KS Klondike Silver Corp

Klondike Silver Corp. (TSX VENTURE:KS) (the "Company") is pleased to announce a
significant exploration program has commenced at its Connaught Project (50-50
Joint Venture with ATAC Resources Ltd.). The program will continue to expand on
the highly successful soil geochemical programs of the past three years, as well
as follow up with prospecting and hand trenching in areas of multi-element
anomalies. Emphasis in 2010 will give equal weight to gold in addition to
silver, which has been the main focus of recent programs. The gold potential of
the property has been known for some time, however, the very high grade silver-
lead veins have seen the greatest exploration effort. 


The Connaught property lies in the headwaters of the 60 Mile placer gold
district, within the Tintina Gold Belt, and at the northwestern end of the White
Gold District. The Yukon has seen increasing interest as a gold exploration
target in the past few years. Great success has been achieved by Underworld
Resources at their White Gold project, and by ATAC Resources at their RAU gold
project, along with many other high potential gold properties in the region. 


"Klondike Silver believes the project may have significant untested gold
potential in addition to further high grade silver veins. The Connaught is a
large well mineralized property that continues to deliver new discoveries by
prospecting and soil geochemistry," commented Company President, Richard Hughes.



Mineralization at Connaught is intrusion related, with 14 narrow polymetallic
veins discovered to date over an area of 11km by 4km. Late Cretaceous age
granitic intrusions are present on the property, with metamorphic country rocks
of the Yukon Tanana terrane. Hornfels and skarn zones present on the property
may hold potential for bulk tonnage gold deposits. A thrust fault mapped on the
property should also be investigated for enhanced gold values in a geological
setting similar to the "White Gold" property, now owned by Kinross Gold. 


The Qualified Person for the purpose of National Instrument 43-101 is William
Mann, P.Geo., who has read and agreed with the technical information in this
news release.


The Company is also pleased to announce that it has arranged for a private
placement of up to 15,000,000 units for total proceeds of up to $750,000. The
financing will consist of flow through and non-flow through units priced at
$0.05 per unit. Each flow through unit will consist of one flow through common
share and non-flow through share purchase warrant entitling the holder to
purchase one additional common share for two years at a price of $0.10 per
share. Each non-flow through unit will consist of one non-flow through common
share and one non-flow through share purchase warrant entitling the holder to
purchase one additional common share at the price of $0.10 per share in the
years 1&2, $0.15 per share in year 3 and $0.20 per share in years 4&5. 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.
