MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 (All amounts expressed in thousands of U.S. Dollars, unless otherwise stated)

Overview

Alacer is a leading low-cost intermediate gold producer whose primary focus is to leverage its cornerstone Çöpler Gold Mine1 and strong balance sheet as foundations to continue its organic multi-mine growth strategy, maximize free cash flow2, and therefore create maximum value for shareholders. The Çöpler Gold Mine is located in east-central Turkey in the Erzincan Province, approximately 1,100 kilometers ("km") southeast from Istanbul and 550km east from Ankara, Turkey's capital city.

Sustainability is of growing importance to all stakeholders, whether they are local communities, local and national governments, our shareholders or our employees. We are committed to honest and open disclosure and continuous improvement.

Alacer continues to pursue opportunities to further expand its current operating base to become a sustainable multi-mine producer with a focus on Turkey. The Çöpler Gold Mine is currently processing ore through two producing plants.

The systematic and focused exploration efforts in the Çöpler District have been successful as evidenced by the discovery of Çakmaktepe, the Ardich deposit3, and the Çöpler Saddle4 ("The Saddle") prospect. The Çöpler District remains the focus, with the goal of continuing to grow oxide resources that will deliver production into the future and additional sulfide resources to extend production from the sulfide plant. In the other regions of Turkey, targeted exploration work continues at a number of highly prospective exploration targets.

The successful commissioning of the sulfide plant and the exploration successes have provided the business with a number of exceptional growth and development opportunities. An updated Çöpler District Technical Report5 ("Technical Report") is planned to be issued in 2020, updating the performance expectations of the installed assets and defining the growth and development pathways.

Alacer is a Canadian Company incorporated in the Yukon Territory with its primary listing on the Toronto Stock Exchange. The Company also has a secondary listing on the Australian Securities Exchange where CHESS Depositary Interests ("CDIs") trade. Alacer owns an 80% interest in the world-class Çöpler Gold Mine in Turkey operated by Anagold Madencilik Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S. ("Anagold"), and the remaining 20% owned by Lidya Madencilik Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S. ("Lidya Mining").

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 (All amounts expressed in thousands of U.S. Dollars, unless otherwise stated)

Highlights

Operational

  • Gold production was 167,212 ounces through June 30, 2020 which is on track to meet 2020 guidance6.
  • The Çöpler Gold Mine achieved 3.9 million man-hours and 309 days lost-time injury (LTI) free at June 30, 2020.
  • The planned major shutdown of autoclave 1 in 2020, which was scheduled for June, was delayed due to the excellent condition found in autoclave 2 during its shutdown in March 2020. Year to date operating time for the autoclaves remains high at 93%.
  • Operations continued uninterrupted through the period. However, COVID restrictions and diversion of the remaining resources to manage COVID, and delayed improvement initiatives had some impact on operational performance. Proactively sending home older staff, and those with existing health conditions, also had an impact on mining operations through a shortfall of mine operators. This contributed to a decision to adopt a revised mine plan to diversify ore sources.
  • Consolidated All-In Sustaining Costs per ounce7 sold ("AISC") was $847 through June 30, 2020, which is above guidance6 of $735 to $785 per ounce primarily due to higher royalty expense from higher gold prices, SSR Mining merger costs, COVID-19 impact, and higher share based compensation expense due to the Company's higher share price. Adjusting for these items results in the Company's AISC being within guidance and the Company remains on track to meet its full year 2020 AISC guidance.

Growth

  • On May 11, 2020, Alacer and SSR Mining announced an at-market merger of equals to create a free cash flow focused, diversified gold producer. The combined entity will continue as SSR Mining Inc. and will be headquartered in Denver, Colorado with a corporate office in Vancouver, British Columbia and will be led by Michael Anglin as Chairman and Rod Antal as President and CEO.
  • The Company continued its focus on improving and extending oxide gold production in future years beyond the current Çöpler oxide reserves by accelerating the development of a number of near-mine targets within the Çöpler pits and surrounding areas with 15 drill rigs currently active.
  • Drilling activities at the Ardich deposit continued in Q2. Ardich has an interim Indicated Mineral Resource of approximately 817,000 ounces of gold (15.86 million tonnes at 1.60 g/t of gold ("Au") and an Inferred Mineral Resource of approximately 594,000 ounces of gold (8.80 million tonnes at 2.10 g/t Au).
  • An updated Çöpler District Technical Report ("Technical Report") is planned to be released in the second half of 2020. This will include preliminary development plans for Ardich, updating the performance expectations of the Çöpler sulfide plant, incorporating a proposed supplemental flotation circuit, as well as opportunities for tailings storage expansion and for resource conversion in Çöpler.
  • The potential for heap leach pad constraints has been eliminated with the progression of an approximate 25 million tonnes Çöpler heap leach pad expansion that will be built in phases over the coming years and providing approximately 5 years of additional oxide processing capacity. The first stage of this heap leach pad expansion is now available.
  • The Company continues to actively explore a number of highly prospective exploration targets across Turkey.

Financial

  • YTD attributable earnings were $57 million and YTD normalized attributable earnings8 were $0.19 per share
  • The Company ended the second quarter with consolidated cash9 of $279 million, debt10 of $245 million, resulting in a net cash position of $34 million.
  • Gold sales through June 30, 2020 were 166,220 ounces resulting in revenue of $273.6 million and cash flow from operating activities of $148.4 million.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 (All amounts expressed in thousands of U.S. Dollars, unless otherwise stated)

Alacer and SSR Mining Announce At-Market Merger of Equals

On May 11, 2020, Alacer and SSR Mining announced11 that they have entered into a definitive agreement to combine in an at-market merger of equals pursuant to a plan of arrangement under the Business Corporations Act (Yukon) (the "Transaction").

The combined entity will continue as SSR Mining Inc. and will be headquartered in Denver, Colorado with a corporate office in Vancouver, British Columbia and will be led by Michael Anglin as Chairman and Rod Antal, President and CEO. Following the completion of the Transaction, the new board of directors will be comprised of five directors from each of the current SSR Mining and Alacer boards of directors for a total of 10 directors, including the CEO.

Pursuant to the Transaction, Alacer shareholders will receive 0.3246 SSR Mining shares for each Alacer share held (the "Exchange Ratio"). The Exchange Ratio, together with closing prices for both SSR Mining and Alacer common shares on the Toronto Stock exchange on May 8, 2020, implies a consideration of C$8.19 per Alacer common share and a combined market capitalization of approximately $4.0 billion. At closing, SSR Mining and Alacer shareholders will collectively own approximately 57% and 43% of SSR Mining, respectively, on an issued and outstanding share basis.

Highlights of the Transaction include:

Diversified Operating Platform:

  • Creates a diversified portfolio of high quality, long life operating assets across four jurisdictions
  • Consensus12 forward-looking3-year average annual production profile of ~780koz AuEq at ~$900/oz AISC7

Experienced Leadership Team:

  • Combines management with shared track records of creating value through exploration, construction, and operations
  • Brings together expertise in open pit, underground, pressure oxidation, heap leach, and flotation operations

Free Cash Flow Leader:

  • Based on consensus estimates12, the combined entity is expected to generate peer leading average annual pro forma free cash flow2 of ~$450 million (2020E-2022E), well ahead of a peer group annual average of $275 million

Financial Strength:

  • Strong balance sheet with consolidated cash9 and marketable securities of ~$700 million to support growth pipeline and facilitate capital returns evaluation

Organic Growth Potential:

  • Three significant district scale land packages in USA, Canada, and Turkey
  • Attractive growth portfolio of low capital intensity greenfield and brownfield opportunities

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 (All amounts expressed in thousands of U.S. Dollars, unless otherwise stated)

  • Track record of resource conversion, successful greenfield and brownfield exploration, and project construction

Enhanced Market Presence:

  • Attractive trading liquidity across multiple global exchanges to drive enhanced capital markets presence and investor relevance

Transaction Conditions and Timing

Under the terms of the Agreement, the Transaction will be carried out by way of a court approved plan of arrangement under the Business Corporations Act (Yukon). On July 17, 2020, the final court order approving the Transaction was obtained.

On July 10, 2020, the Transaction was approved by approximately 99.9% of the votes cast by Alacer shareholders at a special meeting of shareholders representing 79.9% of eligible shares voted. SSR Mining shareholders approved the issuance of common shares to complete the Transaction by approximately 96.5% of the votes cast at SSR Mining's special meeting of shareholders representing 61.8% of eligible shares voted.

The Transaction is expected to close following the receipt of Turkish regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions.

Full details concerning the Transaction were included in the joint management information circular dated June 2, 2020 of both SSR Mining and Alacer that was mailed to their respective shareholders.

SSR Mining will be deemed the acquirer (for accounting purposes) in the Transaction and Alacer will cease to be a reporting issuer upon completion of the Transaction.

COVID-19

In order to mitigate the risks to our people, the communities in which we operate and our business, Alacer began planning and preparing in earnest early for the probable escalation of the COVID-19 pandemic. While there have been some indirect impacts caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Çöpler Gold Mine continues to operate, to date, without any material impact on the mining operations, logistics, supply chain, sales or financial position of the Company.

