FORWARD-LOOKINGINFORMATION

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Information

The information in this presentation has been prepared as at March 3, 2019. This presentation contains “forward looking statements” and "forward-looking information" within the meaning of applicable securities laws, including statements regarding the plans, intentions, beliefs and current expectations of Kirkland Lake Gold with respect to future business activities and operating performance. Forward-looking information is often identified by the words "may", "would", "could", "should", "will", "intend", "plan", "anticipate", "believe", "estimate", "expect" or similar expressions and include information regarding: (i) the amount of future production over any period; (ii) assumptions relating to revenues, operating cash flow and other revenue metrics set out in the Company's disclosure materials; and (iii) future exploration plans.

Investors are cautioned that forward-looking information is not based on historical facts but instead reflect Kirkland Lake Gold's management's expectations, estimates or projections concerning future results or events based on the opinions, assumptions and estimates of management considered reasonable at the date the statements are made. Although Kirkland Lake Gold believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking information are reasonable, such information involves risks and uncertainties, and undue reliance should not be placed on such information, as unknown or unpredictable factors could have material adverse effects on future results, performance or achievements of the combined company. Among the key factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking information are the following: the future development and growth potential of the Canadian and Australian operations; the future exploration activities planned at the Canadian and Australian operations and anticipated effects thereof; changes in general economic, business and political conditions, including changes in the financial markets; changes in applicable laws; and compliance with extensive government regulation. Exploration results that include geophysics, sampling, and drill results on wide spacings may not be indicative of the occurrence of a mineral deposit. Such results do not provide assurance that further work will establish sufficient grade, continuity, metallurgical characteristics and economic potential to be classed as a category of mineral resource. A mineral resource that is classified as "inferred" or "indicated" has a great amount of uncertainty as to its existence and economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that any or part of an "indicated mineral resource" or "inferred mineral resource" will ever be upgraded to a higher category of resource. Investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of mineral deposits in these categories will ever be converted into proven and probable reserves. This forward-looking information may be affected by risks and uncertainties in the business of Kirkland Lake Gold and market conditions. This information is qualified in its entirety by cautionary statements and risk factor disclosure contained in filings made by Kirkland Lake Gold, including its annual information form, financial statements and related MD&A for the financial year ended December 31, 2018, which are 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 information prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described herein as intended, planned, anticipated, believed, estimated or expected. Although Kirkland Lake Gold 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. Kirkland Lake Gold does not intend, and do not assume any obligation, to update this forward-looking information except as otherwise required by applicable law.

All dollar amounts in this presentation are expressed in U.S. dollars except as otherwise noted. For further details of Kirkland Lake Gold’s Q4 2018 production results, please see the Company’s press releases dated January 8, 2019 and February 21, 2019. For further information on the Company’s three-year production guidance, including the assumptions and qualifications made, please see the Company’s press releases dated December 11, 2018 and February 21, 2019.

Use of Non-IFRS Measures

This Presentation refers to average realized price, operating costs, operating costs per ounce sold, all-in sustaining cost (“AISC”) per ounce of gold sold, free cash flow, sustaining capital expenditures and growth capital expenditure because certain readers may use this information to assess the Company’s performance and also to determine the Company’s ability to generate cash flow and meet its expenditure requirements. This data is furnished to provide additional information and are non-IFRS measures and do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). These measures should not be considered in isolation as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS and are not necessarily indicative of operating costs presented under IFRS. Refer to each Company’s most recent MD&A for a reconciliation of these measures. The most comparable IFRS Measure for operating cash costs, operating cash costs per ounce sold and AISC per ounce sold is production costs as presented in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income, while total additions and construction in progress are the most comparable measures for sustaining and growth capital expenditures. Operating cash costs, operating cash cost per ounce sold and All-in sustaining costs (“AISC”) per ounce sold in the Company’s 2018 guidance reflect an average US$ to C$ exchange rate of 1.29 and a US$ to A$ exchange rate of 1.34 (as at October 30, 2018). Operating cash costs, operating cash cost per ounce sold and AISC per ounce sold for YTD 2018 reflect an average US$ to C$ exchange rate of 1.2875 and a US$ to A$ exchange rate of 1.3194. Operating cash costs, operating cash costs per ounce and AISC per ounce sold for 2017 reflect an average USD to CAD exchange rate of 1.2965 and a USD to AUD exchange rate of 1.3041. See Kirkland Lake Gold News release dated Feb. 21, 2018 and the Company’s MD&A for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2018.

FOOTNOTES TO MINERAL RESERVES AND MINERAL RESOURCES


36

Footnotes related to Mineral Reserve Estimates (dated December 31, 2018)

(1) CIM definitions (2014) were followed in the calculation of Mineral Reserves.

(2) Mineral Reserves were estimated using a long-term gold price of US$1,230/oz (C$1,635/oz; A$1,710/oz).

