FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENT

Certain statements contained herein may constitute forward-looking statements (or “forward-looking information”) and are made pursuant to the “safe harbour” provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation

Reform Act of 1995 and Canadian securities laws. Forward-looking statements are statements which relate to future events. Such statements include estimates, forecasts and statements with respect to, among other things,

business and financial prospects, financial multiples, accretion estimates, estimated future production and cash costs, future trends, plans, strategies, objectives and expectations, including with respect to costs, capital

requirements, availability of financing, production, exploration and reserves and resources, projected production from the San Francisco Mine, the Ana Paula Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA), including estimated internal

rate of return and projected production, exploitation activities and potential and future operations. Information inferred from the interpretation of drilling results and information concerning mineral resource estimates may

also be deemed to be forward-looking statements, as it constitutes a prediction of what might be found to be present when, and if, a project is actually developed. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by

terminology such as “may”, “should”, “expects”, “plans”, “anticipates”, “believes”, “estimates”, “predicts”, “potential”, or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology.

These forward-looking statements are based on a number of assumptions, including assumptions regarding the value of Alio Gold’s assets; the successful completion of development projects, planned expansions or other

projects within the timelines anticipated and at anticipated production levels; the accuracy of reserve and resource, grade, mine life, cash cost, NPV and IRR estimates and other assumptions, projections and estimates made in

the technical reports for San Francisco and Ana Paula; that mineral resources can be developed as planned; interest and exchange rates; that required financing will be obtained; general economic conditions; that labour

disputes, flooding, ground instability, fire, failure of plant, equipment or processes to operate as anticipated and other risks of the mining industry will not be encountered; the price of gold, silver and other metals; competitive

conditions in the mining industry; title to mineral properties; and changes in laws, rules and regulations applicable to Alio Gold.

Although management of Alio Gold believes that the assumptions made and the expectations represented by such statements are reasonable, there can be no assurance that a forward-looking statement herein will prove to be

accurate. Actual results and developments may differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements contained herein and even if such actual results and developments are realized or

substantially realized, there can be no assurance that they will have the expected consequences or effects. Factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations include changes in market

conditions; actual results being materially different than reserve and resource, grade, mine life, NPV, IRR and cash cost estimates and the other projections and estimates made in the technical reports for San Francisco and Ana

Paula; variations in grade or recovery rates; risks relating to international operations; fluctuations in gold, silver and other metal prices and currency exchange rates; failure to obtain required financing; inability to successfully

complete development projects, planned expansions or other projects within the timelines anticipated; natural disasters; adverse changes to general economic conditions or applicable laws, rules and regulations; changes in

project parameters; the possibility of project cost overruns or unanticipated costs and expenses; labour disputes, flooding, ground instability, fire and other risks of the mining industry; failure of plant, equipment or processes to

operate as anticipated; the risk of an undiscovered defect in title or other adverse claim; and the risk that results of exploration activities will be different than anticipated.

Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking information due to its inherent uncertainty. Except as required by applicable law, Alio Gold does not intend to update any forward-looking statements toconform these statements to actual results.

All figures presented throughout this document are in US$ unless otherwise specified.

IMPROVING THE ECONOMICS AT ANA PAULA

BENEFITS OF UNDERGROUND COMPONENT IN DEFINITIVE FEASIBILITY STUDY

• Increase production to fill the mill• Mill previously operated at 6,000tpd; geometry of the proposed pit limits ore

production to 5,000tpd

• Additional ore from underground could enhance production profile and unit costs

• Reduce strip ratio• Mining of proposed open pit is done in three distinct phases with phase 3 requiring

significant pushback of the pit walls to allow deeper mining from surface

• Potential to mine phase 3 more efficiently from underground

• Eliminate additional surface tailings facilities for the tailings from the ambient oxidation process (“AOX”)

• Tailings from AOX process could be stored underground as back-fill

• Inert flotation tailings could be stored on surface in an unlined tailings storage facility

APPENDIX C – FOOTNOTES

18

1. Non-GAAP Measure: All-in sustaining cost per gold ounce

The Company has adopted an all-in sustaining cost per ounce on a by-product basis performance measure which is calculated based on the guidance note issued by the World Gold Council. Management uses this information as an additional measure to evaluate the Company’s performance and ability to generate cash.

All-in sustaining costs on a by-product basis include total production cash costs, corporate and administrative expenses, sustaining capital expenditures and accretion for site reclamation and closure costs. These reclamation and closure costs represent the gradual unwinding of the discounted liability to rehabilitate the area around the Mine at the end of the mine life. The Company believes this measure to be representative of the total costs associated with producing gold; however, this performance measure has no standardized meaning. As such, there are likely to be differences in the method of computation when compared to similar measures presented by other issuers.

