Young-Davidson mine: The document discusses the Young-Davidson mine in Canada, which is projected to produce between 120,000-140,000 ounces of gold in 2013 at cash costs of $575-675 per ounce. Reserves at the mine total 3.8 million ounces. El Chanate mine: Production at the El Chanate mine in Mexico is estimated at 70,000-80,000 ounces in 2013 at cash costs of $475-525 per ounce. Proven and probable reserves at El Chanate total 1.3 million ounces. Key highlights: The presentation emphasizes CIBC's high quality, low cost asset base in North America and organic growth profile through projects like Young-David

2. FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain information included in this presentation constitutes forward-looking statements, including any information as to our projects, plans and future
financial and operating performance. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, are forward-looking statements. The words “expect”,
“believe”, “anticipate”, “will”, “intend”, “estimate”, “forecast”, “budget”, “schedule” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. Forward-
looking statements are necessarily based upon a number of factors and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by management, are
inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies. Known and unknown factors could cause actual
results to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements.
Such factors include, but are not limited to: changes to current estimates of mineral reserves and resources; fluctuations in the price of gold; changes
in foreign exchange rates (particularly the Canadian dollar, Mexican peso and U.S. dollar); the impact of inflation; changes in our credit rating; the
ongoing substantial issuer bid; any decisions to implement a dividend; employee relations; litigation; disruptions affecting operations; availability of and
increased costs associated with mining inputs and labor; development delays at the Young-Davidson mine; operating or technical difficulties in
connection with mining or development activities; inherent risks associated with mining and mineral processing; the risk that the Young-Davidson, and
El Chanate mine and may not perform as planned; uncertainty with the Company’s ability to secure capital to execute its business plans; the
speculative nature of mineral exploration and development, including the risks of obtaining necessary licenses and permits; contests over title to
properties; changes in national and local government legislation in Canada, Mexico and other jurisdictions in which the Company does or may carry on
business in the future; risk of loss due to sabotage and civil disturbances; the impact of global liquidity and credit availability and the values of assets
and liabilities based on projected future cash flows; risks arising from holding derivative instruments; business opportunities that may be pursued by
the Company Many of these uncertainties and contingencies can affect our actual results and could cause actual results to differ materially from those
expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements made by, or on behalf of, us. Readers are cautioned that forward-looking statements are not
guarantees of future performance. All of the forward-looking statements made in this presentation are qualified by these cautionary statements.
Specific reference is made to the most recent Form 40-F/Annual Information Form on file with the SEC and Canadian provincial securities regulatory
authorities for a discussion of some of the factors underlying forward-looking statements.
The Company disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future
events or otherwise, except as required by applicable law.
Cautionary Note to U.S. Investors Concerning Measured, Indicated and Inferred Resources
This presentation uses the terms "measured," "indicated " and "inferred” resources. We advise investors that while those terms are recognized and
required by Canadian regulations, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission does not recognize them. Under Canadian rules, estimates
of inferred mineral resources may not form the basis of feasibility or other economic studies. United States investors are cautioned not to assume that
all or any part of measured or indicated mineral resources will ever be converted into mineral reserves. United States investors are also cautioned not
to assume that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource exists, or is economically or legally mineable.

19. Notes to Reserves and Resources
Notes to Reserves and Resources:
• Mineral Reserves and Resources have been stated as at December 31, 2011.
• AuRico acquired Capital Gold Corporation, including the El Chanate and Orion properties, in April 2011. AuRico acquired Northgate Minerals Corporation, including the Young-Davidson,
Fosterville, Stawell and Kemess properties, in October 2011.
• Mineral Resources are in addition to Mineral Reserves. Mineral Resources that are not Mineral Reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability when calculated using Mineral
Reserve assumptions.
• Following the completion of a joint venture agreement , which is anticipated in early Dec. 2012, Minera Frisco will acquire a 50% interest in the Orion project.
• Reserves have been calculated in accordance with NI 43-101, as required by Canadian securities regulatory authorities. In addition, while the terms “Measured”, “Indicated and “Inferred”
Mineral Resources are required pursuant to NI 43-101, the SEC does not recognize such terms. Canadian standards differ significantly from the requirements of the SEC, and Mineral
Resources disclosed in accordance with the requirements of the SEC. Investors should understand that “Inferred” Mineral Resources have a great amount of uncertainty as to their
existence and great uncertainty as to their economic and legal feasibility. In addition, investors are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of AuRico Gold’s Mineral Resources
constitute or will be converted into Reserves.
The following metal prices were used for the calculation of Reserves and Resources:

Young-Davidson $1250 USD - $1450 USD - -
