New and again awesome drill resultsKirkland Lake Gold Ltd. has added a new press release to its website: KIRKLAND LAKE ANNOUNCES FURTHER HIGH-GRADE DRILL RESULTS ON THE LOWER PHOENIX AND HARRIER GOLD SYSTEMS AT THE FOSTERVILLE MINE TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwired) -- 05/03/17 -- Kirkland Lake Gold Ltd. ("Kirkland Lake Gold" or the "Company") (TSX:KL)(OTCQX:KLGDF) is pleased to report continued high-grade drill results from underground drilling at Fosterville Mine in Australia. Underground definition drilling continues to infill and target down-plunge extensions of the Lower Phoenix and Harrier South gold systems to increase Mineral Resource confidence and assess the potential of further Mineral Reserve expansion (see Figure 1). Recent drill results returned from 59 underground holes totaling 14,070 meters ("m") into extensions of the Lower Phoenix gold system continue to return some of the highest gold grades seen at Fosterville. Results continue to demonstrate the continuity of exceptional high-grade mineralization with visible gold on both the newly discovered west dipping Lower Phoenix Footwall and Eagle Structures in the Lower Phoenix gold system. Similarly, a drill program consisting of 20 holes, totaling 7,791m in the Harrier South gold system reaffirms the increasing grade tenor of the Harrier Mineral Reserve at depth. Underground Drilling Highlights at Fosterville Mine Lower Phoenix Footwall mineralization continues to demonstrate high-grade continuity with the return of the following infill definition drill intercepts: 381 g/t Au (1) over 2.8m (Estimated True Width "ETW" 2.5m), including 1,062 g/t Au (1) over 1.0m (ETW 0.9m) in hole UDH1982 345 g/t Au (1) over 7.0m (ETW 6.4m), including 4,550 g/t Au (1) over 0.5m (ETW 0.4m) in hole UDH1991 645 g/t Au (1) over 1.3m (ETW 1.1m) in hole UDH1978 Eagle high-grade mineralization continues to demonstrate high-grade continuity with the return of the following infill definition drill intercepts: 404 g/t Au (1) over 16.0m (ETW 7.5m), including 12,039 g/t Au (1) over 0.4m (ETW 0.2m) in hole UDH1970 274 g/t Au (1) over 9.7m (ETW 9.2m), including 498 g/t Au (1) over 1.3m (ETW 1.1m) in hole UDH1946B 399 g/t Au (1) over 3.6m (ETW 1.0m), including 2,036 g/t Au (1) over 0.7m (ETW 0.2m) in hole UDH1865A 69 g/t Au (1) over 30.7m (ETW 29.3m) in hole UDH1946 Drilling on the Harrier Base Structure continues to return high-grade mineralization including: 25.6 g/t Au (1) over 3.85m (ETW 3.7m) in hole UDH1987 10.1 g/t Au over 10.55m (ETW 10.1m) in hole UDH1913 Infill drilling into Harrier Base mineralization continues to demonstrate high-grade continuity (1) Visible gold present in drill intercept, all drill results are presented in Table 1 Mr. Tony Makuch, President and Chief Executive Officer, Kirkland Lake Gold commented: "The Fosterville Mine continues to provide exceptional results from drilling programs on the Lower Phoenix and Harrier South gold systems, with many intercepts returning significantly higher grades than our December 2016 average underground Mineral Reserve of 9.8 g/t Au." "We are excited about the grade upside potential of the Fosterville deposit. Recent infill drilling into the Lower Phoenix Footwall and Harrier Base structures have increased both geological and grade confidence in these zones and has reaffirmed an increasing grade profile with depth. In addition, continued strong drill results combined with positive grade reconciliation of mining the Eagle structure has provided the Company greater insight into the high-grade nature of the ore body. Mining in this area has largely contributed to the recent strong first quarter operating results, producing a record 46,083 ounces of gold, driven by a record run of mine grade of 12.3 g/t Au." "We are optimistic that significant Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserve growth can be realized by both expansion of these mineralized structures through additional drilling and reassessment of existing data sets based on increasing levels of confidence and reconciliation data." 2017 Underground Definition Programs at Fosterville Gold Mine Lower Phoenix Gold System Underground Resource Definition Drilling Program Since the January 17, 2017 Kirkland Lake Gold News Release, drilling from 3 diamond drill rigs have continued to focus on resource definition and understanding of multiple gold targets including the Lower Phoenix Footwall (LPFW) and Eagle Faults. Reported drill results from 59 holes (14,070m) are from intercepts through the Lower Phoenix Footwall and Eagle resource target areas. Mining production continues on the upper-plunge areas of the Lower Phoenix gold system structures including the high-grade Eagle Fault, which has largely contributed to Fosterville's record run of mine grade of 12.3 g/t during Q1 2017. All drill assay intercepts are provided in Table 1 and drill collars in Table 2. Lower Phoenix Footwall Structure Infill drilling into the newly discovered west dipping Lower Phoenix Footwall Structure continues to return extremely high-grade results including of 381 g/t Au(1)over 2.8m (Estimated True Width "ETW" 2.5m), (Including 1,062 g/t Au(1)over 1.0m [ETW 0.9m]) in hole UDH1982, 345 g/t Au(1)over 7.0m (ETW 6.4m), (Including 4,550 g/t Au(1)over 0.5m [ETW 0.4]) in hole UDH1991, and 645 g/t Au(1)over 1.3m (ETW 1.1m) in hole UDH1978 and 187 g/t Au(1)over 4.0m (ETW 3.6m) in hole UDH1946 (see Figure 