(the “Company” or the “Registrant”) is a Canadian issuer eligible to file its annual report pursuant to Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “1934 Act”) on Form 40-F. The Company is a “foreign private issuer” as defined in Rule 3b-4 under the 1934 Act and in Rule 405 under the Securities Act of 1933. Equity securities of the Company are accordingly exempt from Sections 14(a), 14(b), 14(c), 14(f) and 16 of the 1934 Act pursuant to Rule 3a12-3.

This report contains forward-looking statements concerning the Company’s plans for its properties and other matters. These statements relate to analyses and other information that are based on forecasts of future results, estimates of amounts not yet determinable and assumptions of management.

Statements concerning reserves and mineral resource estimates may also be deemed to constitute forward-looking statements to the extent that they involve estimates of the mineralization that will be encountered if the property is developed, and in the case of mineral reserves, such statements reflect the conclusion based on certain assumptions that the mineral deposit can be economically exploited. 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” 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 which could cause actual events or results to differ from those reflected in the forward-looking statements, including but not limited to:

This list is not exhaustive of the factors that may affect any of the Company’s forward-looking statements. These and other factors should be considered carefully.

Some of the important risks and uncertainties that could affect forward looking statements are described in the Company’s Annual Information Report and Management’s Discussion and Analysis. Should one or more of these risks and uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described in forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are made based on management’s beliefs, estimates and opinions on the date the statements are made and the Company undertakes no obligation to update forward-looking statements if these beliefs, estimates and opinions or other circumstances should change. Investors are cautioned against attributing undue certainty to forward-looking statements. Further information regarding these and other factors is included in the filings by the Company with the U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission and Canadian provincial securities regulatory authorities.

Unless otherwise indicated, all dollar amounts in this report are in U.S. dollars. The exchange rate of Canadian dollars into United States dollars, on December 31, 2004, based upon the noon buying rate in New York City for cable transfers payable in Canadian dollars as certified for customs purposes by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, was U.S.$1.00 = CDN $1.2034.

All resource estimates incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement have been prepared in accordance with Canadian National Instrument 43-101 and the Canadian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy (“CIM”) Classification System. These standards differ significantly from the requirements of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, and resource information incorporated by reference herein may not be comparable to similar information concerning U.S. companies.

The terms mineral reserve, proven mineral reserve, probable mineral reserve, mineral resource, measured mineral resource, indicated mineral resource and inferred mineral resource are Canadian mining terms as defined in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects under the guidelines set out in the CIM Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves Definitions and guidelines adopted by the CIM Council on August 20, 2000. A reader in the United States should be aware that the definition standards enunciated in National Instrument 43-101 differ in certain respect from those set forth in SEC Industry Guide 7.

While the terms “mineral resource”, “measured mineral resource”, “indicated mineral resource” and “inferred mineral resource” are recognized and required by Canadian regulations, they are not defined terms under standards in the United States. As such, information contained in this report concerning descriptions of mineralization and resources under Canadian standards may not be comparable to similar information made public by U.S. companies subject to the reporting and disclosure requirements of the SEC. “Indicated mineral resource” and “inferred mineral resource” have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence and a great uncertainty as to their economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of an “indicated mineral resource” or “inferred mineral resource” will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Investors are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of mineral deposits in these categories will ever be converted into reserves.

The Company’s Renewal Annual Information Form for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004 is included herein as Document 1.

The audited consolidated financial statements of the Company, including the report of the auditors with respect thereto, are included herein as Document 2.

A reconciliation of important differences between Canadian and United States generally accepted accounting principles is contained in the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements, see Note 19 – United States generally accepted accounting principles.

The Company’s management’s discussion and analysis (“MD&A”) is included herein as Document 3.

As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 of the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”). Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms.

During the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 40-F, no changes occurred in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

The Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that its disclosure controls and procedures or internal controls and procedures will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

CODE OF ETHICS FOR CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER,
CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER AND CONTROLLER

The Company has adopted a Code of Ethics applicable to its Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Controller. A copy of the Company’s Code of Ethics for Chief Executive Officer, Chief

Financial Officer and Controller was filed as Exhibit 99.1 to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 40-F for the year ended December 31, 2003, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on June 4, 2004, and available in print to any shareholder who requests it.

All amendments to the code, and all waivers of the code with respect to any of the officers covered by it, will be posted on the Company’s web site, submitted on Form 6-K and provided in print to any shareholder who requests them. The Company’s website is located at www.alamosgold.com.

The Company’s corporate governance practices are set forth in the Company’s 2004 Management Information Circular filed with the SEC on Form 6-K on June 2, 2004 and available in print to any shareholder who requests it.

The terms of reference of each of the Audit and Corporate Governance Committee and the Compensation Committee of the Company are available in the Company’s 2004 Management Information Circular and in print to any shareholder who provides the Company with a written request.

The Company’s Board of Directors has a separately-designated standing Audit Committee for the purpose of overseeing the accounting and financial reporting processes of the Company and audits of the Company’s annual financial statements. As at the review of the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2004 and as at the date of this Annual Report, the following individuals comprise the entire membership of the Company’s Audit Committee, which have been established in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Exchange Act: James McDonald, Richard Hughes, and Leonard Harris.

The Company has adopted the criteria for director independence and unrelatedness for members of public company audit committees that are consistent with the rules and regulations of the American Stock Exchange as currently in effect. Each member of the Company’s audit committee satisfies the criteria for director independence.

The Company’s Board of Directors has determined that no member of its Audit Committee currently satisfies the requirements of an audit committee financial expert criteria prescribed by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company has a limited operating history. Given the early stage of the Company and the difficulties recruiting qualified independent directors to serve as members of audit committees of public companies, the Company has not been able to recruit a qualified independent director who meets the definition of audit committee financial expert to serve on its audit committee.

The Company’s Audit Committee Charter was filed as Exhibit 99.2 to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 40-F for the year ended December 31, 2003, filed with the SEC on June 4, 2004, and available in print to any shareholder who requests it.

The Company’s fees paid to its independent auditor, De Visser Gray for the years ended December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003 are set forth below:

"Audit Fees" are the aggregate fees billed by De Visser Gray for the audit of the Company’s consolidated annual financial statements, reviews of interim financial statements and attestation services that are provided in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements.

"Audit-Related Fees" are fees charged by De Visser Gray for assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of the Company’s financial statements and are not reported under "Audit Fees." This category comprises fees billed for independent accountant review of the interim financial statements and Management Discussion and Analysis, as well as advisory services associated with the Company’s financial reporting.

"Tax Fees" are fees for professional services rendered by De Visser Gray for tax compliance, tax advice on actual or contemplated transactions.

“Other Fees” relate to Prospectus filings for issuance of common shares of the Company.

The Audit Committee pre-approves all audit services to be provided to the Company by its independent auditors. The Audit Committee’s policy regarding the pre-approval of non-audit services to be provided to the Company by its independent auditors is that all such services shall be pre-approved by the Audit Committee. Non-audit services that are prohibited to be provided to the Company by its independent auditors may not be pre-approved. In addition, prior to the granting of any pre-approval, the Audit Committee must be satisfied that the performance of the services in question will not compromise the independence of the independent auditors.

During the year ended December 31, 2004, the Audit Committee approved tax-related fees subsequent to the services being performed. The Audit Committee did not approve any non-audit services under the de minimus exemption to the pre-approval requirements.

The following table lists as of December 31, 2004 information with respect to the Company’s known contractual obligations.

In this AIF or materials incorporated by reference, unless otherwise defined or there is something in the subject matter or context inconsistent therewith, the following capitalized terms have the meanings set forth herein or therein:

The name of the Company is "Alamos Gold Inc." The Company's principal place of business is located at 1503 - 110 Yonge St., Toronto, Ontario, Canada M5C 1T4, telephone: (416) 368-9932, facsimile: (416) 368-2934.

The Company is in the business of acquiring, exploring and developing mineral resource properties principally in Mexico. The Company's primary focus is on exploration and development of its Salamandra Property in the State of Sonora, Mexico. The Company is developing a portion of its Mulatos mineral deposit which is located on the Salamandra Property (the "Mulatos Deposit") and is continuing exploration activities on the remainder of the Salamandra Property. See "Narrative Description of the Business - The Salamandra Property" for further details on the Salamandra Property. Set out below is a description of how the business of the Company has developed over the past three completed financial years, including the business of its Predecessor Companies.

National Gold (Predecessor of Alamos Gold Inc.) - Operations and Activities, 2002 - 2003

During the years 2002 to 2003, National Gold was involved primarily in mineral exploration projects in British Columbia, Canada and Mexico.

In 2001, National Gold, through Minas de Oro Nacional, acquired a 100% interest in the Salamandra Property which is now the principal property of the Company. The acquisition was completed pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, dated December 31, 2000, as amended March 23, 2001 and August 21, 2001, among National Gold, Minas de Oro Nacional (then known as O.N.C. de Mexico S.A. de C.V.) and Minera San Augusto, a Mexican company controlled by Placer Dome and Kennecott. Minera San Augusto subsequently assigned all of its right, interest and title under the Asset Purchase Agreement and the RTE Agreement (as defined below) to Tenedoramex (an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Placer Dome) and Kennecott effective March 23, 2001. The consideration for the acquisition of the Salamandra Property was Cdn.$11,725,014, which has been paid in full, and the Placer Kennecott Royalty.

On October 17, 2001 National Gold granted to Alamos Minerals an option to earn up to a 50% interest in the Salamandra Property under the terms and conditions of the Joint Venture Agreement among National Gold, Alamos Minerals, Bienvenidos and Minas de Oro Nacional.

On December 16, 2002, National Gold and Alamos Minerals entered into an Amalgamation Agreement pursuant to which the parties agreed to merge to form the Company on the basis of every two outstanding common shares of Alamos Minerals being exchanged for one common share of the Company, and every 2.352 outstanding common shares of National Gold being exchanged for one common share of the Company.

On January 30, 2003, National Gold entered into a guarantee with H. Morgan & Company pursuant to which National Gold guaranteed (the "Guarantee") the repayment of a Cdn.$5.7 million loan ("the Loan") to Alamos Minerals, which loan proceeds were used to make payments under the Asset Purchase Agreement. Further terms of the loan from H. Morgan & Company to Alamos Minerals are described under "Alamos Minerals (Predecessor of Alamos Gold Inc.) - Operations and Activities, 2002 - 2003".

On February 21, 2003, National Gold amalgamated with Alamos Minerals to form the Company, which resulted in the Company owning a 100% interest in the Salamandra Property.

Alamos Minerals (Predecessor of Alamos Gold Inc.) - Operations and Activities, 2002 - 2003

During the years 2002 to 2003, Alamos Minerals was involved primarily in mineral exploration projects in Mexico.

On October 17, 2001 Alamos Minerals obtained an option from National Gold to acquire a 50% interest in the Salamandra Property under the terms and conditions of the Joint Venture Agreement among Alamos Minerals, National Gold, Bienvenidos and Minas de Oro Nacional.

