Klondike Star Reports Indian River Test Mining Results



    Donald W. Flinn, Vice-President, Operations is pleased to announce
    the results of Klondike Star Mineral Corporation's (OTCBB:KDSM) placer
    bulk sample test mining program undertaken this summer/fall at a
    selected site on its placer gold property on the Indian River, located
    about 25 miles (or 40 kilometers) from Dawson City in the Klondike
    gold producing region of the Yukon, Canada.

    The objective of test mining, simulating actual mine production,
    is to strengthen the Company's knowledge and assessment of the
    economic potential of the mineralized areas delineated through two
    previous drilling programs (274 holes). The test further validates
    mineral resource estimates for business planning, and assesses the
    effectiveness of conventional mining methods.

    One test site was mined in September. A total of 7,249 cubic yards
    of placer gold bearing materials was processed. It is of note that the
    test cut was located in an area over previously drilled auger
    drill-holes. The grade indicated by auger drilling is only an
    indication of true grade, and it must be checked and calibrated by
    test mining. The test resulted in the recovery of 45.08 ounces of raw
    placer gold. The purity has yet to be determined. On the basis of
    preliminary analysis, the Company believes the test mining results, at
    this one site, correlate and improve on the general findings of the
    previous drill-holes on the site. The results from the test site in
    terms of gold recovered and the corroboration of drill-hole analysis
    contribute in a positive manner to the business case for an expanded
    test mining program in 2007.

    A conventional sluicing system was used to assess throughput and
    gold recovery. This method is commonly used in the Klondike, and other
    parts of the world, and is well suited to conditions along the Indian
    River. To assure quality control and reporting, the entire process was
    supervised by an established Canadian firm specializing in mine
    engineering and processing technology supported by an experienced
    placer mining team.

    An all-weather access road into the area was
    constructed. Subsequent to the mining test, additional sites were
    stripped, cleared and prepared for continuation of the test mining
    program immediately following spring break-up in 2007, bringing the
    total sites available for test mining to four.

    About the Indian River Placer Project

    The Indian River Placer Project is an advanced-stage exploration
    property entering early development with test mining, preliminary
    business planning for a production decision, and preparation of permit
    applications for expanded operations in progress. The Indian River
    Placer Project consists of 214 mineral claims plus 17 leases, totaling
    37 square kilometers or 14.3 square miles. The Indian River is
    emerging as one of the most active areas of new investment and
    productive placer mining in the Klondike region. The 2006 winter
    drilling recovered gold from 90% of 184 holes. The 2005 drilling
    program resulted in gold recovery from 87% of the 90 holes drilled.
    Klondike Star Mineral Corporation holds 100% ownership of 185 claims
    and 17 leases, as well as 49% interest in 29 additional claims
    acquired in the second quarter ended August 31, 2006. The goal is to
    develop a large-scale placer mine.

    underlying the site of the Klondike gold producing region in the
    Dawson mining district. These holdings include, but are not limited to
    properties known as the Lone Star Project and the Indian River Placer
    Project, both advanced stage exploration. Additionally, Klondike Star
    holds interests in 93 square kilometers (36 square miles) of select
    high potential targets for gold, base and precious metals in the
    Watson Lake and Whitehorse mining districts of the Yukon.
