QUALITY CONTROLLake Shore Gold has a quality control program to ensure best practices in the sampling and analysis of drill core. A total of three Quality Controlsamples consisting of 1 blank, 1 certified standard and 1 reject duplicate are inserted into groups of 20 drill core samples. The blanks and thecertified standards are checked to be within acceptable limits prior to being accepted into the GEMS SQL database. Routine assays have beencompleted using a standard fire assay with a 30-gram aliquot. For samples that return a value greater than three grams per tonne gold onexploration projects and greater than 10 gpt at the Timmins mine and Thunder Creek underground project, the remaining pulp is taken and fireassayed with a gravimetric finish. Select zones with visible gold are typically tested by pulp metallic analysis on some projects. NQ size drill coreis saw cut and half the drill core is sampled in standard intervals. The remaining half of the core is stored in a secure location. The drill core istransported in security-sealed bags for preparation at ALS Chemex Prep Lab located in Timmins, Ontario, and the pulps shipped to ALS ChemexAssay Laboratory in Vancouver B C ALS Chemex is an ISO 9001 2000 registered laboratory preparing for ISO 17025 certificationAssay Laboratory in Vancouver, B.C. ALS Chemex is an ISO 9001-2000 registered laboratory preparing for ISO 17025 certification.