Our approach to preparations focused on:

First - Restricting non-essential travel and managing contact of our staff and contractors in order to reduce the chance of COVID-19 spreading to our areas of operations. Alacer has implemented an Infectious Diseases Outbreak Management plan ("IDOM") which includes elements such as:

  • Screening, separation, quarantine and rapid medical assessment for individuals arriving to site.
  • Implementation of an education and awareness program, using posters, toolbox talks, and other promotional resources.
  • Increased availability of personal protective equipment (PPE) supplies, masks, wipes, and hand sanitizers.

5

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 (All amounts expressed in thousands of U.S. Dollars, unless otherwise stated)

  • Temporarily closures of corporate offices, with our employees now working remotely and under significant travel restrictions.

Second - Planning for disease control and patient care should our areas of operation or our people become infected. For example, quarantine/treatment plans and local community cooperation/response plans are being initiated.

Third - Taking all reasonable measures and actions required for continued safe mine operations. These measures include logistics and supply chain planning as well as remote support from remote control nodes in Turkey, Australia and the United States. These remote-control nodes are primarily intended to allow remote experts access so that they can provide support and technical assurance for the plant operations.

Finally - If circumstances force operations to slow or to be temporarily suspended, Alacer has plans in place for a safe, orderly shutdown and a speedy restart to operations as soon as conditions allow. Alacer's strong balance sheet provides flexibility to weather a long shutdown, should it occur, and then a speedy restart to operations. The Company has a significant consolidated cash position9 of $279 million at June 30, 2020 that continues to increase through ongoing operations. Given the cash and cash generation profile of the Company, budget spending is currently unaffected, and liquidity is more than adequate to manage quarterly debt service of approximately $21 million.

The protection and care for people and the communities in which we work will remain paramount through these difficult times. Alacer is well prepared, both operationally and financially, to manage the challenge of the COVID-19 pandemic.

In keeping with these objectives, Alacer is postponing its annual meeting of shareholders to a later date in accordance with the Business Corporations Act (Yukon) and the relief granted by the Toronto Stock Exchange. Alacer will provide an update on the time and format of its annual meeting in due course.

The Turkish government, like other national governments, has implemented measures in response to COVID-19 to help ensure the liquidity and financial stability of companies operating in Turkey during the pandemic. Specifically, the Turkish government introduced legislation postponing the payment dates for certain taxes, royalty fees and permit fees and temporarily limiting the amount of cash dividends that can be paid by Turkish companies. The temporary restriction on dividends limits cash dividends to 25% of a company's 2019 net profit, though companies can apply to the government for an exemption from such restrictions. In light of the absence of any material impact on Alacer's mining operations in Turkey as a result of COVID-19 and the Company's strong cash position, Alacer paid our obligations in the normal course and does not expect the government's temporary restrictions on distributions to adversely impact our business.

Results of Operations

Çöpler Gold Mine

The Çöpler Gold Mine contains oxide and sulfide ores which are mined concurrently. The mining sequence is determined by detailed scheduling in a life-of-mine plan designed to optimize the value of the Mine. The Çöpler Gold Mine produced 167,212 ounces of gold through June 30, 2020.

COVID-19 induced restrictions for employee movement and proactively sending home older staff, and those with existing health issues, had some impact on mining operations through a shortfall of mine

operators. This contributed to a decision to adopt a revised mine plan to diversify ore sources. The revised mine plan includes both:

  1. Deferral of direct hauling (by stockpiling) and placement of 4 million tonnes of waste material into the tailings storage facility ("TSF") construction. This deferral of both the long-haul to and compaction into the TSF allows fleet hours to be refocused on mine development activities. Subsequent movement of waste material will push some costs to later years, albeit at a higher cost by adding re-handling. Note that despite the reduced construction rate this year, the TSF will still advance well ahead of operational requirements.
  2. Bringing forward a mining area in the Main Pit to diversify ore sources to access in-pit sulfide ore to supplement the stockpiled sulfide ore currently on hand. This will mitigate the potential grade deterioration, should there be a delay in accessing material from the Manganese Pit (which has a cutback scheduled to start delivering ore in late 2020) or if the difficulties presenting higher grades from stockpiles persists.

An updated Çöpler District Technical Report is planned to be issued in Q4 2020, updating the performance expectations of the installed assets and defining the growth and development pathways. This will include the updated mining schedules.

Sulfide Plant

The Çöpler sulfide plant was commissioned in November 2018 with a scheduled ramp-up of 18 months. The plant ramped up in line with expectations through June 30, 2020. The plant is now operating consistently at or above design throughput rates. Current throughput rates are approximately 115% of annualized design. Higher sulfide plant throughput offset lower than planned plant recovery and feed grade.

In March 2020, after approximately 16 months in service, the first full shutdown and internal inspection of autoclave 2 was successfully completed. The inspection revealed almost no scaling or wear, which is a very positive indicator for future performance of the autoclaves.

The planned shutdown of autoclave 1 in 2020, which was scheduled for June, was delayed due to the excellent condition found in autoclave 2 during its shutdown in March. A short, opportunistic shutdown of autoclave 1 was undertaken in July, and the inspection found the autoclave to be in excellent condition and only minor works were undertaken. Operating time for the autoclaves was high at 93% through June 30, 2020.

The 2020 Çöpler Technical Report, planned to be issued in Q4 2020, will update the operating parameters of the plant and include the results of the optimization studies and programs, including the proposed supplemental flotation circuit. Detailed engineering for the proposed flotation circuit is underway and the final construction decision remains subject to final Board and other approvals once the technical work is complete. If approved, the flotation circuit commissioning is targeted for Q1 2021. As a proactive measure, the flotation circuit was included in the recent amendment to the Çöpler Environmental Impact Assessment application.

The proposed flotation circuit would treat a side stream from the grinding circuit, with the concentrate reporting to autoclave feed and the tails to carbon in pulp. Preliminary studies indicate that there would be a negative recovery impact due to the float tails recovery; however, this will be more than offset by increased plant throughput. The currently installed grinding mills have demonstrated significant latent capacity sufficient to support an increase in sulfide plant throughput capacity up to approximately 3Mtpa. The preliminary capital estimate for the proposed flotation circuit is approximately $15 million. The flotation circuit is anticipated to increase the gold and sulfide sulfur grades processed through the autoclaves (increasing autoclave and oxygen utilization), reduce unit costs, and increase total sulfide plant throughput and gold production.

Ore feed presentation to the sulfide plant is an ongoing focus area. Reduced chemistry variability has enabled the improved operating performance to above design throughput rates. An updated mine plan providing earlier access to ore will facilitate blending and ore presentation. The proposed flotation circuit, in addition to increasing overall plant throughput, will also ease the constraints on ore presentation, allowing the sulfide plant to accept higher carbonate and lower sulfide grades.

Plant gold recovery has averaged approximately 91% through June 30, 2020. Projects are underway to increase gold recovery. As a result of COVID-19, some new specialist equipment sourced from Europe was

delayed. Some improvement in recovery was achieved by installation of oxygen injection into the leach tanks which was commissioned late in June. The impact of this improvement project is still to be optimized and quantified.

To protect the supply chain, some inventory storage has increased, extra storage facilities have been implemented and alternate suppliers engaged. As a result, there will be a small increase in working capital and some reagent costs in 2020.

The sulfide plant produced 120,481 ounces of gold through June 30, 2020.

Sulfide plant

The TSF is a downstream mass rock fill construction and the phased construction continues. Independent external expert reviews of the TSF design and construction were carried out in 2019. No material issues were identified, and the design, construction and management of the facility were assessed as fit for purpose and in line with accepted international criteria. Independent external expert reviews of the design, construction and operation of the TSF are scheduled annually.

Tailings storage facility

As of June 30, 2020, the sulfide ore stockpiles contained approximately 6.4 million tonnes at an average grade of 2.61 g/t gold or approximately 537,000 contained gold ounces.

Oxide Plant

Gold production from the oxide plant was 46,731 ounces through June 30, 2020. In addition to the gold in the known reserve, the Company has been undertaking a successful in-pit exploration program to identify additional oxide ore. The in-pit exploration program has been successful over recent years and the Company expects the program to continue to deliver additional oxide ore production.

A scoping study to determine the optimal pathway for the expansion of the heap leach oxide processing capacity in the Çöpler District identified various options for standalone facilities and heap leach pads of varying size (some >50Mt), along with low-cost incremental expansion options at Çöpler (approximately 25Mt of additional heap leach capacity). These options provide pathways to accelerate low-cost, near- term development of Çakmaktepe phase two, the Ardich deposit, the Saddle prospect or other Çöpler District prospects, as well as options for a new separate heap leach development should the Greater Çakmaktepe/Ardich deposit grow.

The potential for heap leach pad constraints has been eliminated with the progression of an approximate 25 million tonnes Çöpler heap leach pad expansion that will be built in phases over the coming years and providing approximately 5 years of additional oxide processing capacity.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 (All amounts expressed in thousands of U.S. Dollars, unless otherwise stated)

  • Phase one of construction was ready to start to receive ore in Q2 2020 and will ultimately provide approximately 6 million tonnes of heap leach pad capacity for approximately $12 million.
  • Detailed engineering and permitting for subsequent phases are progressing in parallel.

