Klondike Silver Corp. -- Connaught Update

Klondike Silver Corp. (TSX-V: KS) is pleased to provide an update
regarding the Connaught property, a road accessible silver-lead
prospect located west of Dawson City in Yukon Territory. Work at
this property is being done through a 50/50 joint venture with ATAC
Resources Ltd.
The 2008 exploration project at the Connaught property had four
main objectives -- all of which have been successfully
achieved:
1) to ready known silver and lead-rich veins for future bulk
sampling;
2) to establish grades and geometries of known veins for future
diamond drilling;
3) to discover additional veins in poorly exposed areas where
soil geochemical and/or geophysical surveys had identified
potential; and,
4) to expand soil geochemical coverage to recognize more vein
targets in areas that had received little or no previous
exploration.
Assays are pending for approximately 4000 soil samples and 280
rock, chip and channel samples, collected during the 2008 program.
The soil sampling covered approximately 10 sq km, bringing total
coverage to about 39 sq km or 60% of the property. The various
types of rock samples were mostly taken from bedrock exposed in
four open cuts dug along veins where bulk sampling is expected to
be done in 2009 or from 44 exploration trenches, which exposed four
new vein zones.
The Connaught property has seen small-scale historical
production of silver and lead from galena-rich lenses in veins.
Klondike Silver contemplates extracting bulk samples of similar
mineralization and shipping those samples directly to a smelter or
processing them at its mill in Sandon, BC to produce a concentrate
for smelting. The Company is currently conducting a bulk sampling
program on silver- and lead-rich veins at its wholly owned Stump
property in southeastern Yukon.
The work at the Connaught property is being supervised by Bill
Wengzynowski, P Eng. who is the qualified person for the project as
defined by National Instrument 43-101. Mr. Wengzynowski has
reviewed the technical content of this news release.
