“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 Presentation include, but may

not be limited to; statements regarding the Company’s production guidance for Stub Year 2015, and the financial years ended 2016, 2017

and 2018; the ability to bring more higher grade stopes online from the 5400 level and access to the 5600 level and below, and the timing

thereof; the exploration programs and the results and timing thereof.

In respect of the forward-looking information concerning the anticipated completion of the proposed Transaction and the anticipated timing thereof,

Kirkland Lake has provided them in reliance on certain assumptions that it believes are reasonable at this time, including assumptions as to the time

required to prepare and mail shareholder meeting materials, including the required 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 Transaction. 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 Transaction. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on

the forward-looking information contained in this news release concerning these times.

Andrew, future cash costs of production, the gold resources and reserves of Kirkland Lake and St Andrew, and the development of the Kirkland

Lake and St Andrew properties are subject to various key assumptions described in each party’s respective Annual Information Forms and

Technical Reports referred to herein and as filed on the SEDAR profiles of both companies at www.sedar.com.

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 are discussed in length in the Company's annual Management's Discussion and Analysis and Annual Information Form for the year ended April 30, 2015.

and the Company’s Management's Discussion and Analysis for the interim period ended July 31, 2015 filed with the securities regulatory authorities in certain

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.

The SMC Continues To Grow

See press releases dated June 9, 2015 and October 20, 2015, as filed on SEDAR

Area’s currently

being mined

Recent drilling has extended and confirmed the continuity of the SMC at depth and further to the

east on the HM Claim.

Will continue to drill from underground to find new mineralization, and in order to move

mineralization from inferred into the measured and indicated categories for future resource and

reserve expansion.

Kirkland Lake Camp

The Kirkland Lake gold

camp has been in production

for over 100 years

One of the highest grade

gold camps in the world

Almost 25 Moz’s has been

produced to date, from

seven mines

KGI owns five former

producing high grade mines

with historical production of

~22 Moz’s of gold

Average head grade of 0.44

opt or 15.1 g/t

Currently only mining and

QP Info and Notes to Reserves & Resources

The reserve and resource estimates have been audited and verified, and the technical disclosure in thie press release dated April 13, 2015, has been

approved, by the Company’s independent reserve and resource engineer, Glenn R. Clark, P. Eng., of Glenn R. Clark & Associates Limited. Mr. Clark

is a ‘qualified person’ under National Instrument 43-101, Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects, of the Canadian Securities Administrators. The

report detailing the December 31, 2014, reserve and resource estimates will be filed on SEDAR (www.sedar.com) within 45 days of this press release.

See ‘Notes for Reserves and Resources’ below for key assumptions, parameters and methods used to estimate the foregoing reserves and

resources.

Notes for Reserves and Resources:

The reserves and resources have been classified according to the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (CIM) Standards on Mineral

Resources and Reserves: Definition and Guidelines (December 2005).

1. The reserves and resources are estimated using the polygonal method.

2. Resources do not include reserves.

3. All intersections are calculated to a 6.0 foot minimum horizontal mining width for structures dipping at greater than 45 degrees. The minimum

mining height for structures dipping less than 45 degrees is 9.0 feet.

4. Dilution is added to reserves at varying rates depending on the mining method, and the width of the ore. The average dilution of the reserves at

December 31, 2014, is 27% at 0.02 opt, marginally up from an average of 24.0% the previous year. Long-hole stopes are diluted by anywhere

between 50-100% (mostly 50%). Cut and fill stopes are diluted by anywhere between 10-50%.

5. All higher grades are cut to 3.50 opt. Based on a statistical analysis completed by Scott Wilson Roscoe Postle Associates Inc. in 2007, the

Company has implemented various higher grade cutting factors for four zones in the South Mine Complex. These four zones are the New South

Zone (7.20 opt), Lower D North (9.30 opt), Lower D North Footwall (4.80 opt), and the #7 and #7 HW Zones (6.40 opt). Cut-off grades of 0.22 opt

and 0.18 opt are used for reserve and resource calculations respectively, depending on the location, and economics of the block. Generally, a cut-

off of 0.22 opt is required on a whole-block basis to achieve profitability and reserve classification. It is possible to have sub-blocks within an ore

reserve block that assay less than any cut-off which have been incorporated for mining or geotechnical reasons. Ore blocks that grade between

0.18 opt and the cut-off of 0.22 opt have been classified as resource. The cut-off grade for near-surface resources (surface to -1,000 foot

elevation) is 0.12 opt. An internal report completed by Roscoe Postle and Associates in October 2014, suggest that the cutting factor for

mineralization on the Amalgamated Trend be set at 2.50 opt. This grade capping was implemented by the Company and incorporated in the

estimates for 2014.

6. The area of influence of the proven and measured categories are 30 feet from development chip samples, probable and indicated categories are

50 feet of radius from a known sample point (drill holes) and inferred is another 50 feet of influence (between 50 – 100 feet).

7. A 94.2% tonnage recovery is used. Continuity of the veins appears very good.

8. The assumptions used include CAD$1,350.00 (US$1,200) per ounce of gold.

9. The Company is not aware of any environmental, permitting, legal, title, taxation, socio-political, marketing or other issue that may materially affect

its estimate of mineral resources.

10. Mineral resources which are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.
