FEBRUARY 22, 2019
FORWARD-LOOKINGINFORMATION
Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Information
The information in this presentation has been prepared as at January 14, 2019. This presentation contains “forward looking statements” and "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.
Investors are cautioned that forward-looking information is not based on historical facts but instead reflect Kirkland Lake 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 future development and growth potential of the Canadian and Australian operations; the future exploration activities planned at the Canadian and Australian operations and anticipated effects thereof; changes in general economic, business and political conditions, including changes in the financial markets; changes in applicable laws; and compliance with extensive government regulation. Exploration results that include geophysics, sampling, and drill results on wide spacings may not be indicative of the occurrence of a mineral deposit. Such results do not provide assurance that further work will establish sufficient grade, continuity, metallurgical characteristics and economic potential to be classed as a category of mineral resource. A mineral resource that is classified as "inferred" or "indicated" has a great amount of uncertainty as to its existence and economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that any or part of an "indicated mineral resource" or "inferred mineral resource" will ever be upgraded to a higher category of resource. Investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of mineral deposits in these categories will ever be converted into proven and probable reserves. 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 its annual information form, financial statements and related MD&A for the financial year ended December 31, 2018, which are 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.
All dollar amounts in this presentation are expressed in U.S. dollars except as otherwise noted. For further details of Kirkland Lake Gold’s Q4 2018 production results, please see the Company’s press release dated January 8, 2019. For further information on the Company’s three-year production guidance, including the assumptions and qualifications made, please see the Company’s press release dated December 11, 2018.
Use of Non-IFRS Measures
This Presentation refers to average realized price, operating costs, operating costs per ounce sold, all-in sustaining cost (“AISC”) per ounce of gold sold, free cash flow, sustaining capital expenditures and growth capital expenditure because certain readers may use this information to assess the Company’s performance and also to determine the Company’s ability to generate cash flow and meet its expenditure requirements. This data is furnished to provide additional information and are non-IFRS measures and do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). These measures should not be considered in isolation as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS and are not necessarily indicative of operating costs presented under IFRS. Refer to each Company’s most recent MD&A for a reconciliation of these measures. The most comparable IFRS Measure for operating cash costs, operating cash costs per ounce sold and AISC per ounce sold is production costs as presented in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income, while total additions and construction in progress are the most comparable measures for sustaining and growth capital expenditures. Operating cash costs, operating cash cost per ounce sold and All-in sustaining costs (“AISC”) per ounce sold in the Company’s 2018 guidance reflect an average US$ to C$ exchange rate of 1.29 and a US$ to A$ exchange rate of 1.34 (as at October 30, 2018). Operating cash costs, operating cash cost per ounce sold and AISC per ounce sold for YTD 2018 reflect an average US$ to C$ exchange rate of 1.2875 and a US$ to A$ exchange rate of 1.3194. Operating cash costs, operating cash costs per ounce and AISC per ounce sold for 2017 reflect an average USD to CAD exchange rate of 1.2965 and a USD to AUD exchange rate of 1.3041.
