FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS This presentation contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, included in this presentation that address activities, events or developments that Antero Resources Corporation and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company” or “Antero”) expects, believes or anticipates will or may occur in the future are forward-looking statements. The words “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “intend,” “estimate,” “project,” “foresee,” “should,” “would,” “could,” or other similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. However, the absence of these words does not mean that the statements are not forward-looking. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, forwardlooking statements contained in this presentation specifically include estimates of the Company’s reserves, expectations of plans, strategies, objectives and anticipated financial and operating results of the Company, including as to the Company’s drilling program, production, hedging activities, capital expenditure levels and other guidance included in this presentation. These statements are based on certain assumptions made by the Company based on management’s experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions, anticipated future developments and other factors believed to be appropriate. Such statements are subject to a number of assumptions, risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the control of the Company, which may cause actual results to differ materially from those implied or expressed by the forward-looking statements. These include the factors discussed or referenced under the heading “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 and in the Company’s subsequent filings with the SEC. The Company cautions you that these forward-looking statements are subject to all of the risks and uncertainties, most of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control, incident to the exploration for and development, production, gathering and sale of natural gas and oil. These risks include, but are not limited to, commodity price volatility, inflation, lack of availability of drilling and production equipment and services, environmental risks, drilling and other operating risks, regulatory changes, the uncertainty inherent in estimating natural gas and oil reserves and in projecting future rates of production, cash flow and access to capital, the timing of development expenditures, and the other risks described under the heading “Risk Factors” in the Registration Statement and in the Company’s subsequent filings with the SEC. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made and the Company undertakes no obligation to correct or update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by applicable law.

ANTERO: A “PURE PLAY” ON THE MARCELLUS / UTICA Critical Mass In Two World Class Shale Plays

● Marcellus is the largest gas field in the U.S., 2nd largest in the world – Industry production approximately 14 Bcf/d today ● Antero has 35 Tcfe of fully engineered and audited 3P reserves in Marcellus and Utica Shales ● 678 MMcfe/d of average net production in 4Q 2013 including approximately 11,100 Bbl/d of liquids

Market Leading Growth

● 159% Appalachian production CAGR for 2010 to 2013 ● Most active driller in Appalachia – 20 rigs running − Most active driller in Marcellus Shale – 15 rigs running − 3rd most active driller in the Utica Shale – 5 rigs running

Industry Leading Capital Efficiency and Recycle Ratio

● Low development cost leader: $1.03/Mcfe(1) ● Industry leading growth-adjusted recycle ratio: 6.1x(1) ● Top quartile return on productive capital: 27% for 2013E

Significant Emphasis on Takeaway and Liquids Processing

● 1.6 Bcf/d of processing capacity and 1.7 Bcf/d of gas takeaway ● Liquids expected to grow from 10% of fourth quarter 2013 production to ~ 16% in 2014 due to focus on liquids-rich development

Liquidity and Hedge Position Support High Growth Story

● ~$1.2 billion pro forma available liquidity with current $1.5 billion bank commitment(2) ● 1.3 Tcfe hedged through 2019 at an average index price of $4.62/MMBtu and $96.54/Bbl

Outstanding Management Team 1. Three year average through 2012; pro forma for Arkoma and Piceance divestitures. 2. See page 23 for the derivation of 12/31/2013 liquidity.

● Over 30 years as a team (over 20 years in unconventional) ● “Shale Pioneers” – early mover and driller of over 500 horizontal shale wells in the Barnett, Woodford, Marcellus and Utica Shales

Proved, probable, and possible reserves as of December 31, 2013, assuming ethane rejection using SEC methodology and SEC pricing. Evaluations prepared by our internal reserve engineers and audited by DeGolyer & MacNaughton (D&M). Pre-Tax 3P PV-10 is a non-GAAP financial measure. Represents the average net daily production for the period October 1, 2013 through December 31, 2013. All net acres allocated to the Dry Gas Utica and Upper Devonian Shale are included among the net acres allocated to the Marcellus Shale as they are stacked pay formations attributable to the same leases.

ANTERO’S MARCELLUS SHALE TYPE CURVE SUPPORT  Antero has over four years of production history to support its 1.5 Bcf/1,000’ type curve (non-SSL)  Antero’s SSL type curve has been increased to 1.73 Bcf/1,000’ with only 12% higher well costs  Lack of faulting and contiguous acreage position allows for drilling of long laterals ~ 7,300’ − Drives down costs per 1,000’ of lateral resulting in best-in-class development costs
