Estimated recoverable ounces are determined by the Company based upon its proven and probable reserves and estimated metal recovery associated with those reserves. When multiple pits exist at a mining complex utilizing common processing facilities, mine development costs are capitalized for each pit and amortized using the units-of-production method based upon estimated recoverable gold ounces from proven and probable reserves at each pit.

<div> 2. Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2011-04, "Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") and International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS")." This pronouncement was issued to provide a consistent definition of fair value and ensure that the fair value measurement and disclosure requirements are similar between U.S. GAAP and IFRS. ASU 2011-04 changes certain fair value measurement principles and changes the disclosure requirements to include quantitative information about unobservable inputs used for level 3 fair value measurements. This pronouncement was effective for reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2011 (early adoption was prohibited). The adoption of this guidance had no effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations, cash flows, and disclosures. In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-12, "Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05." ASU 2011-12 indefinitely defers certain provisions of ASU 2011-05 relating to the presentation of reclassification adjustments out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. This pronouncement was effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this guidance had no effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations, cash flows, and disclosures. </div>

<div> 13. Other Liabilities, Non-Current As of March 31, 2012, other accrued liabilities totaled $10.2 million, of which $9.4 million was for the Company's Deferred Phantom Unit Plan (the "DPU Plan"). The DPU Plan was adopted by the Board of Directors in April 2009. Under the DPU Plan, non-employee directors receive a portion of their annual compensation in DPUs quarterly. Each DPU has the same value as one Allied Nevada common share. DPUs must be retained until the director leaves the Board, at which time the value of the DPU will be paid out in cash. In the event dividends are declared and paid, additional DPUs would be credited to reflect dividends paid on Allied Nevada's common shares. Currently, the DPU Plan does not contain a maximum amount of DPUs available for grant. The following table summarizes the Company's DPUs and changes during the periods:   <table style="border-collapse: collapse;" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="76%" align="center"> <tr><td width="80%"> </td> <td valign="bottom" width="3%"> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td valign="bottom" width="3%"> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td></tr> <tr><td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td style="border-bottom: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom" colspan="6" align="center">Three months ended March 31,</td> <td valign="bottom"> </td></tr> <tr><td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td style="border-bottom: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom" colspan="2" align="center">2012</td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td style="border-bottom: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom" colspan="2" align="center">2011</td> <td valign="bottom"> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#cceeff"><td valign="top"> Outstanding, beginning of year</td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">281,869</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">238,000</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td></tr> <tr><td valign="top"> Granted</td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">—  </td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">21,000</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td></tr> <tr style="font-size: 1px;"><td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td> </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#cceeff"><td valign="top"> Outstanding, end of period</td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">281,869</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">259,000</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td></tr> <tr style="font-size: 1px;"><td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td> </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td> </td></tr></table> DPUs are recorded at fair value on the quarterly award date and are adjusted for changes in fair value. The fair value of amounts granted each period, together with the change in fair value, is expensed. DPU expense recognized during the three month periods ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 totaled $0.9 and $2.9 million, respectively. An amendment to the DPU Plan was approved by the Company's shareholders in October 2011 to permit accrued DPUs to continue to be paid out in cash, or at the sole discretion of the Board, shares of the Company's common stock. The Board of Directors has determined that adoption of the amended DPU Plan is contingent upon a favorable regulatory ruling. If adopted, the amended DPU Plan permits a maximum of 300,000 shares of common stock for issuance. </div>

<div> 21. Commitments and Contingencies The Company is from time to time involved in various legal proceedings related to its business. Management does not believe that adverse decisions are likely in any pending or threatened proceeding, or that amounts that may be required to be paid by reason thereof will have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. Net Profit Royalty A portion of the Hycroft Mine is subject to a mining lease requiring a 4% net profit royalty payable to the owner of certain patented and unpatented mining claims. The mining lease agreement requires payment of $120,000 in any year when mining occurs on the leased claims. All advance royalty payments are credited against the future payments under the 4% net profits royalty. The total payments under the above mining lease are subject to a maximum $7.6 million in royalty payments, of which the Company has paid approximately $1.3 million as of March 31, 2012. Purchase obligations At March 31, 2012, the Company had purchase obligations totaling $360.3 million for the purchase of capital items associated with ongoing expansion projects at Hycroft, which included, haul trucks, drills, crushers, shovels, engineering, and other capital items. The Company has the ability to cancel certain purchase obligations subject to the terms of the individual vendor agreements, which may include penalties. It is expected that a portion of the capital items associated with the purchase obligations will be acquired under capital lease. </div>

