Klondike Star Advances Dominion Gold Project



    Donald W. Flinn, P.Eng., Vice-President, Operations for Klondike
    Star Mineral Corporation (OTCBB:KDSM) today announced that field work
    conducted in 2006 at the Dominion project has confirmed the presence
    of multiple, continuous gold-bearing structures that warrant testing
    by drilling. In addition, several significant new gold in soil
    anomalies were identified in areas with no apparent prior exploration.
    Work completed in 2006 consisted of soil geochemistry, regional and
    detailed geological mapping, trenching, chip sampling and bulk
    sampling.

    Drilling is proposed for 2007 at the JAE claims, which lie at the
    headwaters of Dominion, Gold Bottom and Hunker creeks, all of which
    have been significant producers of placer gold, and are still being
    actively mined. This area of the Dominion project hosts at least seven
    parallel gold - (silver) vein zones within an area of highly anomalous
    soil geochemistry that measures about 1.5 kilometers by 1 kilometer.
    Two of these zones, the Mitchell and Sheba have been outlined along
    hundreds of meters of length by previous exploration efforts since
    1900, including numerous trenches and shallow shafts, direct shipping
    of hand selected silver-rich ore (7.2 tonnes averaging 6090 g/t silver
    = 178 oz/ton), soil geochemistry and geophysics. Only 3 shallow drill
    holes, directed at the high grade silver have previously been drilled
    on the property. It is expected that further surface work on the other
    parallel zones will result in additional drill targets, possibly
    during the 2007 program.

    Work at JAE in 2006 included extending the soil geochemical
    anomaly to the southwest, mapping and chip sampling of various new and
    existing trenches, and processing of two bulk samples from the
    Mitchell and Hunker Dome zones. The Mitchell sample consisted 5.7
    tonnes of rusty schist without quartz veining, and returned 1.3 g/t
    gold. This indicates potential for bulk mineable material beyond the
    higher grade veins. The Hunker Dome zone bulk sample consisted of 2.3
    tonnes across several narrow quartz veins, and returned 4.0 g/t gold.

    Claims to the southeast of the JAE area were tested with
    widespread MMI soil geochemical survey lines, and have identified
    several large areas of gold in soil anomalies, up to 500 meters by
    1000 meters. The surveys successfully confirmed some areas with known
    mineralization, and identified new areas with no evidence of previous
    exploration.

    Klondike Star, in conjunction with the University of British
    Columbia Mineral Deposit Research Unit has been developing an
    exploration model for this area that combines an improved
    understanding of the structural geology with compilation of other data
    including airborne geophysics, geochronology, petrology and placer
    gold characteristics and distribution. The claims of the Dominion
    project are thought to be favourable as they cover mafic schists which
    may be preferentially mineralized, and which occur in the hangingwall
    of a thrust fault which may have produced favourable structural
    preparation. It is anticipated that this model will enable the company
    to focus on the highest potential targets. Plans for the Dominion
    project in 2007 include diamond drilling, trenching, bulk sampling, IP
    geophysical surveys, geological mapping and soil geochemistry.

    About the Dominion Project

    The Dominion Project includes an advanced exploration stage target
    at the JAE claims, as well as a large area with little previous
    exploration. Of Klondike Star's eight projects, the Dominion ranks
    second in importance after the Lone Star project. Dominion is
    comprised of 371 mineral claims involving an area of 62.8 square
    kilometers including the Mitchell zone, Sheba zone, Dome Lode and
    Lloyd zone. All 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.

    Gold on the Dominion property is present as coarse free gold, with
    pyrite in disseminations, and locally is associated with narrow
    discordant quartz veins. Three phases of vein mineralization have been
    identified, two that are gold-rich, and one that is silver-rich. The
    mineralized zones are associated with quartz-carbonate-pyrite
    alteration, and are hosted by mafic 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.
