The Companies
Klondike Gold
Klondike Gold is a British Columbia corporation with principal executive offices at 711 675 West Hastings Street, Vancouver, BC. The telephone number of Klondike Golds executive offices is (604) 685-2222, and its Internet website address is
www.klondikegoldcorp.com
. Klondike Gold is a Canadian listed company with its shares traded on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol KG as a Tier 2 company.
Klondike Star
Klondike Star is a Delaware corporation with principal executive offices at 103 307 Jarvis Street, Whitehorse, Yukon Y1A 2H3, Canada. The telephone number of Klondike Stars executive offices is (867) 667-4178 or (867) 667-7409. Klondike Star is a mineral exploration and development company with a portfolio of gold and base metal projects in Canada. Between 2004 and 2008, Klondike Star conducted exploration for gold in the Klondike region of Yukon, Canada.
The Offer
Klondike Gold is offering to exchange each outstanding share of KDSM common stock that is validly tendered and not properly withdrawn prior to the expiration date for 0.25 shares of KG common stock upon the terms and subject to the conditions contained in this Prospectus/Offer to Exchange and the accompanying letter of transmittal. No fractional shares will be issued for KDSM common stock tendered under the Offer. Instead, all fractional shares resulting from the exchange equal to or greater than one-half will be rounded to the next whole number and fractional shares of less than one-half will be rounded down to the next whole number.
Reasons for the Offer
Klondike Gold believes that the combination of the assets of Klondike Gold and Klondike Star will create significant value for Klondike Star shareholders and give Klondike Star shareholders a substantial ongoing equity interest in Klondike Gold. The stock-for-stock exchange represents an immediate premium to Klondike Star shareholders and an ability to participate in and benefit from the improved financial strength and flexibility of Klondike Gold. We believe the combination of Klondike Gold and Klondike Star is a compelling opportunity for Klondike Star shareholders with numerous benefits, including the following:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Consolidation of Key Properties
Klondike Gold and Klondike Star own respectively a 45% and a 55% interest in 700 quartz claims situated in the Klondike Gold Fields of the Yukon Territory which have been optioned to Lonestar Gold Inc., a private company owned approximately 80% by Klondike Gold and 20% by Klondike Star, which claims have been the principal exploration focus of both companies in their most recent activities. Through this exchange offer, ownership of these claims will now be consolidated into one entity, under the control of Klondike Gold.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Improved Financial Strength
As public companies with no income stream, both Klondike Star and Klondike Gold rely on the sale of their equity securities to finance their operations. For some time, the market for Klondike Star shares has been depressed, leaving its management unable to raise funds for the exploration of its mineral interests or the administration of its corporate affairs. With the combination of the two companies, Klondike Star shareholders will benefit from the more active equity market for the securities of Klondike Gold, which has had recent experience attracting investors for offerings of its equity securities. Consolidation of the ownership of the Lone Star Property in Klondike Gold will enhance the ability to further finance the development of the property.

|
Proven Management Team
Klondike Gold's management team has extensive experience exploring and developing mineral properties, including in the Yukon Territory, and in the administration of public companies and satisfying all the regulatory requirements related thereto. This experience is recognized in the industry and provides Klondike Gold ready access to the equity markets. Klondike Star shareholders, on becoming shareholders of Klondike Gold, will benefit from the improved management of both the exploration and development programs to be undertaken and the administration of the corporate affairs of the Company.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Participation in On-going Growth Potential
The all-stock nature of the exchange offer will allow the shareholders of Klondike Star to participate in the growth and long-term value creation potential of the combined assets of the companies under the direction of Klondike Gold. Klondike Star shareholders, through their ongoing equity ownership in Klondike Gold, would benefit from any value created in the mineral properties by Klondike Gold.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Receipt of Premium by Klondike Star Shareholders
In addition to the long-term benefits arising out of ownership in Klondike Gold, Klondike Star shareholders will also be receiving a premium in the offer. Klondike Star shareholders would receive a premium in the order of 40% to the average exchange ratio based on closing share prices for Klondike Gold and Klondike Star during the 10-day period ended [*].
|
|
|
|

Financing of the Offer; Source and Amount of Funds
The offer is not subject to a financing condition. Klondike Gold is offering 0.25 shares of its common stock for each share of KDSM common stock. Klondike Gold estimates that the total amount of cash required to pay all fees, expenses and other related amounts incurred in connection with the offer will be approximately $30,000, which Klondike Gold expects to pay with cash on hand. The estimated amount of cash required is based on Klondike Golds due diligence review of Klondike Stars publicly available information to date and certain information obtained from Klondike Gold, and is subject to change. For a further discussion of the risks relating to Klondike golds limited due diligence review, please see Risk Factors Risk Factors Relating to the Offer.
Ownership of the Combined Company After the Offer
Based on certain assumptions regarding the number of KDSM shares to be exchanged, Klondike Gold estimates that if all shares of KDSM common stock are exchanged pursuant to the offer, former Klondike Star shareholders would own, in the aggregate, approximately 16.4% of the outstanding shares of KG common stock. For a detailed discussion of the assumptions on which this estimate is based, pleased see the section of this Prospectus/Offer to Exchange entitled The Exchange Offer Ownership of the Combined Company After the Offer.
Comparative Market Prices and Share Information

The value of the offer will change as the market prices of Klondike Gold common stock and Klondike Star common stock fluctuate during the offer period and thereafter, and may therefore be different from the prices set forth above at the expiration of the offer period and at the time you receive your shares of Klondike Gold common stock. You are encouraged to obtain current market quotations for Klondike Gold and Klondike Star common stock prior to making any decision with respect to the offer.
Please also see the section of this offer to exchange entitled The Exchange OfferEffect of the Offer on the Market for Shares of Klondike Star Common Stock; for a discussion of the possibility that Klondike Stars shares will cease to be listed on the OTC Markets Pink Sheets.
RISK FACTORS
In addition to the other information included and incorporated by reference in this Prospectus/Offer to Exchange (please see the section entitled Where You Can Find More Information), including the matters addressed in the section entitled Forward-Looking Statements, you should carefully consider the following risks before deciding whether to tender your shares of Klondike Star common stock in the offer.
8
Risks and Uncertainties
Klondike Gold is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties due to the nature of its business. Klondike Gold's exploration and development activities expose it to various financial and operational risks that could have a significant impact on its level of operating cash flows in the future. Klondike Star shareholders are advised to study and consider risk factors stressed below.
The following are identified as main risk factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those stated in any forward-looking statements made by, or on behalf of, Klondike Gold.
Financing for Future Development is Uncertain
Klondike Gold's future financial success depends on the ability to raise additional capital from the issue of shares or the discovery of properties which could be economically justifiable to develop. Such development could take years to complete and resulting income, if any, is difficult to determine. The sales value of any mineralization potentially discovered by Klondike Gold is largely dependent upon factors beyond its control, such as the market value of the products produced.
General Resource Exploration Risks and Competitive Conditions
The resource exploration industry is an inherently risky business with significant capital expenditures and volatile metals markets. The marketability of any minerals discovered may be affected by numerous factors that are beyond Klondike Gold's control and which cannot be predicted, such as market fluctuations, mineral markets and processing equipment, and changes to government regulations, including those relating to royalties, allowable production, importing and exporting of minerals, and environmental protection. This industry is intensely competitive and there is no guarantee that, even if commercial quantities are discovered, a profitable market will exist for their sale. Klondike Gold competes with other junior exploration companies for the acquisition of mineral claims as well for the engagement of qualified contractors. Metal prices have fluctuated widely in recent years, and they are determined in international markets over which Klondike Gold has no influence.
Governmental Regulation
Regulatory standards continue to change, making the review process longer, more complex and therefore more expensive. Exploration and development of Klondike Gold's properties is affected by government regulations relating to such matters as environmental protection, health, safety and labor, mining law reform, restrictions on production, price control, tax increases, maintenance of claims and tenure. There is no assurance that future changes in such regulations would not result in additional expenses and capital expenditures, decreasing availability of capital, increased competition, reserve uncertainty, title risks, and delays in operations. Klondike Gold relies on the expertise and commitment of its management team, advisors, employees and contractors to ensure compliance with current laws.
Risk Factors Relating to the Offer
The exchange ratio of the offer is fixed and will not be adjusted. Because the market price of shares of Klondike Gold common stock may fluctuate, Klondike Star shareholders cannot be sure of the market value of the shares of Klondike Gold common stock that will be issued in connection with the offer
Each outstanding share of Klondike Star common stock will be exchanged for .25 restricted shares of Klondike Gold common stock upon consummation of the offer. This exchange ratio is fixed and will not be adjusted in case of any increases or decreases in the price of Klondike Gold common stock or Klondike Star common stock. If the price of Klondike Gold common stock declines (which may occur as the result of a number of reasons (many of which are out of the control of Klondike Gold), including as a result of the risks described in this section entitled Risk Factors), Klondike Star shareholders will receive less value for their shares upon exchange of tendered shares in the offer than the value calculated pursuant to the exchange ratio on the date the offer was announced. Because the offer may not be completed until certain conditions have been satisfied or waived (please see the section of this offer to exchange entitled The Exchange OfferConditions of the Offer), a significant period of time may pass between the commencement of the offer and the time that Klondike Gold accepts shares of Klondike Star common stock for exchange. Therefore, at the time you tender your shares pursuant to the offer, you will not know the exact market value of the shares of Klondike Gold common stock that will be issued if Klondike Gold accepts such shares for exchange. However, tendered shares of Klondike Star common stock may be withdrawn at any time prior to the time they are accepted for exchange pursuant to the offer. Please see the section entitled Comparative Market Price and Dividend Information for the historical high and low sales prices per share of Klondike Gold and Klondike Star common stock.

Lone Star Property Geology:
The Lone Star Ridge is underlain by quartz and feldspar augen-bearing quartz-muscovite schist (unit Psa) and muscovite-quartz schist (unit Psqm) of the Permian Klondike Schist Assemblage. This unit has a complex deformation history with at least four phases of deformation (D1-D4). The 2012 excavation of the Boulder Lode open cut has led to a significant increase in understanding the relationship between deformation and the gold mineralization.
In the Eldorado-Bonanza area the first phase of deformation consisting of ductile completely iscolinal folding is rarely observed. More common is the S2 i.e, compositional layering transposed by F2 folding. The attitude of S2 foliation in the Eldorado-Bonanza area describes a ridge scale macroscopic antiformal structure whose northeast limb is sheared by a thrust fault low on the northeast side of the Lone Star Ridge. This is indicated by sheared serpentinite, soapstone and graphitic phyllite encountered during the 2004 trenching and has been mapped as a thrust fault.
The third phase of deformation (D3) folds S2 with generally tight similar style folds with a northwest trend. Phase 4 deformation (D4) is conjugate angular kink folds and possible macroscopic warping (km scale) of the penetrative foliation. This produced pervasive folding and complex refolded folds which may appear as two conjugate sets: north to northeast and east to southeast.
Gold mineralization is in shallow dipping sheets. This shallow dipping system is somewhat similar to that of the Veronika, 27 Pup and Nugget prospects. How significant the gold mineralization disseminated in schist without veins is not certain at present. It is possible that the quartz vein system derived its material from a very local syngenetic source. This is consistent with observed syngenetic base metal and silver mineralization within the Klondike Schist. Interpretation of drill hole data and surface mapping has shown that the F3 and F4 folding of the quartzite/schist boundary produces an interference pattern of classical egg carton geometry and that the enriched mineralization is contained within such a dome of undulating D2 and D3 folding on a 100 to 200 meter scale. This structural work may be used to guide future drilling in the immediate Lone Star area.
Moving southwest down slope towards Eldorado Creek the Buckland to Nugget trend consists of locally gold-bearing quartz veins cutting strongly deformed muscovite and muscovite-quartz schist (unit Psqm) of the Permian Klondike Schist Assemblage. This area contains significant high grade results from work by previous operators and the Company views the possibility of high grade quartz veins over this 1000 m strike length as being very positive.
The west side of Eldorado Creek is underlain by strongly deformed, blocky weathering, quartz augen-bearing quartz-muscovite-chlorite schist (unit Psa) with isoclinal infolds or interlayers of muscovite-quartz schist and carbonaceous phyllite (unit Psqm) and can be found from Adams Creek to the northwest down to Chief Gulch to the southeast. A number of narrow, southwest-dipping shear zones cut the schist as well as several small dykes of quartz-feldspar porphyry (unit eTqfp).
The Violet Ridge on the western boundary of the Lone Star Property contains several massive white quartz-barite veins cutting flaggy, quartz and feldspar augen-bearing, quartz-muscovite schist (unit Psa) of the Permian Klondike Schist Assemblage. The rock samples show quartz veining and stock working with common pyrite and limonite with local galena, chalcopyrite, and barite. The mineralization appears to be in at least two parallel trends with both yielding soil samples that are anomalous for gold and extending over four kilometres between the Violet and 310 Zones.
Work Completed up to and including 2011:
The Lone Star property has a long history starting with the 1896 gold rush and contains many active placer claims. It also has two past producing mines, the Lone Star mine (Boulder Lode) which operated from 1911-1914 and the Violet mine which was active in 1907.
After the closing of the Lone Star mine in 1914, no significant work was done on the property until 1960-1961 when the claims were explored with bulldozer trenching and sampling as well as 180 m of diamond drilling and 84 m of churn drilling. Activity again ceased until 1980 when Klondike Ken Ventures Incorporated explored the property with geochemical sampling, a resistivity survey and trenching in 1980-81, geological mapping in 1983 and 1984 and geochemical sampling and rock sampling of nearby old workings in 1984. In 1985, Dawson Eldorado drilled 6 percussion holes (183 m). Between 1986 and 1994 first Arbor Recourses then Kennecott Canada Inc. as part of an option agreement with Arbor conducted exploration on the property. This included multiple geophysics grids and 196 drill holes consisting of 13,075 m of RC and percussion drilling and 8094 m of diamond drilling. In addition approximately 220 trenches were dug and over 4000 trench samples assayed as well as over 5000 soil samples across the property. The majority of the work was concentrated around the Boulder Lode and the Nugget to Buckland Zone between Gay Gulch and 27 Pup which accounted for 68 and 63 drill holes respectively.
12
In 1995 Kennecott terminated its option agreement with Arbor Resources who changed their name to Klondike Gold Corp. in 1996. Very little work was conducted on the property from 1996 to 2003 until Klondike Gold Corp entered into a joint venture with Klondike Star Mineral Corp. in 2004.
Between 2004 and 2008 Klondike Star drilled 66 diamond holes and 6 percussion holes totaling 9291 m. Fifty nine of the drill holes were located on the Lone Star Ridge in the Boulder Lode area while a further 7 holes tested the Buckland to Nugget trend. Approximately 35 trenches were dug and numerous historic trenches were cleaned out and re-assayed with over 1600 samples collected as well as over 2500 soil samples. The soil sampling was concentrated on the eastern part of the property in areas that had seen very little previous work. A bulk sampling program was also conducted on selected targets between 2005 and 2007 in areas identified by geologists as having anomalous mineralization. In order to compare the effectiveness of the bulk sampling each sample has a corresponding set of chip samples to test the difference between bulk and conventional sampling.
In 2011 a limited exploration program was conducted by Klondike Gold and included trenching and soil and rock sampling along the Lone Star ridge road. In addition, select trenches and the historic Boulder Lode were examined to investigate the relationship of structure to gold grade. These studies led to the re-excavation of the Boulder Lode open cut in 2012 where an extensive sampling program of 314 channel samples identified mineralization in both the flat lying quartz veins and the host schist. The relationship between mineralization and the complicated structure of the area was also examined and a structural model was developed that may be used to guide future drilling in the immediate Lone Star area.
A limited drill program of four holes totaling 1381m was also conducted in addition to the 254 trench samples and 1306 soil samples. Much of the soil sampling was concentrated in the area surrounding the historic Violet mine where sharp soil anomalies delineate at least two parallel vein systems trending northwest in the direction of the 310 Zone over a distance of at least 3.6 km.
Work completed in 2012:
The exploration on the Lone Star Property during 2012 used a systematic approach to evaluate the potential of known targets and explore for new gold mineralization. The winter 2012 data review brought together over 30 years of data into a usable format and drove 2012 exploration priorities.
There are four high priority targets on the Lone Star Property:
1) The Boulder Lode on top of Lone Star Ridge;
2) The Nugget to Buckland trend midway up Lone Star Ridge with possible extent of greater than 1.1 km and significant past high grade results;
3) The Violet Ridge trend with possible extent of 3.6 km from the historic Violet mine to the 310 Zone; and
4) The underexplored areas of the property which have significant extensive ongoing placer production.
New understanding of the mineralization at the Boulder Lode has been facilitated by the excavation and sampling of the 100 year old open cut in June 2012 and by structural and lithological mapping by academic consultants Dr. Doug Mackenzie, Dr. Jim Mortensen, and Dr. Timothy Liverton. This understanding of the Boulder Lode gives evidence for two complementary types of significant gold mineralization:
1) Shallow dipping stacked quartz vein system visible in the 2012 Boulder Lode excavation with local thickness of 8 plus metres. The results of channel and other sampling conducted indicate that this mineralization dips to the northeast into an area with very limited historical drilling and coincides with an area of favorable host lithology postulated by Dr. Jim Mortensen. Further investigation by drilling into the down dip extension of this mineralized unit is recommended.
2) Contouring and lithological mapping used previous drilling and trench data to generate an exploration model that shows gold enrichment in a subunit of the Klondike schist on the anticlines (structural high points) of undulating D
3
and D
4
folding on a 100 to 200 meter scale. Late D
4
extensional deformation appears to have preferentially mineralized these anticlines. This has implications for new target areas to the east and north of the Boulder Lode.
Geotechnical drilling in the Pioneer Zone southeast of the Boulder Lode was conducted in April and May to increase geological understanding of the relationship of the Boulder Lode to the Pioneer as well as to test induced polarization geophysical anomalies to the north of the Pioneer Zone. The program provided insights for future exploration; a stronger IP anomaly north of 12DDH003 is a possible target when taken in context of new lithological and structural understanding of the Boulder Lode. The stronger of the two anomalies was not drilled due to access issues during the early spring thaw.
13
The Nugget to Buckland trend was investigated in 2012 through mapping and rock sampling. This investigation by the Companys technical team has found that the trend of the upper Nugget Zone can be extended on surface. Results support future drilling to test the Nugget Zone at depth and along strike towards the Buckland Zone quartz veins. Active placer mining in Oro Grande Gulch suggests a source for gold in the area where the Buckland and Nugget Zones are assumed to intersect. Nugget and Buckland Zones have significant high grade results from work by previous operators.
The Violet Ridge trend from the historic Violet mine to the 310 Zone was explored by mapping, rock sampling, and soil sampling in 2012. The results of this work in addition to further research on historical results have better defined the Violet Ridge trend mineralization. The mineralization appears to be in at least two parallel trends, both yielding soil samples that are anomalous for gold. The veins have vertical extent of approximately 400 m in the area of the 310 Zone on the ridge down to the base of Nugget Gulch where the vein was observed to be steeply dipping to the northeast. The four plus kilometer extent and vertical extent of the Violet Ridge trend with the possibility of high grades make this an attractive target for the Company.
The technical team has recognized that portions of the 137.6 km2 Lone Star Property remain under explored. The newly discovered Boy Zone 400 by 900 m soil anomaly illustrates the possibility of finding new zones on the Lone Star Property. Further promising early stage exploration target areas include:
1) The southeast portion of the property in the area of Little Blanche and Quartz Creek where there is significant and ongoing placer gold production.
2) Northwest of French Gulch to Adams Creek area along strike with the Violet Ridge trend where there has been little recent work and placer production that was some of the richest in the Klondike Gold Fields and continues to present.
Senior management, expert scientific consultants, and the technical team are currently developing the plan to most efficiently and effectively test Lone Star priority targets in the 2013 season.
Indian River Placer Property
Klondike Gold, by way of a Royalty & Lease Agreement, obtained from Klondike Star the Mining Rights to the 188 claims that form the Indian River Placer Gold Project, all subject to a 10% royalty on gross production from the property. The project is located in the Dawson Mining District about 75 minutes drive from Dawson City and about 30 minutes from the Lone Star Property.
On July 7, 2012, Klondike Gold signed a Letter of Intent with 46799 Yukon Inc., a private Yukon company, wherein the parties agree to enter into a Joint Venture (the JV) for the purpose of further exploring and developing a placer gold property located on the Indian River and Montana Creek in the Dawson City Mining District. Klondike Gold will provide the property and the permits required for exploration and mining and an extensive amount of exploration data. 46799 Yukon Inc. will provide equipment and initial capital to the Joint Venture. Upon each party making their respective contributions to the JV, each will have a 50% participating interest in the JV and its ongoing operations. The Parties entered in to a formal agreement on July 26, 2012 which set the stage for the development of the property.
The Indian River Placer Property covers over 60 miles of placer claims and leases along the southern edge of the Klondike placer mining region at the confluence of Indian River and Montana Creek, both gold producing drainages. The Indian River and its tributaries have been the largest placer gold producers in the Yukon for the last seven years.
At start of construction, about 60% of the property had been drilled between 2005 and 2007. Gold was recovered from nearly 100% of the holes in the main target area. The target zone forms a wedge that is 300 meters (984 feet) at the beginning and broadens to a width of over 1,500 meters (4,921 feet). To date, the mineralized zone extends over a distance of more than three km (1.9 miles) and remains open to expansion to the east and south. Gold is uneven but consistently distributed across this broad area with gold values present across the entire width of the property. The fineness of the gold assayed at over 82%.
An operating company has been formed to operate the mine under the supervision of an experienced placer-mining team appointed by the JV. Work on the project commenced on July 27, 2012. A preliminary construction camp was set up while the permanent camp was prepared. A track-mounted auger drill had started drilling for mine planning and grade-control purposes. Two Caterpillar D9N bulldozers arrived on the property starting on-site preparation and overburden stripping while other mining and processing equipment was mobilized to the property. Stripped overburden gravels and sterile gravel layers where used to improve the internal road system and for building an 800 meter causeway to support a pipeline to carry water to the reservoir. Efforts were made to build project infrastructure without additional operating or construction cost. Field operations ended October 15 with the mining infrastructure completed and tested. The facility is ready to commence production in the 2013 season.
The JV will focus their initial efforts on only 10% of the 188 claims permitted to be mined. Recent staking has added two additional placer leases totaling 3 miles adjacent to the drilled property for the future benefit of the JV. Once converted into claims, this ground will increase the Indian River project to a total of 220 claims.

