Mr. Renaud Adams, President and CEO of Richmont Mines commented: "I am very pleased to be able to report that our operations exceeded production expectations in 2014, with annual gold sales that were the second highest production level in Richmont's 30+ year history. Our mines also improved their overall efficiency, which is a testament to the capability, execution and dedication of our team, and provides Richmont with a strong financial foundation to reposition our Island Gold Mine into a longer-life, higher-grade gold asset with the ability to increase both production and cash flow levels.

Richmont's operational focus in 2014 was on delivering profitable gold production. Our Island Gold Mine in Ontario met this objective, generating 45% of Richmont's annual consolidated gold sales at a cash cost per ounce that was 13% below 2013 levels. Our Quebec assets also delivered solid operational results in 2014. The Beaufor Mine maintained a strong performance momentum throughout the year, generating a notable 16% increase in processed grade and 13% decrease in cash cost per ounce of gold sold, and the Monique open-pit mine exceeding annual production expectations. With mining operations now finished at Monique, our focus in Quebec for 2015 remains squarely on generating net free cash flow from our Beaufor Mine during the year.

While 2014 was a year of preparation and transition, 2015 will be one of action and repositioning. The proceeds from our recently completed financing gives us the financial flexibility to leverage our strong cash position to execute our accelerated development plans that will reposition and unlock the significant value of our Island Gold Mine. We are holding ourselves accountable to our shareholders, employees and our other stakeholders to continue to execute our accelerated work plans on schedule, and to continue to do so, maintaining Richmont's long history of prudent financial management."

Mr. Adams concluded "On a personal note, I am very pleased to have been given the opportunity to take the helm of Richmont at such an important inflection point. Island Gold provides Richmont with the strongest organic growth profile in the Corporation's history, as it is an excellent asset with the potential to deliver long-term production growth from a mining-friendly and safe jurisdiction for many years to come. To unlock this value we have embarked on what will be a transformational year, and I look forward to working closely with our dedicated team as we continue to create long-term value for our shareholders."

Q4 2014 Results

Revenues for the fourth quarter of 2014 were $29.6 million, compared to $27.8 million in the comparable period of 2013. The year-over-year increase reflects strong results from the Quebec assets, with higher gold ounce sales at the Beaufor and Monique mines, and a 2% increase in the average realized gold price in Canadian dollars. Partially offsetting these, were lower gold ounce sales at the Island Gold Mine that stemmed from lower processed tonnage in the period as a result of fewer available mining faces following reduced levels of development in the first half of the year. This trend will improve following the initiation of accelerated short-term development work in the fourth quarter of 2014. This work is expected to reposition the mine with greater accessible ore inventory in the near-term, and efforts will be further reinforced by the $9.3 million of sustaining capital expenditures planned for Island Gold in 2015. In the fourth quarter of 2014, 21,666 ounces of gold were sold at an average price of CAN$1,361 (US$1,198), versus gold sales of 20,918 ounces at an average price of CAN$1,328 (US$1,265) in the fourth quarter of 2013.

Richmont generated net earnings of $1.0 million, or $0.02 per share, in the fourth quarter of 2014, versus a net loss from continuing operations of ($28.7) million, or ($0.72) per share, in the fourth quarter of 2013. The improved results reflect lower cost of sales in the current period that was driven by improved tonnage and recovered grades at the Quebec assets resulting in lower cash costs per ounce sold. The year-over-year improvement in net earnings similarly reflects charges in the same period of 2013 totalling $22.7 million, or $0.57 per share, that included a non-cash write-down on the W Zone Mine assets, a write-off of deferred income and mining tax assets, and a write-off of financing costs following the termination of a debt financing agreement. The year-over-year improved financial results similarly reflect a higher average realized gold sales price combined with a 4% increase in the number of gold ounces sold.

Cost of sales totalled $25.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2014, a 19% decrease from $31.0 million in the same period of 2013, largely attributable to the 15% decrease in the average cash cost per ounce of gold sold in the current period together with a 12% decrease in processed tonnage year-over-year. The improvement similarly reflects high depreciation costs at the W Zone operation in the year-ago period following a reduction in the Reserves at the mine. The average cash cost per ounce of gold sold totalled CAN$981 (US$864) in the fourth quarter of 2014 versus CAN$1,156 (US$1,102) in the year-ago period, as lower year-over-year costs at the Beaufor and Monique mines offset the higher Island Gold Mine cash cost anticipated with the onset of the Corporation's accelerated development work at the mine.