On January 31, 2003, Alamos Minerals obtained the Loan from H. Morgan & Company at a rate of 12% per annum. The proceeds of the Loan were used to make payments under the Asset Purchase Agreement relating to the Salamandra Property. On December 30, 2004, the Loan was repaid in full and all security in respect of the Loan has been released.

On December 16, 2002, National Gold and Alamos Minerals entered into an Amalgamation Agreement pursuant to which the parties agreed to merge to form the Company on the basis of every two outstanding common shares of Alamos Minerals being be exchanged for one common share of the Company, and every 2.352 outstanding common shares of National Gold were being exchanged for one common share of the Company.

On February 21, 2003, National Gold amalgamated with Alamos Minerals to form the Company, which resulted in the Company owning a 100% interest in the Salamandra Property.

On August 21, 2003 the Company completed a private placement of 8.5 million units of the Company at a price of Cdn.$1.45 per unit each unit consisting of one common share and one half of one share purchase warrant with each whole warrant exercisable at a price of Cdn. $1.75 to purchase one additional common share of the Company. The Company received net proceeds of approximately Cdn.$11,460,000 from the sale of the units.

On April 13, 2004, the Company completed a private placement of 10.0 million units at Cdn.$3.00 per unit, each unit consisting of one common share and one-half share purchase warrant, each whole warrant exercisable to purchase one additional common share at Cdn.$3.50 per share for a period of two years. The Company received net proceeds of approximately Cdn.$28,200,000 in connection with the private placement.

On May 27, 2004 the Company reached a new surface rights agreement (the "New Surface Agreement") with the Ejido. The New Surface Agreement is required in order for the Company to hold surface rights for the development of certain mineral concessions on the Salamadra Property and enables the Company to locate the crushing plant, waste dumps, recovery plant, and heap leach pad sites. The New Surface Agreement enables the Company to perform different mining works and activities and set up the infrastructure required for the Company's exploration and exploitation of the mining concessions. The New Surface Agreement, which was approved on May 27, 2004 by the Agrarian Court for the State of Sonora, supersedes the 1995 Surface Agreement. The Company is no longer bound by the 1995 Surface Agreement.

The New Surface Agreement provides, among other things, for the lease of 1,200 hectares of land for an initial term of eight years with an option to extend the term for further ten year term. If the 1,200 hectares of land are divided into parcels and the Ejido assigns their rights to individual possessors of the land, the New Surface Agreement grants the right to Minas de Oro Nacional to negotiate for the purchase of this land from or negotiate a lease with the individual possessors.

On May 27, 2004 the Company also entered into a settlement agreement (the "Settlement Agreement") with the Ejido, to settle two outstanding appeals by the Company to a legal action by the Ejido disputing the 1995 Surface Agreement, the annual surface rights lease payments due to them in respect of the Salamandra Property and the ability of the Company to reduce the annual lease payments. The Settlement Agreement is binding on all members of the Ejido and precludes the Ejido, its lawyers, individual Ejidatarios or their legal representatives from commencing any legal action against Minera de Oro Nacional or the Company over land issues covered thereby.

On June 1, 2004, M3 Engineering finalized the 2004 Feasibility Study and on July 14, 2004, M3 Engineering completed the M3 July 14, 2004 Report with the main objective of providing the Company with an independent opinion regarding the potential development of the Estrella Pit portion of the Mulatos Deposit.

On June 21, 2004, the Company's common shares were listed and posted for trading on the TSX under the stock symbol "AGI" and were delisted from trading on the TSXV.

On November 2, 2004, the Company closed a public offering of 10 million Common Shares at a purchase price of Cdn$3.00 per share (including 2 million shares issued upon the exercise of the underwriters' over-allotment option) raising net proceeds to the Company of Cdn$28.5 million.

On November 15, 2004, the Company reported that the Salamandra group of concessions has been increased by over forty square kilometers to acquire additional strategic properties in the Mulatos district. A key parcel was the recent acquisition of 100% interest in the 1,672 hectare Puebla concession offered by the Consejo de Recuros Minerales (CONSEJO). The Puebla consession is located 14 kilometers northwest of the Mulatos deposit and contains several highly altered and mineralized areas with geologic characteristics similar to those of the Mulatos deposit. The Puebla concession has not been previously drill-tested. A concession covering the historic El Realito gold mine was also acquired in a separate transaction. Total Alamos land holdings are now 21,309 hectares. This is an increase of 5,000 hectares beyond the original land package acquired from Placer Dome.

On November 29, 2004, the Company announced the results of a fourteen-hole (2,235m) reverse circulation drilling program on its 100% owned El Realito project, located 14 kilometres northwest of the Mulatos deposit. It was the first project drilled of nine defined target areas outside of the immediate Mulatos deposit area, and the first drilling program completed on the El Realito property. Nine of the fourteen holes drilled encountered significant intercepts of oxidized gold mineralization but will require further follow up work by the Company.

The Company completed an acquisition of a 17,500 tonne per day three stage crushing plant from Kennecott Minerals Corporation for a purchase price of $1 million and certain other equipment in a separate transaction in the second and third fiscal quarters of 2004.

On February 2, 2005, the Company completed a financing of Cdn. $50 million aggregate principal amount of 5.5% convertible senior debentures (the "Debentures") due February 15, 2010. The Debentures bear interest at a rate of 5.5% per annum, and are convertible at the option of the holder into common shares of the Company at a conversion rate of 188.6792 common shares per Cdn. $1,000 principal amount of Debentures, which is equal to a conversion price of approximately Cdn. $5.30 per common share. The Company received net proceeds of approximately Cdn. $48,250,000 in connection with the Debenture financing, of which Cdn. $2,848,000 is being held in escrow for one year on account of interest payments payable in respect of the Debentures.

During the current financial year, the Company plans to continue the development of the open pit, heap leach gold mine for the Estrella Pit portion of the Mulatos Deposit and the exploration and development of its Salamandra Property, which will include 8,000 meters of drilling adjacent to the Estrella pit and 4,000 meters of step-out and confirmation drilling. The total expected cost of bringing the Estrella Pit to production is approximately $73 million, of which approximately $22.8 million was expended by the Company as at December 31, 2004. The Company anticipates gold production at the Estrella Pit to commence in the third fiscal quarter of 2005 with a mining rate of 10,000 tonnes of ore per day achieved by year end. Gold production is expected to reach 150,000 ounces per year in the first three years of operation at a projected cash operating cost of $174 per ounce.

The Company may continue to negotiate and acquire other mineral properties in addition to the Salamandra Property which may be located in Mexico and elsewhere. Also, depending upon the Company's ability to continue to obtain necessary funding to conduct exploration and development activities on its mineral properties and results from its exploration and development activities, it may consider farming-out, disposing or abandoning any of these properties.

The Company is a development stage company that is in the business of acquiring, exploring and developing mineral resource properties principally in Mexico. The Company is currently developing a portion of the Mulatos Deposit which is located on the Salamandra Property to bring it into commercial production. The Company is also conducting further exploration activities on the remainder of the Salamandra Property.

The economics of developing mineral properties are effected by many factors, including the cost of operations, variations of grade of ore discovered, fluctuations in metal prices, goods and services, and such other factors as government regulations, including regulations relating to royalties, allowable production, importing and exporting goods and services and environmental regulations. Depending on the price of minerals discovered and potentially mined, the Company may determine it is neither profitable nor competitive to acquire or develop properties, or commence or continue commercial production.

The Salamandra Property, the Company's principal project, is located in Mexico. The Mulatos Deposit located on the Salamandra Property is being developed as a gold mine. Mineral rights for all concessions comprising the Salamandra Property are controlled by Minas de Oro Nacional, S.A. de C.V. ("Minas de Oro Nacional"), a Mexican company which is wholly owned by the Company.

On June 1, 2004, M3 Engineering, the Company's independent consultants, completed the 2004 Feasibility Study entitled "Mulatos Feasibility Study Phase One - Estrella Pit" with the main objective of providing the Company with an independent opinion regarding the potential development of the Estrella Pit portion of the Mulatos Deposit. The 2004 Feasibility Study recommended a development decision for the Estrella Pit portion of the Mulatos Deposit. Under the 2004 Feasibility Study, the recommended first phase of the Mulatos Deposit development will involve the Estrella Pit, which contains estimated proven and probable reserves of 36.4 million tonnes at a grade of 1.64 grams of gold per tonne, representing approximately 2 million contained ounces of gold from which the Company expects to recover 1.4 million ounces in an open pit heap leach operation. Mine production of ore is scheduled to commence in the third quarter of 2005 at a mining rate of 10,000 tonnes per day and production is expected to reach 150,000 ounces of gold per year in the first three years at a projected cash operating cost of $174 per ounce. The Estrella Pit has a projected mine life of 10.5 years.

The Company is continuing to pursue the development of the Estrella Pit of the Mulatos Deposit. Work in the first half of 2005 will include erection of the carbon plant, completion of the leach pad, erection of the crusher and other associated buildings. Gold production is scheduled for the third quarter of 2005.

See "Narrative Description of the Business - The Salamandra Property" and the Engineering Report by M3 Engineering entitled "Technical Report - The Estrella Pit Development Mulatos Sonora Mexico" dated June 17, 2004 (as revised on July 14, 2004), which provides additional details concerning the Salamandra Property and summarizes the results of the 2004 Feasibility Study.

As of December 31, 2004, the Company had six full time employees, of which five are based in Toronto and one is based in Arizona. The Company employed additional full-time or part-time employees or consultants during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004 and engaged a service company in Mexico to provide other labour-related services to assist the Company with the ongoing operations at the Salamandra Property in Mexico.

The financing and exploration and development of any of the Company's properties is subject to a number of factors including the price of gold, laws and regulations, political conditions, currency fluctuations and hiring qualified people and obtaining necessary services in jurisdictions where the Company operates. The current trends relating to these factors are favourable but could change at any time and negatively affect the company's operations and business.

The following is a brief discussion of those distinctive or special characteristics of the Company's operations and industry which may have a material impact on, or constitute risk factors in respect of the Company's future financial performance:

The Company's properties are located in Mexico and are subject to changes in political conditions and regulations in that country

In the past, Mexico has been subject to political instability, changes and uncertainties, which may cause changes to existing governmental regulations affecting mineral exploration and mining activities. The Company's operations and properties are subject to a variety of governmental regulations including, among others: regulations promulgated by SEMARNAP, Mexico's environmental protection agency; the Mexican Mining Law; and the regulations of the Comision National del Aqua with respect to water rights. Mexican regulators have broad authority to shut down and/or levy fines against facilities that do not comply with regulations or standards. The Company' mineral exploration and mining activities in Mexico may be adversely affected in varying degrees by changing government regulations relating to the mining industry or shifts in political conditions that increase the costs related to the Company activities or maintaining its properties. Operations may also be affected in varying degrees by government regulations with respect to restrictions on production, price controls, export controls, income taxes, expropriation of property, environmental legislation and mine safety. Mexico's status as a developing country may make it more difficult for the Company to obtain any required financing for its projects.

