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

Notes:

1. The basis of the Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserve estimate is from Escobal Mine Guatemala NI 43-101 Feasibility Study,

November 5, 2014, prepared by M3 Engineering & Technology Corporation. Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves at January 1,

2016 calculated by subtracting mine depletion volumes from the Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves stated in the

aforementioned technical report.

2. Mineral Resources are reported using a silver-equivalent cut-off grade of 130 g/t silver. The Escobal Mine Guatemala NI 43-101

Feasibility Study, November 5, 2014, prepared by M3 Engineering & Technology Corporation reported Mineral Resources using metal

prices of $22/oz silver, $1,325/oz gold, $1.00/lb lead and $0.95/lb zinc

3. The Escobal Mine Guatemala NI 43-101 Feasibility Study, November 5, 2014, prepared by M3 Engineering & Technology

Corporation reported Mineral Reserves using a cut-off calculated from the net smelter return value minus production costs using

metal prices of $22.50/oz silver, $1,300/oz gold, $0.95/lb lead and $0.90/lb zinc.

4. Mineral Reserves are inclusive of Mineral Resources.

Notes:

1. The basis of the Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserve estimate is from La Arena

Project, Peru Technical Report (NI 43-101), February 27, 2015, prepared by Mining

Plus Peru S.A.C. Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves at January 1, 2016

calculated by subtracting mine depletion volumes from the Mineral Resources and

Mineral Reserves stated in the aforementioned technical report. There has been no

depletion of the sulfide Mineral Resources or Mineral Reserves.

2. Oxide Mineral Resources are reported using a gold cut-off grade of 0.07 g/t within a

$1,400/oz gold pit shell. Oxide Mineral Reserves are reported using a gold cut-off

grade of 0.1 g/t within a pit designed from a $1,200/oz gold pit shell.

3. Sulfide Mineral Resources are reported using a copper cut-off grade of 0.12% within

a $3.50/lb copper and $1,400/oz gold pit shell. Sulfide Mineral Reserves are

reported using a copper cut-off grade of 0.18% within a pit designed from a $3.00/lb

copper and $1,200/oz gold pit shell.

4. Mineral Reserves are inclusive of Mineral Resources.

Notes:

1. The basis of the Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserve estimate is from Technical

Report on the Shahuindo Mine, Cajabamba, Peru, January 25, 2016, prepared by

Tahoe Resources Inc. and to be filed on SEDAR on January 25, 2016. The effective

date of the Shahuindo Mineral Resource estimate is April 15, 2015. The effective

date of the Shahuindo Mineral Reserve estimate is November 1, 2015.

2. Oxide Mineral Resources are reported using a gold equivalent cut-off grade of 0.14

g/t within a $1,400/oz gold pit shell. Gold-equivalent value calculated using metal

prices of $1,200/oz gold and $15/oz silver. Oxide Mineral Reserves are reported

using a gold cut-off grade of 0.18 g/t within a pit designed from a $1,200/oz gold pit

shell.

3. Sulfide Mineral Resources are reported using a gold cut-off grade of 0.5 g/t. There

are currently no sulfide Mineral Reserves at Shahuindo.

4. Mineral Reserves are inclusive of Mineral Resources.
