Klondike Gold Reports 0.6 g/t Au over 83.0 meters and
1.45 g/t Au over 20.2 meters at Lone Star Zone, Yukon
February 13, 2020 TSX Venture Exchange Symbol – KG
Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, February 13, 2020, Klondike Gold Corp. (TSX.V: KG; FRA: LBDP;
OTC: KDKGF) (“Klondike Gold” or the “Company”) is pleased to report exploration results including assays
from thirty-six drill holes from the 2019 drill program plus one area of channel sampling testing the Lone
Star Zone along the Bonanza Fault on the Company’s wholly owned 586 square kilometer Klondike District
Property, Yukon Territory. The drill program was designed to test the Bonanza fault for Lone Star style
mineralization over an additional 750m of strike length to the SE of the Lone Star zone, in an area of high
gold-in-soil values up to 0.8 g/t Au. The program was successful in intersecting broad zones of gold
mineralization containing local intervals of high-grade gold. The Company’s latest interpretation however
suggests the main ‘Lone Star’ mineralized horizon has been fault offset slightly south and was untested in
2019 and remains a high priority target for 2020 drilling.
SUMMARY
• Recent re-analysis of geophysical data sets covering the Klondike District property indicate the
Bonanza Fault can be traced in both VLF-EM, and tilt derivative airborne magnetic survey data.
The Bonanza Fault appears as a 7.0 Km magnetic low (fault) associated with gold mineralization
traceable across the northwestern end of the property , starting near the confluence between
Eldorado and Bonanza Creeks and trending southeasterly through the Lone Star Zone.
• Drill results reported here are from along the Bonanza Fault, east of the Lone Star zone.
• Overall drill and geologic results support the Company’s interpretation that D4 structures are
conduits for gold -bearing fluids and that both D4 and D3 structures are potentially gold
mineralized exploration targets with a cross-cutting pattern analogous to a checkerboard.
• Remaining 2019 drill results from various ancillary targets are pending release.
DRILL RESULT HIGHLIGHTS
• The first Lone Star Zone drill hole of 2019, LS 19-284 intersected mineralization from surface
grading 0.60 g/t Au over 83.0 meters (4.00-87.00m), including 1.91 g/t Au over 16.50 meters (35.0
to 51.5m).
• Hole LS19-290, intersected mineralization from surface grading 0.84 g/t Au over 18.5 0 meters
(5.30 to 23.80m).

• Hole LS19-300 intersected near-surface mineralization grading 0.69 g/t Au over 31.40m (28.20 to
59.60m), including 1.09 g/t Au over 17.80 meters (28.20 to 46.00m).
• Hole LS19-305 intersected near-surface mineralization grading 1.25 g/t Au over 20.50m (51.50m
to 72.00m).
• The final Lone Star Zone drill hole of 2019, LS19-319 intersected mineralization from near-surface
grading 1.45 g/t Au over 20.20 meters (20.80 to 41.00m).
LONE STAR ZONE DRILL RESULTS
Assay results for samples from thirty-six (36) drill holes (LS19-284 to LS19-319) are newly reported here.
The thirty-six holes were drilled in an area of 300 meters wide by 700 meters (along strike) located east
of the known Lone Star mineralized zone. Mineralization in drill holes reported here extends the known
envelope of Lone Star Zone mineralization along the Bonanza Fault for up to 400 meters to the east and
provides information for drill targeting further potential expansion in 2020. (Refer to Figure 1: Location
Plan Map of Lone Star Zone drilling.)

