Alamos Gold Reports Fourth Quarter and Year-End 2023 Results

Solid Fourth Quarter Drives Record Annual Production, Revenue and Operating Cash Flow

Toronto, Ontario (February 21, 2024) - Alamos Gold Inc. (TSX:AGI; NYSE:AGI) (“Alamos” or the “Company”) today reported its financial results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2023.

“With the strong finish to the year, we delivered a record operational and financial performance in 2023. Production increased 15% to a record 529,300 ounces, achieving the top end of our increased full year guidance. Costs were also in line with annual guidance and decreased 4% from 2022 reflecting strong performances across our operations. With the record production, lower costs, and higher gold price we set a number of financial records in 2023. Revenue increased 25% to a record $1 billion, and cash flow from operations increased 44% to a record $519 million. We also generated $124 million of free cash flow while reinvesting in growth that will support higher levels of free cash flow in the years ahead,” said John A. McCluskey, President and Chief Executive Officer.

“This reinvestment in high-return growth continues to create long-term value. Global Mineral Reserves increased for the fifth consecutive year with grades also increasing driven by another year of exploration success. This included higher-grade additions at Island Gold and PDA, supporting longer-life, and more valuable assets. The growth at PDA will be incorporated into a development plan to be completed later this quarter that we expect will outline a significant mine life extension at Mulatos. The Phase 3+ Expansion at Island Gold continues to advance having achieved a significant milestone with the start of shaft sinking in December. The expansion remains on track to deliver significant production growth at substantially lower costs in 2026 and beyond.”

The Company’s objective is to operate a sustainable business model that supports growing returns to all stakeholders over the long-term, through growing production, expanding margins, and increasing profitability. This includes a balanced approach to capital allocation focused on generating strong ongoing free cash flow while re-investing in high-return internal growth opportunities, and supporting higher returns to shareholders.

2023 Year in Review

With the strong finish to the year, the Company delivered record operational and financial performance in 2023. This included record annual production of 529,300 ounces which drove record revenues of $1.0 billion and record operating cash flows of $472.7 million. Full year production was 15% higher than 2022 and achieved the high end of increased guidance. Costs were also in line with annual guidance. Reflecting the strong operational and financial performance, and balanced approach to growth, the Company generated consolidated free cash flow of $123.8 million in 2023 while investing in the Phase 3+ Expansion.

La Yaqui Grande continued to outperform, contributing to a 58% increase in production from the Mulatos District, at 22% lower costs. This exceeded annual production guidance, driving a substantial increase in mine-site free cash flow from Mulatos to $142.1 million. Young-Davidson delivered its third consecutive year of mine-site free cash flow in excess of $100 million and is well positioned to deliver similar levels of free cash flow over the long-term. Island Gold continued to perform well while self-funding the majority of the Phase 3+ Expansion capital. The expansion remains on track for completion in 2026 with significant progress made through 2023. All the major components of the shaft site infrastructure have now been completed, including the headframe and hoist house, which enabled the start of shaft sinking in December 2023.

Additionally, the Company delivered on a number of key catalysts, supporting ongoing value creation within its pipeline of growth projects. This included achieving a significant permitting milestone and completing an updated Feasibility Study on the Lynn Lake project, which outlined a larger, longer-life, low-cost operation with attractive economics and significant exploration upside. The Company also demonstrated another year of exploration success, most notably at Island Gold and Puerto Del Aire ("PDA") driving a further increase in high-grade Mineral Reserves and Resources. The increase in high-grade Mineral Reserves at PDA is being incorporated into a

TRADING SYMBOL: TSX:AGI NYSE:AGI

development plan to be completed during the first quarter of 2024 which is expected to outline a significant mine life extension at Mulatos.

As announced earlier this week, Global Mineral Reserves increased to 10.7 million ounces of gold (202 mt grading 1.65 g/t Au), a 2% increase from 2022, with a further 1% increase in grades. This marks the fifth consecutive year of growth in Mineral Reserves for a combined increase of 10% over that time frame. Grades have also increased 9% over that period as Mineral Reserves continue to grow both in size and quality. The increase in 2023 driven by higher-grade additions at Island Gold and PDA, as well as growth at Lynn Lake.

Island Gold's tremendous pace of growth continued in 2023 with an 18% increase in Mineral Reserves to 1.7 million ounces, and 16% increase in combined Mineral Reserves and Resources to 6.1 million ounces. PDA's Mineral Reserves increased 33% to 1.0 million ounces with grades increasing a further 16%. Both deposits remain open in multiple directions, highlighting the significant potential for this growth to continue. Reflecting the continued exploration success and growth potential, the Company has increased its 2024 exploration budget to the largest in its history.

2024 Outlook

The Company provided three-year production and operating guidance in January 2024, which outlined growing production at declining costs over the next three years. Refer to the Company’s January 10, 2024 guidance press release for a summary of the key assumptions and related risks associated with the comprehensive 2024 guidance and three-year production, cost and capital outlook. Gold production in 2024 is expected to range between 485,000 and 525,000 ounces, a 3% increase from the previous three-year guidance provided in January 2023 (based on the mid-point). Total cash costs and AISC are expected to be consistent with 2023.

The increased production guidance was driven by higher expected production from the Mulatos District through residual leaching of the Mulatos leach pad. La Yaqui Grande is expected to supply approximately 75% of Mulatos District production at a similar low-cost structure as 2023. The remaining production is expected to come from residual leaching of the main Mulatos leach pad which carries higher reported AISC, though with the majority of these costs previously incurred, the recovery of these ounces is expected to be very profitable from a cash flow perspective.