<div> 11. Revolving Credit Facility and Lease Obligations Revolving Credit Facility In May 2011, the Company entered into a three-year $30.0 million revolving credit agreement that matures in May 2014. The revolving credit facility is collateralized by substantially all the assets of the Company. The interest rate on drawdowns is at either an applicable rate plus a base rate or an applicable rate plus LIBOR with the applicable rate determined by financial ratios of the Company. The Company has the ability to repay any borrowings under the facility in part or entirety at any time without penalty. The Company is required to pay a standby fee, dependent on financial ratios, on undrawn amounts under the revolving credit facility. The credit agreement contains various financial covenants related to net worth, interest coverage and leverage ratios, and contains limitations on dividends. In addition, the Company must satisfy certain affirmative and restrictive covenants. The Company was in compliance with all covenants as of March 31, 2012. The Company incurred loan origination fees of $0.5 million during the origination of the revolving credit facility, which are being amortized to interest expense over the term of the credit agreement. At March 31, 2012, no amount was outstanding on the revolving credit facility. Capital Lease Obligations During the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Company entered into two capital leases for the purchase of mining equipment and now has a total of 22 capital leases, most of which have 60-month terms. The weighted average implicit interest rate for these capital leases is approximately five percent. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Company capitalized $0.2 million of interest expense from capital lease obligations. Three of the Company's capital leases contain financial covenants related to debt service coverage and leverage. The Company was in compliance with its capital lease covenants as of March 31, 2012. Assets under capital leases are included in Plant and Equipment (Note 7) and are summarized in the table below (in thousands):   <table style="border-collapse: collapse;" border="0" cellspacing="0"

<div> 20. Fair Value Measurements The Company's financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents and accounts payable are carried at cost, which approximates fair value due to the short-term maturity of these instruments. Fair value accounting establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below: Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities; Level 2 – Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; Level 3 – Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity). As required by accounting guidance, assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. There were no changes to the Company's valuation techniques during the three months ended March 31, 2012. The following table sets forth by level within the fair value hierarchy the Company's financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in thousands).   <table style="border-collapse: collapse;" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="92%" align="center"> <tr><td width="74%"> </td> <td valign="bottom" width="3%"> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td valign="bottom" width="3%"> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td valign="bottom" width="3%"> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td valign="bottom" width="3%"> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td></tr> <tr><td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td style="border-bottom: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom" colspan="14" align="center">Fair value at March 31, 2012</td> <td valign="bottom"> </td></tr> <tr><td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap"> Assets</td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td style="border-bottom: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom" colspan="2" align="center">Level 1</td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td style="border-bottom: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom" colspan="2" align="center">Level 2</td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td style="border-bottom: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom" colspan="2" align="center">Level 3</td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td style="border-bottom: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom" colspan="2" align="center">Total</td> <td valign="bottom"> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#cceeff"><td valign="top"> Available-for-sale securities:</td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td></tr> <tr><td valign="top"> Marketable equity securities</td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">$</td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">2,129</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">$</td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">—  </td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">$</td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">—  </td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">$</td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">2,129</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td></tr> <tr style="font-size: 1px;"><td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td> </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td> </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td> </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#cceeff"><td valign="top"> Balance, end of period</td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">$</td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">2,129</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">$</td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">—  </td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">$</td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">—  </td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">$</td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">2,129</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td></tr> <tr style="font-size: 1px;"><td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td> </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td> </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td> </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td> </td></tr></table> The Company did not have any financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis at March 31, 2011. The Company's marketable equity securities are valued using quoted market prices in active markets and as such are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the marketable equity securities is calculated as the quoted price of the marketable equity security multiplied by the quantity of shares held by the Company. The Company has elected to account for its available-for-sale securities using the fair value option in accordance with ASC 825 Financial Instruments. Available-for-sale equity securities are classified as "other assets, non-current" in the consolidated balance sheet with related changes in the fair value included in current period earnings. Included in "other income" for the three months ended March 31, 2012 is a $0.7 million unrealized holding gain to record the change in fair value of the Company's available-for-sale securities. </div>

