Kirkland Lake Gold Infill Drilling Program Confirms Grade and Continuity of the South Mine Complex on the HM
Claim
TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - June 9, 2015) - Kirkland Lake Gold Inc. (TSX:KGI)(AIM:KGI), ("KL Gold" or the
"Company") an operating and exploration gold company provides an update on the underground exploration drilling
program on the South Mine Complex ("SMC") at the Company's Macassa Mine Complex, and in particular on the HM
claim (formerly a part of the Queenston Mining Joint Venture property).
The HM claim, located approximately 2,000 feet (610 metres) southeast of the #2 shaft at the Macassa Mine
Complex, is an area that hosts the easterly strike of the SMC. The drilling program tested inferred resource
blocks within a larger combined indicated and inferred resource area as well as along the fringe areas
targeting the New South Zone ("NSZ") and a parallel Hanging Wall Zone ("HWZ").
Highlights:
/T/
=- NSZ extended 89 feet (27.1 metres) down dip from previous intersections.
-- Drill hole 53-2705 returned 8.05 ounces per ton ("opt") uncut (5.02
opt cut), or 276.0 grams per tonne ("g/t") uncut, (172.1 g/t cut)
over a true width of 6.7 feet (2.0 metres).
-- Drill hole 53-2822 returned 3.96 opt uncut (3.46 opt cut), or 135.8
g/t uncut, (118.6 g/t cut) over a true width of 6.4 feet (2.0m).
=- NSZ extended 105 feet (32.0 metres) up dip and 53 feet (16.2 metres)
east from previous intersections.
-- Drill hole 53-2704 returned 1.83 opt, or 62.7 g/t (no cutting factor
applied), over a true width of 1.3 feet (0.4 metres).
-- Drill hole 53-2659 returned 1.92 opt, or 65.8 g/t (no cutting factor
applied), over a true width of 1.9 feet (0.6 metres).
=- Three new intersections on the HWZ help define the zone over a strike
length of 200 feet (60.1 metres), with a 100 foot (30.5 metres) dip
component.
-- Drill hole 53-2699 returned 3.69 opt uncut (2.17 opt cut), or 126.5
g/t uncut (74.4 g/t cut), over a true width of 7.0 feet (2.1
metres).
-- Drill hole 53-2701 returned 3.04 opt uncut (1.18 opt cut), or 104.2
g/t uncut (40.5 g/t cut), over a true width 15.8 feet (4.8 metres).
-- Drill hole 53-2818 returned 1.67 opt uncut (1.30 opt cut), or 57.2
g/t uncut (44.6 g/t cut), over a true width of 6.0 feet (1.8
metres).
/T/
Notes: Higher grade assays are cut to 7.20 opt (246.9 g/t) and 3.50 opt (120.0 g/t), depending on location
within the zone (see tables below for more information).
Mr. George Ogilvie, Chief Executive Officer of the Company commented, "Since acquiring the properties
associated with the Queenston Joint Venture in August of 2012, we have seen tremendous exploration success,
particularly on the South Claims. In April of this year we reported 49,000 ounces of probable reserves (40,000
tons at an average grade of 1.23 opt or 42.2 g/t). As well, we announced an increase in indicated resources on
the South Claims by 35%, and an increase in inferred resources by 19%, year over year. We are encouraged by
these results and look forward to the possibility of expanding as well as improving our confidence of resources
onto the HM Claim that remains open to the east."
"Since the Company commenced exploration activities, we have focussed on exploration associated with the
Macassa Mine Complex which includes areas near the old Macassa Mine and the South Mine Complex. We now look to
expand our exploration efforts and embark upon a regional program to test the four contiguous properties that
lie to the east, with an initial investment of C$1.5 million, to be carried out during calendar 2015. We
strongly believe in the robust nature of this camp, and our potential to extend our life of mine through
organic growth."
SMC Underground Drilling on the HM Claim
The initial phase of drilling was spaced at an average of 120 foot (36.6 metre) intersections, while the infill
drilling conducted recently has reduced the intersections to an average of 50 to 80 feet (15.2 metres to 24.4
metres) within the existing resource blocks.
Of the ten drill holes testing the NSZ inferred resource areas, and within the existing resource area, nine
holes returned intersections which will make the minimum requirements to calculate an indicated resource (which
is updated annually). Based on the conversion of the inferred resources to an indicated resource level, this
represents a conversion rate of approximately 90%.
Of the five drill holes testing the NSZ inferred resources along the fringe areas of the current resource area,
four returned intersections which will make the minimum requirements to calculate an indicated resource (which
is updated annually). Based on the conversion of the inferred resources to an indicated resource level in these
areas, this represents a conversion rate of approximately 80%, and is expected to expand the dip and strike
components of the current resource blocks.

About the Company
Kirkland Lake Gold's corporate goal is to create a self-sustaining and long-lived intermediate gold mining
company based in the historic Kirkland Lake Gold Camp. The Company plans to do this by mining to the reserve
grade, generating profits and free cash flow for the shareholders. The Company will also look to take advantage
of its increased infrastructure capacity in the appropriate gold price environment. At the same time, the
Company is committed to maintaining a significant exploration program aimed at developing and maintaining a
property wide reserve and resource base sufficient to sustain a mine life of more than ten years.
