Forward Looking Information This presentation contains certain forward-looking information and forward-looking statements, as defined in applicable securities laws (collectively referred to herein as “forward-looking

statements”). Forward-looking statements relate to future events or future performance and reflect current expectations or beliefs regarding future events and include, but are not limited to,

statements with respect to: (i) the amount of mineral resources and mineral reserves and exploration targets; (ii) the amount of future production over any period; (iii) net present value and

internal rates of return of mining operations; (iv) assumptions relating to recovered grade, average ore recovery, internal dilution, mining dilution and other mining parameters set out in the

technical reports, studies and disclosure of the Company; (v) assumptions relating to revenues, operating cash flow and other revenue metrics set out in the Company’s disclosure materials (vi)

mine expansion potential and expected mine life; (vii) expected time frames for completion of permitting and regulatory approvals; (viii) future capital and operating expenditures; (ix) future

exploration plans; (x) future gold prices; and (xi) sources of and anticipated financing requirements. All statements other than statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements. Often,

but not always, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as “plans”, “expects”, “is expected”, “budget”, “scheduled”, “estimates”, “continues”, “forecasts”, “projects”,

“predicts”, “intends”, “anticipates”, “targets”, or “believes”, or variations of, or the negatives of, such words and phrases or state that certain actions, events or results “may”, “could”, “would”,

“should”, “might” or “will” be taken, occur or be achieved. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, which may cause actual results to differ

materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements in this presentation speak only as of the date of this presentation or as of the date or dates

specified in such statements.

Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which are beyond Detour Gold's ability to predict or control and may cause Detour Gold's actual

results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any of its future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by forward-looking statements. These risks,

uncertainties and other factors include, but are not limited to, the ability of the Company to refinance its convertible notes and credit facility on or before maturity (November 30, 2017 and August

31, 2017, respectively) on acceptable terms, gold price volatility, changes in debt and equity markets, a reduction in the company’s available cash resources, the uncertainties involved in

interpreting geological data, risks relating to variations in recovered grades and mining dilution, variations in rates of recovery, changes or delays in mining development and exploration plans,

the success of mining, development and exploration plans, changes in project parameters, risks related to the receipt of regulatory approvals, increases in costs, environmental compliance and

changes in environmental legislation and regulation, delays in the consultation and permitting process for West Detour, interest rate and exchange rate fluctuations, general economic conditions

and other risks involved in the gold exploration and development industry, as well as those risk factors discussed in the section entitled "Description of Business - Risk Factors" in Detour Gold's

2015 AIF and in the continuous disclosure documents filed by Detour Gold on and available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

Such forward-looking statements are also based on a number of assumptions which may prove to be incorrect, including, but not limited to, assumptions about the following: a constant gold price

of $1,200/oz in 2017, a constant CAD/US exchange rate of 1.30 in 2017, a constant diesel fuel price of C$0.70/L in 2017, and a constant power cost of C$0.30/kWhr in 2017, the ability of the

Company to refinance its convertible notes and credit facility on or before maturity (November 30, 2017 and August 31, 2017, respectively) on acceptable terms, the availability of financing for

exploration and development activities; operating and capital costs; the Company’s available cash resources in 2017; the Company's ability to attract and retain skilled staff; the mine

development schedule and related costs; the mine production schedule; dilution control, sensitivity to metal prices and other sensitivities; the supply and demand for, and the level and volatility of

the price of, gold; timing of the receipt of regulatory and governmental approvals for development projects and other operations; the timing and results of consultations with the Company’s

Aboriginal partners, the supply and availability of consumables and services; the exchange rates of the Canadian dollar to the U.S. dollar; energy and fuel costs; required capital investments;

estimates of net present value and internal rate of returns, the accuracy of reserve and resource estimates, production estimates and capital and operating cost estimates and the assumptions

on which such estimates are based; market competition; ongoing relations with employees and impacted communities and general business and economic conditions. Accordingly, readers

should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements contained herein are made as of the date hereof, or such other date or dates specified in such

statements. Detour Gold undertakes no obligation to update publicly or otherwise revise any forward-looking statements contained herein whether as a result of new information or future events

or otherwise, except as may be required by law. If the Company does update one or more forward-looking statements, no inference should be drawn that it will make additional updates with

respect to those or other forward-looking statements.

Notes to Investors

The scientific and technical content of this presentation was reviewed, verified and approved by Drew Anwyll, P.Eng., Senior Vice President Technical Services,

a Qualified Person as defined by Canadian Securities Administrators National Instrument 43-101 “Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects”.

Qualified Persons

Non-IFRS Financial Performance Measures The Company has included non-IFRS measures in this presentation: total cash costs and all-in sustaining costs,. The Company believes that these measures, in

addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with IFRS, provide investors an improved ability to evaluate the underlying performance of the

Company. The non-IFRS measures are intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of

performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. These measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed under IFRS, and therefore may not be

comparable to other issuers. Other companies may calculate these measure differently.

Detour Gold reports total cash costs on a sales basis. Total cash costs include production costs such as mining, processing, refining and site administration,

agreements with Aboriginal communities, less non-cash share-based compensation and net of silver sales divided by gold ounces sold to arrive at total cash

costs per gold ounce sold. The measure also includes other mine related costs incurred such as mine standby costs and current inventory write downs.

Production costs are exclusive of depreciation and depletion. Production costs include the costs associated with providing the royalty in kind ounces.

The Company believes the measure all-in sustaining costs more fully defines the total costs associated with producing gold. The Company calculates all-in

sustaining costs as the sum of total cash costs (as described above), share-based compensation, corporate general and administrative expense, exploration and

evaluation expenses that are sustaining in nature, reclamation cost accretion, sustaining capital including deferred stripping, and realized gains and losses on

hedges due to operating and capital costs, all divided by the gold ounces sold to arrive at a per ounce figure.

Costs excluded from all-in sustaining costs are non-sustaining capital expenditures and exploration costs that are expected to materially increase production,

financing costs and tax expense. Consequently, this measure is not representative of all of the Company’s cash expenditures. In addition, the calculation of all-in

sustaining costs does not include depreciation and depletion expense as it does not reflect the impact of expenditures incurred in prior periods.

All monetary amounts are in U.S. dollars unless otherwise stated.

Year-end 2015 Reserves & Resources Notes:

1. Mineral resources and reserves were

completed by Detour Gold in conformity

with generally accepted definitions and

guidelines given in the Canadian Institute

of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (CIM)

Standards on Mineral Resources and

Mineral Reserves as required by NI 43-

101.

2. Mineral reserves were estimated using a

gold price of $1,000/oz and mineral

resources were estimated using a gold

price of $1,200/oz at a US$/C$ exchange

rate of 1.10.

3. Mineral reserves and resources were

based on a cut-off grade of 0.50 g/t Au.

4. Mineral reserves included an average

mining dilution of 5.3% from 2016 to 2018

and 4% for 2018+, at a diluting grade of

0.20g/t Au. Mining ore loss of 5% also

included.

5. Only Probable LG Fines scheduled in the

mine plan were reported as mineral

reserves. The LG fines reserves were

based on a cut-off grade of 0.40 g/t Au.

6. Mineral resources are reported exclusive

of mineral reserves. Mineral resources

that are not mineral reserves do not have

demonstrated economic viability.

7. Totals may not add due to rounding.