Çöpler Gold Mine and Oxide Heap Leach Pad

Çakmaktepe Mine

As a result of the very successful phase one of Çakmaktepe oxide ore mining in 2019, an additional exploration program has commenced in the Çakmaktepe permitted mining area. The aim of this short exploration program is to fast track phase two of oxide ore mining from areas of Çakmaktepe which are already permitted and ready for mining.

As exploration and understanding of the geology of Çakmaktepe and the Ardich deposits advance, it appears that there is connectivity between the areas, potentially creating an expanded "Greater Çakmaktepe" development pathway.

Total gold production of 79,349 ounces in Q2 2020 was 20% lower than Q2 2019 in line with the mine plan.

Gold production from the oxide plant of 21,668 ounces was 49% lower than Q2 2019 primarily due to the mine plan. There was no mining of Çakmaktepe ore in Q2 2020.

Gold production from the sulfide plant of 57,681 ounces was in line with production in Q2 2019.

Gold Sales

Total gold sales of 76,616 ounces in Q2 2020 were 24% lower than Q2 2019 in line with the lower production.

Mining

Oxide ore tonnes mined in Q2 2020 of 430,027 tonnes were 60% lower than in Q2 2019. The contained gold ounces in the oxide ore mined were 12,776 in Q2 2020 or 79% lower than Q2 2019 as expected in the mine plan due to the completion of Çakmaktepe phase one mining in 2019. The Q2 2020 oxide ore mined grade was 0.92 g/t as compared to 1.76 g/t in Q2 2019.

Sulfide ore tonnes mined in Q2 2020 of 601,067 tonnes were well above the sulfide ore tonnes mined in Q2 2019 in line with the mine plan to bring forward a mining area in the Main Pit to diversify ore sources to access in-pit sulfide ore to supplement the stockpiled sulfide ore currently on hand.

The total waste tonnes mined in Q2 2020 of 5,644,048 were 37% higher than Q2 2019 in line with the mine plan.

Oxide Plant

The stacked oxide ore in Q2 2020 contained 14,146 ounces of gold which was 72% lower than Q2 2019 due to the mine plan.

Sulfide Plant

The sulfide plant treated 546,320 tonnes of sulfide ore in Q2 2020 which was significantly higher than Q2 2019 as the sulfide plant was only one month into the post-commercial production declaration phase in Q2 2019.

Cost Metrics

Consolidated Total Cash Costs (C2) per ounce7 sold in Q2 2020 of $628 were 29% higher than in Q2 2019 due to the inclusion of C2 cost metrics for sulfide, the non-recurrence of mining high grade Çakmaktepe ore and from higher royalty expense due to the higher gold price. The Consolidated Total Cash Costs (C2) per ounce7 sold is expected to decrease in the second half of 2020 upon commencement of mining phase two of Çakmaktepe.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 (All amounts expressed in thousands of U.S. Dollars, unless otherwise stated)

Mine site oxide only All-in Sustaining Costs per ounce7 sold in Q2 2020 of $988 were 98% higher than in Q2 2019 primarily due to lower oxide ounces sold and the non-recurrence of mining at Çakmaktepe and higher sustaining capital spend on the 6mt Heap Leach pad expansion.

Mine site sulfide only All-in Sustaining Costs per ounce7 sold in Q2 2020 of $779 were 36% higher than in Q2 2019 primarily due to higher sustaining capital expenditure on the TSF construction.

Consolidated All-in Sustaining Costs per ounce7 sold of $1,019 were 68% higher than in Q2 2019 due to higher C2 costs, which included higher royalty expense due to the higher gold prices, higher sustaining capital related to the heap leach pad expansion and TSF construction, SSR Mining merger costs, and significantly higher share based compensation expense due to the Company's higher share price. Adjusting for the above items, the Company's Q2 2020 AISC would have been reduced by over $200 per ounce (or approximately $800/oz).

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 (All amounts expressed in thousands of U.S. Dollars, unless otherwise stated)

Exploration and Development

The Company continues to explore and expand its development pipeline, looking for both near-mine projects that can leverage the existing Çöpler Gold Mine infrastructure and new standalone projects.

The Company holds a significant portfolio of highly prospective exploration land holdings across Turkey, some of which are currently being drilled. The Company has a disciplined and systematic approach to exploration and is constantly evaluating the portfolio. Currently the exploration portfolio consists of approximately 125,000 hectares with rights to acquire approximately 55,000 hectares and approximately 9,000 hectares relinquished in 2019.

The results of Alacer's exploration program and the current portfolio, especially near-mine Çöpler, have significantly increased the confidence that these deposits and prospects will add to the Company's portfolio of operating assets both in the near and medium-term, paving the way for the Company to be a sustainable multi-mine producer.

The success of the sulfide plant commissioning and the exploration program has provided the business with a number of exceptional growth and development opportunities. An updated Çöpler District

Çöpler District

The Company has taken a very disciplined approach to exploration of the Çöpler District, including data mining the Company's historical exploration database, remapping, reinterpretation and judicious drill confirmation of models. The results of this work are apparent with recent discoveries, such as Çakmaktepe, the Ardich deposit, the Saddle prospect and many other advanced exploration targets. The Çöpler District can be broadly categorized into five areas: Çöpler Gold Mine, Çakmaktepe, Ardich, the Mavialtin Porphyry Belt and Demirmağara.

The Company's capital allocation focus is to fast track the extension of the Çöpler Gold Mine oxide ore production, along with the mobilization of a project and development team to deliver the growth potential identified around the Çöpler District.

The COVID-19 pandemic has delayed exploration drilling, because of restrictions of movement and equipment. As a result of this, the planned ramp up of the drill program at the Ardich deposit and other areas has been delayed. This will have some impact on the rate that the Company can convert areas into production. Despite the restrictions, the Company has still managed to mobilize fifteen exploration diamond core drill rigs which are currently active in the Çöpler District: eleven drill rigs at the Greater Çakmaktepe (southern Ardich) deposit, three in the Çöpler Gold Mine pit and one in the Mavialtin Belt. Exploration is active at Çakmaktepe, the Ardich deposit and in the Saddle prospect.

Community and social engagement, which is always critical to the development of new mining areas, has also been slowed by COVID-19. Permitting and government engagement processes are also expected to be impacted by social distancing practices and the focus of government officials on dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic. This may delay access to some new mining areas. However, some areas such as Southern Ardich (Greater Çakmaktepe) have an easier permitting and access pathway. The Company is working to accelerate the technical work required to allow these areas to come into the schedule earlier, which will be important, especially in the event that land access to Northern Ardich is delayed.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 (All amounts expressed in thousands of U.S. Dollars, unless otherwise stated)

Çöpler Gold Mine

The operating mine is the foundation for district exploration activities, with established infrastructure for treating both oxide and sulfide gold ores. Following the successful completion of phase one mining at Çakmaktepe, the ability to execute the Çöpler Gold Mine near‐mine development strategy has been proven.

The potential for heap leach pad constraints has been eliminated with the progression of an approximate 25 million tonnes Çöpler heap leach pad expansion that will be built in phases over the coming years and providing approximately 5 years of additional oxide processing capacity.

o Phase one of construction was completed and is now available to receive ore and will ultimately provide approximately 6 million tonnes of heap leach pad capacity.

o Detailed engineering and permitting for subsequent phases are progressing in parallel.

Starting in 2017, the Çöpler Gold Mine in‐pit exploration program successfully provided additional oxide ore to the processing facilities, and it is expected to continue in the future. The in‐pit exploration program is ongoing with some contribution being included in the 2020 production schedules.

Çöpler Saddle

The Saddle prospect (80% Alacer owned) has been defined by surface mapping and soil sampling on a 25 meter ("m") by 25m grid (gold geochemistry). The Saddle prospect borders the western flank of the Çöpler Gold Mine with a shear zone passing through the existing Çöpler Gold Mine West Pit, which is currently in production. The shear zone is defined as an arc-like structure running north-south for approximately 2km.

The Company announced the results of the initial testing of the Saddle4 prospect which consisted of 50 diamond drill holes outside of the Çöpler Resource shells and planned mining areas.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 (All amounts expressed in thousands of U.S. Dollars, unless otherwise stated)

Çakmaktepe Mine

Çakmaktepe13 is located approximately 5km to the east of the existing Çöpler Gold Mine infrastructure and is connected by a haul road. Mining of phase one of Çakmaktepe was completed in 2019. Çakmaktepe is owned on a 50% basis with Alacer's joint venture partner, Lidya Mining.

As a result of the very successful phase one of Çakmaktepe oxide ore mining in 2019, an additional exploration program has commenced in the Çakmaktepe permitted mining area. The aim of this short exploration program is to fast track phase two of oxide ore mining from areas of Çakmaktepe which are already permitted and ready for mining.

Ardich Gold Deposit

The Ardich gold deposit is located primarily on the 80% Alacer owned Anagold tenement and is 6km northeast of the Çöpler Gold Mine and processing facilities with an existing access road connecting the nearby Çakmaktepe operations.

The Ardich gold deposit is a listwanite-dolomite hosted gold replacement deposit with mineralization occurring along thrust zones between listwanite, ophiolites, hornfels, dolomites and limestones. Mineralization and alteration extend in a NW-SE direction, parallel to major structures controlling both mineralization and block rotations. Gold grades increase at dolomite-listwanite contacts and within silica- rich listwanites. Based on available drill data, the main mineralized zone appears tabular and almost flat.