(3) Cut-off grades for Canadian Assets were calculated for each stope, including the costs of: mining, milling, General and

Administration, royalties and capital expenditures and other modifying factors (e.g. dilution, mining extraction, mill recovery).

(4) Cut-off grades for Australian Assets from 0.4 g/t Au to 3.0 g/t Au, depending upon width, mining method and ground

conditions; dilution and mining recovery factors varied by property.

(5) Mineral Reserves estimates for the Canadian Assets were prepared under the supervision of Pierre Rocque, P. Eng.

(6) Mineral Reserves estimates for the Fosterville property were prepared under the supervision of Ion Hann, FAusIMM.

(7) Mineral Reserves estimates for the Northern Territory property were prepared under the supervision of Pierre Rocque, P.Eng.

(8) Mineral Reserves for Fosterville relate to Underground Mineral Reserves and do not include 649,000 tonnes at an average of

7.7 g/t for 160,000 ounces of Carbon-In-Leach Residues - 25% recovery is expected based on operating performances.

(9) Totals may not add exactly due to rounding.

Footnotes related to Mineral Resource Estimates for Canadian Assets (dated December 31, 2018)

(1) CIM definitions (2014) were followed in the calculation of Mineral Resource.

(2) Mineral Resources are reported Exclusive of Mineral Reserves. Mineral Resources were calculated according to KL Gold’s Mineral

Resource Estimation guidelines.

(3) Mineral Resource estimates were prepared under the supervision of Eric Kallio, P. Geo. Senior Vice President, Exploration.

(4) Mineral Resources are estimated using a long-term gold price of US$1,230/oz (C$1,635/oz).

(5) Mineral Resources were estimated using a 8.6 g/t cut-off grade for Macassa, a 2.9 g/t cut-off grade for Holt, and a 2.6 g/t cut-off

grade for Taylor, a 3.9 g/t cut-off grade (Holloway), a 2.5 g/t cut-off grade for Canamax, Card, Runway and Ludgate, a 2.2 g/t cut-

off grade for Hislop and 0 g/t cut-off grade for Aquarius.

(6) Totals may not add up due to rounding.

Footnotes related to Mineral Resource Estimates for Australian Assets (dated December 31, 2018)

(2) Mineral Resources are estimated using a long-term gold price of US$1,230/oz (A$1,710/oz)

(3) Mineral Resources for the Australian assets are reported exclusive of Mineral Reserves.

(4) Mineral Resources at Fosterville were estimated using cut-off grades 0.7 g/t Au for oxide and 1.0 g/t Au for sulfide

mineralization to potentially open-pitable depths of approximately 100m, below which a cut-off grade of 3.0 g/t Au was used.

(5) Mineral Resources in the Northern Territory were estimated using a cut-off grade of 0.5 g/t Au for potentially open pit

mineralization and cut-offs of 1.0 to 2.0g/t Au for underground mineralization.

(6) Mineral Resource estimates for the Fosterville property were prepared under the supervision of Troy Fuller, MAIG.

(7) Mineral Resource estimates for the Northern Territory properties were prepared under the supervision of Owen Greenberger,

MAIG.

MINERAL RESERVES AND MINERAL RESOURCES


Cautionary Note to U.S. Investors - Mineral Reserve and Resource Estimates

All resource and reserve estimates included in this news release or documents referenced in this news release have been prepared inaccordance with Canadian National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101") and the Canadian Instituteof Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (the "CIM") - CIM Definition Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves, adopted by the CIMCouncil, as amended (the "CIM Standards"). NI 43-101 is a rule developed by the Canadian Securities Administrators, which establishedstandards for all public disclosure an issuer makes of scientific and technical information concerning mineral projects. The terms "mineralreserve", "proven mineral reserve" and "probable mineral reserve" are Canadian mining terms as defined in accordance with NI 43-101 and theCIM Standards. These definitions differ materially from the definitions in SEC Industry Guide 7 ("SEC Industry Guide 7") under the United StatesSecurities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Exchange Act.

In addition, the terms "Mineral Resource", "measured Mineral Resource", "indicated Mineral Resource" and "Inferred Mineral Resource" aredefined in and required to be disclosed by NI 43-101 and the CIM Standards; however, these terms are not defined terms under SEC IndustryGuide 7 and are normally not permitted to be used in reports and registration statements filed with the U.S. Securities and ExchangeCommission (the "SEC"). Investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of mineral deposits in these categories will ever beconverted into reserves. "Inferred Mineral Resources" have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence, and great uncertainty as totheir economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of an Inferred Mineral Resource will ever be upgraded to a highercategory. Under Canadian rules, estimates of Inferred Mineral Resources may not form the basis of feasibility or pre-feasibility studies, exceptin very limited circumstances. Investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of a Mineral Resource exists, will ever be convertedinto a Mineral Reserve or is or will ever be economically or legally mineable or recovered.
