Forward Looking Information

This presentation contains certain forward-looking information as defined in applicable securities laws (referred to herein as forward-
looking statements). Specifically, this presentation contains forward-looking statements regarding the reserve and resource
estimates, ore grade, expected mine life, anticipated gold production, gold recovery, cash operating costs and other costs, capital
costs, sensitivity to metal prices and other sensitivities, financial analysis of the project, commencement of operations, potential
expansion opportunities, plans for organic growth and expected drilling activities. Forward-looking statements involve known and
unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which are beyond Detour Golds ability to predict or control and may cause Detour
Golds 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, 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 discussed in the section entitled Risk Factors in Detour Golds February 7, 2012 short form prospectus 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: the supply and demand for gold, and the level and volatility of the price of gold; the availability of financing for
exploration and development activities; the estimated timeline for the development of the Detour Lake gold project; the expected
mine life; anticipated gold production; gold recovery; the development schedule; cash operating costs and other costs; the financial
analysis for the project; capital costs; sensitivity to metal prices and other sensitivities; the accuracy of reserve and resource
estimates and the assumptions on which the reserve and resource estimates are based; the receipt of necessary permits; 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.

NI 43-101 Disclosure

Information Concerning Estimates of Mineral Reserves and Resources

The mineral reserve and resource estimates reported in this presentation were prepared in accordance with Canadian National
Instrument 43-101Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (NI 43-101), as required by Canadian securities regulatory
authorities. For United States reporting purposes, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) applies different
standards in order to classify mineralization as a reserve. In particular, while the terms measured, indicated and inferred mineral
resources are required pursuant to NI 43-101, the SEC does not recognize such terms. Canadian standards differ significantly from
the requirements of the SEC. Investors are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of the mineral deposits in these categories
constitute or will ever be converted into reserves. In addition, inferred mineral resources have a great amount of uncertainty as to
their existence and great uncertainty as to their 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 securities laws, issuers must not make any disclosure
of results of an economic analysis that includes inferred mineral resources, except in rare cases.

On January 31, 2011, Detour Gold announced an updated mineral resource and reserve estimate. The following QPs participated in
this update: Michel Dagbert, Eng., Senior Geostatistician and Andr Laferrire, P. Geo., Senior Geologist of SGS Canada Inc.
(mineral resources); and Andr Allaire, Eng., Director Mining and Metals and Patrice Live, Eng., Mining Manager of BBA Inc (mineral
reserve). The NI 43-101 compliant Technical Report for this update was filed on SEDAR on March 15, 2011.

On January 25, 2012, Detour Gold announced a mineral resource and reserve update. The following QPs participated in this update:
Michel Dagbert, Eng., Senior Geostatistician of SGS Canada Inc (mineral resources) and Patrice Live, Eng., Mining Manager of BBA
Inc (mineral reserves).

Conclusions

Contained ounces very similar (variance +4%)

Gold grade variance within 7%
Number of tonnes within acceptable range (variance up
to 11%)
40 x 40 metre drill spacing is appropriate for reserve
estimation
10x10 metre simulated grade control drill spacing tightens
the mineralized envelopes

RC Grade Control Rational

Blast Hole Grade Control not practical due to vertical nature of Detour
Lake deposit
Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling using inclined holes is a better grade
control method for vertical gold deposits
RC is not yet widely used in Canada
