The section of the Offer and Circular entitled 8. Summary of Alamos Historical and Pro Forma Financial Information beginning on page 25 of
the Offer and Circular is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

|
Summary of Alamos Historical and Pro Forma Financial Information
|
The following
tables present a summary of certain historical audited consolidated financial information in respect of Alamos as at and for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011. Alamos financial statements as at and for such periods are incorporated by
reference in the Offer and Circular. Copies of Alamos consolidated financial statements and related notes incorporated herein by reference can be found at
www.sedar.com
.
The tables also present Alamos unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information as at and for the year ended December 31,
2012 after giving effect to Alamos acquisition of all of the Common Shares pursuant to the Offer. This information is derived from and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of Alamos and the related notes to
those consolidated financial statements incorporated by reference herein. The historical financial information for Aurizon as at and for the year ended December 31, 2012 and as at and for the year ended December 31, 2011 has, for the purposes of the
unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements of Alamos for such period, been derived from Aurizons audited consolidated financial statements, which can be found at
www.sedar.com
and
www.sec.gov
. See note 1 of the
unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements attached as Schedule D hereto for information as to how the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements were derived. The unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of
financial position have been prepared from the audited consolidated statement of financial position of Alamos as at December 31, 2012 and gives pro forma effect to the acquisition of Aurizon by Alamos as if the transaction occurred on such date. The
unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the year ended December 31, 2012 has been prepared from the audited consolidated statement of comprehensive income of Alamos for the year ended December 31, 2012 and gives pro
forma effect to the acquisition of Aurizon by Alamos as if the transaction occurred on January 1, 2012.
Because the Offer is not
subject to a minimum tender condition, it is possible that a number of Common Shares will be tendered to the Offer, which, together with the Common Shares already owned by Alamos, will equal less than 66 2/3% of the issued and outstanding Common
Shares. If Alamos is unable to purchase either pursuant to the Offer or pursuant to the Offer and certain subsequent transactions, including, without limitation, subsequent offering periods, purchases in the open market or subsequent tender
offers, a number of Common Shares that, together with the Common Shares already owned by Alamos, equals at least 66 2/3% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares, Alamos may not be able to effect a subsequent acquisition transaction or a
compulsory acquisition of the Common Shares it does not already own in which case Aurizon will remain a majority- or minority-owned subsidiary of Alamos. If the number of Common Shares tendered to the Offer, together with the number of Common
Shares already owned by Alamos, equals greater than 33 1/3% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares, Alamos will own a sufficient number of Common Shares to prevent the consummation of the proposed amalgamation (the
Hecla
Transaction
) of Hecla Mining Company (
Hecla
) and Aurizon, which is subject to the approval of at least 66 2/3% of the Common Shares. However, if the number of Common Shares tendered to the Offer, together with the
number of Common Shares already owned by Alamos, equals 33 1/3% or less of the issued and outstanding Common Shares, it is possible that the Hecla Transaction will be consummated and Aurizon will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hecla. Therefore,
in addition to the pro forma financial statements reflecting the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding Common Shares, which can be found in Schedule D to the Offer and Circular, an unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of
financial position as at December 31, 2012 and an unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the year ended December 31, 2012 have been included to show the pro forma effect of the acquisition by Alamos of 35% of the
issued and outstanding Common Shares and are attached as Schedule F to the Offer and Circular.
In preparing the
unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information, management of Alamos has made certain assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information. The summary unaudited pro forma consolidated
financial information is not intended to be indicative of the results that would actually have occurred, or the results expected in future periods, had the events reflected herein occurred on the dates indicated. Actual amounts recorded upon
consummation of the transaction contemplated by the Offer will differ from the pro forma information
- 3 -
presented below. Where possible through the review of publicly available information, the effect of harmonization of accounting policies or practices between Alamos and Aurizon was calculated,
where the impact was potentially material and could be reasonably estimated. Any potential synergies that may be realized after consummation of the transaction have been excluded from the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information. The
unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information set forth below is extracted from and should be read in conjunction with the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements of Alamos and accompanying notes attached as Schedule
D and Schedule F to the Offer and Circular.

ALAMOS GOLD INC.
