Cautionary Note Regarding Forward‐Looking Information
This presentation contains statements which constitute “forward‐looking information” within the meaning of applicable securities laws, including statements regarding the plans, 
intentions, beliefs and current expectations of Kirkland Lake Gold with respect to future business activities and operating performance. Forward‐looking information is often identified by 
the words “may”, “would”, “could”, “should”, “will”, “intend”, “plan”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “estimate”, “expect” or similar expressions and include information regarding: (i) the 
amount of future production over any period; (ii) assumptions relating to revenues, operating cash flow and other revenue metrics set out in the Company's disclosure materials; and (iii) 
future exploration plans (iv) the temporary suspension of operations at the Cosmo Mine and the anticipated effects thereof .
Investors are cautioned that forward‐looking information is not based on historical facts but instead reflect KL Gold’s management’s expectations, estimates or projections concerning 
future results or events based on the opinions, assumptions and estimates of management considered reasonable at the date the statements are made. Although Kirkland Lake Gold 
believes that the expectations reflected in such forward‐looking information are reasonable, such information involves risks and uncertainties, and undue reliance should not be placed 
on such information, as unknown or unpredictable factors could have material adverse effects on future results, performance or achievements of the combined company. Among the key 
factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in the forward‐looking information are the following: the ability of Kirkland Lake Gold to successfully 
integrate the operations and employees of its Canadian and Australian operations,  and realize synergies and cost savings, and to the extent, anticipated; the potential impact on 
exploration activities; the potential impact on relationships, including with regulatory bodies, employees, suppliers, customers and competitors; the re‐rating potential following the 
consummation of the merger; changes in general economic, business and political conditions, including changes in the financial markets; changes in applicable laws; and compliance 
with extensive government regulation. This forward‐looking information may be affected by risks and uncertainties in the business of Kirkland Lake Gold and market conditions. This 
information is qualified in its entirety by cautionary statements and risk factor disclosure contained in filings made by Kirkland Lake Gold , including Kirkland Lake Gold’s annual 
information form, financial statements and related MD&A for the year ended December 31, 2017 and their interim financial reports and related MD&A for the quarters  ended March 31, 
June 30 and September 30, 2017 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 information prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially 
from those described herein as intended, planned, anticipated, believed, estimated or expected. Although Kirkland Lake Gold 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. Kirkland Lake Gold does not intend, 
and do not assume any obligation, to update this forward‐looking information except as otherwise required by applicable law.

Cautionary Note to U.S. Investors ‐ Mineral Reserve and Resource Estimates
All resource and reserve estimates included in this news release or documents referenced in this news release have been prepared in accordance with Canadian National Instrument 43‐101 ‐ Standards of 
Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43‐101") and the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (the "CIM") ‐ CIM Definition Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves, adopted by 
the CIM Council, as amended (the "CIM Standards"). NI 43‐101 is a rule developed by the Canadian Securities Administrators, which established standards for all public disclosure an issuer makes of scientific 
and technical information concerning mineral projects. The terms "mineral reserve", "proven mineral reserve" and "probable mineral reserve" are Canadian mining terms as defined in accordance with NI 
43‐101 and the CIM Standards. These definitions differ materially from the definitions in SEC Industry Guide 7 ("SEC Industry Guide 7") under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the 
Exchange Act. 
In addition, the terms "mineral resource", "measured mineral resource", "indicated mineral resource" and "inferred mineral resource" are defined in and required to be disclosed by NI 43‐101 and the CIM
Standards; however, these terms are not defined terms under SEC Industry Guide 7 and are normally not permitted to be used in reports and registration statements filed with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of mineral deposits in these categories will ever be converted into reserves. "Inferred mineral resources" have a
great amount of uncertainty as to their existence, and great uncertainty as to their economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource will ever be
upgraded to a higher category. Under Canadian rules, estimates of inferred mineral resources may not form the basis of feasibility or pre‐feasibility studies, except in very limited circumstances. Investors are
cautioned not to assume that all or any part of a mineral resource exists, will ever be converted into a mineral reserve or is or will ever be economically or legally mineable or recovered.
