Klondike Gold Updates Exploration Progress at Lone Star Target
July 27, 2017 TSX Venture Exchange Symbol – KG
Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, July 27, 2017, Klondike Gold Corp. (TSX.V:KG; FRA: LBDP)
(“Klondike Gold” or the “Company”) updates progress of ongoing drilling at the Lone Star target, and
progress of ongoing exploration surveys within the Company’s Klondike district property, Yukon
Territory.
Drilling Progress - Lone Star Target:
Drilling continues with a total of 30 holes completed out of a total of 60 holes planned, all testing the
Lone Star target and O’Neill area in the vicinity of the Bonanza Fault. Results from the first two holes of
the year have been received and released (see News Release July 11, 2017) and final assays are pending
for the remainder. Preliminary ICP geochemical results from the next four holes have been received and
final quantitative metallic screen assays are imminent. A total of 24 holes are in the lab queue in varying
stages of completion, with more being added as ongoing logging and sampling is completed.
An expansion of the drill program by 20 holes to approximately 80 holes this year is contemplated by
reallocation within the existing $2 million exploration budget. The additional drill meterage is
contingent upon positive assay results from continued drilling at the Lone Star target, and/or positive
results from trenching at the Gold Run target.
3D IP Surveying – Lone Star Target:
The 3D IP survey of the Lone Star target area is complete. An approximate total of 35 line kilometers of
chargeability and resistivity data has been collected. Preliminary modelling of the survey data has been
presented to the Company and is being reviewed with the intention of identifying drill targets in
advance of receipt of final data products anticipated by mid-August.
Soil Sampling Surveys – Lone Star Target and Regional:
Sample collection of the planned 2017 soil program is complete with a total of approximately 4,900
samples submitted for analysis. The objectives of this program include completing a property-spanning
first pass ridge and spur sampling program and to complete detailed grid soil sampling at the Lone Star
target along a 4,500 meter length. This new data should be available for follow-up in late August. The
Lone Star target high density grid sampling results will replace data recovered from paper maps of low
density reconnaissance soil sampling collected in the 1980’s.
Trenching – Gold Run Target:
Trenching has begun in the Gold Run area on anomalous gold-in-soils coincident with geology targets
identified by follow-up prospecting and mapping. The objective of trenching at Gold Run is to confirm
geological relationships and provide targeting information for potential diamond drill testing.
BC Properties:
Rise Gold (formerly Rise Resources) has elected not to complete the purchase of the Company’s
portfolio of British Columbia exploration properties (see News Release dated May 31, 2016). Rise Gold
and the Company have agreed to terminate the purchase and sale agreement in return for a $100,000
payment and acknowledgement by Rise Gold that they do not retain any interest in these properties.
