Conference Call & Webcast – March 9, 2018

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”). These forward-looking statements reflect current expectations or beliefs regarding future events or the Company’s future performance. 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” 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 contained in this presentation include, without limitation, statements with respect to: guidance for production, operating expense, cash costs, all-in
sustaining costs, and the factors contributing to those expected results, including mine output, mill throughput, gold recoveries, and expected capital and other expenditures;
planned development activities and exploration; estimation of mineral reserves and mineral resources; and permitting timelines.
Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the Company’s actual results, performance or achievements to differ
materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements contained are made as of the date hereof, or as of the date or dates
specified in such statements.
Inherent in forward-looking statements are risks, uncertainties and other factors beyond the Company’s ability to predict or control. These risks, uncertainties and other factors
include, but are not limited to, gold price volatility, changes in debt and equity markets, the uncertainties involved in interpreting geological data, increases in costs, environmental
compliance and changes in environmental legislation and regulation, 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 listed in the section entitled "Description of Business - Risk Factors" in Detour Gold's 2017 Annual Information
Form and in the continuous disclosure documents filed by Detour Gold on and available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. Readers are cautioned that the foregoing list of factors is not
exhaustive of the factors that may affect forward-looking statements. Actual results and developments are likely to differ, and may differ materially, from those expressed or implied
by forward-looking statements, including those contained in this news release. Such statements are based on a number of assumptions which may prove to be incorrect, including,
but not limited to, assumptions about the following: the availability of financing for exploration and development activities; operating and capital costs; the Company’s available cash
resources; the Company's ability to attract and retain skilled staff; the mine development and production schedule and related costs; 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
mineral reserve and mineral 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; and general business and economic conditions.
Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the Company’s actual results, performance or achievements to differ
materially from those expressed or implied by forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements, including those herein are qualified by this cautionary statement.
Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. The Company undertakes no obligation to update publicly or otherwise revise any forward-
looking statements 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 Non-IFRS Financial Performance Measures The Company has included non-IFRS measures in this presentation: total cash costs, all-in sustaining costs, adjusted earnings (loss) and adjusted basic earnings (loss) per
share. 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.
IFRS Measures The Company has included IFRS measure in this presentation: earnings (loss) from mine operations. The Company believes that this measure provides useful information to
investors as an indication of the Company’s principal business activities before consideration of how those activities are financed, sustaining capital expenditures, corporate
administration expense, exploration and evaluation expenses, loss on disposal of assets, finance income and costs, and taxation.
