2. Forward Looking Statements
Certain statements in this presentation relating to the Company's expected production levels, production growth, exploration activities,
potential for increasing resources project expenditures and business plans are "forward looking statements" or "forward looking
resources, forward-looking statements forward-looking
information" within the meaning of certain securities laws, including under the provisions of Canadian provincial securities laws and under the
United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and are referred to herein as "forward-looking statements." The Company does not

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 contractors will complete
, , p g , p
projects according to schedule, and that actual mineralization on properties will be consistent with models and 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, delays in development or mining and fluctuations in the price of gold or in
currency markets could prevent the Company from achieving its targets. Readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking
statements. M

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
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 Chemex
Assay Laboratory in Vancouver B C ALS Chemex is an ISO 9001 2000 registered laboratory preparing for ISO 17025 certification
Vancouver, B.C. 9001-2000 certification.
QUALIFIED PERSON
The Company’s Qualified Persons (“QPs”) (as defined in National Instrument 43-101, “Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects”) for diamond
drilling projects at the Timmins deposit surface; Thunder Creek, Gold River Trend and 144 properties; Bell Creek Mine; and Casa Berardi
optioned property are Jacques Samson, P.Geo., Stephen Conquer, P.Geo, and Keith Green, respectively. Dean Crick, P.Geo. is the QP for the
Timmins deposit and Thunder Creek underground drilling projects, and Bob Kusins, P.Geo., is the QP for resource estimation at all of the
Company’s properties. As QPs, Messrs. Samson, Conquer, Green, Crick and Kusins have prepared or supervised the preparation of the
scientific or technical information for their respective properties as provided in this presentation. Messrs., Samson, Conquer, Kusins, Crick and

9. Timmins West Mine – PEA (Feb. 28, 2012)
PEA Disclaimer:
The Timmins West Mine PEA is preliminary in nature. It includes inferred mineral
resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic
considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral
reserves, and there is no certainty that the preliminary economic assessment will be
9 realized.
