Vancouver, British Columbia, October 26, 2015, Klondike Gold Corp. ('Klondike Gold' or the 'Company') (TSX.V:KG) is pleased to report receipt of assays from the remaining fifteen diamond drill holes of nineteen in total on the Lone Star property located on the outskirts of Dawson City, Yukon Territory. Results from the first four holes were reported October 15, 2015. Klondike Gold owns a 100% interest in 1,406 quartz claims and 14 crown grants covering 250 square kilometers underlying the western half of the Klondike placer goldfields.

Peter Tallman, President of Klondike Gold states 'The small 2015 reconnaissance drilling program is complete. New gold discoveries at Gay Gulch, reported below, and at the Nugget Zone (reported October 15, 2015) demonstrate the Klondike district has exploration potential for vein-hosted gold mineralization with interesting grades and widths. The additional positive results from Gay Gulch opens up the potential for many further Klondike 'lode' discoveries.

2015 Drilling Summary

2015 exploration drilling tested several zones including Nugget (EC15-01 to EC15-06), Lower Nugget (EC15-07), Gay Gulch (EC15-08 to EC15-13), and various in the Buckland area (EC15-14 to EC15-19) with outcrop or sub-crop quartz veining containing visible gold. Core logging results show that individual quartz veins with visible gold can be 0.05 to 1.0 meters in thickness and that 'zones' are comprised of several to many related quartz veins ('vein arrays') occurring over widths of up to ~10 meters true thickness and which exhibit along-strike and down-dip continuity. The volume of quartz veining relative to wallrock, expressed as '% quartz veining' or '% QV' is an important exploration indicator relating to gold grade. Property-scale exploration focussed on locating near-surface volumes of gold mineralized quartz veining, and this objective will continue for 2016.

Gay Gulch Drill Results

A new discovery of a gold-bearing quartz veining was made near Gay Gulch along Eldorado Creek in drill hole EC15-10. A 2.8 meter zone including a 0.5 meter quartz vein was intersected that contains coarse clots of gold up to 2.5 cm in size (see PHOTO HERE). After removing all the coarse visible gold clots from the assay sample, the remaining split interval assayed 420 g/t Au over 0.5 meter, within an extended interval that averaged 75.6 g/t Au over 2.8 meters.

The Gay Gulch Zone was tested from pairs of holes at 50 meter spaced intervals along a 100 meter total length. Each drill pad had a -50 and a -85 dipping hole collared from it. All holes were drilled at 210 azimuth. Along the strike of the locally sub-cropping Gay Gulch quartz veining, holes EC15-08 and EC15-09 tested the easterly end (section 950E), holes EC15-10 and EC15-11 tested the middle (section 1000E), and holes EC15-12 and EC15-13 tested the westerly end (section 1050E). (A plan map of drill holes plus section maps plus assay interval table is located HERE).

Drilling encountered brittle felsic volcanics, fractured and cut by a quartz vein array. The quartz veining is related to a prominent (magnetic low) fault that extends for 2,600 meters from Gay Gulch. The Gay Gulch drilling was done adjacent to Eldorado Creek on the right limit bank of Eldorado placer claim 36. By 1900, a 34 ounce gold nugget had been discovered on placer claim 36 and a larger 72 ounce nugget was discovered on placer claim 34 located 250 meters downstream. The Gay Gulch fault transects both of these placer claims.

Summary of Gay Gulch Drilling Assay Results

Peter Tallman states 'Drilling encountered spectacular clots of gold in bedrock quartz veining in EC15-10 on a well-defined fault; one of a class of faults we believe is a primary control on gold mineralization in the region. Not only does the Gay Gulch discovery validate the Company's exploration model, it opens up a way to target other gold-bearing quartz veins throughout our extensive property holdings.

Nugget Zone Drill Results

The first four of six holes of the drill program were reported previously (see News Release dated October 15, 2015, HERE). Holes EC15-01 through EC15-04 intersected a quartz vein array with interesting results up to 5.3 g/t Au over 7.6 meters in hole EC15-03. Holes EC15-05 and EC15-06 were collared in front of this zone, and contained fewer veins in the lower vein array to meaningfully carry a weighted average.

Lower Nugget Zone Drill Results

One hole (EC15-07) tested an area of outcropping quartz veining containing numerous sights of visible gold in mafic volcanics. The hole intersected a quartz vein at the target depth containing visible gold, however there is no structure present nor is there an array of quartz veining present. The interval of interest in the hole occurs from 5.50 to 8.35 meters downhole however the few veins in the 'array' do not have sufficient grade to carry a weighted average.

Buckland Zone Drill Results

Six holes (EC15-14 to EC15-19) tested individual quartz vein targets within a 1000 square meter area collectively known as the Buckland Zone. The zone is characterized by extensive fracturing developed in mafic volcanics. The fractures commonly contain quartz veins, many with visible gold. The area is an intense, widespread magnetic low, interpreted as a large and long-lived zone of faulting. It is believed that faulting is synchronous with gold mineralization, but continued post-mineralization movement disrupted the earlier mineralized quartz veins.

Methodology and Data Treatment

Assay intervals herein report the weighted average gold grade for the interval using the quartz vein assays only. Samples logged as wallrock are assigned a 0 g/t Au grade for values up to 300 ppb Au for the purposes of weighted averaging. This is a determination based on examination of the plus versus minus fractions in the metallic screen assay results. The mineralized vein array interval in the -45 dipping holes is approximately the true thickness. The true thickness of the mineralized vein array interval in the -85 dipping holes is approximately 0.75 times the mineralized interval.
