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

Depreciation and Depletion
o Policy – deplete mining properties using units-of-production basis over
estimated P&P reserves + estimate of portion of mineralization expected
to be classified as reserves.
o 2012 - 2013 SEC initiative to review depletion policies of mining
companies; Primero comment letters and responses filed on edgar.
o SEC aversion to inclusion of anything other than P&P reserves in
depletion base.
o Historically San Dimas has achieved > 90% conversion rate from
resources to reserves.
o Before Q4 2013 – P&P reserves + 75% of (inferred resources and
exploration potential).
o Q4 2013 and after – depletable (P&P + 75% of inferred) and non-
depletable (exploration potential) pools.
o SD depreciation and depletion $45 - 50m / year at 2,500 TPD rate.
43. TSX:P I NYSE:PPP I 43
Mexican Tax Reforms
o Impact on Primero is an effective tax rate increase from 29% to ~40%
o 7.5% royalty calculated on taxable EBITDA. Exploration costs are deductible.
o Precious metals producers pay an additional environmental erosion fee based on
0.5% of revenue from sales of gold, silver or platinum.
o Both 7.5% royalty and 0.5% fee are deductible for income tax. Effective January 1,
2014; paid by March 31 of following year.
o Other significant changes:
• Elimination of 100% 1st year deduction of exploration costs (now deductible
over 10 years).
• Elimination of accelerated depreciation of PP&E purchases.
o Industry mitigation strategies:
• Continue to apply political pressure through lobbying (highlight contribution
of mining to federal, state and local communities).
• Company specific legal challenge – amparo.
• Tax planning strategies, e.g., separate ownership of concessions from PP&E.
44. TSX:P I NYSE:PPP I 44
Brigus Tax Position
o Federal tax rate at 25% and Ontario Mining Tax (“OMT”) at 8.5%
o At YE 2013 Brigus had US$282m of tax pools for Cdn federal
income tax
o Pools will increase with future PP&E, development and exploration
expenditures
o In 2013, Brigus used about $35m of these pools, so no federal
income tax likely payable for > 5 years
o At YE 2013 Brigus had US$162m of tax pools for OMT
o In 2013, Brigus used $43m of these pools, so no OMT likely
payable for > 3 years

Notes to Mineral Reserve Statement:
Cutoff grade of 2.7 grams per tonne (”g/t”) gold equivalent (“AuEq”) based on total operating cost of US$104.97/t. Metal prices assumed are gold US$1,250 per troy ounce and
silver US$20 per troy ounce. Silver supply contract obligations have been referenced in determining overall vein reserve estimate viability.
Processing recovery factors for gold and silver of 97% and 94% assumed.
Exchange rate assumed is 13 pesos/US$1.00.
The Mineral Reserve estimates were prepared under the supervision of Mr. Gabriel Voicu P.Geo., Vice President, Geology and Exploration, Primero and a QP for the purposes of
National Instrument 43-101 (“NI 43-101”).
Notes to Mineral Resource Statement:
Mineral Resources are total and include those resources converted to Mineral Reserves.
A 2.0g/t AuEq cutoff grade is applied and the gold equivalent is calculated at a gold price of US$1,300 per troy ounce and a silver price of US$20 per troy ounce.
A constant bulk density of 2.7 tonnes/m3 has been used.
The Mineral Resource estimates were prepared by Mr. Rodney Webster MAusIMM, MAIG and Mr. J. Morton Shannon P.Geo., both of AMC Mining Consultants (Canada) Ltd. and
a QP for the purposes of NI 43-101.
Additional exploration potential was estimated at 6-10 million tonnes at grade ranges of 3-5 grams per tonne of gold and 200-400
grams per tonne of silver as of December 31, 2011. It should be noted that these targets are conceptual in nature. There has been
insufficient exploration to define an associated Mineral Resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the target being
delineated as a Mineral Resource.

