TSX, NYSE MKT: LSG
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.

Cash Operating Cost 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 Cost per Ounce
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.
Cash Earnings from Mine Operations
Cash earnings from mine operations is a Non-GAAP measure determined by deducting cash operating costs from
revenues recognized in the period. The Company discloses cash earnings from mine operations as it believes this
measure provides valuable assistance to investors and analysts in evaluating the Company’s ability to finance its
ongoing business and capital activities. The most directly comparable measure prepared in accordance with GAAP is
earnings from mine operations.