The business of exploration for minerals and mining involves a high degree of risk, as few properties that are explored are ultimately developed into producing mines

Unusual or unexpected formations, formation pressures, fires, power outages, labour disruptions, flooding, explorations, cave-ins, landslides and the inability to obtain suitable adequate machinery, equipment or labour are other risks involved in the operation of mines and the conduct of exploration programs. The Company has relied on and may continue to rely upon consultants and others for exploration and development expertise. Substantial expenditures are required to establish ore reserves through drilling, to develop metallurgical processes to extract the metal from the ore and, in the case of new properties, to develop the mining and processing facilities and infrastructure at any site chosen for mining. Although substantial benefits may be derived from the discovery of a major mineral deposit, the Company may not be able to raise sufficient funds for development. The economics of developing gold, copper and other mineral properties is affected by many factors including the cost of operations, variations in the grade of ore mined, fluctuations in metal markets, costs of processing equipment and such other factors as government regulations, including regulations relating to royalties, allowable production, importing and exporting of minerals and environmental protection. The Company does not have producing mines at this time. Properties on which mineral reserves are not found will have to be discarded causing the Company to write each respective property off thus sustaining a loss.

The mineral reserves and resource estimates contained or incorporated by reference in this AIF are estimates only and no assurance can be given that any particular level of recovery of minerals will in fact be realized or that an identified reserve or resource will ever qualify as a commercially mineable (or viable) deposit which can be legally and economically exploited. In addition, the grade of mineralization ultimately mined may differ from that indicated by drilling results and such differences could be material. Production can be affected by such factors as permitting regulations and requirements, weather, environmental factors, unforeseen technical difficulties, unusual or unexpected geological formations, inaccurate or incorrect geologic, metallurgical or engineering work, and work interruptions, among other things. Short term factors, such as the need for orderly development of deposits or the processing of new or different grades, may have an adverse effect on mining operations or the results of operations. There can be no assurance that minerals recovered in small scale laboratory tests will be duplicated in large scale tests under on-site conditions or in production scale operations. Material changes in reserves or resources, grades, stripping ratios or recovery rates may affect the economic viability of projects. The estimated reserves and resources described herein should not be interpreted as assurances of mine life or of the profitability of future operations.

The Company has engaged expert independent technical consultants to advise it with respect to mineral reserves and resources and project engineering, among other things. The Company believes that those experts are competent and that they have carried out their work in accordance with all internationally recognized industry standards. However, if the work conducted by those experts is ultimately found to be incorrect or inadequate in any material respect, Alamos may experience delays and increased costs in developing the Salamandra Property.

Problems with title to mineral properties could have a negative impact on the Company's future operations

The acquisition of the right to exploit mineral properties is a detailed and time-consuming process. Although, the Company is satisfied it has taken reasonable measures to ensure an unencumbered right to exploit the Salamandra Property, no assurance can be given that such claims are not subject to prior unregistered agreements or interests or to undetected or other claims or interests which could be material and adverse to the Company.

While the Company has entered into the New Surface Agreement with Ejido Mulatos and has entered into agreements to purchase all of the surface rights covered by that agreement from the individual Ejido members to whom they have been assigned, the transfers of title to these surface rights are currently being registered under Mexican law. The registration process is a lengthy one and until title to the properties is registered in the Company's name, the Company cannot be certain of enjoying undisputed rights to the surface rights or that registration will be completed as planned or at all.

Mexico is a developing country and obtaining financing or finding or hiring qualified people or obtaining all necessary services for the Company's operations in Mexico may be difficult

The Company's principal project is the Salamandra Property in Mexico which is a developing country and it may be difficult for the Company to obtain necessary financing for its planned exploration or development activities in Mexico. The Company also plans to hire some of its employees or consultants in Mexico to assist the Company to conduct its operations in accordance with local laws in Mexico. The Company also plans to purchase certain supplies and retain the services of various companies in Mexico to meet its future business plans. It may be difficult to find or hire qualified people in the mining industry who are situated in Mexico or to obtain all of the necessary services or expertise in Mexico or to conduct operations on its projects at reasonable rates. If qualified people and services or expertise cannot be obtained in Mexico, the Company may need to seek and obtain those services from people located outside of Mexico which will require work permits and compliance with applicable laws and could result in delays and higher costs to the Company to conduct its operations in Mexico.

If the Company is not able to comply with all Mexican laws and regulations, this could negatively impact current or planned exploration and development activities on its Salamandra Property

The Company's exploration and development activities are subject to extensive laws and regulations governing health and worker safety, employment standards, waste disposal, protection of historic and archaeological sites, mine development and protection of endangered and protected species and other matters. Specifically, the Company activities related to its Salamandra Property are subject to regulation by SEMARNAP, the environmental protection agency of Mexico, Comision National del Aqua ("CAN"), which regulates water rights, and the Mexican Mining Law. A number of other approvals, licenses and permits are required for various aspects of mine development. The most significant permits for the development of the Salamandra Property, other than SEMARNAP approval, are permits to extract water from the Rio Mulatos and a blasting permit, issued by the Mexican Army, to purchase, store and use explosives. Obtaining and maintaining the necessary permits are critical to the

Company's business. The Company has obtained the blasting permit and the approval by the CAN of an agreement to acquire surface water rights. The Company is uncertain if all necessary permits will be maintained on acceptable terms or in a timely manner. Future changes in applicable laws and regulations or changes in their enforcement or regulatory interpretation could negatively impact current or planned exploration and development activities on its Salamandra Property or in any other projects that the Company becomes involved. Any failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations or failure to obtain or maintain permits, even if inadvertent, could result in the interruption of exploration and development operations or material fines, penalties or other liabilities.

The Company's activities on the Salamandra Property are subject to environmental regulations

The operations of the Company are subject to environmental regulations promulgated by government agencies from time to time. Specifically, the Company activities related to its Salamandra Property are subject to regulation by SEMARNAP, the environmental protection agency of Mexico. Regulations require that an environmental impact statement, known in Mexico as a Manifesto Impacto Ambiental, be prepared by a third-party contractor for submittal to SEMARNAP. Studies required to support the Manifesto Impacto Ambiental include a detailed analysis of the following areas: soil, water, vegetation, wildlife, cultural resources and socio-economic impacts. The Company must also provide proof of local community support for a project to gain final Manifesto Impacto Ambiental approval. Environmental legislation provides for restrictions and prohibitions on spills, releases or emissions of various substances produced in association with certain mining industry operations, such as seepage from tailings disposal areas, which would result in environmental pollution. A breach of such legislation may result in imposition of fines and penalties. In addition, certain types of operations require the submission and approval of environmental impact assessments. Environmental legislation is evolving in a manner which means stricter standards, and enforcement, fines and penalties for non-compliance are more stringent. Environmental assessments of proposed projects carry a heightened degree of responsibility for companies and directors, officers and employees. The cost of compliance with changes in governmental regulations has a potential to reduce the profitability of operations.

The volatility of the price of gold could have a negative impact on the Company's future operations

The commercial feasibility of the Company's properties and its ability to raise funding to conduct its planned exploration projects is dependent on the price of gold and other precious metals. The price of gold may also have a significant influence on the market price of the Company's common shares and the value of the Company's properties. A reduction in the price of gold may prevent the Company's properties from being economically mined or result in the write-off of assets whose value is impaired as a result of low gold prices.

The price of gold is affected by numerous factors beyond the Company's control, such as the level of inflation, fluctuation of the United States Dollar and foreign currencies, global and regional demand, sale of gold by central banks and the political and economic conditions of major gold producing countries throughout the world. Recently the price of gold has partially recovered from a 20 year low. As of December 31, 2004, the closing price for gold was US$409.72 per ounce. The following table sets forth the approximate average of the daily closing price for gold during the calendar periods indicated as reported by the National Mining Assocation:

Based upon the estimated capital expenditures set out in the Engineering Report by M3 Engineering entitled "Technical Report - The Estrella Pit Development Mulatos Sonora Mexico" dated June 17, 2004 (as revised on July 14, 2004), the existing financial resources of the Company are expected to be sufficient to bring the Salamandra Property into commercial production. However, if the actual capital expenditures incurred by the Company exceed those budgeted amounts, the Company may need to obtain additional financing from external sources in order to fund the development of the Salamandra Property. If required, there is no assurance that the Corporation will be able to obtain such other financing on favourable terms, or at all. Failure to obtain the financing if required could result in delay or indefinite postponement of further exploration and development of the Salamandra Property.

The Company is in competition with other mining companies that have greater resources and experience

The Company's business is intensely competitive, and the Company competes with other mining companies, many of which have greater resources and experience. Competition in the precious metals mining industry is primarily for mineral rich properties which can be developed and produced economically; the technical expertise to find, develop, and produce such properties; the labour to operate the properties; and the capital for the purpose of financing development of such properties. Many competitors not only explore for and mine precious metals, but conduct refining and marketing operations on a world- wide basis and some of these companies have much greater financial and technical resources than the Company. Such competition may result in the Company being unable to acquire desired properties, recruit or retain qualified employees or acquire the capital necessary to fund its operations and develop its properties. The Company's inability to compete with other mining companies for these mineral deposits could have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operation and business.

The Company is subject to currency fluctuations that may adversely affect the financial position of the Company

The Company's functional currency is the United States dollar, which has been subject to recent fluctuations. The Company operations are located in Mexico and many of its obligations are in pesos. The Company maintains its principal office in Canada, maintains cash accounts in U.S. dollars and Canadian dollars and has obligations in both U.S. and Canadian dollars. The currency exchange rate between U.S. dollars and Canadian dollars fluctuated between US$0.7156 to US$0.8491 for one Canadian dollar in 2004 and US$0.6197 to US$0.7342 for one Canadian dollar in 2003. As such, the Company's results of operations are subject to foreign currency fluctuation risks and such fluctuations may adversely affect the financial position and results of the Company.

The Company is dependent on key personnel and the absence of any of these individuals could result in a significantly negative effect on the Company

The Company strongly depends on the business and technical expertise of its management and key personnel. There is little possibility that this dependence will decrease in the near term. As the Company's operations expand, additional general management resources will be required, especially since the Company encounters risks that are inherent in doing business in several countries. The Company is dependent, in particular, on its President and Chief Executive Officer, John McCluskey and its Chief of Operations, John Van De Beuken. Key man life insurance is not in place on Messrs. McCluskey or Van De Beuken. If the services of the Company's management and key personnel were lost, it could have a material adverse effect on future operations.

Substantially all of the Company's assets are located outside of Canada, and are held indirectly through foreign affiliates

It may be difficult or impossible to enforce judgments obtained in Canadian courts predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of certain provinces against the portion of the Company's assets located outside of Canada.

Incorporated by reference into this AIF as indicated below are certain sections of the M3 July 14, 2004 Report entitled "Technical Report - The Estrella Pit Development Mulatos Sonora Mexico" dated June 17, 2004 (as revised on July 14, 2004) which provide additional details concerning the Salamandra Property in addition to the information set out below. A copy of the M3 July 14, 2004 Report may be obtained from SEDAR, under the Company's name, at www.sedar.com.