2). These results strongly support drill results in the January 17, 2017 Kirkland Lake Gold News Release which included the Fosterville Mine record drill intercept of 1,429 g/t Au(1)over 15.15m (Estimated True Width "ETW" 4.97m) in hole UDH1817 (Including21,490 g/t Au(1)over 0.6m [ETW 0.24m]). The repeatability of high-grade results on this structure, at close drill spacing provides increased confidence that there is a coherent, extremely high-grade lode of mineralization. Additional high-grade results have been returned on this structure including 14.7 g/t Au over 11.1m (ETW 9.1m) in hole UDH2023 and 15.2 g/t Au(1)over 10.3m (ETW 7.7m) in hole UDH1992 outside December 2016 Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources. This structure has now been defined over a strike extent of 210m and vertical extent of 180m. The mineralized zone appears to adjoin the high-grade Eagle structure at its lower edge and is untested down-plunge. Continued drilling from the hangingwall drill platforms during 2017 will continue to advance the understanding and scale of this attractive resource growth target. Eagle Structure Recent drilling continues to return significant high-grade gold intercepts containing significant amounts of visible gold. Recent drill results into the Eagle Fault include 404 g/t Au(1)over 16.0m (ETW 7.5m), (Including 12,039 g/t Au(1)over 0.4m [ETW 0.2m]) in hole UDH1970, 274 g/t Au(1)over 9.7m (ETW 9.2m), (Including 498 g/t Au(1)over 1.3m [ETW 1.1m]) in hole UDH1946B and 399 g/t Au(1)over 3.6m (ETW 1.0m), (Including 2,036 g/t Au(1)over 0.7m[ETW 0.2m]) in hole UDH1865A (Figure 3). These results continue to confirm the continuity and high-grade tenor of the Eagle Fault. Q1 run of mine grade of 12.3 g/t Au provides confirmation of the high-grade nature of the Eagle Fault which is particularly endowed with visible gold mineralization at its intersection with the Lower Phoenix and East Dipping Faults. Reconciled production data significantly outperformed grade estimates in this zone during the quarter with two stoping blocks (over 6,500t each) reconciling grades above 40 g/t Au. The Eagle fault remains open down plunge south of 6350mN and drilling during 2017 will continue to focus on extension and infill definition of this highly mineralized structure. Harrier South Gold System Underground Resource Definition Drilling Program Since the January 17, 2017 Kirkland Lake Gold News Release, drilling from 1 diamond rig has continued to focus on resource definition and understanding of multiple gold targets including the Harrier Base Fault in the Harrier South gold system. Reported drill results from 20 holes (7,791.1m) are from intercepts though the Harrier Base resource target area. All drill assay intercepts are provided in Table 1 and drill collars in Table 2. Harrier Base Structure Drilling on the Harrier Base Structure continues to return high-grade mineralization. Key intercepts include 25.6 g/t Au(1)over 3.9m (ETW 3.7m) in hole UDH1987, 15.5 g/t Au(1)over 2.4m (ETW 2.3m), (Including 80.6 g/t Au(1)over 0.3m [ETW 0.3m]) in hole UDH1984, 11.9 g/t Auover 6.8m (ETW 6.8m), (Including 54.1 g/t Auover 0.6m [ETW 0.5m]) in hole UDH1921 and 10.1 g/t Au over 10.6m (ETW 10.1m) in hole UDH1913 (Figure 4). Decline development has recently commenced to access high-grade Harrier Base mineralization, which forms part of the December 2016 Mineral Reserve estimate, with the aim to add an alternative production source to the Lower Phoenix mineralized zone during 2018. Planned drilling for 2017 will test the down plunge extensions of the Harrier Base structure to 4650mN, approximately 100m beyond the current extent of drilling.

observed in drill intercept Drill intercepts greater than 30 Gram-Metres (Estimated true width x gold grade) are shown in bold text Drilling and Assay QAQC Kirkland Lake Gold has in place quality-control systems to ensure best practice in drilling, sampling and analysis of drill core. All diamond drill hole collars (Table 2) are accurately surveyed using a Leica Total Stations instrument and down-hole deviations are measured by electronic multi-shot cameras. Sampling consisted of diamond drill core that was either half core sampled or full core sampled. Half core samples were cut longitudinally in half with a diamond saw; one-half of the drill-core was sent for assay and the other half retained for reference. Whole core samples were sent for assay with the pulp retained for reference. Drill core sample intervals vary between 0.3 and 1.2m in length and were determined from logging of sulphide and visible gold. Samples containing visible gold or considered likely to contain visible gold were separated from sulphide gold samples and dispatched independently for assaying. At the laboratory "visible gold" jobs were processed through a single pulverizer and material barren of gold was crushed before and after each sample to minimize the potential for gold to contaminate successive samples. Assay results are based on 25-gram charge fire assays. Mean grades are calculated using a variable lower grade cut-off (generally 2 g/t Au) and maximum 2m internal dilution. No upper gold grade cut is applied to the data. However, during future resource work the requirement for assay top cutting will be assessed. Drill samples were assayed at On Site Laboratories, an independent laboratory in Bendigo, Victoria. The facility is registered ISO 9001:2008 (CERT-C33510).
