This presentation may contain “forward-looking” statements within the meaning of Canadian securities legislation and the United States
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements relate to future events or the anticipated performance of the
Company and reflect management’s expectations or beliefs regarding such future events and anticipated performance. In certain cases,
forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as “plans”, “expects”, “is expected”, “budget”, “scheduled”,
”estimates”, ”forecasts”, ”intends”, ”anticipates” or “believes”, or variations of such words and phrases or statements that certain actions,
events or results “may”, ”could”, “would”, ”might”, or “will be taken”, “occur” or “be achieved”, or the negative of these words or
comparable terminology. By their very nature forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other
factors which may cause the actual performance of the Company to be materially different from any anticipated performance expressed or
implied by the forward-looking statements. Such factors include various risks related to the Company’s operations, including, without
limitation, fluctuations in spot and forward markets for gold, silver and other metals, fluctuations in currency markets, changes in national
and local governments in Mexico and the speculative nature of mineral exploration and development, risks associated with obtaining
necessary exploitation and environmental licenses and permits, and the presence of laws that may impose restrictions on mining. A
complete list of risk factors are described in the Company’s annual information form and will be detailed from time to time in the
Company’s continuous disclosure, all of which are, or will be available, for review on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
This presentation uses the terms “measured resources”, “indicated resources” and “inferred resources”. The Company advises readers
that although these terms are recognized and required by Canadian regulations (under National Instrument 43-101 Standards of
Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”), the United States Securities and Exchange Commission does not recognize them. Readers
are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of the mineral deposits in these categories will ever be converted in to reserves. In
addition, “inferred resources” have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence, and economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be
assumed that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Under Canadian rules, estimates of
inferred mineral resources may not form the basis of feasibility or pre-feasibility studies, or economic studies, except for a Preliminary
Assessment as defined under NI43-101. Investors are cautioned not to assume that part or all of an inferred resource exists, or is
economically or legally mineable.
Although the Company has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual performance to differ materially from that
described in forward-looking statements, there may be other factors that cause its performance not to be as anticipated. The Company
neither intends nor assumes any obligation to update these forward-looking statements or information to reflect changes in assumptions
or circumstances other than required by applicable law. There can be no assurance that forward-looking statements will prove to be
accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those currently anticipated. Accordingly, readers should not
place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.

Notes:
1. The average gold grade for Proven and Probable Reserves is adjusted for dilution while Measured and Indicated Resources is not. Contained metal in estimated reserves remains subject to
metallurgical recovery losses.
2. Black Fox reserves and resources are based on US$1,150/oz Au for 88% of production and US$500/oz Au for gold sold through the gold stream agreement from the NI 43-101 Technical
Report prepared by Tetra Tech dated January 2011. The Black Fox open pit reserves and resources are reported at a 0.88 gpt cutoff and the underground reserves and resources are reported
at a 2.54 gpt cutoff. Estimated Black Fox reserves and resources are shown as at December 31, 2012, net of mining depletion from the October 31, 2010 independent Technical Report.
3. A gold price of US$1,250/oz and an exchange rate of US$1.00=C$1.00 was utilized in the gold cut-off grade calculations of 2.63 gpt for potential underground at the Contact Zone and 0.65
gpt for potential open-pit 147 Zone mineral resources. Underground and open-pit mining costs, process costs and G&A costs were estimated using experience gained from Brigus' Black Fox
mine. Process recovery was assumed at 95%.
4. Disclosure of "contained ounces" is permitted under Canadian Regulations; however, the SEC permits resources to be reported only as in place tonnage and grade.
5. Paul Daigle, P.Geo of Tetra Tech is the Qualified Person who updated the Black Fox Mine Mineral Resource estimates in the Black Fox Technical Report and Dan Sweeney, P.Eng., of Tetra
Tech is the Qualified Person who reviewed the Black Fox Mineral Reserves estimates in the Black Fox Technical Report.

Notes:
1. The quantity and grade of reported Inferred resources in this estimation are uncertain in nature and there has been insufficient exploration to define these Inferred resources
as an Indicated or Measured mineral resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in upgrading them to an Indicated or Measured mineral resource category.
2. These Mineral Resources are not Mineral Reserves as they do not have demonstrated economic viability.
3. While the results are presented undiluted and in situ, the reported mineral resources are considered to have reasonable prospects for economic extraction.
4. CIM definitions and guidelines were followed for Mineral Resources.
5. A gold price of US$1,400/oz and an exchange rate of US$1.00=C$1.01 was utilized in the gold cut-off grade calculations of 2.84 g/t for potential underground and 0.72 g/t
for potential open-pit Mineral Resources. Underground and open-pit mining costs, process costs and G&A costs were estimated using experience gained from Brigus’ Black
Fox mine.
6. The Indicated category is defined by combining various statistical criteria, such as a minimum of three drill holes within the search area, a maximum distance of 15m to the
closest composite, and a maximum average distance of 25m to composites. Finally, a clipping boundary was interpreted to either upgrade or downgrade some of the resource
based on confidence and geological continuity.