Production is expected to be slightly higher during the first half of 2024, with the recovery of ounces through residual leaching at Mulatos expected to decline through the year. First quarter production is expected to be between 123,000 and 133,000 ounces with total cash costs and AISC above the top end of annual guidance reflecting a larger proportion of production coming through residual leaching at Mulatos and slightly lower planned grades at Young-Davidson. Consistent with annual guidance, costs are expected to trend lower through the year reflecting declining rates of production from residual leaching at Mulatos.

Production is expected to increase 7% by 2026 to between 520,000 and 560,000 ounces, with AISC decreasing 11% to between $975 and $1,075 per ounce reflecting low-cost production growth from Island Gold with the completion of the Phase 3+ Expansion. The three year guidance excludes the higher grade PDA project which represents potential production upside at Mulatos as early as 2026. This upside is expected to be outlined in a development plan for PDA to be released during the first quarter of 2024. Looking beyond 2026, the Lynn Lake project is expected to support further potential growth as early as the second half of 2027.

Capital spending is expected to increase from 2023 reflecting inflation, higher capital at Island Gold and Lynn Lake, and an increased capitalized exploration budget. Capital spending on the Lynn Lake project is expected to more than double the amount spent in 2023. Spending at Lynn Lake will be focused on upgrades to site access and infrastructure, including early work on the power line upgrade, in advance of a construction decision anticipated in 2025. Additionally, a portion of the 2024 exploration program will be focused on converting Mineral Resources at the Burnt Timber and Linkwood satellite deposits into a smaller, higher quality Mineral Reserve. A study incorporating these deposits into the Lynn Lake project is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2024, and represents potential production and economic upside to the 2023 Feasibility Study.

Given the strong profitability of the Mulatos operation in 2023, the Company expects to pay significantly higher cash tax payments in Mexico in 2024, which includes the 2023 year-end tax payment due in the first quarter of approximately $40 million. Combined with an expected decrease in costs through the year, the Company expects stronger free cash flow starting in the second quarter of 2024.

The global exploration budget for 2024 is $62 million, a 19% increase from $52 million spent in 2023. The increase reflects expanded budgets across all key assets following up on broad-based exploration success in 2023. Island Gold and the Mulatos District account for approximately 60% of the total budget with $19 million planned for each asset. This is followed by $12 million at Young-Davidson, $9 million at Lynn Lake and $2 million at Golden Arrow.

The Company's liquidity position remains strong, ending the year with $224.8 million of cash and cash equivalents, $13.0 million in investments in equity securities, and no debt, an increase from $129.8 million at the end of 2022 reflecting strong free cash flow generation throughout the year. Additionally, the Company has a $500 million undrawn credit facility, providing total liquidity of $737.8 million.

TRADING SYMBOL: TSX:AGI NYSE:AGI

Underground mining rates averaged 7,475 tpd in the fourth quarter, higher than the prior year period but below annual guidance due to maintenance on the headframe ore bin apron feeder. For the full year, mining rates averaged 7,885 tpd, consistent with guidance. Grades mined averaged 2.39 g/t Au in the fourth quarter, a 16% increase from the third quarter and a 3% increase compared to the prior year period. Grades increased as planned, reflecting the mining of higher grade stopes that had been deferred from the third quarter. Grades averaged 2.20 g/t Au for the year, in line with guidance.

Milling rates averaged 7,877 tpd in the fourth quarter, exceeding the prior year period as well as mining rates, with surface stockpiles supplementing mill feed. Milling rates averaged 7,885 tpd for the full year, consistent with the prior year and annual guidance. Mill recoveries averaged 91% in the quarter and 90% for the full year, both in line with guidance.

Financial Review

Fourth quarter revenues of $94.8 million were 21% higher than the prior year period, resulting from a higher realized gold price and a 7% increase in ounces sold. Full year revenues of $355.3 million were 2% higher than the prior year, due to the higher realized gold price, offset by less ounces sold.

Cost of sales of $64.6 million in the fourth quarter were 4% higher than the prior year period, resulting from higher unit costs and higher tonnage processed. Underground mining costs were CAD $55 per tonne in the quarter, an increase from earlier in the year reflecting fewer tonnes mined, as well as inflationary pressures, primarily labour. Cost of sales of $248.2 million for the full year were in line with the comparable period.

Total cash costs were $920 per ounce in the fourth quarter and $938 per ounce for the full year. Mine-site AISC were $1,211 per ounce in the quarter and $1,208 per ounce for the full year. Both metrics were consistent with annual guidance in the fourth quarter and full year. Full year costs were higher than the comparative periods due to inflationary pressures and slightly lower grades processed.

Capital expenditures in the fourth quarter included $13.9 million of sustaining capital and $8.8 million of growth capital. Additionally, $1.3 million was invested in capitalized exploration in the quarter. Capital expenditures, inclusive of capitalized exploration, totaled $67.2 million for the full year, a 6% decrease from the prior year and in line with annual guidance.

Young-Davidson continues to demonstrate strong operational and financial consistency with mine-site free cash flow of $35.0 million in the fourth quarter, and a record $117.6 million for 2023. This marked the third consecutive year the operation has generated more than $100 million of mine-site free cash flow. With a 15-year Mineral Reserve life, Young-Davidson is well positioned to generate similar levels of free cash flow over the long-term.

Operational review

Island Gold produced 31,600 ounces in the fourth quarter of 2023, a 22% decrease from the prior year period, resulting from lower grades mined and processed, as planned. For the full year, Island Gold produced 131,400 ounces, achieving the mid-point of full year production guidance.

Underground mining rates averaged 1,249 tpd in the fourth quarter, exceeding annual guidance, and a 14% increase from the prior year period. Mining rates for the full year were in line with guidance. Grades mined averaged 8.96 g/t Au in the quarter, and 9.43 g/t Au for the full year, both consistent with annual guidance.

