VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, Aug 19, 2008 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX) -- KDSME | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- Klondike Gold Corp. (TSX VENTURE: KG | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating) is pleased to announced that the board of directors of joint venture partner Klondike Star Mineral Corp. has recently reported on the determination of probable mineral reserves sufficient to support a mining decision.

The probable mineral reserve identified to date, based on drilling of over 600 holes on 60% of the Indian River property, calibrated by bulk sampling, is in the order of 66,000 crude ounces of gold. Gold was recovered from nearly 100% of the holes in the main target area. The target zone forms a wedge that is 300 meters/984 feet at the beginning and broadens to a width of over 1,500 meters/4,921 feet. To date, the mineralized zone extends over a distance of more than 3 kilometers/1.9 miles) and remains open to expansion to the east and south. Gold is uneven but consistently distributed across this broad area with gold values present across the entire width of the property. The fineness of the gold assayed at over 82%. If mining results are typical of the industry's experience in the Klondike, the extent of mineralization could be higher by as much as 20-30%.

Hans Boge, P.Eng., President of Klondike Star Mineral Corp., says: "At current and projected gold prices, even this relatively modest gold deposit is worthy of development. Furthermore, Klondike Star is already fully permitted to develop and operate the Indian River gold mine."

The Company's development plan is to phase into production starting with large-scale test mining. The approach offers financial, tax, risk management and operational advantages. Stripping of the organic ground-cover and non-gold bearing gravels is currently scheduled to commence late fall/early winter. The mining plan designed specifically for the Indian River ground is scaleable allowing for substantial increases in annual gold production over time.

Among the advantages of the Indian River property are that it can be brought into production quickly. It lends itself to environmentally responsible mining methods already employed successfully in the Klondike that engineers have refined to reduce energy requirements and minimize operating costs. The Company also has camp facilities and some of the required equipment on the project site.

Klondike Star Mineral Corp. is currently in negotiations for required financing of the mine.

Klondike Gold Corp. is entitled to receive a 5% royalty on all gold or other minerals produced from joint venture Indian River placer properties with Klondike Star Minerals Corp.

The property has never been mined or subjected to modern recovery methods and as of April 29, 2008, all the operating permits necessary for Indian River mine development and gold production have been received. The goal now is to develop a large-scale placer mine.