In 2019, the Company announced a significant extension of the mineralization of the Ardich gold deposit3 ("Ardich update") which increased the interim Indicated Mineral Resource to approximately 817,000 ounces of gold (15.86 million tonnes at 1.60 g/t gold) and the Inferred Mineral Resource to approximately 594,000 ounces of gold (8.80 million tonnes at 2.10 g/t gold). Exploration has been focused on determining the extent of the viable mineralized target rather than infill drilling for resource conversion. Once the mineralized system dimensions and geology are better understood, a more comprehensive infill drilling program will commence with the aim of defining an expanded Resource and Reserve estimate. Exploration is being accelerated. The interim Mineral Resource extends approximately 1.4km along a NW/SE strike, representing areas with enough drill density to define a Resource. Surface mapping indicates the mineralized target could extend beyond 2km. The updated Mineral Resource estimate consists of predominantly oxide ore with some sulfide ore which is confined to small pyrite rich jasperoid zones.

Ardich's 2018 resource pit shell is already approaching the Çakmaktepe North reserve pit shell. As exploration and understanding of the geology of the Çakmaktepe and the Ardich deposits advance, it appears that there is probable connectivity between the areas, potentially creating an expanded "Greater Çakmaktepe" development pathway. Drilling in Q2 2020 has focused on defining the connections especially around the mineralized fault that appears to be a source of mineralization for both the Ardich deposit and Çakmaktepe.

The Mineral Resource updates demonstrate the deposit's growth and continued upside potential.

21

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 (All amounts expressed in thousands of U.S. Dollars, unless otherwise stated)

Additional drilling, metallurgical testing and geotechnical studies are underway. The Company has prioritized near-mine exploration (the Ardich deposit, Çöpler Gold Mine, the Saddle prospect and Çakmaktepe) to achieve near‐term access and mining with the potential to add near‐surface ounces to the Company's production profile within the next two to three years and beyond.

Çakmaktepe, the Ardich deposit and the Saddle prospect represent the next phase of the Company's execution of the Çöpler Gold Mine near‐mine development strategy. The current exploration program includes both exploration drilling used to define mineralization and to obtain samples needed for continued metallurgical studies. Concurrently, work is underway to determine options for a starter pit in the known mineralization and advancing requirements for permitting and project development.

Opportunities exist to process Ardich or Saddle oxide ore at the existing Ҫӧpler oxide plant facilities utilizing the approximately 25 million tonnes heap leach pad expansion or to construct standalone processing facilities at Ardich. Options for standalone facilities and heap leach pad facilities of varying size (some >50 Mt) have been conceptualized should the Ardich deposit grow. Opportunities also exist to process the Ardich deposit sulfide ore at the Çöpler sulfide plant facilities.

The Mavialtin Porphyry Belt (Gold & Copper Prospect)

The Mavialtin Porphyry Belt (50% Alacer owned) extends from the Ardich gold deposit in the north to Mavidere (previously called Karakartal) in the south. Mavialtin is a structural corridor approximately 6-7 km wide and extending over approximately 20km from the Çakmaktepe deposit to the Mavidere porphyry deposit. Mavialtin hosts at least four areas of porphyry gold-copper mineralization, namely Mavidere, Findiklidere, Saridere, and Aslantepe.

22

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 (All amounts expressed in thousands of U.S. Dollars, unless otherwise stated)

Map of the Mavialtin Porphyry Belt

In February 2020, the Company announced positive drill results for Mavialtin14 which confirmed and extended the known extent of mineralization in Mavidere, Findiklidere, and Aslantepe. Building off historical exploration work, the Company remapped, reinterpreted and then drilled an additional sixteen diamond drill holes (nine in Mavidere, five in Findiklidere, and two in Aslantepe). The tested porphyries are at or close to surface, with mineralization typical of porphyries and appear to be low in other metals and arsenic.

The disciplined approach to exploration of the Çöpler District, which includes data mining the Company's historical exploration database, remapping, reinterpretation and judicious drill confirmation of models, has led to reinterpretation of the Mavialtin Porphyry Belt and a better understanding of the prospect. This has resulted in new and refined exploration targets.

The area has extensive surface rock and soil geochemistry anomalies. Alacer also previously drilled some areas of Mavialtin confirming gold and copper mineralization. Commencing in 2012, the Company released several exploration announcements including results for these prospects.

Recent mapping of the Mavialtin Porphyry Belt has revealed very significant alteration areas along the belt. For example, the new discovery of the Saridere prospect has potassic alteration outcrops over

23

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 (All amounts expressed in thousands of U.S. Dollars, unless otherwise stated)

approximately 800m by 500m and a sericite‐quartz ± pyrite alteration is present over 4.3km by 0.6km on the eastern margin of the basement granodiorite and marks a color anomaly. This indicates the probability that there is either a very large porphyry system or series of clustering porphyries in the area. This is very encouraging because the porphyries in the district have gold and copper mineralization.

Mavidere porphyry prospect exploration is currently focused on achieving a material increase in the known mineralization by step-out drilling testing of recently discovered stockwork areas. During 2018- 2019 field seasons, nine diamond drill holes were completed, totaling 3,686.9m. Further drilling will be required to define southeast extension of the mineralized body.

Detailed prospect size alteration and lithology mapping has been completed, resulted in defining a large alteration shell with quartz veining. This area will be drill tested in 2020.

The exploration and future development strategy for Mavialtin is two‐fold:

  1. Expand the known areas of mineralization, while concurrently making new discoveries, to economically justify a standalone mine; and/or
  2. Develop a Mavialtin Complex where various smaller deposits could be processed through a central facility.

Mavialtin's future developmental potential and optionality are illustrated by:

  1. Proximity to existing operations/infrastructure in the Çöpler Gold Mining District
  2. Near surface nature of the mineralization
  3. Length of the mineralized intercepts which indicate the potential for volume
  4. Some high-grade intercepts

In the Findiklidere porphyry prospect, a new potassic alteration zone was identified approximately 500m south of the known Findiklidere porphyry mineralization and was subjected to detail alteration/vein- density mapping. In 2019, five diamond holes were completed, totaling 2,501m in the two porphyry zones at Findiklidere.

Aslantepe porphyry copper-gold prospects is another porphyry mineralization located within the Mavialtin Porphyry Belt. Alacer drilled two diamond core holes totaling 440.3m in 2018, resulting in detailed mapping and surface sampling during 2019.

The Company owns 80% of Mavialtin within the Anagold leases and 50% within the Kartaltepe leases, as a joint venture with our partner, Lidya Mining. The Company also holds a 2% net smelter return13 for two of the Mavialtin Kartaltepe leases which includes Çakmaktepe, Bayramdere, Aslantepe and part of Findiklidere.

Demirmağara Prospect

The Demirmağara prospect is on the 80% Alacer owned Anagold tenement area and has both epithermal mineralization and evidence of porphyry alteration with areas of elevated soil and rock, gold and copper geochemistry.

Similar to the other prospects in the portfolio, the Alacer exploration team has taken a very disciplined approach to exploration in Demirmağara, such as data mining the Company's historical exploration database, remapping, reinterpretation and conservative drill confirmation of models, resulting in a reinterpretation of Demirmağara. Subsequently, the Company discovered a covered porphyry stockwork system near surface which was identified by a trench sampling revealing potassic granodiorites. The Company has received forestry permits and plans to drill as part of the 2020 exploration plan.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 (All amounts expressed in thousands of U.S. Dollars, unless otherwise stated)

Copper Hill Copper Exploration Prospect

Initial drill results from the Copper Hill copper exploration prospect in the Black Sea region (northeast Turkey) were issued on April 22, 202015. The initial testing of the target consisted of eight diamond drill holes totaling 3,180.8m. Seven of the eight holes intersected sulfide (chalcopyrite) copper mineralization, many with impressive grades including holes:

  • EKD-02:40.8m @ 0.87% Cu from 77.7m and 40.8m @ 2.66% Cu from 144.7m, including 16.7m @ 4.7% Cu from 152.9m and 8.2m @ 2.95% Cu from 174m, and 16.6m @ 0.44% Cu from 202m and 10.9m @ 0.5% Cu from 290.4m
  • EKD-03:6m @ 0.39% Cu from 33m and 10.5m @ 0.2% Cu from 45m and 70.3m @ 1.66% Cu from 83.7m, including 4.4m @ 8.25% Cu from 115.3m
  • EKD-04:51m @ 0.98% Cu from 13m and 6.7m @ 0.6% Cu from 120.4m and 10.3m @ 0.77% Cu from 133.4m and 45.7m @ 2.03% Cu from 158.7m, including 17.7m @ 3.99% Cu from 162.8m

The intercepts are high grade, close to surface and appear to be very low in contaminates. The drilling pattern was constrained to areas previously permitted for drilling. Additional diamond drilling is planned in 2020 to test the extension of the mineralization, pending approval of new drill permits and weather.

