New Klondike Exploration Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:NK) ("New Klondike" or the "Company")
is pleased to announce that it has entered into an amending agreement with the
owners of the Katisha Lake claim, Alexander Glatz and Ivar Joseph Riives (the
"Optionors"), to postpone an option payment of $20,000 which was due on January
23, 2014 until August 31, 2014. In consideration for the Optionors' agreement to
extend the date for the payment, the Company has agreed to issue 100,000 common
shares to each of the Optionors, subject to receipt of regulatory approval.
Under the terms of the option agreement, which was fully described in the
Company's press release dated February 4, 2013, the Company has the right to
acquire a 100% interest in the Katisha Lake claim. The shares, when issued, will
be subject to a four-month statutory hold period. 


The Katisha Lake claim, located in the Kawashegamuk Lake Area of Northwestern
Ontario, consists of 9 claim units covering an area of 144 hectares and is
contiguous to the western boundary of the Company's Goldstorm Project. The claim
is host to at least eight known gold prospects, as documented in Ontario
Geological Survey data files. Reconnaissance scale sampling in July 2013
produced encouraging gold assay values previously announced by the Company in a
press release dated September 25, 2013 including the following. 


Ten samples taken from four gold prospects located in the southwestern part of
the project area, collectively referred to as the Katisha Lake gold zone,
assayed an average of 2.18 g/t Au with individual samples ranging from 0.28 g/t
to 8.69 g/t Au. The samples were composite grab samples representing mineralized
zones ranging in thickness from 0.3 to 0.8 m. Gold mineralization at Katisha
Lake is hosted by silicified zones and quartz veining developed within sheared,
sericitized and pyritized zones ranging from 1 to 20 metres in width. These
zones have been traced by historical exploration programs for lengths ranging
from 50 to 300 metres. The zones are hosted within a complex geological setting
that includes layered gabbroic sills intruding Archean aged mafic to felsic
volcanic and intrusive rocks. All of these rocks are unconformably overlain by a
band of Timiskaming-type sediments immediately to the north of the known gold
prospects. The July sampling and geological reconnaissance program helped to
confirm recent prospector sampling and observations, which indicate that the
major trend of the mineralized zones at Katisha Lake is from north-south to
northeast-southwest. This trend is contrary to the east-west trends that were
the targets of most historical exploration activity, including a drilling
program carried out by Esso Minerals Limited in the 1980s. 


Grab samples are selective by nature and may not represent average grades for
the mineralized zones at Katisha Lake.


Goldstorm Project 

The Goldstorm Project claims cover a large area, in excess of 230 square
kilometres, within the southeastern part of the Eagle-Wabigoon-Manitou Lakes
Greenstone Belt. Five regional scale structures and associated gold
mineralization have been identified within or passing through the project
boundaries. These include more than 45 kilometres of major fault zones and a 12
to 15 kilometre long band of Timiskaming-type sedimentary rocks that rest
unconformably on mafic volcanic and ultramafic to felsic intrusive rocks. Maps
and figures depicting the location and geology of the Goldstorm Project have
been compiled in a presentation titled 'Goldstorm Project-Northwestern Ontario'
available on the Company's website.
