Klondike Silver Corp. (TSX VENTURE:KS) (the "Company") is pleased to announce it
has commenced a diamond drilling program and re-evaluation in an easily
accessible, partly-explored area near former productive stopes. Test mining is
planned for this area on and just below the main 4625 Level of the Silvana Mine.
The program is taking place as the Company is also extending a drift at the west
end of the 4625 level into the recently discovered lode structure (see press
release October 7, 2009). Upon completion of the western drift extension the
drill will be moved to drill into the lode structure to test for mineralization.


The Company has identified an area close to and updip of the East Decline (main
access to the lower levels of the Silvana Mine) which in the past received
limited diamond drilling partly because of its proximity to this main production
haulageway. Earlier drilling shows intermittent narrow widths of high grade
mineralization in an overall area of several thousand square feet. This occurs
in the Main Lode structure between more consistently mineralized areas.


In-fill diamond drilling is planned for the gaps between the narrow intercepts
to identify possible mineralized areas amenable to small-scale mining.
Preliminary work has been completed including rehabilitation in both the 4625
East Drift and East Decline accesses with rock removal in the latter and
re-establishing electric, compressed air and water services. Total drilling
planned is 600 feet in up to 8 holes drilled from the 4625 East Drift and the
East Decline. The intent is to explore at or above the elevation of the main
4625 Level so that no sinking would be necessary to access any remove
mineralized material selected for milling.


Test mining would be by via cross-cutting to and/or raising relatively short
distances (less than 100 feet) to the Main Lode structure in any identified
areas of interest. As with the 4755 Level program previously announced grade
control would be paramount, to include extensive channel and muck sampling to
identify the economic production area(s). Similarly the muck from the
development would be evaluated and stockpiled. On-site assaying of samples is
available by fire and wet methods and by a newly commissioned Niton XRF
analyzer. The Niton analyzer enables rapid multiple determinations of metal
contents in conventionally-prepared samples. Turnaround time and quantity of
data available to the mining operation are improved, both relevant factors in
decision-making on a daily basis. Personnel using the XRF device are certified
by NRCAN. Niton analyzer results are for in-house purposes only and are not NI
43-101 compliant.