Accordingly, it is intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Refer to Alio Gold’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) for the year ended December 31, 2017, the quarter ended September 30, 2017, June 30, 2017 and March 31, 2017 for a reconciliation of the all-in sustaining cost per gold ounce on a by-product basis to the consolidated financial statements.

2. Non-GAAP Measure: Cash cost per gold ounce and cash cost per gold ounce on a by-product basis

Cash cost per gold ounce and cash cost per gold ounce on a by-product basis are non-GAAP performance measures that management uses to assess the Company’s performance and its expected future performance. The Company has included the non-GAAP performance measures of cash cost per gold ounce and cash cost per gold ounce on a by-product basis throughout this document. In the gold mining industry, these are common performance measures but they do not have any standardized meaning. As such, they are unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers.

Management believes that, in addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, certain investors use this information to evaluate the Company’s performance and ability to generate cash flow. Accordingly, presentation of these measures is to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.

APPENDIX C – FOOTNOTES (cont’d)

19

The cash cost per gold ounce is calculated by dividing the operating production costs by the total number of gold ounces sold. The cash cost per gold ounce on a by-product basis is calculated by deducting the by-product silver credits per gold ounce sold from the cash cost per gold ounce. For a reconciliation of the cash cost per gold ounce and cash cost per gold ounce on a by-product basis to the consolidated financial statements please refer to Alio Gold’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) for the year ended December 31, 2017, the quarter ended September 30, 2017, June 30, 2017 and March 31, 2017.

3. Guidance projections used in this document (“Guidance”) are considered “forward-looking statements” and represent management’s good faith estimates or expectations of future production results as of the date hereof. Guidance is based upon certain assumptions, including, but not limited to, metal prices, oil prices, certain exchange rates and other assumptions. 2018 guidance assumes Au=$1,250/oz, Ag=$18.00oz, $1.30 CAD/USD, 18.00 MXN/USD. Such assumptions may prove to be incorrect and actual results may differ materially from those anticipated. Consequently, Guidance cannot be guaranteed. As such, investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance upon Guidance and forward-looking statements as there can be no assurance that the plans, assumptions or expectations upon which they are placed will occur.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING TECHNICAL DISCLOSURE

28

For more information on the San Francisco Mine mineral reserves and mineral resources, see the San Francisco technical report entitled “NI 43-101 F1 Technical Report Updated Resources and Reserves and Mine Plan for the

San Francisco Gold Project, Sonora, Mexico”, dated May 25, 2017, which is available on Alio Gold’s SEDAR profile at www.sedar.com. Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.

For more information on the Ana Paula mineral reserves and mineral resources, see the Ana Paula technical report entitled “NI 43-101 Preliminary Feasibility Study, Guerrero, Mexico”, dated May 16, 2017, which is available on

Alio Gold’s SEDAR profile at www.sedar.com. Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.

Cautionary Note to United States Investors

Alio Gold is subject to the reporting requirements of the applicable Canadian securities laws, and as a result reports its mineral reserves and resources according to Canadian standards. Canadian reporting requirements for

disclosure of mineral properties are governed by National Instrument 43-101 (“NI 43-101”). The definitions of NI 43-101 are adopted from those given by the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum. U.S.

reporting requirements are governed by Industry Guide 7 (“Guide 7”) of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). These reporting standards have similar goals in terms of conveying an appropriate level of

confidence in the disclosures being reported, but embody different approaches and definitions. For example, under Guide 7, mineralization may not be classified as a “reserve” unless the determination has been made that the

mineralization could be economically and legally produced or extracted at the time the reserve determination is made. In particular, Alio Gold reports “resources” in accordance with NI 43-101. While the terms “Mineral

Resource”, “Measured Mineral Resource”, “Indicated Mineral Resource” and “Inferred Mineral Resource” are recognized and required by Canadian securities laws, they are not defined terms under Guide 7 and, generally, U.S.

companies are not permitted to report resources in documents filed with the SEC. As such, certain information contained in this presentation concerning descriptions of mineralization and resources under Canadian standards is

not comparable to similar information made public by U.S. companies subject to the reporting and disclosure requirements of the SEC. In addition, an Inferred Mineral Resource has a great amount of uncertainty as to its

existence and as to its economic and legal feasibility, and it cannot be assumed that all or any part of an Inferred Mineral Resource will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Under Canadian rules, estimates of Inferred Mineral

Resources may not form the basis of feasibility or other economic studies beyond Preliminary Economic Assessment. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of Measured or Indicated Resources will ever be converted into

Mineral Reserves, and it cannot be assumed that all or any part of an Inferred Mineral Resource exists, or is economically or legally mineable. In addition, the definitions of “Proven Mineral Reserves” and “Probable Mineral

Reserves” under NI 43-101 differ in certain respects from the standards of Guide 7.
