Klondike Silver Corp. (TSX VENTURE: KS) (the "Company") is pleased
to announce it has received initial results from a late summer work
program at its Connaught Project in Yukon Territory. Excavator
trenching was conducted to enhance exposure and access to high
grade silver veins, in preparation for bulk sampling. Assay results
from 36 rock samples and 116 soil samples collected in September
are now being received and data is being compiled. The program was
done by an exploration team led by Professional Geologist William
Mann.
Preliminary assay results have confirmed three new areas of
mineralization discovered during the program including:
- Sample collected 1.8km south of the No. 4 vein returned 4.13
g/t Au, 406 g/t Ag and 10.4% Pb.
- Two samples collected over 500m from the nearest trenches,
northeast of the No. 7 vein returned 3.98 g/t Au, 201 g/t Ag &
30% Pb, and 1.71 g/t Au, 1705 g/t Ag, & 12.2% Pb.
- A sample collected approximately 700m south of the No. 8 vein
returned 0.874 g/t Au, 312 g/t Ag, & 7.08% Pb.
"These highly anomalous rock samples are significant in that
they were found well beyond the 12 know veins, in areas with very
little outcrop, and located in unglaciated terrain indicating a
local source," comments Company President, Richard Hughes. "As the
primary focus of the program was to prepare existing veins for
potential 2010 bulk sampling, we are extremely encouraged by the
added value these discoveries bring to the project."
Soil geochemistry was conducted to build on previous surveys,
and extends well beyond the existing grid to untested southern and
northern areas of the property. Additional soil sampling will be
done to complete survey coverage of the property.
Aside from proposed bulk sampling, the 2010 exploration program
will include trenching of these new discoveries as well as further
prospecting in the surrounding area.

About the Connaught Property
Previous exploration at the Connaught Property revealed silver,
gold and lead mineralization in 12 veins over an area measuring
roughly 11 kilometres by 4 kilometres. Porphyry and skarn
mineralization is also present in the area. The mineralization is
thought to be related to Cretaceous intrusions, similar to many
other important gold and silver deposits which lie within the
Tintina Gold Belt.
