Klondike Star Discovers New Mineralized Zone at Lone Star Gold Project



    Donald W. Flinn, P.Eng., Vice-President, Operations for Klondike
    Star Mineral Corporation (OTCBB:KDSM) today announced the discovery of
    a new gold-bearing zone at the Lone Star Project in the Klondike
    region, Yukon, Canada. This brings the known, large gold mineralized
    zones that are active exploration targets on the expansive 58.7 square
    mile (152 square kilometer) Lone Star Project to five.

    An exploration excavator trenching program has discovered a new
    gold zone near the centre of the Lone Star property. A 95 meter length
    of trench 06TR-06 returned highly anomalous values up to 2.32 g/t gold
    over a 5 meter interval. The last sample in the trench returned 1.27
    g/t gold over 5 meters. The zone is located 1.5 kilometers east of the
    Buckland zone, 1.5 kilometers southeast of the Lone Star zone, and is
    open in all directions. The new zone, named the "JF" zone, is not on
    trend with any previously known mineralization on the property.

    Bill Mann, M.Sc., Exploration Manager noted, "It is very
    encouraging to have made a brand new discovery in such a central
    location on our main Lone Star Project claim block. There is no
    indication of any previous exploration in this area, other than a soil
    geochemical survey."

    The decision to explore the area of the JF zone was based on the
    presence of a 400 meter by 500 meter soil geochemical gold anomaly,
    with a peak value of 291ppb gold. The soil survey was conducted in the
    mid 1980's, but was not followed up until 2006. The mineralized zone
    is hosted by rusty quartz-muscovite schist with no quartz veining
    noted. These rocks appear similar to those hosting the Lone Star zone,
    and occur in a similar structural setting above a gently dipping
    thrust fault. The zone is located in the headwaters of Gay Gulch, a
    rich placer stream named after miner Emile Gay who discovered gold at
    the gulch in 1897.

    The trench was sampled by 5 meter long continuous chip samples
    along a 480 meter long trench, with samples analyzed for 36 elements
    by the ICP method. The last 95 meters of the trench was found to be
    significantly mineralized with gold, and samples above 100ppb were
    re-analyzed by metallic sieve fire assay.

    Plans for the JF zone in 2007 will include extending the discovery
    trench at least 250 meters further to the west to cut across the soil
    anomaly, and re-sampling the mineralized zone at 2 meter intervals. An
    IP geophysical survey will be laid out to cover the area of the soil
    anomaly. Additional trenches will be laid out at offsets to the
    discovery trench, and an initial diamond drill test is planned for
    later in the summer.

    About the Lone Star Project

    Lone Star is an advanced exploration stage project that is being
    studied for mine development. Of its eight projects, Klondike Star is
    currently focusing exploration efforts at the majority-owned Lone Star
    Project. It is comprised of 1,056 mineral claims and crown grants
    involving an area of 152 square kilometers (or 58.7 square miles)
    including the Lone Star Zone, the Nugget Zone, the Buckland Shear
    Zone, the 27-Pup-Dysle-Veronika Zone and the new JF Zone. All five
    zones extend over large areas with excellent opportunity for the
    existence of multiple mineralized zones, along both strike and dip.
    They belong to a class of structures which have potential for large,
    medium-to-low grade, gold bearing ore bodies.

    The Lone Star Mine was built in 1912 and was the largest of the
    underground gold mines built in the Klondike. By 1914, the Lone Star
    Mine had produced 7,640 tons of ore (calculated to represent
    approximately a head grade of 0.202 oz/ton: Cathro, 1969, or 5.67
    grams/tonne) from an open cut which was connected to a 225 meter adit
    by means of an ore pass. An amalgamation 4-head stamp mill was built
    on Victoria Gulch and a gravity tramway connected this to the mine.
    The mine was closed at the outbreak of World War I. Various attempts
    at underground development took place between 1911 and 1948.

    Gold on the Lone Star property is present as coarse free gold,
    with pyrite in disseminations, and locally is associated with narrow
    discordant quartz veins. The mineralized zones are associated with
    quartz-carbonate-pyrite alteration, and are hosted by felsic
    metavolcanic schist.

    About Klondike Star

    Klondike Star Mineral Corporation is an established exploration
    and development company actively working on eight major properties,
    totalling 463 square kilometers or 179 square miles in the Yukon,
    Canada. The company is developing extensive surface and subsurface
    mineralized zones on a 370 square kilometer or 143 square mile land
    position 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 or 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.