Notes to
Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements
(Stated in United States dollars, unless otherwise indicated)
The unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of financial position of Alamos Gold Inc. (Alamos or the Company) as at
December 31, 2012 and unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the year ended December 31, 2012 have been prepared by management of Alamos for illustrative purposes only, based on financial statements which
were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, to show the pro forma effect of the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding common
shares of Aurizon Mines Ltd. (Aurizon) which is more fully described in Note 3. All amounts are expressed in United States dollars (USD) unless otherwise indicated.
Because the offer to acquire the all of the common shares of Aurizon (the Offer) is not subject to a minimum tender condition, it is
possible that Alamos will take up and pay for under the Offer less than 66 2/3% of the issued and outstanding common shares of Aurizon (Common Shares). If Alamos is unable to purchase, either pursuant to the Offer or pursuant to the
Offer and certain subsequent transactions, including, without limitation, subsequent offering periods, purchases in the open market or subsequent tender offers, at least 66 2/3% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares, Alamos may not be able to
effect a subsequent acquisition transaction or a compulsory acquisition of the Common Shares it does not otherwise own, in which case Aurizon will remain a majority-owned subsidiary or an associate of Alamos. If the number of Common Shares tendered
to the Offer, together with the number of Common Shares already owned by Alamos, equals greater than 33 1/3% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares, Alamos will own a sufficient number of Common Shares to prevent the consummation of the
proposed amalgamation (the Hecla Transaction) of Hecla Mining Company (Hecla) and Aurizon, which is subject to the approval of at least 66 2/3% of the Common Shares. However, if the number of Common Shares tendered to the
Offer, together with the number of Common Shares already owned by Alamos, equals 33 1/3% or less of the issued and outstanding Common Shares, it is possible that the Hecla Transaction will be consummated and Aurizon will become a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Hecla. Therefore, in addition to these unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements reflecting the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding Common Shares, an additional set of unaudited pro forma consolidated financial
statements have been included in Schedule F to the Bid Circular dated January 14, 2013, as amended (the Circular). The unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of financial position as at December 31, 2012 and the unaudited
pro forma consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the year then ended included in Schedule F of the Circular show the pro forma effect of the acquisition by Alamos of 35% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares.
These unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements have been compiled from and include:
a) An unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of financial position combining the audited consolidated statement of financial position of Alamos as
at December 31, 2012 and the audited consolidated statement of financial position of Aurizon as at December 31, 2012. The audited consolidated statement of financial position of Aurizon has been translated from Canadian dollars
(C$) using a C$:USD rate of 1.0051.
b) An unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the year ended
December 31, 2012 combining:
|
i)
|
the audited consolidated statement of comprehensive income of Alamos for the year ended December 31, 2012; and
|
|
ii)
|
the audited consolidated statement of comprehensive income of Aurizon for the year ended December 31, 2012. The audited consolidated statement of
comprehensive income of Aurizon has been translated from Canadian dollars (C$) using a C$:USD rate of 0.9937
|
The
unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of financial position as at December 31, 2012 has been prepared as if the transaction described in Note 3 had occurred on December 31, 2012. The unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of
comprehensive income for the year ended December 31, 2012 has been prepared as if the transaction described in Note 3 had occurred on January 1, 2012.
The pro forma adjustments are based on publicly available financial information and certain estimates and
assumptions. The actual adjustments to the consolidated financial statements of Alamos will depend on a number of factors. Therefore, the actual adjustments will differ from the pro forma adjustments and these differences may be material. Similarly,
the calculation and allocation of the purchase price has been prepared on a preliminary basis and is subject to change between the time such preliminary estimates were made and the closing as a result of several factors which could include, among
other things, changes in fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Management believes that such assumptions provide a reasonable basis for presenting all of the significant effects of the transactions contemplated and that the pro
forma adjustments give appropriate effect to those assumptions and are properly applied in the pro forma consolidated financial information.
