Lake Shore Gold Reports Strong Cost Performance in Q1/15 - Seite 2

"Looking ahead, with our strong start to the year we are well positioned to achieve our production and unit cost targets in 2015. While average grades will come down as we sequence into different areas of mining, we expect to deliver solid operating results over the balance of the year that, at current gold prices, will support continued strong cash flow generation. Based on our current business plan, and assuming an average Canadian dollar gold price for the year at or close to $1,500 per ounce, we are positioned to end 2015 with over $100.0 million of cash and bullion."
