VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA-(Nov. 5, 2009) - Klondike Silver Corp. (TSX VENTURE:KS) (the "Company") is pleased to announce results from an earlier drill program and reevaluation of the Corkill-Lawson silver project. The property is located approximately 15 kilometers southeast of the town of Gowganda, Ontario. Drill hole HCL0701, which intersected 2,393 g/t Ag, 0.31% Co, 0.46% Cu and 0.17% Ni over 0.41 meters from 99.97 to 100.38 meters, will be the primary focus of the upcoming program. The Gowganda area was the second largest silver producer in Ontario after the Cobalt area, having produced 60,186,782 oz Ag up until 1969.
"We are pleased to announce the Company is moving forward with the Corkill-Lawson silver project. Recent assessment work completed on the property clearly highlights its potential," comments Company President, Richard Hughes. "A review of previous drill data, including the high grade intercept mentioned, has been completed andwill guide future exploration efforts".
Original exploration by the Company was conducted to identify silver-cobalt-nickel veins hosted in and proximal to a Nipissing diabase dike that strikes north-south through the Corkill and Lawson townships. Drill targets were defined on the basis of VTEM airborne geophysical anomalies in conjunction with targeting mature differentiated diabase similar to the diabase hosted silver deposits of the Gowganda area.
The Company would also like to announce it underground work in the Silvana mine, in British Columbia is progressing well. A drift is currently being put into to what the Company believes is the western extension of the Main Lode structure, the controlling structure responsible for the majority of production in the Slocan silver camp. Underground drilling is also underway at the eastern end of the Silvana mine.
