FORWARD LOOKING INFORMATIONCertain statements and information contained in this presentation constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of applicable U.S. securities laws and “forward-looking information” within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities laws, which we refer to collectively as “forward-looking statements”. Forward-looking statements are statements and information regarding possible events, conditions or results of operations that are based upon assumptions about future economic conditions and courses of action. All statements and information other than statements of historical fact may be forward-looking statements. In some cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as “seek”, “expect”, “anticipate”, “budget”, “plan”, “estimate”, “continue”, “forecast”, “intend”, “believe”, “predict”, “potential”, “target”, “may”, “could”, “would”, “might”, “will” and similar words or phrases (including negative variations) suggesting future outcomes or statements regarding an outlook.Forward-looking statements in the presentation include, but are not limited to, statements which relate to future events. Such statements include estimates of future gold prices, current and future gold production at the San Francisco Mine and the Florida Canyon Mine (“the Mines”), the LOM of the Mines, revenue and cash flows generated by the operation of the Mines, operating, capital, cash, closure and all in sustaining costs associated with the Mines, gold grades and recovery at the Mines, mining rates and processes, strip ratios at the Mines and future taxes payable by the Company and its subsidiaries; the Mines’ mineral resource and reserve estimates; and estimates, forecasts and statements with respect to mine plans and designs, including with respect to the replacement of the Florida Canyon mining fleet, the expansion to the leach pad, pit-rim exploration and sulfide potential at the Florida Canyon Mine and the benefits expected to be derived therefrom, planned activities to improve reliability and operating efficiency and reduce operating and sustaining capital cost requirements at the Florida Canyon Mine, processing, capital spending and the timing of such spending at the Florida Canyon Mine, residual leaching and stockpiling at the San Francisco mine, holding costs at the Ana Paula Project, reduced corporate expenses, and general value enhancing alternatives.Such forward-looking statements are based on a number of material factors and assumptions, including, but not limited to: the successful completion of development projects, planned expansions or other projects within the timelines anticipated and at anticipated production levels; the accuracy of gold price, production, revenue, capital expenditure, cost,reserve and resource, grade, mining, strip ratio, recovery, mine life, net present value, and tax estimates and other assumptions, projections and estimates made in respect of the Mines; that mineral resources can be developed as planned; interest and exchange rates; that required financing and permits will be obtained; general economic conditions, that labour disputes, flooding, ground instability, fire, failure of plant, equipment or processes to operate are as anticipated and other risks of the mining industry will not be encountered; that contracted parties provide goods or services in a timelymanner; that there is no material adverse change in the price of gold, silver or other metals; competitive conditions in the mining industry; title to mineral properties costs; and changes in laws, rules and regulations applicable to the Company. Forward- looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause actual results, performance or achievements, or industry results, to differ materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking statements. The Company believes the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, but no assurance can be given that these expectations will prove to be correct and you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements contained herein. Some of the risks and other factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements contained in this presentation herein by reference include, but are not limited to: decreases in the price of gold; risks associated with COVID-19, competition with other companies with greater financial and human resources and technical facilities; maintaining compliance with governmental regulations and expenses associated with such compliance; ability to hire, train, deploy and manage qualified personnel in a timely manner; ability to obtain or renew required government permits; failure to discover new reserves, maintain or enhance existing reserves or develop new operations; risks and hazards associated with exploration and mining operations; accessibility and reliability of existing local infrastructure and availability of adequate infrastructures in the future; environmental regulation;

Cautionary NotesCONTINUEDland reclamation requirements; ownership of, or control over, the properties on which the Company operates; maintaining existingproperty rights or obtaining new rights; inherent uncertainties in the process of estimating mineral reserves and resources; reported reserves and resources may not accurately reflect the economic viability of the Company’s properties; uncertainties in estimating future mine production and related costs; risks associated with expansion and development of mining properties; currency exchange rate fluctuations; directors’ and officers’ conflicts of interest; inability to access additional capital; problems integrating new acquisitions and other problems with strategic transactions; legal proceedings; uncertainties related to the repatriation of funds from foreign subsidiaries; no dividend payments; volatile share price; negative research reports or analyst’s downgrades and dilution; and other factors contained in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in the Company’s annual information form dated March 19, 2019, and filed on the Company’s SEDAR profile. Readers are also encouraged to read, in their entirety, the NI 43-101 Technical Report Life of Mine Plan and Mineral Reserves for the Florida Canyon Gold Mine Pershing County, Nevada, USA, effective date November 2, 2018, report date February 8, 2019 regarding the Florida Canyon Mine and the NI 43-101 F1 Technical Report Updated Resources and Reserves and Mine Plan for the San Francisco Gold Project Sonora, Mexico, effective date April 1, 2017, report date May 25, 2017 regarding the San Francisco mine, both of which are filed on the Company’s SEDAR profile. Although the Company has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements, you are cautioned that this list is not exhaustive and there may be other factors that the Company has not identified. Furthermore, the Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements included in, or incorporated by reference in, this news release if these beliefs, estimates and opinions or other circumstances should change, except as otherwise required by applicable law.

