While the focus of Klondike Gold Corp. is on developing the hard-rock source of the famous Klondike Gold Rush, and will remain so for the foreseeable future, the Portuguese window of opportunity is too attractive to pass over.  Klondike Gold's management has many years experience of working in foreign jurisdictions and has quickly moved to obtain Portuguese mining concession licenses without compromising its ability to advance its Yukon project which has its own historic significance potential. 

So what is a junior Canadian Exploration company with a history of working in the Yukon doing in Portugal?  Being in the right place at the right time is the short answer.  The long answer touches on the rich historic mining activity which predates the Romans, the rich geological setting, and the current recent need for European Union Countries to open its many exploration opportunities to the Western World.