Mill throughput also exceeded guidance, averaging 1,266 tpd for the quarter. Mill throughput was lower than the prior year period, as the fourth quarter of 2022 included processing of approximately 5,800 tonnes of Island Gold stockpiled ore at the Young-Davidson mill. Mill recoveries averaged 98% in the fourth quarter and 97% for the full year, consistent with guidance.

Financial Review

Revenues of $60.0 million in the fourth quarter were 12% lower than the prior year period reflecting lower ounces sold, partly offset by higher realized gold prices. Revenues of $247.8 million for the full year were 5% higher than the prior year period primarily due to the higher realized gold prices.

13 | Alamos Gold Inc

TRADING SYMBOL: TSX:AGI NYSE:AGI

Cost of sales of $33.8 million in the fourth quarter was 4% lower than the prior year period, resulting from the lower production in the quarter. For the full year, cost of sales were $123.6 million, 3% higher than the prior year period, driven by inflationary pressures on mining and processing costs.

Total cash costs of $775 per ounce and mine-site AISC of $1,136 per ounce in the fourth quarter were both higher than the prior year period reflecting lower production with the lower grades mined, ongoing inflationary pressures, primarily labour, as well as non-recurring costs associated with the transition from contractor to owner development and production drilling, which was completed in the quarter. Total cash costs of $669 per ounce and mine-site AISC of $1,017 per ounce for the full year were higher than the comparable period, and slightly above annual guidance.

Total capital expenditures were $73.9 million in the fourth quarter, including $59.7 million of growth capital and $3.3 million of capitalized exploration. Growth capital spending remained focused on the Phase 3+ Expansion shaft site infrastructure. This included the commissioning of the shaft sinking plant, completion of buried services and grid power tie-in for the shaft site and upgraded voltage regulation facility. The Phase 3+ Expansion achieved a significant milestone during the quarter with the start of shaft sinking in December. Additionally, capital spending was focused on lateral development and other surface infrastructure. For the full year, capital spending totaled $233.1 million, inclusive of capitalized exploration of $11.1 million, with the majority related to construction activities on the Phase 3+ Expansion. Capital spending for the year was in line with annual guidance.

Mine-site free cash flow was negative $34.0 million in the fourth quarter and negative $68.2 million for the full year given the significant capital investment related to the Phase 3+ Expansion. At current gold prices, Island Gold is expected to continue funding the majority of the Phase 3+ Expansion capital. The operation is expected to generate significant free cash flow from 2026 onward with the completion of the expansion.

Mulatos District Operational Review

The Mulatos District produced 48,100 ounces in the fourth quarter, 2% lower than the prior year period, reflecting lower stacking rates with the end of mining in the main Mulatos open pit during the third quarter of 2023. Production

15 | Alamos Gold Inc

TRADING SYMBOL: TSX:AGI NYSE:AGI

for the full year totaled 212,800 ounces, exceeding the top end of annual guidance by 15%, driven by the strong performance from La Yaqui Grande.

La Yaqui Grande Operational Review

La Yaqui Grande produced 33,700 ounces in the fourth quarter, and 153,400 ounces for the full year, exceeding expectations, reflecting higher than planned mining rates and grades mined. Grades stacked averaged 1.64 g/t Au in the fourth quarter, and 1.55 g/t Au for the full year, both above annual guidance of 1.15 to 1.45 g/t Au, reflecting positive grade reconciliation. Stacking rates of 10,400 tpd in the fourth quarter were consistent with the third quarter and slightly above annual guidance. The recovery rate was 67% in the fourth quarter, lower than annual guidance, reflecting the timing of recoveries, with the highest grade ore stacked in December, which will be recovered in 2024. The full year recovery rate of 78% was slightly below guidance reflecting the above noted timing of higher grades stacked late in the year.

Mulatos Operational Review

Mulatos produced 14,400 ounces in the fourth quarter and 59,400 ounces for the full year. Production was lower than the prior year periods reflecting completion of mining from the El Salto portion of the pit in July. Stacking of remaining stockpiles was completed in the fourth quarter and residual leaching commenced in December 2023. The operation is expected to benefit from ongoing gold production at decreasing rates in 2024 through residual leaching of the leach pad.

Financial Review (Mulatos District)

Revenues of $99.8 million in the fourth quarter were 16% higher than the prior year period, reflecting higher realized gold prices. Revenues of $420.2 million for the full year, were 76% higher than the prior year, driven by significantly higher gold production and sales and the higher realized gold price.

Cost of sales of $68.3 million in the fourth quarter were 22% higher than in the prior year period due to a higher proportion of production from the main Mulatos operation, the stronger Mexican Peso, and ongoing inflationary pressures. For the full year, cost of sales of $265.9 million were 12% higher than the comparable period, due to the significant increase in production. On a per ounce basis, cost of sales were 31% lower than the prior year reflecting the greater contribution of low-cost ounces at La Yaqui Grande.

Total cash costs of $957 per ounce and mine-site AISC of $1,030 per ounce in the fourth quarter were higher than the prior year period due to a higher proportion of production from the main Mulatos operation, the stronger Mexican Peso, and ongoing inflationary pressures. Total cash costs for the full year were $883 per ounce, below annual guidance, driven by the outperformance of La Yaqui Grande with higher grades and stacking rates. Mine-site AISC of $967 per ounce for the full year were in line with annual guidance.

Total cash costs and mine-site AISC for the Mulatos District are expected to increase slightly in 2024 reflecting additional production from residual leaching of the main Mulatos leach pad, which also drove the increase in production guidance from a year ago. The ounces recovered through residual leaching carry higher reported mine-site AISC of approximately $1,850 per ounce. The majority of these costs were previously incurred and recorded in inventory. The cash component to recover these ounces in 2024 is expected to be approximately $800 per ounce providing stronger free cash flow than implied by the higher reportable costs.