It is
managements opinion that these unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements present in all material respects, the transactions, assumptions and adjustments described in Notes 3 and 4. These unaudited pro forma consolidated financial
statements are not intended to reflect the results of operations or the financial position of Alamos which would have actually resulted had the transaction been effected on the dates indicated. Actual amounts recorded once the transaction is
completed are likely to differ from those recorded in the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements. Any potential synergies that may be realized and integration costs that may be incurred upon consummation of the transaction have been
excluded from the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements. Further, the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be obtained in the future.
These unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the historical consolidated financial statements and
notes of Alamos and Aurizon for the year ended December 31, 2012, and the notes thereto.
2.
|
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
|
The accounting policies used in the preparation of these unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements are those as set out in Alamos
consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012. In preparing the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information a review was undertaken to identify any accounting policy differences between Alamos and Aurizon
where the impact was potentially material and could be reasonably estimated. Upon review, the following differences in accounting policies were noted:
|
i)
|
Aurizon expenses certain exploration expenditures which would be capitalized under Alamos accounting policies.
|
|
ii)
|
Aurizon amortizes certain assets using the declining balance method which differs from Alamos policy of straight-line amortization.
|
Pro forma adjustments have been made to reflect Alamos policies for each of the items noted above which were considered to
have a material effect on the financial statements. Further accounting policy differences may be identified after completion and integration of the acquisition.
3.
|
ACQUISITION ACCOUNTING
|
Alamos plans to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Aurizon as stated in the Circular. Under the terms of the Circular, and provided
only in the money options are exercised, each outstanding Aurizon common share would be exchanged for 0.1706 of a common share of Alamos, and C$1.82 in cash for each outstanding share of Aurizon. For pro forma purposes, each outstanding option of
Aurizon is assumed to be vested and exercised at the date of closing for cash equal to the in-the-money value of the options, therefore
no replacement options of Alamos have been included in the preliminary transaction purchase price. This transaction has been accounted for as a business combination.
The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements assume that the cost of acquisition will comprise the fair value of Alamos shares issued,
based on the issuance of 27,770,955 Alamos shares at C$14.24 per share and cash of C$1.82 per Aurizon share outstanding, for a total consideration of C$711.4 million (US$715.1 million). Alamos owned 3,000,000 common shares of Aurizon prior to the
share purchase agreements entered into by Alamos as described in the Circular.
The consideration amount for Alamos common shares included in
these unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements are based on the closing share price on March 15, 2013. Due to the limited nature of publicly available information, Alamos has not yet determined the fair value of all of the
identifiable assets and liabilities acquired. Therefore, the excess of purchase consideration over the book values of Aurizons assets and liabilities has been assumed to relate to mining interests. The increase in future income taxes is a
result of the tax effect on the adjustment from book value to fair value of the mining interests applying Alamos best estimate of the applicable tax rates.
The consideration for the acquisition and preliminary purchase price allocation, in accordance with IFRS 3, Business Combinations, are estimated as

The transaction will be accounted for as a business combination. Alamos has made a preliminary estimate that the fair
value of available for sale securities, inventory and other long term assets approximate their carrying value.
Alamos will complete a valuation of
the fair value of the components of net assets acquired from Aurizon with the assistance of an independent third party valuator. Therefore it is likely that the fair values of assets and liabilities acquired will vary from those shown above and the
differences may be material. The allocation of the purchase price is based upon managements preliminary estimates and certain assumptions with respect to the fair value increment associated with the assets to be acquired and the liabilities to
be assumed. The actual fair values of the assets and liabilities may differ materially from the amounts disclosed above in the assumed pro forma purchase price allocation as further analysis is completed.

ALAMOS GOLD INC.
Notes to
Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements
(Stated in United States dollars, unless otherwise indicated)
The unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of financial position of Alamos Gold Inc. (Alamos or the Company) as at
December 31, 2012 and unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the year ended December 31, 2012 have been prepared by management of Alamos for illustrative purposes only, based on financial statements which
were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, to show the pro forma effect of the acquisition of 35% of the issued and outstanding common
shares of Aurizon Mines Ltd. (Aurizon) which is more fully described in Note 3. All amounts are expressed in United States dollars (USD) unless otherwise indicated.
