Attention: R. Xxxxx Xxxxxxx, CEO

Dear Sirs:

In furtherance of an agreement among Apollo Gold Corporation (the "Corporation") and Regent Securities Capital Corporation ("Regent" or the "Agent") dated as of January 25, 2007 (the "Engagement Letter"), the Agent hereby agrees to act as agent for sale by way of a private placement, on a best efforts basis, of up to US$8,580,000 in principal amount of unsecured convertible debentures (the "Debentures") where each US$1,000 of Debentures will convert, at the option of the holder at any time before Maturity (hereinafter defined), into 2,000 common shares, and each US$1,000 of Debentures will be accompanied by 2,000 common share purchase warrants (the "Debenture Warrants") of the Corporation (the "Offering"). The Debentures and the Debenture Warrants (the "Offered Securities") will, subject to certain provisions described herein, have the following general characteristics:

(a) The Debentures will have a term of two (2) years from Closing ("Maturity"), and will bear interest at 1% per month (or part thereof) in the first 12 months from Closing, increasing to 1.5% per month (or part thereof) for the remaining 12 months until Maturity. Interest is calculated on a simple basis (not compounded), and will be payable annually on each anniversary date of the Closing, unless the Debentures have been converted.

(b) The Debentures are convertible at the option of the holder at any time before Maturity into the common shares ("Debenture Common Shares") of the Corporation at the rate of US$0.50 per each Debenture Common Share (meaning each US$1,000 of Debentures will convert into 2,000 Debenture Common Shares).

(c) The Debenture Warrants each entitle the holder to purchase one common share of the Corporation ("Debenture Warrant Shares") at a price of US$0.50 for a period of two (2) years from Closing.

(d) At Maturity, each holder of a Debenture will have the option to receive payment in full, with applicable interest, or to convert the principal amount of the Debenture into Debenture Common Shares at the rate of US$0.50 (meaning each US$1,000 of

Debentures will convert into 2,000 Debenture Common Shares), and receive the applicable interest to the date of conversion.

(e) The Corporation will have the option to force conversion of the Debentures ("Forced Conversion") at any time after September 24, 2007 and prior to Maturity in the event that the 20 day weighted average trading price of the Corporation’s shares on AMEX, or such other principal trading market on which the Corporation's shares are trading, equals or exceeds US$0.90; provided, however, in no event may the Corporation force conversion of the Debenture if any holder would beneficially own more than 9.99% of the Corporation's Common Shares on the date of such conversion. For the purposes of this section, beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) and the rules promulgated thereunder of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. In the event that the Corporation forces conversion prior to the one year anniversary date of the Closing, the Corporation will be required to pay a total of twelve (12) months of interest payments. If the Corporation forces conversion after the one year anniversary date of Closing, there will be no additional penalty beyond the accrued and unpaid interest amount outstanding up to the date of forced conversion.

(f) In order to initiate a Forced Conversion, the Corporation must provide the holders of Debentures with written notice (the "Forced Conversion Notice") 60 days prior to the effective date (the "Forced Conversion Date").

(g) If paragraph (e) above prohibits the Corporation from initiating a Forced Conversion that would otherwise be allowed, the Corporation shall be allowed to initiate on the Forced Conversion Date a Forced Conversion of an amount of the Debenture such that the holder will not own more than 9.99% of the total issued and outstanding voting securities of the Corporation upon completion of the Forced Conversion, and the interest on that portion of the Debenture outstanding shall be reduced to 0.5% per month (simple interest not compounded) commencing on the date of the Forced Conversion Date. For the purposes of this section, beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) and the rules promulgated thereunder of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

(h) Holders will also be forced to convert the Debentures into the Debenture Common Shares on the terms outlined herein in the event of a Change of Control of the Corporation.

It is understood that the sale of the Offered Securities may take place (i) in the United Kingdom, (ii) Canada, (iii) Europe (collectively the United Kingdom, Canada and Europe are the "Offering Jurisdictions"); and (iv) in other jurisdictions as may be agreed to by the Corporation, provided that the Corporation is not required to file a prospectus or other disclosure document or become subject to continuing obligations in such other jurisdictions, in each case in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

Subject to the Registration Rights Agreement (as hereinafter defined), the Corporation agrees it will use its commercially reasonable best efforts (i) to file a Form S-1 or Form S-3 registration statement (the "Registration Statement") for the resale by the Purchasers (as hereinafter defined), as selling shareholders and not as underwriters, and Regent in the United States of the Debenture Common Shares, the Debenture Warrant Shares, and the Compensation Shares (collectively, the "Underlying Shares"), no later than 40-days after the Closing Date and (ii) to have the Registration Statement declared effective by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") no later than 120-days after the Closing Date. The Corporation’s obligation with respect to registration with the SEC will be set forth in Schedule B - Registration Rights Agreement (the "Registration Rights Agreement") to the subscription agreements (the "Subscription Agreements") for the Debentures and the Debenture Warrants to which each of the Purchasers and the Corporation is a party, which Registration Rights Agreement is attached hereto as Schedule "G", as well as a separate registration rights agreement, in a similar form, with the Agent, as attached hereto as Schedule "H".