Silver City Property
On June 1st, 2012 Klondike Gold announced the acquisition by staking of the 15 Mile Silver City Property located approximately 40 kilometers northwest of Dawson City along the Yukon River and totaling 100 claims covering an area of 21 km
2
. These claims target an area with a number of placer gold occurrences and the Silver City Yukon Minfile hard rock prospect (Minfile number 116B 03). Of interest to Klondike Gold is the unexplained source of the 15 Mile placer gold occurrences and the interpretation of the Silver City Minfile prospect as being an area of slope failure with mineralised float boulders found in the slide debris. The Company will focus its exploration towards identifying the bedrock source(s) of the placer gold and that of the silver-gold mineralized boulders. An initial program of exploration and preliminary assessment of the property has been completed and the property is in good standing.
B.C. Properties
Panda Irishman Group
Ownership: 100 % Klondike Gold Corp.
Location: 35 km southwest of Cranbrook, British Columbia, in the Fort Steele Mining District
Size: 273 claims covering 30,147 hectares, this contiguous property is sub divided into Panda Irishman, Lewis McNeil, Leadville, Thea Gold, and Kid-Star for administrative purposes
Minerals: gold, lead, zinc, silver, copper
Property Geology:
The Panda Irishman Group is mainly underlain by the Middle Proterozoic Aldridge Formation, host to the Sullivan sedex deposit. The claims are aligned roughly northeast, in the hanging wall of the northeast trending Moyie fault, covering an area of approximately 10 by 25 kilometers. They include several individual properties or areas, including the Panda-Irishman, Lewis McNeil Creek, Kid-Star, Thea Gold, and Leadville and the Brook gold vein occurrence. These properties have received considerable past work by Klondike Gold and the previous owner, Sedex Mining Corp, as well as other exploration companies. This area is within a recognized structural zone, commonly referred to as the Kanasewich rift, which is marked by structures that have a repeated history of movement from Middle Proterozoic to Tertiary time and played an important role in the distribution of sedimentary rocks, intrusions and related mineral deposits.
Geology details are as per the below sub group properties Panda Irishman, Lewis McNeil, Leadville, Thea Gold, and Kid-Star.
2012 Work:
The 2012 exploration program included geological mapping, prospecting, sampling and analyses, and two small ground geophysical surveys on the Brook Au vein occurrence. These activities resulted in the discovery of several new mineralized areas with anomalous gold values. A considerable part of the work was spent at the Brook tracing and sampling the extent of the exposed vein and recognizing the importance of northwest-trending structures in localizing mineralization within the north trending shear. Mapping and prospecting in the Kid-Star area resulted in the discovery of several shear structures with base metal mineralization; anomalous gold values were discovered in several of these, although values were low. Also on Kid-Star rocks interpreted to be Lower Aldridge were recognized in the immediate footwall Carrol Creek fault. This enhances considerably the prospect of exploration of the Sullivan horizon at the lower to middle Aldridge contact within the area. Further evaluation of these anomalous areas is recommended.
Panda Irishman
(Sub-grouping of the Panda Irishman Group for administrative purposes)
Ownership: 100 % Klondike Gold Corp.
Location: Central and southeast in the Panda Irishman Group
Size: 74 claims covering 12,030 hectares
Minerals: Lead, zinc, silver
Property Geology:
The upper Moyie/Lewis-Irishman Creek area is underlain by the Middle Proterozoic Aldridge Formation, intruded by several gabbroic Moyie sills and dykes. The region lies in the hanging wall of the major, northeast-trending Moyie Fault, a regional fault with a history of movement dating to Aldridge time. More northerly faults in the area are interpreted to parallel
15
Proterozoic growth faults that define small structural basins, typical settings for sedex type deposits. Several sedimentary fragmentals, tourmalinites, and occurrences of vein lead-zinc-silver mineralization are further evidence of exhalite mineralization.
Work Completed to Date:
Between 2002 and 2007 Klondike Gold drilled nine widely spaced holes to the Sullivan time horizon. Deep drilling has defined a north trending Proterozoic age structural basin that contains anomalous concentrations of exhalative lead and zinc mineralization. Furthermore, drilling indicates that both the total content of metals and sulphides and the thickness of the key Sullivan horizon increases to the southwest within the basin and towards the east-northeast trending Moyie fault.
Lewis McNeil Creek (including the Brook Zone)
(Sub-grouping of the Panda Irishman Group for administrative purposes)
Ownership: 100 % Klondike Gold Corp.
Location: Northeast in the Panda Irishman Group
Size: 87 claims covering 9,667 hectares
Minerals: Gold, lead, zinc, silver
Property Geology:
The Lewis McNeil Creek property is underlain mainly by the Proterozoic Middle Aldridge Formation north of the northeast-trending Moyie fault. Several well defined exploration targets have recently been discovered, which include both sedex (similar to the world-class Sullivan sedex deposit) and gold within the newly recognized Kimberley Gold Trend. Detailed mapping in the vicinity of the past trenching on the Brook occurrence on this property has identified a shear zone which may be a composite of several shears oriented north northeast with widths up to 20 meters wide.
Work Completed To Date:
Past work has identified several mineral occurrences, including the Brook gold-quartz vein, and McNeil lead showings.
2012 Work:
Exploration on the property in 2012 focused on the Brook gold occurrence and included geological mapping, prospecting and a ground VLF-EM and magnetometer geophysical survey. All the samples collected from the Brook occurrence contained what is considered anomalous gold values (>15 ppb Au). In addition to elevated gold, the Brook also showed elevated values of Cu, Pb, Ag, As, Sb, Hg and Te.
Approximately 1 km north of the Brook a sub-cropping zone of carbonate altered gabbro is located in a road ditch. Some float boulders are comprised of milky quartz veins in an orange weathering altered gabbro sill and occur over a distance of 300 meters in the ditch. Bull quartz veins have visible gold in one location (associated with galena and chalcopyrite).
The Brook occurrence can be traced in subcrop or extrapolated several hundred meters to the north, although rock outcropping is poor. Approximately 1 km to the north and roughly on strike with the Brook shear, discovery of visible gold in bull quartz vein material suggests that the shear extends considerably farther. The small ground magnetic survey indicates that a northwest-trending fault intersects the shear zone. The limited geophysical survey was encouraging and should be expanded.
Leadville
(Sub-grouping of the Panda Irishman Group for administrative purposes)
Ownership: 100 % Klondike Gold Corp.
Location: Northwest in the Panda Irishman Group
Size: 16 claims covering 1,002 hectares
Minerals: Gold, lead, zinc, silver
Property Geology:
The Leadville property is underlain mainly by the Middle Proterozoic Aldridge Formation that contains many indicators such as vein sulphides, fragmentals and tourmalinites that characterize sedex mineralization in the Purcell Mountains. As well, the property is on the northern inferred extension of the Thea Gold vein occurrence. 2012 work showed several vein occurrences on strike with the Thea which contains significant anomalous gold.
16
Work Completed To Date:
There has been little past exploration done by Klondike Gold on the property prior to 2012
2012 Work:
A program of prospecting and rock sampling conducted in the upper Leadville and upper Kidd Creek areas focused primarily on developing and expanding the Thea vein, a gold bearing shear system hosted in Middle Aldridge sediments to the south. The area that was prospected was generally north-northwest of and roughly on strike with the Thea prospect.
Gold mineralization and associated alteration was found to be developed in the Aldridge metasediments below and between the Moyie sill packages. Nine zones of multi-gram gold were sampled during the program, with an additional 24 samples assaying between 100-1000 ppb Au. These zones are all associated with silicification, albitization, sericite, goethite, hematite, manganese and pyrite. Chalcopyrite, galena, and arsenopyrite were found in a number of these gold bearing zones. Assay results indicate elevated values of Cu, Pb, Ag, As, Sb, Hg and Te, associated with the higher gold values.
Numerous other zones of anomalous gold and base metal occurrences were found during the program. Zones of hornfelsing with copper mineralization are widespread in the footwall of the lower Moyie sill in the upper Leadville area. Alteration in the Moyie sills in this area was also found to host galena, sphalerite, chalcopyrite, and arsenopyrite. A fragmental pipe was located that was largely comprised of sediment and gabbro clasts in a biotite/sericite matrix. It appears to be roughly circular and has a north trending, 50 degree east orientation. It is capped by sediments in the basin wall and down dip is covered by talus scree. Pyrrhotite is locally developed within the pipe with some chalcopyrite and native copper. In the hanging wall of the pipe fractured and altered sediments were found to host quartz veins with chlorite and galena.
Thea Gold
(Sub-grouping of the Panda Irishman Group for administrative purposes)
Ownership: 100 % Klondike Gold Corp.
Location: Central west in the Panda Irishman Group
Size: 15 claims covering 2,298 hectares
Minerals: Gold, lead, zinc, silver
Property Geology:
The Thea Gold prospect consists of a north trending, variably east dipping shear zone in Middle Aldridge siltstone and quartzite that is intensely silicified with quartz breccias, quartz stringers and veins. The shear zone has been traced, through drilling and trenching, over a strike length of approximately 700 meters. The zone varies in width from less than a meter to 6 meters.
Work Completed to Date:
Trenching done in 2002 and 2003, soil survey in 2003, 13 drill holes (totaling 378 meters) in 2003, and 12 holes, (totaling 825.41 meters) completed in 2004, and limited geological mapping.
2012 Work:
A program of prospecting and rock sampling conducted in the upper Leadville and upper Kidd Creek areas focused primarily on developing and expanding the Thea vein, a gold bearing shear system hosted in Middle Aldridge sediments to the south. The area that was prospected was generally north-northwest of and roughly on strike with the Thea prospect.
Gold mineralization and associated alteration was found to be developed in the Aldridge metasediments below and between the Moyie sill packages. Nine zones of multi-gram gold were sampled during the program, with an additional 24 samples assaying between 100-1000 ppb Au. These zones are all associated with silicification, albitization, sericite, goethite, hematite, manganese and pyrite. Chalcopyrite, galena, and arsenopyrite were found in a number of these gold bearing zones. Assay results indicate elevated values of Cu, Pb, Ag, As, Sb, Hg and Te, associated with the higher gold values.
Numerous other zones of anomalous gold and base metal occurrences were found during the program. Zones of hornfelsing with copper mineralization are widespread in the footwall of the lower Moyie sill in the upper Leadville area. Alteration in the Moyie sills in this area was also found to host galena, sphalerite, chalcopyrite, and arsenopyrite. A fragmental pipe was located that was largely comprised of sediment and gabbro clasts in a biotite/sericite matrix. It appears to be roughly circular and has a north trending, 50 degree east orientation. It is capped by sediments in the basin wall and down dip is covered by talus scree. Pyrrhotite is locally developed within the pipe with some chalcopyrite and native copper. In the hanging wall of the pipe fractured and altered sediments were found to host quartz veins with chlorite and galena.

