    TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Sept. 15, 2014) - Kirkland Lake Gold Inc., ("KL Gold" or the "Company") (TSX:KGI)(AIM:KGI), an operating and exploration gold company with operations in Ontario, Canada, announces proposed changes to the Company's Board of Directors. Subject to approval and completion of diligence as required under the AIM Rules for Companies and AIM Rules for Nominated Advisers, Mr. Barry R. Cooper, Mr. Jeffrey S. Parr and Mr. Barry P. Olson will be nominated by management for election by the shareholders of the Company at the upcoming Annual General Meeting scheduled for 4:00pm ET on October 22, 2014 at 5300 Commerce Court West, 199 Bay Street, Toronto, Ontario (the "AGM").

    Three of the Company's current directors, Mr. Brian Bayley, Mr. Trevor Gabriel and Mr. Claude Lemasson, will not be standing for re-election.

    Mr. Bayley has provided more than 16 years of strong guidance as an Independent Director, and his contributions and wide-ranging knowledge have significantly contributed to the growth of the Company. Mr. Gabriel has added tremendous value over the last 6 years in his role as an Independent Director and as Chair of the Audit Committee. Mr. Lemasson joined the Board in October 2013 as an Independent Director, and the Company has profited greatly from his experience and thoughtful contributions over the last year.

    Mr. Harry Dobson, Chairman of the Company, said, "I have truly enjoyed working with Brian, Trevor and Claude. They have all made considerable contributions to the development of the Company, and the support they have provided, particularly over the last 5 years, has been very significant. I wish them every success in their future endeavors. The Company has reached some key milestones so far in this financial year and I am looking forward to working with our new directors in the development of the business."

    Mr. Barry Richard Cooper, aged 62, retired from CIBC as the number one ranked gold analyst in the Brendon Wood survey covering the precious metals sector across North America. His independent studies on publicly traded companies, gold prices and the mining industry were well recognized by investors and corporations throughout his 17 year career as an equities analyst.

    Prior to joining CIBC in 1996, Mr. Cooper was employed by Cameco Corporation, the world's largest producer of uranium. At Cameco, Mr. Cooper was responsible for the company's gold diversification program, primarily in North America, but also in other parts of the world. Before joining Cameco, he worked as an exploration geologist in Western Canada and for Inco as a mine geologist at two of its nickel operations in Sudbury.
