FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This presentation contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, included in this presentation that address activities, events or developments that Antero Resources Corporation and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company” or “Antero”) expects, believes or anticipates will or may occur in the future are forward-looking statements. The words “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “intend,” “estimate,” “project,” “foresee,” “should,” “would,” “could,” or other similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. However, the absence of these words does not mean that the statements are not forward-looking. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, forward-looking statements contained in this presentation specifically include estimates of the Company’s reserves, expectations of plans, strategies, objectives and anticipated financial and operating results of the Company, including as to the Company’s drilling program, production, hedging activities, capital expenditure levels and other guidance included in this presentation. These statements are based on certain assumptions made by the Company based on management’s experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions, anticipated future developments and other factors believed to be appropriate. Such statements are subject to a number of assumptions, risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the control of the Company, which may cause actual results to differ materially from those implied or expressed by the forward-looking statements. These include the factors discussed or referenced under the heading “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 and in the Company’s subsequent filings with the SEC.

The Company cautions you that these forward-looking statements are subject to all of the risks and uncertainties, most of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control, incident to the exploration for and development, production, gathering and sale of natural gas and oil. These risks include, but are not limited to, commodity price volatility, inflation, lack of availability of drilling and production equipment and services, environmental risks, drilling and other operating risks, regulatory changes, the uncertainty inherent in estimating natural gas and oil reserves and in projecting future rates of production, cash flow and access to capital, the timing of development expenditures, and the other risks described under the heading “Risk Factors” in the Registration Statement and in the Company’s subsequent filings with the SEC.

Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made and the Company undertakes no obligation to correct or update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by applicable law.

ANTERO: A “PURE PLAY” ON THE MARCELLUS / UTICA● Marcellus is the largest gas field in the U.S., 2nd largest in the world –

Industry production approximately 14 Bcf/d today● Antero has 35 Tcfe of fully engineered and audited 3P reserves in

Marcellus and Utica Shales● 678 MMcfe/d of average net production in 4Q 2013 including approximately

11,100 Bbl/d of liquids

Critical Mass In Two World Class Shale Plays

● 159% Appalachian production CAGR for 2010 to 2013● Most active driller in Appalachia – 20 rigs running− Most active driller in Marcellus Shale – 15 rigs running− 3rd most active driller in the Utica Shale – 5 rigs running

Market Leading Growth

● Low development cost leader: $1.03/Mcfe(1)

● Industry leading growth-adjusted recycle ratio: 6.1x(1)

● Top quartile return on productive capital: 27% for 2013E

Industry Leading Capital Efficiency and Recycle Ratio

● 1.6 Bcf/d of processing capacity and 1.7 Bcf/d of gas takeaway● Liquids expected to grow from 10% of fourth quarter 2013 production to

~ 16% in 2014 due to focus on liquids-rich development

Significant Emphasis on Takeaway and

Liquids Processing

● ~$1.2 billion pro forma available liquidity with current $1.5 billion bank commitment(2)

● 1.3 Tcfe hedged through 2019 at an average index price of $4.62/MMBtuand $96.54/Bbl

1st Production from All Wells 2009 - 2013

Antero has over four years of production history to support its 1.5 Bcf/1,000’ type curve (non-SSL) Antero’s SSL type curve has been increased to 1.73 Bcf/1,000’ with only 12% higher well costs Lack of faulting and contiguous acreage position allows for drilling of long laterals ~ 7,300’− Drives down costs per 1,000’ of lateral resulting in best-in-class development costs

Keys to Execution

Pad Impact Mitigation Closed loop mud system – no mud pits Protective liners or mats on all well pads in addition to berms

Green Completion Units All Antero well completions use green completion units for completion flowback,

essentially eliminating methane emissions (full compliance with EPA 2015requirements)

Central Fresh Water System & Water Recycling

Numerous sources of water – building central water system to source water forcompletion

Antero recycles over 95% of its flowback water with the remainder injected into disposal wells – no discharge to water treatment plants in West Virginia

Natural Gas Powered Drilling Rigs Nine of Antero’s contracted drilling rigs are currently running on natural gas

Natural Gas Vehicles (NGV)

Antero supported the first natural gas fueling station in West Virginia which recently opened

Antero has a dozen NGV trucks and plans to continue to convert its truck fleet to NGV

Safety & Environmental

Five company safety representatives and 45 safety consultants cover all material field operations 24/7 including drilling, completion, construction and pipelining

23-person company environmental staff plus outside consultants monitor all operations and perform baseline water well testing