The following section entitled "Summary" is "Item 3 - Summary" taken from the M3 July 14, 2004 Report, and includes notes providing updates where applicable.

The Salamandra Property, which encompasses a total of approximately 19,634⁽¹⁾ ha, is located in the Sierra Madre Occidental mountain range in the east central portion of the State of Sonora, Mexico. The property is located approximately 220 km by air east of the city of Hermosillo, and 300-km south of the border with the United States of America.

Since the date of the M3 July 14, 2004 Report, the Company has acquired the 1,672 ha Puebla concession and the Salamandra Property now encompasses a total of approximately 21,300 ha. See "General Development of the Business".

The Salamandra Property consists of the Mulatos deposit and eight satellite gold systems known as El Halcon, La Yaqui, Los Bajios, El Jaspe, Cerro Pelon, El Victor/San Carlos, La Dura, and El Carricito. Mineral rights for all concessions comprising the Salamandra Property are controlled by Minas de Oro Nacional, S.A. de C.V., a Mexican company, wholly owned by Alamos Gold, Inc. a British Columbia corporation. A net smelter return royalty (i.e., the Placer Kennecott Royalty) is also due to the Placer Dome/Kennecott consortium on the first 2,000,000 ounces of product.⁽¹⁾

Since the date of the M3 July 14, 2004 Report, the Salamandra Property now consists of nine satellite systems with the acquisition of a concession covering the El Realito zone. See "General Development of the Business".

The Salamandra mineral deposits are large epithermal, high-sulfidation, disseminated, gold deposits hosted within a mid-Tertiary dacite and rhyodacite dome complex. Gold mineralization is closely associated with silicic alteration. It also is associated with a large hydrothermal alteration zone that covers more than 10km². The Mulatos deposit is composed of subdeposits known as Estrella, Mina Vieja, Escondida, El Victor and San Carlos and hosts the only economic mineralization delineated to-date.

The exploration programs completed by Alamos, Placer Dome, Kennecott and Minera Real de Angles have delineated measured and indicated resources of 62.2 million metric tonnes @ 1.51 grams per metric tonne Au and 0.6 grams per metric tonne Ag, which contain 3,020,000 oz of Gold and a small amount of silver.

These resources are contained in the Estrella, Mina Vieja and Escondida areas only of the Mulatos deposit. Gap, El Victor and San Carlos portions are not included. The area is similar to the Placer/ M3 studies of 1997 and 2000. The resource model is more conservative than Placers.

In addition to the Mulatos/El Victor zones, the eight satellite systems have known gold mineralization with varying levels of exploration investigation.⁽¹⁾

Since the date of the M3 July 14, 2004 Report, the Los Bajios and El Realito have been drill tested, the results of which were encouraging but will require further follow up work by the Company.

The Mulatos deposit and surrounding deposits are amenable to cyanidation and heap leaching, as determined by lab scale testing. Mineralized material varies from pure oxide to pure sulfide, with gold recovery typically decreasing from +90% to 55% as material grades from oxide to sulfide. The average recovery is estimated to be between 72 and 74% for the Estrella pit. Applying the modified recovery formulas to the block model has resulted in an estimated average recovery of 72.9%.

M3 has completed a Technical Report Entitled "The Estrella Pit Resource and Reserves" dated May 19, 2004 for Alamos Gold Inc. On June 1, 2004 M3 published the 2004 Feasibility Study for Alamos at a production rate of 10,000 M.T.P.D. to a heap leach pad based on 350 operating days per year.

The previously reported sum of the proven and probable open pit reserve was 37.5 Mt @ 1.61 g/t Au using an internal cutoff grade which varies by ore type from 0.34 g/t in the oxide to 0.63 g/t in the silicified ore type.

A mine production schedule has been developed with an elevated cutoff grade strategy in the early years. This approach improves the cash flow of the project. There is no stockpiling of the low grade currently planned. The sum of the mine plan reserve is:

*The Company has proceeded on the basis of a 100% equity contribution to date. Accordingly, the project economics based on 50% Alamos Equity described in the M3 July 14, 2004 Report is not currently applicable.

*The Company has proceeded on the basis of a 100% equity contribution to date. Accordingly, the project economics based on a 50% capital Equity Contribution by Alamos described in the M3 July 14, 2004 Report is not currently applicable.

Acid rock drainage potential has been identified. Measures to prevent acid rock drainage have been incorporated.

Mexican norms, World Bank Guidelines and "Equatorial Principles" have been followed.

The nearby village of Mulatos should be largely protected from noise, dust, vibration and fly rock by the Mina Vieja outcrop which will not be mined at this stage. Money is provided for the installation of water, sewer and power to the village.

The Salamandra Property is located in the Sierra Madre Occidental mountain range in the east central portion of the State of Sonora, Mexico. The Company controls the Salamandra claim block and several other large concessions, which are located mostly to the west of the Mulatos deposit. A total of 21,300 hectares of mineral concessions are controlled by the Company. The above areas were awarded by the Mexican Department of Economy Direcion General of Mines ("SEMARNAP"). The property is approximately 220 km by air east of the city of Hermosillo, and 300-km south of the border with the United States of America.

Surface rights in the exploitation area are held privately and by the Mexican Government through the "Ejido Mulatos". On May 27, 2004, the Company through its Mexican subsidiary Minas de Oro Nacional reached the New Surface Agreement with the Ejido. The New Surface Agreement is required in order for the Company to hold surface rights for the development of certain mineral concessions on the Salamandra Property and enables the Company to locate the crushing plant, waste dumps, recovery plant, and heap leach pad sites at the Salamandra Property . The New Surface Agreement will enable Minas de Oro Nacional perform different mining works and activities and set up the infrastructure required for the Company's exploration and exploitation of the mining concessions. The New Surface Agreement, which was approved on May 27, 2004 by the Agrarian Court for the State of Sonora, supersedes the 1995 Surface Agreement.

The New Surface Agreement provides, among other things, for the lease of 1,200 hectares of land for an initial term of eight years with an option to extend the term for further ten year term. If the 1,200 hectares of land are divided into parcels and the Ejido assign their rights to individual possessors of the land, the New Surface Agreement grants the right to Minas de Oro Nacional to negotiate for the purchase of this land from or negotiate a lease with the individual possessors.

The Company, through its inactive subsidiaries Durango and La Fortuna, also owns a 100% interest in the La Fortuna property in the State of Durango, Mexico, which is comprised of three mineral concessions and covers approximately 606 hectares. Alamos Minerals did not conduct any exploration work on this property after 1998, and during its fiscal year ended December 31, 2000, Alamos Minerals reduced the size of its property interest in the La Fortuna property to its current size of 606 hectares allowing certain mining claims to lapse. Accordingly, Alamos Minerals wrote down the value of the La Fortuna property to US$1 million. The Company has no current intention to conduct further exploration work on this property and may consider disposing of this property in the future.

The Company has not paid any dividends since the date of its Amalgamation and has no present intention of paying dividends on its common shares. The Company anticipates that it will retain all future earnings and other cash resources for the future operation and development of its business. Payment of any future dividends will be at the discretion of the Company's board of directors, after taking into account many factors, including the Company's operating results, financial condition and current and anticipated cash needs.

The Company's authorized capital consists of one class of common shares without par value (the "Common Shares"). The Company is authorized to issue an unlimited number of Common Shares. Each Common Share is entitled to one vote. As at December 31, 2004, 76,777,918 Common Shares were issued and outstanding.

All of the Company's Common Shares are of the same class and rank equally as to voting rights, dividends and participation in assets of the Company on winding-up or dissolution. There are no pre-emptive rights or conversion rights, and no provisions for redemption or purchase for cancellation, surrender, or sinking or purchase funds, except that the Company's articles provide that the Company may, if authorized by a resolution of the directors, purchase or otherwise acquire any of its shares at the price and upon the terms specified in such resolution and subject to the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia). Provisions as to creation, modification, amendment or variation of such rights or such provisions are contained in the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia).

Subject to the provisions of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia), the board of directors of the Company may declare dividends payable to the Company's shareholders according to their respective rights and interest in the Company. Dividends may be paid in money or property or by issuing fully paid common shares of the Company. See "Dividends".

The Company has issued $50 million aggregate principal amount of convertible unsecured subordinated debentures (the "Debentures") due February 15, 2010. The Debentures bear interest at an annual rate of 5.50%, payable semi-annually on February 15 and August 15 of each year, and are convertible at the option of the holder at any time prior to the close of business on the earlier of the business day immediately preceding the maturity date or, if called for redemption, on the business day immediately preceding the date fixed for redemption, at a conversion price of approximately Cdn$5.30 per Common Share, which is equivalent to 188.6792 Common Shares for each Cdn$1,000 principal amount of Debentures, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances. The Debentures are governed by the provisions of the Indenture between the Company and Pacific Corporate Trust Company (the "Trustee") dated February 2, 2005.

The Indenture provides for the adjustment of the conversion price upon certain events, including, (i) the subdivision or consolidation of the outstanding Common Shares, (ii) the distribution by the Company of Common Shares or other securities by way of a stock dividend or otherwise, and (iii) the distribution of rights, options or warrants to all or substantially all of the holders of Common Shares rights entitling such holders to purchase Common Shares at a certain discount from the market price in certain circumstances.

The Debentures are not redeemable prior to February 15, 2008. On and after February 15, 2008, the Debentures may be redeemed at the option of the Company, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, on not more than 60 days' and not less than 30 days' prior notice at a redemption price equal to their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon up to (but excluding) the Redemption Date, if any, provided that the Weighted Average Trading Price of the Common Shares on a Recognized Stock Exchange for the 20 consecutive Trading Days ending five Trading Days prior to the date on which notice of redemption is at least 125% of the Conversion Price.

In the case of redemption of less than all of the Debentures, the Debentures to be redeemed will be selected by the Trustee on a pro rata basis or in such other manner as the Trustee deems equitable, subject to regulatory approvals.

"Recognized Stock Exchange" means the TSX or any other stock exchange on which the Common Shares are then listed.

"Redemption Date" means the later of (i) February 15, 2008 and (ii) the date selected by the Company for redemption.

Additional information relating to the Company is available under the Company's profile on the SEDAR website at www.sedar.com. Financial information relating to Alamos Gold Inc. is provided in the Company's comparative consolidated financial statements and management's discussion and analysis for the most recent fiscal year.

Additional information, including directors and officers' remuneration and indebtedness, principal holders of the Company's securities and securities authorized for issuance under equity compensation plans, if applicable, is contained in the Company's information circular dated May 12, 2004 for its annual and special general meeting of shareholders that was held on June 21, 2004, and once completed, more updated information will be available in its information circular for its upcoming annual general meeting of shareholders for 2005.

Shareholders may obtain a copy of the Company's financial statements and management's discussion and analysis upon request to the Company at Suite 1503, 110 Yonge Street, Toronto, Ontario M5C 1T4.