LONE STAR ZONE GEOPHYSICAL MODEL OVERVIEW
The Lone Star Zone gold mineralization and associated Bonanza Fault is marked in geophysics by a
coincident intense conductive northwest trending very low frequency electromagnetic (“VLF -EM”) high
and a magnetic ‘break’ indicative of a major “D3” structure as defined in the Company’s orogenic gold
model (see News Release December 10, 2019) . Recent compilation of work has recognized a 3 km
extension of the “D3” structure to the northwest. The combined VLF-EM/magnetic target, associated with
gold mineralization in outcrop, gold-in-soils, and gold intersected in drilling, is now traceable across the
northwestern end of the Klondike District Property for a distance of 7 kilometers.
As currently understood, t he location of the seven-kilometer long Lone Star Zone and the fifteen -
kilometer Stander Zone are shown in Figure 2.
Page 5 of 10
Figure 2: Location of Lone Star Zone and Stander Zone Segments
The northwest 3-kilometer segment of the Lone Star Zone from “Km 0” to Km 3 has seen little systematic
exploration, aside from soil sampling (which returned numerous anomalous gold values) and the airborne
geophysics.
LONE STAR ZONE GOLD MINERALIZATION
Within the Lone Star Zone and continuing along the “D3” northwest striking and southwest dipping
Bonanza Fault, gold mineralization occurs within localized zones of quartz veining and disseminated along
microfractures. Both the Bonanza Fault, and also the nearby Nugget Fault (Stander Zone), are composite
fault zones ranging from 30 to 150m wide. The later northeast strike and northwest dipping “D4” faults
(orthogonal to “D3” in orientation, forming a checkerboard pattern), were conduits for the introduction
of gold mineralization . The D4 faults apparently reactivated the earlier D3 structures, and both are
considered conduits and deposition sites for gold-bearing mineralization.
Measured from the northwest end, gold along the Bonanza Fault occurs in drill holes at surface between
approximately Km 3.5 and Km 7.0. (The Lone Star Zone area of closer-spaced drilling is from Km 4.6 to Km
5.6.) The gold is coarse, visible free gold usually 1-mm in size but occasionally occurs in larger clots to >1-
cm size, hosted by quartz veining. Individual quartz veins range in size from 1 millimeter to 10 millimeters
Page 6 of 10
and rarely up to 1.0+ meters. As currently known, gold mineralization occurs mostly adjacent to and
above (in the hangingwall of) the controlling Bonanza Fault.
LONE STAR ZONE CHANNEL SAMPLE RESULTS
Seven prospecting grab samples were collected in 2018 from a sub-cropping quartz vein discovery within
the Bonanza Fault containing visible gold located 850 meters east of the eastern end of the Lone Star
Zone. Samples assayed between 14.5 g/t Au to 38.5 g/t Au (average 25.1 g/t Au). Prospecting grab
samples are selective in nature collected to test for the presence or absence of gold and other ‘economic’
minerals. Systematic additional test results may vary significantly.
A trenching program in 2019 ex posed the quartz vein discovery along a strike of 24 meters. The quartz
vein and adjacent veinlets dips shallowly to the northeast consistent with veins noted locally in the Lone
Star Zone. The true thickness of the mineralization is indeterminate.
The quartz vein exposure contains visible gold. A total of 29 channel samples cut by rock saw were
collected from approximately 1-meter spaced lines continuously across the 1- to 4-meter wide exposures
over a 24 -meter strike length. Individual samples were 1. 0 meter in length. A total of 11 composite
channels were cut orthogonally across the 24 -meter length and each ranged from 1.0 to 4.0 meters in
total length. The objective of this work was to systematically examine the gold distribution through the
length of the quartz vein and better understand the distribution of higher grade ‘pockets’ of gold-bearing
quartz veins generally.
All channel samples contained gold. The highest composite channel assay result was 28.2 g/t Au over 4.0
meters at the 4 -meter mark along the exposure including a 96.3 g/t Au over 1.0 meter subinterval with
visible gold. An adjacent composite channel assay interval at the 3-meter mark was 11.1 g/t Au over 3.0
meters. The average gold assay value collectively for the 29 channel samples is 7.7 g/t Au. The 29 samples
had a total mass of 112.9 kg (average 3.9 kg per sample) and the 112.9 kg bulk mass-weighted assay value
is also 7.7 g/t Au. These channel samples are selective in nature collected to test for the presence or
absence of gold. Systematic additional test results elsewhere may vary significantly. A table of composite
channel sample assays is summarized in Table 2.

2019 DRILL ASSAYS PENDING
Remaining 2019 drill results from 54 holes testing various ancillary targets are pending release.
DRILL HOLE STATISTICS
Drill holes LS19-284 to LS19-319 were NTW-diameter size core. Drill holes are generally oriented with 200
azimuth and -55 dip at collar, except where noted in the following table. The purpose of varying collar
dip and azimuth was to test for cross-cutting structures and to obtain structural measurements from the
use of oriented core tools.
Location, azimuth, dip and end of hole (“EOH”) lengths for drill holes in this news releas e are listed in
Table 3 below.

SAMPLE AND ANALYTICAL PROTOCOLS
Lone Star Zone samples in this release are from NTW diameter drill core. Assay samples from drill core
are cut using a diamond saw. Half the core sample interval is bagged, tagged, and sealed; the other half
is returned to the core box with a corresponding tag and retained for reference. Three gold reference
standards, blanks, coarse crush blanks, and sample duplicates are routinely inserted as part of Klondike
Gold’s quality assurance / quality control (“QA/QC”) program, independent of and additional to the
laboratory QA/QC program. A similar procedure is used for outcrop channel samples except all the
individual sampled channel saw cut material is bagged for assay. See the Company website for additional
information.
