2. Forward Looking Statements
Information included in this presentation relating to the Company's expected production levels, production growth, costs, cash flows, economic returns,
exploration activities, potential for increasing resources, project expenditures and business plans are "forward-looking statements" or "forward-looking
information" within the meaning of certain securities laws, including under the provisions of Canadian provincial securities laws and under the United States
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and are referred to herein as "forward-looking statements." The Company does not intend, and does not
assume any obligation, to update these forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements represent management's best judgment based on
current facts and assumptions that management considers reasonable, including that operating and capital plans will not be disrupted by issues such as
mechanical failure, unavailability of parts, labour disturbances, interruption in transportation or utilities, or adverse weather conditions, that there are no
material unanticipated variations in budgeted costs, that contractors will complete projects according to schedule, and that actual mineralization on
properties will be consistent with models and will not be less than identified mineral reserves. The Company makes no representation that reasonable
business people in possession of the same information would reach the same conclusions. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks,
uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from any future
results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. In particular, delays in development or mining and
fluctuations in the price of gold or in currency markets could prevent the Company from achieving its targets. Readers should not place undue reliance on
forward-looking statements. More information about risks and uncertainties affecting the Company and its business is available in the Company's most
recent Annual Information Form and other regulatory filings with the Canadian Securities Administrators, which are posted on sedar at www.sedar.com, or
the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 40-F and other regulatory filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
QUALITY CONTROL
Lake Shore Gold has a quality control program to ensure best practices in the sampling and analysis of drill core. A total of three Quality Control samples
consisting of 1 blank, 1 certified standard and 1 reject duplicate are inserted into groups of 20 drill core samples. The blanks and the certified standards are
checked to be within acceptable limits prior to being accepted into the GEMS SQL database. Routine assays have been completed using a standard fire
assay with a 30-gram aliquot. For samples that return a value greater than three grams per tonne gold on exploration projects and greater than 10 gpt at the
Timmins mine and Thunder Creek underground project, the remaining pulp is taken and fire assayed with a gravimetric finish. Select zones with visible gold
are typically tested by pulp metallic analysis on some projects. NQ size drill core is saw cut and half the drill core is sampled in standard intervals. The
remaining half of the core is stored in a secure location. The drill core is transported in security-sealed bags for preparation at ALS Chemex Prep Lab
located in Timmins, Ontario, and the pulps shipped to ALS Chemex Assay Laboratory in Vancouver, B.C. ALS Chemex is an ISO 9001-2000 registered
laboratory preparing for ISO 17025 certification.

25. Non-GAAP Measures
Cash Operating Costs per Ounce
Cash operating cost per ounce is a Non-GAAP measure. In the gold mining industry, cash operating cost per
ounce is a common performance measure but does not have any standardized meaning. Cash operating costs
per ounce are based on ounces sold and are derived from amounts included in the Consolidated Statements of
Comprehensive Loss (Income) and include mine site operating costs such as mining, processing and
administration, but exclude depreciation, depletion and share-based payment expenses and reclamation costs.
The Company discloses cash cost per ounce as it believes this measure provides valuable assistance to
investors and analysts in evaluating the Company’s performance and ability to generate cash flow. This
measure should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures prepared in accordance with
GAAP such as total production costs.
All-In Sustaining Costs
Effective the second quarter 2013, the Company has adopted a total all-in sustaining cost (“AISC”)
performance measure. AISC is a Non-GAAP measure. The measure is intended to assist readers in
evaluating the total costs of producing gold from current operations. While there is no standardized meaning
across the industry for this measure, the Company’s definition conforms to the AISC definition as set out by the
World Gold Council in its guidance note dated June 27, 2013. The Company defines all-in sustaining cost as
the sum of cash costs from mine operations, sustaining capital (capital required to maintain current operations
at existing levels), corporate general and administrative expenses, in-mine exploration expenses and
reclamation cost accretion related to current operations. All-in sustaining cost excludes growth capital,
reclamation cost accretion not related to current operations and interest and other financing costs.