Upon request made by any person to the Secretary of the Company, the Company shall provide to that person the following:

when the securities of the Company are in the course of a distribution under a preliminary short form prospectus or a short form prospectus,

one copy of this AIF and if specifically requested, one copy of any document or the pertinent pages of any document, incorporated by reference in this AIF;

one copy of the Company's comparative financial statements for its most recently completed financial year, together with the accompanying report of the auditor, and one copy of any interim financial statements of the Company subsequent to the financial statements for the most recently completed financial year;

one copy of the information circular of the Company in respect of its most recent annual meeting of shareholders that involved the election of directors; and

one copy of any other documents that are incorporated by reference into the preliminary short form prospectus or short form prospectus;

at any other time, one copy of any documents referred to in clauses (a)(1), (2) and (3). The Company may require the payment of a reasonable charge for the documents set out in (1), (2), (3) and (4) above, if the request is made by a person who is not a security holder of the Company.

The consolidated financial statements of Alamos Gold Inc. have been prepared by, and are the responsibility of the Company's management.

The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Canada and reflect management's best estimates and judgments on information currently available. In the opinion of management, the accounting practices utilized are appropriate in the circumstances and the financial statements fairly reflect the financial position and results of operations of the Company within reasonable limits of materiality.

Management has developed and is maintaining a system of internal controls to obtain reasonable assurance that the Company's assets are safeguarded, transactions are authorized, and financial information is reliable. All internal control systems have inherent limitations, including the possibility of circumvention and overriding of controls, and, therefore, can provide only reasonable assurance as to financial statement preparation and safeguarding of assets.

The Board of Directors is responsible for ensuring management fulfills its responsibilities. The Audit Committee meets with the Company's management and external auditors to discuss the results of the audit and to review the annual consolidated financial statements prior to the Audit Committee's submission to the Board of Directors for approval. The Audit Committee also reviews the quarterly financial statements and recommends them for approval to the Board of Directors, reviews with management the systems of internal control and security, and approves the scope of the external auditors audit and non-audit work. The Audit Committee is composed entirely of directors not involved in the daily operations of the Company and thus are considered to be free from any relationship that could interfere with the exercise of independent judgment as a Committee member.

The 2004 consolidated financial statements have been audited by Ernst & Young, LLP, Chartered Accountants and their report outlines the scope of their examination and gives their opinion on the consolidated financial statements.

We have audited the consolidated balance sheet of Alamos Gold Inc. [the "Company"] as at December 31, 2004 and the consolidated statement of earnings, retained earnings and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.

In our opinion, these consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2004, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.

The financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2003 were audited by other auditors who expressed an opinion without reservation on these statements in their report dated April 20, 2004.

In the United States, reporting standards for auditors require the addition of an explanatory paragraph (following the opinion paragraph) when the financial statements are affected by conditions and events that cast substantial doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, such as those described in note 1 to the financial statements. Our report to the shareholders dated March 25, 2005, is expressed in accordance with Canadian reporting standards which do not require a reference to such events and conditions in the Auditor's report when these are adequately disclosed in the financial statements.

Alamos Gold Inc. and its subsidiaries ("the Company") are in the development stage. The Company is engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral rights that are considered sites of potential economic mineralization. The Company's principal mineral rights interest is in the Mulatos deposit and an additional eight satellite gold systems identified to date which together comprise the 21,300 hectare Salamandra Property in Sonora, Mexico. The Mulatos deposit contains economically recoverable reserves which the Company intends to develop and exploit.

The Company has not yet generated cash flow from operations to fund its exploration and development activities and has therefore relied principally upon the issuance of equity securities for financing. The Company intends to continue relying upon the issuance of securities to finance its operations and exploration activities to the extent such instruments are issuable under terms acceptable to the Company. Accordingly, the Company's financial statements are presented on a going concern basis, which assumes that the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations. If future financing is unavailable, the Company may not be able to meet its ongoing obligations, in which case the realizable values of its assets may decline materially from current estimates.

Subsequent to December 31, 2004, the Company completed a CDN$50 million convertible debenture financing, which the Company believes will provide it with sufficient incremental funds to complete the development of the Mulatos deposit, at a capital cost of $72.3 million, as outlined in the June 2004 Estrella Pit Development Feasibility Study.

The Company acquired and amalgamated with National Gold Corporation ("National") on February 21, 2003, whereby the shareholders of the Company received one share of the amalgamated Company for every two shares of the Company held, and the shareholders of National received one share of the amalgamated Company for each 2.352 shares of National they held. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase of National by the Company.

These consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") in Canada and presented in United States dollars. Summarized below are those policies considered particularly significant to the Company. References to the Company included herein are inclusive of the Canadian parent company and its consolidated subsidiaries.

Canadian GAAP may differ materially from generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. A reconciliation of important differences between Canadian and United States GAAP is contained in Note 19.

The comparative consolidated financial statements have been reclassified from statements previously presented to conform to the presentation of the current year consolidated financial statements.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires that management make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues earned and expenses incurred during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Unproven mineral properties consist of acquisition costs and capitalized direct exploration expenditures on properties which do not have commercially proven economic mineral reserves. These costs are deferred until such time as the related property is placed into production, sold or abandoned.

The Company reviews its capitalized costs on unproven mineral properties on an annual basis, or more frequently if events warrant, and will recognize an impairment in value to the extent that the carrying amount of the property exceed the estimated recoverable amount, based upon known exploration results and upon management's assessment of the economic viability of the property.

Mineral property under development consists of acquisition costs and capitalized direct exploration and development expenditures, including interest reasonably relating to project development, on properties which have commercially proven economic mineral reserves. These costs are deferred until such time as the related property is placed into production, and subsequently amortized on a unit-of-production basis over the estimated useful life of the mineral reserves.

The Company reviews its capitalized costs on mineral property under development on an annual basis, or more frequently if events warrant, and will recognize an impairment in value on each property to the extent that the recoverable amount based on estimated future cash flows on an undiscounted basis is less than the

carrying amount of the property. Future cash flows are estimated based on future recoverable minerals based on proven and probable mineral reserves. Future cash flow estimates will also incorporate expected sales prices for recoverable minerals, costs of production and taxes, capital expenditures and development costs, remediation and closure costs, utilizing assumptions from its feasibility studies and subsequent engineering, geological or financial information where operations have not yet commenced.

The recoverable amounts for mineral properties is dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable reserves; the acquisition and maintenance of appropriate permits, licenses and rights; the ability of the Company to obtain financing to complete the development of the properties where necessary and upon future profitable production or alternatively, upon the Company's ability to recover its spent costs through a disposition of its interests. The amounts recorded as mineral properties reflect actual costs incurred and are not intended to express present or future values.

Equipment is recorded at cost and is amortized over its estimated useful economic life using annual rates of 20% for office equipment and between 10% and 20% on a straight-line basis for mining and exploration equipment.

The United States dollar is the functional currency of all the Company's operations. Monetary assets and liabilities of the Company which are denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the year end exchange rate. Revenues and expenses are translated at rates of exchange prevailing in the transaction period. All exchange gains and losses are included in the determination of net income.

Cash and cash equivalents, which include cash and highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, are recorded at cost, which approximates market value.

Short-term investments include notes with an original maturity of one year or less. Short-term investments are recorded at cost which approximates market value. The Company invests with high credit quality financial institutions.

The Company's financial instruments consist of monetary assets and liabilities, the fair value of which approximate their carrying value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The Company does not use financial instruments to manage exposures to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates, interest rates or metal prices.

The Company accounts for future tax assets and liabilities using the liability method based on the temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Future tax assets and

liabilities are measured using tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be settled. The effect on future tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the date of the change. When the future realization of income tax assets does not meet the test of being more likely than not to occur, a valuation allowance in the amount of the potential future benefit is taken and no net asset is recognized. Such an allowance applies fully to all potential income tax assets of the Company.

The Company's accounting policy for future income taxes currently has no effect on the financial statements of any of the fiscal years presented.

The Company has a stock-based compensation plan as described in note 12. Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted the new accounting standard of the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants for accounting for stock-based compensation.

The Company has adopted the fair value method of accounting for all stock options granted whereby stock-based compensation on options granted is charged as an expense or capitalized depending on the nature of the grant, in the period the options are vested, based on the estimated fair value at the measurement date using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model. Prior to September 30, 2003, the Company only expensed the fair value of options granted to non-employees and disclosed those granted to all others on a proforma basis only. Consideration paid by option holders to the Company upon exercise of options is credited to common share capital.

On January 1, 2004, the Company adopted retroactively the new standards of the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants relating to asset retirement obligations. This standard requires the recognition of the fair value of liabilities for obligations associated with the retirement of an asset in the period during which they are incurred, providing it is possible to make a reasonable estimate of fair value. The fair value is added to the carrying amount of the associated asset, its mineral property under development, and amortized over the useful life of the property. The liability is accreted over time through periodic charges to earnings and it is reduced by actual costs of decommissioning and reclamation. The adoption of this standard had no impact on the Company's prior period financial situation or on its operating loss. Refer to Note 15.

Earnings per common share has been determined based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share is calculated using the treasury stock method to compute the dilutive effect of stock options and warrants.

The Company has a 100% interest in this property, which currently comprises approximately 21,300 hectares in Sonora, Mexico, in consideration for the payment of CDN$11,154,011 in initial acquisition costs and assigned expenses. The Salamandra property contains the Mulatos deposit and several other mineral targets currently being explored by the Company.

The rights are subject to a sliding scale net smelter royalty ("NSR") on the first 2,000,000 ounces of gold production from certain concessions within the Salamandra property acquired pursuant to the asset purchase agreement dated December 21, 2000. The royalty commences at 1.0% NSR in respect of gold and silver products mined and sold when the price of gold is less than $300 per ounce rising in increments to 5% NSR when the price of gold exceeds $400 per ounce.

The Company had entered into a joint venture agreement with National to earn a 50% interest in the property. Prior to earning its interest, the Company merged with National on February 21, 2003.

In June 2004, the Company completed a feasibility study on a portion of the Mulatos deposit known as the Estrella pit. The Company has received all requisite permits for construction and mine operation.

The Company owns a 100% interest in three mineral concessions, covering approximately 606 hectares.

The Company's short-term investments consist of a $15,000,000, 28-day term note maturing January 12, 2005, with an annualized yield of 2.278%, guaranteed by a Canadian chartered bank.

The Company had placed with the Agrarian Court certain letters of credit, secured with segregated funds, with a Canadian chartered bank in the amount of $681,347 in satisfaction of a judgment, pending appeal, against the Company resulting from the reduction of land-use under lease in the Mulatos project. Upon signing a new land purchase agreement with the owners in May, 2004, the owners settled the claim and the letters of credit were returned to the Company.

Directors of the Company were paid $475,723 during the year ended December 31, 2004 (2003: $172,138) through consulting or employment arrangements for management, investor relations and administrative services. These transactions have occurred in the normal course of operations and are measured at their fair value as determined by management.

