Business Wire
Klondike Gold Corp. (TSX.V:KG) (“Klondike” or the “Company”) is
pleased to announce that it is proceeding with its proposal to
acquire a majority interest in the issued and outstanding shares of
Klondike Star Mineral Corporation ("KSMC"), a widely held, private
Delaware company, announced in the Company's news release of March
1, 2012. Klondike Gold is offering each shareholder of KSMC the
opportunity to exchange each share of KSMC they hold for 0.25
Klondike Gold shares. This Offer to Exchange (the "Offer") is
subject to shareholders of KSMC tendering for exchange a minimum of
51% of the outstanding shares of KSMC. With a total of 68,653,461
shares of KSMC issued and outstanding, Klondike Gold may issue up
to 17,163,365 shares if 100% of the shares of KSMC are tendered for
exchange.
Klondike Gold's principal focus has been the exploration and
development of a group of 974 quartz claims situated in the Yukon
and covering an area of approximately 185 square kilometres,
including claims underlying a large part of the Bonanza-Eldorado
Creeks catchment area credited with providing over 50% of the
historic alluvial (placer) gold production from the Klondike gold
field. Klondike Gold holds a 22.5% interest in these claims
directly and another 50% interest is held by Lonestar Gold Inc., a
private company, which is 80% owned by Klondike Gold.
KSMC's principal assets are its holdings of the remaining
interests in these 974 quartz claims, 27.5% of which it holds
directly, along with a 20% interest in Lonestar Gold Inc.
Additionally, KSMC owns directly a further 368 quartz claims
covering an area of approximately 61 square kilometres that are
adjacent and/or contiguous to the base group of 974 quartz
claims.
The objective of the Offer is to acquire control of KSMC and
thereby consolidate the title to this package of a total of 1,342
quartz claims covering approximately 246 square kilometres part of
which underlie 70% of the Bonanza-Eldorado Creeks catchment area of
the historic Klondike gold fields to enhance the ability to finance
the further development of these claims.
In addition to the interest in the quartz claims described
above, KSMC also holds title to 188 placer claims in the Yukon
extending approximately 60 miles along the Indian River at the
confluence with Montana Creek, subject to a 5% gross production
royalty payable by KSMC to the vendors. In 2012, by way of a
Royalty and Lease Agreement, KSMC granted an exclusive lease of the
claims and the mining rights thereto, including the water licence
and the mining permit held by KSMC, to Klondike Gold.
Peter Tallman, President and CEO of Klondike Gold, commented:
"Klondike Gold's vision to create a successful exploration
enterprise in the Yukon first requires consolidation of the
property titles into one business entity. The addition into
Klondike Gold’s portfolio of KSMC's interests in the key
Bonanza-Eldorado area mineral claims, as well as the other KSMC
mineral claims nearby, plus the alluvial placer claims creates a
combination with the threshold needed to attain that vision."
The offer is being made by Klondike Gold as an exempt take-over
bid under Canadian securities regulations and is subject to
acceptance for filing by the TSX Venture Exchange.