Kid-Star
(Sub-grouping of the Panda Irishman Group for administrative purposes)
Ownership: 100 % Klondike Gold Corp.
Location: Southwest in the Panda Irishman Group, 20 km east of Creston, B.C.
Size: 81 claims covering 5,150 hectares
Minerals: Lead, zinc, silver, gold
Property Geology:
The Kid-Star is underlain by the Middle Proterozoic Aldridge Formation as is the Irishman and Panda to the northeast. The bedded (sedex) mineralization on the Kid-Star property appears to be stratigraphically higher than in the Sullivan deposit, and contains considerable vein mineralization, tourmalinite alteration, and fragmentals.
Work Completed to Date:
Past drilling, by Kokanee Exploration (1990 and 1991), discovered both stratabound and vein mineralization in the Aldridge Formation at stratigraphic levels above the Sullivan horizon. Recent work by Klondike Gold (2012) is focusing on the gold potential, as well as the sedex mineralization, due in large part to the discovery of significant gold values in correlative rocks on Eagle Plains Resources and Providence Resources property to the west, and on Fjordland Explorations property immediately to the north. Highlights of work include pyrite, sphalerite, galena: cross cutting veins or layer parallel stratiform mineralization.
2012 Work:
The 2012 exploration by Klondike Gold included a reconnaissance prospecting program, mainly directed towards gold, and reconnaissance mapping to better evaluate the potential for sedex lead-zinc mineralization.
The central portion of the Kid-Star property was mapped at a scale of 1:10,000, augmenting and updating previous industry and government work.
The property is underlain mainly by Middle Aldridge stratigraphy which is cut by numerous steeply dipping, north-trending and northwest-trending faults with typical normal displacement. Middle Aldridge stratigraphic marker units, largely located and identified by Cominco geologists, were used in defining fault offsets and stratigraphic position within the Middle Aldridge Formation. These markers also confirm that the Sullivan horizon, at the Lower/Middle Aldridge contact, subcrops on the west side of the property. Limited outcrop here does not allow for details about the character of the Lower Aldridge but the rocks seem atypical. This may impact the potential for developing a Sullivan horizon sub-basin setting on the property but the two fault orientations and presence of alteration and lead-zinc along them are positive indicators for the property and area. Potential for gold has been enhanced by the confirmation of large structures with widespread alteration zones and some weaker but anomalous gold values over significant widths.
In the western portion of the property the Middle Aldridge is in fault contact with Creston Formation sediments along the Carrol Creek fault. Prospecting showed alteration in the hanging wall of the fault extends westward over 400 meters. Sampling in the hanging wall of the fault returned anomalous gold values. Samples from this area contained elevated values for Cu, Pb, Zn, Ag, As, Sb, Bi, and Hg.
Hughes Range
Ownership: 100 % Klondike Gold Corp.
Location: Fort Steele Mining District, 20 km northeast of Cranbrook on the western slopes of Hughes Range
Size: 36 claims covering 6,323 hectares
Minerals: Gold, copper, lead, zinc, silver
Property Geology:
The Hughes Range property is located along the eastern side of the middle Proterozoic Purcell basin, a well-mineralized sequence of rocks that hosts the Sullivan sedex deposit 20 km west of the Hughes Range, the Couer dAlene veins in Idaho, and the stratabound copper-silver deposits of Spar Lake and Montanore in Montana. Mineralization comprises mainly thin quartz veins and breccias that locally contain minor sulphides and elevated gold values. These appear to be related to northwest trending syenite and granite dykes that cut Proterozoic Fort Steele quartzites. The property is within a recently recognized gold belt that extends southwest from the Hughes Range to the central Purcell Mountains. 2012 work showed
18
copper mineralisation of chalcopyrite, bornite, and native copper in the some areas of the Fort Steele quartzites which the company views as significant and plans to investigate further.
2012 Work:
Activity was focused mainly on a new exploration target, disseminated and fracture controlled copper mineralization in Fort Steele quartzites. As well, some prospecting and reconnaissance mapping were done on the sedex Kootenay King lead-zinc deposit on the east side of the property and on known gold and silver vein occurrences farther west.
2012 prospecting discovered a widespread zone of copper sulphide mineralization within a southwest-trending structural corridor that is also marked by Cretaceous intrusive rocks and base and precious metal vein mineralization. Mineralization tends to be focused at the intersection of this corridor with north-trending faults that parallel the Rocky Mountain trench faults.
Numerous thin quartz-sulphide veins with multi-gram gold values, the polymetallic Try Again occurrence (BC Minfile 082GNW017) and on the western end, the copper zone, occur within this mineralized corridor.
Quartz Mountain
Ownership: 100 % Klondike Gold Corp.
Location: 12 km southwest of Kimberley, on the slopes and ridges of Quartz Mountain, including the drainage of Sawmill Creek.
Size: 74 claims covering 4,037 hectares
Minerals: IOCG (Iron oxide copper gold), possible intrusion related gold
Property Geology:
The Quartz Mountain property straddles a major east-trending fault, the St. Mary fault, and several smaller northeast trending faults. The claim area includes several small high-grade past producing veins called Prices Pit and Golden Egg. Recent exploration focused on an IOCG (iron oxide copper-gold) target, recognising widespread chlorite, silica and sericite alteration, as well as several zones of disseminated and brecciated hematite. Gold occurs in several very high grade veins, in felsic dykes and copper is associated with the hematite breccias as well as in many small fractures and veinlets.
Work Completed to Date:
Considerable historical work has been done to date, particularly on the high grade Prices Pit and Golden Egg veins. A prominent magnetic anomaly in the northeastern part of the property was identified by an airborne magnetic survey conducted by Klondike Gold in 2006. Limited drilling was completed by Klondike Gold in 2004 in the immediate area of Prices Pit (six holes) and in the zones of alteration in the IOCG target area (four exploratory holes drilled in 2007).
2012 Work:
Although limited in scope, the 2012 work found an extension to Prices Pit mineralization as exposed by a road cut some 200 meters from known Prices Pit mineralization and further alteration above Golden Egg. Some alteration looks as though it may be intrusion related as opposed to IOCG type. Discussions are ongoing within the Klondike Gold technical team and consultants as to the nature of mineralization and alteration, but the property remains one of the highest priorities in British Columbia.
Pit Ash
Ownership: 100 % Klondike Gold Corp.
Location: St. Mary River valley south of Kimberley, 11 km south of the Sullivan mine
Size: 36 claims covering 3,654 hectares
Minerals: Lead, zinc, silver
Property Geology:
The claims cover a segment of the Aldridge Formation in the immediate hanging wall of the St. Mary fault. The area has attracted exploration interest because it may cover the southern extension to the Sullivan-North Star feeder system, some eleven kilometers south of the Sullivan ore body. Thick overburden minimizes outcrop and makes exploration conjectural. Complex structures also contribute to the difficulties of effective exploration. The St. Mary fault places Lower Kitchener Formation in the south against Middle Aldridge to the north, indicative of at least 1,200 meters of vertical movement.
19
Work History:
Several small exploration companies explored the area, by mapping and ground geophysics, in the 1950s. Magnetic responses resulted in two short holes through overburden which hit a magnetic gabbro intrusion.
In the 1970s, Texas Gulf Sulfurs first drill hole (TGS71-1) hit a significant sulfide zone at subcrop which is interpreted as occurring at Sullivan time horizon. The bands of bedded, high percentage sulfide are dominantly iron sulfides (pyrrhotite and pyrite) occurring over approximately 6 m true thickness with anomalous lead and zinc values. The drilling also identified the east-west striking Polaris fault. Subsequent drilling was unsuccessful in penetrating the same horizon due to erosion and faulting. In 1999, the Pit claims were drilled about two kilometers west of the original discovery hole however the faulting and a dramatic increase in metamorphic grade made correlation to the 1971 hole impossible.
Between 2002 and 2004, drilling by Klondike Gold recognized that the potential host stratigraphy (i.e., Middle Aldridge Formation and Sullivan time) was present at depth between the regional St. Mary fault and the Polaris fault, an east-west striking fault which juxtaposes Middle Aldridge on the south with Lower Aldridge on the north. The western boundary of the host stratigraphy is likely formed by a north trending thrust fault identified by previous drilling (1999-2000) .Exploration on the Pit/Ash property was dormant from 2004 until 2012.
2012 Work:
The 2012 work was concentrated along the south boundary of the property, and north of the St. Mary River in an attempt to define the controlling structures in the area, and determine the extent of favorable Middle Aldridge stratigraphy and the Sullivan horizon. Mapping, combined with a ground geophysical survey was successful in increasing understanding of the complex structures in the area. Further work is recommended.
Vine JV
Ownership: 100 % Klondike Gold Corp.
Location: The Vine property is north and west of Moyie Lake, Fort Steele Mining District, 11 km southwest of Cranbrook.
Size: 82 claims covering 6,028 hectares
Minerals: Lead, zinc, silver, gold
Property Geology:
The Vine property is entirely underlain by Middle Aldridge stratigraphy and a number of included Moyie intrusions (gabbro sills), shear-related vein systems have been noted on the property and in adjacent PJX Resources in ground.
On May 1, 2012, the Company announced it has entered into an option agreement with PJX Resources Inc. (PJX) The agreement allows PJX to obtain a 50% undivided interest to the Klondike Golds Vine Project, Under the terms of the option PJX is committed to spending a total of $1,500,000 over five years on the property, of which $1,000,000 must be spent on drilling. PJX will also issue up to 200,000 shares to the Klondike Gold.
South Vine
Ownership: 100 % Klondike Gold Corp.
Location: The South Vine property is north of Moyie Lake, Fort Steele Mining District, 14 km southwest of Cranbrook. This property is contiguous with the Vine JV, but is not included in the PJX Resources option agreement.
Size: 23 claims covering 1,366 hectares
Minerals: Gold, lead, zinc, silver
Property Geology: The South Vine property is entirely underlain by Middle Aldridge stratigraphy and a number of Moyie intrusions (gabbro sills). Shear-related vein systems and placer gold occurrences have been noted on the property.
Cruz-Midway
Ownership: 100 % Klondike Gold Corp.
Location: 25 km south of Cranbrook, BC, South of Moyie Lake, Fort Steele Mining District
Size: 52 claims covering 2,236 hectares
Minerals: Lead, zinc, silver
20
Property Geology:
The area is underlain by Middle Proterozoic Aldridge Formation
2012 Work:

Cold Creek
Ownership: 100 % Klondike Gold Corp.
Location: Located 15 km east of the community of Yahk and about 55 km south of Cranbrook, B.C. in the Fort Steele Mining division
Size: 29 claims covering 7,135 hectares
Minerals: Lead, zinc, silver
Property Geology:
The area is underlain by Middle Proterozoic Aldridge Formation and a western quartzitic facies referred to as the Ramparts Facies; these rocks correlate with the host rocks of the Sullivan deposit at Kimberley. Several thick Moyie gabbroic sills intrude the succession, and tourmalinites, conglomerates, and vein lead-zinc mineralization, indicators of sedex mineralization, are abundant throughout the area.
Work Completed To Date:
In 2001 Klondike Gold optioned the property and drilled several short holes on the slopes east of Cold Creek, mainly to test a large stratabound tourmalinite occurrence and a soil geochemical anomaly. Klondike Gold also drilled a deep hole (540 meters) south of the area in the valley of Hawkins Creek.
The latest deep hole intersected interlayered Ramparts Facies and Lower Aldridge stratigraphy, suggesting proximity to a Sullivan age growth fault, an important control in exploration for sedex mineralization. Further deep drilling is warranted.
Red Point
Ownership: 100 % Klondike Gold Corp.
Location: Trail Mining District, approximately 5 km east of Rossland.
Size: 9 claims covering 3,259 hectares
Minerals: Copper, Gold
Property Geology:
The Red Point area is underlain by Elise Formation metavolcanic and metasedimentary rocks that are exposed in a 1.5 to 2.5 km wide embayment in the east-trending Rossland monzonite. Numerous north-trending dykes cut all lithologies. A high-grade gold-quartz vein, the Cathedral, trends easterly, parallel to the trend of similar style mineralization in the Rossland camp. Disseminated and fracture controlled mineralization occurs in the northwestern part of the area and this has been the focus of past exploration drilling and more recent drilling by Klondike Gold.
Work Completed To Date:
Diamond drilling was conducted in 1988 and 1997 by previous operators, and in 2006 and 2007 by Klondike Gold. Considerable prospecting, geologic mapping, a regional airborne geophysical survey and a soil geochemical survey have been conducted.
2012 Work:
Site visit by Klondike Gold geologist, consultants, and prospective partners.
Clubine
Ownership: 100 % Klondike Gold Corp.
Location: 5 km north of Salmo, southeastern British Columbia, Nelson Mining District
Size: 5 claims covering 232 hectares
Minerals: gold, silver, copper, zinc, lead
21
Property Geology:
The Clubine property contains two mineralized zones, a lower shear-related quartz-gold-silver-sulphide vein and an upper lead-zinc-silver zone characterized by a broad geochemical anomaly and thin, mainly quartz-galena veins. The high grade gold-silver vein has had some past production, recovering 3,900 ounces of gold, 7,700 ounces of silver and 818 kg of copper from 3,666 tonnes of ore. It is an east dipping vein structure, typically up to one meter wide, which has been drilled through a vertical relief of approximately 200 meters and a strike length of 130 meters. The structure is open to depth and along strike. Vein minerals include quartz, siderite, pyrite, chalcopyrite and galena with minor pyrrhotite, sphalerite and tetrahedrite.
Work Completed to Date:
Past mining (1926-1942) and underground development; soil surveys, trenching and diamond drilling to test both the upper (Maggie) lead-zinc-silver zone and the Clubine vein. Klondike Gold conducted a ground VLF-EM survey in 2007 and a 14-hole diamond drill program in 2009-2010.
Ron Gold
Ownership: 100 % Klondike Gold Corp.
Location: Nelson Mining District, 5 km southeast of Nelson
Size: 29 claims covering 1,167 hectares
Minerals: Copper, Silver, Gold
Property Geology:
The property is underlain mainly by mafic to intermediate plutonic rocks of the Eagle Creek Complex which intrudes mafic volcanic rocks of the Early Jurassic Elise Formation. These rocks are cut by prominent northwest trending shears, part of the Silver King shear zone that extends more than 40 km to the south. Several styles of mineralization are recognized, including gold-quartz veins and shear zones, and widely dispersed copper mineralization, typical of an alkalic copper-gold porphyry system.
Work Completed To Date:
The property was optioned to Klondike Gold from Jack Denny and work done to date by Klondike Gold includes mapping and sampling in 2003 and during the 2008 field season limited geological mapping and prospecting and a soil geochemical survey was conducted, mainly on the eastern portion of the claim group. In September 2009, Klondike Gold entered into an option/joint venture agreement with Anglo Swiss Resources Inc. for Anglo Swiss to earn up to a 60% interest in the Ron Gold property.
2012 Development:
The property was recently released from option by Anglo Swiss Resources and Klondike Gold is currently reviewing opportunities for this property.
Ontario
Matarrow Property
In February 2007, Klondike Gold announced it had acquired a 100% interest in the Matarrow mine property, located approximately six kilometers southwest of the Matachewan gold camp in Yarrow township, Ontario. New terms were signed on December 10, 2008. Consideration for the property consisted of $42,500 (paid), 170,000 shares (issued) and a work commitment of $45,000 (completed). There is a 2% net smelter return payable, of which half may be purchased for $1,000,000.
The Matarrow mine consists of a three-compartment shaft and workings on the 150 and 300-foot levels. In 1952/1953, the Property produced approximately 40,000 tons of ore averaging 6.13% lead-zinc. Sphalerite (zinc), galena (lead) and silver occur in carbonate veins in "veined shatter zones" associated with a banded iron formation (BIF) that is 60 metres in width and extends for two kilometers along strike. These shatter zones may be feeder systems to a massive sulphide orebody related to the iron formation, or remobilized mineralization from a massive sulphide orebody.
In 1965, a geophysical EM survey performed in the area identified two major conductors. The first is in the shaft area and the second is located east of the shaft area. The second conductive zone exhibits a high conductivity with reported widths up to 60 feet. The second anomaly which is approximately 1,200 feet in length has only one recorded drill hole. This hole reportedly intersected a very heavily mineralized zone with pyrite and pyrrhotite from 122 to 156 feet, and a second mineralized zone from 252 to 315 had anomalous sections of gold and copper.
22
In 1996, Opawica Explorations Inc. drilled a single deep hole (MAT96-6) beneath the existing mine workings and intersected the South and North Veins which reported values of lead and zinc. The intersections are approximately 220 meters vertically below surface. Klondike Golds drill hole was collared approximately 60 meters south of Opawicas drill hole MAT96-6 at -70 degrees, intersecting also intersected values of zinc and lead approximately 375 meters vertically below surface. Both the North and South Vein systems appear to coalesce at depth, dip subvertically and display continuity to the mineralized system at these greater depths.
The second drill hole twinned a 1953 drill hole and encountered massive sections of pyrrhotite and pyrite. Klondike Gold is planning a program of stripping and trenching as well as MMI geochemical sampling, and follow-up diamond drilling for the Matarrow Property.
Exchange Controls
There are no governmental laws, decrees, regulations or other legislation of Canada that may affect the import or export of capital, or the remittance of dividends, interest or other payments to non-resident holders of Klondike Gold common shares, other than potential Canadian withholding tax requirements in respect of such remittances.
Legal Proceedings
There are no legal or arbitration proceedings, including those relating to bankruptcy, receivership or similar proceedings, or those involving any third party (including any governmental proceedings) that may have, or have had in the recent past, significant adverse effects on Klondike Golds financial position. In addition, there are no material proceedings in which any director or member of senior management of Klondike Gold, or any of Klondike Golds affiliates, is either a party adverse to Klondike Gold or its subsidiaries or has a material interest adverse to Klondike Gold or its subsidiaries.
Taxation
The following is a general discussion of the income tax aspects under Canadian law relating to ownership of Klondike Golds Common Shares. These income tax aspects will vary according to the circumstances of each shareholder, including his place of residence and the place in which he carries on business or has a permanent establishment, as the case may be, so that a shareholder must investigate the tax consequences of his personal situation by obtaining advice from his own tax advisor. This summary does not consider U.S. federal or state income tax provisions or Canadian Provincial income tax provisions, which may be at variance with the provisions contained in the Income Tax Act (Canada) and is not intended to be, nor should it be construed as, legal or tax advice.
Dividends paid to a non-resident of Canada, including distributions or redemptions which are treated as dividends and certain stock dividends, are subject to Canadian income tax. The Canadian non-resident withholding tax would be withheld by the Company who would remit only the net amount to the shareholder. By virtue of Article X of the Canada United States Tax Convention, which came into force on August 16, 1984, (and was amended by the Protocol signed on September 21, 2007), the rate of tax for dividends paid to a resident of the U.S. is limited to 15%. The withholding tax rate is reduced to 5% for a corporate shareholder owning at least 10% of the voting stock of the Company, either directly or through an entity that is considered fiscally transparent under the laws of the United States and is not a resident of Canada. In the absence of any treaty provisions, the rate of tax imposed would be 25% of the applicable amounts.
Stock dividends received by non-residents from Klondike Gold would be subject to Canadian non-resident withholding tax as noted above, to the extent that the paid-up capital of Klondike Gold has been increased as a result of the stock dividend.
Gain from the sale of Common Shares of Klondike Gold by a non-resident of Canada will not be subject to Canadian tax provided the shareholder has not held a "substantial interest" (25% or more of the shares of any class of Klondike Gold stock) in Klondiek Gold, at any time in the five preceding years. By virtue of Article XIII of the Canada-United States Tax Convention, shareholders who are resident in the United States and hold a substantial interest in the Klondike Gold's Common Shares will not be subject to Canadian tax on gain from sale of the shares of Klondike Gold provided that the value of the shares does not derive principally from real property situated in Canada.

