Klondike Gold 2018 District Exploration Update
June 19, 2018 TSX Venture Exchange Symbol – KG
Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, June 19, 201 8, Klondike Gold Corp. (TSX.V: KG; FRA: LBDP)
(“Klondike Gold” or the “Company”) is pleased to update progress of district scale evaluation programs at
the Company’s wholly owned Klondike District property, Yukon Territory following the recent update of
diamond drilling progress (June 11, 2018 news release) . A minimum total of $2.5 million has been
budgeted for 2018 (March 9, 2018 news release).
2018 Klondike District Work
The Company is accelerating district scale exploration designed to outline new target areas b y
concurrently completing full geophysical surveying, structural and lithologic mapping, and soil
geochemical coverage of the Klondike District property during this 2018 season. This comprehensive
multi-disciplinary surveying, the first ever undertaken across the Klondike District, is already yielding new
insights that can provide faster and more efficient exploration of known targets, and in addition can screen
for new target areas in the majority of the district which has not been explored.
SRK Consulting (“SRK”) field work is underway and is to be completed by mid -August. SRK has been
contracted to conduct structural and lithologic mapping through the Klondike District property. The
objective is to outline the district-scale structures, provide information on the district- to local-scale
disposition of lithologies adjacent to these faults, and provide further insight into the disposition of gold
and controls of deposition.
This work is performed in association with Leeds University, UK (“Leeds”) Department of Earth and
Environment providing a post-graduate team to compliment the SRK mapping effort. Klondike Gold has
maintained a research relationship with Leeds for many years, exemplified recently by completion of PhD
on the relationship of place r gold to bedrock gold mineralization at the Lone Star Zone (Matt Grimshaw
PhD, 2018).
New-Sense Geophysics Ltd (“New-Sense”) geophysical work is underway with helicopter-borne magnetic,
radiometric, and VLF -EM surveying totalling approximately 4 ,000 line km covering the Klondike District
property, including portions previously covered by ground surveys. This work is expected to provide a
comprehensive geophysical view of structures transecting the district , to compliment the concurrent
lithologic and structural mapping program, and is expected to be completed by August.
GroundTruth Exploration soil geochemical surveying is underway covering core areas of interest within
the Klondike District property where no previous coverage exists, with work anticipated to be complete
by August. Results of this survey can directly detect areas with anomalous gold, and using trace element
chemistry for geochemical mapping can discriminate and outline rock types . GroundTruth has been
contracted to collect approximately 5,000 soils.
The Company’s prospecting program is also well underway. This program has generated a first ever map
of approximately 60 separate shafts and adits encountered throughout the property . Systematic rock
grab sampling of these areas is revealing new potential targets, particularly so when combined with the
district scale work described above.
Planned 2018 Work Summary
The Company plans a minimum $2,500,000 exploration program for 2018 includ ing plans for: 5,000 to
7,000 meters of drilling between multiple targets; 3,000 to 5,000 new soils, 4,000 line kilometers of
airborne m agnetics, radiometric, and VLF -M surveying, detailed structural and lithologic mapping and
prospecting across the entire dis trict for the first time, and contingency for 2018 follow -up on any new
targets generated.