The Company operates in one business segment, exploration and development of mineral properties, in two geographic areas, Canada and Mexico. Reconciliation of segment assets to total assets are as follows:

Loss per share has been calculated using the weight-average number of shares outstanding during the year of 62,202,713 (2003 - 39,838,848). Diluted loss per share has not been disclosed as it is anti-dilutive.

Authorized share capital of the Company consists of unlimited common shares without par value.

The Company has an incentive stock option plan, approved by the board on April 17, 2003, to allow the Company to grant up to 6,830,649 incentive stock options to its directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Company. The exercise price, term (not to exceed ten years) and vesting are determined by the board at the time of the grant, subject to concurrence by the Toronto Stock Exchange.

The Company has determined the value of stock-based compensation and allocated it as follows:

No cash is transferred upon the granting of stock options. The Company credits its contributed surplus account for the value of the grant.

The fair value of stock options granted in the calculation of compensation expense is estimated using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model with the following assumptions:

Option pricing models require the input of highly subjective assumptions, particularly as to the expected price volatility of the stock. Change in these assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate and therefore it is management's view that the existing models may not provide a single reliable measure of the fair value of the company's stock option grants.

The Company acquired on February 21, 2003, all of the outstanding shares of National, the Company's joint venture partner on the Salamandra property, by the issue of 13,467,795 shares of the Company valued at $8,000,000. The acquisition has been accounted by the purchase method and the operating results of National are included in the consolidated statement of operations from the effective date of the acquisition.

In January 2003 the Company issued a note in the amount of CDN$5.70 million maturing February 2009, bearing interest at 12% per annum and payable in full at the option of the Company after February 2005, or 50% thereof at anytime at the option of the Company. On January 31, 2003, CDN$5.60 million was used to prepay the CDN$7.50 million of debentures issued by National to acquire the Salamandra Project. These debentures were discounted to CDN$5.60 million upon prepayment. The Company repaid CDN$2.85 million of the note in September 2003. With concurrence of the lender, the Company repaid the balance of the note and accrued interest in the amount of CDN$3,163,500 in December 2004.

The Company's estimate of future asset retirement obligations is based on the estimated total future cost of decommissioning and reclamation costs for its Mulatos gold project, based on the areas disturbed to date times an expected average reclamation cost per hectare of disturbed land. The total estimated undiscounted cost is $160,000. The expected timing of payment of cash flows is based on life of mine plan, expected to be ten years. The credit adjusted discount rate applied to the undiscounted cash flows is 12.6%.

The following table shows the movement in the liability for asset retirement obligations.

The reconciliation of the expected tax recovery at statutory rate and provision for income tax recovery is:

Non-capital losses available in Canada to be utilized in subsequent years are $9 million expiring between 2005 and 2012. Losses in Mexico amount to approximately $10 million and expire over a 10-year period.

a) A claim has been made against the Company for damages under a mineral rights acquisition agreement that the Company did not complete. The plaintiff has claimed a loss of $105,000 and is also seeking 125,000 common shares of the Company. The Company denies the claim and has not made any provision for it in the financial statements. Any amount ultimately paid in connection with any settlement will be recorded in the accounts at the time of payment.

b) The Company is currently developing its the Mulatos deposit at a capital cost of $72.3 million, as outlined in the June 2004 Estrella Pit Development Feasibility Study. At December 31, 2004, the Company had committed expenditures in the amount of $8.9 million for future procurement and development at the project out of a total estimate of $50 million cost to complete the project.

On February 2, 2005, the Company closed a CDN$50 million aggregate principal amount of 5.50% convertible senior debentures due February 15, 2010 (the "Debentures") pursuant to an agreement with a syndicate of underwriters. The Debentures will bear interest at a rate of 5.50% per annum, and will be convertible at the option of the holder into common shares of the Company at a conversion rate of 188.6792 common shares per $1,000 principal amount of Debentures, which is equal to a conversion price of approximately $5.30 per common share.

The Company intends to classify the financial instrument as a liability to the extent of $30,000,000 and equity to the extent of $10,400,000, in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement.

19. DIFFERENCES BETWEEN CANADIAN AND UNITED STATES GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES (GAAP)

The following is a discussion and reconciliation of material differences between Canadian GAAP and U.S. GAAP on various segments of the financial statements of the Company.

Under Canadian GAAP, exploration expenditures may be deferred on prospective mineral rights until such time as it is determined that further exploration is not warranted, at which time the costs are written-off. Under U.S. GAAP, all exploration expenditures must be expensed until an independent feasibility study has determined that the rights are capable of economic commercial production. The Company completed its feasibility study in June 2004.

The following items (a) to (e) are inclusive of the impact on line items in these financial statements that would result substantially from the application of U.S. accounting principles to deferred mineral right costs.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITIONS AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

This discussion and analysis of the operating results and financial position of Alamos Gold Inc. and its subsidiaries (the "Company") is for the year ended December 31, 2004 compared with the year ended December 31, 2003. Information is current to March 18, 2005. It should be read in conjunction with the Annual Information Form and other information filed by the Company at www.sedar.com.

The Company is a development stage mineral exploration company with a gold and silver project under construction in Sonora, Mexico, and prospective exploration targets in and around the project.

The management discussion and analysis (MD&A) should be read in conjunction with the attached Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company and related Notes (the "Financial Statements"), which have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) (see Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Note 2: Basis of Accounting) in United States dollars. These principles differ in certain material respects from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP). Differences between GAAP and U.S. GAAP applicable to the Company are described in Note 19 to the Financial Statements.

All reserve and resource estimates contained in this MD&A are calculated in accordance with National Instrument 43-101, Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101") of the Canadian Securities Administrators and CIM Standards. While the terms "mineral resource," "measured mineral resource," "indicated mineral resource," and "inferred mineral resource" are recognized and required by Canadian regulations, they are not defined terms under SEC standards in the United States. As such, information contained in this MD&A concerning descriptions of mineralization and resources under Canadian standards may not be comparable to similar information made public by U.S. companies subject to the reporting and disclosure requirements of the SEC. "Indicated mineral resource" and "inferred mineral resource" have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence and a great uncertainty as to their economic and legal feasibility. It can not be assumed that all or any part of an "indicated mineral resource" or "inferred mineral resource" will ever be upgraded to a higher category of resource. Investors are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of mineral deposits in these categories will ever be converted into reserves.

In June 2004, the Company completed a feasibility study to assess the economics of Phase I development of the Mulatos deposit known as the

Estrella Pit. Gold reserves within the Estrella Pit consist of 36.4 million tonnes of ore grading 1.6 grams per tonne (g/t) at varying cutoff grades, beginning at 0.8 g/t, yielding almost 2 million ounces of contained gold.

The availability of equity funding to the Company depends, in part, upon investor interest in the gold sector. Management believes the gold price has benefited in the last few years from a weakening of the United States dollar against other major currencies, a reduction in hedging of future production by major gold producers, and an increase in positions held by speculators. The price of gold improved from $417 per ounce at December 2003, to $435 per ounce at December 2004, and stands at $436 per ounce on March 18, 2005. At these levels, the price of gold has had and may continue to have a positive impact on the feasibility study for Phase I development of the Mulatos deposit, as the reserve modeling and economic forecasts were performed using an assumption of $350 per ounce of gold. However, it is not possible to forecast future gold price trends and their impact on future results from operations.

The Company's most significant asset is its 21,300-hectare Salamandra group of concessions in Sonora, Mexico, which includes the Mulatos deposit and more than nine other exploration targets identified to date. The Mulatos deposit consists of several contiguous mineralized zones which contain gold resources of approximately 62.2 million tonnes of ore grading 1.5 g/t at a 0.6 g/t gold cutoff, measured and indicated, excluding resources contained in the Gap, El Victor and San Carlos zones. In June, a feasibility study was completed on the Estrella zone of the Mulatos deposit, which contained gold reserves of 36.4 million tonnes of ore grading 1.6 g/t at varying cutoff grades, beginning with 0.8 g/t in the early years and declines to the internal cutoff in later years to enhance economics. Reserves contain 2.0 million ounces of contained gold, of which 1.4 million ounces are recoverable, based on

metallurgical testing. The reserves were prepared using a gold price assumption of $350 per ounce. Total projected capital cost, including a $7.7 million contingency, was set at $72.3 million. The feasibility study projects cash operating costs at $174 per ounce. Production is subject to a sliding scale net smelter royalty, which at current gold prices above $400, is set at a rate of 5% of the value of gold and silver, less certain allowed refining and transportation costs.

Construction of the mine at Mulatos began in the third quarter of 2004 and operations are expected to commence in the third quarter of 2005.

The Company is currently drilling or has drilled zones thought to be contiguous to the Estrella Zone at El Salto and the Southeast Extension Zone to attempt to add to its mineral reserve base. It also plans a development program which involves underground drifting through the Escondida, Gap and El Victor zones and establishing drill locations underground to test ore continuity and high-grade structures.

The Company also drill-tested two of its other targets within the Salamandra group in 2004, El Realito and Los Bajios. Results of the El Realito drilling were reported on November 29, 2004. Drilling contained some high-grade intercepts, including hole 04RE007 which encountered 24 meters of gold mineralization grading 5.98 grams per tonne. Results from Los Bajios showed mainly low-grade intervals. No mineral resources are attributable to these results. The Company plans some follow-up work on these targets in 2005, as well as drilling other ready targets at El Halcon and El Jaspe.

Total planned exploration and development expenditures around the Estrella Zone and regional targets is budgeted at $6 million, which includes expenditures contingent on follow-up work, if warranted.

The following contains selected balance sheet and operating information for the preceding two years.

The Company is not in production and has no operating revenue. The Company has raised equity financing during the year to fund exploration and development of the Mulatos deposit.

The Company recorded net loss for 2004 of $3.8 million ($.06 per share), compared with $1.9 million ($0.05 per share) in 2003. Increased costs reflect the merger of operations of Alamos Minerals Ltd, a predecessor of the Company and National Gold Corporation in February 2003. In August 2003 the Company raised $8.2 million which became available for working capital purposes. Prior to this time, the Company had limited financial resources to pursue its business plan. In March 2004, the Company moved its corporate office from Vancouver to Toronto and acquired additional staff.

The increase in corporate costs reflects the business development of the Company during the year as it completed its feasibility study on Phase I of the Mulatos deposit and pursued several funding alternatives to finance construction of a $72.3 million mine at Mulatos, which resulted in two equity offerings totaling $44.2 million net of costs. To enhance its contacts with shareholders and potential investors, the Company moved from the TSX Venture Exchange to the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX), completed registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission in the United States and applied for a listing on the American Stock Exchange (AMEX). The AMEX listing application was withdrawn in early 2005. However, the Company will review the potential benefits of listing on an American exchange with a view to reapplying for a listing at a later date.

