Lake Shore Gold held its annual general and special meeting on May 4, 2011 in Toronto, Ontario. The presentation discussed Lake Shore Gold's strategy of building shareholder value through operating, development and exploration performance, growth in resources and reserves, growth in production and cash flow, and ongoing extensions, new discoveries, and acquisitions. It also highlighted the company's strong financial position with $108 million in cash and no long-term debt. Lake Shore Gold is focused on rapidly growing its resource base and production at its Timmins Mine, Thunder Creek, Bell Creek, and other properties in Ontario.

Certain t t
C t i statements i thi presentation relating t L k Sh
t in this t ti l ti to Lake Shore G ld’ exploration activities, project expenditures and b i
Gold’s l ti ti iti j t dit d business plans are "f
l "forward-
d
looking statements" within the meaning of securities legislation. The Company does not intend, and does not assume any obligation, to update
these forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements represent management’s best judgment based on current facts and
assumptions that management considers reasonable, including that operating and capital plans will not be disrupted by issues such as
mechanical failure, unavailability of parts, labour disturbances, interruption in transportation or utilities, or adverse weather conditions, that there
are no material unanticipated variations in budgeted costs, that the Company and contractors will complete projects according to schedule, and
that actual mineralization on properties will not be less than identified mineral reserves. The Company makes no representation that
reasonable business people in possession of the same information would reach the same conclusions. Forward-looking statements involve
known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to
be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. In
particular, fluctuations in the price of gold or in currency markets could prevent the companies from achieving their targets. Readers should not
place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. More information about risks and uncertainties affecting the Company and its business is
available in Lake Shore Gold’s most recent annual information form and other regulatory filings which are posted on sedar at www.sedar.com.
There is no guarantee that drill results reported in this presentation will lead to the identification of a deposit that can be mined economically, and
further work is required to identify a reserve or resource.
QUALITY CONTROL
Lake Shore Gold has a quality control program to ensure best practices in the sampling and analysis of drill core. A total of three Quality Control
samples consisting of 1 blank, 1 certified standard and 1 reject duplicate are inserted into groups of 20 drill core samples. The blanks and the
p g , j p g p p
certified standards are checked to be within acceptable limits prior to being accepted into the GEMS SQL database. Routine assays have been
completed using a standard fire assay with a 30-gram aliquot. For samples that return a value greater than three grams per tonne gold on
exploration projects and greater than 10 gpt at the Timmins mine and Thunder Creek underground project, the remaining pulp is taken and fire
assayed with a gravimetric finish. Select zones with visible gold are typically tested by pulp metallic analysis on some projects. NQ size drill core
is 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 is
transported in security-sealed bags for preparation at ALS Chemex Prep Lab located in Timmins, Ontario, and the pulps shipped to ALS