The Copper Hill copper exploration prospect is covered by subvolcanic porphyritic intermediate magmatic rocks and volcano-sedimentary unit that contains interbedded limestone. Skarn-typecopper-iron occurrences (chalcopyrite-magnetite) developed along the contacts between limestone and porphyries. In the limited area where the skarn is at surface, the mineralization consists of chalcopyrite, specular- hematite and magnetite with exotic copper such as malachite. All mineralization in the drill holes reported here was primary Copper - Sulfide mineralization (chalcopyrite).

Alacer owns 50% of the Copper Hill copper exploration prospect in a joint venture with our long-term partner, Lidya Mining. The Lidya mining exploration team made the discovery of the Copper Hill prospect. Lidya is preparing to drill at the Copper Hill prospect.

Turkey Regional Exploration

The Company holds a significant portfolio of highly prospective exploration land holdings across Turkey, some of which are progressively advancing to prospective projects. The Company continues to explore and expand its development pipeline, looking for both near-mine projects that can leverage the existing Çöpler Gold Mine infrastructure and new standalone projects.

Second Quarter 2020 vs. Second Quarter 2019

Revenue of $131.3 million was 36% higher than Q2 2019 due to an increase in gold ounces sold reflected in Revenue and from a 30% higher average realized gold price. In Q2 2020, all gold sales proceeds16 from the sulfide plant were recognized as Revenue in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Profit. In Q2 2019, only one month of gold sales proceeds16 from the sulfide plant was recognized as Revenue in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Profit. The other two months of gold sales proceeds16 from the sulfide plant were capitalized to Mineral Property and Equipment in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Financial Position along with the associated operating costs and not shown as Revenue in accordance with IFRS as Q2 2019 included the period prior to declaration of commercial production of the

sulfide plant. Total cost of sales in Q2 2020 of $71.0 million increased 33% as compared to Q2 2019 in line with higher Revenues.

Attributable net profit of $8.4 million for Q2 2020 was significantly higher compared to Q2 2019 primarily due to recognizing all gold sales proceeds from the sulfide plant as Revenue. In Q2 2019, two months of gold sales proceeds from the sulfide plant were capitalized to Mineral Property and Equipment in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Financial Position in accordance with IFRS as Q2 2019 included the period prior to declaration of commercial production of the sulfide plant.

Cash and cash equivalents increased $41.4 million during Q2 2020 as compared to an increase of $7.1 million in Q2 2019 reflecting higher gold sales proceeds from higher average gold prices and the non- recurrence of classifying certain cash balances as restricted related to the establishment of a debt service reserve account required as part of the Company's finance facility. The Company's consolidated cash9 position as of June 30, 2020 was $279 million as compared to $125 million as of June 30, 2019.

Operating cash flows of $85.0 million in Q2 2020 were $58.6 million higher than in Q2 2019 due to higher revenue and higher average realized gold prices and include gold sales proceeds from the sulfide plant and associated operating costs for the period through June 30, 2020. Gold sales proceeds from the sulfide plant and associated operating costs were only included in Q2 2019 operating cash flows for one month and were instead reflected in investing cash flows in accordance with IFRS as Q2 2019 included the period prior to declaration of commercial production of the sulfide plant.

Investing outflows of $15.1 million in Q2 2020 were $18.0 million higher than in Q2 2019 and reflect a more normalized investing outflow environment with inclusion of regular capital expenditure for the heap leach pad expansion and TSF. In Q2 2019, investing cash outflows included gold sales proceeds from the sulfide plant and associated operating costs for two months which substantially offset the effect of regular capital expenditure.

Financing outflows of $28.5 million in Q2 2020 were $6.1 million higher than in Q2 2019 primarily due to a $5.5 million distribution to our joint venture partner which is classified as a non-controlling interest distribution in the Company's Q2 2020 Statement of Cash Flows.

Year to date 2020 vs. Year to date 2019

Revenue of $273.6 million through June 30, 2020 was 61% higher than through June 30, 2019 due to an increase in gold ounces sold reflected in Revenue and from a 26% higher average realized gold price. Through June 30, 2020, all gold sales proceeds16 from the sulfide plant were recognized as Revenue in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Profit. Through June 30, 2019, only one month of gold sales proceeds16 from the sulfide plant was recognized as Revenue in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Profit. The other five months of gold sales proceeds were capitalized to Mineral Property and Equipment in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Financial Position along with the associated operating costs and not shown as Revenue in accordance with IFRS as Q2 2019 included the period prior to declaration of commercial production of the sulfide plant. Total cost of sales of $151.2 million through June 30, 2020 increased 63% compared to through June 30, 2019 in line with higher Revenues.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 (All amounts expressed in thousands of U.S. Dollars, unless otherwise stated)

Attributable net profit of $57.0 million through June 30, 2020 was significantly higher compared to through June 30, 2019 primarily due to recognizing all gold sales proceeds from the sulfide plant as Revenue through June 30, 2020 and from an income tax benefit recognized in Q1 2020 related to additional incentive tax credits which is further described in the "Income tax expense (benefit)" section. Through June 30, 2019, five months of gold sales proceeds from the sulfide plant were capitalized to Mineral Property and Equipment in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Financial Position in accordance with IFRS as through June 30, 2019 included the period prior to declaration of commercial production of the sulfide plant.

Cash and cash equivalents increased $46.0 million through June 30, 2020 as compared to a decrease of $26.0 million through June 30, 2019 reflecting higher gold sales proceeds from the sulfide plant and the non-recurrence of classifying certain cash balances as restricted related to the establishment of a debt service reserve account required as part of the Company's finance facility. The Company's consolidated cash9 position as of June 30, 2020 was $279 million as compared to $125 million as of June 30, 2019.

Operating cash flows of $148.4 million through June 30, 2020 were $88.6 million higher than through June 30, 2019 due to higher revenue and higher average realized gold prices and include gold sales proceeds from the sulfide plant and associated operating costs for the period through June 30, 2020. Gold sales proceeds from the sulfide plant and associated operating costs through June 30, 2019 were only included in operating cash flows for one month and were instead reflected in investing cash flows for five months in accordance with IFRS as through June 30, 2019 included the period prior to declaration of commercial production of the sulfide plant.

Investing outflows of $28.1 million through June 30, 2020 were $29.7 million higher than through June 30, 2019 and reflect a more normalized investing outflow environment with inclusion of regular capital expenditure for the heap leach pad expansion and TSF. Through June 30, 2019, investing cash outflows included gold sales proceeds from the sulfide plant and associated operating costs for five months which substantially offset the effect of regular capital expenditure.

Financing outflows of $74.3 million through June 30, 2020 were $13.5 million lower than through June 30, 2019 primarily due to the non-recurrence of originally classifying certain cash balances as restricted related to the debt service reserve account required as part of the Company's finance facility. Financing outflows through June 30, 2020 did include a $25.5 million distribution to our joint venture partner which is classified as a non-controlling interest distribution in the Company's Q2 2020 Statement of Cash Flows.

Total Gold Sales Proceeds

The Company sold 166,220 ounces of gold through June 30, 2020 resulting in total gold sales proceeds16 of $273.6 million all of which was recognized as Revenue. Through June 30, 2019, five months of gold sales proceeds from the sulfide plant were capitalized to Mineral Property and Equipment in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Financial Position in accordance with IFRS as the period through June 30, 2019 included the period prior to declaration of commercial production of the sulfide plant.

General and administrative costs were higher in Q2 2020 compared to Q2 2019 due to the costs associated with strategic considerations. Transaction costs related to the SSR Mining/Alacer proposed business combination were approximately $3.6 million through June 30, 2020 and included within General and administrative costs.

Share‐based employee compensation costs represent long-term incentives that are tied to the price of the Company's shares. Incentive grants are generally expensed over a three-year vesting period. The unvested units are subject to mark‐to‐market adjustments based on the share price at the end of the period and assumptions related to business performance measures. The share-based employee compensation cost increased in Q2 2020 in line with the Company's share price during the quarter.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 (All amounts expressed in thousands of U.S. Dollars, unless otherwise stated)

Foreign exchange gain/loss results mostly from movements between USD and TRY exchange rates as applied to Turkish operations. As the TRY weakened by 4.9% in Q2 2020, a loss of approximately $9.3 million was incurred from the realized and unrealized gains/losses from foreign currency revaluation of monetary balance sheet accounts denominated in TRY including the deferred tax asset. In Q2 2019, the TRY weakened by 2.3%. The most significant TRY denominated asset is the deferred income tax asset related to the incentive tax credits.

Finance costs were higher in Q2 2020 compared to Q2 2019 as interest and borrowing costs incurred related to the Company's finance facility are no longer capitalized to Mineral Property and Equipment upon the Company's declaration of commercial production of the sulfide plant and instead expensed in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Profit. In Q2 2019, the interest and borrowing costs incurred related to the Company's finance facility were capitalized to Mineral Property and Equipment for two months in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Financial Position in accordance with IFRS.

Other loss in Q2 2020 of $0.2 million primarily relates to hedging losses which is further described in the "Financial Instruments and other Instruments" section. In Q2 2019, the Company incurred an impairment loss on the sale of its 50% non-operating interest in the joint venture, Polimetal, which owns the Gediktepe Project.