Two of these properties, the Lone Star and Indian River Placer properties, are in the advanced exploration stage and have been the principal focus of Klondike Stars past exploration programs. Klondike Star has not carried out any exploration programs since 2007.
Properties
Klondike Star has a number of mineral interests in properties situated in Canada, the principal two of which are described in more detail below.
25
Lone Star Property
Klondike Star holds a 55% undivided interest in 728 mineral claims and 14 Crown Grants comprising 13,750 hectares located 20 miles south of Dawson City in the Dawson Mining Division of the Yukon Territory (the Lone Star Property). The remaining 45% interest in the Lone Star Property is held by Klondike Gold. In June of 2011, Klondike Star and Klondike Gold entered into an option agreement with Lonestar Gold Inc. (Lonestar) which granted Lonestar the option to acquire up to a 100% right, title and interest in and to the Lone Star Property. Further particulars of the terms of the option agreement and the geology and work history on the Lone Star Property can be found herein under the heading The Companies - Klondike Gold - Properties - Yukon Properties - Lone Star Property.
Indian River Property
Klondike Star owns a 100% interest, subject to a 10% gross royalty on production from the property (the "Royalty"), in 188 placer gold claims located at the junction of the Indian River and Montana Creek approximately 75 minutes drive from Dawson City in the Dawson Mining Division of the Yukon Territory (the Indian River Placer Property). Pursuant to a Royalty & Lease Agreement, Klondike Star granted a lease on the property, subject to the Royalty, to Klondike Gold, who has entered into a joint venture with a third party to develop and mine the property. (See The Companies Klondike Gold Properties Yukon Properties Indian River Placer Property herein for further particulars of the joint venture and work conducted on the property.)
Klondike Star has not carried out any exploration work on these, or any other of its properties, since 2007.

Changes in and Disagreements with Certifying Accountants
Klondike Star's certifying accountants for its last filed consolidated financial statements for the years ended February 29, 2008 and February 28, 2007 were the firm of PBM Helin Donovan LLP, Consultants and Certified Public Accountants,
26
("PBM"). For purposes of having its financial statements for the years ended February 29, 2012, and February 28, 2011, audited, Klondike Star, in lieu of re-engaging PBM, on September 6, 2012, engaged the firm of Dale Matheson Carr-Hilton Labonte LLP, Chartered Accountants, to serve as Klondike Star's registered independent public accountants and complete the audits.
During the two years ended February 29, 2008, and February 28, 2007, and for the period through to September 6, 2012, there were no disagreements between Klondike Star and PBM on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure nor were there any reportable events as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
REASONS FOR THE OFFER
Klondike Gold believes that the combination of the assets of Klondike Gold and Klondike Star will create significant value for Klondike Star shareholders and give Klondike Star shareholders a substantial ongoing equity interest in Klondike Gold. The stock-for-stock exchange represents an immediate premium to Klondike Star shareholders and an ability to participate in and benefit from the improved financial strength and flexibility of Klondike Gold. We believe the combination of Klondike Gold and Klondike Star is a compelling opportunity for Klondike Star shareholders with numerous benefits, including the following:
·
Consolidation of Key Properties
Klondike Gold and Klondike Star own respectively a 45% and a 55% interest in 728 quartz claims and 14 Crown Grants situated in the Klondike Gold Fields of the Yukon Territory which have been optioned to Lonestar Gold Inc., a private company owned approximately 80% by Klondike Gold and 20% by Klondike Star, which claims have been the principal exploration focus of both companies in their most recent activities. Through this exchange offer, ownership of these claims will now be consolidated into one entity, under the control of Klondike Gold.
·
Improved Financial Strength
As public companies with no income stream, both Klondike Star and Klondike Gold rely on the sale of their equity securities to finance their operations. For some time, the market for Klondike Star shares has been depressed, leaving its management unable to raise funds for the exploration of its mineral interests or the administration of its corporate affairs. With the combination of the two companies, Klondike Star shareholders will benefit from the more active equity market for the securities of Klondike Gold, which has had experience attracting investors for offerings of its equity securities. Consolidation of the ownership of the Lone Star Property in Klondike Gold will enhance the ability to further finance the development of the property.
·
Proven Management Team
Klondike Gold's management team has extensive experience exploring and developing mineral properties, including in the Yukon Territory, and in the administration of public companies and satisfying all the regulatory requirements related thereto. This experience is recognized in the industry and provides Klondike Gold ready access to the equity markets. Klondike Star shareholders, on becoming shareholders of Klondike Gold, will benefit from the improved management of both the exploration and development programs to be undertaken and the administration of the corporate affairs of the Company.
·
Participation in On-going Growth Potential
The all-stock nature of the exchange offer will allow the shareholders of Klondike Star to participate in the growth and long-term value creation potential of the combined assets of the company under the direction of Klondike Gold. Klondike Star shareholders, through their ongoing equity ownership in Klondike Gold, would benefit from any value created in the mineral properties by Klondike Gold.
·
Receipt of Premium by Klondike Star Shareholders
In addition to the long-term benefits arising out of ownership in Klondike Gold, Klondike Star shareholders will also be receiving a premium in the offer. Klondike Star shareholders would receive a premium in the order of 40% to the average exchange ratio based on closing share prices for Klondike Gold and Klondike Star during the 10-day period ended February 1, 2013.
THE EXCHANGE OFFER
Klondike Gold is offering to exchange for each outstanding share of Klondike Star common stock that is validly tendered, and not properly withdrawn prior to the expiration date, .25 restricted shares of Klondike Gold common stock, upon the terms and subject to the conditions contained in this offer to exchange and the accompanying letter of transmittal.
The term expiration date means 5:00 p.m., Pacific time, [*], unless Klondike Gold extends the period of time for which the offer is open, in which case the term expiration date means the latest time and date on which the offer, as so extended, expires.
27
The offer is subject to a number of conditions which are described in the section of this offer to exchange entitled The Exchange OfferConditions of the Offer. Klondike Gold expressly reserves the right, subject to the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC, to waive any condition of the offer described herein in its discretion, except for the conditions described under the subheading TSX-V Condition, under the caption The Exchange OfferConditions of the Offer below, each of which cannot be waived. Klondike Gold expressly reserves the right to make any changes to the terms and conditions of the offer (subject to any obligation to extend the offer pursuant to the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC), including, without limitation, with respect to increasing or decreasing the consideration payable per share of Klondike Star common stock in the offer.
If you are the record owner of your shares and you tender your shares in the offer, you will not have to pay any brokerage fees or similar expenses. If you own your shares through a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee and your broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee tenders your shares on your behalf, your broker or such other nominee may charge a fee for doing so. You should consult your broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee to determine whether any charges will apply.
The purpose of the offer is for Klondike Gold to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Klondike Star common stock in order to combine the assets of Klondike Gold and Klondike Star. Klondike Gold believes that a business combination of Klondike Gold and Klondike Star will significantly benefit Klondike Star shareholders and is therefore taking the offer directly to Klondike Star shareholders.
Prior to making this exchange offer to the Klondike Star shareholders, Klondike Gold secured agreements with certain principal shareholders of Klondike Star that those shareholders would tender their shares on the exchange offer being made. Further, management of Klondike Star has provided written confirmation to Klondike Gold that they support the exchange offer.
Based on certain assumptions regarding the number of Klondike Star shares to be exchanged, Klondike Gold estimates that if all shares of Klondike Star common stock are exchanged pursuant to the offer, former Klondike Star shareholders would own, in the aggregate, approximately 16.4% of the outstanding shares of Klondike Gold common stock. For a detailed discussion of the assumptions on which this estimate is based, please see Ownership of Klondike Gold After the Offer below.
Expiration Date of the Offer
The offer is scheduled to expire at 5:00 p.m., Pacific time, 60 days from mailing, which is the initial expiration date, unless further extended by Klondike Gold. For more information, you should read the discussion below under Extension, Termination and Amendment.
Extension, Termination and Amendment
Subject to the applicable rules of the SEC and the terms and conditions of the offer, Klondike Gold expressly reserves the right (but will not be obligated) (1) to extend, for any reason, the period of time during which the offer is open, (2) to delay acceptance for exchange of, or exchange of, shares of Klondike Star common stock in order to comply in whole or in part with applicable laws (any such delay shall be effected in compliance with Rule 14e-1(c) under the Exchange Act, which requires Klondike Gold to pay the consideration offered or to return shares of Klondike Star common stock deposited by or on behalf of shareholders promptly after the termination or withdrawal of the offer), (3) to amend or terminate the offer without accepting for exchange of, or exchanging, shares of Klondike Star common stock if any of the individually subheaded conditions referred to in the section of this offer to exchange entitled The Exchange OfferConditions of the Offer have not been satisfied or if any event specified in the section of this offer to exchange entitled The Exchange OfferConditions of the Offer under the subheading Other Conditions has occurred, and (4) to amend the offer or to waive any conditions to the offer at any time, in each case by giving oral or written notice of such delay, termination, waiver or amendment to the exchange agent and by making public announcement thereof.
Any such extension, delay, termination, waiver or amendment will be followed as promptly as practicable by public announcement thereof, which, in the case of an extension, will be made no later than 9:00 a.m., Pacific time, on the next business day after the previously scheduled expiration date. Subject to applicable law (including Rules 14d-4(d)(i), 14d-6(c) and 14e-1 under the Exchange Act, which require that material changes be promptly disseminated to shareholders in a manner reasonably designed to inform them of such changes), and without limiting the manner in which Klondike Gold may choose to make any public announcement, Klondike Gold will not have any obligation to publish, advertise or otherwise communicate any such public announcement other than by issuing a press release or other announcement.
28
Klondike Gold acknowledges that Rule 14e-1(c) under the Exchange Act requires Klondike Gold to pay the consideration offered or return the shares of Klondike Star common stock tendered promptly after the termination or withdrawal of the offer.
If Klondike Gold increases or decreases the percentage of shares of Klondike Star common stock being sought or increases or decreases the stock consideration to be paid for shares of Klondike Star common stock pursuant to the offer and the offer is scheduled to expire at any time before the expiration of 10 business days from, and including, the date that notice of such increase or decrease is first published, sent or given in the manner specified below, the offer will be extended until the expiration of 10 business days from, and including, the date of such notice. If Klondike Gold makes a material change in the terms of the offer (other than a change in the percentage of securities sought) or in the information concerning the offer, or waives a material condition of the offer, Klondike Gold will extend the offer, if required by applicable law, for a period sufficient to allow you to consider the amended terms of the offer. Klondike Gold will comply with Rule 14d-4(d)(2) under the Exchange Act in connection with material changes to the terms of the offer.
As used in this Offer to Exchange, a business day means any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or a Federal holiday, and consists of the time period from 12:01 a.m. through 12:00 midnight, Pacific time. If, prior to the expiration date, Klondike Gold increases the stock consideration being exchanged for shares of Klondike Star common stock pursuant to the offer, such increased consideration will be received by all shareholders whose shares of Klondike Star common stock are exchanged pursuant to the offer, whether or not such shares of Klondike Star common stock were tendered prior to the announcement of the increase of such consideration.
Pursuant to Rule 14d-11 under the Exchange Act, Klondike Gold may, subject to certain conditions, elect to provide a subsequent offering period of at least three business days in length following the expiration of the offer on the expiration date and acceptance for exchange of the shares of Klondike Star common stock tendered in the offer (we refer to this period in this offer to exchange as a subsequent offering period). A subsequent offering period would be an additional period of time, following the first exchange of shares of Klondike Star common stock in the offer, during which shareholders could tender shares of Klondike Star common stock not tendered in the offer.
During a subsequent offering period, tendering shareholders would not have withdrawal rights and Klondike Gold would promptly exchange and pay for any shares of Klondike Star common stock tendered at the same price paid in the offer. Rule 14d-11 under the Exchange Act provides that Klondike Gold may provide a subsequent offering period so long as, among other things, (1) the initial period of at least 20 business days of the offer has expired, (2) Klondike Gold offers the same form and amount of consideration for shares of Klondike Star common stock in the subsequent offering period as in the initial offer, (3) Klondike Gold immediately accepts and promptly pays for all shares of Klondike Star common stock tendered during the offer prior to its expiration, (4) Klondike Gold announces the results of the offer, including the approximate number and percentage of shares of Klondike Star common stock deposited in the offer, no later than 9:00 a.m., Pacific time, on the next business day after the expiration date and immediately begins the subsequent offering period and (5) Klondike Gold immediately accepts and promptly pays for shares of Klondike Star common stock as they are tendered during the subsequent offering period. If Klondike Gold elects to include a subsequent offering period, it will notify shareholders of Klondike Star by making a public announcement on the next business day after the expiration date consistent with the requirements of Rule 14d-11 under the Exchange Act.
Pursuant to Rule 14d-7(a)(2) under the Exchange Act, no withdrawal rights apply to shares tendered during a subsequent offering period and no withdrawal rights apply during the subsequent offering period with respect to shares tendered in the offer and accepted for exchange. The same consideration will be received by shareholders tendering shares of Klondike Star common stock in the offer or in a subsequent offering period, if one is included. Please see the section of this Offer to Exchange entitled The Exchange OfferWithdrawal Rights.
A request has been made to Klondike Star pursuant to Rule 14d-5 under the Exchange Act for the use of Klondike Star shareholder lists and security position listings for the purpose of disseminating the offer to shareholders. This offer, the letter of transmittal and all other relevant materials will be mailed to record holders of shares of Klondike Star common stock and will be furnished to brokers, dealers, banks, trust companies and similar persons whose names, or the names of whose nominees, appear on Klondike Star shareholders lists, or, if applicable, who are listed as participants in a clearing agencys security position listing for subsequent transmittal to beneficial owners of shares of Klondike Star common stock by Klondike Gold or, if it so elects, the materials will be mailed by Klondike Star.
29
Acceptance for Exchange, and Exchange, of Klondike Star Shares; Delivery of Klondike Gold Common Stock.
Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the offer (including, if the offer is extended or amended, the terms and conditions of any such extension or amendment), Klondike Gold will accept for exchange promptly after the later of the expiration date and the date that all of the conditions set out under "Conditions of the Offer" herein have been satisfied, all shares of Klondike Star common stock validly tendered (and not withdrawn in accordance with the procedure set out in the section of this Offer to Exchange entitled The Exchange OfferWithdrawal Rights) prior to the expiration date. Klondike Gold will exchange all shares of Klondike Star common stock validly tendered and not withdrawn promptly following the acceptance of shares of Klondike Star common stock for exchange pursuant to the offer. Klondike Gold expressly reserves the right, in its discretion, but subject to the applicable rules of the SEC, to delay acceptance for and thereby delay exchange of shares of Klondike Star common stock in order to comply in whole or in part with applicable laws or if any of the conditions referred to in the section of this Offer to Exchange entitled The Exchange OfferConditions of the Offer have not been satisfied or if any event specified in that section has occurred. If Klondike Gold decides to include a subsequent offering period, Klondike Gold will accept for exchange, and promptly exchange, all validly tendered shares of Klondike Star common stock as they are received during the subsequent offering period. Please see the section of this Offer to Exchange entitled The Exchange OfferWithdrawal Rights.
In all cases (including during any subsequent offering period), Klondike Gold will exchange all shares of Klondike Star common stock tendered and accepted for exchange pursuant to the offer only after timely receipt by the exchange agent of (1) the certificates representing such shares of Klondike Star common stock or timely confirmation (a book-entry confirmation) of a book-entry transfer of such shares of Klondike Star common stock into the exchange agents account at The Depository Trust Company pursuant to the procedures set forth in the section of this offer to exchange entitled The Exchange OfferProcedure for Tendering, (2) the letter of transmittal (or a manually signed facsimile thereof), properly completed and duly executed, with any required signature guarantees, in the case of a book-entry transfer, or an Agents Message (as defined below) and (3) any other documents required under the letter of transmittal. This Prospectus/Offer to Exchange refers to The Depository Trust Company as the Book-Entry Transfer Facility. As used in this Prospectus/Offer to Exchange, the term Agents Message means a message, transmitted by the Book-Entry Transfer Facility to, and received by, the exchange agent and forming a part of the book-entry confirmation which states that the Book-Entry Transfer Facility has received an express acknowledgment from the participant in the Book-Entry Transfer Facility tendering the shares of Klondike Star common stock that are the subject of such book-entry confirmation, that such participant has received and agrees to be bound by the letter of transmittal and that Klondike Gold may enforce such agreement against such participant.
For purposes of the offer (including during any subsequent offering period), Klondike Gold will be deemed to have accepted for exchange, and thereby exchanged, shares of Klondike Star common stock validly tendered and not properly withdrawn as, if and when Klondike Gold gives oral or written notice to the exchange agent of Klondike Golds acceptance for exchange of such shares of Klondike Star common stock pursuant to the offer. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the offer, exchange of shares of Klondike Star common stock accepted for exchange pursuant to the offer will be made by deposit of stock consideration being exchanged therefor with the exchange agent, which will act as agent for tendering shareholders for the purpose of receiving the offer consideration from Klondike Gold and transmitting such consideration to tendering shareholders whose shares of Klondike Star common stock have been accepted for exchange. Under no circumstances will Klondike Gold pay interest on the offer consideration for shares of Klondike Star common stock, regardless of any extension of the offer or other delay in making such exchange.
If any tendered shares of Klondike Star common stock are not accepted for exchange for any reason pursuant to the terms and conditions of the offer, or if certificates representing such shares are submitted representing more shares of Klondike Star common stock than are tendered, certificates representing unexchanged or untendered shares of Klondike Star common stock will be returned, without expense to the tendering shareholder (or, in the case of shares of Klondike Star common stock tendered by book-entry transfer into the exchange agents account at a Book-Entry Transfer Facility pursuant to the procedure set forth in the section of this offer to exchange entitled The Exchange OfferProcedure for Tendering, such shares of Klondike Star common stock will be credited to an account maintained at such Book-Entry Transfer Facility), promptly following the expiration or termination of the offer.
Klondike Gold reserves the right to transfer or assign, in whole or from time to time in part, to one or more of its affiliates, the right to exchange all or any portion of the shares of Klondike Star common stock tendered pursuant to the offer, but any such transfer or assignment will not relieve Klondike Gold of its obligations under the offer or prejudice the rights of tendering shareholders to exchange shares of Klondike Star common stock validly tendered and accepted for exchange pursuant to the offer.
30
Procedure for Tendering
In order for a holder of shares of Klondike Star common stock validly to tender shares of Klondike Star common stock pursuant to the offer, the exchange agent must receive, prior to the expiration date, the Letter of Transmittal (or a manually signed facsimile thereof), properly completed and duly executed, together with any required signature guarantees or, in the case of a book-entry transfer, an Agents Message, and any other documents required by the Letter of Transmittal, at one of its addresses set forth on the back cover of this offer and either (1) the certificates representing tendered shares of Klondike Star common stock must be received by the exchange agent at such address or such shares of Klondike Star common stock must be tendered pursuant to the procedure for book-entry transfer described below and a book-entry confirmation must be received by the exchange agent (including an Agents Message), in each case prior to the expiration date or the expiration of the subsequent offering period, if any, or (2) the tendering shareholder must comply with the guaranteed delivery procedures described below.
The method of delivery of share certificates and all other required documents, including delivery through the Book-Entry Transfer Facility, is at the option and risk of the tendering shareholder, and the delivery will be deemed made only when actually received by the exchange agent. If delivery is by mail, registered mail with return receipt requested, properly insured, is recommended. In all cases, sufficient time should be allowed to ensure timely delivery.
Book-Entry Transfer
. The exchange agent will establish accounts with respect to the shares of Klondike Star common stock at the Book-Entry Transfer Facility for purposes of the offer within two business days after the date of this offer. Any financial institution that is a participant in the system of the Book-Entry Transfer Facility may make a book-entry delivery of shares of Klondike Star common stock by causing the Book-Entry Transfer Facility to transfer such shares of Klondike Star common stock into the exchange agents account at the Book-Entry Transfer Facility in accordance with the Book-Entry Transfer Facilitys procedures for such transfer. However, although delivery of shares of Klondike Star common stock may be effected through book-entry transfer at the Book-Entry Transfer Facility, an Agents Message and any other required documents must, in any case, be received by the exchange agent at one of its addresses set forth on the back cover of this offer prior to the expiration date or the expiration of the subsequent offering period, if any, or the tendering shareholder must comply with the guaranteed delivery procedure described below.
Delivery of documents to the Book-Entry Transfer Facility does not constitute delivery to the exchange agent.
Signature Guarantees
. No signature guarantee is required on a Letter of Transmittal (1) if the Letter of Transmittal is signed by a registered holder of shares of Klondike Star common stock who has not completed either the box entitled Special Payment Instructions or the box entitled Special Delivery Instructions on the Letter of Transmittal or (2) if shares of Klondike Star common stock are tendered for the account of a financial institution that is a member of the Security Transfer Agent Medallion Signature Program, or by any other Eligible Guarantor Institution, as such term is defined in Rule 17Ad-15 under the Exchange Act (each of the foregoing being referred to as an Eligible Institution). In all other cases, all signatures on Letters of Transmittal must be guaranteed by an Eligible Institution. If a certificate representing shares of Klondike Star common stock is registered in the name of a person other than the signer of the Letter of Transmittal, then such certificate must be endorsed or accompanied by appropriate stock powers, in either case signed exactly as the name(s) of the registered holder(s) appear on the Share Certificate, with the signature(s) on such certificate or stock powers guaranteed by an Eligible Institution. Please see Instructions 1 and 5 of the Letter of Transmittal.
Guaranteed Delivery
. If a shareholder desires to tender shares of Klondike Star common stock pursuant to the offer and such shareholders certificate representing such shares of Klondike Star common stock are not immediately available, such shareholder cannot deliver such certificates and all other required documents to the exchange agent prior to the expiration date, or such shareholder cannot complete the procedure for delivery by book-entry transfer on a timely basis, such shares of Klondike Star common stock may nevertheless be tendered, provided that all the following conditions are satisfied:
(1) such tender is made by or through an Eligible Institution;
(2) a properly completed and duly executed notice of guaranteed delivery, substantially in the form made available by Klondike Gold, is received prior to the expiration date by the exchange agent as provided below; and
(3) the share certificates (or a book-entry confirmation) representing all tendered shares of Klondike Star common stock, in proper form for transfer, in each case together with the Letter of Transmittal (or a manually signed facsimile thereof), properly completed and duly executed, with any required signature guarantees or, in the case of a book-entry transfer, an Agents Message, and any other documents required by the Letter of Transmittal are received by the exchange agent within three trading days after the date of execution of such notice of guaranteed delivery.
31
The notice of guaranteed delivery may be delivered by hand or mail or by facsimile transmission to the exchange agent and must include a guarantee by an Eligible Institution in the form set forth in the notice of guaranteed delivery. The procedures for guaranteed delivery above may not be used during any subsequent offering period.
In all cases (including during any subsequent offering period), exchange of shares of Klondike Star common stock tendered and accepted for exchange pursuant to the offer will be made only after timely receipt by the exchange agent of the certificates representing such shares of Klondike Star common stock, or a book-entry confirmation of the delivery of such shares of Klondike Star common stock (except during any subsequent offering period), and the Letter of Transmittal (or a manually signed facsimile thereof), properly completed and duly executed, with any required signature guarantees or, in the case of a book-entry transfer, an Agents Message, and any other documents required by the Letter of Transmittal.
Determination of Validity
.
Klondike Golds interpretation of the terms and conditions of the offer (including the Letter of Transmittal and the instructions thereto) will be final and binding to the fullest extent permitted by law. All questions as to the form of documents and the validity, form, eligibility (including time of receipt) and acceptance for exchange of any tender of shares of Klondike Star common stock
will be determined by Klondike Gold in its discretion, which determination shall be final and binding to the fullest extent permitted by law.
Klondike Gold reserves the absolute right to reject any and all tenders determined by it not to be in proper form or the acceptance of or for exchange for which may, in the opinion of its counsel, be unlawful. Klondike Gold also reserves the absolute right to waive any condition of the offer to the extent permitted by applicable law or any defect or irregularity in the tender of any shares of Klondike Star common stock of any particular shareholder, whether or not similar defects or irregularities are waived in the case of other shareholders. No tender of shares of Klondike Star common stock will be deemed to have been validly made until all defects and irregularities have been cured or waived. None of Klondike Gold or any of its respective affiliates or assigns, the dealer managers, the exchange agent, the Information Agent or any other person will be under any duty to give any notification of any defects or irregularities in tenders or incur any liability for failure to give any such notification.
A tender of shares of Klondike Star common stock pursuant to any of the procedures described above will constitute the tendering shareholders acceptance of the terms and conditions of the offer, as well as the tendering shareholders representation and warranty to Klondike Gold that (1) such shareholder owns the tendered shares of Klondike Star common stock (and any and all other shares of Klondike Star common stock or other securities issued or issuable in respect of such shares of Klondike Star common stock), (2) the tender complies with Rule 14e-4 under the Exchange Act, (3) such shareholder has the full power and authority to tender, sell, assign and transfer the tendered shares of Klondike Star common stock (and any and all other shares of Klondike Star common stock or other securities issued or issuable in respect of such shares of Klondike Star common stock) and (4) when the same are accepted for exchange by Klondike Gold, Klondike Gold will acquire good and unencumbered title thereto, free and clear of all liens, restrictions, charges and encumbrances and not subject to any adverse claims.
The acceptance for exchange by Klondike Gold of shares of Klondike Star common stock pursuant to any of the procedures described above will constitute a binding agreement between the tendering shareholder and Klondike Gold upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the offer.
Appointment as Proxy
. By executing the letter of transmittal, or through delivery of an Agents Message, as set forth above, a tendering shareholder irrevocably appoints designees of Klondike Gold as such shareholders agents, attorneys-in-fact and proxies, each with full power of substitution, in the manner set forth in the Letter of Transmittal, to the full extent of such shareholders rights with respect to the shares of Klondike Star common stock tendered by such shareholder and accepted for exchange by Klondike Gold (and with respect to any and all other shares of Klondike Star common stock or other securities issued or issuable in respect of such shares of Klondike Star common stock on or after the date of this offer). All such powers of attorney and proxies shall be considered irrevocable and coupled with an interest in the tendered shares of Klondike Star common stock (and such other shares of Klondike Star common stock and securities). Such appointment will be effective when, and only to the extent that, Klondike Gold accepts such shares of Klondike Star common stock for exchange. Upon appointment, all prior powers of attorney and proxies given by such shareholder with respect to such shares of Klondike Star common stock (and such other shares of Klondike Star common stock and securities) will be revoked, without further action, and no subsequent powers of attorney or proxies may be given nor any subsequent written consent executed by such shareholder (and, if given or executed, will not be deemed to be effective) with respect thereto.

