Notes to Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
September 30, 2019 and 2018
(Unaudited - in United States dollars, unless otherwise indicated, tables stated in millions of United States dollars)

1. | NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Alamos Gold Inc. ("Alamos"), a company incorporated under the Business Corporation Act (Ontario), and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively the “Company”) are engaged in the acquisition, exploration, development and extraction of precious metals. The Company owns and operates the Young-Davidson and Island Gold mines in Canada, as well as the Mulatos and El Chanate mines in Mexico. In addition, the Company owns the Kirazlı, Ağı Dağı and Çamyurt gold development projects in Turkey, the Lynn Lake gold project in Canada, the Esperanza gold project in Mexico, as well as an option to acquire a 100% interest in the Quartz Mountain gold project in Oregon, USA.
Alamos is a publicly traded company with common shares listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX: AGI) and the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: AGI).
The Company’s registered office is located at 181 Bay Street, Suite 3910, Toronto, Ontario, M5J 2T3.

2. | BASIS OF PREPARATION

Statement of Compliance
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting (“IAS 34”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). These statements were prepared using the same accounting policies and methods of computation as the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018, except as noted below.
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not include all disclosures required by International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) for annual consolidated financial statements and accordingly should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018 prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB.
The Company adopted the following accounting standards and amendments to accounting standards, effective January 1, 2019:
Leases accounting policy
The Company adopted IFRS 16, Leases ("IFRS 16") on January 1, 2019. The objective of IFRS 16 is to recognize substantially all leases on balance sheet for lessees. IFRS 16 requires lessees to recognize a "right-of-use" asset and a lease liability calculated using a prescribed methodology. The Company has adopted IFRS 16 using the modified retrospective approach which does not require restatement of comparative periods. Comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under IAS 17, Leases (“IAS 17”), and IFRIC 4, Determining Whether an Arrangement Contains a Lease (“IFRIC 4”). The details of accounting policies under IAS 17 and IFRIC 4 are disclosed separately if they are different from those under IFRS 16.
At inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. To assess whether a contract contains the right to control the use of the identified asset, the Company assesses whether:

• | The contract involves the use of an identified asset - this may be specified explicitly or implicitly, and should be physically distinct or represent substantially all of the capacity of a physically distinct asset. If the supplier has a substantive substitution right, then the asset is not identified;

• | The Company has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the asset through the period of use; and

• | The Company has the right to direct the use of the asset. The Company has this right when it has the decision making rights that are most relevant to changing how and for what purpose the asset is used.

At inception or on reassessment of a contract that contains a lease component, the Company allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease component on the basis of their relative standalone prices.

|  | Q3 2019 FINANCIAL REPORT

As a lessee, the Company recognizes a right-of-use asset, which is included in mineral property, plant and equipment, and a lease liability at the commencement date of a lease. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which is comprised of the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any decommissioning and restoration costs, less any lease incentives received.
The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the lease term, or the end of the useful life of the asset. In addition, the right-of-use asset may be reduced due to impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for certain re-measurements of the lease liability.
A lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted by the interest rate implicit in the lease, or if that rate cannot be readily determined, the incremental borrowing rate. Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability are comprised of:

• | fixed payments, including in-substance fixed payments, less any lease incentives receivable;

• | variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the commencement date;

• | amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee;

• | exercise prices of purchase options if the Company are reasonably certain to exercise that option; and

• | payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the lessee exercising an option to terminate the lease.

The lease liability is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. It is remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, or if there is a change in our estimate or assessment of the expected amount payable under a residual value guarantee, purchase, extension or termination option. Variable lease payments not included in the initial measurement of the lease liability are charged directly to net earnings.
The Company will elect not to recognize assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases, that have a lease term of 12 months or less, and leases of low-value assets. Lease payments associated with these leases will be recognized as an expense over the lease term. The Company will elect to apply the practical expedient to account for each lease component and any non-lease components as a single lease component.
IFRS 16 adoption
The Company adopted IFRS 16 as at January 1, 2019 in accordance with the transitional provisions outlined in the standard, using the modified retrospective approach.
On adoption of IFRS 16, the Company recognized a right-of-use asset of $2.4 million, measured at the amount equal to the lease liability and discounted to January 1, 2019. As well, the Company recognized lease liabilities in relation to leases which had previously been classified as ‘operating leases’ under the principles of IAS 17 Leases. These liabilities were measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate as of January 1, 2019. The Company's weighted average incremental borrowing rate applied to the lease liabilities on January 1, 2019 was 4.5%.

