Sprott commented:

I’m delighted to be joining the Kirkland Lake Board at this exciting time as the Company’s turnaround continues to gather pace. The Kirkland Lake Gold camp is one of the most prolific gold camps in the world, blessed with world-class grades and situated in a stable jurisdiction. Our Company controls and has 100% ownership of five former producing mines in the camp, that have in totality produced in excess of 22 million ounces of gold. I believe there is significant opportunity for further organic growth from our large land package within the Kirkland Lake camp that will help us build the next great Canadian gold mining company.
