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

or non flow-through common share and one non flow-through non-transferable share
purchase warrant entitling the holder to purchase one additional non-flow
through common share for a period of two years at a price of $0.10 per share.
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.