The Corporation spent $2.5 million on exploration and project evaluation efforts in the fourth quarter of 2014, versus $0.9 million in the same period of 2013. This increase primarily reflects higher exploration and project evaluation costs of the deeper Q Zone incurred at the Beaufor Mine property in the current quarter. These increases were partially offset by slightly lower costs incurred at the Island Gold Mine as activity focus was shifted from exploration to accelerated development in the period, as well as lower project evaluation expenses at the Wasamac Gold Property year-over-year. In the fourth quarter of 2014, the Corporation made a $1.2 million adjustment to the exploration tax credits of previous years. In the fourth quarter of 2013, the Corporation applied $0.1 million of tax credits.

Financial Position

At December 31, 2014, the cash balance was $35.3 million, compared with $37.9 million of cash at September 30, 2014, and $17.6 million at December 31, 2013. At December 31, 2014, Richmont Mines had working capital of $34.8 million, long-term debt of $5.7 million, and 48.3 million shares outstanding. The Corporation had a cash balance of $67.5 million as of February 11, 2015, following the successful closure of the bought financing deal that was announced in mid-January 2015.

Favourable Island Gold Step-Out Exploration Results Announced

In September 2014, the Corporation announced that it would conduct a limited deep exploration drilling program to test part of the down plunge projection of the Island Gold deposit to the east, the first results of which were published on January 8, 2015. Highlights included results from hole GD-14-01C that had been drilled from surface. This hole intersected 19.87 g/t Au over a true width of 3.93 metres at a depth of -1,200 metres, at approximately -250 metres down plunge from the limits of the currently defined Resources, and reinforced the potential to grow the deposit both laterally and at depth. The second hole that was drilled from surface intersected two small mineralized zones at a depth of about -900 metres, the best one returned 2.43 g/t of gold over a true width of 1.5 metres. Exploration drilling in this area will continue from underground.

Richmont also announced a significant exploration program for Island Gold Mine in 2015, to test the eastern extension of the deposit at depths and targeted areas closer to surface, with the objective of increasing the number of ounces per vertical metre down to a depth of -1,000 metres, which would favourably impact development cost per ounce.

Island Gold Mine Transformational Development Plans and 2015 Corporate Guidance Announced

At the end of September 2014, the Corporation announced that Manroc had been hired to take over ramp development work to accelerate access to the deeper extension of the mine. This contracted development included extending the ramp to a depth of 660 metres by the end of 2014, and to a depth of 735 metres by the end of the contract in the second half of 2015. Concurrent with ramp development, Manroc was contracted to complete a drift on the -620 metre level of the mine to facilitate exploration/definition drilling. As of the end of 2014, the main ramp had achieved a vertical depth of -660 metres, as planned, and approximately 150 metres of the lateral drift on the -620 metre level was completed, with one drill bay already being used for definition drilling purposes.

In mid-January 2015 the Corporation provided 2015 forecasted production guidance of 78,000 - 88,000 ounces at a cash cost of CAN$935 - CAN$1,035 (US$850 - US$940), as well as additional transformational development plans for the Resource extension at the Island Gold Mine in Ontario. Specifically, 2015 development plans at Island Gold include extending the main access ramp to a minimum depth of 750 metres and the secondary eastern ramp to a minimum depth of -570 metres, and completing the in process 600 metre long exploration/definition drift to the east on the -620 metre level of the mine. Additional plans include 61,000 metres of exploration drilling to test the potential to extend the Resource to the east, as well as in some areas slightly to the west and closer to surface, 59,000 metres of definition and delineation drilling to upgrade the Inferred Resources between 500 and 1,000 metres of depth in preparation for mining in 2016, and mining and milling studies to evaluate mining and milling requirements under various possible growth scenarios. Please refer to the January 15, 2015 press release for full details.

