AIM Rules for Companies, Rule 26

The following information is being disclosed for the purpose of AIM Rules for Companies, Rule 26, and was last updated on January 14, 2013.

Description of Business

A description of our business can be found on our home page www.klgold.com.

Detailed information with respect to our business is contained under the heading “General Development Of The Corporation's Business” in our Annual Information Form for the year ended April 30, 2012 (“AIF”) - a copy is available here or at SEDAR www.sedar.com.

Board of Directors

Our Board of Directors currently consists of seven directors, three of whom are independent directors. Brian E. Bayley, Dawn Whittaker, Pamela Klessig, and Trevor M. Gabriel are independent directors. D.Harry W. Dobson Executive Chairman and Brian Hinchcliffe President, John Thompson CFO and Mark Tessier COO are not considered independent, of the Corporation. Please see “Board of Directors” for detailed information.

Our Board of Directors has not adopted a written mandate or code setting out the requirements of applicable corporate and securities common and statue law which provide that the Board has responsibility of the stewardship of the Corporation. That stewardship includes responsibility for strategic planning, identification of the principal risks of our business and implementation of appropriate systems to manage these risks, succession planning (including appointing, training and monitoring senior management), communications with investors and the financial community and the integrity of our internal control and management information systems.

Strategic planning and risk identification by the board is assisted by and based on information and recommendations of our senior management on a variety of matters.

The Board monitors the Corporation's compliance with its timely disclosure obligations and reviews principal disclosure documents (such as prospectuses, offering memoranda, financial statements, Management's Discussion & Analysis, annual reports and annual information forms) and certain members of the Board review secondary disclosure documents (such as press releases) prior to their distribution. The Board relies on its Audit committee to annually review the systems of internal control and discuss such matters with the Company's external auditors.

Audit Committee

The Audit Committee currently consists of four members, all of whom are independent directors. The members of the Committee are Brian E. Bayley, Pamela Klessig, and Trevor M. Gabriel.

Our management is responsible for preparing our financial statements and other financial information and for presenting the information contained in the financial statements fairly and in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). Management is also responsible for establishing internal controls and procedures and for maintaining the appropriate accounting and financial reporting principles and policies designed to assure compliance with accounting standards and all applicable laws and regulations.

The auditor's responsibility is to audit our financial statements and provide its opinion, based on its audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, whether the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Corporation in accordance with IFRS.

The role of the Committee is principally one of oversight. Accordingly, the Committee shall:

1. make recommendations to the Board regarding the appointment, retention and level of compensation of the Corporation's external auditor (the “auditor”);
2. approve, in advance, all non-audit services provided to the Corporation by the auditor and the related compensation;
3. evaluate the work of the auditor and confirm its independence;
4. provide a means of communication between the Board, management and the auditor on matters relating to financial reporting;
5. provide the necessary oversight over:
   1. the integrity, adequacy and timeliness of the Corporation's financial reporting and disclosure practices, including the preparation of financial statements;
   2. the processes for identifying the Corporation's principal financial risks and the control systems to monitor those risks;
   3. the Corporation's compliance with legal and regulatory requirements related to financial reporting; and
6. perform any other activities consistent with its mandate, our constating documents and laws of general application as the Committee or Board deems necessary or desirable.

The Board has adopted an Audit Committee Charter. A copy of the Charter is available here or at SEDAR www.sedar.com.

Compensation Committee

The Compensation Committee currently consists of three members, all of whom are independent. The members of the Committee are Brian E. Bayley, Trevor Gabriel and Pamela Klessig.

The Board has adopted a Compensation Committee Charter. A copy of the Charter is available here or at SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

The Committee will discharge the Board's responsibilities relating to compensation of our executive officers and Directors, executive compensation disclosure and oversight of the compensation structure and benefit plans and programs. Among other things, the Committee will establish and administer our policies, programs and procedures for compensating and incentivizing its executive officers.
