Kirkland Lake Gold Announcement

21.05.2012  |  Marketwired

KIRKLAND LAKE, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 05/21/12 -- Kirkland Lake Gold Inc., ('Kirkland Lake' or the 'Company') (TSX: KGI)(AIM: KGI), an operating and exploration gold mining company located in Ontario, Canada, reports that a seasonal forest fire that started on May 20, 2012 passed nearby the Company's property and mill.


There was no damage to the Company's assets, but a short section of the power line feeding the mill and the three shaft complex was damaged by the fire. The mine was notified of the fire and the impending power interruption by the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources, by Hydro-One, and by the Ontario Provincial Police in a timely manner. Company employees were able to close down and evacuate the mine in an organized and orderly way. A skeleton crew remains on site to keep the site secure, monitor the situation, and assist government and utility efforts as required. The two shaft power system remains on line and the company's emergency power systems are operating. Hydro-One crews have begun the work of assessing and repairing the damaged transmission line. All production activities are halted until power is restored.


Mr. Brian Hinchcliffe, President stated, "the Company wishes to thank the Ministry of Natural Resources, the Ontario Provincial Police, and Hydro-One, and all their local personnel, and all other Provincial and Local Government personnel involved for their tremendous efforts during this emergency situation. On behalf of the Board of Directors, we would also like to thank our employees for their response to and understanding of the current situation. The Company will release more information as it becomes available."