Bought-Deal Financing Announced

On January 20, 2015 the Corporation announced that it had entered into an agreement with Macquarie Capital Markets Canada Ltd. as lead underwriter, on behalf of a syndicate of underwriters, for the issuance of 7.5 million common shares of the Corporation, on a bought-deal basis, at a price of CAN$4.00 per share for gross proceeds of CAN$30 million. The underwriters were also granted an over-allotment option to purchase up to an additional 1.125 million common shares. On January 21, 2015, Richmont announced that it had agreed to increase the size of its previously announced bought deal offering by 1.0 million shares, to 8.5 million shares in total, for gross proceeds of CAN$34 million. Including the entire over-allotment option, total gross proceeds would increase to CAN$38.5 million. Richmont plans to apply the net proceeds in their entirety toward accelerating the transformational development of the higher-grade Resource extension at its Island Gold Mine in Ontario currently underway. The bought deal financing was completed through a syndicate of underwriters lead by Macquarie Capital Markets Canada Ltd. and included CIBC World Markets Inc., National Bank Financial Inc., BMO Capital Markets, TD Securities Inc., and PI Financial Corp. in its syndicate of underwriters. Richmont received strategic advisory services from Red Cloud Mining Capital Inc. Please refer to the January 20 and January 21 2015 press releases for additional information.

Bought-Deal Financing Closed

On February 11, 2015 the Corporation announced that it had closed the previously announced bought-deal financing, subsequent to which a total of 9.625 million shares were issued, including the entire over-allotment option, at a price of CAN$4.00, generating gross proceeds of CAN$38.5 million. As of February 11, 2015, the Corporation had 57.9 million shares outstanding, and a cash balance of $67.5 million.

2014 Annual Results

Revenues for the 12 months ended December 31, 2014 totalled $132.2 million, a 47% increase over annual revenues of $90.2 million in 2013. This improvement was attributable to the 49% increase in the number of gold ounces sold during the current period, partially offset by the minimal 2% decrease in the average price of gold sold in Canadian dollars over the 12 month period. For the year 2014, a total of 94,503 ounces of gold were sold at an average price of CAN$1,396 (US$1,264), versus gold sales of 63,443 ounces in 2013 at an average price of CAN$1,419 (US$1,378).

Cost of sales totalled $111.9 million in 2014, up from $85.8 million in the year-ago period. The increase reflects 12 months of production from the Monique Mine in 2014, versus only 3 months in 2013, and higher cost per tonne at the Island Gold Mine stemming from slightly lower annual tonnage, increased levels of development, and costs associated with the short-term rental of equipment during the replacement of the primary crushing at the mill. The average cash cost per ounce of gold sold decreased 15% to CAN$956 (US$866) for 2014 from CAN$1,128 (US$1,095) in 2013, driven by improvements realized at all three of the Corporation's operating mines primarily as a result of improved grades, and subsequent gold ounce sales.

Exploration and project evaluation costs totalled $3.8 million in 2014, well below the 2013 level of $7.9 million, driven primarily by lower levels at the Island Gold Mine as work focus was shifted from exploration to development that will enable an expanded exploration program in 2015, and lower exploration and project evaluation costs at the Wasamac Gold Property. In 2014, the Corporation made a $1.2 million adjustment to exploration tax credits of previous years and applied $0.7 million of tax credits. In 2013, the Corporation applied $1.0 million of tax credits. Richmont invested $23.1 million in its assets in 2014, compared to capital expenditures of $41.9 million in 2013. The decrease reflects lower development costs at the Monique Mine after it began commercial production in the fourth quarter of 2013, lower investments in the W Zone subsequent to the second quarter decision to cease operations, and lower annual investments at the Island Gold Mine.

Richmont generated net earnings from continuing operations of $8.2 million, or $0.18 per share, in 2014 which was reduced by $1.3 million, or $0.03 per share, of severance costs paid to the Corporation's previous senior management. In 2013, Richmont generated a net loss from continuing operations of ($33.2) million, or ($0.84) per share, which includes charges totalling $22.1 million, or $0.56 per share, stemming from a non-cash write-down of the W Zone Mine assets, a write-off of deferred income and mining tax assets, and a write-off of financing costs following the termination of a debt-financing agreement. The improved results in 2014 similarly reflect a lower average production cost per ounce that was driven by improved realized grades in the Corporation's three operating mines, as well as a 49% increase in the number of gold ounces sold.