validly tendered, immediately upon Klondike Golds acceptance of shares of Klondike Star common stock for exchange, Klondike Gold must be able to exercise full voting, consent and other rights with respect to such shares of Klondike Star common stock (and such other shares of Klondike Star common stock and securities).
The foregoing proxies are effective only upon acceptance for exchange of shares of Klondike Star common stock tendered pursuant to the offer.

Material Federal Income Tax Consequences
The following is a summary of the anticipated material U.S. federal income tax consequences to U.S. holders (as defined below) of Klondike Star common stock who exchange Klondike Star common stock for Klondike Gold common stock pursuant to the offer. This discussion is based on provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder, and administrative and judicial interpretations thereof, all as in effect as of the date hereof and all of which are subject to change or differing interpretation, possibly with retroactive effect. This discussion does not address all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be applicable to holders of Klondike Star common stock in light of their particular circumstances or to holders of Klondike Star common stock subject to special treatment under U.S. federal income tax law including, without limitation:
·
foreign persons,
·
certain financial institutions,
·
insurance companies,
·
tax-exempt entities,
·
dealers in securities,
·
traders in securities that elect to apply a mark-to-market method of accounting,
·
certain U.S. expatriates,
·
U.S. holders who hold Klondike Star common stock as part of a straddle, hedge, conversion transaction or other integrated investment,
·
U.S. holders whose functional currency is not the United States dollar, and
·
U.S. holders who acquired Klondike Star common stock through the exercise of employee stock options or otherwise as compensation.
This discussion is limited to U.S. holders of Klondike Star common stock who hold their shares of Klondike Star common stock as capital assets and does not consider the tax treatment of U.S. holders of Klondike Star common stock who hold Klondike Star common stock through a partnership or other pass-through entity. Furthermore, this summary does not discuss any aspect of state, local or foreign taxation or any aspect of U.S. federal taxation other than income taxation.
You should consult your own tax advisor regarding the specific tax consequences to you of the exchange of your Klondike Star common stock, including the applicability and effect of federal, state, local and foreign income and other tax laws in light of your particular circumstances.
For purposes of this discussion, a U.S. holder is a beneficial owner of Klondike Star common stock who is: (i) a citizen or individual resident of the United States; (ii) a corporation or other entity taxable as a corporation created or organized under the laws of the United States or any of its political subdivisions; (iii) an estate that is subject to U.S. federal income tax on its income regardless of its source; or (iv) a trust (A) if a U.S. court is able to exercise primary supervision over its administration and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (B) that has made a valid election to be treated as a United States person for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
If a partnership (or other entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) holds Klondike Star common stock, the tax treatment of a partner in the partnership generally will depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. If you are a partnership or a partner of a partnership holding Klondike Star common stock, you should consult your own tax advisor regarding the tax consequences to you of exchanging Klondike Star common stock for Klondike Gold common stock pursuant to the offer.
It is not a condition to Klondike Golds obligation to exchange shares pursuant to the offer that a legal opinion to the effect described above be issued. If, contrary to expectations, the offer is completed, a U.S. holder of Klondike Star common stock that receives shares of Klondike Gold common stock in exchange for such holders shares of Klondike Star common stock pursuant to the offer will likely recognize taxable gain or loss equal to the difference between (i) the fair market value of the shares of Klondike Gold common stock as of the date of the exchange and (ii) such holders adjusted tax basis in the shares of Klondike Star common stock exchanged therefor. Gain or loss must be calculated separately for each block of shares of Klondike Star common stock if blocks of Klondike Star common stock were acquired at different times or for different prices. Such recognized gain or loss will constitute capital gain or loss, and will constitute long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. holders holding period for a particular block of Klondike Star common stock exchanged is greater than one year as of the date of the exchange.
34
You are urged to consult your own tax advisor concerning the specific U.S. federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences of the offer.
Purpose and Structure of the Offer

Effect of the Offer on the Market for Shares of Klondike Star Common Stock
The exchange of shares of Klondike Star common stock by Klondike Gold pursuant to the offer will reduce the number of shares of Klondike Star common stock that might otherwise trade publicly and will reduce the number of holders of shares of Klondike Star common stock, which could adversely affect the liquidity and market value of the remaining shares of Klondike Star common stock held by the public. The extent of the public market for Klondike Star common stock and the availability of quotations reported in the over-the-counter market depends upon the number of shareholders holding Klondike Star common stock, the aggregate market value of the shares remaining at such time, the interest of maintaining a market in the shares on the part of any securities firms and other factors.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
To the Shareholders of
Klondike Gold Corp.
Report on the consolidated financial statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Klondike Gold Corp., which comprise the consolidated statements of financial position as at February 29, 2012, February 28, 2011 and March 1, 2010 and the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss, changes in equity and cash flows for the years ended February 29, 2012 and February 28, 2011, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.
Managements responsibility for the consolidated financial statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditors responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing
standards and the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entitys preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entitys internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained in our audits is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, these consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Klondike Gold Corp. as at February 29, 2012, February 28, 2011 and March 1, 2010, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years ended February 29, 2012 and February 28, 2011 in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards
as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEARS ENDED FEBRUARY 29, 2012 AND FEBRUARY 28, 2011
(Expressed in Canadian dollars)
1
.
NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN
Klondike Gold Corp. (the Company) was incorporated on August 23, 1978 under the laws of the Province of British Columbia, Canada. The Company is a public company listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (the TSX.V), trading under the KG symbol. The address of the Companys corporate office and principal place of business is Suite 711, 675 West Hastings Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
Pursuant to the shareholders approval at the special meeting of shareholders held on October 27, 2010, the Company consolidated its common shares on a 15 to 1 basis. Effective November 3, 2010, the shares of the Company commenced trading on the TSX.V on a consolidated basis. All share references, number of options, number of warrants, and per share amounts included in these financial statements have been restated to reflect the consolidation and are presented on a post consolidation basis.
2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
a) Statement of Compliance
The financial statements of the Company for the year-ending February 29, 2012 have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), having previously prepared its financial statements in accordance with pre-changeover Canadian Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (Canadian GAAP). These consolidated financial statements for year ended February 29, 2012 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Financial Reporting, and as they are part of the Companys first IFRS annual reporting period, IFRS 1 First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards has been applied.
b) Basis of Measurement
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for financial instruments that have been measured at fair value. In addition, these consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting, except for cash flow information.
c) Foreign Currencies
The presentation currency of the Company and the functional currency of the Company and its subsidiary is the Canadian dollar.
Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing on the dates of the transactions. At each financial position reporting date, monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rates prevailing at the date of the statement of financial position. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.

YEARS ENDED FEBRUARY 29, 2012 AND FEBRUARY 28, 2011
(Expressed in Canadian dollars)
2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
(Continued)
d) Significant Accounting Judgments and Estimates
The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual outcomes could differ from these estimates. The consolidated financial statements include estimates which, by their nature, are uncertain. The impacts of such estimates are pervasive throughout the consolidated financial statements, and may require accounting adjustments based on future occurrences. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised and may affect both the period of revision and future periods.
Significant assumptions about the future and other sources of estimation uncertainty that management has made at the statement of financial position date, that could result in a
material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities, in the event that actual results differ from assumptions made, relate to, but are not limited to, the following:
·
The estimated flow-through obligations to investors included in accrued liabilities;
·
The carrying value and recoverable amount of exploration and evaluation assets;
·
The inputs used in accounting for share-based compensation expense in the statements of operations and comprehensive loss;
·
The inputs used in assessing the recoverability of deferred income tax assets to the extent that the deductible temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future and that the company will have future taxable income; and
·
Managements assumption that there are currently no decommissioning liabilities is based on the facts and circumstances that exist during the period.
3.
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accounting policies set out below adopted for the year ended February 29, 2012 have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these consolidated financial statements and in preparing the opening IFRS balance sheet at March 1, 2010 for the purposes of the transition to IFRS, unless otherwise indicated.
a)
Basis of Consolidation
These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, Lonestar Gold Inc. a 79.82% owned subsidiary and Klondike Reef Mines Ltd., a 61.68% owned inactive subsidiary. All intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated upon consolidation.
b)
Measurement Uncertainty
Managements capitalization of exploration and development costs and assumptions regarding the future recoverability of such costs are subject to significant measurement uncertainty. Managements assessment of recoverability is based on, among other things, the Companys estimate of current mineral reserves and resources which are supported by geological estimates, estimated gold and metal prices, and the procurement of all necessary regulatory permits and approvals. These assumptions and estimates could change in the future and this could materially affect the carrying value and the ultimate recoverability of the amounts recorded for mineral properties.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

c)
Financial Instruments and Risk Management
Financial assets
The Company classifies its financial assets into one of the following categories, depending on the purpose for which the asset was acquired. The Company's accounting policy for each category is as follows:
Fair value through profit or loss -
This category comprises derivatives, or financial assets acquired or incurred principally for the purpose of selling or repurchasing in the near term. They are carried in the statements of financial position at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in the statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
Loans and receivables -
These assets are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They are carried at amortized cost less any provision for impairment. Significant receivables are considered for impairment when they are past due or when other objective evidence is received that a specific counterparty will default.
Held-to-maturity investments
- These assets are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturities that the Company's management has the positive intention and ability to hold to maturity. These assets are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. If there is objective evidence that the investment is impaired, determined by reference to external credit ratings and other relevant indicators, the financial asset is measured at the present value of estimated future cash flows. Any changes to the carrying amount of the investment, including impairment losses, are recognized in the statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

- Non-derivative financial assets not included in the above categories are classified as available-for-sale. They are carried at fair value with changes in fair value recognized directly in equity. Where a decline in the fair value of an available-for-sale financial asset constitutes objective evidence of impairment, the amount of the loss is removed from equity and recognized in the statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
Transaction costs associated with fair value through profit or loss financial assets are expensed as incurred, while transaction costs associated with all other financial assets are included in the initial carrying amount of the asset.
All financial assets except for those at fair value through profit or loss are subject to review for impairment at least at each reporting date. Financial assets are impaired when there is objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. Different criteria to determine impairment are applied for each category of financial assets, which are described above.

