Klondike Gold Lone Star Zone Assays 0.72 g/t Au over 92.3 meters including
10.0 g/t Au over 4.6 meters
October 4, 2018 TSX Venture Exchange Symbol – KG
Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, October 4, 2018, Klondike Gold Corp. (TSX.V: KG; FRA: LBDP; OTC:
KDKGF) (“Klondike Gold” or the “Company”) is pleased to report assays from a further six drill holes at the
Lone Star Zone, and results from four holes in the Gold Run Creek area at the Company’s wholly owned
Klondike District Property, Yukon Territory.
A total of 87 holes (9,511.93 meters) were drilled in 2018. To date, final assay results have been received
and released from 30 of the 87 diamond drill holes completed in 2018. Exploration continues to affirm
multiple local sources of bedrock gold mineralization which explain placer deposits exploited historically
within the Klondike District.
Within the Lone Star Zone associated with the Bonanza Fault, six holes LS18-175 to LS18-180 tested in the
central portion of the mineralized area. These results from sectional drilling continue to show broad
intervals of gold mineralization starting at or near surface, as well as the presence of gold mineralization
at greater depths.
LONE STAR ZONE DRILL RESULTS:
Hole ID From (m) To (m) Au (g/t) Interval (m)
LS18-175 23.00 45.00 0.50 22.00
LS18-176 7.62 35.00 0.59 27.38
LS18-177 8.90 28.10 1.17 19.20
LS18-178 9.31 20.00 0.37 10.69
LS18-179 14.10 53.00 0.54 38.90
including 14.10 29.00 1.21 14.90
LS18-180 2.70 95.00 0.72 92.30
including 24.60 29.20 10.00 4.60
An updated plan map of Lone Star Zone drill hole locations is available on the Company’s website
http://www.klondikegoldcorp.com/photos/gallery/2018-drill-maps. Cross sections for 2018 holes
including 2016-2017 holes are also posted or will be added as sections are completed.
Lone Star Zone drill holes LS18-175 to LS18-180 were drilled at -55 dip and 200 azimuth. Assay averages
are calculated over drilled core lengths; true thickness from holes drilled at 200 azimuth is approximately
the drilled interval.
GOLD RUN STEP-OUT DRILLING
The structural geology and faults associated with the Lone Star Zone are inferred to run the 50 km length
of the district and be present in the vicinity of Gold Run Creek area. Four initial holes were drilled in the
Gold Run Creek area to test this premise. These drill holes targeted an area of historic shafts located by
prospecting from which numerous grab samples returned values of 0.6 to 55 g/t Au (see news release
May 24, 2018). Drilling in all four holes encountered gold -bearing quartz veins, some with visible gold,
within extensive carbonate alteration hosted by weakly foliated mafic schist.
Assay results show that the quartz veins are anomalously gold -bearing, however within the area tested
the carbonate alteration surrounding the quartz veining is not, unlike at the Lone Star and Nugget Zones.
A table of significant assays follows.
Hole ID From (m) To (m) Au (g/t) Interval (m)
GR18-160 64.15 65.60 0.99 1.45
GR18-161 28.60 36.75 0.22 8.15
GR18-162 37.25 50.75 1.23 13.50
including 37.25 38.40 9.51 1.15
GR18-163 24.00 28.50 0.58 4.50
These early-stage results from the long 30 km step-out from Lone Star Zone to Gold Run along the 50 km
length of the Klondike District trend are encouraging and demonstrate the auriferous nature of the
bedrock mineralizing system as expected. Further work is planned for this target and others as exploration
continues to establish local sources for the extensive alluvial gold-bearing gravels along this mineralized
trend.
Gold Run area drill holes GR18-160 to GR18-163 were drilled at -50 dip and 210 azimuth. Assay averages
are calculated over drilled core lengths; true thickness is unknown.
ONGOING WORK
Core logging has now been completed and sampling is projected to be completed in October . Detailed
mapping and sampling of recently identified mineralization and follow -up of preliminary structural and
lithologic mapping is expected to continue until then as well.
The Lone Star Zone is one of five targets drill tested during the 2018 exploration program. Additional drill
results from Lone Star and other targets will be released as they are received, evaluated and incorporated
into the evolving exploration model. Cross sections, including geology and mineralization will be posted
when all holes on the section are available. For reference , LS18-210 is the final 2018 hole drilled at the
Lone Star Zone, the hole ID numbers -211 to -214 were unused, and holes EC18-215 to EC18-247 targeted
the Nugget Zone or other targets along Eldorado Creek.
A total of 87 holes (9,511.93 meters) were drilled in 2018. Assays from drilling at the Lone Star Zone (LS18-
151 to LS18-159; LS18-164 to LS18-180) and Gold Run area (GR18-160 to GR18-163) have been released.
QUALITY ASSURANCE AND METHODS
Klondike Gold maintains a rigorous quality assurance / quality control (“QA/QC”) program. Details can be
viewed on the Company’s website http://www.klondikegoldcorp.com/projects/sampling-and-assay-
protocols/.
Drill core samples are submitted by Klondike Gold personnel to Bureau Veritas Mineral Laboratories (“BV
Labs”) (formerly Acme Labs) preparation facility in Whitehorse, YT with chemical analysis of sample pulps
completed in Vancouver, British Columbia. Bureau Veritas Labs is an accredited ISO 9001:2008 full-service
commercial laboratory.
At BV Labs each core sample is crushed to 70% passing 2 mm size. A 500 g subsample is pulverized to 85%
passing -75 microns size (Code PRP70-500). The 500 g subsample is then sieved to 106 microns (140 mesh)
for “metallic screen” assaying. The plus 140 mesh fraction is then weighed and assayed for gold by fire
assay (“FA”) fusion with a gravimetric finish (Code FS631). A 30 g subsam ple of the minus 140 mesh
fraction is assayed for gold by fire assay (“FA”) fusion with an atomic absorption (“AA”) finish (Code
FA430). All over-limit results in excess of 10 ppm (10 g/t) for both silver and gold are re -assayed using a
30 g subsample and assayed by FA with a gravimetric finish (Code FA530-Au/Ag). Total gold grade is then
calculated using a weighted average of the plus and minus fraction assay results.