Capital expenditures totaled $8.4 million in the fourth quarter, including sustaining capital of $1.8 million, and $5.5 million of capitalized exploration focused on drilling at PDA. For the full year, capital spending totaled $30.4 million, including $11.8 million of capitalized exploration. Total sustaining and growth capital spending was in line with guidance for the full year. Capitalized exploration was higher than initially budgeted, reflecting increased spending following up on continued exploration success at PDA.

The Mulatos District generated mine-site free cash flow of $27.4 million in the fourth quarter, and $142.1 million for the full year, driven by the high-margin production growth from La Yaqui Grande. Mulatos paid cash taxes of $8.4 million during 2023. Given the increased profitability of the operation, the Company expects to make significantly

Fourth Quarter 2023 Development Activities

Island Gold (Ontario, Canada)

Phase 3+ Expansion

On June 28, 2022, the Company reported results of the Phase 3+ Expansion Study (“P3+ Expansion Study”) conducted on its Island Gold mine, located in Ontario, Canada.

The Phase 3+ Expansion to 2,400 tpd from the current rate of 1,200 tpd will involve various infrastructure investments. These include the installation of a shaft, paste plant, expansion of the mill as well as accelerated development to support the higher mining rates. Following the completion of the expansion in 2026, the operation will transition from trucking ore and waste up the ramp to skipping ore and waste to surface through the new shaft infrastructure, driving production higher and costs significantly lower.

Construction continued through the fourth quarter of 2023, including the start of shaft sinking in December, which was a significant milestone for the project. Further details on progress to the end of the year are summarized below:

•Completed the grid power tie-in for the shaft site and upgraded voltage regulation facility

•Commissioned the shaft sinking plant

•Mechanical and electrical outfitting for hoist house and headframe substantially complete

•Completed structural steel, roofing, interior and exterior cladding for the warehouse

•Completed buried services required for shaft sink, with first blast occurring in December

•Paste plant detailed engineering 75% complete; issuance of long lead time equipment procurement packages is ongoing with construction activities expected to begin in the second half of 2024

•Mill expansion basic engineering completed, and detailed engineering commenced in December with overall engineering being 40% complete. Issuance of long lead time equipment procurement packages is ongoing with construction activities on the mill expansion expected to commence in the second quarter of 2024

•Advanced lateral development to support higher mining rates with the Phase 3+ Expansion

The Phase 3+ Expansion remains on schedule to be completed during the first half of 2026. During the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company spent $59.7 million on the Phase 3+ Expansion and capital development. As of December 31, 2023, 51% of the total initial growth capital of $756 million has been spent and committed on the project. Capital spending is tracking well for work completed to date; however, continuing labour cost pressures may impact future project costs. Progress on the Expansion is detailed as follows:

Growth capital spending at Island Gold on the Phase 3+ Expansion is expected to be between $210 million and $230 million in 2024. Capital spending is expected to remain at similar levels in 2025 and then drop considerably in 2026 once the expansion is completed during the first half of 2026.

Shaft site area - February 2024

Lynn Lake (Manitoba, Canada)

In March 2023, the Company achieved a significant permitting milestone for the Lynn Lake project with a positive Decision Statement issued by the Department of Environment and Climate Change Canada based on the completed Federal Environmental Impact Statement ("EIS"), and Environment Act Licenses issued by the Province of Manitoba. Additionally, during the second quarter, the Company finalized an Impact Benefit Agreement and participated in a signing ceremony with Marcel Colomb First Nation, the most proximate First Nation to the project. As previously disclosed, the Mathias Colomb Cree Nation has brought an application for judicial review of the Decision Statement issued by the Department of Environment and Climate Change and an internal appeal of the Environment Act Licenses issued by the Province of Manitoba. At this time, the application and appeal are not expected to impact Lynn Lake project timelines. The Company continues to actively engage with the Mathias Colomb Cree Nation during this period.

On August 2, 2023, the Company reported the results of an updated Feasibility Study ("2023 Study") conducted on the project which replaces the previous Feasibility Study completed in 2017 ("2017 Study"). The 2023 Study incorporates a 44% larger Mineral Reserve and 14% increase in milling rates to 8,000 tpd supporting a larger, longer-life, low-cost operation. The 2023 Study has been updated to reflect the current costing environment, as well as a significant amount of additional engineering, on-site geotechnical investigation work, and requirements outlined during the permitting process with the EIS granted in March.

2023 Study Highlights:

•Detailed engineering 75% complete; basic engineering 100% complete as of December 2023

•EIS approval and Provincial licenses received in March 2023 with requirements outlined through the permitting process incorporated into the 2023 Study

Attractive economics with significant long-term exploration upside potential

•After-tax net present value (“NPV”) (5%) of $428 million (base case gold price assumption of $1,675 per ounce and USD/CAD foreign exchange rate of $0.75:1); after-tax internal rate of return (“IRR”) of 17%

•After-tax NPV (5%) of $670 million, and an after-tax IRR of 22%, at current gold prices of approximately $1,950 per ounce

•Payback of less than four years at the base case gold price of $1,675 per ounce and less than three years at a $1,950 per ounce gold prices

Significant near-mine and regional exploration upside potential

•The Lynn Lake project encompasses most of the east-trending, 125 km long, Lynn Lake Greenstone Belt in northwestern Manitoba, with a total of 58,000 hectares of mineral tenure, representing significant exploration potential, including:

◦Gordon deposit: higher-grade gold mineralization extended outside of Mineral Reserves and Resources in the northeastern extent of the planned Gordon pit, in an area modeled as waste in the 2023 Study