Over the last several years the Company has invested significant capital to improve the infrastructure of the
business including upgrading the production hoist, skips, mill, underground mobile equipment and capital
development. From initial discovery to present day there have been over 24 million ounces of gold mined from
the Kirkland Lake camp while the current reserve and resource provides for potentially 14 years of mining with
significant exploration upside.
Neither the Toronto Stock Exchange nor the AIM Market of the London Stock Exchange has reviewed or accepts
responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this news release.
Cautionary Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements
This Press Release 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 Press Release include, but may not be limited to, statements regarding
the Company's exploration efforts including underground drilling being conducted at the SMC and the results
thereof. The inclusion of these results into the annual mineral reserve and resource statements and any
possible increase in the Company's level of resources and reserves. 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 include the Company's expectations in connection
with the projects and exploration programs being met, the impact of general business and economic conditions,
global liquidity and credit availability on the timing of cash flows and the values of assets and liabilities
based on projected future conditions, fluctuating gold prices, currency exchange rates (such as the Canadian
dollar versus the United States Dollar), possible variations in ore grade or recovery rates, changes in
accounting policies, changes in the Company's corporate mineral resources, changes in project parameters as
plans continue to be refined, changes in project development, construction, production and commissioning time
frames, risks related to joint venture operations, the possibility of project cost overruns or unanticipated
costs and expenses, higher prices for fuel, power, labour and other consumables contributing to higher costs
and general risks of the mining industry, failure of plant, equipment or processes to operate as anticipated,
unexpected changes in mine life, seasonality and unanticipated weather changes, costs and timing of the
development of new deposits, success of exploration activities, permitting time lines, government regulation of
mining operations, environmental risks, unanticipated reclamation expenses, title disputes or claims, and
limitations on insurance, as well as those risk factors discussed or referred to in the Company's annual
Management's Discussion and Analysis and Annual Information Form for the year ended April 30, 2014, and the
Company's Management's Discussion and Analysis for the interim period ended January 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.
Glossary of Terms
National Instrument 43-101 Definitions of Resources and Reserves
The Reserve and Resource estimation classifications as prescribed in National Instrument 43-101 are given here
for clarity.
Mineral Resource
Mineral Resources are sub-divided into 3 categories depending on the geological confidence. The highest level
with the most confidence is the 'Measured' category. The next level of confidence is the 'Indicated' category
and the lowest level, or the resource with the least confidence, is the 'Inferred' category.
Inferred Mineral Resource
An 'Inferred Mineral Resource' is that part of a Mineral Resource for which quantity and grade or quality can
be estimated on the basis of geological evidence and limited sampling and reasonably assumed, but not verified,
geological and grade continuity. The estimate is based on limited information and sampling, gathered through
appropriate techniques from locations such as outcrops, trenches, pits, workings and drill holes.
Indicated Mineral Resource
An 'Indicated Mineral Resource' is that part of a Mineral Resource for which quantity, grade or quality,
densities, shape and physical characteristics, can be estimated with a level of confidence sufficient to allow
the appropriate application of technical and economic parameters, to support mine planning and evaluation of
the economic viability of the deposit. The estimate is based on detailed and reliable exploration and testing
information gathered through appropriate techniques from locations such as outcrops, trenches, pits, workings
and drill holes that are spaced closely enough for geological and grade continuity to be reasonably assumed.
Measured Mineral Resource
A 'Measured Mineral Resource' is that part of a Mineral resource for which quantity, grade or quality,
densities, shape and physical characteristics are so well established that they can be estimated with
confidence sufficient to allow the appropriate application of technical and economic parameters, to support
production planning and evaluation of the economic viability of the deposit. The estimate is based on detailed
and reliable exploration, sampling and testing information gathered through appropriate techniques from
locations such as outcrops, trenches, pits, workings and drill holes that are spaced closely enough to confirm
both geological and grade continuity.
Mineral Reserve
Mineral Reserves are sub-divided into 2 categories. The highest level of Reserves or the level with the most
confidence is the 'Proven' category and the lower level of confidence of the Reserves is the 'Probable'
category. Reserves are distinguished from resources as all of the technical and economic parameters have been
applied and the estimated grade and tonnage of the resources should closely approximate the actual results of
mining. The guidelines state
"Minerals Reserves are inclusive of the diluting material that will be mined in conjunction with the Mineral
Reserve and delivered to the treatment plant or equivalent facility." The guidelines also state that, "The term
'Mineral Reserve' need not necessarily signify that extraction facilities are in place or operative or that all
government approvals have been received. It does signify that there are reasonable expectations of such
approvals."
Probable Mineral Reserve
A 'Probable Mineral Reserve' is the economically mineable part of an Indicated and in some circumstances a
Measured Mineral Resource demonstrated by a least a Preliminary Feasibility Study. This study must include
adequate information on mining, processing, metallurgical, economic, and other relevant factors that
demonstrate, at the time of reporting, that economic extraction can be justified.
Proven Mineral Reserve
A 'Proven Mineral Reserve' is the economically mineable part of a Measured Mineral Resource demonstrated by at
least a Preliminary Feasibility Study. This study must include adequate information on mining, processing,
metallurgical, economic, and other relevant factors that demonstrate, at the time of reporting, that economic
extraction is justified.
