About Lake Shore Gold

Lake Shore Gold is a mineral development and exploration company that is moving towards gold production through its wholly owned Timmins Mine project, where the Company is sinking a shaft and driving a ramp to access shallow mineralization. The wholly-owned Bell Creek Mill, located on the east side of Timmins, was refurbished to a capacity of 800 tonnes per day as of the end of 2008, with the Mill's capacity currently being increased to 1,500 tonnes per day. The Company recently commenced an underground advanced exploration program at its Bell Creek Complex, including the Bell Creek Mine, Schumacher and Vogel properties, which have the potential to become the Company's second mining project in the Timmins Camp, and is pursuing a number of other highly prospective exploration properties in Northern Ontario and Quebec.
