KS Klondike Silver Corp

Klondike Silver Gold Corp. (TSX VENTURE: KS) (the "Company") is pleased to report that it has aggressively staked new mineral properties in and around the Sandon Silver Camp of south-central British Columbia. The newly expanded land package now encompasses more than 4,500 hectares and includes 25 past-producing mines and a fully permitted 100-tonne-per-day flotation mill.

Klondike Silver is by far the dominant landholder in the Slocan Camp, which has produced more than 24 million ounces of silver plus by-product base metals since the late 1800s. The Company's holdings consist of 2,261 hectares of crown-granted mineral claims and 22,852 hectares of mineral claims, with new additions as follows.

- Corrigan Mine Group: 145 hectares were added adjacent to the active and promising Jackson Mine claims to cover three past-producers. The Corrigan Mine was known for its high grades (16,043.71 g/t silver, 34.1% lead and 2.6% zinc). The others are the Rio Mine (8,025 g/t silver, 31.1% lead and 6.0% zinc) and the Silver Bell Mine (5,130 g/t silver and 45.8% lead).

- Hewitt Mine Area: 956 hectares of new ground was staked adjacent to the Company's 41 crown-granted claims.

- Silverton Creek Area: 951 hectares of new claims were staked, including the past-producing Jennie Lind, Canadian and Ivanhoe Mines on Silver Ridge. This area also covers the Iron Mask silver-lead-zinc-gold showing near the valley bottom.

Klondike Silver's exploration efforts in and around the Sandon Silver Camp are focused on reviving the most promising historic mines near the existing mill and exploring a highly prospective land package focused on five main project areas.

The newly expanded, contiguous land package extends from the heights of Silver Ridge (Idaho Peak, Selkirk Peak and Sandon Peak) to the valley bottom at Sandon, and up and over Payne Mountain north to Three Forks and beyond.

The Company also announces an amendment to and the closing of a private placement previously announced April 21, 2009. The total number of units has been increased from 10,000,000 to 11,040,332 units for total proceeds of $662,420.

The financing has been fully subscribed and the Company is pleased to announce the closing of this private placement. The proceeds of the private placement will be used for exploration programs, property option payments and general working capital.