The income tax benefit of $18.6 million for the six months period ending June 30, 2020 was driven by the recognition of a $48 million benefit related to additional incentive tax credits being recognized from qualified spend relating to the Sulfide Project. A detailed review was undertaken of expenditure related to the Sulfide Project for the years 2014 to 2019. The review concluded that some additional costs related to the finance facility (including interest cost and foreign exchange loss) that were utilized for the construction of the sulfide plant qualified as eligible spend for incentive tax credits in accordance with the current incentive certificate. As a result of this review, the Company recognized a $48 million income tax benefit in Q1 2020 for additional incentive tax credits.

The income tax (benefit) expense also reflects the FX impact on the deferred tax liability due to the weakening of the TRY. The number of incentive tax credits being generated is reducing following completion of the Sulfide Plant construction; however, incentive tax credits for the ongoing TSF construction, heap leach pad expansion, and some other construction spend will continue. Application of the incentive tax credits reduces accounting income tax expense in the current period and offsets current and future cash tax payments. Reviews of eligible spend for tax credits by local tax authorities occur periodically and can result in adjustments to the recognition of incentive tax credits in the future. The Company is entering into a more normalized income tax expense environment as the generation of incentive tax credits reduces.

Generally, the Company does not experience significant effects of seasonality with regard to revenues or expenses. Market fluctuations in the gold price have affected revenues and profit over the last eight quarters. In Q2 2020, the TRY weakened by 4.9% resulting in an unfavorable non-cash impact on attributable net profit as discussed in the "Financial Highlights" section.

Liquidity, Capital Resources and Contractual Obligations

The Company manages its liquidity and capital resources to provide sufficient cash and cash equivalents to meet short and long-term operating and development plans, finance facility obligations, and other contractual obligations when due. Historically, the Company has used cash flow from operations and existing bank credit facilities as primary sources of liquidity. The Company anticipates using similar financing resources to settle future liquidity obligations. For potential funding of large transactions, such as acquisitions, mine development and expansion, and debt financing transactions, Alacer may look to the private and public capital markets as a source of financing.

With respect to the COVID-19 pandemic, if circumstances force operations to slow or to be temporarily suspended, Alacer has plans in place for a safe orderly shutdown and a speedy restart to operations as soon as conditions allow. Alacer's strong balance sheet provides flexibility to weather a long shutdown, should it occur, and then a speedy restart to operations. The Company has a significant consolidated cash position9 of $279 million at June 30, 2020 that is more than adequate to manage quarterly debt service of approximately $21 million. Currently, capital resources at June 30, 2020 are expected to be sufficient to fund planned operations, forecasted exploration, and capital expenditures in 2020.

With respect to longer-term funding requirements, the Company is confident that future cash flows generated from operations and other sources of liquidity will be available. Under present conditions, the Company has sufficient access to capital and debt markets. There is a risk that the cost of obtaining capital resources from capital and debt markets may increase in the future as lenders and institutional investors may increase interest rates, impose tighter lending standards, or refuse to provide any new funding. Notwithstanding present market conditions, changes in the Company's business, unforeseen opportunities or events, pandemics, and other external factors may also adversely affect liquidity and the

32

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 (All amounts expressed in thousands of U.S. Dollars, unless otherwise stated)

availability of additional capital resources. Due to these factors, Alacer cannot be certain that funding, if needed, will be available to the extent required, or on acceptable terms. If Alacer is unable to access funding when needed on acceptable terms, the Company may not be able to fully implement future business plans, take advantage of business opportunities, respond to competitive pressures, or refinance future debt obligations as they come due, any of which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's operational and financial results. However, the Company may elect to reduce its planned expenditures concurrent with prevailing conditions. The Company has financial flexibility to adjust its spending levels to provide sufficient liquidity to meet its current and future operational goals and financial obligations.

Alacer has a finance facility with a syndicate of lenders (BNP Paribas (Suisse) SA, ING Bank NV, Societe Generale Corporate & Investment Banking and UniCredit S.P.A.). The finance facility has interest rates of LIBOR, which is floating, plus a fixed interest rate margin in the range of 3.50% - 3.70% depending on the tranche. Additionally, it has no mandatory hedging or cash sweep requirements, no pre-payment penalties, and final repayment is scheduled in Q4 2023. While no mandatory hedging is required, discretionary hedging to fix the LIBOR rate is implemented on approximately 46% of the outstanding debt balance through the duration of the interest rate hedge program which completes at the end of 2021. Restricted cash accounts must also be maintained over the term of the finance facility. As of June 30, 2020, the Company is in compliance with all aspects of the finance facility.

Working Capital

Working capital17, current assets less current liabilities, increased by $42.6 million through June 30, 2020 to $245.0 million from December 31, 2019 primarily due to an increase in Cash and Cash Equivalents from higher Gold Sales Proceeds16 driven from higher average realized gold prices. Current assets are available and current liabilities are due at varying times within twelve months following the balance sheet date. Cash and cash equivalents are readily available to settle obligations related to current and future expenditures. The ability to distribute cash to the Company may be subject to finance facility contracts, jurisdictional regulations, or joint venture provisions. Refer to the discussion regarding temporary limits on the amount of cash dividends that can be paid by Turkish companies found in the COVID-19 section of this MD&A. These provisions are not expected to adversely affect the Company's ability to meet its commitments when due.

The Company anticipates working capital needs in 2020 will consist primarily of repayments of principal and interest under the finance facility totaling approximately $83 million and payments related to leases totaling approximately $10 million in addition to normal course operating expenditures incurred in connection with the Company's operations.

Business Conditions and Trends

The Company's results of operations, financial condition, financial performance, and cash flows are affected by various business conditions and trends and, most recently, by COVID-19. The variability of gold prices, fluctuating currency and interest rates, and increases and decreases in costs of materials and consumables associated with the Company's mining activities and the impact of COVID-19 on the Company's business are the primary economic factors that have and are expected to impact financial results during 2020.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 (All amounts expressed in thousands of U.S. Dollars, unless otherwise stated)

Gold Price

The price of gold is the most significant external factor affecting profitability and cash flow of the Company. The price of gold is subject to volatile price movements over short periods and is affected by numerous macroeconomic and industry factors that are beyond the Company's control. Major influences on the gold price include currency exchange rate fluctuations, the relative strength of the USD, the supply of and demand for gold and other macroeconomic factors such as interest rate levels, and inflation expectations. Declines in gold prices have adversely affected-and in the future may adversely affect- the Company's operating results, cash flows, financial condition, access to capital markets, the economic viability of reserves, and the ability to reinvest capital in order to maintain or grow the current asset base. A significant and prolonged deterioration in gold prices may negatively affect future cash flow such that the Company may curtail or determine it may not be economical to continue with existing or planned exploration or capital development and expansion activities for existing operations.

During Q2 2020, the gold price experienced volatility with the London PM Fix price ranging from a low of $1,577 per ounce on April 1, 2020 to a high of $1,772 per ounce on June 29, 2020. The price of gold closed at $1,768 per ounce on June 30, 2020, and the average Q2 2020 market price of $1,711 per ounce represents a $400 per ounce increase from the $1,311 per ounce average annual market price for Q2 2019.

Currency Rates

Fluctuations in currency rates affect the Company's cash flows. The USD is the Company's functional currency.

The Company's earnings and cash flow may be particularly affected by fluctuations in the exchange rate between USD and TRY. Such fluctuations may give rise to foreign currency exposure, which may affect future financial results.

Tax

In Turkey, the corporate tax rate temporarily increased to 22% for the period of 2018 to 2020 and then will revert back to 20% starting in 2021. In the Yukon Territory in Canada, the corporate tax rate is 27%.

Geopolitical Risk

Although Alacer is incorporated in Canada, mining and exploration operations are in the country of Turkey and, as such, the Company's operations are exposed to various levels of political, economic and other risks and uncertainties. Alacer has been operating in Turkey for over 20 years. Turkey has a well- established and sophisticated business market where English is widely spoken. In light of Alacer's extensive history in Turkey and the degree of experience that the Board and management team have operating in Turkey, they have become very familiar with the laws and requirements in Turkey, the role of the Turkish government in its operations, the local business cultures and practices, and any differences in banking systems and controls (as compared to the United States and Canada). Additionally, the Board and senior management are in regular contact with the local management team in Turkey (including in- house Turkish legal counsel), which keep the Board and senior management apprised of any local developments that could impact Alacer's operations in Turkey. Alacer also enjoys a long-term joint- venture arrangement with a well-established Turkey entity, Lidya Mining.

Any changes in regulations or shifts in political attitudes in this foreign jurisdiction is beyond the control of the Company and may adversely affect the Company's business. The occurrence of these various factors and uncertainties cannot be accurately predicted and could have a material adverse effect on the Company's operations or profitability. For additional information see the "Foreign Operations" and "Geopolitical Risk" section of Alacer's Annual Information Form, available at www.sedar.com and at www.asx.com.au.

Pandemic Risk (COVID-19)

The Company's business, operations, and financial condition could be materially adversely affected by the outbreak of epidemics or pandemics or other health crises.

For example, in late December 2019, COVID-19 was identified and subsequently spread worldwide, with infections being reported globally. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 as a pandemic. Since mid-March, various governments have implemented various measures to combat the virus, such as placing restrictions on travel, issuing shelter-in-place directives, and other related social- distancing initiatives. The Company has implemented various preventive measures to limit potential exposure and to safeguard the safety of our employees.