Financial Instruments and Risk Management (Continued)
Financial liabilities
The Company classifies its financial liabilities into one of two categories, depending on the purpose for which the asset was acquired. The Company's accounting policy for each category is as follows:
Fair value through profit or loss
- This category comprises derivatives, or liabilities acquired or incurred principally for the purpose of selling or repurchasing in the near term. They are carried in the statement of financial position at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in the statement of operations and comprehensive loss.
Other financial liabilities -
This category includes loan payable, amounts due to related parties and accounts payables and accrued liabilities, all of which are recognized at amortized cost.
The Company has classified cash and reclamation bonds as fair value through profit or loss financial assets. Investments in marketable securities are classified as available for sale. Related party advances are classified as loans and receivables. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities and due to related parties are classified as other financial liabilities. Management did not identify any material embedded derivatives, which require separate recognition and measurement.
Disclosures about the inputs to financial instrument fair value measurements are made within a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to fair value measurement.
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are:
|
|
Level 1
|
Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
|
Level 2
|
Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly; and
|
Level 3
|
Inputs that are not based on observable market data
|
Financial instruments are exposed to credit, liquidity and market risks. Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss for the other party by failing to discharge an obligation. Liquidity risks is the risk that an entity will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities. Market risk is that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk comprises three types of price risk: currency risk, interest rate risk and other price risk.
Credit risk and liquidity risk on amounts due to creditors and amounts due from/to related parties were significant to the Companys balance sheet. The Company manages these risks by actively pursuing additional share capital issuances to settle its obligations in the normal course of its operating, investing and financing activities. The Companys ability to raise share capital is indirectly related to changing metal prices and the price of gold in particular. To mitigate this market risk, management of the Company actively pursues a diversification strategy with property holdings focusing on base metals as well as precious metals and diamonds.

d) Comprehensive Income
Other comprehensive income represents the change in net equity for the period that arises from unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale financial instruments. Amounts included in other comprehensive income are shown net of tax. Cumulative changes in other comprehensive income are included in accumulated other comprehensive income which is presented as a category in shareholders equity.
e)
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash consists of balances with banks and investments in financial instruments with maturities within three months or that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value. The Company places its cash and cash investments with institutions of high-credit worthiness.
f)
Exploration and Evaluation Assets
Exploration and evaluation expenditures include the costs of acquiring licenses, costs associated with exploration and evaluation activity, and the fair value (at acquisition date) of exploration and evaluation assets acquired in a business combination. Exploration and evaluation expenditures are capitalized as incurred. Costs incurred before the Company has obtained the legal rights to explore an area are recognized in profit or loss.
Exploration and evaluation assets are assessed for impairment if (i) sufficient data exists to determine technical feasibility and commercial viability, and (ii) facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount.
Facts and circumstances as defined in
IFRS 6 exploration and evaluation assets
are as follows:
·
the period for which the entity has the right to explore in the specific area has expired during the period or will expire in the near future, and is not expected to be renewed;
·
substantive expenditure on further exploration for and evaluation of mineral resources in the specific area is neither budgeted nor planned;
·
exploration for and evaluation of mineral resources in the specific area have not let to the discovery of commercially viable quantities of mineral resources and the entity has decided to discontinue such activities in the specific area;
·
sufficient data exist to indicate that, although a development in the specific area is likely to proceed, the carrying amount of the exploration and evaluation asset is unlikely to be recovered in full from successful development or by sale.
In making the assessment, management is required to make judgments on the status of each project and the future plans towards finding commercial reserves. The nature of exploration and evaluation activity is such that only a proportion of projects are ultimately successful and some assets are likely to become impaired in future periods.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
f) Exploration and Evaluation Assets (Continued)
Once the technical feasibility and commercial viability of the extraction of mineral resources in an area of interest are demonstrable, which management has determined to be indicated by a feasibility study, exploration and evaluation assets attributable to that area of interest are first tested for impairment and then reclassified to mining property and development assets.
Recoverability of the carrying amount of any exploration and evaluation assets is dependent on successful development and commercial exploitation, or alternatively, sale of the respective areas of interest.
It is managements judgement that none of the Companys exploration and evaluation assets have reached the development stage and as a result are all considered to be exploration and evaluation assets.
Although the Company has taken steps to verify title to mineral properties in which it has an interest, in accordance with industry standards for the current stage of exploration of such properties, these procedures do not guarantee the Companys title. Property may be subject to unregistered prior agreements and non-compliance with regulatory requirements. The Company is not aware of any disputed claims of title.
g)
Available-for-Sale Investments
Available for sale investments represent investments in public companies and have been designated as available-for-sale investments. The investments are reported at fair value based on quoted market prices with unrealized gains or losses excluded from operations and reported as other comprehensive income or loss.
The Company evaluates the carrying value of investments for impairment on a quarterly basis. In its impairment analysis, the Company takes into consideration numerous criteria, including the duration and extent of any decline in fair value, the intent and ability of the Company to hold the security for a period of time sufficient for a recovery in value and recent events specific to the issuer or industry. If a decline in value is determined to be other-than-temporary, the carrying value of the security is written down to fair value in the statement of operations.
h)
Equipment
Equipment assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. The cost of an item consists of the purchase price, any costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for its intended use. Depreciation is recorded at the following rates:
|
|
Vehicles
|
3 years straight line basis
|
Office equipment and computers
|
3 years straight line basis
|
Mining equipment and machinery
|
3 years straight line basis
|
In the year of acquisition, depreciation is provided at one-half the normal rate. An item of equipment is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on disposal of the asset, determined as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset, is recognized in profit or loss.

i) Impairment of Non-Financial Assets
Impairment tests on intangible assets with indefinite useful economic lives are undertaken annually at the financial year-end. Other non-financial assets, including exploration and evaluation assets are subject to impairment tests whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. Where the carrying value of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of value in use and fair value less costs to sell, the asset is written down accordingly.
Where it is possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the impairment test is carried out on the assets cash-generating unit, which is the lowest group of assets in which the asset belongs for which there are separately identifiable cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets. The Company has one cash-generating unit for which impairment testing is performed.
An impairment loss is recognized in the statement of operations, except to the extent they reverse gains previously recognized in other comprehensive income or loss.
j) Decommissioning Liabilities
The Company is subject to various government laws and regulations relating to environmental disturbances caused by exploration and evaluation activities. The Company records the present value of the estimated costs of legal and constructive obligations required to restore the exploration sites in the period in which the obligation is incurred. The nature of the rehabilitation activities includes restoration, reclamation and re-vegetation of the affected exploration sites.
The rehabilitation provision generally arises when the environmental disturbance is subject to government laws and regulations. When the liability is recognized, the present value of the estimated costs is capitalized by increasing the carrying amount of the related mining assets. Over time, the discounted liability is increased for the changes in present value based on current market discount rates and liability specific risks.
Additional environmental disturbances or changes in rehabilitation costs will be recognized as additions to the corresponding assets and rehabilitation liability in the period in which they occur.
k)
Share Capital
i)
Non-monetary consideration
Agents warrants, stock options and other equity instruments issued as purchase consideration in non-monetary transactions other than as consideration for mineral properties are recorded at fair value determined by management using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair value of the shares issued is based on the trading price of those shares on the TSX.V on the date of the agreement to issue shares as determined by the Board of Directors. Proceeds from unit placements are allocated between shares and warrants issued according to their relative fair value using the residual method.

k) Share Capital (Continued)
ii)
Flow-through shares
The Company will from time to time, issue flow-through common shares to finance a significant portion of its exploration program. Pursuant to the terms of the flow-through share agreements, these shares transfer the tax deductibility of qualifying resource expenditures to investors. On issuance, the Company bifurcates the flow-through share into i) a flow-through share premium, equal to the estimated premium, if any, investors pay for the flow-through feature, which is recognized as a liability, and ii) share capital. Upon expenses being incurred, the Company derecognizes the liability and recognizes a deferred tax liability for the amount of tax reduction renounced to the shareholders. The premium is recognized as other income and the related deferred tax is recognized as a tax provision.
Proceeds received from the issuance of flow-through shares are restricted to be used only for Canadian resource property exploration expenditures within a two-year period. The portion of the proceeds received but not yet expended at the end of the Companys period is disclosed separately as flow-through expenditure commitments.
The Company may also be subject to a Part XII.6 tax on flow-through proceeds, renounced under the Look-back Rule, in accordance with Government of Canada flow-through regulations. When applicable, this tax is accrued as a financial expense until paid.
iii) Share-based payments
The share option plan allows Company employees and consultants to acquire shares of the Company. The fair value of options granted is recognized as an employee or consultant expense with a corresponding increase in equity. An individual is classified as an employee when the individual is an employee for legal or tax purposes (direct employee) or provides services similar to those performed by a direct employee.
The fair value is measured at grant date, and each tranche is recognized using the graded vesting method over the period during which the options vest. The fair value of the options granted is measured using the Black-Scholes option pricing model taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the options were granted. At each financial position reporting date, the amount recognized as an expense is adjusted to reflect the actual number of share options that are expected to vest.
In situations where equity instruments are issued to non
‐
employees and some or all of the goods or services received by the entity as consideration cannot be specifically identified, they are measured at the fair value of the share
‐
based payment. Otherwise, share
‐
based payments are measured at the fair value of goods or services received.
iv) Share issuance costs
Costs directly identifiable with the raising of share capital financing are charged against share capital. Share issuance costs incurred in advance of share subscriptions are recorded as non-current deferred assets. Share issuance costs related to uncompleted share subscriptions are charged to operations.

l)
Income Taxes
Income tax expense comprises of current and deferred tax. Current tax and deferred tax are recognized in net income except to the extent that it relates to a business combination or items recognized directly in equity or in other comprehensive income or loss.
Current income taxes are recognized for the estimated income taxes payable or receivable on taxable income or loss for the current year and any adjustment to income taxes payable in respect of previous years. Current income taxes are determined using tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the year-end date.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized where the carrying amount of an asset or liability differs from its tax base, except for taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill and temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction which is not a business combination and at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss.
Recognition of deferred tax assets for unused tax losses, tax credits and deductible temporary differences is restricted to those instances where it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the deferred tax asset can be utilized. At the end of each reporting period the Company reassesses unrecognized deferred tax assets. The Company recognizes a previously unrecognized deferred tax asset to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
Income tax expense comprises of current and deferred tax. Current tax and deferred tax are recognized in net income except to the extent that it relates to a business combination or items recognized directly in equity or in other comprehensive income or loss.
Current income taxes are recognized for the estimated income taxes payable or receivable on taxable income or loss for the current year and any adjustment to income taxes payable in respect of previous years. Current income taxes are determined using tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the year-end date.
m)
Loss Per Share
Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing the loss for the period by the weighted average number of common shares issued and outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is calculated using the treasury stock method. Under the treasury stock method, the weighted average number of common shares outstanding used for the calculation of diluted loss per share assumes that the proceeds to be received on the exercise of dilutive stock options and warrants are used to repurchase common shares at the average market price during the period. Basic and diluted loss per share is equal as outstanding stock options and warrants were all anti-dilutive.

MANAGEMENT OF CAPITAL
The Company manages its cash, common shares, stock options and warrants as capital. The Companys objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Companys ability to continue as a going concern in order to pursue the development of its mineral properties and to maintain a flexible capital structure which optimizes the costs of capital at an acceptable risk. The Company does not have any externally imposed capital requirements to which it is subject.
The Company manages the capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may attempt to issue new shares, issue debt, acquire or dispose of assets or adjust the amount of cash and cash equivalents.
In order to facilitate the management of its capital requirements, the Company prepares expenditure budgets that are updated as necessary depending on various factors, including successful capital deployment and general industry conditions.
In order to maximize ongoing exploration efforts, the Company does not pay out dividends. The Companys investment policy is to keep its cash treasury on deposit in an interest bearing Canadian chartered bank account.

At February 29, 2012 and February 28, 2011, the Companys financial instruments which are measured at fair value on a recurring basis are cash and marketable securities which are classified as Level 1.
The Company has determined the estimated fair values of its financial instruments based on appropriate valuation methodologies; however, considerable judgement is required to develop certain of these estimates. The estimated fair value amounts can be materially affected by the use of different assumptions or methodologies.
The methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments are described below:
The Company is exposed to potential loss from various risks including commodity price risk, interest rate risk, currency risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. Based on the Companys operations the liquidity risk and commodity price risk are considered the most significant.

12. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT
(Continued)
The carrying values of the Companys accounts payable and accrued liabilities were a reasonable approximation of fair value.
a) Commodity Price Risk
The Companys ability to raise capital to fund exploration or development activities is subject to risk associated with fluctuations in the market prices of base and precious metals including gold, silver, zinc and lead, and the outlook for these metals. The Company does not have any hedging or other derivative contracts respecting its operations.
Market prices for metals historically have fluctuated widely and are affected by numerous factors outside of the Companys control, including, but not limited to, levels of worldwide production, short-term changes in supply and demand, industrial and retail demand, central bank lending,
and forward sales by producers and speculators. The Company has elected not to actively manage its commodity price risk, as the nature of Companys business is in exploration.
b)
Liquidity Risk
The liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they come due. The Company manages its liquidity risk through careful management of its financial obligations in relation to its cash position. Using budgeting processes the Company manages its liquidity requirements based on expected cash flow to ensure there are adequate funds to meet the short term obligations during the year.
During the past year the Company has been able to maintain its liquidity position through private placements.
13. INCOME TAXES
The recovery of income taxes shown in the statements of loss and deficit differs from the amounts obtained by applying statutory Federal and Provincial tax rates to the years ended February 2012 and 2011:

The Company is permitted, under Canadian income tax legislation, to renounce flow-through related resource expenditures to investors in advance of the Company incurring the expenditure. In accordance with this legislation, the Company has twelve months following the effective date of renunciation to incur the expenditures. The Company begins incurring interest charges for unspent funds after one month and fees for unspent funds at the end of the calendar year following the effective date of renunciation, and until such time as funds are fully expended.

(Continued)
b)
The Company granted incentive stock option on 2,000,000 shares in the capital of the Company to directors and officers and on 2,000,000 shares to consultants and employees of the Company. The options are exercisable for a period of five years at a price of $0.20 per share.
c)
The Company announced it had entered into an option agreement with PJX Resources Inc. (PJX). The agreement allows PJX to obtain a 50% undivided interest to the Companys Vine Project located in British Columbia. To earn its interest PJX must spend $1,500,000 on the property over five years, of which $1,000,000 must be for drilling, and issue 200,000 shares.
d)
The Company purchased two mining claims from Kootenay Silver Inc. These claims are contiguous with the Companys Hughes Range property in British Columbia. The terms of the agreement are a onetime payment of $10,000 and should either of these two claims go into commercial production the Company will issue 250,000 shares to Kootenay Silver Inc.
15. FIRST TIME ADOPTION OF IFRS
The Companys financial statements for the year ending February 29, 2012 are the first annual financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS. IFRS 1, First Time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards, requires that comparative financial information be provided. As a result, the first date at which the Company has applied IFRS was March 1, 2010 (the Transition Date). IFRS 1 requires first time adopters to retrospectively apply all the effective IFRS standards as of the reporting date of February 29, 2012. However, it also provides for certain optional exemptions and certain mandatory exceptions for first time IFRS adoption. Prior to the transition to IFRS, the Company prepared its financial statements in accordance with Canadian GAAP.
In preparing the Companys opening IFRS financial statements, the Company has adjusted amounts reported previously in financial statements prepared in accordance with Canadian GAAP.
The Company has applied the following exemptions to its opening statement of financial position dated March 1, 2010:
a) Business Combinations
IFRS1 indicates that a first-time adopter may elect not to apply IFRS 3
Business Combinations
retrospectively to business combinations that occurred before the date of transition to IFRS. The Company has taken advantage of this election and will apply IFRS 3 to business combinations that occur on or after March 1, 2010. There is no adjustment required to the March 1, 2010 statement of financial position on the transition date.
b) Share-based Payments
IFRS 1 encourages, but does not require, first-time adopters to apply IFRS 2
Share-based Payments
to equity instruments that were granted on or before November 7, 2002, or equity instruments that were granted subsequent to November 7, 2002 and vested before the later of the date of transition to IFRS and January 1, 2005. The Company has elected not to apply IFRS 2 to awards that vested prior to March 1, 2010.

