12:35 PM EST, 11/07/2017 (MT Newswires) -- Kirkland Lake Gold (KL.TO) shares rose to a record on Tuesdayafter the company said underground drilling at its Fosterville mine in Australia showed an extension of the gold resource in the mine's highest-grade area.

The company said drilling in the mine's Swan zone, which has an existing initial mineral reserve estimate of 532,000 ounces with a grade of 58.8 grams of gold per tonne, had found an extension of the resource, with visible gold in the cores. One core showed average values of 991 grams of gold per tonne over 8.85 meters, with one 0.9 meter section grading at 9,115 grams of gold per tonne.

Production from the Swan zone is expected to begin by mid-2018.

Kirkland Lake shares were up $1.41, or 8.13%, to $18.75 at last look on the Toronto Stock Exchange, the highest since the shares were listed in July, 2015.
