Lake Shore Gold Corp. is poised for strong growth in 2013 and 2014. In 2012, the company met production guidance of 85,782 ounces of gold and achieved development objectives that increased production capacity by 25%. For 2013, Lake Shore Gold expects at least 40% production growth over 2012, with production costs declining as output increases. It also anticipates generating positive free cash flow by late 2013. With nearly $96 million in cash and bullion to start 2013, no additional external capital is required. Lake Shore Gold's portfolio of gold projects provides potential for further expansion beyond 2014.

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

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.