15. FIRST TIME ADOPTION OF IFRS
(Continued)
c) Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements
In accordance with IFRS 1, if a company elects to apply IFRS 3
Business Combinations
retrospectively, IAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements must also be applied retrospectively. As the Company elected to apply IFRS 3 prospectively, the Company has also elected to apply IAS 27 prospectively.
d) Decommissioning Liabilities
The company has elected to apply the exemption from full retrospective application of decommissioning provisions as allowed under IFRS 1. As a result, the Company has re-measured the provisions at March 1, 2010 under IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets and determined that there is no adjustment required to the March 1, 2010 statement of financial position on the transition date.
e) Financial Instruments
The Company has elected to designate its cash and cash equivalents as FVTPL upon initial recognition in accordance with an investment strategy that management uses to evaluate performance on a fair value basis. This designation had no impact on the results and financial position of the Company as these financial assets were classified as held-for-trading under Canadian GAAP and recorded at fair value.
IFRS 1 also outlines specific guidelines that a first-time adopter must adhere to under certain circumstances. The Company has applied the following guidelines to its opening statement of financial position dated March 1, 2010:
Estimates
In accordance with IFRS 1, an entitys estimates under IFRS at the date of transition to IFRS must be consistent with estimates made for the same date under previous GAAP, unless there is objective evidence that those estimates were in error. The Companys IFRS estimates as of March 1, 2010 are consistent with its GAAP estimates for the same date.
IFRS employs a conceptual framework that is similar to Canadian GAAP. However, some differences exist in certain matters of recognition, measurement and disclosure. The adoption of IFRS has resulted in reclassifications in the Companys reported financial position as at March 1, 2010, May 31, 2010 and February 28, 2011. In order to allow the users of the financial statements to better understand these changes, the Companys Canadian GAAP statements of operations and comprehensive loss and cash flows for May 31, 2010 and February 28, 2011 have been reconciled to IFRS, with the resulting differences explained, below.

15. FIRST TIME ADOPTION OF IFRS
(Continued)
Explanation of Reconciling Differences
a)
Flow-Through Shares
Under IFRS, the Company bifurcates the flow-through share into i) a flow-through share premium, equal to the estimated premium, if any, investors pay for the flow-through feature, which is recognized as a liability, and ii) share capital. Upon expenses being incurred, the Company recognizes a deferred tax liability for the amount of the tax deduction renounced to the shareholders and the premium liability is reversed. The reversal of the premium liability and the deferred tax liability are recognized as tax recoveries to the extent that suitable deferred tax assets are available. Under Canadian GAAP, the Company recorded the tax cost of expenditures renounced to subscribers on the date the deductions were renounced to the subscribers. Share capital was reduced and future income tax liabilities were increased by the tax cost of expenditures renounced to the subscribers, except that the amount was recognized as a tax recovery to the extent that suitable future tax assets were available.
As a result, for issuances of flow
‐
through shares for which expenditures have been incurred, share capital was increased by $2,688,300 at the date of transition (February 28, 2011
‐
increased by $2,895,600) and deficit was increased by $2,702,550 on the date of transition (February 28, 2011
‐
$2,926,686). The effect on net loss for the year ended February 28, 2011 was a recovery of $224,136.
Where flow
‐
through shares were issued at a premium but expenditures were not incurred by the end of the reporting period, a liability is shown in “Flow
‐
through Share Premium Liability”. This resulted in a liability of $14,250 on the date of transition (February 28, 2011
‐
$16,836).
b)
Reclassification Within Equity
IFRS requires an entity to present for each component of equity, reconciliation between the carrying amount at the beginning and end of the period, separately disclosing each change. The Company examined its Contributed Surplus and Accumulated Other Comprehensive (Income) Loss accounts and concluded that as at the Transition Date, the balance of $2,298,834 (February 28, 2011 - $2,597,634) relates to Share-based Payments Reserve and Available-For-Sale Financial Assets Reserve was a loss of $6,240 (February 28, 2011 loss of $7,675). The amounts in Contributed Surplus and Accumulated Other Comprehensive (Income) Loss have been reclassified to Reserves in the statement of financial position. The Share-based Payments Reserve and the Available-for-Sale Financial Assets Reserve is separately disclosed on the statement of changes in equity.

NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN
Klondike Gold Corp. (the Company) was incorporated on August 23, 1978 under the laws of the Province of British Columbia, Canada. The Company is a public company listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (the TSX.V), trading under the KG symbol. The address of the Companys corporate office and principal place of business is Suite 711, 675 West Hastings Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
Pursuant to the shareholders approval at the special meeting of shareholders held on October 27, 2010, the Company consolidated its common shares on a 15 to 1 basis. Effective November 3, 2010, the shares of the Company commenced trading on the TSX.V on a consolidated basis. All share references, number of options, number of warrants, and per share amounts included in these condensed consolidated financial statements have been restated to reflect the consolidation and are presented on a post consolidation basis.
2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
a) Statement of Compliance
These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34,
Interim Financial Reporting
("IAS 34"), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"), and its interpretations, using accounting policies consistent with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"). The policies applied in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements are presented below and are based on IFRS issued and outstanding as of November 30, 2012. Any subsequent changes to IFRS that are given effect in our annual condensed consolidated financial statements for the year ending February 28, 2013 could result in restatements of these condensed consolidated interim financial statements. None of these standards are expected to have a significant effect on the condensed consolidated financial statements.
b) Basis of Measurement
These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for financial instruments that have been measured at fair value. In addition, these condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting, except for cash flow information.
c) Foreign Currencies
The presentation currency of the Company and the functional currency of the Company and its subsidiary is the Canadian dollar.
Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing on the dates of the transactions. At each financial position reporting date, monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rates prevailing at the date of the statement of financial position. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
(Continued)
d) Significant Accounting Judgments and Estimates
The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual outcomes could differ from these estimates. The condensed consolidated financial statements include estimates which, by their nature, are uncertain. The impacts of such estimates are pervasive throughout the condensed consolidated financial statements, and may require accounting adjustments based on future occurrences. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised and may affect both the period of revision and future periods.
Significant assumptions about the future and other sources of estimation uncertainty that management has made at the statement of financial position date, that could result in a
material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities, in the event that actual results differ from assumptions made, relate to, but are not limited to, the following:
·
The estimated flow-through obligations to investors included in accrued liabilities;
·
The carrying value and recoverable amount of exploration and evaluation assets;
·
The inputs used in accounting for share-based compensation expense in the statements of operations and comprehensive loss;
·
The inputs used in assessing the recoverability of deferred income tax assets to the extent that the deductible temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future and that the company will have future taxable income; and
·
Managements assumption that there are currently no decommissioning liabilities is based on the facts and circumstances that exist during the period.
3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accounting policies set out below adopted for the year ended February 29, 2013 have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these condensed consolidated financial statements, unless otherwise indicated.
c)
Basis of Consolidation
These condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, Klondike Gold Corp. Portugal Unipessoal Lda. a 100% owned foreign subsidiary operating in Portugal, Lonestar Gold Inc. a 79.82% owned subsidiary and Klondike Reef Mines Ltd., a 61.68% owned inactive subsidiary and
KG46 Holdings Inc. a 50% owned joint venture. All intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated upon consolidation.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
d)
Measurement Uncertainty
Managements capitalization of exploration and development costs and assumptions regarding the future recoverability of such costs are subject to significant measurement uncertainty. Managements assessment of recoverability is based on, among other things, the Companys estimate of current mineral reserves and resources which are supported by geological estimates, estimated gold and metal prices, and the procurement of all necessary regulatory permits and approvals. These assumptions and estimates could change in the future and this could materially affect the carrying value and the ultimate recoverability of the amounts recorded for mineral properties.
c)
Financial Instruments and Risk Management
Financial assets
The Company classifies its financial assets into one of the following categories, depending on the purpose for which the asset was acquired. The Company's accounting policy for each category is as follows:
Fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)-
This category comprises derivatives, or financial assets acquired or incurred principally for the purpose of selling or repurchasing in the near term. They are carried in the statements of financial position at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in the statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
Loans and receivables -
These assets are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They are carried at amortized cost less any provision for impairment. Significant receivables are considered for impairment when they are past due or when other objective evidence is received that a specific counterparty will default.
Held-to-maturity investments
- These assets are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturities that the Company's management has the positive intention and ability to hold to maturity. These assets are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. If there is objective evidence that the investment is impaired, determined by reference to external credit ratings and other relevant indicators, the financial asset is measured at the present value of estimated future cash flows. Any changes to the carrying amount of the investment, including impairment losses, are recognized in the statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
Available-for-sale
- Non-derivative financial assets not included in the above categories are classified as available-for-sale. They are carried at fair value with changes in fair value recognized directly in equity. Where a decline in the fair value of an available-for-sale financial asset constitutes objective evidence of impairment, the amount of the loss is removed from equity and recognized in the statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
Transaction costs associated with fair value through profit or loss financial assets are expensed as incurred, while transaction costs associated with all other financial assets are included in the initial carrying amount of the asset. All financial assets except for those at fair value through profit or loss are subject to review for impairment at least at each reporting date. Financial assets are impaired when there is objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. Different criteria to determine impairment are applied for each category of financial assets, which are described above.

Financial Instruments and Risk Management (Continued)
Financial liabilities
The Company classifies its financial liabilities into one of two categories, depending on the purpose for which the asset was acquired. The Company's accounting policy for each category is as follows:
Fair value through profit or loss
- This category comprises derivatives, or liabilities acquired or incurred principally for the purpose of selling or repurchasing in the near term. They are carried in the statement of financial position at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in the statement of operations and comprehensive loss.
Other financial liabilities -
This category includes loan payable, amounts due to related parties and accounts payables and accrued liabilities, all of which are recognized at amortized cost.
The Company has classified cash and reclamation bonds as fair value through profit or loss financial assets. Investments in marketable securities are classified as available for sale. Related party advances are classified as loans and receivables. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities and due to related parties are classified as other financial liabilities. Management did not identify any material embedded derivatives, which require separate recognition and measurement.
Disclosures about the inputs to financial instrument fair value measurements are made within a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to fair value measurement.
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are:
|
|
Level 1
|
Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
|
Level 2
|
Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly; and
|
Level 3
|
Inputs that are not based on observable market data
|
Financial instruments are exposed to credit, liquidity and market risks. Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss for the other party by failing to discharge an obligation. Liquidity risks is the risk that an entity will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities. Market risk is that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk comprises three types of price risk: currency risk, interest rate risk and other price risk.
Credit risk and liquidity risk on amounts due to creditors and amounts due from/to related parties were significant to the Companys balance sheet. The Company manages these risks by actively pursuing additional share capital issuances to settle its obligations in the normal course of its operating, investing and financing activities. The Companys ability to raise share capital is indirectly related to changing metal prices and the price of gold in particular. To mitigate this market risk, management of the Company actively pursues a diversification strategy with property holdings focusing on base metals as well as precious metals and diamonds.

d) Comprehensive Income
Other comprehensive income represents the change in net equity for the period that arises from unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale financial instruments. Amounts included in other comprehensive income are shown net of tax. Cumulative changes in other comprehensive income are included in accumulated other comprehensive income which is presented as a category in shareholders equity.
i)
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash consists of balances with banks and investments in financial instruments with maturities within three months or that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value. The Company places its cash and cash investments with institutions of high-credit worthiness.
j)
Exploration and Evaluation Assets
Exploration and evaluation expenditures include the costs of acquiring licenses, costs associated with exploration and evaluation activity, and the fair value (at acquisition date) of exploration and evaluation assets acquired in a business combination. Exploration and evaluation expenditures are capitalized as incurred. Costs incurred before the Company has obtained the legal rights to explore an area are recognized in profit or loss.
Exploration and evaluation assets are assessed for impairment if (i) sufficient data exists to determine technical feasibility and commercial viability, and (ii) facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount.
Facts and circumstances as defined in
IFRS 6 exploration and evaluation assets
are as follows:
·
the period for which the entity has the right to explore in the specific area has expired during the period or will expire in the near future, and is not expected to be renewed;
·
substantive expenditure on further exploration for and evaluation of mineral resources in the specific area is neither budgeted nor planned;
·
exploration for and evaluation of mineral resources in the specific area have not let to the discovery of commercially viable quantities of mineral resources and the entity has decided to discontinue such activities in the specific area;
·
sufficient data exist to indicate that, although a development in the specific area is likely to proceed, the carrying amount of the exploration and evaluation asset is unlikely to be recovered in full from successful development or by sale.
In making the assessment, management is required to make judgments on the status of each project and the future plans towards finding commercial reserves. The nature of exploration and evaluation activity is such that only a proportion of projects are ultimately successful and some assets are likely to become impaired in future periods.

f) Exploration and Evaluation Assets (Continued)
Once the technical feasibility and commercial viability of the extraction of mineral resources in an area of interest are demonstrable, which management has determined to be indicated by a feasibility study, exploration and evaluation assets attributable to that area of interest are first tested for impairment and then reclassified to mining property and development assets.
Recoverability of the carrying amount of any exploration and evaluation assets is dependent on successful development and commercial exploitation, or alternatively, sale of the respective areas of interest.
It is managements judgement that none of the Companys exploration and evaluation assets have reached the development stage and as a result are all considered to be exploration and evaluation assets.
Although the Company has taken steps to verify title to mineral properties in which it has an interest, in accordance with industry standards for the current stage of exploration of such properties, these procedures do not guarantee the Companys title. Property may be subject to unregistered prior agreements and non-compliance with regulatory requirements. The Company is not aware of any disputed claims of title.
k)
Available-for-Sale Investments
Available for sale investments represent investments in public companies and have been designated as available-for-sale investments. The investments are reported at fair value based on quoted market prices with unrealized gains or losses excluded from operations and reported as other comprehensive income or loss.
The Company evaluates the carrying value of investments for impairment on a quarterly basis. In its impairment analysis, the Company takes into consideration numerous criteria, including the duration and extent of any decline in fair value, the intent and ability of the Company to hold the security for a period of time sufficient for a recovery in value and recent events specific to the issuer or industry. If a decline in value is determined to be other-than-temporary, the carrying value of the security is written down to fair value in the statement of operations.
l)
Plant and Equipment
Plant and equipment assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. The cost of an item consists of the purchase price, any costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for its intended use. Depreciation is recorded at the following rates:
|
|
Vehicles
|
3 years straight line basis
|
Office equipment and computers
|
3 years straight line basis
|
Mining equipment and machinery
|
3 years straight line basis
|
Plant
|
10 years straight line basis
|
In the year of acquisition, depreciation is provided at one-half the normal rate. Derecognized occurs upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from continued use. Any gain or loss arising on disposal of the asset, determined as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset, is recognized in profit or loss.

i) Impairment of Non-Financial Assets
Impairment tests on intangible assets with indefinite useful economic lives are undertaken annually at the financial year-end. Other non-financial assets, including exploration and evaluation assets are subject to impairment tests whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. Where the carrying value of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of value in use and fair value less costs to sell, the asset is written down accordingly.
Where it is possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the impairment test is carried out on the assets cash-generating unit, which is the lowest group of assets in which the asset belongs for which there are separately identifiable cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets. The Company has one cash-generating unit for which impairment testing is performed.
An impairment loss is recognized in the statement of operations, except to the extent they reverse gains previously recognized in other comprehensive income or loss.
j) Decommissioning Liabilities
The Company is subject to various government laws and regulations relating to environmental disturbances caused by exploration and evaluation activities. The Company records the present value of the estimated costs of legal and constructive obligations required to restore the exploration sites in the period in which the obligation is incurred. The nature of the rehabilitation activities includes restoration, reclamation and re-vegetation of the affected exploration sites.
The rehabilitation provision generally arises when the environmental disturbance is subject to government laws and regulations. When the liability is recognized, the present value of the estimated costs is capitalized by increasing the carrying amount of the related mining assets. Over time, the discounted liability is increased for the changes in present value based on current market discount rates and liability specific risks.
Additional environmental disturbances or changes in rehabilitation costs will be recognized as additions to the corresponding assets and rehabilitation liability in the period in which they occur.
l)
Share Capital
i)
Non-monetary consideration
Agents warrants, stock options and other equity instruments issued as purchase consideration in non-monetary transactions other than as consideration for mineral properties are recorded at fair value determined by management using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair value of the shares issued is based on the trading price of those shares on the TSX.V on the date of the agreement to issue shares as determined by the Board of Directors. Proceeds from unit placements are allocated between shares and warrants issued according to their relative fair value using the residual method.

k) Share Capital (Continued)
ii)
Flow-through shares
The Company will from time to time, issue flow-through common shares to finance a significant portion of its exploration program. Pursuant to the terms of the flow-though share agreements, these shares transfer the tax deductibility of qualifying resource expenditures to investors. On issuance, the Company bifurcates the flow-through share into i) a flow-through share premium, equal to the estimated premium, if any, investors pay for the flow-through feature, which is recognized as a liability, and ii) share capital. Upon expenses being incurred, the Company derecognizes the liability and recognizes a deferred tax liability for the amount of tax reduction renounced to the shareholders. The premium is recognized as other income and the related deferred tax is recognized as a tax provision.
Proceeds received from the issuance of flow-through shares are restricted to be used only for Canadian resource property exploration expenditures within a two-year period. The portion of the proceeds received but not yet expended at the end of the Companys period is disclosed separately as flow-through expenditure commitments. The Company may also be subject to a Part XII.6 tax on flow-through proceeds, renounced under the Look-back Rule, in accordance with Government of Canada flow-through regulations. When applicable, this tax is accrued as a financial expense until paid.
iii) Share-based payments
The share option plan allows Company employees and consultants to acquire shares of the Company. The fair value of options granted is recognized as an employee or consultant expense with a corresponding increase in equity. An individual is classified as an employee when the individual is an employee for legal or tax purposes (direct employee) or provides services similar to those performed by a direct employee.
The fair value is measured at grant date, and each tranche is recognized using the graded vesting method over the period during which the options vest. The fair value of the options granted is measured using the Black-Scholes option pricing model taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the options were granted. At each financial position reporting date, the amount recognized as an expense is adjusted to reflect the actual number of share options that are expected to vest.
In situations where equity instruments are issued to non
‐
employees and some or all of the goods or services received by the entity as consideration cannot be specifically identified, they are measured at the fair value of the share
‐
based payment. Otherwise, share
‐
based payments are measured at the fair value of goods or services received.
iv) Share issuance costs
Costs directly identifiable with the raising of share capital financing are charged against share capital. Share issuance costs incurred in advance of share subscriptions are recorded as non-current deferred assets. Share issuance costs related to uncompleted share subscriptions are charged to operations.

l)
Income Taxes
Income tax expense comprises of current and deferred tax. Current tax and deferred tax are recognized in net income except to the extent that it relates to a business combination or items recognized directly in equity or in other comprehensive income or loss.
Current income taxes are recognized for the estimated income taxes payable or receivable on taxable income or loss for the current year and any adjustment to income taxes payable in respect of previous years. Current income taxes are determined using tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the year-end date.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized where the carrying amount of an asset or liability differs from its tax base, except for taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill and temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction which is not a business combination and at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss.
Recognition of deferred tax assets for unused tax losses, tax credits and deductible temporary differences is restricted to those instances where it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the deferred tax asset can be utilized. At the end of each reporting period the Company reassesses unrecognized deferred tax assets. The Company recognizes a previously unrecognized deferred tax asset to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
Income tax expense comprises of current and deferred tax. Current tax and deferred tax are recognized in net income except to the extent that it relates to a business combination or items recognized directly in equity or in other comprehensive income or loss.
Current income taxes are recognized for the estimated income taxes payable or receivable on taxable income or loss for the current year and any adjustment to income taxes payable in respect of previous years. Current income taxes are determined using tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the year-end date.
m)
Loss Per Share
Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing the loss for the period by the weighted average number of common shares issued and outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is calculated using the treasury stock method. Under the treasury stock method, the weighted average number of common shares outstanding used for the calculation of diluted loss per share assumes that the proceeds to be received on the exercise of dilutive stock options and warrants are used to repurchase common shares at the average market price during the period. Basic and diluted loss per share is equal as outstanding stock options and warrants were all anti-dilutive.

