Chris Stewart, Vice President of Operations at Kirkland Lake Gold Inc., commented, "We recently announced achieving one million man hours without a lost time injury, and are now announcing one million ounces of production at the complex. I'd like to commend our entire team for digging deep and allowing us to reach this milestone, and doing so in a safe and responsible manner."

Harry Dobson, founder and former Chairman of Kirkland Lake Gold Inc., commented, "It is very fulfilling to see the progress that Kirkland Lake has made over the past thirteen years. As an entrepreneur you start with a dream and a vision, and work as hard as you can to make them a reality. I am very proud of everyone that has contributed to the success of the company and I continue to support management and the entire team at Kirkland Lake in their efforts for continued growth prospects."