◦Burnt Timber and Linkwood: potential for smaller, higher-grade Mineral Resource that could be trucked and processed at the planned MacLellan mill later in the mine life

TRADING SYMBOL: TSX:AGI NYSE:AGI

◦Regional targets: extensive pipeline of highly prospective exploration targets at various stages of exploration across the Lynn Lake greenstone belt. This includes the Maynard and Tulune targets where ongoing drilling continues to intersect gold mineralization. Both targets are within trucking distance of the MacLellan mill

Low Greenhouse Gas (“GHG”) emission intensity

•18% decrease in GHG emissions per ounce from the 2017 Study reflecting the incorporation of electric shovels and drills at MacLellan, and productivity improvements with the larger operation

•58% lower emissions per ounce produced than the industry average. The project will be connected to Manitoba’s electric grid, of which nearly all electricity is produced from clean, renewable power, supporting the company-wide target of a 30% reduction in absolute GHG emissions by 2030

Development spending (excluding exploration) was $3.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2023 on engineering to support the updated Feasibility Study. For the full year, development spending (excluding exploration) was $11.6 million.

Capital spending on the Lynn Lake project, excluding exploration, is expected to total $25 million in 2024. This is up from 2023 reflecting planned upgrades to the site access and infrastructure. With approval of the EIS received in March 2023, and the positive Feasibility Study completed in August 2023, the focus in 2024 will be on further de-risking and advancing the project ahead of an anticipated construction decision in 2025. This includes finishing detailed engineering, which is 75% complete, upgrading road access, and early work on the power line upgrade. The majority of the $25 million capital budget in 2024 is spending included as initial capital in the 2023 Feasibility Study.

With $224.8 million of cash as of December 31, 2023, no debt, strong ongoing free cash flow generation, and significant free cash flow growth expected from Island Gold in 2026 and beyond, the Company is well positioned to fund development of Lynn Lake internally.

Kirazlı (Çanakkale, Türkiye)

On October 14, 2019, the Company suspended all construction activities on its Kirazlı project following the Turkish government's failure to grant a routine renewal of the Company’s mining licenses, despite the Company having met all legal and regulatory requirements for their renewal. In October 2020, the Turkish government refused the renewal of the Company’s Forestry Permit. The Company had been granted approval of all permits required to construct Kirazlı including the Environmental Impact Assessment approval, Forestry Permit, and GSM (Business Opening and Operation) permit, and certain key permits for the nearby Ağı Dağı and Çamyurt Gold Mines. These permits were granted by the Turkish government after the project earned the support of the local communities and passed an extensive multi-year environmental review and community consultation process.

On April 20, 2021, the Company announced that its Netherlands wholly-owned subsidiaries Alamos Gold Holdings Coöperatief U.A, and Alamos Gold Holdings B.V. (the “Subsidiaries”) would be filing an investment treaty claim against the Republic of Türkiye for expropriation and unfair and inequitable treatment. The claim was filed under the Netherlands-Türkiye Bilateral Investment Treaty (the “Treaty”). Alamos Gold Holdings Coöperatief U.A. and Alamos Gold Holdings B.V. had their claim against the Republic of Türkiye registered on June 7, 2021 with the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (World Bank Group).

Bilateral investment treaties are agreements between countries to assist with the protection of investments. The Treaty establishes legal protections for investment between Türkiye and the Netherlands. The Subsidiaries directly own and control the Company’s Turkish assets. The Subsidiaries invoking their rights pursuant to the Treaty does not mean that they relinquish their rights to the Turkish project, or otherwise cease the Turkish operations. The Company will continue to work towards a constructive resolution with the Republic of Türkiye.

The Company incurred $1.3 million in the fourth quarter related to ongoing care and maintenance and arbitration costs to progress the Treaty claim, which was expensed. For the full year, the Company incurred $2.9 million.

Fourth Quarter 2023 Exploration Activities

Island Gold (Ontario, Canada)

Total exploration expenditures during the fourth quarter were $4.2 million, of which $3.3 million was capitalized. For 2023, exploration expenditures totaled $14.8 million, of which $11.1 million was capitalized, consistent with the annual budget. The focus of the 2023 exploration program was on defining new Mineral Reserves and Resources in proximity to existing production horizons and infrastructure through a more cost-effective expanded underground drilling program that will leverage existing underground infrastructure.

As announced earlier this week, the program was successful with high-grade Mineral Reserves and Resources added across all categories to now total 6.1 million ounces, a 16% increase from the end of 2022. This included an 18% increase in Mineral Reserves to 1.7 million ounces (5.2 mt grading 10.30 g/t Au), a 146% increase in Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources to 0.7 million ounces (2.6 mt grading 8.73 g/t Au) and a 4% increase in Inferred Mineral Resources to 3.7 million ounces (7.9 mt grading 14.58 g/t Au).

The majority of these high-grade Mineral Reserve and Resource additions were in proximity to existing production horizons and infrastructure. This included additions within the main Island Gold structure as well as within the hanging wall and footwall. Given their proximity to existing infrastructure, these ounces are expected to be low cost to develop and could be incorporated into the mine plan and mined within the next several years, further increasing the value of the operation.

A regional exploration program was also completed in 2023 with the focus on evaluating and advancing exploration targets outside the Island Gold Deposit on the 55,300 ha Island Gold property. The program was successful in defining high-grade mineralization at two targets near the Island Gold mine. This included the Pine Zone, located 4 km northeast of Island Gold, and the 88-60 Zone, located 7 km from Island Gold, in proximity to the historic Cline and Edwards mines (see press release dated November 9, 2023).