Additionally, the Turkish government has implemented legislation temporarily limiting the amount of cash that Turkish companies can distribute to shareholders. While the Company does not expect the restrictions to adversely impact its business or operations given their temporary nature, if such restrictions

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 (All amounts expressed in thousands of U.S. Dollars, unless otherwise stated)

are prolonged or the Turkish government introduces new legislation further restricting the use or distribution of cash generated in Turkey, it could have an adverse effect on the business of the Company.

The coronavirus pandemic could adversely affect global economies and financial markets resulting in an economic downturn that could have an adverse effect on the business of the Company. The extent to which the coronavirus impacts the Company's business, including its operations, cash flows, and the markets for its securities, will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted at this time, and include the duration, severity and scope of the outbreak and the actions taken to contain or treat the coronavirus outbreak. In particular, the continued spread of the coronavirus globally could materially and adversely impact the Company's business which could include a slowdown or temporary suspension in operations. The risks to our business include without limitation, contractual disruption, employee health, workforce productivity, increased insurance premiums, limitations on travel, a material decrease in operating cash flows, government imposed limitations on the Company's ability to repatriate cash, the availability of industry experts and personnel, prolonged restrictive measures put in place in order to control an outbreak of contagious disease or other adverse public health developments in Turkey and other factors that will depend on future developments beyond the Company's control, which may have a material and adverse effect on the business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Transactions with Related Parties

In 2016, Anagold, a subsidiary of the Company, entered into a related party commercial agreement for construction services for the sulfide plant with GAP İNŞAAT YATIRIM VE DIŞ TİCARET A.Ş. ("GAP"), an affiliate of our joint venture partner, Lidya Mining. The contract close-out is complete. The total value of transactions through December 31, 2019 was approximately $157 million. There has been no additional spend through June 30, 2020.

In 2019, Anagold, a subsidiary of the Company, entered into a related party commercial agreement with Kartaltepe Madencilik Sanayi Ticaret Anonim Şirketi, another subsidiary of the Company, to purchase ore from Çakmaktepe for processing at the Çöpler oxide plant. Phase one of the commercial agreement was completed and the total value of transactions through December 31, 2019 was approximately $24 million. There has been no additional spend through June 30, 2020.

On July 17, 2019, Alacer announced the sale of its 50% non-operating interest in one of the joint ventures, Polimetal, the joint venture that owns the Gediktepe Project19, to its joint venture partner, Lidya Mining. The transaction closed on January 3, 2020.

Critical Accounting Policies, Estimates, and Accounting Changes

The Company's financial statements are prepared in accordance with IFRS. The significant accounting policies applied are described in Note 5 to the Company's annual audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019. There have been no changes in Q2 2020 from the Company's accounting policies applied during the year ended December 31, 2019.

37

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 (All amounts expressed in thousands of U.S. Dollars, unless otherwise stated)

The preparation of the Company's financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates, judgments, and assumptions. The critical accounting estimates, judgments, and assumptions applied are described in Note 7 to the Company's annual audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019. The critical accounting estimates, judgments, and assumptions made by management applied in the preparation of the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 are consistent with those applied and disclosed in the Company's audited annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019. Additional information regarding the critical accounting estimates, judgments, and assumptions made by management can be found in Note 7 of the Company's financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019. These estimates, judgments, and assumptions are based on management's best knowledge of the relevant facts and circumstances taking into account previous experience, but actual results may materially differ from the amounts included in the Company's financial statements.

Financial Instruments and Other Instruments

The Company's financial instruments as of June 30, 2020 consist of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, interest rate swap contracts, and share-based compensation liabilities presented at fair value. The Company's financial instruments are denominated primarily in USD.

Credit Risk is associated primarily with short-term investments and the portion of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash held by banks. Such credit risk is managed by diversifying holdings among various financial institutions and by purchasing short-term investment grade securities. This may include such instruments as bankers' acceptances, guaranteed investment contracts, corporate commercial paper, and U.S. treasury bills in accordance with the Company's investment policy. Investment objectives are primarily directed towards preservation of capital and liquidity. The investment policy provides limitations on concentrations of credit risk, credit quality, and the duration of investments, as well as minimum rating requirements for cash and cash equivalents held in banks and financial institutions. The majority of the Company's receivables balances consist of claims for recoverable Turkish value-added tax ("VAT"). As of June 30, 2020, Turkish VAT receivables totaled $14.5 million. Management monitors its exposure to credit risk on a continual basis.

Interest Rate Risk is generally associated with variable rate financial instruments and available market interest rates at the time financial instruments are acquired. The Company holds a portion of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash in bank accounts that earn variable interest rates. Short-term investments are purchased at market interest rates and result in fixed yields to maturity. Interest expense as related to borrowings on the finance facility are based on a variable interest rate of LIBOR plus 3.5% to 3.7%. Other financial assets and liabilities in the form of receivables, payables, and provisions are non- interest bearing. Future net cash flows from interest income on cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, and interest expense on variable rate borrowings will be affected by interest rate fluctuations. The Company manages interest rate risk by maintaining an investment policy for short-term investments and cash held in banks, which focuses on preservation of capital and liquidity. In May 2018, the Company entered into an interest rate swap program to limit exposure to the impact of the variable LIBOR interest rate volatility. The interest rate swaps program was originally applicable to approximately 80% of the Finance Facility loan at an average fixed LIBOR rate of 2.86% for settlements through December 2021. As of June 30, 2020, approximately 46% of the outstanding loan balance is currently covered through interest

38

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 (All amounts expressed in thousands of U.S. Dollars, unless otherwise stated)

rate swap contracts through the duration of the interest rate hedge program. In Q2 2020, the Company recorded a realized loss of $0.7 million and a non-cash unrealized gain of $0.5 million on the interest rate swap contracts. There were no other gains or losses associated with other financial instruments through June 30, 2020.

Foreign Currency Risk is generally associated with financial instruments and transactions denominated in non-USD currencies. The Company is exposed to financial gain or loss as a result of foreign exchange movements against the USD. The Company holds USD and TRY in sufficient amounts to meet its estimated expenditure requirements for these currencies. The Company held approximately $10.8 million denominated in TRY as of June 30, 2020.

Non-GAAP Measures

The Company has identified certain financial measures that it believes will assist with understanding the underlying performance of the business including, but not limited to, normalized earnings and earnings per share, gold sales proceeds, net debt, and free cash flow. All of these measures have no standardized definitions under IFRS, and they may not be directly comparable with other companies' Non-GAAP Measures. All of these Non-GAAP Measures should not be considered in isolation and are not intended to be a substitute for, or superior to, any IFRS measures of performance, but Management has included and discussed them in this MD&A as these are considered key measures used within the industry for assessing performance. Certain of these Non-GAAP Measures are also used, together with other measures, by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors to assess Company financial performance for purposes of determining Management incentive plan compensation. These Non-GAAP Measures include Normalized Attributable Earnings, Normalized Attributable Earnings Per Share (normalized EPS), Gold Sales Proceeds, Consolidated Cash, Working Capital, Debt, Net debt, Free Cash Flow, Consolidated Total Cash Costs (C2) per ounce sold, All‐in Sustaining Costs (AISC) per ounce sold, and All‐in Costs (AIC) per ounce sold and are explained further below.

Normalized Attributable Earnings and Normalized Attributable Earnings Per Share are derived from attributable earnings and attributable EPS adjusted for foreign exchange effects on deferred tax assets and liabilities, incentive tax credit impact in tax expense, share-basedcompensation, realized and unrealized gains and losses on interest rate swap contracts, impairment/reversal of impairment losses/(gains), M&A costs, and incremental operating costs incurred due to COVID-19.These Non-GAAPmeasures provide useful information to investors as they show the earnings performance of the business adjusting for items that are not reflective of the underlying operating performance of the business, are generally non-cashin nature, are material to the calculation of the Company's earnings, and/or of a very specific nature which can impact an investor's understanding of the Company's underlying operating performance. The most directly comparable measures specified, defined or determined under the Company's GAAP presented in its financial statements to normalized attributable earnings and normalized attributable earnings per share are Net profit and comprehensive profit attributable to owners of the company and total net profit per share of owners of the company - basic, respectively, as shown in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Profit and Comprehensive Profit.

The foreign exchange gains or losses that have been adjusted are those that result from the revaluation of deferred tax asset and liabilities due to movements in the US Dollar to Turkish Lira foreign exchange rate that are non-cash unrealized items in the period. With respect to share-based compensation, an adjustment is made for the Company's share price movement in the period. Incentive tax credits are adjusted as they are non-cash unrealized items in the period. Realized and unrealized losses on interest rate swap contracts, M&A costs, and incremental operating costs due to COVID-19 are adjusted as they are both material to the calculation of the Company's earnings and are not reflective of underlying operating performance.

COVID-19 expenses included costs related to personal protective equipment supplies, masks, wipes, and hand sanitizers; donations to the local hospital and federal government for COVID-19 aid assistance; and payments supporting wellness programs for employees and their families.

