Klondike Gold 2021 Diamond Drilling Begins
May 19, 2021 TSX Venture Exchange Symbol – KG
Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, May 19, 202 1, Klondike Gold Corp. (TSX.V: KG; FRA:
LBDP; OTC: KDKGF) (“Klondike Gold” or the “Company”) is pleased to report Phase 1 diamond
drilling began May 12 at the Virgin Target area, part of a three phase drill program on the
Company’s wholly owned 586 square kilometer Klondike District Property near Dawson City,
Yukon Territory.
Program Highlights:
• 2021 exploration/resource drilling program of approximately 6,500 meters will be
distributed over three phases and test multiple target areas
• Phase 1 exploration drilling is underway and focuses on discovering bedrock source s of
gold at the historic the Virgin/Lindow Target areas
• Phase 2 drilling at the Lone Star Zone to begin shortly focuses on outlining a maiden
resource
• Phase 3 drilling to focus on expanding the discovery at the Stander Zone
Peter Tallman, Klondike Gold’s CEO stated, “The primary objective of the 2021 exploration season
is to expand known mineralized zones to advance a maiden resource at Lone Star . Additionally
we have identified and will test significant new drill targets within the District that could rapidly
open up the possibilities for additional discoveries. Our full crew complement is in the field and
work is moving along smoothly”.
Phase 1 diamond drilling is underway testing the Virgin and Lindow Target areas along Bear
Creek, one of the significant placer gold producing creeks during the Klondike gold rush, located
10 km north of the Lone Star and Stander Zones and 6 km from the Company’s Dawson City office.
(See News Release dated May 4 for target detail s). The Phase 1 program now includes three
holes to test the Virgin Target and at least two holes to test the Lindow Target. A follow up drill
program to further test Bear Creek targets is scheduled for September contingent upon positive
results.

Phase 2 drilling work at the Lone Star Zone, expected to be the main focus of the Company’s 2021
field activity, will follow completion of Phase 1. Phase 2 drill holes will test for parallel gold -
bearing structures as imbricate repeats of the Bonanza fault which hosts the Lone Star gold zone
as an attempt to significantly expand the ‘footprint’ of gold mineralization . Phase 2 drilling will
also include infill and step -out expansion tests of the main Lone Star Zone for inclusion in a
planned 2022 mineral resource estimate. Deeper tests beneath the shallow drilling that has so
far defined the Lone Star Zone are also planned as an attempt to follow gold mineralization to
depth.
Phase 3 drilling at the Stander Zone is planned to test for lateral expansions of gold mineralization
and to infill between gold mineralized intersections for possible inclusion in a planned 2022
mineral resource estimate.