Grade Review
o Underground mined grade has reduced in Q1 2014, likely due to lack of available stopes.
o Open-pit mined grade has reduced in Q4 2013 and Q1 2014 because of mining from upper benches of
Phase 3 where grade is lower closer to surface.
o Overall grade has reduced Lower underground production (high grade), resulting in more open pit mill

Underground Challenges & Opportunities
127. TSX:P I NYSE:PPP I 127
Challenges:
• Water inflows increased in 2013 in Open-Pit Phase 3 West expansion
• 12% increase water volume from 2011 to 2012
• 179 % increase from 2012 to 2013
• Water inflow effected Pit and U/G production in Q2 2013
• Ramp closed for 2 days
• UG West ramp was lost for a total of two (2) weeks
• Dewatering system - design presently under review
• Waste Rock Dump wall failure - remediation of East and North side complete. South side
completed by June when dry
Opportunities:
• Opportunity to replace lower grade open-pit ounces with higher grade underground ounces
• Phase 3 open-pit push back nearly completed, higher grades available in short term
• Short term pumping system in place to mitigate water inflow, followed by a full dewatering
system in 2014

Open-pit Challenges & Opportunities
128. TSX:P I NYSE:PPP I 128
WATER ISSUES
o March 2013
• Water Management Pond (“WMP”) depleted/frozen water (Extreme Cold weather)
• March 2013 – added 1.5M gallons from outside source (River and Mine Shaft)
o May 2013
• Rapid spring melt caused severe inflows to WMP
• Mill was shut down in May 2013 for 18 days due to severe inflow of spring run off
o March 2014
• WMP: depleted/frozen water. Mill did not operate at full capacity during March, now
using same water source as 2013
MITIGATION PLAN
o Additional excavation and raise of berms of WMP for extra water storage
o AMEC looking at WMP water balance & capacity required, raise of berms and deepening of
WMP

2013 Review
164. TSX:P I NYSE:PPP I 164
Approximately $7.5 M of the proposed 2014 budget was work not spent and
carried over from 2013, including:
o Land acquisition: Purchases of land went much slower than anticipated due to
difficulties with land titles, slow negotiations, unavailability of land owners etc.
o Exploration: Rejection of permit application to construct new roads to access
drilling sites has delayed the completion of the 2013 drilling program.
o Phase 2 development: Metallurgical laboratory work was delayed to Q1 2014.
o Stakeholders: Mapping started in Q4 2013 however bulk of activity will carry
over into 2014.

o The Cerro del Gallo copper-gold-silver deposit can be
considered to be a member of a distinct subclass of
“reduced” porphyry-style copper-gold mineralization
(Rowins, 2000).
o Propylitic alteration boundaries are gradational and
irregular, and more widespread than potassic alteration.
o This alteration pattern is consistent with many other
porphyry copper-gold deposits throughout the world.
o Tellurium-bearing minerals are also common in porphyry
copper-gold deposits, as they are at Cerro del Gallo.

Notes to Mineral Reserve Statement:
Cutoff grade of 2.7 grams per tonne (”g/t”) gold equivalent (“AuEq”) based on total operating cost of US$104.97/t. Metal prices assumed are gold US$1,250 per
troy ounce and silver US$20 per troy ounce. Silver supply contract obligations have been referenced in determining overall vein reserve estimate viability.
Processing recovery factors for gold and silver of 97% and 94% assumed.
Exchange rate assumed is 13 pesos/US$1.00.
The Mineral Reserve estimates were prepared under the supervision of Mr. Gabriel Voicu P.Geo., Vice President, Geology and Exploration, Primero and a QP for
the purposes of National Instrument 43-101 (“NI 43-101”).
Notes to Mineral Resource Statement:
Mineral Resources are total and include those resources converted to Mineral Reserves.
A 2.0g/t AuEq cutoff grade is applied and the gold equivalent is calculated at a gold price of US$1,300 per troy ounce and a silver price of US$20 per troy ounce.
A constant bulk density of 2.7 tonnes/m3 has been used.
The Mineral Resource estimates were prepared by Mr. Rodney Webster MAusIMM, MAIG and Mr. J. Morton Shannon P.Geo., both of AMC Mining Consultants
(Canada) Ltd. and a QP for the purposes of NI 43-101.
Additional exploration potential was estimated at 6-10 million tonnes at grade ranges of 3-5 grams per tonne of gold and 200-400
grams per tonne of silver as of December 31, 2011. It should be noted that these targets are conceptual in nature. There has been
insufficient exploration to define an associated Mineral Resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the target being
delineated as a Mineral Resource.

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