Klondike Gold Corp.: Joint Venture Sets Stage for Placer Gold Production on Indian River Project

Klondike Gold Corp. (TSX VENTURE:KG) (the "Company") is pleased to announce that
construction work is under way at the Indian River Project under the terms of a
newly signed Joint Venture Agreement with privately held 46799 Yukon Inc. As
previously announced (July 12, 2012), Klondike Gold entered into the Joint
Venture (JV) with 46799 Yukon Inc. to further explore and develop the Indian
River mining project. The fully permitted placer gold property lies within the
Indian River Valley - Yukon's largest gold producer in recent years - and is
accessible by road (about a 75-minute drive) from Dawson City.


As part of the Joint Venture Agreement, Klondike Gold will provide the property
and an extensive exploration database, while 46799 Yukon Inc. will provide the
equipment and initial capital to the JV. Once these contributions are made, each
partner will have a 50% participating interest in the JV and ongoing operations.
An operating company has been formed to operate the mine under the supervision
of an experienced placer-mining team appointed by the JV partners. A preliminary
construction camp is being set up while the permanent camp site is prepared. A
track-mounted auger drill has started drilling for mine planning and
grade-control purposes. Two Caterpillar D9N bulldozers have arrived on the
property and will start on-site preparation and overburden stripping while other
mining and processing equipment is mobilized to the property. Stripped
overburden gravels and sterile gravel layers will be used to improve the
internal road system and for the building of an airfield, thereby improving
project infrastructure without additional operating or construction cost. 


The proposed Mine Plan calls for 50-ton trucks to be loaded by 50-ton Excavators
with material prepared by the D9N bulldozers. Mined pay gravels will be
stockpiled at a modular-design processing plant consisting of an EL-Jay MRS200
Metal Recovery System, which uses a 6-meter-long double-deck vibratory screen
powered by a 5.9-litre Cummins diesel engine as a primary unit. A Rotary Screw
Gold Machine 200 Fine Gold Recovery unit will provide secondary processing and
serve as an intermittent recovery unit.


The processing plant will be fed by a front-end loader via a portable
feeder/conveyor connected to a hopper. Once set-up is completed and pay gravels
are stockpiled, the plant is expected to initially process 1,500 m3 per day, to
be increased to 3,000 m3 during the second half of the 2013 mining season.


The partners will focus their initial efforts on only 10% of the 188 claims
permitted to be mined. Recent staking has added two additional placer leases
totaling 3 miles adjacent to the drilled property for the future benefit of the
JV. Once converted into claims, this ground will increase the Indian River
project to a total of 220 claims.
