The Wetmore Project is located approximately 900m southwest of
the current Bell Creek Mine workings with the ~800m
                                               surface and mining
rights being fully owned by Lake Shore Gold. Based on current       ~800m
exploration results the geology appears to be similar to the Bell
Creek Mine. The mineralization has been defined from surface to                             ~250m
a depth just below 700m.

• Commissioned in 2021, the seismic system implemented at Bell Creek is the same system as installed at Timmins West Mine
  (IMS geophones).
• The system is being used as a risk management tool, helping to identify areas of elevated mining induced seismic activity.
• A graphitic seam identified in the current mining area and as shown on 1095 level has required cable bolting on each sub
  level.
• The mining sequence is being modified to reduce the problems associated with diminishing pillars as shown on the 985
  level.

                      Bulk Zone – 1250L Mining
                      In Q2 2021, mining of a bulk zone will start on the 1250 level. The bulk zone is expected to be
                      more productive as the orebody in this zone is wider and the mining sequence has been
                      designed to allow multiple simultaneous mining horizons.

There are 2 conceptual projects in scoping study at Bell Creek intended on extending the Life of Mine
and improving ore recovery – adding value to the mine and reducing costs
Shaft Deepening – access lower level ore                            Paste Backfill – access more ore, increase ore recovery, improve
and deepen the mine                                                 stope cycle, and improve stability (as per TW)

//   History of Production
• 2002 - Placed on care and maintenance
• 2009 - Recommissioned at the start of 2009 at 800 MTPD (33 TPH)
• 2009 - Expanded to 1500 MTPD (63 TPH). Added secondary grinding.
• 2010 - Expanded to 2000 MTPD (83 TPH). Added a CIL tank.
• 2012 – Expanded to 2500 MTPD (104 TPH). Added 2 more CIL tanks.
• 2013 – Expanded to 4800 MTPD (200 TPD). Added new crushing circuit and SAG mill.

                                            Gold recovery from Timmins West Mine ore is 97%, while the
                                            recovery from Bell Creek Mine is 95%.
                                            The life of mine plan for the Tailings Storage Facility includes a
                                            series of annual raises and expansions to accommodate the
                                            required storage capacity.
                                            The current tailings management facility is built using both a
                                            downstream and centreline methodology.