The Island Gold Mine generated processed tonnage of 48,375 tonnes in the fourth quarter of 2014 at an average grade of 6.12 g/t, compared to fourth quarter 2013 results of 75,137 tonnes of ore at an average grade of 4.96 g/t. The decrease in the processed tonnage levels in the current period reflected that there were fewer available mining faces due to the lower levels of development in the first half of the year. Following the commencement of accelerated development in the last quarter of 2014 this trend is improving, and will continue to be further reinforced by the $9.3 million of sustaining capital expenditures planned for Island Gold in 2015. As a result of the lower tonnage levels, fourth quarter 2014 gold sales from this mine decreased to 9,052 ounces at an average price of CAN$1,354 (US$1,192) per ounce, versus gold sales of 11,565 ounces at an average price of CAN$1,331 (US$1,268) per ounce in the comparable period of 2013. Consequently, cash costs at Island Gold increased to CAN$1,307 (US$1,151) from CAN$946 (US$901) in the fourth quarter of 2013, a reflection of the lower processed tonnage as well as the previously announced additional costs associated with the rental of temporary primary crushing equipment in the quarter.

For the 12 months ended December 31, 2014, 233,202 tonnes of ore were processed at an average grade of 5.83 g/t, and 42,078 ounces of gold were sold at an average price of CAN$1,398 (US$1,266) per ounce. This compared to 2013 results, in which 244,631 tonnes of ore were processed at an average grade of 4.65 g/t, and 35,113 ounces of gold were sold at an average price of CAN$1,434 (US$1,392) per ounce. The higher year-over-year gold sales change reflect a 25% improvement in grade, partially offset by a slight 5% decrease in processed tonnage. Cash costs at Island Gold decreased year-over-year to CAN$982 (US$889) from CAN$1,124 (US$1,092) in 2013, with the improvement being driven by the higher recovered grade. This was partially offset by a higher mining cost per tonne year-over-year, which stemmed from a greater amount of development work and a lower amount of processed tonnage year-over-year, as well as the short-term rental of crushing equipment from an outside supplier.

The focus at Island Gold for 2015 will be to position the mine for future growth. Specifically, efforts will centre on defining and delineating the current Resource base below -400 metres via 44,500 metres of delineation drilling and 14,500 metres of definition drilling, testing the eastern and western potential of the current Resource base and several targeted areas closer to surface with 61,000 metres of exploration drilling, completing mining and milling studies in preparation for future growth, and making targeted investments in assets and equipment at the mine-site. Please refer to the January 15, 2015 press release for full details regarding the Corporation's 2015 accelerated development plans for the Island Gold Mine.

Richmont is targeting 2015 production of approximately 45,000 to 50,000 ounces of gold at the Island Gold Mine.

1	Mineral Resources presented are exclusive of Mineral Reserves. Please refer to the detailed Reserve & Resource table on page 12 for details. Mineral Resources that are not Mineral Reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.
2	In 2014, based on a gold price of US$1,200/oz and an exchange rate of CAN$1.0833 = US$1.00 (in 2013, a gold price of US$1,225/oz and an exchange rate of CAN$1.06 = US$1.00 were used).

Proven and Probable Reserves at Island Gold were increased by 28%, net of 2014 mining depletion. As of December 31, 2014, total Proven and Probable Reserves at the Island Gold Mine were 183,750 gold ounces, of which 51%, or 93,750 ounces, are located in zones below -400 metres. This compared to Proven and Probable Reserves of 143,500 gold ounces at the end of December 2013. The updated Reserve estimate reflects the 16,897 metres of definition drilling and 17,702 metres of delineation drilling completed during the year, which successfully replaced Reserves that were mined during the year.

The estimated Measured and Indicated Resources of Island Gold Mine totalled 219,050 ounces of gold at December 31, 2014, which includes 154,200 ounces of gold within the lower extension below -400 metres. Measured and Indicated Resources within the Island Gold Mine infrastructure decreased from the December 31, 2013 level of 233,350 gold ounces, reflecting that some Resources were successfully reclassified as Reserves. Measured and Indicated Resources are exclusive of Reserves.

