TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Sept. 18, 2015) -
Lake Shore Gold Corp. (TSX:LSG)(NYSE MKT:LSG) ("Lake Shore Gold" or the "Company") today announced the completion of the previously announced acquisition of Temex Resources Corp. ("Temex") by way of a court approved plan of arrangement (the "Arrangement").


Tony Makuch, President and CEO of Lake Shore Gold, commented: "With the acquisition of Temex now complete, we will begin preparations for an exploration program on a number of key targets at the Whitney Project ("Whitney"). Whitney is very attractive to us given its close proximity to our milling facility, its large, high-grade resource and the attractive exploration targets included within its property position. Whitney provides a very valuable, additional option for Lake Shore Gold as we work towards fully utilizing the processing potential of our Bell Creek Mill and increasing our overall production profile in the Timmins Camp. "


Pursuant to the Arrangement and effective upon closing of the Arrangement, Temex has become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Lake Shore Gold, and all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Temex (each a "Temex Share") were transferred to Lake Shore Gold in consideration for the issuance by Lake Shore Gold of 0.105 of a common share of Lake Shore Gold (each whole common share a "Lake Shore Gold Share"). In connection with the closing of the Arrangement, Lake Shore Gold has issued an aggregate of 19,591,526 Lake Shore Gold Shares to the former shareholders of Temex. In addition, all of the outstanding options and warrants of Temex are deemed to have been exchanged under the Arrangement for options or warrants to purchase Lake Shore Gold Shares. In accordance with the terms of the outstanding warrants and options, each holder is now entitled to receive upon the exercise, 0.105 of a Lake Shore Gold Share for each Temex Share previously issuable. If all such options and warrants are exercised Lake Shore Gold would issue an additional 2,615,721 Lake Shore Gold Shares.