Because the offer to acquire all of the common shares of Aurizon (the Offer) is not subject to a minimum tender condition, it is possible
that Alamos will take up and pay for under the Offer less than 66 2/3% of the issued and outstanding common shares of Aurizon (Common Shares). If Alamos is unable to purchase, either pursuant to the Offer or pursuant to the Offer and
certain subsequent transactions, including, without limitation, subsequent offering periods, purchases in the open market or subsequent tender offers, at least 66 2/3% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares, Alamos may not be able to effect a
subsequent acquisition transaction or a compulsory acquisition of the Common Shares it does not otherwise own in which case Aurizon will remain a majority-owned subsidiary or an associate of Alamos. If the number of Common Shares tendered to the
Offer, together with the number of Common Shares already owned by Alamos, equals greater than 33 1/3% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares, Alamos will own a sufficient number of Common Shares to prevent the consummation of the proposed
amalgamation (the Hecla Transaction) of Hecla Mining Company (Hecla) and Aurizon, which is subject to the approval of at least 66 2/3% of the Common Shares. However, if the number of Common Shares tendered to the Offer,
together with the number of Common Shares already owned by Alamos, equals 33 1/3% or less of the issued and outstanding Common Shares, it is possible that the Hecla Transaction will be consummated and Aurizon will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Hecla. Therefore, in addition to unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements reflecting the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding Common Shares, which can be found in Schedule D to the Bid Circular dated January 14, 2013,
as amended (the Circular), these unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of financial position as at December 31, 2012 and the unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the year then ended have been
included to show the pro forma effect of the acquisition by Alamos of 35% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares.
These unaudited pro forma
consolidated financial statements have been compiled from and include:
a) An unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of
financial position based on the audited consolidated statement of financial position of Alamos as at December 31, 2012 and information derived from the audited consolidated statement of financial position of Aurizon as at December 31,
2012. Information derived from the audited consolidated statement of financial position of Aurizon has been translated from Canadian dollars (C$) using a C$:USD rate of 1.0051.
b) An unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the year ended December 31, 2012 based on the audited
consolidated statement of comprehensive income of Alamos for the year ended December 31, 2012 and information derived from the audited consolidated statement of comprehensive income of Aurizon for the year ended December 31, 2012.
Information derived from the audited consolidated statement of comprehensive income of Aurizon has been translated from Canadian dollars (C$) using a C$:USD rate of 0.9937
The unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of financial position as at December 31, 2012 has been prepared as if the transaction described in
Note 3 had occurred on December 31, 2012. The unaudited pro
forma consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the year ended December 31, 2012 has been prepared as if the transaction described in Note 3 had occurred on January 1, 2012.
The pro forma adjustments are based on publicly available financial information and certain estimates and assumptions. The actual adjustments to
the consolidated financial statements of Alamos will depend on a number of factors. Therefore, the actual adjustments will differ from the pro forma adjustments and these differences may be material. Similarly, the calculation and allocation of the
purchase price has been prepared on a preliminary basis and is subject to change between the time such preliminary estimates were made and the closing as a result of several factors which could include, among other things, changes in fair value of
the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Management believes that such assumptions provide a reasonable basis for presenting all of the significant effects of the transactions contemplated and that the pro forma adjustments give appropriate
effect to those assumptions and are properly applied in the pro forma consolidated financial information.
It is managements opinion that
these unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements present in all material respects, the transactions, assumptions and adjustments described in Notes 3 and 4. These unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements are not intended to
reflect the results of operations or the financial position of Alamos which would have actually resulted had the transaction been effected on the dates indicated. Actual amounts recorded once the transaction is completed are likely to differ from
those recorded in the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements. Further, the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be obtained in the future.
These unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the historical consolidated financial statements and
notes of Alamos and Aurizon for the year ended December 31, 2012, and the notes thereto.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
|
The accounting policies used in the preparation of these unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements are those as set out in Alamos
consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012. In preparing the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information a review was undertaken to identify any accounting policy differences between Alamos and Aurizon
where the impact was potentially material and could be reasonably estimated. Upon review, the following differences in accounting policies were noted:
|
i)
|
Aurizon expenses certain exploration expenditures which would be capitalized under Alamos accounting policies.
|
|
ii)
|
Aurizon amortizes certain assets using the declining balance method which differs from Alamos policy of straight-line amortization.
|
Pro forma adjustments have been made to reflect Alamos policies for each of the items noted above which were considered to
have a material effect on the financial statements. Further accounting policy differences may be identified after completion and integration of the acquisition.

