate succession and contingency planning is in place for each of the C-suite roles, namely the CEO, CFO and COO. The program aims to both build capacity among internally identified candidates; as well, evaluate the skillset and experiences required for these key roles going forward. Succession planning is discussed at each meeting of the CGNC.

Director Education

On November 8, 2016, the Board adopted a Director Education Policy. The Director Education Policy, provides, among other things, reimbursement of expenses for director courses and self-study. A number of our directors hold the ICD.D designation from the Institute of Corporate Directors and in connection with the same are required to maintain a certain minimum number of professional education hours. The directors that are part of the Technical and Sustainability Committee, attended site visits on the following dates:

• May 24, 2017 to May 26, 2017 – Young-Davidson Mine, Ontario, Canada, and

• October 16, 2017 to October 20, 2017 – Mulatos Mine, Sonora, Mexico.

The Board has scheduled a full Board meeting to be held at the Island Gold Mine in the second half of 2018. A number of directors also attended with management at Island Gold in November, 2017.

Skills and Areas of Expertise

The CGNC, through the nomination and recruitment process as well as continuing education initiatives, seeks to ensure that the collective skill set of our directors, including their business expertise and experience, meets the needs of the Company. The CGNC has developed a Skills Matrix setting out the skills and experience that are viewed as integral to Board effectiveness, which will be used to assess Board composition, to help with the Board’s ongoing development and to assist in recruiting new directors in the future. The following table shows the number of directors who have particular expertise according to the self-assessments which each of them completed in early 2018.

Management Information Circular 48

Board and Management Diversity

The Board of Directors is currently comprised of 11% (1 of 9) women and the executive team is comprised of 17% (2 of 12) women. If the proposed nominees for election as directors are all elected, the Board will be comprised 22% women (2 out of 9).

Diversity, including specifically gender diversity, promotes the inclusion of different perspectives, ideas and experiences, and ensures that Alamos has the opportunity to benefit from all available talent. The promotion of diversity makes business sense, helps maintain a competitive advantage, improves corporate governance and ensures that the Company better reflects its constituents. Diversity at the Company is also about the commitment to equality and treating all individuals with respect while also recognizing the value of diversity within our organization as a key value driver.

In 2016, the Board adopted a written diversity policy which requires the Board and relevant Board committees to put forward a diverse group of candidates, including women candidates, and shall, when identifying candidates to nominate for election to the Board or appointment as management:

• Consider candidates who are highly qualified based on business expertise, functional experience, knowledge, personal skills and character against objective criteria, having due regard to the benefits of diversity, the needs of the Board, the Company’s current and future plans and objectives, as well as anticipated regulatory developments; (b) consider criteria that promote diversity, including with regard to gender, ethnicity, age, national origin, disability, and sexual orientation or any other area of potential difference;

• Considers the level of representation of women on the Board and in Officer positions along with other markers of diversity when making recommendations for nominees to the Board or for appointment as management and in general with regard to succession planning for the Board and management; and

• When required, engage qualified independent external advisors to assist the Board in conducting its search for candidates who meet the foregoing criteria.

Recognizing the need for considered and effective progression in respect of this Policy, success will be measured based on, among other things, the relative increase in diversity on the Board and in senior management positions over a multi-year period, as well the ongoing implementation of specific processes designed to foster the progression of and attract diverse candidates to be considered for nomination or appointment.

In 2018, there is one female candidate that will stand for re-election and one new female director candidate. No changes or additions to senior executive management or the Board were made or are currently being proposed for 2018. The Board has set the following gender diversity goals: As new directors are added, either due to retirement or expansion of the Board, the Board has committed to

Management Information Circular 49

50% of new director positions being filled with women candidates, with the ultimate objective of having no less than 33% of the Board comprised of women directors.

We believe this ongoing process will identify and foster the development of suitable candidates for nominations or appointment and over time will achieve gender diversity in an orderly and rational manner. We believe the foregoing also achieves the Board’s objective of making the Board better. The Vice President, Human Resources, along with the CGNC will periodically and at a minimum, annually, report to the Board on the implementation of the Company’s Diversity Policy.

