Klondike Gold Announces Successful Acquisition of Klondike Star

VANCOUVER, British Columbia–(BUSINESS WIRE)–

Klondike Gold Corp. (KG.V) (“Klondike Gold” or the “Company”) has been informed by the depositary that as of June 13, 2014, a total of 49,165,463 common shares (“KSMC Shares”) of Klondike Star Mineral Corp. (“KSMC”), a private Delaware company, representing an aggregate of 71% of the outstanding KSMC Shares, had been validly tendered to Klondike Gold’s offer (the “Offer”) to acquire all of the outstanding KSMC Shares. The Offer has now formally expired and will not be extended. Upon completion of the KSMC Shares acquisition, Klondike Gold will own and control 71% of the outstanding KSMC Shares.

Pursuant to the Offer, holders of KSMC Shares will receive 0.25 of one common share of Klondike Gold (each a “Klondike Gold Share”) for each KSMC Share tendered. As a result of having over 70% of the KSMC shares tendered under the Offer, Klondike Gold also announces that it intends to settle US $1,077,894 of debt owed by KSMC to related parties. In settlement of these debts the KSMC related party creditors will receive an aggregate of 21,557,880 warrants to purchase shares of Klondike Gold, exercisable at CDN $0.10 per share for 30 months from issuance subject to TSXV approval.

The purpose of the Offer was to enable Klondike Gold to consolidate ownership of the gold properties in the Yukon by acquiring beneficial ownership of all outstanding KSMC Shares. Klondike Gold intends to implement a subsequent share acquisition transaction to acquire the balance of the outstanding KSMC shares. Upon this acquisition, Klondike Gold will beneficially own 100% of KSMC.

Peter Tallman, CEO of Klondike Gold stated, “We are very pleased with the results of the Offer, the culmination of nearly two years of work. Klondike Gold will proceed to acquire the remaining KSMC shares as soon as possible. I would like to thank Rene Hussey, CEO of KSMC for his work and cooperation throughout the offering and tendering process.”
