Kirkland Lake Gold Reports Successful Drilling To Expand And Confirm Continuity Of The South Mine Complex On The HM Claim

Oct 20, 2015
TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwired) -- 10/20/15 -- Kirkland Lake Gold Inc., (TSX:KGI) ("Kirkland Lake Gold" or the "Company") an operating and exploration gold company provides an update on the underground exploration drilling program on the South Mine Complex ("SMC") at the Company's Macassa Mine Complex, and in particular on the HM claim (formerly a part of the Queenston Mining Joint Venture property).
 
The HM claim, located approximately 610 metres (2,000 feet) southeast of the #2 shaft at the Macassa Mine Complex, is an area that hosts the easterly extension of the SMC. The twelve-hole (4,278 metre or 14,031 feet) drilling program is a continuation of the program detailed in the Company's press release dated June 9th, 2015. This program concentrated on expanding the SMC by testing inferred resource block areas on both the New South Zone ("NSZ") and intersected both new and previously identified hanging wall ("HWZ") and footwall zones ("FWZ") to the NSZ.
 
 
Highlights

• Footwall mineralization intersected 383.3 grams per tonne ("g/t") uncut or 11.18 ounces per ton ("opt") uncut, over a true width of 1.7 metres (5.6 feet)
• Drill hole 53-2886 intersected footwall mineralization at the -5800 foot elevation (1,767 metre) and returned 383.3 g/t uncut (58.3 g/t cut) or 11.18 opt uncut, (1.70 opt cut) over a true width of 1.7 metres (5.6 feet). Combined with previously released drill hole 53-2414 (21.6 g/t or 0.63 opt) over a true width of 0.7 metres (2.3 feet) (see press release dated • March 3, 2014), this represents the furthest east intersections on the HM claim to date.
• NSZ intersections confirm continuity
• Drill hole 53-2881 returned 67.9 g/t (1.98 opt) over a true width of 4.4 metres (14.4 feet), drill hole 53-2882 returned 14.7 g/t (0.43 opt) over a true width of 2.9 metres (9.5 feet) and drill hole 53-2883 returned 16.5 g/t (0.48 opt) over a true width of 2.7 metres (8.8 feet).

Notes: Higher grade assays are cut to 246.9 g/t (7.20 opt) or 120.0 g/t (3.50 opt), depending on the zone (see tables below for more information).
 
Mr. George Ogilvie, Chief Executive Officer of the Company commented, "These additional positive results illustrate the robust nature of the SMC which continues to be expanded further to the east and at depth. Our goal is to test the extensions of the SMC, while conducting infill drilling in order to replace reserves and find new resources. We will have additional results on the area formally known as the South Claims, and look forward to providing another update in the coming weeks."

 
SMC Underground Drilling on the HM Claim
 
6 drill holes tested inferred resource areas on the flanks of NSZ where 4 of these drill holes (or 67%) returned intersections which will meet the requirement to be converted from inferred resources to indicated resources.
 
Previous drilling also identified a waste gap extending over 73.1 metres (240.0 feet) of strike length as indicated by previously released drill hole 53-2290 which returned 9.9 g/t (0.29 opt) over a true width of 1.2 metres (4.1 feet), which did not make the minimum requirements to define a resource (see press release dated September 19, 2013). Recently completed drill hole 53-2820 returned 31.2 g/t (0.91 opt) over a true width of 1.7 metres (5.7 feet) and drill hole 53-2884 returned 116.2 g/t (3.39 opt) over a true width of 0.7 metres (2.4 feet), and have decreased the strike length of the waste gap to 18.3 metres (60.0 feet).
