Klondike Star Exploring New Lone Star Gold Targets



    Donald W. Flinn, P.Eng., Vice-President, Operations for Klondike
    Star Mineral Corporation (OTCBB:KDSM) today announced that field work
    conducted to date in the 2007 exploration season continues to confirm
    and advance a number of promising gold targets at the Lone Star
    project. After completing structural and delineation drilling on the
    Lone Star zone last year, diamond and reverse circulation drilling is
    proceeding on the Buckland zone and the Pioneer zone. These are among
    nine known major exploration targets on the expansive 135.1 square
    km/52.2 square mi property. Ongoing work on the Lone Star Project
    includes bulk sampling, trenching, soil geochemistry and detailed
    geological mapping.

    The first diamond drill target tested this year was the Buckland
    zone, an area which has returned multiple intersections of gold
    mineralization for previous operators, but which has not been drilled
    by Klondike Star. This zone lies about one kilometre/0.62 miles south
    of the Lone Star zone and 0.5 kilometers/0.31 miles southeast of the
    Nugget zone, and occupies an area roughly 800 meters/2624.7 feet by
    300 meters/984.3 feet. The Buckland zone lies between Emile Gay Gulch
    and Oro Grande gulch, which have been significant producers of placer
    gold and are still being mined. Five holes have been completed in a
    fence which cuts across the centre of the zone, and tests the best IP
    anomalies identified by geophysical surveys in 2006. A total of 845
    meters/2772.3 feet have been drilled in the holes completed, and 710
    samples from the first 4 holes have been sent for analysis.

    The reverse circulation drill was moved to the Pioneer zone, which
    lies about 700 meters/2296.6 feet southeast of the Lone Star zone. The
    Pioneer zone was the focus of underground exploration for gold in the
    same era as the Lone Star mine (ca. 1911). Only 3 holes have
    previously been drilled in this area, with hole 87R-47 returning 0.60
    g/t gold over 50 meters/164 feet. A fence of several holes has been
    drilled, starting from above the Pioneer shaft and progressing
    northward downslope into a linear IP anomaly identified in 2006 which
    is thought to be the eastward extension of the Lone Star zone. This
    target is 200 meters/656.2 feet wide and at least 550 meters/1804.5
    feet long; the holes planned here represent a 400 meter/1312.3 foot
    step-out to the known Lone Star zone.

    Five bulk samples have been processed from the Lone Star zone to
    date in 2007. These samples were collected from the southern end of
    trench 87TR-16, and continue to extend the sampling of this area
    reported in 2006 (Press Release #3-2007: Klondike Star Releases Bulk
    Sampling Results Including 1.33 G/T Over 24 Meters). The 2006 work at
    this site included 10 contiguous bulk samples which cut the zone over
    a 67 meter/219.8 foot length, and which proved the zone to be
    continuously mineralized. The 5 samples collected in 2007 extend this
    trend an additional 30 meters/98.4 feet.

    A bulk test from a trench near the Pioneer zone is in progress -
    this is the first bulk sample from the Pioneer zone. A small bulk test
    from the 310 zone has also been processed. The 310 zone is a
    continuous, narrow vein located about 1500 meters/4921.3 feet
    southwest of Eldorado Creek on the Lone Star property. This vein has
    returned chip samples up to 1.12 g/t gold over 1.32 meters/4.3 feet.

    A cut-line grid totalling 20 line-kilometers has been completed in
    preparation for geophysical surveys at the JF zone. A detailed soil
    geochemical survey, with samples collected at 25 meter/82 foot
    intervals on lines spaced 100 meters/328.1 feet apart is in progress
    on this grid, and an IP survey is anticipated to start by early
    September. An extension to the discovery trench is planned within the
    next month. An area immediately south of the JF zone grid that had not
    previously been geochemically sampled has been tested with 299 samples
    over a 1 kilometer/0.62 mile square area.

    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. A geological map at 1:10,000
    scale has been produced for the Eldorado Dome - Lone Star ridge area.
    A detailed map of the Lone Star zone at 1:1,000 scale is also being
    produced by company geologists.

    Klondike Star's objective for the 2007 season at the Lone Star
    property is to be able to significantly advance the Buckland, JF and
    Pioneer targets, to improve the overall understanding and assessment
    of the scope mineralization on the property, and to extend the Lone
    Star zone a substantial distance to the east.

    The Lone Star is an advanced-stage hard-rock exploration project
    in the legendary Klondike gold-producing region, Yukon, Canada. An
    in-depth scoping study is progressing towards scheduled release by
    December 2007.
