(&#8220;Alamos&#8221;) (TSX:AGI; NYSE:AGI) and Richmont Mines Inc. (&#8220;Richmont&#8221;) (TSX:RIC; NYSE:RIC)</font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">&#32;are pleased to announce that they have entered into a definitive agreement (the &#8220;Agreement&#8221;) whereby Alamos will acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Richmont pursuant to a plan of arrangement (the &#8220;Transaction&#8221;), further enhancing Alamos&#8217; position as a leading intermediate gold producer. </font></div><div style="line-height:138%;padding-bottom:18px;padding-top:18px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">Under the terms of the Agreement, all of the Richmont issued and outstanding common shares will be exchanged on the basis of 1.385 Alamos common shares for each Richmont common share (the &#8220;Exchange Ratio&#8221;). The Exchange Ratio implies consideration of C$14.20 per Richmont common share, based on the closing price of Alamos common shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange (&#8220;TSX&#8221;) on September 8, 2017. This represents a 22% premium to Richmont&#8217;s closing price and a 32% premium based on both companies&#8217; 20-day volume-weighted average prices, both as at September 8, 2017 on the TSX.  This implies a total equity value of approximately US$770 million on a fully diluted in-the-money basis and an enterprise value of US$683 million. </font></div><div style="line-height:138%;padding-bottom:18px;padding-top:18px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">Upon completion of the Transaction, existing Alamos and Richmont shareholders will own approximately 77% and 23% of the pro forma company, respectively.</font></div><div style="line-height:138%;padding-bottom:18px;padding-top:18px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">Concurrent with the announcement of the Transaction, Richmont announced the sale of the Beaufor Mine, the Camflo Mill and the Wasamac development project located in Quebec (collectively the &#8220;Quebec Assets&#8221;). Further details regarding the sale of the Quebec Assets can be found in the Richmont press release dated September 11, 2017. The sale of the Quebec Assets is the culmination of a strategic review process that Richmont publicly disclosed in Q1 2017. The sale is expected to close on, or about, September 29, 2017 and is not a condition to the Transaction.</font></div><div style="line-height:138%;padding-bottom:8px;padding-top:16px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">Transaction Highlights </font></div><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="padding-top:12px;padding-bottom:12px;font-family:Times New Roman;

All statements other than statements of historical fact included in this release, are forward-looking statements that involve various risks and uncertainties and are based on forecasts of future operational or financial results, estimates of amounts not yet determinable and assumptions of management. Any statements that express or involve discussions with respect to predictions, expectations, beliefs, plans, projections, objectives, assumptions or future events or performance (often, but not always, using words or phrases such as "expects" or "does not expect", "is expected", "anticipates" or "does not anticipate", "plans", "estimates" or "intends", or stating that certain actions, events or results "may", "could", "would", "might", &#8220;have potential&#8221; or "will" be taken, occur or be achieved) are not statements of historical fact and may be "forward-looking statements." Forward-looking statements are subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events or results to differ from those reflected in the forward-looking statements. There can be no assurance that forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate and actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. In particular, forward-looking information included in this document includes, but is not limited to: (i) assumptions and expectations with regard to the Transaction and its completion and the anticipated benefits and advantages of the Transaction; (ii) the future prospects, including exploration potential, resulting from the Transaction and the ability to unlock value, (iii) production estimates and production growth rates, which assume accuracy of projected ore grade, mining rates, recovery timing and recovery rate estimates and may be impacted by unscheduled maintenance, labour and contractor availability; (iv) capital expenditures and other cash costs, which assume foreign exchange rates and accuracy of production estimates, and may be impacted by unexpected maintenance, the need to hire external resources and accelerated capital plans; (v) profits and free cash flow, which assume production and expenditure estimates and may be impacted by gold prices, production estimates, and the timing of payments, and (vi) reserves and resources which are forward-looking statements by their nature involving implied assessment, and may be impacted by metal prices, future drilling results, operating costs, mining recoveries and dilution rates. Other factors include, ongoing permitting requirements and the ability to work with local populations, the actual results of current exploration activities, conclusions of economic evaluations and changes in project parameters as plans continue to be refined as well as future prices of gold, and those factors discussed in the section titled "Risk Factors" in Alamos' Annual Information Form and other disclosures of "Risk Factors" by Alamos, available on SEDAR and EDGAR.  Although Alamos has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially, there may be other factors that cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. There can be no assurance that such statements will prove to be accurate as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:6px;padding-top:6px;text-align:center;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">The TSX and NYSE have not reviewed and do not accept responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.
