Klondike Silver Corp. (TSX VENTURE: KS) (the "Company") is pleased
to report that it has received assays for a number of samples taken
from a number of recently completed trenches in the Jackson Basin.
The Jackson Basin Area, which includes the historic Jackson Mine,
was discovered in 1892. Mining continued until 1955, followed by
intermittent operations until 1975.
"We are encouraged by the high assay values found in a number of
trenches, especially from trenches 8 and 10 which are believed to
be the eastern extension of the Jackson lode structure," comments
Klondike Silver President, Richard Hughes. "Results received from
this program and other recently completed trenches will be used to
guide our next phase of exploration."

Trenching Summary:
- Trench 3 uncovered a 20cm diameter boulder of mainly galena
which contained 72.42% Pb, 2.41%Zn, 2895g/tonne Ag. (JB09-09).
Trench 3 is located west of the Jackson mine workings.
- Trench 5 had a fault zone with samples assaying up to 17.59%
Pb, 1.12% Zn, 687g/tonne Ag. (JB09-T05-R03) A thin quartz vein
offset by the fault contained 8.13% Pb, 3.91% Zn, 377g/tonne Ag.
(JB09-T05-R04).
- Trench 10, 8m along strike from the mineralized zone in Trench
8, showed variable mineralization. Samples from the zone yielded
values up to 5.01% Pb, 2.40% Zn and 124g/tonne Ag. The zone is
believed to be the eastern extension of the Jackson lode structure
which mined 5847 tonnes at average grades of 14.65%Pb, 10.92%Zn and
531g/tonne Ag.
- Trench 8 revealed a shear zone approximately 2.6m wide with
extensional quartz veins hosting lead and zinc mineralization. Chip
samples across the zone assayed up to 6.85% Pb, 6.42% Zn and 204
g/tonne Ag (see table below):