(a) any statement (other than a statement contained in and included in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Corporation by the Agent relating to the Agent specifically for use therein) in any document filed by the Corporation or any predecessor thereto with the relevant securities regulatory authorities in Canada since December 31, 2003 including all press releases filed on SEDAR, which at the time and in the light of the circumstances under which it was made contains or is alleged to contain a misrepresentation;

(b) the omission or alleged omission to state in any certificate of the Corporation or of any officers of the Corporation delivered hereunder or pursuant hereto any material fact (other than a material fact omitted in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Corporation by the Agent relating to the Agent specifically for use therein) required to be stated therein where such omission or alleged omission constitutes or is alleged to constitute a misrepresentation;

(c) any order made or any inquiry, investigation or proceeding commenced or threatened by any securities regulatory authority, stock exchange or by any other competent authority based upon any failure or alleged failure to comply with applicable securities laws (other than any failure or alleged failure to comply by the Agent) preventing and restricting the trading in or the sale of the Offered Securities in the provinces of Canada or in the United States or any state thereof;

-29-

(d) the non-compliance or alleged non-compliance by the Corporation with any requirement of Applicable Securities Laws, including the Corporation's non-compliance with any statutory requirement to make any document available for inspection; or

(e) any breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of the Corporation contained herein or the failure of the Corporation to comply with any of its obligations hereunder,

and will reimburse the Agent promptly upon demand for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by it in connection with investigating or defending any such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or actions in respect thereof, as incurred.

The Corporation shall not pursuant to this indemnity be obliged in any event to pay, as regards any particular Claim or series of related Claims, the fees and disbursements of more than one counsel in addition to those of its own counsel.

The Agent covenants and agrees that it shall use its reasonable efforts to co-operate fully with the Corporation in the investigation and defence of any Claim or potential Claim and to cause any other Indemnified Party to so cooperate.

Promptly after receipt by the Agent or any other indemnified party of notice of or the communication of any Claim or of any fact which reasonably might give rise to any Claim, the Agent or such other party shall notify the Corporation in writing of such Claim or facts and the Corporation shall assume the investigation and defence or contestation thereof and shall employ counsel satisfactory to the Agent, acting reasonably, and neither the Agent nor such other party shall incur any expense as regards such Claim or facts, including any investigation for which the Corporation would be liable to indemnify without the Corporation's prior written consent which shall not be unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence the Agent will be entitled to employ counsel separate from counsel to the Corporation or to any other party in such action if the Agent, acting reasonably, determines that a conflict of interest exists which makes representations by counsel chosen by the Corporation not advisable or that it is likely that such a conflict of interest will develop.

The Corporation shall not, without the prior written consent of the Agent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification may be sought hereunder (whether or not the Agent or any Agent's Personnel are a party to such claim, action, suit or proceeding), unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of the Agent and all Agent's Personnel from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, an indemnifying party shall not be liable for the settlement of any claim or action in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

If any matter or thing contemplated by this section shall be asserted against any person in respect of which indemnification is or might reasonably be considered to be provided, such person (the

-30-

"Indemnified Party") will notify the Corporation as soon as possible and in any event on a timely basis, of the nature of such claim and the Corporation shall be entitled (but not required) to assume the defence of any suit brought to enforce such claim; provided, however, that the defence shall be through legal counsel acceptable to the Indemnified Party, acting reasonably, and that no settlement may be made by the Corporation or the Indemnified Party without the prior written consent of the other.

To the extent that any Indemnified Party is not a party to this Agreement, the Agent shall obtain and hold the right and benefit of the indemnity provisions hereunder in trust for and on behalf of such Indemnified Party.

11. Contribution

In the event that the indemnity provided for above is, for any reason, illegal or unenforceable as being contrary to public policy or for any other reason, each of the Agent and the Corporation shall contribute to the aggregate of all losses, claims, costs, damages, expenses or liabilities (including any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any action or claim which is the subject of this section but excluding loss of profits or consequential damages) of the nature provided for above such that the Agent shall be responsible for that portion represented by the percentage that the Agent Fees paid by the Corporation to the Agent bears to the Gross Proceeds realized from the sale of the Offered Securities and the Corporation shall be responsible for the balance, whether or not it has been sued, provided that, in no event, shall an Agent be responsible for any amount in excess of the amount of the Agent Fees actually received by it. In the event that the Corporation may be held to be entitled to contribution from the Agent under the provisions of any statute or law, the Corporation shall be limited to contribution in an amount not exceeding the lesser of: (i) the portion of the full amount of losses, claims, costs, damages, expenses and liabilities, giving rise to such contribution for which the Agent is responsible, as determined above, and (ii) the amount of the Agent Fees actually received by the Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a party guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation shall not be entitled to contribution from the other party. Any party entitled to contribution will, promptly after receiving notice of commencement of any claim, action, suit or proceeding against such party in respect of which a claim for contribution may be made against the other party under this section, notify such party from whom contribution may be sought. In no case shall such party from whom contribution may be sought be liable under this Agreement unless such notice has been provided, but the omission to so notify such party shall not relieve the party from whom contribution may be sought from any other obligation it may have otherwise than under this section.

The rights to indemnity and contribution provided in this Agreement shall be in addition and not in derogation of any other right to indemnity or contribution which the Agent or the Corporation may have by statute or otherwise by law.
