Jeffrey Parr, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Kirkland Lake Gold, commented: "We are delighted to welcome Elizabeth to Kirkland Lake Gold's Board of Directors. She is a successful entrepreneur whose extensive business experience will be extremely valuable for our company as we continue to grow our operations in Australia and Canada. In addition, Elizabeth is our first corporate director from Australia, where our Fosterville Mine has emerged as one of the world's truly great gold producers, and our Northern Territory assets are being advanced towards a potential restart after being placed on care and maintenance in June 2017. Elizabeth's involvement with Austmine, the Federal Government's Innovation Australian Board and her ongoing commitment to METS Ignited have provided her with considerable private and public-sector experience, which we can now draw upon as we continue to work at building our business franchise in Australia."