MANAGEMENT OF CAPITAL
The Company manages its cash, common shares, stock options and warrants as capital. The Companys objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Companys ability to continue as a going concern in order to pursue the development of its mineral properties and to maintain a flexible capital structure which optimizes the costs of capital at an acceptable risk. The Company does not have any externally imposed capital requirements to which it is subject.
The Company manages the capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may attempt to issue new shares, issue debt, acquire or dispose of assets or adjust the amount of cash and cash equivalents.
In order to facilitate the management of its capital requirements, the Company prepares expenditure budgets that are updated as necessary depending on various factors, including successful capital deployment and general industry conditions.
In order to maximize ongoing exploration efforts, the Company does not pay out dividends. The Companys investment policy is to keep its cash treasury on deposit in an interest bearing Canadian chartered bank account.

At November 30, 2012 and 2011, the Companys financial instruments which are measured at fair value on a recurring basis are cash and marketable securities which are classified as Level 1.
The Company has determined the estimated fair values of its financial instruments based on appropriate valuation methodologies; however, considerable judgement is required to develop certain of these estimates. The estimated fair value amounts can be materially affected by the use of different assumptions or methodologies.
The methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments are described below:
The Company is exposed to potential loss from various risks including commodity price risk, interest rate risk, currency risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. Based on the Companys operations the liquidity risk and commodity price risk are considered the most significant.

13. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT
(Continued)
The carrying values of the Companys accounts payable and accrued liabilities were a reasonable approximation of fair value.
a) Commodity Price Risk
The Companys ability to raise capital to fund exploration or development activities is subject to risk associated with fluctuations in the market prices of base and precious metals including gold, silver, zinc and lead, and the outlook for these metals. The Company does not have any hedging or other derivative contracts respecting its operations. Market prices for metals historically have fluctuated widely and are affected by numerous factors outside of the Companys control, including, but not limited to, levels of worldwide production, short-term changes in supply and demand, industrial and retail demand, central bank lending,
and forward sales by producers and speculators. The Company has elected not to actively manage its commodity price risk, as the nature of Companys business is in exploration.
c)
Liquidity Risk
The liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they come due. The Company manages its liquidity risk through careful management of its financial obligations in relation to its cash position. Using budgeting processes the Company manages its liquidity requirements based on expected cash flow to ensure there are adequate funds to meet the short term obligations during the year.
During the past year the Company has been able to maintain its liquidity position through private placements.
14. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Subsequent to the period ended November 30, 2012:
e)
The Company continues with a take-over bid for a majority equity interest in the common voting shares of Klondike Star Mineral Corporation (Klondike Star) a publicly traded Delaware company.

The offer is subject to the tender of a sufficient number of Klondike Star shares to provide the Company with a minimum 66.6% interest in Klondike Star.
f)
The Company announced a Private placement for up to $2,000,000 worth of flow through and non-flow through shares of the Company priced at $0.10 and $0.08 per share respectively with a maximum 25,000,000 shares to be sold. Each unit will consist of one Flow-through or non-flow-through common share and on-half of one non-transferable share purchase warrant with each full warrant entitling the holder to purchase one common share for three years at a price of $0.20 per share.

FINANCIAL REPORTS
102
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Stockholders and Board of Directors of Klondike Star Mineral Corporation:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Klondike Star Mineral Corporation (the Company) (an exploration stage company) as at February 29, 2012 and February 28, 2011 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders deficit and cash flows for the years then ended and the cumulative period from March 1, 2010 to February 29, 2012. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, based on our audits, these consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at February 29, 2012 and February 28, 2011 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has not generated revenues since inception, has incurred losses in developing its business, and further losses are anticipated. The Company requires additional funds to meet its obligations and the costs of its operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. Managements plans in this regard are described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 1
ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Nature of Operations
Klondike Star Mineral Corporation (hereinafter "the Company") is engaged in mineral exploration in the Yukon Territory, Canada. The Company was originally incorporated in 1999 under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Company was also registered in the Yukon Territory, Canada effective June 22, 2004. The Company maintains its head office in Whitehorse, Yukon Territory, Canada.
The Company has a wholly owned subsidiary, Klondike Star Canada Inc. (Klondike Star Canada) which is inactive.
The Companys consolidated financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis in accordance with US generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) which contemplates the realization of assets and discharge of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company is in the exploration stage. It has not generated operating revenues to date, and has accumulated losses of $62,778,338 since inception. The Company has funded its operations through the issuance of capital stock and debt. Management plans to raise additional funds through equity and/or debt financings. There is no certainty that further funding will be available as needed. These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue operating as a going concern. The Companys ability to continue its operations as a going concern, realize the carrying value of its assets, and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business is dependent upon its ability to raise new capital sufficient to fund its commitments and ongoing losses, and ultimately on generating profitable operations.
NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
This summary of significant accounting policies is presented to assist in understanding the financial statements. The financial statements and notes are representations of the Companys management, which is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.
Basis of Presentation
These consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and are expressed in United States dollars. The Company consolidates more-than-50% owned subsidiaries that it controls and entities over which control is achieved through means other than voting rights. These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary Klondike Star Canada (incorporated under the Canada Business Corporations Act). All significant transactions and balances among the companies included in the consolidated financial statements have been eliminated.
The Company has not produced revenues from its principal business and is an exploration stage company as defined by Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 915, Development Stage Entities.
Asset Retirement Obligations
The Company records the fair value of an asset retirement obligation as a liability in the period in which it incurs an obligation associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development and/or normal use of the assets. The estimated fair value of the asset retirement obligation is based on the current cost escalated at an inflation rate and discounted at a credit adjusted risk-free rate. This liability is capitalized as part of the cost of the related asset and amortized over its useful life. The liability accretes until the Company settles the obligation. To date the Company has not incurred any measurable asset retirement obligations.
Earnings/(loss) Per Share
The Company presents both basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share on the face of the statements of operations. Basic earnings/(loss) per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings/(loss) per share gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period including convertible debt, stock options, and warrants, using the treasury stock method. Diluted earnings/(loss) per share excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The estimated fair values for financial instruments are determined at discrete points in time based on relevant market information. These estimates involve uncertainties and cannot be determined with precision. The estimated fair value of cash,
108
accounts payable, advances payable and amounts due to related parties approximates their carrying value due to their short-term nature.
Foreign Currency Translation
The Companys functional currency is U.S. dollars. Monetary assets and liabilities of the Companys foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars at the year-end exchange rates, and revenue and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates during the year. Realized gains and losses from foreign currency transactions are reflected in the results of operations.
Mineral Exploration and Development Costs
In accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the Company expenses exploration costs as incurred. Significant property acquisition payments for active exploration properties are capitalized. If no minable ore body is discovered, previously capitalized costs are expensed in the period the property is abandoned. Expenditures to develop new mines, to define further mineralization in existing ore bodies, and to expand the capacity of operating mines, are capitalized and amortized on a units of production basis over proven and probable reserves.
Should a property be abandoned, its capitalized costs are charged to operations. The Company charges to operations the allocable portion of capitalized costs attributable to properties sold. Capitalized costs are allocated to properties sold based on the proportion of claims sold to the claims remaining within the project area.
Mineral Properties
Costs of acquiring mineral properties are capitalized by project area upon purchase of the associated claims. Costs to maintain the mineral rights and leases are expensed as incurred. When a property reaches the production stage, the related capitalized costs will be amortized, using the units of production method on the basis of periodic estimates of ore reserves.
Mineral properties are periodically assessed for impairment of value and any diminution in value is charged to operations at the time of impairment. Should a property be abandoned, its unamortized capitalized costs are charged to operations. The Company charges to operations the allocable portion of capitalized costs attributable to properties sold. Capitalized costs are allocated to properties abandoned or sold based on the proportion of claims abandoned or sold to the claims remaining within the project area.
Equipment
Equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation of equipment is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from three to ten years.
Provision for Taxes
Income taxes are determined using the liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities, if any, are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes that date of enactment. In addition, a valuation allowance is established to reduce any deferred tax asset for which it is determined that it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.
The Company accounts for uncertainty in income taxes by applying a two-step method. First, it evaluates whether a tax position has met a more likely than not recognition threshold, and second, it measures that tax position to determine the amount of benefit, if any, to be recognized in the financial statements. The application of this method
did not have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities known to exist as of the date the financial statements are published, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Uncertainties with respect to such estimates and assumptions are inherent in the preparation of the Companys financial statements; accordingly, it is possible that the actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions which could have a material effect on the reported amounts of the Companys financial position and results of operations.

Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance
Recent pronouncements with future effective dates are either not applicable or are not expected to be significant to the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

In October 2004, the Company entered into an agreement with a privately held company, which received the first right of refusal to purchase the majority of gold produced by the Company from the Klondike Mining District at a 2% discount from the LME spot price.

NOTES TO PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEAR ENDED FEBRUARY 29, 2012 AND NINE MONTHS ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 2012
(Unaudited)
(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
1.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Klondike Gold Corp. (the Company), a British Columbia corporation, is offering, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in Form F-4 of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission filed on February 11, 2013 comprising a Prospectus/Offer to Exchange each of the issued and outstanding shares of Klondike Star Mineral Corporation, a Delaware corporation (Klondike Star) common stock, par value $0.0001 per share for 0.25 shares of the Companys common stock, no stated par value. These unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements have been prepared in connection with the above noted proposed acquisition. All amounts are expressed in Canadian dollars unless otherwise indicated.
The unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of financial position as at February 29, 2012 and November 30, 2012 and the unaudited pro forma consolidated statements for the year ended February 29, 2012 and for the nine months ended November 30, 2012 have been prepared, for illustrative purposes, to give effect to the proposed acquisition of Klondike Star by the Company pursuant to the assumptions described in Note 3. These unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements have been prepared based on International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board and have been compiled from the following historical information:
a)
The Companys audited consolidated statement of financial position as at February 29, 2012 and the Companys audited statement of comprehensive loss for the year ended February 29, 2012; and
b)
Klondike Star Mineral Corporations audited consolidated balance sheet as at February 29, 2012 and Klondike Star Mineral Corporations audited statement of operations for the year ended February 29, 2012; and
c)
The Companys unaudited consolidated statement of financial position as at November 30, 2012 and the Companys unaudited statement of comprehensive loss for the nine months ended November 30; and
d)
Klondike Star Mineral Corporations unaudited consolidated balance sheet as at November 30, 2012 and Klondike Star Mineral Corporations unaudited statement of operations for the nine months ended November 30, 2012.
The unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of financial position as at February 29, 2012 and November 30, 2012 have been prepared as if the transactions described in Note 3 had occurred on February 29, 2012. The unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of comprehensive loss for the year ended February 29, 2012 and the nine months ended November 30, 2012 have been prepared as if the transactions described in Note 3 had occurred on March 1, 2011.
The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements are not intended to reflect the financial performance or the financial position of the Company, which would have actually resulted had the transactions been effected on dates indicated. Actual amounts recorded upon consummation of the agreement will likely differ from those recorded in the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statement information. Similarly, the calculation and allocation of the purchase price has been prepared on a preliminary basis and is subject to change between the time such preliminary calculations were made and closing as a result of several factors which could include among others: changes in fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed and the market price of the related shares. Any potential synergies that may be realized and integration costs that may be incurred upon consummation of the transactions have been excluded from the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements. Further, the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the financial performance that may be obtained in the future.
KLONDIKE GOLD CORP.
NOTES TO PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEAR ENDED FEBRUARY 29, 2012 AND NINE MONTHS ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 2012
(Unaudited)
(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
1.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
(Continued)
The unaudited pro forma statement of financial position should be read in conjunction with the description of the reorganization and restructuring in Form F-4, and the audited and unaudited financial statements of the Company and Klondike Star, including the notes thereto, included elsewhere in the filing statement.
2.
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accounting policies used in the preparation of these unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements are those set out in the Companys audited consolidated financial statements as at February 29, 2012. In preparing the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements, a review was undertaken to identify accounting policy differences between the Company and Klondike Star where the impact was potentially material. With the exception of items adjusted in Note 3, the significant accounting policies of Klondike Star conform in all material respects to those of the Company.
a)
Interests in joint ventures
A joint venture is a contractual arrangement pursuant to which the Company and other parties undertake an economic activity that is subject to joint control whereby the strategic financial and operating policy decisions relating to the activities of the joint venture require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control. Joint venture arrangements that involve the establishment of a separate entity in which each venturer has an interest are referred to as jointly controlled entities. The Company reports its interests in jointly controlled entities using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, investments in jointly controlled entities are carried in the consolidated statements of financial position at cost as adjusted for the Companys proportionate share of post-acquisition changes in the net assets of the joint ventures less any identified impairment loss. When the Companys share of losses of a joint venture equals or exceeds its interest in that joint venture, the Company recognizes its share of further losses to the extent that the Company has incurred legal or constructive obligations to fund the entity or make payments on behalf of that entity.
Where the Company undertakes its activities under joint venture arrangements through a direct interest in the joint ventures assets, rather than through the establishment of a separate entity, the Companys proportionate share of joint venture assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses are recognized in the consolidated financial statements and classified according to their nature.
Where the Company transacts with its jointly controlled entities, unrealized profits and losses are eliminated to the extent of the Companys interest in the joint venture. Balances outstanding between the Company and jointly controlled entities in which it has an interest are not eliminated in the consolidated statements of financial position.
b)
Exploration and Evaluation Assets
Exploration and evaluation property acquisition costs and exploration and evaluation expenditures are recorded at cost. When shares are issued as part of property acquisition costs, they are valued at the closing share price on the date of issuance unless the fair value of property exploration and evaluation rights is determinable. Payments relating to a property acquired under an option or joint venture agreement, where the payments are made at the sole discretion of the Company, are recorded in the accounts upon payment.
Option payments received are treated as a reduction of the carrying value of the related exploration and evaluation asset until the Companys option and/or royalty payments received are in excess of costs incurred and then are recognized in profit or loss.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(Continued)
b)
Exploration and Evaluation Assets
(Continued)
All exploration and evaluation costs including acquisition costs for interests in natural resource claims are classified and capitalized as intangible assets until the property to which they relate is placed into production, sold, allowed to lapse or abandoned. These costs will be amortized over the estimated useful life of the property following commencement of commercial production or will be written off if the property is sold, allowed to lapse, abandoned or determined to be impaired.
The acquisition of title to mineral properties is a detailed and time-consuming process. The Company has taken steps, in accordance with industry standards, to verify mineral properties in which it has an interest. Although the Company has made efforts to ensure that legal title to its properties is properly recorded in the name of the Company when all terms of agreements have been met, there can be no assurance that such title will ultimately be secured.
Cash which is subject to contractual restrictions on use is classified separately as reclamation deposits. Reclamation deposits are classified as loans and receivables.
c)
Impairment of Non-financial Assets
Equipment and exploration and evaluation assets are regularly tested for recoverability or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that its carrying amount may not be recoverable. Impairment of an exploration and evaluation assets is generally considered to have occurred if one of the following factors are present: the rights to explore have expired or are near to expiry with no expectation of renewal, no further substantive expenditures and planned, exploration and evaluation work is discontinued in an area for which commercially viable quantities have not been discovered, indications in an area with development likely to proceed that the carrying amount is unlikely to be recovered in full by development or by sale.
The recoverable amount is the higher of an assets fair value less cost to sell or its value in use. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the assets carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. Value in use is determined using discounted estimated future cash flows of the relevant asset. For the purpose of measuring recoverable amounts, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows which are cash-generating units.
The Company evaluates impairment losses for potential reversals when events or circumstances warrant such consideration.
