Klondike Gold Discovers 300-meter Southeastern Extension to Stander Zone in Drilling Including 21.50 g/t Au over 4.0 meters (Including 76.07 g/t Au Over 1.0 Meter and 9.50 g/t Au Over 1.0 Meter) and 4.84 g/t Au over 9.0 Meters (Including 35.44 g/t Au over

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / October 29, 2024 / Klondike Gold Corp. (TSXV:KG)(FRA:LBDP)(OTCQB:KDKGF) ("Klondike Gold" or the "Company") is pleased to announce eleven drill hole results which tested for a southeastern extension of Stander Zone gold mineralization within the Company's 100% owned 727 km² Klondike District Property (the "Property") in the Dawson mining district, Yukon, Canada. (see Figure 1).

Highlights Summary

• High grade gold-bearing quartz vein zones within the Stander Zone southeastern extension demonstrate significant lateral and down-dip continuity. These new intersections correlate well with those mapped within the Stander Zone MRE.

• EC24-534 intersected a quartz vein zone averaging 21.50 g/t Au over 4.0 meters from 96.50 meters including individual quartz veins assaying 76.07 g/t Au (2.45 opt Au) over 1.0m and 9.54 g/t Au over 1.0m.

• EC24-541 intersected a quartz vein zone averaging 4.84 g/t Au over 9.0m from 118.0m including two high grade intervals of 35.44 g/t Au over 0.50m and 18.59 g/t Au over 0.60m.

• Mineralization intersected in these drill holes remains open to depth and along strike.

• Additional drill results are pending.

Peter Tallman, Klondike Gold's President & CEO states; "These results reveal a 300-meter strike extension to the stacked high grade gold quartz vein zones that is the economic target within the Stander Zone. This drilling adding 50% to the southeastern strike length of Stander Zone mineralization with these high-grade intervals is an excellent result and a significant predictive success by the exploration team. Our work continues to demonstrate the considerable unrealized economic potential of the Klondike District Property as we unlock and derisk the value for our shareholders."

In 2024 the Company conducted a resource expansion and discovery drill program targeting Stander Zone gold mineralization as outlined in the Company's November 10, 2022 Mineral Resource Estimate ("MRE")¹. A total of 26 holes for 4,160.52m were completed in this overall program divided into phases targeting specific Stander Zone adjacent subareas.

Eleven core holes reported here (EC24-518 to EC24-520, EC24-532, EC24-535, and EC24-38 to EC24-541) tested a 300 meter southeastern strike length for continuity of gold mineralization beyond the 2022 Stander Zone MRE extents. These holes successfully intersected significant intervals of high grade gold mineralization to extend the strike length of the Stander Zone 300 meters to the southeast beyond the 600-meter length of the MRE extents. Summary results are shown in Table 1 and drill hole collar locations are shown in Figure 1.

The intersection lengths reported here are estimated true widths ("ETW")². These 2024 results are not included in the Company's November 10, 2022 Stander Zone mineral resource estimate ("MRE")¹ which was based upon 40 initial holes completed from 2015 through 2021 using a gold price of $1,700 USD and a 0.2 g/t Au cut-off.

Discussion

New understanding of the Stander Zone and deeper drilling in 2024 has demonstrated multiple stacked gold-bearing ‘quartz vein zones' exhibiting along-strike and 35^o dip continuity. New drilling reported in this news release has intersected high grade quartz vein zones continuing 300 meters to the southeast beyond the extent of the Mineral Resource area. This follows the previous news release (see NR 22 October, 2024) reporting extension of mineralization adjacent and beneath the Mineral Resource with similar high gold grades.

The Stander Zone mineralization is associated with a 5 kilometer corridor of mineralization adjacent the major Eldorado Fault now recognized by the Company to be a master control of orogenic gold mineralization within the Klondike District.

The overall objectives of 2024 Klondike District Property drill testing at Stander Zone include:

• Diamond drilling to test for expansion of the Stander Zone mineral resource area, and specifically to follow up high grade (>1 opt Au) gold drill intersections from late 2023; with 7 drill holes still pending.

• Diamond drilling to test for expansion of extents of Gay Gulch Showing gold mineralization; with 6 drill holes still pending.

• Prospecting and drill testing for repeated stacked gold-bearing quartz vein zones predicted by orogenic gold deposit models, targeting potential for deeper gold mineralization.

ABOUT KLONDIKE GOLD CORP.

Klondike Gold is a Vancouver based gold exploration company advancing its 100%-owned Klondike District Gold Project located at Dawson City, Yukon, one of the top mining jurisdictions in the world. The Klondike District Gold Project targets gold associated with district scale orogenic faults along the 55-kilometer length of the famous Klondike Goldfields placer district. Multi-kilometer gold mineralization has been identified at both the Lone Star Zone and Stander Zone, among other targets. The Company has identified a Mineral Resource Estimate of 469,000 Indicated and 112,000 Inferred gold ounces¹, a milestone first for the Klondike District. The Stander Zone ("MRE") was published November 10, 2022 based upon 40 initial holes completed from 2015 through 2021 using a gold price of $1,700 USD and a 0.2 g/t Au cut-off.

The Company is focused on exploration and development of its 727 square kilometer property accessible by scheduled airline and government-maintained roads located on the outskirts of Dawson City, Yukon, within the Tr'ondëk Hwëch'in First Nation traditional territory.