A total of 9,378 m of underground exploration drilling in 30 holes was completed in the fourth quarter. Additionally, a total of 9,481 m of underground delineation drilling was completed in 34 holes, focused on in-fill drilling to convert Mineral Resources to Mineral Reserves. For the full year, 157 holes totaling 39,110 m were completed as part of the underground exploration program, and 155 holes totaling 31,636 m as part of the underground delineation drilling program. A total of 139 m of underground exploration drift development was also completed during the fourth quarter, totaling 404 m as of year end.

As announced in the February 13, 2024 press release, underground exploration drilling continues to extend high-grade gold mineralization across the Island Gold Deposit within the main E1E and C-Zones, as well as several hanging wall and footwall structures in proximity to existing underground infrastructure.

Island Gold Main zone exploration highlights: high-grade mineralization extended outside of Mineral Reserves and Resources in the E1E and C-Zones. These zones are the main structures which host the majority of currently defined Mineral Reserves and Resources at Island Gold. Previously reported highlights include1:

•19.56 g/t Au (19.56 g/t cut) over 3.81 m (790-479-40).

Island Gold Hanging wall and Footwall exploration highlights: high-grade gold mineralization intersected within several recently defined hanging wall and footwall zones across the main Island Gold Deposit. These zones represent a significant opportunity to add near mine Mineral Reserves and Resources which would be low-cost to develop and produce given their proximity to existing infrastructure. This includes the NS1 Zone which was discovered early in 2023 and was being developed and mined by the end of the year. Previously reported highlights include1:

•Island West Hanging Wall Zones

B Zone

•29.33 g/t Au (23.89 g/t cut) over 6.93 m (790-479-34);

•52.31 g/t Au (15.13 g/t cut) over 2.06 m (945-624-32).

Other Hanging Wall and Footwall intersections: drilling continues to intersect high-grade mineralization in proximity to existing underground infrastructure in yet to be defined zones. These are part of more than 2,000 intersections above 3 g/t Au outside of existing Mineral Reserves and Resources in the hanging wall and footwall, highlighting the opportunity for significant near-mine additions as ongoing drilling further defines these areas. Previously reported highlights include2:

Footwall

Young-Davidson (Ontario, Canada)

Total exploration expenditures during the fourth quarter were $1.7 million of which $1.3 million was capitalized. For 2023, exploration spending totaled $8.0 million of which $5.1 million was capitalized, consistent with budget.

During the fourth quarter of 2023, two underground exploration drills completed 5,325 m in 12 holes from the 9220 West exploration drift and the 9025 East Footwall. Drilling is targeting syenite-hosted mineralization as well as continuing to test mineralization in the footwall sediments and in the hanging wall mafic-ultramafic stratigraphy. For the full year, a total of 23,205 m of mine exploration drilling was completed in 56 holes.

In addition, 7,052 m of surface drilling was completed in 21 holes in 2023, primarily focused on the MCM-target area, immediately east and adjacent to the Young-Davidson deposit.

Mulatos District (Sonora, Mexico)

During the fourth quarter, exploration spending at Mulatos totaled $6.0 million of which $5.5 million was capitalized. For 2023, exploration spending totaled $21.7 million of which $11.8 million was capitalized.

During the fourth quarter of 2023, exploration activities continued at PDA and the near-mine area with 15,937 m of drilling completed in 62 holes. Drilling in the fourth quarter focused on in-fill drilling the GAP-Victor portion of the Mineral Resource. The 2023 exploration program was successful in driving a 33% increase in Mineral Reserves at PDA to 1.0 million ounces (5.4 mt grading 5.61 g/t Au) with grades also increasing 16%. This growth in higher-grade Mineral Reserves will be incorporated into an updated development plan which is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2024.

The regional drilling program was paused during the fourth quarter to complete ground geophysical surveys in the Capulin and Cerro Pelon areas. Drilling at regional targets will resume in the first quarter of 2024.

For the full year, a total of 56,712 m of drilling was completed in 196 holes at PDA including 10 geotechnical holes totaling 2,221 m. A total of 25,459 m of drilling in 79 holes was also completed at several targets across the Mulatos District.

Lynn Lake (Manitoba, Canada)

Exploration spending totaled $0.7 million in the fourth quarter and $6.6 million for the full year, all of which was capitalized. The 2023 drilling campaign was completed by the end of the second quarter comprising 7,979 m of drilling in 29 holes. In the fourth quarter, exploration activities focused on interpretation of results from the 2023 drilling programs, and from the geological mapping, sampling and hand trenching programs completed in the second and third quarters of 2023. Targeting and planning was also completed in the fourth quarter, ahead of the planned 2024 infill drilling program at the Burnt Timber and Linkwood deposits.

Review of Fourth Quarter Financial Results

During the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company sold 129,005 ounces of gold for operating revenues of $254.6 million. This represented a 10% increase from the prior year period due to a higher realized gold price, offset by a 3% decrease in ounces sold.

24 | Alamos Gold Inc

TRADING SYMBOL: TSX:AGI NYSE:AGI

Cost of sales (which includes mining and processing costs, royalties, and amortization expense) were $166.7 million in the fourth quarter, 9% higher than the prior year period. Key drivers of changes to cost of sales as compared to the prior year period were as follows:

Mining and processing costs were $113.4 million, 7% higher than the prior year period. The increase primarily reflects the impact of continuing labour and other inflationary pressures on mining and processing costs across the operations. Inflationary pressures and operating costs remained in line with expectations in 2023. The impact of the stronger Mexican peso relative to the annual cost guidance was partly mitigated by the Company's hedge position.

Total cash costs of $900 per ounce and AISC of $1,233 per ounce were higher than the prior year period due to the continuing inflationary pressures on operating costs, and lower grades mined at Island Gold.

Royalty expense was $2.7 million in the quarter, slightly higher than the prior year period of $2.2 million due to the higher average realized gold price.

