Lake Shore Gold to Reduce Carrying Value of Assets

25.02.2013  |  Marketwired

TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 02/25/13 -- Lake Shore Gold Corp. ("Lake Shore Gold" or the "Company") (TSX: LSG)(NYSE MKT: LSG)(NYSE Amex: LSG) announced today that, based on progress with the Company's annual impairment assessment as required under International Financial Reporting Standards, it expects to reduce the carrying value of its Timmins and Mexican assets as part of its fourth quarter and year-end 2012 results. The extent of the non-cash accounting charge is not known at this time and will be based on the estimated recoverable value of the assets in the current market environment, which is valuing mining and exploration assets at lower multiples than in recent years.


Tony Makuch, President and CEO of Lake Shore Gold, commented: "Reducing the carrying value of our assets represents a non-cash accounting adjustment that largely reflects changes in market conditions and the difference between our book value and current market capitalization. Our focus is on increasing our market capitalization through a higher share price. Our strategy to increase near-term value includes achieving at least 40% growth in production in 2013, to between 120,000 ounces and 135,000 ounces of gold, improving cash operating costs, reducing capital spending and, by the second half of this year, beginning to generate positive free cash flow."
