Kirkland Lake Gold Ltd. reaffirmed re-issued production guidance for the full year 2020. Entering the second half of the year, the Company was well positioned to achieve the re-issued full-year 2020 guidance with production expected to increase at Macassa and Detour Lake, both of which were transitioned to reduced operations during the first half of the year as part of the Company’s COVID-19 response. Both mines began recalling workers off due to the transition to reduced operations in early May and, as at June 30, 2020, workforce levels at both Macassa and Detour had returned to pre-COVID levels. Production at Macassa totalled 92,726 ounces in year to date 2020, which compares to full-year guidance of 210,000 - 220,000 ounces. Detour Lake continues to target full-year production of 520,000 - 540,000 ounces. Production at Fosterville for year to date 2020 totalled 314,970 ounces, with the mine on track to meet its full-year production guidance of 590,000 - 610,000 ounces. Included among the re-issued guidance was production of 1,350,000 ounces to 1,400,000 ounces. Production at Macassa in the second half of the year is expected to increase reflecting higher tonnes processed as mining rates ramp up, as well as an improvement in the average grade from 18.5 g/t in the first half of the year. Production at Detour Lake for year to date 2020 totalled 223,547 ounces, representing output for the five-month period from January 31, 2020 to June 30, 2020. The Company will benefit from a full six months of results from Detour Lake in the second half of 2020, with grades expected to improve as mining rates increase from year to date 2020 levels. During YTD 2020, a significant proportion of mill feed at Detour Lake came from stockpiles, where grades are typically lower than from mine production.
