Kirkland Lake Gold Purchases Second 0.5% NSR Royalty on the HM Claim 
 
TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - May 26, 2015) - Kirkland Lake Gold Inc. (TSX:KGI)(AIM:KGI) ("Kirkland Lake 
Gold" or the "Company"), an operating and exploration gold mining company, announces the exercise of its right 
to buy-out a 0.5% net smelter return ("NSR") royalty (the "Royalty"), for $250,000, on the HM claim. 
 
The Royalty is part of a larger 1% NSR royalty which was held by two private parties (of which 0.5% was 
purchased in April for $250,000, see press release dated April 8, 2015). The HM claim was part of the Queenston 
Mining Joint Venture, located approximately 2,000 feet (610 metres) southeast of the #2 shaft at the Macassa 
Mine Complex. 
 
Mr. George Ogilvie, President & Chief Executive Officer commented, "We are pleased to be able to purchase this 
second 0.5% NSR royalty on the HM Claim. It is our belief that these royalty purchases are prudent at this time 
and that going forward, significant additional value has been created for our shareholders." 
 
About the Company 
 
Kirkland Lake Gold Inc.'s corporate goal is to create a self-sustaining and long-lived intermediate gold mining 
company based in the historic Kirkland Lake gold camp, as well as to explore opportunities for growth in other 
safe mining jurisdictions. The Company plans to do this by mining to the reserve grade, generating profits and 
free cash flow with a view to maximising value 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 gold 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
