QUALITY CONTROLLake 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
l i ti f 1 bl k 1 tifi d t d d d 1 j t d li t i t d i t f 20 d ill l Th bl k d thsamples consisting of 1 blank, 1 certified standard and 1 reject duplicate are inserted into groups of 20 drill core samples. The blanks and thecertified standards are checked to be within acceptable limits prior to being accepted into the GEMS SQL database. Routine assays have beencompleted using a standard fire assay with a 30-gram aliquot. For samples that return a value greater than three grams per tonne gold onexploration projects and greater than 10 gpt at the Timmins mine and Thunder Creek underground project, the remaining pulp is taken and fireassayed with a gravimetric finish. Select zones with visible gold are typically tested by pulp metallic analysis on some projects. NQ size drill coreis 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 istransported in security-sealed bags for preparation at ALS Chemex Prep Lab located in Timmins Ontario and the pulps shipped to ALS Chemextransported in security sealed bags for preparation at ALS Chemex Prep Lab located in Timmins, Ontario, and the pulps shipped to ALS ChemexAssay Laboratory in Vancouver, B.C. ALS Chemex is an ISO 9001-2000 registered laboratory preparing for ISO 17025 certification.

Lake Shore Gold – Achieving Growth
Rapidly Growing Production, Resources – with more to come
Production to double in 2011o Total gold poured of 60,014 ounces in 9M/11, targeting at least 85,000 on 2011*o Production growth to continue through advancement of five deposits
hCash costs to improveo $96/tonne or US$845/oz in 9M/11 o Working to return to Q1/11 levels of $92/tonne and US$586/ounce*
Resources already doubled in 2011, more growth to follow*o Total resource now totals 6.3 million ounceso To increase further through updated NI 43‐101 estimates in Q1/12*o To increase further through updated NI 43 101 estimates in Q1/12
Exploration upside at multiple properties – more growth to come o Deep hole discovers potential 1.9km extension at Timmins Mine o Company built on exploration success (“with Drill Bit”) and, increasingly, on cash flow