Amortization of $50.6 million, or $392 per ounce in the quarter was higher than the prior year period due to the larger production contribution from Young-Davidson which has a higher depletable cost base.

The Company recognized earnings from operations of $71.9 million in the fourth quarter, 17% higher than the prior year period, as a result of the higher realized gold price, and margin expansion, driven by low-cost production growth from La Yaqui Grande.

The Company reported net earnings of $47.1 million in the fourth quarter, compared to $40.6 million in the prior year period. Adjusted earnings1 in the fourth quarter were $49.2 million, or $0.12 per share, which included adjustments for unrealized net foreign exchange gains recorded within deferred taxes, and on net monetary assets and liabilities, resulting primarily from the strengthening of both the Canadian dollar and the Mexican peso, and a reduction in the non-cash fair value adjustments on the milestone payments related to the sale of the Esperanza project.

Review of 2023 Financial Results

During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company sold 526,258 ounces for record operating revenues of $1.0 billion, 25% higher than the prior year period, driven by increased production from La Yaqui Grande, and a higher average realized gold price.

Cost of sales (which includes mining and processing costs, royalties, and amortization expense) for the full year were $637.7 million, a 5% increase compared to the prior year. Cost of sales in the prior year were impacted by a net realizable value adjustment on the Mulatos heap leach inventory of $33.9 million. In addition to the prior year inventory adjustment, key drivers of cost of sales changes as compared to the prior year were as follows:

Mining and processing costs increased to $437.3 million from $394.4 million in the prior year. The increase primarily reflects a full year of operations at La Yaqui Grande in 2023, as well as the impact of labour and other inflation effects on mining and processing costs across the Company's operations. The impact of the stronger Mexican peso relative to the annual cost guidance was partly mitigated by the Company's hedge position on the Mexican peso.

Total cash costs of $850 per ounce and AISC of $1,160 per ounce for 2023 were both lower than the prior year, primarily reflecting the increased contribution of low cost production from La Yaqui Grande.

Royalty expense was $10.2 million, a 12% increase compared to $9.1 million in the prior year, due to the higher average realized gold price.

Amortization of $190.2 million was higher than the prior year of $171.5 million, driven by a 15% increase in ounces sold. Amortization of $361 per ounce was lower than the prior year amortization of $376 per ounce due to the increased contribution from La Yaqui Grande which has a lower depletable cost base.

The Company recognized earnings from operations of $318.1 million, a significant increase from $111.5 million in the prior year, driven by the Company's record production, and expanded margins. The prior year was also

25 | Alamos Gold Inc

TRADING SYMBOL: TSX:AGI NYSE:AGI

impacted by the net realizable value adjustments on the Mulatos heap leach inventory, as well as an impairment expense related to the sale of the Esperanza project of $38.2 million.

The Company reported net earnings of $210.0 million compared to $37.1 million in the prior year. The stronger net earnings in 2023 reflect the Company's record operating performance and margin expansion. The prior year was also impacted by the net realizable value adjustment on the Mulatos heap leach inventory, and the impairment expense on the sale of the Esperanza project. On an adjusted basis1, earnings for 2023 were $208.4 million, or $0.53 per share, which included adjustments for unrealized foreign exchange gains recorded in deferred taxes of $16.3 million and other losses, net of tax, of $16.6 million.

Cautionary Note to U.S. Investors Concerning Measured, Indicated and Inferred Resources

Measured, Indicated and Inferred Resources: All resource and reserve estimates included in this press release and documents referenced in this press release have been prepared in accordance with Canadian National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101") and the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (the "CIM") - CIM Definition Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves, adopted by the CIM Council, as amended (the "CIM Standards"). NI 43-101 is a rule developed by the Canadian Securities Administrators, which established standards for all public disclosure an issuer makes of scientific and technical information concerning mineral projects. Mining disclosure in the United States was previously required to comply with SEC Industry Guide 7 (“SEC Industry Guide 7”) under the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) has adopted final rules, to replace SEC Industry Guide 7 with new mining disclosure rules under sub-part 1300 of Regulation S-K of the U.S. Securities Act (“Regulation S-K 1300”) which became mandatory for U.S. reporting companies beginning with the first fiscal year commencing on or after January 1, 2021. Under Regulation S-K 1300, the SEC now recognizes estimates of “Measured Mineral Resources”, “Indicated Mineral Resources” and “Inferred Mineral Resources”. In addition, the SEC has amended its definitions of “Proven Mineral Reserves” and “Probable Mineral Reserves” to be substantially similar to international standards.

28 | Alamos Gold Inc

TRADING SYMBOL: TSX:AGI NYSE:AGI

Investors are cautioned that while the above terms are “substantially similar” to CIM Definitions, there are differences in the definitions under Regulation S-K 1300 and the CIM Standards. Accordingly, there is no assurance any mineral reserves or mineral resources that the Company may report as “proven mineral reserves”, “probable mineral reserves”, “measured mineral resources”, “indicated mineral resources” and “inferred mineral resources” under NI 43-101 would be the same had the Company prepared the mineral reserve or mineral resource estimates under the standards adopted under Regulation S-K 1300. U.S. investors are also cautioned that while the SEC recognizes “measured mineral resources”, “indicated mineral resources” and “inferred mineral resources” under Regulation S-K 1300, investors should not assume that any part or all of the mineralization in these categories will ever be converted into a higher category of mineral resources or into mineral reserves. Mineralization described using these terms has a greater degree of uncertainty as to its existence and feasibility than mineralization that has been characterized as reserves. Accordingly, investors are cautioned not to assume that any measured mineral resources, indicated mineral resources, or inferred mineral resources that the Company reports are or will be economically or legally mineable.

