KG Klondike Gold Corp

Klondike Gold Corp. (TSX VENTURE:KG) (the 'Company') is pleased to announce that
its application process for the historic Roman mine areas of Lagares-Castromil
(Company News Release, Nov. 22, 2012) and Balazar (Company News Release, Feb.
13, 2013) has been completed and that the Company now holds the exclusive rights
to explore for gold, silver, copper, zinc, lead, tin, and tungsten in the 80 km2
Lagares-Castromil and the 194 km2 Balazar exploration concessions. The terms of
the licenses are for 3 years, renewable for an additional 2 years. In connection
with the Lagares-Castromil License the Company obtained a substantial amount of
exploration, environmental and metallurgical data including a 1997 technical
economical Class III feasibility study in which the Castromil Mine was
considered positive with a gold price of $325/Oz. to $375/Oz. over the five-year
mine life.


The Portuguese government publication Mineral Resources of Portugal 2012 states
statistics regarding Castromil and Serra da Quinta: 


Two fields were defined: Covas de Castromil and Serra da Quinta, separated by
the Sousa River and the Oporto-Pocinho railway. For the first of these fields,
proved reserves of 2,147,000 tons have been determined with an average grade of
1.9 g/t Au (cut-off of 0.5 g/t) and probable reserves of 270,000 tons with 1.8
g/t Au. For Serra da Quinta, probable reserves are put at 743,000 tons with 2.8
g/t Au.


The Class III Feasability Study, Castromil Gold Mine, Portugal for Connary
Minerals PLC (1997) states the following about the Castromil and Serra da
Quinta's additional potential under the heading "Life of Mine":


The life of the mine is limited by current drilling for resource deliniation
that almost certainly excludes potetial significant additional resources. For
example, geological interpretations indicate possible or may exist as
structurally-controlled, down-dip and lateral extensions of the measured and
indicated ore currently defined. The main reason for the limited resource model
has been the lenght and type of boreholes drilled thus far on the property
(mostly short percussion holes). This in no manner of form reduces the
confidance level in the geological resource statement but instead highlites
upside potential for additional extraction.


About the adjacent Serra da Quinta deposit the study states:

Upside potential for mining at Serra da Quinta also exists; preliminary
estimates suggest a potential tonnage 31 % larger than the 2.42 Mt defined for
Castromil and a higher average grade at 2.71g/t gold against 1.89g/t at
Castromil. 


Cautionary Note: The results quoted above are relevant to further exploration
and development of Castromile and Serra da Quinta which the company will be
undertaking. A qualified person under the direction of the company has not yet
done sufficient work to classify the historical estimates as current mineral
resources or reserves and the issuer is not treating historical estimates as
current mineral reserves or resources. Further review and work is required
before these results can be relied upon.


The Company is encouraged by the consistency and quality of the historic data
and the exploration results posted by previous Operators which are accessible at
the Portuguese Department of Mines and Energy. About 12,000 meters of drilling
have been done on Castromil and Serra da Quinta.The drill core is in good
condition and securely stored at a Goverment geological facility in Porto.
Substantial amounts of channel and profile samples were taken as well.


In addition to the considerable amount of exploration and metalurgical data
available, the Portugese Department of Geology possesses comprehensive
enviromental base line and impact studies from 1998 reports that cover the
operation of the overall Castromil Mine. 


Klondike Gold Corp has a capable team of consulting Geologists in Portugal where
it operates through its wholly owned subsidiary, Klondike Gold Corp. Portugal.
