configurations at both the Lone Star and Stander Zones. This program will also help provide information

regarding the structural relationship with high gold grades to assist targeting further planned 2020 drilling.

Peter Tallman, President and CEO of Klondike Gold stated “The entirety of the phased drill programs

went very smoothly and quickly considering the Company began exploration early and with

comprehensive health protocols to prevent infection and transmission of the covid virus, and I want to

commend our staff and our contractors for embracing the diligence and patience required. I am

optimistic the results of this drilling will help point towards more of the higher grades of gold our

shareholders want to see in addition to providing information on Lone Star and Stander Zones.”

PHASE 1 LONE STAR ZONE DRILLING IS COMPLETE:

Phase 1 drilling is complete. Thirteen infill drill holes tested a sub-area at the western end of the Lone

Star Zone where gold mineralization outcrops over a 200 meter by 50 meter area, shown in Figure 1 . In

most cases an additional hole from the same drill pad was completed resulting in thirteen holes drilled

versus nine holes planned. Results from t he Phase 1 program are anticipated to provide data to allow

consideration of a resource volume leading to evaluation as a potential ‘starter open pit’.
