ISS And Glass Lewis Recommend Tahoe Shareholders Vote For The Proposed Business Combination With Lake Shore Gold Corp.

VANCOUVER, March 17, 2016 -- Tahoe Resources Inc. (TSX: THO, NYSE: TAHO) is pleased to announce that Institutional Shareholder Services ("ISS") and Glass Lewis & Co. ("Glass Lewis"), leading independent proxy advisory firms, have recommended that Tahoe Shareholders vote FOR the resolution to approve the plan of arrangement (the "Arrangement") regarding Tahoe's business combination with Lake Shore Gold Corp. The Arrangement is intended to create a leading Americas-based precious metals producer anchored by the high-grade Escobal mine in Guatemala and low-cost, expanding operations in Peru and Ontario.

ISS summarized its recommendation as follows: "The transaction appears to make strategic sense as it is expected to strengthen THO's ability to generate strong free cash flow on a per share basis... [I]n light of the reasonable strategic rationale behind the transaction, a vote FOR this resolution is warranted."

Glass Lewis said, "Lake Shore and Tahoe are Americas-based precious metals producers that generate positive free cash flow and high cash flow margins from their respective mines in the current commodity price environment. The merger parties anticipate that the proposed combination will result in the formation of an enlarged, low-cost gold and silver producer with significant exploration potential... and a strong balance sheet."

In combination with the recommendations from ISS and Glass Lewis, Tahoe's Board of Directors has recommended that Tahoe Shareholders vote FOR the Arrangement.
