Klondike Gold Nugget East Target Assays 2.36 g/t Au over 22.86
meters and 2.22 g/t Au over 21.34 meters
January 24, 2019 TSX Venture Exchange Symbol – KG
Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, January 24, 2019, Klondike Gold Corp. (TSX.V: KG; FRA: LBDP; OTC:
KDKGF) (“Klondike Gold” or the “Company”) is pleased to report assays from the final 27 drill holes of the
2018 drill program testing various targets including the Nugget Zone at the Company’s wholly owned
Klondike District Property, Yukon Territory.
The most significant new near-surface gold intersections come from the Nugget East Target, particularly
hole EC18-230 assaying 2.36 g/t over 22.86 meters from 9.14 meters downhole and EC18-234 assaying
2.22 g/t over 21.34 meters from 49.68 meters downhole . These gold intersections, plus EC15-15 and
EC15-16 from the 2015 drill program outline a new gold-mineralized subzone of 115 meters strike length
which remains open and requires follow-up testing.
The overall objective of drilling at the Nugget area was to test targets within the Eldorado Creek drainage
in proximity to the interpreted Nugget Fault and Irish Fault. Gold intersected along the Nugget Fault in
particular has been shown to be one of the sources of the rich Eldorado Creek alluvial placer gold deposits
from the past century. The Nugget Zone plus the Nugget East, Oro Grande, and Glacier targets lie along
the Nugget Fault. The French target lies along the Irish Fault. Drilling encountered vein-array hosted gold
mineralization in all intersections. Host rocks were typically brittle mafic schists, and/or felsic schists. In
comparison, the Lone Star Zone is hosted by a more ductile intermediate schist.
An updated plan map of drill hole locations in this news release is available on the Company’s website

A full table of weighted average gold assays for the 27 holes EC18-215 to EC18-241 are below:

Drill holes EC18-215 and EC15-237 were drilled at -55 dip and 030 azimuth. All other drill holes EC18-206
to EC18-241 were drilled at -55 dip and 200 azimuth. Assay averages are calculated over drilled cor e
lengths; true thickness from holes drilled at 200 azimuth is interpreted to be approximately the drilled
interval.
NUGGET ZONE
Holes EC18-215 to EC18-219 tested the Nugget Zone area. The objective was to examine/define the upper
and lower bounds of the known Nugget Zone mineraliz ation, and obtain structural information from
oriented core measurements.
Hole EC18-215 was drilled at 030 azimuth (180 degrees to all other drilling) testing above the upper
(northeast) edge of the Nugget Zone and returned no significant values. EC18-216, EC217, and EC18-218
intersected the upper and lower edges of Nugget Zone and these contained gold mineralization. EC18-
219 also drilled above the upper edge of the Nugget Zone and had no significant values.

ORO GRANDE TARGET
Holes EC18-220 and EC18-221 tested the Oro Grande target situated approximately 250 meters to the
east of the Nugget Zone attempting to locate the east continuation of Nugget Fault; neither hole
intersected the Nugget Fault nor any significant mineralization.
NUGGET EAST TARGET
Holes EC18-222 through EC18-234 tested the Nugget East target interpreted to lie along the Nugget Fault
situated approximately 1 km to the east of the Nugget Zone. Drill holes with interesting results inc lude
EC18-222 (0.89 g/t gold over 23.55 meters from 13.45m), EC18-230 (2.36 g/t Au over 22.86 meters from
9.14m), EC18-231 (23.50 g/t Au over 1.50 meters) and EC18-234 (2.22 g/t gold over 21.34 meters f rom
49.68m).
The Nugget East target was tested in 2015 and in 2017 and had f our holes yield significant gold
mineralization as follows:
Hole ID From (m) To (m) Au (g/t) Interval (m) Target
EC15-15 9.35 63.90 0.38 54.55 Nugget East
EC15-16 10.80 55.30 0.76 44.50 Nugget East
EC17-140 67.06 92.00 2.20 24.94 Nugget East
EC17-142 38.00 59.00 0.73 21.00 Nugget East
New holes EC18-230 and EC18-231, plus EC15-15 and EC15-16, define a series of four holes along a 115
meters strike length spaced 50-meters apart; all four holes intersected interesting gold grades and widths
outlining a subzone for further testing.
Hole EC18-234 is part of a series of three holes, EC17-142 / EC18-234 / EC17-140 spaced 50 meters apart;
all holes intersected similar gold grades and widths outlining a second subzone for further testing.
GLACIER TARGET
Holes EC18-235 and EC18-236 tested the Glacier target approximately 800 meters west of the Nugget
Zone. Hole EC18-235 intersected 4.81 g/t Au over 1.90 meters related to visible gold -bearing quartz
veining occurring within a 50-meter zone of quartz flooding.
FRENCH TARGET
Holes EC18-237 through EC18-241 tested two targets in the French Gulch area of the Irish Fault target.
No significant gold intersections were encountered.

ONGOING WORK
The final report and lithologic and structural mapping results are being compiled and will be reported
shortly. This information, once compiled, will be integrated with final results of Klondike Gold’s deta iled
mapping, as well as the products of district airborne geophysical surveying, soil geochemical surveying,
and prospecting. Results of the regional program will be released with discussion at that time.
Additionally, a synthesis discussion of 2018 Lone Star Zone results including drilling, mapping, rock
sampling, and soils is also anticipated.
A total of 87 holes (9,511.93 meters) were drilled in 2018. Results from all 87 of 87 diamond drill holes
completed in 2018 have now been released including results from the Lone Star Zone (LS18-151 to LS18-
159; LS18-164 to LS18-210), Gold Run area (GR18-160 to GR18-163), and Nugget area targets (EC18-215
to EC18-241).
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-se rvice
commercial laboratory.
At BV Labs each core sample is crushed to 70% passing 2 mm size. A 500 g subsample is pulverized to 8 5 %
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.
