Forward-Looking Statements

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.

Statements made in the Company’s handouts and as part of the corporate presentation contain statements which

constitute ”forward-looking statements”, including statements regarding the plans, intentions, beliefs and current

expectations of the Company with respect to the future business activities and operating performance of the Company. The

words “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

guidance metrics for 2016 including, gold production, head grade, cash operating costs, AISC, and capital

expenditures; the exploration programs and associated budgets with respect to the Kirkland Lake Camp and East

Timmins Assets and the results and timing thereof, the medium to long-term strategy and potential of the

Company to continue to grow by way of organic growth and/or through various strategic transactions, including

mergers and acquisitions; increased throughput at the Holt and Taylor mines, and Company’s ability to further

reduce costs through various efficiency projects across the operations and the timing thereof.

With respect to the forward-looking information of Kirkland Lake Gold, concerning gold resources and reserves of the Kirkland Lake properties and

the East Timmins properties, the development of such properties are subject to various key assumptions described in the Annual Information Forms

and Technical Reports of both Kirkland Lake Gold and St Andrew Goldfields Ltd. referred to herein and as filed on the SEDAR profiles of both

companies at www.sedar.com and on the Company’s website at www.klgold.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 for the interim period ended June 30, 2016, and Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2015 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 statements prove

incorrect, 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.
