SAFE HARBOR STATEMENT & CAUTIONARY NOTE TO
U.S. INVESTORS CONCERNING RESOURCE ESTIMATES
This presentation contains forward-looking statements that include risks and uncertainties. The factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated in such forward-looking statements include changes in the prevailing price of gold, the Canadian-U.S. exchange rate, grade of ore mined and unforeseen difficulties in mining operations that could affect revenue and production costs. Other factors such as uncertainties regarding government regulations could also affect the results. Other risks may be detailed from time to time in Richmont Mines Inc.’s periodic reports and annual notice.
The resource estimates in this presentation were prepared in accordance with Regulation 43-101 adopted by the Canadian Securities Administrators. The requirements of Regulation 43-101 differ significantly from the 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 in Canada, the SEC does not recognize them. The SEC permits U.S. mining companies, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose only those mineral deposits that constitute “Reserves”. Under United States standards, mineralization may not be classified as a Reserve unless the determination 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”. Further, “Inferred Resources” have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence and whether they can be mined economically or legally, and United States investors should not assume that “Inferred Resources” exist or can be legally or economically mined, or that they will ever be upgraded to a higher category.
U.S. Investors are urged to consider the disclosure in our annual report on Form 20-F, File No. 001-14598, which may be obtained from us or from the SEC’s web site: http://sec.gov/edgar.shtml .

ISLAND GOLD MINE DEEP DRILLING SHOWS POTENTIAL
Four main zones identified (G, C, D, E1E) between -500 metres and -900 metres of vertical depth between the Lochalsh and Island Main zones.
Results from more than 23,000 metres of deep drilling in 2011 have confirmed the potential at depth of this mine. Notable intercepts (all true widths and cut-grades) include:
• 13.39 g/t Au over 4.84 metres (Zone E1E) • 16.42 g/t Au over 4.08 metres (Zone E1E) • 22.08 g/t Au over 6.58 metres (G Zone) • 12.28 g/t Au over 7.24 metres (C Zone) • 27.26 g/t Au over 5.88 metres (C Zone) • 33.36 g/t Au over 2.18 metres (D Zone) • 20.22 g/t Au over 2.05 metres (D Zone) Planning 35,000 metres of deep drilling at Island Gold in 2012, with the goal of establishing resources below the current infrastructure.

WASAMAC GOLD PROJECT 2012 – 2013 FOCUS
2012 drill program:
• Approximately 55,000 metres
• 3 drills currently active
• Primary focus:
Main Zone - M & I Resources(1): 285,262 Au ounces
- Inferred Resources(1): 695,755 Au ounces
Advance all technical studies on the property including metallurgical, geotechnical, and hydro-geological
Project design optimization:
• Focus on Main Zone where geometry, grade, widths and metallurgy appear most promising
