In respect of the forward-looking information concerning the anticipated completion of the proposed Transaction and the anticipated timing thereof, Kirkland Lake has provided them in reliance on certain assumptions that it believes are reasonable at this time, including assumptions as to the time required to prepare and mail shareholder meeting materials, including the required information circular; the ability of the parties to receive, in a timely manner, the necessary regulatory, court, shareholder and other third party approvals; and the ability of the parties to satisfy, in a timely manner, the other conditions to the closing of the Transaction. These dates may change for a number of reasons, including unforeseen delays in preparing meeting materials, inability to secure necessary shareholder, regulatory, court or other third party approvals in the time assumed or the need for additional time to satisfy the other conditions to the completion of the Transaction.

Such opinions, assumptions and estimates, are inherently subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties and other known and unknown factors that could cause actual events or results to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. These factors are discussed in length in the Company's annual Management's Discussion and Analysis and Annual Information Form for the year ended April 30, 2015. and the Company’s Management's Discussion and Analysis for the interim period ended October 31, 2015 filed with the securities regulatory authorities in certain provinces of Canada and available at www.sedar.com.

Although the Company has attempted to identify important risks, uncertainties and factors which could cause actual results to differ materially, there may be others that cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. The Company does not intend, and does not assume any obligation, to update these forward-looking statements except as otherwise required by applicable law.

Creating A New Mid-Tier Gold Producer

Ontario Focused Intermediate Gold Producer

Ontario-focused intermediate producer expected to produce between 260 – 310 koz of gold in 2016 Improved diversification with production from four mines and two centrally located mills in Ontario’s southern Abitibi greenstone belt

Improved Financial Flexibility

Solid balance sheet with over C$100 million in cash Combination of strong future cash flows Ability to benefit from future operational and corporate synergies

Enhanced Market Profile

Two companies are covered by 15 research analysts collectively Enhanced trading liquidity and appeal to a larger shareholder base

Exploration Upside

Consolidation of large land holdings in the heart of two Ontario gold camps Proximity to existing mine infrastructure

Further Opportunities

Combined entity has a stronger market positioning and warrants a re-rating Leveraged to the Canadian dollar gold price