Salaries and management compensation increased to $859,310 from $171,761 in 2003 as a result of the addition of staff required by the move to Toronto, severance payments to previous staff who did not relocate, and the allotment of performance bonuses totaling approximately $260,000. Shareholder communications ($232,798 compared with $49,333 in 2003) and travel and accommodations costs ($230,942 compared with $86,892 in 2003) both increased as the Company responded to improved investor interest by meeting with investors and disseminating corporate information. An increase in trust and filing fees to $196,145 from $42,694 in 2003, mainly reflects additional costs associated with the Company's TSX listing in June 2004. Office and administration costs increased to $552,924 from $242,081 reflecting higher outside consulting fees, increased administration costs both in Canada and Mexico, and capital taxes payable in Ontario.

Interest and financing costs of $678,622 (2003: $362,133) include a $390,448 write-off of financing costs relating to the termination of a letter agreement with a syndicate of banks that were to have provided project financing for the Mulatos project. Interest expense is mainly attributed to the H. Morgan & Company loan, established in January 2003 at CDN$5.7 million. The Company repaid CDN$2.85 million in September 2003, and the balance, with accrued interest, was repaid in December 2004. Without the write-off, interest expense would have declined in 2004 ($288,174) compared with 2003 ($362,133) as 2004 benefited from the reduced loan balance throughout the year, while 2003 had a reduced loan balance only after September 2003. Interest income of $234,219 compared with $24,598 is attributed to increased average cash and cash equivalent balances resulting from two equity financings during 2004 and additional funds received from the exercise of options and warrants during 2004. A foreign exchange gain of $121,668 (2003: loss of $158,031) was partially attributable to the gain on the net Canadian monetary position resulting from an appreciation of the Canadian dollar against the United States dollar.

Non-cash compensation expenses of $943,965 (2003 - $403,989) reflect the derived value of stock options granted during the year. An additional amount of $225,388 was recorded as an expenditure on mineral properties, as that grant of options was made to exploration personnel whose compensations are capitalized to the relevant mineral project. The higher valuation in 2004 reflects the higher average exercise price of the grant from CDN$1.57 per share in 2003 to CDN$2.55 per share in 2004, even though options granted declined from 2,260,983 in 2003 to 1,725,000 in 2004. Accounting guidelines require that the Company record as compensation the determined fair value of stock options issued to directors, employees and consultants during the term of the options, with a corresponding credit to its contributed surplus account. No cash is exchanged at the time of the grant. The Company receives the full option price at such time, if any, that the stock option is exercised. In valuing options, management used a standard option pricing model, requiring it to make certain subjective assumptions as to future interest rates and stock price volatility (see Note 12 to the Financial Statements). While management has used its best efforts to assess these

future values, the determined fair value of options is highly subjective and meaningful only if the valuation input factors are realized.

Loss for the fourth quarter 2004 was $1.5 million ($.02 per share) versus $1.0 million ($.02 per share) million in the fourth quarter of 2003. The higher loss in 2004 reflected the write-off of the $390,448 financing costs noted above, while the 2003 loss contained a non-cash compensation charge of $403,989.

The following table shows consolidated loss by quarter for the previous eight quarters, on a dollar and per share basis. As the Company is still in the exploration and development stage, it has no sales or revenue. Per share figures are basic and fully diluted.

Non-cash compensation was recorded in the amount of $403,989 in December, 2003 reflecting the value of the grant of stock options to certain personnel.

The following table shows the adjusted quarterly loss for 2004 before selected under-noted factors.

In the fourth quarter, the Company wrote off $390,448 in deferred financing costs related to a terminated debt arrangement with a syndicate of banks. The fourth quarter contains a charge for capital tax in Ontario estimated at $100,000 resulting in part from the additional equity capital raised in November 2004.

The Company's financial assets and liabilities consist of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, some of which are denominated in Canadian dollars or Mexican pesos. A Note payable, denominated in Canadian dollars, was repaid in December 2004. These accounts are recorded at cost which approximates their fair value at each reporting period end value in United States dollars. The Company is vulnerable to financial gain or loss as a result of foreign exchange movements against the United States dollar. In 2004, the Company recorded a loss of $121,668, while in 2003 a gain of $158,031 was recorded. The Company minimizes its foreign exchange risk by maintaining low account balances in Canadian dollars and Mexican pesos, to the extent possible. The Company does not have major commitments to acquire assets in foreign currencies at this time, but does expect that certain significant expenditures in developing and operating a mine at Mulatos will be denominated in pesos. As mine development costs are incurred and purchase commitments made, the Company may acquire pesos directly or through derivative positions, to lock in these costs in United States funds, if it believes it prudent to do so.

The Company has placed its cash and cash equivalents in short-term liquid deposits or investments which provide a revised rate of interest upon maturity.

Subsequent to December 2004, the Company issued CDN$50 million in convertible debentures, of which CDN$37 million is estimated to be classed as debt and the balance as equity. As the funds are expected to be converted to United States dollars to fund capital expenditures at Mulatos, the Company will have an exposure to a Canadian denominated liability with no offsetting Canadian dollar assets. In 2005 the Company expects to implement a foreign exchange hedging program to offset some or all of this exposure.

Net expenditures on mineral properties increased during the year to $16.0 million from $13.5 million in 2003. The increased activity reflects the Company's commencement of development of Phase I of the Mulatos deposit, which is projected to cost $72.3 million.

At the end of 2004, the Company had spent an estimated $22.7 million on construction and procurement at Mulatos. The Company acquired a package of previously owned mining equipment, including five haul trucks, two loaders, a water truck, lube truck, powder truck and two excavators. Expenditures on production equipment totaled $4.3 million. The Company also acquired a previously owned gold recovery plant ($2.0 million) and a previously owned three-stage crusher ($1.7 million). These expenditures exclude additional costs to be incurred for rehabilitation, transportation to the

mining site, and installation at the site. Both the plant and crusher can be scaled to operate at higher production levels than contemplated in Phase I.

Construction commenced in the third quarter of 2004. As of December 2004, approximately 25% of the initial portion of the leach pad, at a cost of $1.9 million, was compacted and ready for the application of 12 inches of clay liner. Main access roads were improved, the road from the leach pad to the mine had been widened, and the haul road, roughly parallel to the overland conveyer, had been started. Concrete for the carbon plant and power plant plus grading of the primary crusher area was in progress at year end 2004. Expenditures on water systems, consisting of water retention facilities at the Mulatos river, construction of a water reservoir and piping to bring water up 600 meters in elevation from the river to the water reservoir cost $2.2 million. Facilities construction, consisting of camp facilities, mine offices, shops and warehouses cost $1.2 million. Based on the hectares of land disturbed on site, the Company recorded a reclamation liability of $50,000.

The Company secured important land rights during the year through the acquisition of sufficient surface area to accommodate Phase I development. A total of $4.6 million was spent to secure these rights, which included settlement of all outstanding disputes with the Ejido group.

Management has conducted an extensive review of its mineral property accounts. Its La Fortuna project, is currently carried at $1 million, and the Company has determined that this carrying value is appropriate based on its assessment of realizable value.

At the beginning of the year, the Company did not yet have any resource properties that qualify for capitalization under US GAAP. Consequently, the primary effect of the US GAAP reconciliation of its financial statements was to increase the net loss and deficit for 2003 and 2002 by the amounts of the exploration expenditures capitalized less write-offs under Canadian GAAP, in each of those years. For the purposes of US GAAP these expenditures were charged to the Statement of Loss and Deficit in the period incurred (see Note 19 to the Financial Statements). After the completion of the feasibility study and confirmation of the existence of mineral reserves at Mulatos, the Company commenced to capitalize those construction and procurement costs relating to mine development at Mulatos. All other exploration expenditures on unproven mineral properties will continue to be expensed for the purposes of US GAAP.

The Company's financial condition improved significantly in 2004 with over $28.1 million in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments at year end, although these funds are expected to be spent to construct the Mulatos mine. As at December 31, 2004, the Company had $29.0 million in working capital, an increase from working capital of $6.3 million on December 31, 2003. The most significant component of the change in working capital was the increase in cash and cash equivalents by $4.1 million and an increase of $15 million in short-term investments over 2003. Payables increased from

$536,069 in 2003 to $943,319 in 2004 in response to increased construction activities at Mulatos.

The increase in cash and short-term investments resulted primarily from funds received from two equity issues, which raised a combined $44.2 million, net of related expenses. In April 2004, the Company closed a 10 million unit offering, with each unit consisting of one common share in the capital of the Company and one-half of a share purchase warrant. Each full warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one additional share of the Company at a price of CDN$3.50 for a two-year period following closing. In November 2004, the Company closed a share offering of 10 million shares at CDN$3.00 per share. In addition, the Company received $7.1 million upon the exercise of 5,860,815 share purchase warrants and $554,176 upon the exercise of 752,398 share purchase options.

The Company completed a debt financing with H. Morgan & Company in January 2003, whereby a Note for a total of CDN$5.7 million was issued to the Company for a term of 61 months, subject to prepayment terms. These funds were used to prepay the outstanding debentures issued by National Gold pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement on Salamandra. Prepayment of the debentures reduced the amount due under the debentures (CDN$7.5 million) by CDN$1.9 million. Interest was payable on the Note at 12% per annum. During the quarter ended September 30, 2003, the Company repaid 50% of the Note and was entitled to prepay any amount up to the total amount of the principal of the Note after January 30, 2005. In December 2004, the Company and H. Morgan agreed to an early termination of the loan agreement whereby the Company paid the balance of the loan plus interest accruable to January 30, 2005. The Company arranged this early termination to satisfy a condition contained in a letter agreement signed with a syndicate of banks.

The Company is adequately funded to carry out further development work at Mulatos. In February 2005, the Company closed a CDN$50 million 5-year convertible debenture, which was secured to replace a previously announced lending agreement with a syndicate of banks. The debenture contains a coupon rate of 5.5% and convertibility into common shares at a price 35% higher than the closing price of the Company's shares on the date the Company entered into the agreement. The Company secured this financing on more favorable terms than those contained within the bank letter agreement, including fewer covenants and no gold hedging requirements. At current exchange rates, the debenture converts to approximately $40 million after related financing costs. When combined with the $28 million cash on hand at year end, the Company has approximately $68 million cash on hand at December 2004 on a pro-forma basis, with approximately $50 million in anticipated capital costs remaining to be spent at Mulatos, based on the feasibility study. The Company is also budgeting an additional $5.9 million in mineral exploration and reserve development and a corporate operating budget between $1.75 to $2.0 million on a cash basis for 2005. The Company is also expected to have a working capital requirement of up to $5 million or more throughout 2005, depending on the level of gold in-process inventory, inventory of spare parts, and the timing of recovery of refundable sales taxes.

The Company is currently focused on three objectives. The first is to complete development of Phase I of the Mulatos deposit. A significant milestone was achieved when the Company closed its CDN$50 million convertible debenture issue in February 2005, thereby securing the necessary financing to complete development, based on the estimate for capital expenditures of $72.3 million contained in the feasibility study. Production is planned for the third quarter of 2005, with full feasibility production rates to be achieved by year end 2005.

