"predict", “propose”, "potential", "targeting", "intend", "could", "might", "should", "believe" and similar expressions. Forward-looking information in this presentation includes, but is not limited to,
information concerning the proposed business combination (the “Business Combination”) between Tahoe Resources Inc. (“Tahoe”) and Lake Shore Gold Corp. (“Lake Shore”) and the business,
operations and financial performance and condition of the combined company; timing and anticipated receipt of required regulatory, court and shareholder approvals for the Business
Combination; synergies and the financial impact of the Business Combination; potential benefits of the Business Combination and the development potential of the properties of Tahoe and Lake
Shore; expected completion and implementation of the Business Combination; the nature of Tahoe’s operations and Tahoe’s business outlook following completion of the Business Combination;
plans and objectives of management for future operations; timing and amount of future production; future cash costs of production, capital and operating and exploration expenditures; cash flow
estimates; estimation of mineral resources and mineral reserves; development of deposits (including expansion of mineralization), mineral resources and mineral reserves; treatment under
regulatory regimes; ability to realize value from Lake Shore’s core assets; work plans and exploration programs to be conducted on Lake Shore’s 144 Gap Zone,; development by Tahoe of the
Shahuindo mine and expansion of the Escobal mine; plans to increase production; plans to ramp-up production on the Shahuindo Project; optimizing operating performance and costs; and
composition of the management and board of the combined company. Total cash cost and all-in sustaining cost per gold or silver oz produced net of by-product credits (“AISC”) projections
include a number of forward-looking assumptions including implementation of a new royalty law, lower current prices of by-product metals, estimated timing of power supply, budgeted cost of
consumables including diesel fuel and cement and effectiveness and timing of cost saving initiatives.
Forward-looking information is based on management’s reasonable estimates, expectations, analyses and opinions at the date the information is provided, and is based on a number of
assumptions and subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual events or results to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking
information. Assumptions upon which such forward-looking information are based include, without limitation, that shareholders of Tahoe and Lake Shore and the Court will approve the Business
Combination; that all required third party regulatory and governmental approvals to the Business Combination will be obtained and all other conditions to completion of the Business Combination
will be satisfied or waived; the Business Combination will be completed; no significant event occurring outside the ordinary course of business of Tahoe or Lake Shore; legislative and regulatory
environment; Tahoe’s ability to continue paying municipal royalties in light of new royalty legislation; impact of increasing competition; current technological trends; price of silver, gold and other
metals; costs of development and production; anticipated results of exploration and development activities; Tahoe’s ability to operate in a safe and effective manner; and Tahoe’s ability to obtain
financing on reasonable terms. In respect of the forward-looking statements and information concerning the anticipated completion of the proposed Transaction and the anticipated timing for
completion of the Business Combination, Tahoe and Lake Shore have provided them in reliance on certain assumptions that they believe are reasonable at this time, including assumptions as to
the time required to prepare and mail shareholder meeting materials, including the required management information circular; the ability of the parties to receive, in a timely manner, the
necessary regulatory, court, shareholder and other third party approvals; and the ability of the parties to satisfy, in a timely manner, the other conditions to the closing of the Business
Combination. These dates may change for a number of reasons, including unforeseen delays in preparing meeting materials, inability to secure necessary shareholder, regulatory, court or other
third party approvals in the time assumed or the need for additional time to satisfy the other conditions to the completion of the Business Combination. Accordingly, readers should not place
undue reliance on the forward-looking statements and information contained in this news release concerning these times. Readers are cautioned that the foregoing list is not exhaustive.
Tahoe’s actual results, programs and financial position could differ materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking statements as a result of numerous factors, risks and uncertainties,
many of which are beyond the Tahoe’s and Lake Shore’s control. These include, but are not necessarily limited to, legislative changes that impact mining operations in which Tahoe and Lake
Shore conduct business; results of exploration activities and development of mineral properties; interpretation of drilling results and other geological data; uncertainties of mineral resource and
mineral reserve estimations; receipt and security of mineral property titles; changes in project parameters; possible variations of ore grade or recovery rates; failure of plant, equipment or
processes to operate as anticipated; accidents; labour disputes; the inability to obtain key personnel and parts related to operations; receipt of licenses to conduct mining activities; country risks;
civil unrest; timing and possible outcome of pending litigation; liabilities and risks, including environmental liabilities and risks, inherent in the development and production of the companies’
projects; cost overruns or unanticipated costs and expenses; the availability of funds; fluctuations in metal prices; currency fluctuations; general market and industry conditions; competition; the
business of the companies not being integrated successfully or such integration proving more difficult, time consuming or costly than expected; and delays in obtaining shareholder,
governmental and regulatory approvals. There is no assurance that forward-looking information will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those
anticipated in such information. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on this information. Tahoe and Lake Shore do not undertake to update any forward-looking information,
except as, and to the extent required by, applicable securities laws. Additional information on other risks and factors that could affect the operations or financial results of Tahoe and Lake Shore
