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
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
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.

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 35o 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.
Figure 2: Location of Stander Zone MRE area and other significant nearby gold showings along the Eldorado Fault.
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.

1The Mineral Resource Estimate for the Klondike District Property was prepared by Marc Jutras, P.Eng., M.A.Sc., Principal, Ginto Consulting Inc., an independent Qualified Person in accordance with the requirements of NI 43-101. The technical report supporting the Mineral Resource Estimate entitled "NI 43-101 Technical Report on the Klondike District Gold Project, Yukon Territory, Canada" has been filed on SEDAR at www.sedarplus.ca effective November 10, 2022. Refer to news release of December 16, 2022.
2 Estimated True Widths for reported vein intercepts are based on oriented core measurements of individual veins where available or measured angles perpendicular to vein margins, and/or 3D models of vein intercepts. The measured and model average "sheeted extensional vein" dip is 35o northeasterly, and typical drill hole dip angle is 55o southwesterly. Other potentially oblique gold-mineralized veins (eg. "quartz breccia veins") may be present. Differences between individual ETWs and down-hole interval lengths may vary between drill holes depending on drill hole azimuth and inclination, variations in vein zone strike and dip, and overall geometries of the different vein systems.
