NEW SOUTH BREAK RESULT INTERSECTS 0.62 OZ/TON OVER 10.0 FEET AND ALIGNS PREVIOUS RESULTS IN A 70º DIP.

Kirkland Lake Gold Inc. (the “Company”) is pleased to announce additional drilling results from the program targeting parallel breaks to the south of the 04 and Main Break ore horizons. The latest drill hole, 47-1023 has intersected mineralization 1,431.0 feet south of this Main Break Horizon from the 4700 level and assayed 0.62 ounces per ton of gold over 10.0 feet (unknown true width (“TW”)). A second drill hole, 47-1021 assayed 0.44 ounces per ton of gold over 3.0 feet (unknown true width).

The new intersection in drill hole 47-1023 is 85 feet above drill hole 47-1022A which assayed (as released March 29, 2004) 0.72 ounces per ton of gold over 21.5 feet (unknown true width). The intersection in drill hole 47-1021 is located 30 feet above drill hole 47-1023. (see figure 1)(see figure 2).

In the results from Hole 47-1022A visible gold was observed for the first time in the core of any of the holes drilled in the South Porphyry Zone, which is characterized by silicified tuff and porphyry mineralized with pyrite. Also of importance in the mineralogy of Kirkland Lake Camp was the presence of a strong molybdenitic break in drill hole 47-1023.  

“Significantly, 47 - 1023 results with its strong structure, helps us see that this Zone now appears to have a steep southerly dip at approximately 70 degrees which is consistent with the other major breaks in the Kirkland Lake Camp such as the 04 and the Main Break,” said Stewart Carmichael, Chief Exploration Geologist. “These drill holes add yet another piece to the puzzle”

The following table summarizes the new drill results:

DRILL HOLE No.	VEIN	FROM (feet)	TO (feet)	HOLE DIP (degrees)	AZIMUTH (degrees)	ASSAY (oz. per ton/feet)
47-1023	SOUTH PORPHYRY	1,431.0	1,441.0	-11	127	0.62/10.0’ = UNKNOWN TW
	INCLUDING	1,433.5	1,435.0	-11	127	1.97/1.5’=UNKNOWN TW, VG, TELL
47-1021	SOUTH PORPHYRY	1,439.5	1,445.0	-9	133	0.44/3.0’=UNKNOWN TW

TW = True Width   VG = Visible Gold   TELL = Tellurides   CUT= cut to 3.50 oz./ton    QV = Quartz vein   QS = Quartz stringers

About the Company

The Company purchased the Macassa Mine and the 1,500 ton per day mill along with four former producing gold properties – Kirkland Lake Gold, Teck-Hughes, Lake Shore and Wright Hargreaves – in December 2001. These properties, which have historically produced some 22 million ounces of gold, extend over seven kilometers between the Macassa Mine on the east and Wright Hargreaves on the west and for the first time will be developed and explored under one owner.  This camp is located in the Abitibi Southern  Greenstone Belt of Kirkland Lake, Ontario, Canada.

The results of the Company’s underground diamond drilling program have been reviewed, verified (including sampling, analytical and test data) and compiled by the Company's geological staff (which includes a ‘qualified person’, Michael Sutton P.Geo. for the purpose of NI 43-101,Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects).

The Company has implemented a quality assurance and control (QA/QC) program to ensure sampling and analysis of all exploration work is conducted in accordance with the best possible practices.  The drill core is sawn in half with half of the core samples shipped to the Swastika Laboratories in Swastika, Ontario or to the Macassa mine laboratory for analysis. The other half of the core is retained for future assay verification. Other QA/QC includes the insertion of blanks, and the regular re-assaying of pulps/rejects at alternate certified labs (Polymet, Accurassay). Gold analysis is conducted by fire assay using atomic absorption or gravimetric finish.  The laboratory re-assays at least 10% of all samples and additional checks may be run on anomalous values.