International Financial Reporting Standards: The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared by management in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (note 2 and 3 to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023). These accounting principles differ in certain material respects from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The Company’s reporting currency is the United States dollar unless otherwise noted.

Non-GAAP Measures and Additional GAAP Measures

The Company has included certain non-GAAP financial measures to supplement its Consolidated Financial Statements, which are presented in accordance with IFRS, including the following:

•adjusted net earnings and adjusted earnings per share;

•cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital and taxes received;

•company-wide free cash flow;

•total mine-site free cash flow;

•mine-site free cash flow;

•total cash cost per ounce of gold sold;

•AISC per ounce of gold sold;

•Mine-site AISC per ounce of gold sold;

•sustaining and non-sustaining capital expenditures; and

•earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization ("EBITDA")

The Company believes that these measures, together with measures determined in accordance with IFRS, provide investors with an improved ability to evaluate the underlying performance of the Company. Non-GAAP financial measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed under IFRS, and therefore they may not be comparable to similar measures employed by other companies. The data 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 IFRS. Management's determination of the components of non-GAAP and additional measures are evaluated on a periodic basis influenced by new items and transactions, a review of investor uses and new regulations as applicable. Any changes to the measures are dully noted and retrospectively applied as applicable.

Adjusted Net Earnings and Adjusted Earnings per Share

“Adjusted net earnings” and “adjusted earnings per share” are non-GAAP financial measures with no standard meaning under IFRS which exclude the following from net earnings (loss):

•Foreign exchange (gain) loss

•Items included in other loss

•Certain non-recurring items

29 | Alamos Gold Inc

•Foreign exchange (gain) loss recorded in deferred tax expense

•The income and mining tax impact of items included in other loss

Net earnings (loss) have been adjusted, including the associated tax impact, for the group of costs in “other loss” on the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. Transactions within this grouping are: the fair value changes on non-hedged derivatives; the renunciation of flow-through exploration expenditures; loss on disposal of assets; and Turkish Projects holding costs and arbitration costs. The adjusted entries are also impacted for tax to the extent that the underlying entries are impacted for tax in the unadjusted net earnings.

The Company uses adjusted net earnings for its own internal purposes. Management’s internal budgets and forecasts and public guidance do not reflect the items which have been excluded from the determination of adjusted net earnings. Consequently, the presentation of adjusted net earnings enables shareholders to better understand the underlying operating performance of the core mining business through the eyes of management. Management periodically evaluates the components of adjusted net earnings based on an internal assessment of performance measures that are useful for evaluating the operating performance of our business and a review of the non-GAAP measures used by mining industry analysts and other mining companies.

Adjusted net earnings is intended to provide additional information only and does not have any standardized meaning under IFRS and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. It should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. The measure is not necessarily indicative of operating profit or cash flows from operations as determined under IFRS. The following table reconciles this non-GAAP measure to the most directly comparable IFRS measure.

Cash Flow from Operating Activities before Changes in Working Capital and Cash Taxes

“Cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital and cash taxes” is a non-GAAP performance measure that could provide an indication of the Company’s ability to generate cash flows from operations, and is calculated by adding back the change in working capital and taxes received to “Cash provided by (used in) operating activities” as presented on the Company’s consolidated statements of cash flows. “Cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital” is a non-GAAP financial measure with no standard meaning under IFRS.

Total Cash Costs per ounce

Total cash costs per ounce is a non-GAAP term typically used by gold mining companies to assess the level of gross margin available to the Company by subtracting these costs from the unit price realized during the period. This non-GAAP term is also used to assess the ability of a mining company to generate cash flow from operations. Total cash costs per ounce includes mining and processing costs plus applicable royalties, and net of by-product revenue and net realizable value adjustments. Total cash costs per ounce is exclusive of exploration costs.

Total cash costs per ounce is intended to provide additional information only and does not have any standardized meaning under IFRS and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other mining companies. It should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. The measure is not necessarily indicative of cash flow from operations under IFRS or operating costs presented under IFRS.

All-in Sustaining Costs per ounce and Mine-site All-in Sustaining Costs

The Company adopted an “all-in sustaining costs per ounce” non-GAAP performance measure in accordance with the World Gold Council published in June 2013. The Company believes the measure more fully defines the total costs associated with producing gold; however, this performance measure has no standardized meaning. Accordingly, there may be some variation in the method of computation of “all-in sustaining costs per ounce” as determined by the Company compared with other mining companies. In this context, “all-in sustaining costs per ounce” for the consolidated Company reflects total mining and processing costs, corporate and administrative costs, share-based compensation, exploration costs, sustaining capital, and other operating costs.

For the purposes of calculating "mine-site all-in sustaining costs" at the individual mine-sites, the Company does not include an allocation of corporate and administrative costs and share-based compensation, as detailed in the reconciliations below.

Sustaining capital expenditures are expenditures that do not increase annual gold ounce production at a mine site and excludes all expenditures at the Company’s development projects as well as certain expenditures at the Company’s operating sites that are deemed expansionary in nature. Non-sustaining capital expenditures are expenditures primarily incurred at development projects and costs related to major projects at existing operations, where the these projects will materially benefit the mine site. Capitalized exploration expenditures are expenditures that meet the IFRS definition for capitalization, and are incurred to further expand the known Mineral Reserve and Resource at existing operations or development projects. For each mine-site reconciliation, corporate and administrative costs, and non-site specific costs are not included in the all-in sustaining cost per ounce calculation.

All-in sustaining costs per gold ounce is intended to provide additional information only and does not have any standardized meaning under IFRS and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other mining companies. It should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS.

The measure is not necessarily indicative of cash flow from operations under IFRS or operating costs presented under IFRS.
