Klondike Star's Indian River Placer Project Advances

Donald W. Flinn, Vice President, Operations for Klondike
Star Mineral Corporation (OTCBB:KDSM) is pleased to announce that
Klondike Star Mineral Corporation has acquired a strategic block of
placer gold mining claims in the heart of the Indian River Placer
Project.
A 49% interest has been taken in 29 claims filling in a gap
between existing groups of placer claims and leases owned 100% by
Klondike Star. The ground has been subject of extensive prospecting,
auger drilling, and sampling. High potential sites have already been
cleared for bulk sampling and test mining. Klondike Star is the
operator for the joint venture.
"With a scoping study for potential mine development in progress,
this strategic mineral rights acquisition advances prospects for the
Indian River Placer Project considerably", says Hans Boge, P.Eng.,
President, Klondike Star Mineral Corporation.
This arrangement increases Klondike Star's total placer claims in
the Dawson Mining District by 10% and the total area of placer mineral
rights holdings to an estimated 46 square kilometers (17.8 square
miles). The new properties come with a valid water use authorization
and a placer mining land use operating permit.
The Indian River Placer Project is an advanced exploration
property. (Press release #9, June 13, 2006) The bulk sampling and test
mining program currently underway is expected to incorporate one or
more sites in the new block of placer claims.