The second priority for the Company is to expand its current reserve of 2.0 million contained ounces of gold by development drilling adjacent to the Estrella zone at El Salto and the Southeast Extension zone, and drifting/drilling along trend through the Escondida, Gap and El Victor zones. Approximately $3 million has been budgeted for this work.

The third priority is to drill assess a number of high priority targets within the Salamandra group of concessions, beginning with the El Realito/Puebla concessions. Initial work in late 2004 showed some encouraging results that will require follow-up work. As well, at least two other targets are drill ready and will be assessed. Up to $2.9 million has been budgeted for this regional exploration program, if results warrant.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Canadian GAAP requires the Company to select from possible alternative accounting principles, and to make estimates and assumptions that determine the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date, and reported costs and expenditures during the reporting period. Estimates and assumptions may be revised as new information is obtained, and are subject to change. The Company's accounting policies and estimates used in the preparation of the Financial Statements are considered appropriate in the circumstances, but are subject to judgments and uncertainties inherent in the financial reporting process.

The Company follows accounting guidelines in determining the fair value of stock-based compensation, as disclosed in Note 12 to the Financial Statements. This calculated amount is not based on historical cost, but is derived based on subjective assumptions input into an option pricing model. The model requires that management make several assumptions as to future events, including: an estimate of the average future hold period of issued stock options before exercise, expiry or cancellation; future volatility of the Company's share price in the expected hold period (using historical volatility as a reference); and the appropriate risk-free rate of interest. The resulting value calculated is not necessarily the value which the holder of the option could receive in an arm's length transaction, given that there is no market for

the options and they are not transferable. It is management's view that the value derived is highly subjective and dependent entirely upon the input assumptions made. The fair value of the compensation is either expensed or capitalized as a mineral property cost depending on the nature of the grant.

Property acquisition costs and related direct exploration costs may be deferred until the properties are either placed into production, sold, abandoned or written down, where appropriate. The Company's accounting policy is to capitalize exploration costs on a project by project basis consistent with Canadian GAAP, including applicable guidelines and accepted industry practice. The policy is consistent with other junior exploration companies that have not established mineral reserves objectively. Two alternative acceptable policies are to expense such costs until sufficient work has been done to determine that there is a probability a mineral reserve can be established, or expense such costs until a mineral reserve has been established (which is the procedure prescribed by the Securities and Exchange Commission in the United States). Management is of the view that its current policy is appropriate for the Company at this time and is consistent with many other public exploration companies in Canada. Shareholders are advised that carrying values are not necessarily indicative of present or future values. The Company assesses whether an impairment exists in any of its exploration projects, and writes down that project to its estimated recoverable amount when such impairment is found to exist. A write-down of a project does not necessarily mean the project is or will be abandoned or sold, or that the project has no further merit, but could result from the Company's decision not to advance the project at that time, due to poor initial results or lack of funds. No write-downs were recorded during 2004. A write-down would be recorded as an expense in the Company's statement of operation.

The Company is required to determine the expected value of the estimated costs of asset retirement obligations and to recognize this value as a liability when reasonably determinable. This valuation is added to the cost of the relevant mineral property on the balance sheet, and amortized as an expense in the statement of operation when the mineral property is in production. Asset retirement costs include future removal and site restoration. Key assumptions in determining the amount of liability are total undiscounted cash outflows; expected timing of payment of the cash outflows; and appropriate discount rates to apply to the timing of cash outflows. Because the liability is recorded on a discounted basis, it is increased due to the passage of time with an offsetting charge to accretion expense in the statement of operations. The feasibility study for the Mulatos project determined that an undiscounted remedial obligation of $2.8 million will be incurred to provide for mine closure at the completion of planned operations. This study will be used as the basis for determining the pro-rata amount of remedial obligation incurred as site construction and subsequent mining and waste rock disposal progress. The Company may update that study from time to time as more information becomes available. Most reclamation will occur at the end of the mine life, expected to be 10 years at the current expected mining rate.

In 2004, the Company adopted new CICA Handbook Section 3110, Asset Retirement Obligations for the recognition, measurement and disclosure of liabilities for asset retirement obligations and the associated asset retirement costs. This new standard came into effect for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2004. The methodology of implementing the new standard is discussed above. The Company's main asset is the cost associated with the development of the Mulatos project. The adoption of this standard had no impact on the Company's prior period financial situation or on its operating loss.

The current estimate of the cost of remediation is not significant, as the total hectares of disturbed land is not substantial, and the nature of the disturbance will not result in material remedial work. Rehabilitation of waste dumps and leach pad area are expected to result in more significant rehabilitation costs, and will be incurred as these dumps are established and ore is stacked on the leach pad over the operating life of the mine. Rehabilitation will occur largely at the end of the mine life. As the Company has commenced in 2004 to develop the Mulatos property, it has determined that the appropriate asset retirement obligation at December 31, 2004 is $50,000. It is anticipated that the retirement obligation will be increased quarterly to take into account progressive disturbance and accretion expense.

The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements, except for purchase obligations described in the attached table.

The following table lists as of December 31, 2004 information with respect to the Company's known contractual obligations.

The Company received consulting services from two directors, one on an annual renewable contract basis as approved by the Board of Directors to provide management and financial services to the Company; as of October 1, 2005, the director no longer provides services on this basis. A second director has provided consulting services on a transaction basis. There are no ongoing contractual arrangements or commitments resulting from these transactions. Total contractual fees were $475,723 (2003: $172,138). These transactions have occurred in the normal course of operation and are measured at their fair value.

Management is responsible for the design of internal controls over financial reporting to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Canada. Based on a review of its internal control procedures at the end of the period covered by this MD&A, management believes its disclosure controls and procedures are effective in providing reasonable assurance that financial information is recorded, processed, summarized and reported in a timely manner. There were no material changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting in the period covered by this MD&A.

Except for historical information contained in this discussion and analysis, disclosure statements contained herein are forward-looking, as defined in the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those in such forward-looking statements.

The Company is a mineral exploration and development company and is exposed to a number of risks and uncertainties that are common to other companies in the same business. While substantial expenditures are required to establish ore reserves through drilling, to develop metallurgical processes to extract the metal from the ore and, in the case of new properties, to develop the mining and processing facilities and infrastructure at any site chosen for mining, few properties that are explored are ultimately developed into producing mines. Where expenditures on a property have not led to the discovery of mineral reserves, the property will have to be discarded causing the Company to write off each respective property thus sustaining a loss.

The value of the Company's mineral resources and future operating profit and loss is affected by fluctuations in gold prices, over which the Company has no control. A reduction in the price of gold may prevent the Company's properties from being economically mined or result in the write-off of assets whose value is impaired as a result of low gold prices. Although the price has risen from recent 20-year lows, it is not possible to predict future prices.

The Company is subject to currency risks. The Company's functional currency is the United States dollar, which has been subject to recent fluctuations against other currencies. The Company operations are located in Mexico and many of its obligations are in pesos. The Company maintains its principal office in Canada, maintains cash accounts in U.S. dollars, pesos and Canadian dollars and has monetary assets and liabilities in U.S. and Canadian dollars and pesos. As such, the Company's results of operations are subject to foreign currency fluctuation risks and such fluctuations may adversely affect the financial position and operating results of the Company.

The Company has limited financial resources which could affect its ability to carry out its business plan. The Company's ability to secure fixed gold prices or future foreign exchange rates is affected by its creditworthiness. Because of its limited operating record and history of losses, it may not be able to hedge future risk to the extent it feels is appropriate. The Company's ability to obtain financing to explore for mineral deposits and to continue and complete the development of those properties it has classified as assets is not assured; nor is there assurance that the expenditure of funds will result in the discovery of an economic mineral deposit. Competition in the precious metals mining industry is primarily for mineral rich properties which can be developed and produced economically; the technical expertise to find, develop, and produce such properties; the labour to operate the properties; and the capital for the purpose of financing development of such properties. Many competitors not only explore for and mine precious metals, but conduct refining and marketing operations on a world- wide basis and some of these companies have much greater financial and technical resources than the Company. Such competition may result in the Company being unable to acquire desired properties, recruit or retain qualified employees or acquire the capital necessary to fund its operations and develop its properties. The Company's inability to compete with other mining companies for these mineral deposits could have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operation and business.

The Company conducts it primary exploration and development activities in Sonora, Mexico. Mexico is a developing country and obtaining financing or finding or hiring qualified people or obtaining all necessary services for the Company's operations in Mexico may be difficult. The Company's exploration and development activities are subject to extensive laws and regulations governing health and worker safety, employment standards, waste disposal, protection of historic and archaeological sites, mine development and protection of endangered and protected species and other matters. Specifically, the Company activities related to its Mulatos Project are subject to regulation by SEMARNAP, the environmental protection agency of Mexico, Comision National del Aqua ("CAN"), which regulates water rights, and the Mexican Mining Law. A number of other approvals, licenses and permits are required for various aspects of mine development. While the Company has used its best efforts to ensure title to all its properties and secured access to surface rights, these titles or rights may be disputed, which could result in costly litigation or disruption of operations. The Company is uncertain if all necessary permits will be maintained on acceptable terms or in a timely manner. Future changes in applicable laws and regulations or changes in their enforcement or regulatory interpretation could negatively impact current or planned exploration and development activities on its Salamandra Property or in any other projects that the Company becomes involved. Any failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations or failure to obtain or maintain permits, even if inadvertent, could result in the interruption of exploration and development operations or material fines, penalties or other liabilities.

and no assurance can be given that any particular level of recovery of minerals will in fact be realized or that an identified reserve or resource will ever qualify as a commercially mineable (or viable) deposit which can be legally and economically exploited. In addition, the grade of mineralization ultimately mined may differ from that indicated by drilling results and such differences could be material. Production can be affected by such factors as permitting regulations and requirements, weather, environmental factors, unforeseen technical difficulties, unusual or unexpected geological formations, inaccurate or incorrect geologic, metallurgical or engineering work, and work interruptions, among other things. Short term factors, such as the need for orderly development of deposits or the processing of new or different grades, may have an adverse effect on mining operations or the results of operations. There can be no assurance that minerals recovered in small scale laboratory tests will be duplicated in large scale tests under on-site conditions or in production scale operations. Material changes in reserves or resources, grades, waste-to-ore ratios or recovery rates may affect the economic viability of projects. The estimated reserves and resources described herein should not be interpreted as assurances of mine life or of the profitability of future operations.

This management discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements concerning the Company's plans for its properties and other matters. These statements relate to analyses and other information that are based on forecasts of future results, estimates of amounts not yet determinable and assumptions of management.

Statements concerning reserves and mineral resource estimates may also be deemed to constitute forward-looking statements to the extent that they involve estimates of the mineralization that will be encountered if the property is developed, and in the case of mineral resources or mineral reserves, such statements reflect the conclusion based on certain assumptions that the mineral deposit can be economically exploited. 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" 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 which could cause actual events or results to differ from those reflected in the forward-looking statements.
