VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - 10/26/09) - Klondike Gold Corp. (the "Company")(TSX-V:KG - News) is pleased to announce it is commencing drilling on the Clubine property, located approximately 5 kilometers north of Salmo, British Columbia. The Clubine property is a past producing precious metal-lead-zinc property wholly owned by Klondike Gold Corp. Mineralization occurs as a number of quartz and quartz-carbonate precious and base-metal veins in the upper 500 metres of the Hall Formation and lower part of the Elise Formation, in the Keystone Mountain area. The old workings are on five levels; quartz veins in the uppermost level have elevated lead-zinc values whereas the lower levels have higher gold values. In 1989, diamond drilling intersected gold-bearing quartz veins and silicified zones beneath the No. 5 level of the Clubine-Comstock (082FSW200) occurrence (Cooke, 1990). Gold occurs in the vein quartz and also within adjacent broad silicified and pyritic zones. Based on results from the 1989 work, the Company is drilling both above and below the Number 5 level for gold zones discovered in underground workings and to determine strike and depth of surface mineralized structures.
The qualified person for the purpose of National Instrument 43-101 is Dr. Trygve Hoy, PEng, who has read and agreed with the technical information in this news release.
