FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This presentation contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, included in this presentation that address activities, events or developments that Antero Resources Corporation and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company” or “Antero”) expects, believes or anticipates will or may occur in the future are forward-looking statements. The words “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “intend,” “estimate,” “project,” “foresee,” “should,” “would,” “could,” or other similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. However, the absence of these words does not mean that the statements are not forward-looking. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, forward-looking statements contained in this presentation specifically include estimates of the Company’s reserves, expectations of plans, strategies, objectives and anticipated financial and operating results of the Company, including as to the Company’s drilling program, production, hedging activities, capital expenditure levels and other guidance included in this presentation. These statements are based on certain assumptions made by the Company based on management’s experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions, anticipated future developments and other factors believed to be appropriate. Such statements are subject to a number of assumptions, risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the control of the Company, which may cause actual results to differ materially from those implied or expressed by the forward-looking statements. These include the factors discussed or referenced in the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333 – 189284) (the “Registration Statement”) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and in the Company’s subsequent filings with the SEC.

The Company cautions you that these forward-looking statements are subject to all of the risks and uncertainties, most of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control, incident to the exploration for and development, production, gathering and sale of natural gas and oil. These risks include, but are not limited to, commodity price volatility, inflation, lack of availability of drilling and production equipment and services, environmental risks, drilling and other operating risks, regulatory changes, the uncertainty inherent in estimating natural gas and oil reserves and in projecting future rates of production, cash flow and access to capital, the timing of development expenditures, and the other risks described under the heading “Risk Factors” in the Registration Statement and in the Company’s subsequent filings with the SEC.

Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made and the Company undertakes no obligation to correct or update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by applicable law.

Several regional anticlines in core area− Predictable “layer cake” geology− No faults at Marcellus level

• Over 1.3 million feet (250 miles) drilled horizontally without crossing a fault

− 3-D seismic not required to guide horizontal wells

Regional East-West seismic line shows gentle structure at Marcellus level

Allegheny Front and complex structure located many miles east of core area

Antero has almost four years of production, and almost 200 operated horizontal wells, to support its 1.5 Bcf / 1,000’ of lateral type curve– DeGolyer & MacNaughton (D&M), Antero’s third-party reserve auditor, fully supports this type curve

Average 24-hour peak rate (IP) of 14.0 MMcf/d Lack of faulting and contiguous acreage position allows for drilling of long laterals− Drives down costs per 1,000’ of lateral resulting in best-in-class development costs

Keys to Execution

Pad Impact Mitigation Closed loop mud system – no mud pits Protective liners or mats on all well pads in addition to berms

Green Completion Units All Antero well completions use green completion units for completion flowback,

essentially eliminating methane emissions (full compliance with EPA 2015requirements)

Central Water System& Water Recycling

Numerous sources of water – building central water system to source water forcompletion

Antero recycles over 95% of its flowback water with the remainder injected into disposal wells – no discharge to water treatment plants in West Virginia

Natural Gas Powered Drilling Rigs

Four of Antero’s contracted drilling rigs are running on natural gas and the majority of its rigs should run on natural gas by year-end 2013

Natural Gas Vehicles (NGV)

Antero supported the first natural gas fueling station in West Virginia which recently opened

Antero has a dozen NGV trucks and plans to continue to convert its truck fleet to NGV

Safety & Environmental

Five company safety representatives and 40 safety consultants cover all material field operations 24/7 including drilling, completion, construction and pipelining

10-person company environmental staff plus outside consultants monitor all operations and perform baseline water well testing

CONSIDERABLE RESERVE BASE WITH ETHANE OPTIONALITY 26 year proved reserve life from current production annualized Reserve base provides significant exposure to liquids-rich projects

– 3P reserves of over 1.6 BBbl of NGLs and condensate in ethane recovery mode; 31% liquids

1. Ethane rejection occurs when ethane is left in the wellhead gas stream as the gas is processed, rather than being separated out and sold as a liquid after fractionation. When ethane is left in the gas stream, the BTU content of the residue gas at the outlet of the processing plant is higher. Producers will elect to “reject” ethane when the price received for the higher BTU residue gas is greater than the price received for the ethane being sold as a liquid after fractionation. When ethane is recovered, the BTU content of the residue gas is lower, but a producer is then able to recover the value of the ethane sold as a separate NGL product.

CAUTIONARY NOTE

The SEC permits oil and gas companies, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose only proved, probable and possible reserve estimates (collectively, “3P”). Antero has provided internally generated estimates for proved, probable and possible reserves in this presentation in accordance with SEC guidelines and definitions. The estimates of proved, probable and possible reserves as of June 30, 2013 included in this presentation have been audited by Antero’s third-party engineers. Unless otherwise noted, reserve estimates are as of June 30, 2013, assuming ethane rejection and strip pricing.

Actual quantities that may be ultimately recovered from Antero’s interests may differ substantially from the estimates in this presentation. Factors affecting ultimate recovery include the scope of Antero’s ongoing drilling program, which will be directly affected by commodity prices, the availability of capital, drilling and production costs, availability of drilling services and equipment, drilling results, lease expirations, transportation constraints, regulatory approvals and other factors; and actual drilling results, including geological and mechanical factors affecting recovery rates.

In this presentation:

“3P reserves” refer to Antero’s estimated aggregate proved, probable and possible reserves as of June 30, 2013. The SEC prohibits companies from aggregating proved, probable and possible reserves in filings with the SEC due to the different levels of certainty associated with each reserve category.

“EUR,” or “Estimated Ultimate Recovery,” refers to Antero’s internal estimates of per well hydrocarbon quantities that may be potentially recovered from a hypothetical future well completed as a producer in the area.