Local Presence Land office in Ellenboro, WV Recently moved into new 50,000 square foot district office in Bridgeport, WV 105 of Antero’s 258 employees are located in West Virginia and Ohio

LEED Gold Headquarters Building

Antero’s new corporate headquarters in Denver has been LEED Gold Certified Completion expected by spring of 2014

HEALTH, SAFETY, ENVIRONMENT & COMMUNITYProtection Of Our People And The Environment Is An Antero Core Value

Strong West Virginia Presence Over 75% of Antero Marcellus

employees and contract workers are West Virginia residents

Antero named Business of the Year for 2013 in Harrison County, West Virginia “For outstanding corporate citizenship and community involvement”

Antero representatives recently participated in a ribbon cutting with the Governor of West Virginia for the grand opening of the first natural gas fueling station in the state; Antero supported the station with volume commitments for its NGV truck fleet

CONSIDERABLE RESERVE BASE WITH ETHANE OPTIONALITY 40 year proved reserve life based on 2013E production Reserve base provides significant exposure to liquids-rich projects

– 3P reserves of over 2.2 BBbl of NGLs and condensate in ethane recovery mode; 33% liquids

1. Ethane rejection occurs when ethane is left in the wellhead gas stream as the gas is processed, rather than being separated out and sold as a liquid after fractionation. When ethane is left in the gas stream, the BTU content of the residue gas at the outlet of the processing plant is higher. Producers will elect to “reject” ethane when the price received for the higher BTU residue gas is greater than the price received for the ethane being sold as a liquid after fractionation. When ethane is recovered, the BTU content of the residue gas is lower, but a producer is then able to recover the value of the ethane sold as a separate NGL product.

POSITIVE RATINGS MOMENTUMMoody’s / S&P Historical Credit Ratings

“We would consider a positive rating action if the company continued toconvert its PUD reserves to proved developed reserves and improvedprofitability, while maintaining leverage below 3x.”

- S&P Credit Research, October 2013

“An upgrade could be considered if debt / average daily production issustained below $20,000 per boe and debt / proved-developedreserves is sustained below $8.00 per boe. An upgrade would also becontingent on Antero maintaining unleveraged cash margins greaterthan $25.00 per boe and retained cash flow to debt over 40% as itbuilds out infrastructure needs to support production growth.”

CAUTIONARY NOTE

The SEC permits oil and gas companies, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose only proved, probable and possible reserve estimates (collectively, “3P”). Antero has provided internally generated estimates for proved, probable and possible reserves in this presentation in accordance with SEC guidelines and definitions. The estimates of proved, probable and possible reserves as of December 31, 2013 included in this presentation have been audited by Antero’s third-party engineers. Unless otherwise noted, reserve estimates are as of December 31, 2013, assuming ethane rejection and strip pricing.

Actual quantities that may be ultimately recovered from Antero’s interests may differ substantially from the estimates in this presentation. Factors affecting ultimate recovery include the scope of Antero’s ongoing drilling program, which will be directly affected by commodity prices, the availability of capital, drilling and production costs, availability of drilling services and equipment, drilling results, lease expirations, transportation constraints, regulatory approvals and other factors; and actual drilling results, including geological and mechanical factors affecting recovery rates.

In this presentation:

“3P reserves” refer to Antero’s estimated aggregate proved, probable and possible reserves as of December 31, 2013. The SEC prohibits companies from aggregating proved, probable and possible reserves in filings with the SEC due to the different levels of certainty associated with each reserve category.

“EUR,” or “Estimated Ultimate Recovery,” refers to Antero’s internal estimates of per well hydrocarbon quantities that may be potentially recovered from a hypothetical future well completed as a producer in the area. These quantities do not necessarily constitute or represent reserves within the meaning of the Society of Petroleum Engineer’s Petroleum Resource Management System or the SEC’s oil and natural gas disclosure rules.

“Highly-rich/condensate” refers to gas having a heat content between 1275 BTU and 1350 BTU in the Marcellus Shale and 1250 BTU and 1300 BTU in the Utica Shale.

“Highly-rich gas” refers to gas having a heat content between 1200 BTU and 1275 BTU in the Marcellus Shale and 1200 BTU and 1250 BTU in the Utica Shale.

“Rich gas” refers to gas having a heat content of between 1100 BTU to 1200 BTU.

“Dry gas” refers to gas containing insufficient quantities of hydrocarbons heavier than methane to allow their commercial extraction or to require their removal in order to render the gas suitable for fuel use.