Director Tenure

Rather than instituting a policy of defining fixed terms or mandatory retirement for directors, the Board will continue working on making the Board better through an ongoing review of the performance of the Board as a whole; as well, individual director performance. The following chart lists each of our current directors (and nominees for the Board) and when they were first appointed to the Board of the Company (or each of the Company’s two predecessor companies). The Board believes the below data suggests an appropriate degree of turnover and renewal while maintaining Board continuity and knowledge.

Strategic Planning

Management is responsible for developing and recommending the Company’s strategic plan for approval by the Board each year. The Board discusses strategic planning and related issues at each of its quarterly meetings, including the risks associated with various strategic alternatives. Management carries out periodic reviews of the Company’s strategic plan, based on its progress, and recommends annual corporate objectives, a budget and a long-term financial plan and presents these to the Board for approval. Management also makes presentations to the Board on strategic issues as needed throughout the year.

Risk Management

The Board, in accordance with its mandate, is responsible for the Company’s management of risk. The Alamos Risk Management Program has been developed by the Board as a systematic approach to identifying, assessing, reporting and managing significant risks facing the Company, both at the corporate and operations level. The program helps the Board identify and manage threats to achievement of the Company’s corporate objectives. The Board has delegated the responsibility for overseeing and monitoring, from a process standpoint, the Risk Management Program to the Risk Committee, which is a senior management committee. This committee includes the President and Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Operating Officer, Vice President, General Counsel (Chair), Vice President, Sustainability and External Affairs, Vice President, Development and Construction, Vice President, Human Resources and Vice President, Finance. The Risk Committee is responsible for ensuring an effective risk management process is in place, and for monitoring and reporting to the Board on the overall risk profile of the Company. The Risk Committee reports to the Audit Committee and the Board each quarter.

Committees of the Board

There are currently four standing committees of the Board: the CGNC, the Audit Committee, the HRC and the Technical and Sustainability Committee. Committee members are appointed by and comprised exclusively of independent members of the Board. The roles and responsibilities of each Committee are set out in its Board-approved written charter, which charter is reviewed annually by the relevant committee and the CGNC.

Management Information Circular 50

The mandates of the committees ensure, collectively, that the Board fulfills its duties and responsibilities and that there is effective supervision and direction of management in the conduct of the affairs of the Company. The Chair of a committee is selected by the Board from among the members of the relevant committee (with the exception of the Audit Committee, which designates its own Chair annually). Each committee charter includes a description of the role and responsibilities of the Chair of the committee, which include presiding over committee meetings, reporting to the Board with respect to the activities of the committee, and providing leadership to the committee and assisting it in reviewing and monitoring its responsibilities set out in its charter.

All committees of the Board hold an in-camera session without management present following each of its meetings. Each committee’s mandate grants it authority to retain and terminate legal or other advisors to the committee. A copy of the charter for each of the committees is posted on Alamos’ website at www.alamosgold.com.

With respect to the composition of the Board, its committees and the appointment of the CEO, the CGNC shall on an annual basis (or more frequently if required) assess the size and composition of the Board and Board committees, the competencies and skills required to enable the Board and Board committees to properly discharge their responsibilities, and report the results of that assessment to the Board.

The CGNC shall also assess the effectiveness of the Board as a whole and each Board committee, and assess whether there is a lack of competencies and skills on the Board or with respect to individual directors of the Company which results in the Board not being effective, and report the results of that assessment to the Board.

The CGNC oversees the process of identifying and recruiting new candidates for election or appointment as directors of the Company, including assessing the competencies and skills of identified individuals and reporting the results of that assessment to the Board; overseeing the process of identifying and recruiting new candidates for election or appointment as directors of the Company, including assessing the competencies and skills of identified individuals and reporting the results of that assessment to the Board.

The CGNC, if/when required, will oversee the process of identifying and recruiting new candidates for appointment as CEO.

Management Information Circular 51

Human Resources Committee

Members:            Mark Daniel (Chair), David Gower, Patrick Downey and Kenneth Stowe.

All Members Independent:        Yes

Number of Meetings:        3 meetings

Attendance:            100%

The mandate of the HRC is to assist the Board in monitoring, reviewing and approving Alamos’ compensation policies and practices, including specifically the establishment of corporate goals and objectives relevant to compensation of the CEO; evaluation of the CEO’s performance and determination of the CEO’s compensation; in consultation with the CEO, establishment of corporate and personal performance objectives for executive officers of the Company other than the CEO; in consultation with the CEO, evaluation of performance of, and determination of compensation for, senior executives other than the CEO; compensation of the directors of the Company and oversight of key compensation policies including incentive and equity‐based compensation plans of the Company.