Gold Sales Proceeds includes revenue per IFRS adjusted for inclusion of gold sales capitalized in construction in progress, if applicable. This Non-GAAP measure provides useful information to investors as it shows the underlying revenues of the Company excluding the capitalization of pre-production revenues which reflects the measure on a comparable basis with the Company's production data. The most directly comparable measure specified, defined or determined under the Company's GAAP presented in its financial statements to Gold Sales Proceeds is Revenues as shown on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Profit and Comprehensive Profit.

World Gold Council Cost Metrics

Total Cash Costs (C2) are calculated using guidance issued by the Gold Institute and adopted by the World Gold Council. All-in Sustaining Costs and All-in Costs are calculated based on guidance from the World Gold Council originally issued in June 2013 and most recently updated in November 2018.

Consolidated Total Cash Costs (C2) per ounce sold includes mining, processing, transport and refinery costs, mine site support costs, movement in production inventories, by-productcredits, share of income/loss on investments accounted for using the equity method when directly related to Çöpler Gold Mine operations, plus royalties and severance taxes.

All-in Sustaining Costs per ounce sold are an extension of Total Cash Costs (C2) and incorporates costs related to sustaining production, including sustaining capital expenditures, exploration, lease payments related to sustaining projects, accretion related to asset retirement obligations and amortization related to asset retirement costs, share-basedcompensation costs, and general and administrative costs.

All-in Costs per ounce sold include All-inSustaining Costs plus growth capital costs, lease payments related to growth projects, and regional joint venture exploration expenditures as included in exploration costs and in share of income/loss on investments accounted for using the equity method.

43

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 (All amounts expressed in thousands of U.S. Dollars, unless otherwise stated)

Consolidated Total Cash Costs (C2) per ounce sold, All-in Sustaining Costs per ounce sold, and All-in Costs per ounce sold are calculated by dividing the relevant costs, as determined using the cost elements noted above, by gold ounces sold for the periods presented. The data does not have a meaning prescribed by IFRS, and therefore, amounts presented may not be comparable to data presented by gold producers who do not follow the guidance provided by the Gold Institute or the World Gold Council. In particular, non- cash costs such as depreciation and amortization would be included in a measure of total costs of producing gold under IFRS but are excluded from the Non-GAAP Measures noted above, except for amortization related to asset retirement costs. Furthermore, while the Gold Institute and World Gold Council have provided definitions for the calculations of these costs, such calculations may vary from company to company and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. This Non-GAAP measure is provided because it is a widely used metric utilized in the gold industry and by investors and analysts.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures and Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for the design of disclosure controls and procedures ("DC&P") to provide reasonable assurance that all relevant information required to be disclosed by the Company is accumulated and communicated to senior management as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management is also responsible for the design of internal control over financial reporting ("ICFR") to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with IFRS.

The Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have used the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO") 2013 framework to design the Company's DC&P and ICFR as of June 30, 2020. The Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have each evaluated the design of the Company's DC&P and ICFR as of June 30, 2020 and have concluded that these controls and procedures are adequately designed to provide reasonable assurance that material information relating to the Company is made known to them by others within the Company and to provide reasonable assurance that financial information is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported in a timely manner.

Management of the Company was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost‐benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. The result of the inherent limitations in all control systems means no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. There has been no change in the Company's internal controls during the six months period ended June 30, 2020 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal controls over financial reporting for the period ended June 30, 2020.

Cautionary Statements

Forward-Looking Information

Certain statements contained in this document constitute "forward-looking information", "future oriented financial information" or "financial outlooks" (collectively, "forward looking information") within the meaning of applicable securities laws. Forward-looking information often relates to statements concerning Alacer's future outlook and anticipated events or results, and in some cases, can be identified by terminology such as "may," "will," "could," "should," "expect," "plan," "anticipate," "believe," "intend," "estimate," "projects," "predict," "potential," "continue" or other similar expressions concerning matters that are not historical facts.

Forward-looking information includes statements concerning, among other things, production, cost, and capital expenditure guidance; the results of any gold reconciliations; matters relating to proposed exploration; communications with local stakeholders; maintaining community and government relations; negotiations of joint ventures; negotiation and completion of transactions; commodity prices; mineral resources, mineral reserves, realization of mineral reserves, and the existence or realization of mineral resource estimates; the timing and amount of future production; the timing of studies, announcements, and analysis; the timing of construction and development of proposed mines and process facilities; capital and operating expenditures; economic conditions; availability of sufficient financing; exploration plans; receipt of regulatory approvals; and any and all other timing, exploration, development, operational, financial, budgetary, economic, legal, social, regulatory, and political matters that may influence or be influenced by future events or conditions.

Such forward-looking information and statements are based on a number of material factors and assumptions, including, but not limited in any manner to, those disclosed in any of Alacer's other public filings, and include the inherent speculative nature of exploration results; the ability to explore; communications with local stakeholders; maintaining community and governmental relations; status of negotiations of joint ventures; weather conditions at Alacer's operations; commodity prices; the ultimate determination of and realization of mineral reserves; existence or realization of mineral resources; the development approach; availability and receipt of required approvals, titles, licenses and permits; sufficient working capital to develop and operate the mines and implement development plans; access to adequate services and supplies; foreign currency exchange rates; interest rates; access to capital markets and associated cost of funds; availability of a qualified work force; ability to negotiate, finalize, and execute relevant agreements; lack of social opposition to the mines or facilities; lack of legal challenges with respect to the property of Alacer; the timing and amount of future production; the ability to meet production, cost, and capital expenditure targets; timing and ability to produce studies and analyses; capital and operating expenditures; economic conditions; the outbreak of pandemics, epidemics or other health crises (including, without limitation, the COVID-19 pandemic); availability of sufficient financing; the ultimate ability to mine, process, and sell mineral products on economically favorable terms; and any and all other timing, exploration, development, operational, financial, budgetary, economic, legal, social, geopolitical, regulatory and political factors that may influence future events or conditions. While we consider these factors and assumptions to be reasonable based on information currently available to us, they may prove to be incorrect.

47

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 (All amounts expressed in thousands of U.S. Dollars, unless otherwise stated)

You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking information and statements.

Additional Information and Risk Factors

Other than as required by law, Alacer does not intend, and undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking information to reflect, among other things, new information or future events. For additional information, including additional risk factors, you should refer to Alacer Annual Information Form and Alacer's other public filings, available at www.sedar.com and at www.asx.com.au.

Further information is available in the Çöpler Mine Technical Report dated June 9, 2016.

The information in this document which relates to Ardich exploration results is based on, and fairly represents, information and supporting documentation prepared by Mesut Soylu, PhD Geology, P.Geo., Eurgeol, who is Chief Geologist of Alacer. Dr. Soylu has sufficient experience which is relevant to the style of mineralization and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity which is being undertaken to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2012 Edition of the "Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves" and a qualified person pursuant to NI 43-

101. Dr. Soylu consents to the inclusion in this document of the matters based on this information in the form and context in which it appears.

External review of drill data and data management processes relating to Ardich were completed in two phases, October 2018 and February 2019, by independent Consultant Dr. Erdem Yetkin, P.Geo. a qualified person pursuant to NI 43-101 and a Competent Person as defined by the JORC Code 2012. There were no

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 (All amounts expressed in thousands of U.S. Dollars, unless otherwise stated)

adverse material results detected and Dr. Yetkin is of the opinion that the QA/QC indicates the information collected is acceptable, and the database can be used for Mineral Resource estimation.

The Ardich Mineral Resource disclosed in this document was prepared under the supervision and approved by Dr. Cengiz Y. Demirci, AIPG Registered Member and CPG (Certified Professional Geologist), and VP Exploration at Alacer Gold Corp. Dr. Demirci has sufficient experience that is relevant to the style of mineralization and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity which is being undertaken to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2012 Edition of the "Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves" and is a qualified person pursuant to NI 43- 101.

The Ardich Mineral Resource shells used to demonstrate reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction and disclosed in this document were generated and approved by Mr. Robert L. Clifford, SME Registered Member, Alacer's Senior Manager, Growth and Mining Services. The information in this document which relates to Mineral Resources is based on, and fairly represents, the information and supporting documentation prepared by Mr. Clifford. Mr. Clifford has sufficient experience which is relevant to the style of mineralization and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity which is being undertaken to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2012 Edition of the "Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves" and is a qualified person pursuant to NI 43-101.

The Ardich Mineral Resource estimate referenced in this document was estimated in accordance with CIM guidelines as incorporated into NI 43-101, and the 2012 Edition of the Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves. While terms associated with various categories of "Mineral Resource" or "Mineral Reserve" are recognized and required by Canadian regulations, they may not have equivalent meanings in other jurisdictions outside Canada and no comparison should be made or inferred. Actual recoveries of mineral products may differ from those estimated in the Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves due to inherent uncertainties in acceptable estimating techniques. In particular, Inferred Mineral Resources have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence, economic and legal feasibility. It is reasonably expected that the majority of Inferred Mineral Resources could be upgraded to Indicated Mineral Resources with continued exploration. Investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of the Mineral Resources will ever be converted into Mineral Reserves.

Alacer confirms that it is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the scientific and technical information included in this document. Alacer also confirms that the form and content in which such scientific and technical information is presented in this document has not materially changed from the original public disclosure.
