About the Company
Kirkland Lake Gold Inc.'s corporate goal is to create a self-sustaining and long-lived intermediate gold mining
company based in the historic Kirkland Lake gold camp, as well as to explore opportunities for growth in other
safe mining jurisdictions. The Company plans to do this by mining to the reserve grade, generating profits and
free cash flow with a view to maximising value for the shareholders. The Company will also look to take
advantage of its increased infrastructure capacity in the appropriate gold price environment. At the same time,
the Company is committed to maintaining a significant exploration program aimed at developing and maintaining a
property wide reserve and resource base sufficient to sustain a mine life of more than ten years.
Over the last several years the Company has invested significant capital to improve the infrastructure of the
business including upgrading the production hoist, skips, mill, underground mobile equipment and capital
development. From initial discovery to present day there have been over 24 million ounces of gold mined from
the Kirkland Lake gold camp while the current reserve and resource provides for potentially 10 years of mining
with significant exploration upside.