Estimated Inferred Resources were 1,002,750 ounces of gold at the end of 2014, with the extension below -400 metres encompassing 919,950 of these ounces. This compares to Inferred Resources of 1,037,350 ounces of gold at the end of 2013, which included 954,600 ounces in the deeper extension of the mine.

Gold grades of the Mineral Resources are slightly lower compared to 2013. This reflects some changes made in the kriging parameters used in the deeper extension estimation as well as a decreased of the gold assay capping levels for some of the lower parallel zones. Capping was reduced from 95 to 70 g/t Au for the B Zone and from 40 to 31 g/t Au for the D, D1 and E1E zones following a new statistical review.

The Corporation hired RPA, an independent consultant, to conduct a review of the estimated Mineral Resources for the zones below a vertical depth of -400 metres at the Island Gold Mine. RPA concluded that the estimate is reasonable, has been adequately prepared using standard industry practices, and conforms to the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (CIM) Definition Standards for Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves (CIM definitions) as incorporated into National Instrument 43-101 (NI 43-101).

A portion of the C Zone Resource, located between the -535 metres and -675 metres levels, have been successfully transferred into Reserves following definition drilling and development that were completed in 2014. A study comparing the Resources as of December 31, 2013 and the Resources/Reserves and mined material as of December 31, 2014 for this specific area was completed, with the results showing good reconciliation. Specifically, at the end of 2013, 286,000 tonnes at a grade of 8.3 g/t were estimated for this area. This compared very favourably to the 294,000 tonnes at a grade of 8.67 g/t at the end of 2014, with all material (including mined material) reported as a Resource with no recovery or dilution take into account. This result is for a small portion of the C Zone and, consequently, should not be extrapolated to the entire C Zone area.

The Beaufor Mine continued its strong performance momentum into the fourth quarter of 2014, generating year-over-year increases of 7% and 32% in processed tonnage levels and average head grade, respectively, which were driven by more selective mining and tonnage originating from the M Zone of the mine. A total of 27,065 tonnes of ore were processed from the Beaufor Mine at an average grade of 6.82 g/t in the fourth quarter of 2014, compared to processed tonnage of 25,219 tonnes at an average grade of 5.15 g/t in the fourth quarter of 2013. Combined with a stronger gold recovery rate, these improvements drove gold sales of 5,839 ounces in the current period at an average realized price of CAN$1,367 (US$1,204) per ounce, compared with fourth quarter 2013 gold sales of 4,051 ounces at an average realized price of CAN$1,319 (US$1,257) per ounce. Resulting cash costs at this mine decreased 37% to CAN$935 (US$823) in the fourth quarter of 2014, from CAN$1,494 (US$1,423) in the comparable period last year.

For 2014, a total of 111,474 tonnes of ore were processed from the Beaufor Mine at an average grade of 6.84 g/t, and 24,006 ounces of gold were sold at an average price of CAN$1,399 (US$1,267). This compared to tonnage of 124,569 at an average grade of 5.88 g/t, and gold sales of 23,028 ounces at an average price of CAN$1,417 (US$1,376) in 2013. Cash costs at the Beaufor Mine for the 12 months of 2014 decreased 13% to CAN$946 (US$856) from CAN$1,082 (US$1,051) last year, driven by the improved grade resulting from a more selective mining approach.

2015 production from the Quebec assets, which includes the Beaufor and Monique mines is expected to be approximately 33,000 to 37,000 ounces of gold.

1	Mineral Resources presented are exclusive of Mineral Reserves. Mineral Reserves and Resources of the W Zone and 350 Zone are included as at Dec. 31, 2014 and Dec. 31, 2013. Please refer to the detailed Reserve & Resource table on page 12 for details. Mineral Resources that are not Mineral Reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.
2	In 2014, based on a gold price of US$1,200/oz and an exchange rate of CAN$1.0833 = US$1.00 (in 2013, a gold price of US$1,225/oz and an exchange rate of CAN$1.06 = US$1.00 were used).

