RICHMONT MINESFORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTSThis presentation contains forward-looking statements that include risks and uncertainties. When used in this presentation, thewords “estimate”, “projects”, “anticipate”, “expects”, “intend”, “believe”, “hope”, “may”, and similar expressions, as well as “will”, “shall”, andother indications of future tense, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements are based on currentexpectations and apply only as of the date on which they were made. Except as required by law or regulation, Richmont Mines Inc.(“Richmont” or the “Corporation”) undertakes no obligation and disclaims any responsibility to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements of information, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. The factors that could cause actualresults to differ materially from those indicated in such forward-looking statements include changes in the prevailing price of gold, theCanadian-U.S. exchange rate, grade of ore mined and unforeseen difficulties in mining operations that could affect revenue andproduction costs. Other factors such as uncertainties regarding government regulations could also affect the results. Other risks maybe detailed from time to time in Richmont’s Annual Information Form and other public disclosure.

Safe Harbor Statement & Cautionary Note to U.S. Investors Concerning Resources EstimatesThe resource estimates in this presentation were prepared in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure ofMineral Projects (“NI 43-101”) adopted by the Canadian Securities Administrators. The requirements of NI 43-101 differ significantly fromthe requirements of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). In this presentation, we use the terms“Measured”, “Indicated” and “Inferred” Resources. Although these terms are recognized and required to be used in Canada, theSEC does not recognize them. The SEC permits U.S. mining corporations, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose only those mineraldeposits that constitute “Reserves”. Under United States standards, mineralization may not be classified as a Reserve unless thedetermination has been made that the mineralization could be economically and legally extracted at the time the determination is made.United States investors should not assume that all or any portion of a Measured or Indicated Resource will ever be converted into“Reserves”. Furthermore, “Inferred Resources” have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence and whether they can be minedeconomically or legally, and United States investors should not assume that “Inferred Resources” exist or can be legally or economicallymined, or that they will ever be upgraded to a more certain category.

For additional information regarding the Mineral Reserves and Resources referred to in this presentation, please refer to the press releasedated Jan. 31, 2017 reporting Richmont’s Mineral Reserve and Resource estimates as of Dec. 31, 2016.

An NI 43-101 Technical Report for the Island Gold Mine Expansion Case Preliminary Economic Assessment (“PEA”) is available onwww.sedar.com.

U.S. Investors are urged to consider the disclosure in our annual report on Form 40-F, File No. 001-14598, which may be obtained fromus or from the SEC’s web site: http://sec.gov/edgar.shtml.

First step in disciplined multi-phased strategy to maximize productivity while maintaining minimum mine life of 8 years

Expansion Case PEA: Capital and cost effective

use current infrastructure for low incremental expansion capital of C$28.2 M low industry cash costs and robust cash flow stream

Supporting strong production 22% projected growth mine the main area of interest over 4 horizons to 1,000 m maximum depth

Additional growth opportunities Only ~24% of Inferred Resources were incorporated

+750k ounces Inferred Resources available for further growth Recent delineation/exploration success not captured

PEA based on 2016 operational performance Potential for additional operational and cost optimization upside

Ramp-up to 1,100 tonnes per day currently advancing; Mill anticipated to achieve target run rate in latter part of 2018

ISLAND GOLD MINENEXT STEPS: ADDITIONAL GROWTH OPPORTUNITIES

Immediate Operational enhancements

► Ongoing implementation of enhanced operational efficiencies► Cost reduction initiatives► Supply chain optimization

Short-Term Exploration andDelineation Program

► Increase resource inventory to the east and at depth to a minimum of 2Moz of total resources, including 1Moz of reserves

Mid-Term Phase 2 Expansion< 5 years

► Additional mine infrastructure (ex. shaft) could allow increased mining rates as new mining zones outside the PEA area (both laterally and at depth) are incorporated in the PEA

► +2M oz of resources – further production growth profile over 10+ year mine life

Mid to Long-Term

Unlocking the Full Potential of the Island Gold Deposit

► Increased resource inventory of the vertical extension at depth (+2 km)

► Increased resource inventory along strike; +7 km east and west

► Transforming Island Gold into a multi-million ounce deposit

Long-Term Potential Full Land Package

► Resource growth potential regionally outside the current deposit area

► <15% of the main structure has been drilled to a depth of 1,000 m
