Cautionary Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements.
This presentation contains statements which constitute ”forward-looking statements”, including statements regarding the plans, intentions, beliefs
and current expectations of the Company with respect to the future business activities and operating performance of the Company. The words
“may”, “would”, “could”, “should”, “will”, “intend”, “plan”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “estimate”, “expect” and similar expressions, as they relate to the
Company, are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements used in this Presentation include, but may
not be limited to; statements regarding the Company’s combined production guidance for 2016, and guidance from the Macassa Mine
Complex for the financial years ended 2017 and 2018 the exploration programs and the results and timing thereof, the integration of the
East Timmins Operations resulting from the SAS acquisition, and the timing thereof.
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. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on
the forward-looking information contained in this news release concerning these times.
With respect to the forward looking information of Kirkland Lake and/or St Andrew, concerning the future gold production of Kirkland Lake and St
Andrew, future cash costs of production, the gold resources and reserves of Kirkland Lake and St Andrew, and the development of the Kirkland
Lake and St Andrew properties are subject to various key assumptions described in each party’s respective Annual Information Forms and
Technical Reports referred to herein and as filed on the SEDAR profiles of both companies at www.sedar.com.
Investors are cautioned that forward-looking statements are based on the opinions, assumptions and estimates of management considered reasonable at the date
the statements are made such as, without limitation, opinion, assumptions and estimates of management regarding the Company’s business, its ability to increase
its production capacity and decrease its production cost. 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 July 31, 2015 filed with the securities regulatory authorities in certain
provinces of Canada and available at www.sedar.com.
Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements prove incorrect,
actual results may vary materially from those described herein as intended, planned, anticipated, believed, estimated or expected. 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.