<div> 16. Income Tax Expense For the three months ended March 31, 2012, Allied Nevada incurred tax expense of approximately $4.0 million based on an estimated effective rate of 25.0%. Tax expense during the same period of 2011 was $0.1 million based on an estimated effective rate of 29.4%. The estimated effective tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 are different from the United States statutory rate of 35% primarily due to the percentage depletion deduction, which is a permanent difference between income tax and financial reporting treatment of the Company's utilization of the above deduction. </div>

<div> 1. Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all of the normal and recurring adjustments necessary to fairly present the interim financial information set forth herein have been included. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the operating results of a full year or of future years. The preparation of the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. The more significant areas requiring the use of management estimates and assumptions relate to mineral reserves that are the basis for future cash flow estimates utilized in impairment calculations and units of production amortization calculations; estimates of recoverable gold and silver in leach pad inventories; the classification of current and long-term leach pad inventories; net realizable value of ore on leach pads; environmental, reclamation and closure obligations; and estimates of fair value for asset impairments. The Company bases its estimates on various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Accordingly, actual results may differ significantly from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. These interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States and, with the exception of the new accounting pronouncements described in Note 2, follow the same accounting policies and methods of their application as the most recent annual financial statements. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related footnotes included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K of Allied Nevada for the year ended December 31, 2011. <div> Reclassifications Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements to conform to the current period presentation. The Company reclassified project development expenses from Corporate general and administrative to Exploration, development, and land holding costs in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income for the three months ended March 31, 2011. The Company included its Foreign exchange gain with Other income in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income for the three months ended March 31, 2011. The Company reclassified its asset retirement cost asset from Other assets, non-current to Mineral properties in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2011. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported total assets, cash flows, or net income.</div>   </div>

expenditures for leach pad expansion, $2.2 million in expenditures for power and electrical equipment, $1.4 million in expenditures for an enterprise resource planning system, $1.0 million in expenditures for processing improvements, and $4.0 million in expenditures for other capital items.   Allied Nevada primarily depreciates its assets using a straight-line method over the useful lives of the assets ranging from two to ten years. The leach pads are depreciated on a units-of-production method based upon estimated recoverable gold ounces from proven and probable reserves. </div>

Segment Information Allied Nevada is currently engaged in the operation of the Hycroft Mine and the evaluation, acquisition, exploration, and advancement of gold exploration and development projects in Nevada. The Company identifies its reportable segments as those consolidated mining operations or functional groups that represent more than 10% of the combined revenue, profit or loss or total assets of all reported operating segments. Consolidated mining operations or functional groups not meeting this threshold are aggregated at the corporate level for segment reporting purposes. Intercompany revenue and expense amounts have been eliminated within each segment in order to report on the basis that management uses internally for evaluating segment performance.

Liabilities, Non-Current (Note 13) if adopted, the amended Deferred Phantom Unit Plan would make available a maximum of 300,000 shares of common stock for issuance to the Company's non-employee directors. Deferred Share Unit Plan The Deferred Share Plan (the "DSU Plan") was approved by the Company's shareholders in October 2011. The Board of Directors has determined that adoption of the DSU Plan is contingent upon a favorable regulatory ruling. When the DSU Plan is adopted, it is expected non-employee directors will receive a portion of their annual retainer in DSUs. Each DSU will have the same value as one Allied Nevada common share. DSUs must be retained until the director leaves the Board, at which time the DSUs will be settled in shares of the Company's common stock unless minimum share requirements are satisfied in which case the Board or Committee thereof can authorize a cash payment. In the event dividends are declared and paid, additional DSUs would be credited to reflect dividends paid on Allied Nevada's common shares. The DSU Plan would permit 500,000 shares of common stock to be issued under the Plan. </div>
