TORONTO, May 10, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Kirkland Lake Gold Ltd. (“Kirkland Lake Gold” or the “Company”) (TSX:KL) (NYSE:KL) (ASX:KLA) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a share purchase agreement with Artemis Resources Limited (“Artemis”) to acquire 4,000,000 common shares (the “Shares”) of Novo Resources Corp. (“Novo”) at a price of C$5.00 per Share for a total purchase price of C$20,000,000 (the “Acquisition”). The Acquisition is scheduled to close on or before May 31, 2018.

Currently, the Company holds 25,830,268 Shares and 14,000,0000 Novo common share purchase warrants (the “Warrants”), representing an approximate 16.33% undiluted interest and an approximate 23.14% partially diluted interest in Novo, assuming the exercise of the Warrants. Upon closing of the Acquisition, assuming there is no change in the issued and outstanding share capital of Novo as of the date hereof, Kirkland Lake Gold will hold 29,830,268 Shares and 14,000,000 Warrants, representing approximately 18.86% of the outstanding common shares of Novo on an undiluted basis and approximately 25.46% of the outstanding shares on a partially diluted basis, assuming the exercise of the Warrants.

Pursuant to a prior agreement entered into between Artemis and Novo, the Shares are subject to a contractual restriction on resale until August 23, 2018.