Proven and Probable Reserves at the Beaufor Mine property, which include estimated Reserves located within the W Zone and 350 Zone, decreased to 32,750 gold ounces at December 31, 2014, from 43,950 gold ounces at December 31, 2013, as 12,801 metres of definition drilling on the Beaufor Mine property in 2014 was insufficient to replace mined Reserves during the year. More than half of the Proven and Probable Reserves are contained in two zones, namely the M-M1 Zone with 48,000 tonnes at a grade of 7.32 g/t for 11,400 ounces and the 350 Zone with 28,000 tonnes at a grade of 7.34 g/t for 6,650 ounces.

Measured and Indicated Resources at the Beaufor Mine property, including those of the W Zone and 350 Zone, were essentially unchanged at 189,850 ounces of gold at the end of December 2014 versus 188,500 ounces of gold at the end of 2013, while Inferred Resources decreased to 155,600 ounces of gold versus 189,200 ounces at December 31, 2013 mainly as a result of a change in the estimation parameters for the Q Zone, which contains Inferred Resource with 240,000 tonnes at a grade of 6.96 g/t for 53,700 ounces.

A total of 77,874 tonnes were processed from the open-pit Monique Mine at an average grade of 2.84 g/t in the fourth quarter of 2014. This compared to the 51,541 tonnes processed at an average grade of 1.90 g/t processed in the same period in 2013 following the commencement of commercial production on October 1, 2013. Gold sales from this mine totaled 6,775 ounces at an average price of CAN$1,366 (US$1,203) during the fourth quarter of 2014, versus gold sales of 2,976 ounces at an average price of CAN$1,328 (US$1,265) per ounce in the comparable period of 2013. Fourth quarter cash costs at Monique decreased significantly to CAN$586 (US$516) in 2014, from CAN$1,290 (US$1,230) in the same period in 2013, primarily a reflection of high cash costs in the 2013 period during which production was ramping up in the first months of commercial operation.

During the 12 months of 2014 a total of 279,884 tonnes of ore were processed at an average grade of 2.72 g/t from the Monique Mine, versus processed tonnage of 51,541 tonnes at an average grade of 1.90 g/t in 2013, which included only 3 months of commercial production. Annual gold sales from this mine totaled 23,490 ounces at an average price of CAN$1,387 (US$1,256) in the 12 months of 2014, versus gold sales of 2,976 ounces at an average price of CAN$1,328 (US$1,265) per ounce in the three months of commercial production in 2013. Annual cash costs of CAN$910 (US$824) reflect a full year of production, and compared to cash costs of CAN$1,290 (US$1,230) in the year-ago period, which included the first three months of commercial operation.

Mining activities at the Monique open-pit were completed in the last week of January 2015. Along with the ore that was generated in the first month of 2015, the on-site stockpile of over 158,000 tonnes of ore at 1.81 g/t as at the end of December 2014 will continue to be batch processed at the Corporation's Camflo Mill through to the third quarter of 2015.

A total of 37,055 tonnes of ore were processed at an average grade of 4.25 g/t from the W Zone on the Beaufor Mine property in 2014. Annual gold sales from this mine were 4,929 ounces at an average price of CAN$1,405 (US$1,272) per ounce. This compared to 23,262 tonnes at an average grade of 3.25 g/t, and gold sales of 2,326 ounces at an average price of CAN$1,328 (US$1,265) in the year-ago period. Cash costs at the operation were CAN$992 (US$899) in 2014, versus CAN$1,441 (US$1,373) in 2013, a result of the cessation of development related costs when operations were ceased in the second quarter of 2014. Following the end of mining at the W Zone in the second quarter of 2014, assets from the operation were transferred to the Corporation's Beaufor Mine and Island Gold Mine.

Camflo Mill

The Camflo Mill processed a total of 115,694 tonnes during the fourth quarter of 2014, versus 106,806 tonnes in the comparable period of 2013. For the full year, a total of 435,371 tonnes were processed at the Camflo Mill, up 37% from the 317,038 tonnes processed in 2013. This increase was attributable to the contribution of a full year of commercial production from the Monique Mine in 2014, versus only three months in the prior year. The Corporation expects to continue operating the Camflo Mill at full capacity through the third quarter of 2015, after which utilization rates are expected to decrease to approximately 30% when only ore from the Beaufor Mine will continue to be processed once the Monique stockpile has been milled. The Corporation will pursue and evaluate opportunities to fill the future unused capacity at the mill.