NATIONAL INSTRUMENT 43-101 COMPLIANCEThe relevant scientific and technical data prepared by Alio Gold and contained in this presentation has been reviewed and approved by Thomas Bagan, PE, MBA, SME RM, Principal of Thomas H Bagan LLC, a Qualified Person under NI 43-101 who is independent of the Company.

ALTERNATIVE AND NON-GAAP PERFORMANCE MEASURESCash cost per gold ounce and cash cost per gold ounce on a by-product basis are non-GAAP performance measures that management uses to assess the Company’s performance and its expected future performance. The Company has included the non-GAAP performance measures of cash cost per gold ounce and cash cost per gold ounce on a by-product basis throughout this document. In the gold mining industry, these are common performance measures but they do not have any standardized meaning. As such, they are unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. Management believes that, in addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, certain investors use this information to evaluate the Company’s performance and ability to generate cash flow. Accordingly, presentation of these measures is to provide additionalinformation and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance withGAAP. The cash cost per gold ounce is calculated by dividing the operating production costs by the total number of gold ounces sold. The cash cost per gold ounce on a by-product basis is calculated by deducting the by-product silver credits per gold ouncesold from the cash cost per gold ounce. Cash cost per gold ounce is calculated for the San Francisco Mine and the Florida CanyonMine in the same manner as on a consolidated basis. For further details, refer to the Company’s Management Discussion and Analysis for the three month and full year ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.

Mineral Reserves and Resources

16

Florida Canyon Reserve Reporting Notes1. Mineral Reserves have an effective date of 1 November 2018. The Qualified Person for the estimate is Mr. Justin Smith, P.E., SME-RM. 2. All Mineral Resources are reported inclusive of Mineral Reserves.3. The Mineral Reserves and Resources in this report were estimated using the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (CIM), CIM Standards on Mineral Resources and Reserves, Definitions and Guidelines prepared by the CIM

Standing Committee on Reserve Definitions and adopted by CIM Council.4. The reserve was developed using US units, and quantities and grades in the above table reflect conversion to metric units for reporting where applicable. Cut-offs and costs in the notes below are expressed in ounces per short ton (oz/ston)

US$/short ton ($/ston);5. Reserves are reported within a designed pit using a cutoff of 0.006 oz/ston for the radio towers mining area and 0.005 oz/ston for all other areas. 6. The mineral reserves are based on a pit design which in turn aligns with an ultimate pit shell selected from a Lerchs-Grossmann pit optimization exercise. Key inputs for the reserve cutoff calculation are:

• A metal price of $1,250/oz Au; • Ore mining costs by area ranging from $1.42/ston to $2.67/ston; • Waste mining costs by area ranging from $1.24/ston to $1.83/ston; • Crushing and processing costs of $2.85/ston ore; • General and administration costs of $1.02/ston milled; • Pit slope angles varying from 32.5 to 45 degrees; and • Process recoveries of 70%.

7. Mining dilution is assumed to be 5% at zero grade;8. Ore loss is assumed to be 5%;9. The ultimate pit includes 87.6 million tonnes of waste for a stripping ratio of 1.03 tonnes of waste per ton of ore; and10. All figures are rounded to reflect the relative accuracy of the estimate. Totals may not sum due to rounding.

Florida Canyon Resource Reporting Notes1. Mineral Resources are not Mineral Reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability. There is no certainty that any part of the Mineral Resources estimated will be converted into a Mineral Reserves estimate;2. Au recovery is based on a non-linear relationship to Au Fire Assay grade and is evaluated on a block by block basis in the resource model. To account for this variability, an NSR value was calculated for each block and cutoffs were then applied

to the NSR;3. The resource model was constructed in US units, and quantities and grades in the above table reflect conversion to metric units for reporting where applicable. NSR cut-offs and costs in the notes below are expressed in US$/short ton (ston);4. Resources are reported using a NSR cutoff grade of US$3.99/ston for the Central area, US$4.09/ston for the Central N. and Jasperoid Hill areas, US$3.94/ston for the Main and Radio Towers areas, US$4.04/ston for the Radio Towers N. area, and

US$3.99/ston for the Radio Towers2 area. The variable NSR cutoffs reflect differences in haulage cost;5. Resources in the table above are grouped by major mining area. Central and Central N. were combined, as were all Radio Towers mining areas.;6. Resources stated as contained within a potentially economically minable open pit; pit optimization parameters are: US$1,350/toz Au, an average Au Recovery of 61% for Radio Towers area and 67% for the Central/Main area , US$2.80/toz Au Sales

Cost, US$1.26/ston base waste mining cost, variable haulage costs by mining area, US$3.99/ston base mineralized material processing cost, 45° pit slopes for in-situ rock, and a 37° pit slope for fill/dumps; and7. Numbers in the table have been rounded to reflect the accuracy of the estimate and may not sum due to rounding.

The resource estimate and related geologic modeling for the Florida Canyon Mine were conducted by, or under the supervision of Tim Carew, M.Sc. P.Geo. of SRK Consulting (U.S.), Inc., Reno, Nevada. The mine planning and related reserve estimate were conducted by, or under the supervision of Justin Smith, P.E., SME-RM. of SRK Consulting (U.S.), Inc., Reno, Nevada.