ACQUISITION ACCOUNTING
|
These pro forma financial statements have been prepared on a basis consistent with the terms of the Circular, but under the assumption that the Company
acquires 35% of the Common Shares, including Common Shares the Company owned prior to the share purchase agreements entered into by the Company as described in the Circular.
Under the terms of the Circular, and assuming only in-the-money options are exercised, a total of
approximately 55,618,000 Common Shares would be acquired, resulting in the Company owning 35% of the Common Shares outstanding. Common Shares acquired would be exchanged for 0.1706 of a common share of Alamos, and C$1.82 in cash, representing the
same ratio of Alamos common shares and cash as if 100% of the Common Shares were acquired.
The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial
statements assume that the cost of the investment in Aurizon will comprise the fair value of Alamos common shares issued, based on the issuance of 9,149,099 Alamos common shares at C$14.24 per share, cash of C$1.82 per Common Share acquired, and the
fair value of the Common Shares previously held by Alamos, totaling C$251.0 million ($252.3 million). This transaction has been accounted for as a business combination.
The consideration amount for Alamos common shares is based on the closing share on March 15, 2013. Due to the limited nature of publicly
available information, Alamos has not yet determined the fair value of all of the identifiable assets and liabilities acquired. On a preliminary basis, the Company has estimated its interest in the excess of fair value over the book values of the
assets and liabilities of Aurizon to be approximately US$118.5 million. The Company has allocated this to exploration and evaluation assets (US$4.4 million) mineral property, plant and equipment (US$187.1 million), and has recorded an adjustment to
deferred income tax liabilities (US$73.0 million).
Alamos will complete a valuation of the fair value of the components of net assets acquired from
Aurizon with the assistance of an independent third party valuator. Therefore it is likely that the fair values of assets and liabilities acquired will vary from those described above and the differences may be material. The allocation of the
purchase price is based upon managements preliminary estimates and certain assumptions with respect to the fair value increment associated with the assets to be acquired and the liabilities to be assumed. The actual fair values of the assets
and liabilities may differ materially from the amounts described above in the assumed pro forma purchase price allocation as further analysis is completed.

Item 11.
|
Additional Information.
|
In its press release dated March 5, 2013 and the Second Notice of
Extension and Variation, Alamos disclosed that it had received expressions of support for the Offer from certain large shareholders of Aurizon after the public announcement of the agreement between Aurizon and Hecla Mining Company
(Hecla). One of these shareholders, Van Eck Associates Corporation (Van Eck), which owns and/or has investment authority over approximately 13.4% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares, provided a letter of support in
connection with Alamos application to cease-trade the shareholder rights plan adopted by the Aurizon board and to prevent payment of the break fee to Hecla. However, neither Van Eck nor any other Aurizon shareholder is subject to any binding
agreement obligating them to tender their Common Shares to the Offer and therefore may choose not to tender into the Offer and, to Alamos knowledge, none of the Shareholders referenced above that have expressed support have tendered into the
Offer because, in accordance with their fiduciary duties, the interests of their securityholders and market practice, holders typically delay tendering into an offer until shortly prior to the expiration of the offer.
In addition, in an interview with John A. McCluskey, President and Chief Executive Officer of Alamos, by the Financial Post on Monday, March 11, 2013,
it was erroneously reported by the Financial Post that Alamos claims that four key Aurizon shareholders plan to tender into its offer instead of Heclas. The four key Aurizon shareholders referenced by Mr. McCluskey
to the Financial Post reporter in the interview were the four Aurizon shareholders who had sold their shares to Alamos prior to the commencement of Alamos offer which led to Alamos acquiring 16.1% of the Common Shares. Mr. McCluskey was
not referring to any Aurizon shareholder that has tendered, or has expressed an intention to tender, into Alamos offer. Any Aurizon shareholder that may have tendered into the Offer to date retains the right to withdraw its Common Shares
as set forth in the Offer and Circular.