Operating lease commitments at December 31, 2018 | 2.9 |
Discounted using the incremental borrowing rate at January 1, 2019 | 2.4 |
Financing lease commitments recorded at December 31, 2018 | 3.0 |
Total lease liability at January 1, 2019 | 5.4 |
Less: current portion of lease liabilities at January 1, 2019 | (2.8 | )
Long term lease liabilities at January 1, 2019 | 2.6 |

The adoption of IFRS 16 did not have a significant impact to the balance sheet, however did result in the recognition of additional right of use assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet, and a corresponding increase in depreciation and interest expense. The Company also expects cash flows from operating activities to increase under IFRS 16 as lease payments for substantially all leases will be recorded as financing outflows in the consolidated statement of cash flows as opposed to operating cash flows.

|  | Q3 2019 FINANCIAL REPORT

The Company adopted IFRIC 23, Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments (“IFRIC 23”) on January 1, 2019 with retrospective application. IFRIC 23 clarifies the recognition and measurement requirements when there is uncertainty over income tax treatments. The effect of uncertain tax treatments are recognized at the most likely amount or expected value. The adoption of IFRIC 23 had no impact on the condensed interim consolidated financial statements.
Future accounting standard changes, not effective as of September 30, 2019:
On October 22, 2018, the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 3 Business Combinations, that seek to clarify whether a transaction results in an asset or a business acquisition. The amendments include an election to use a concentration test. This is a simplified assessment that results in an asset acquisition if substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets. If a preparer chooses not to apply the concentration test, or the test is failed, then the assessment focuses on the existence of a substantive process. The amendments apply to businesses acquired in annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2020. Earlier application is permitted. The Company will apply the requirements of the amendments to transactions entered into after January 1, 2020.
The condensed interim consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on October 29, 2019.

Fair values of financial instruments
The following table sets forth the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis by level within the fair value hierarchy. The Company does not have any non-recurring fair value measurements as at September 30, 2019. Levels 1 to 3 of the fair value hierarchy are defined based on the degree to which fair value inputs are observable or unobservable, as follows:

• | Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

• | Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the net asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and

• | Level 3 inputs are unobservable (supported by little or no market activity).

| September 30, 2019 | December 31, 2018
| Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 1 | Level 2
Financial assets (liabilities) |  |  |  |
Fair value through profit or loss |  |  |  |
Gold options | — |  | (3.7 | ) | — |  | (0.1 | )
Fair value through OCI |  |  |  |
Equity securities | 16.9 |  | — |  | 7.8 |  | — |
Currency hedging derivative instruments | — |  | 0.8 |  | — |  | (4.7 | )
Fuel options | — |  | — |  | — |  | (0.5 | )
| $16.9 |  | ($2.9 | ) | $7.8 |  | ($5.3 | )

The methods of measuring financial assets and liabilities have not changed during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019. The Company does not have any financial assets or liabilities measured at fair value based on unobservable inputs (Level 3).
The fair value of option and forwards (gold and currency) contracts are determined using a market approach with reference to observable market prices for identical assets traded in an active market. These are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The use of reasonably possible alternative assumptions would not significantly affect the Company’s results.
Revolving Credit Facility
The Company has an undrawn revolving credit facility (the "Facility") of $400.0 million, expiring on September 20, 2022. The Facility bears interest at an interest rate of Libor plus 2.00% to 3.125% on drawn amounts and stand-by fees of 0.45% to 0.70% on undrawn amounts, based on the Company's net leverage ratio, as defined in the agreement.

It contains financial covenant tests that include (a) a minimum interest coverage ratio of 3.0:1.0 and (b) a maximum net leverage ratio of 3.5:1.0, both as defined in the agreement. As at September 30, 2019, the Company is in compliance with the covenants and the Facility is fully undrawn.
Derivative Instruments

Currency derivative instruments
The Company enters into option and forward contracts to economically hedge against the risk of an increase in the value of the Canadian dollar and Mexican peso versus the US dollar. These option and forward contracts are for the purchase of local currencies and the sale of US dollars, which settle on a monthly basis, and the Company believes this is an appropriate manner of managing currency risk.
The effective portion of the changes in fair value of the hedging instrument for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income is:

| Three months ended | Nine months ended
| September 30, | September 30, | September 30, | September 30,

Less: realized gains on MXN currency instruments | (0.2 | ) | (0.1 | ) | (0.9 | ) | (0.2 | )
Deferred income tax related to hedging instruments | 0.7 |  | (0.8 | ) | (1.4 | ) | 0.6 |
| $2.8 |  | $3.1 |  | $2.8 |  | $3.1 |