Black Fox Gold Stream Agreement
On November 9, 2010, the previous owner of the Black Fox
mine announced that it had entered into a gold stream
agreement with Sandstorm Resources Ltd. pursuant to which
Sandstorm agreed to purchase 12% of the gold production from
the Black Fox mine beginning in January 2011 and 10% of future
production from the Black Fox extension covering a portion of
the adjoining Pike River property. Sandstorm made an upfront
payment of $56.3 million and will also pay ongoing per ounce
payments of $500 subject to an inflationary adjustment
beginning in 2013, not to exceed 2% per annum.
On November 5, 2012, the previous owner of the Black Fox
mine elected to exercise the option and repurchased 4% of the
Goldstream for $24.4 million. This reduced Sandstorm's portion
of future production at Black Fox to 8% and the Black Fox
Extension to 6.3%.

This presentation has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of Canadian provincial securities laws which differ from the requirements of
U.S. securities laws. Unless otherwise indicated, all mineral reserve and resource estimates included in this presentation have been prepared in
accordance with Canadian National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”) and the Canadian Institute of Mining,
Metallurgy and Petroleum classification systems. NI 43-101 is a rule developed by the Canadian Securities Administrators that establishes standards for
all public disclosure an issuer makes of scientific and technical information concerning mineral projects. These standards differ significantly from the
requirements of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), and reserve and resource estimates disclosed in this presentation
may not be comparable to similar information disclosed by U.S. companies.
The mineral reserve estimates in this presentation have been calculated in accordance with NI 43-101, as required by Canadian securities regulatory
authorities. For United States reporting purposes, SEC Industry Guide 7 under the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as
interpreted by Staff of the SEC, applies different standards in order to classify mineralization as a reserve. As a result, the definition of “probable
reserves” used in NI 43-101 differs from the definition in the SEC Industry Guide 7. Under SEC standards, mineralization may not be classified as a
“reserve” unless the determination has been made that the mineralization could be economically and legally produced or extracted at the time the
reserve determination is made. Among other things, all necessary permits would be required to be in hand or issuance imminent in order to classify
mineralized material as reserves under the SEC standards. Accordingly, mineral reserve estimates contained in this presentation may not qualify as
“reserves” under SEC standards.
In addition, this presentation uses the terms “indicated resources” and “inferred resources” to comply with the reporting standards in Canada. The
Company advises United States investors that while those terms are recognized and required by Canadian regulations, the SEC does not recognize them.
United States investors are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of the mineral deposits in these categories will ever be converted into mineral
reserves. Further, “inferred resources” have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence and as to whether they can be mined legally or
economically. Therefore, United States investors are also cautioned not to assume that all or any part of the “inferred resources” exist. In accordance
with Canadian securities laws, estimates of “inferred resources” cannot form the basis of feasibility or other economic studies. It cannot be assumed that
all or any part of “indicated resources” or “inferred resources” will ever be upgraded to a higher category or are economically or legally mineable. In
addition, disclosure of “contained ounces” is permitted disclosure under Canadian securities laws; however, the SEC only permits issuers to report
mineralization as in place tonnage and grade without reference to unit measures.
NI 43-101 also permits the inclusion of disclosure regarding the potential quantity and grade, expressed as ranges, of a target for further exploration
provided that the disclosure (i) states with equal prominence that the potential quantity and grade is conceptual in nature, that there has been
insufficient exploration to define a mineral resource and that it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the target being delineated as a mineral
resources, and (ii) states the basis on which the disclosed potential quantity and grade has been determined. Disclosure regarding exploration potential
has been included in this presentation. United States investors are cautioned that disclosure of such exploration potential is conceptual in nature by
definition and there is no assurance that exploration will result in any category of NI 43-101 mineral resources being identified.
Notes to Investors Regarding the Use
of Resources
33. TSX:P I NYSE:PPP I 33
1. Black Fox was subject to a gold purchase agreement which continues and was assumed by the Company upon its acquisition of the mine. According to
the gold purchase agreement, Sandstorm is entitled to 8% of production at the Black Fox mine and 6.3% at the Black Fox Extension.
2. Primero management estimates for Black Fox production, based on 2,300 – 2,300 tpd operation including underground throughput increasing to 1,000
tpd by end of Q4 2014.
3. Based on 365 days per year.
4. “Gold equivalent ounces” include revenue from silver converted to a gold equivalent based on estimated average realized commodity prices in 2014 of
$1,200 per ounce of gold and $7.96 per ounce of silver ounce (calculated using the silver purchase agreement contract price of $4.16 per ounce and
assuming excess silver beyond contract requirements is sold at an average silver price of $21 per ounce).
5. Silver production is subject to a silver purchase agreement. The silver purchase agreement dictates that until August 6, 2014 Primero will deliver to Silver
Wheaton a per annum amount equal to the first 3.5 million ounces of silver produced at San Dimas and 50% of any excess at $4.16 per ounce (increasing
by 1% per year). Thereafter Primero will deliver to Silver Wheaton a per annum amount equal to the first 6.0 million ounces of silver produced at San
Dimas and 50% of any excess at $4.20 per ounce (increasing by 1% per year). The Company will receive silver spot prices only after the annual
threshold amount has been delivered.
6. Cash costs and All-in Sustaining Costs are non-GAAP measures. Refer to the Company’s first quarter 2014 MD&A for a reconciliation to operating
expenses. Note the calculation of all-in sustaining costs at San Dimas changed with the acquisition of a second producing asset and subsequently does
