Vancouver, British Columbia, February 24, 2015, Klondike Gold Corp. (TSX.V:KG) (“Klondike Gold” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that the Board has approved a $800,000 exploration program for 2015 focused on the Lone Star and Dominion Properties, Yukon Territory. The program consists of the collection of target specific geophysics, soil geochemistry, trenching, plus prospecting and mapping. In addition, the Company has budgeted for an initial test of approximately 1,000 meters of diamond drilling contingent upon continued positive detailed exploration results. Klondike Gold has working capital of approximately $1.2 million and is fully funded for 2015. Field work is expected to begin in May.
In 2014 the Company interpreted a previously unrecognized fault system from historical airborne geophysical surveys. Follow-up prospecting in 2014 identified gold-enriched quartz veins with exceptional grade at Boulder Lode and Nugget prospects on the Lone Star property (see News Release dated January 14, 2015) and similar gold-enriched quartz veins over a 700 meter extent at Hunker Dome prospect on the Dominion property (see News Release dated January 19, 2015).
The plan for 2015 exploration includes targeted ground magnetic surveying over a number of areas commencing in May. This survey is intended to identify areas with a high density of faulting and brecciation, considered favourable for deposition of gold. Orthophotography of various zones will also commence in May. Soil or similar geochemical surveying will target faulted areas identified by detailed magnetic surveying in June or later. Other work including prospecting and mapping will follow to develop a thorough local geoscience database upon which to base a decision for testing with drilling. A diamond drill rig is expected to be mobilized in the late part of the 2015 season. The objective of this initial drill program will be to identify the controls to gold mineralization and quartz vein distribution.
