Vancouver, B.C. � Kaminak Gold Corporation (KAM: TSX-V) is pleased to report the company has staked 210 additional claims (4,250 hectares) in the emerging White Gold District of the Yukon. The newly acquired claims tie-on to the southwest corner of the Company�s Coffee property and extend south and west to the Company�s Cream property. Kaminak now holds title or has title pending to over 13,000 hectares (32,000 acres) in the White District.
These claims were staked in order to cover the possible extensions of newly defined soil anomalies on the Coffee property. Kaminak has now received results for over 2,250 soil samples from across the property, resulting in the definition of eight (8) separate gold-in-soil trends occurring over a length of 11 kilometres. Several of these trends remain open to expansion. From west to east these trends are named; Espresso, Kona, Latte, Supremo, Double Double, Mocha, Arabica and Java. With the exception of Supremo, all of these trends were identified in this year�s soil sampling program. Of note, the Latte trend extends over 800m long by 50-100m wide, averages 603 ppb Au along the entire length and is open to the west. Maps showing the location and intensity of these trends are now available on Kaminak�s website, www.kaminak.com.
Kaminak is currently awaiting rock assays from 494 chip samples taken from shallow trenches which were dug over priority gold-in-soil anomalies at the Supremo and Latte trends. Results are expected in the coming weeks. To date, only 50 rock assay results from trenching have been received by Kaminak successfully identifying gold surface mineralization on the Supremo trend and grading 2.3 g/t Au over 21m (see Kaminak news release dated August 13th, 2009). Additional trenching is ongoing at the Kona and Espresso trends.
Once all trench results have been received, Kaminak will proceed with an initial Diamond drill program over priority targets in the spring of 2010. Expected winter weather conditions will force the current field program of trenching and soil sampling to be completed before the end of September.
A total of 2,250 soil samples have been analysed so far during the 2009 season and 81 of these samples yielded results > 75 ppb Au (highest threshold). Overall, results ranged from background (< 15 ppb Au) to a high of 3,156 ppb Au or 3.156 g/t Au. Gold-in-soil anomalies are also associated with high arsenic (As) and antimony (Sb). Two hundred and twenty five samples yielded arsenic values >100 ppm As (range 1 to 967 ppm) and twenty two samples assayed >8 ppm Sb (range 0 to 117 ppm).
QA / QC
Kaminak�s disclosure of a technical or scientific nature in this press release has been reviewed and approved by Dr. Rob Carpenter, Ph.D., P.Geo., Kaminak�s President and CEO, who serves as a Qualified Person under the definition of National Instrument 43-101. Samples were shipped to Acme Laboratories of Vancouver, B.C. for analyses. Samples were crushed and pulverized using a mild steel ring and puck mill. 30 gram aliquots were then weighed into fire assay crucibles and the samples are placed in a cupel and fired at 950 degrees Celsius. After cooling, 10 ml of HCl is added in order to dissolve gold particles. Solutions are analysed for Au on a Varian 735 ICP-ES. Certified reference materials are inserted into the batch and results were verified by a British Columbia Certified assayer. The Coffee property represents an early stage exploration property and does not contain any mineral resources as defined by National Instrument 43-101.
