Klondike Silver Samples 53 oz/ton Ag, 6.38% Pb, 10.49% Zn and Announces 2010 Exploration Plans for Stenson Property
November 10 2009 - 10:58PM
Marketwired
Klondike Silver Corp. (the "Company") (TSX VENTURE: KS) is pleased
to announce that based on results from trenching and sampling in
the Jackson basin area in 2009, an aggressive exploration program
is planned in the northern part of the basin for the 2010 field
season. Work in 2009 focused in the area of the past-producing
Jackson mine. Little work was done on the large claim group
immediately to the north, referred to as the Stenson property and
including the western extension of the Bonton and Dardenelles
veins. Past work on the Stenson by Klondike Silver has included a
soil geochemical program, a ground magnetometer-VLF-EM survey and
trenching.
Soil and geophysical surveys confirmed the east to northeasterly
trend of Stenson mineralization and helped direct the trenching
program which exposed a silver-lead-zinc vein. Analyses of selected
samples of the vein returned values up to 53 oz/ton Ag, 6.38% Pb
and 10.49% Zn.
Work in 2009 extended the soil and geophysical surveys to the
west, towards the Bonton and Dardenelle showings. These deposits
are interpreted to be on strike with the Stenson and are unusually
rich with reported production (BC Minfile data base) of 760 tons
containing 207 oz/ton Ag, 27.5% Pb and 0.6% Zn (Dardenelles) and 13
tons containing 229 oz/ton Ag and 22.3% Pb (Bonton). Proposed
exploration is intended to focus on the western slopes of Jackson
Creek between Stenson and Bonton showings. This work will include
some fill-in soil geochemical and geophysical surveys followed by
trenching in an attempt to expose the mineralized structure. The
Company is encouraged by the high grades of the mineralized
showings on east side of the property, the continuity and strength
of the structure where exposed, and its similarity to the past
producing Jackson lode.
Further to the Company's news release of October 27, 2009, the
Company announces that it has amended its private placement of up
to 2,500,000 units for total proceeds of up to $162,500. The
financing will consist of flow through units priced at $0.065 per
unit. Each of the units will consist of one flow through common
share and one non-flow through, non-transferable share purchase
warrant entitling the holder to purchase one additional common
share for five years at a price of $0.10 per share in the first two
years and $0.15 per share for the remaining three years. Proceeds
from the private placement will be used for exploration
expenditures.
The Company is also pleased to announce that it has arranged for
a private placement of up to 12,000,000 units for total proceeds of
up to $960,000. The financing will consist of flow through units
priced at $0.08 per unit and non-flow through units priced at
$0.065 per unit. Each of the units will consist of one flow through
or non-flow through common share and one non-flow through,
non-transferable share purchase warrant entitling the holder to
purchase one additional common share for five years at a price of
$0.10 per share in the first two years and $0.15 per share for the
remaining three years. In accordance with Exchange policies,
finders' fees may be paid on the funds raised. The private
placement is subject to regulatory approval and the proceeds will
be used for exploration programs and general working capital.