The process by which the HRC determines the compensation for the issuer’s directors and officers includes setting annual performance objectives, evaluation of such performance, annual reviews of CEO, executive management and director compensation. For a detailed description of how compensation was determined see the “Report on Executive Compensation”.

The charter of the HRC grants it authority to retain and terminate any compensation consultant to assist in reviewing compensation matters, including sole authority to approve the fees and other terms of retention of such consultants. For the year 2017, the following advisory services were retained:

Services	Associated Fees
2017 Executive Compensation-related Fees 1.    Hugessen Consulting Inc. a.    Reviewed and provided advice regarding pay peer group, executive and director compensation benchmarking; and b.    Conducted an independent review of Company performance and prepared pay-for-performance graphics for inclusion in the 2017 Compensation, Disclosure & Analysis.	CAD$42,169
2.    Willis Towers Watson{1) a.    Management retained Willis Towers Watson in early 2018 to provide compensation advice and other related services. Willis Towers Watson provided the following services in respect of fiscal year 2017. •    Analyzed the performance of Alamos compared to our performance peer group and other comparator groups; •    Assisted in reviewing the market compensation levels for the CEO, NEOs and other senior executives; and •    Reviewed and commented on the management information circular.	CAD$31,534

(1) Reported Associated Fees may be estimates given billing occurs after the services have been provided and/or may be those fees billed in the respective year and also includes HST.

Hugessen Consulting Inc. did not provide any services to the Company or management other than, or in addition to, the services described above. Hugessen Consulting was first retained by the Company in 2012. The HRC must pre-approve other services provided by the compensation consultants at the request of management.

The Company participated in the Equilar Top 25 Survey in 2017.

The HRC holds certain risk management responsibilities in respect of those risks within its area of focus. The Board strives to ensure that the members of the HRC have the skills and experience required to make decisions on whether the Company’s compensation policies and practices are consistent with its risk profile. The HRC avoids compensation policies which encourage excessive risk taking, such as compensation policies that allow pay out before the risks associated with the performance are likely to materialize, and policies that do not include regulatory compliance and risk management as part of their performance metrics. In the HRC’s view, compensation outcomes must be symmetric with risk outcomes. Variable compensation for senior executives is considered more risk-aligned when it is deferred. The HRC is also sensitive to the possible reputational damage that could be suffered by the organization where executives are not compensated in a manner that is consistent with the objectives of the Alamos executive compensation program or that is otherwise not in the best interests of the Company and its stakeholders. Other mechanisms used to mitigate executive compensation risks include the Company’s Claw-back Policy and Minimum Equity Ownership Policy.

SCHEDULE “A”

Board of Directors Mandate

The Board of Directors (the Board”) of Alamos Gold Inc. (the “Company”) is responsible for the stewardship of the business and affairs of the Company. The Board seeks to discharge this responsibility by reviewing, discussing and approving the Company’s strategic plans, annual budgets and significant decisions and transactions as well as by overseeing the senior officers of the Company in their management of its day-to-day business and affairs. The Board’s primary role is to oversee corporate performance and assure itself of the quality, integrity, depth and continuity of management so that the Company is able to successfully execute its strategic plans and complete its corporate objectives. The composition, responsibilities, and authority of the Board are set out in this Mandate.

This Mandate and the Articles of the Company and such other procedures, not inconsistent therewith, as the Board may adopt from time to time, shall govern the meetings and procedures of the Board.

1.    Composition

1.1 The directors of the Company (“Directors”) should have a mix of competencies and skills necessary to enable the Board and Board committees to properly discharge their responsibilities.

1.2 The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee will annually (and more frequently, if appropriate) recommend candidates to the Board for election or appointment as Directors, taking into account the Board’s conclusions with respect to the appropriate size and composition of the Board and Board committees, the competencies and skills required to enable the Board and Board Committees to properly discharge their responsibilities, and the competencies and skills of the current Board.

1.3 The Board approves the final choice of candidates.

1.4 The shareholders of the Company elect the Directors annually.

If the Chair is not independent, the Board will designate one of the independent Directors as the Lead Director to facilitate the functioning of the Board independently of management of the Company.
