Klondike Star Expands Lone Star Zone
Donald W. Flinn, P.Eng., Vice-President, Operations for Klondike
Star Mineral Corporation (OTCBB:KDSM) is pleased to announce the
results from the first 6 holes drilled at the Lone Star zone of the
Lone Star Project this summer. Holes 06LS-04 to 06LS-09 were drilled
to the north of the previously defined zone, near the historic Boulder
Lode pit. Each hole intersected broad zones of consistently
mineralized low grade material containing narrower intervals at higher
grade (see following Table).
These six holes were drilled in pairs spaced 50 meters or 164 feet
apart, with HQ holes angled at -60 and -80 degrees to provide detailed
structural information. The holes were stepped out at least 60 meters
to the north from the collars of drill holes completed in 2005 and
prior. The zone appears to broaden to at least 100 meters wide in this
area, from a maximum width of about 80 meters where the zone has been
delineated further west. The zone also appears to remain open to the
north and east. The ongoing drill program subsequently stepped out
further to the north and east with 4 more holes, and then jumped to
the northwest to test for extensions in the O'Neil gulch area.
Drilling is expected to continue through October.
Gold on the 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.

HQ size drill core is delivered to the core shack by the drill
contractor where the geological staff photographs and logs the core
for geological and geotechnical details. The core is then sawn in half
lengthwise using a diamond saw, with half core retained for future
examination. The half core samples are sealed and shipped via surface
freight to Acme Analytical Laboratories Ltd. of Vancouver, B.C., an
ISO 9001:2000 accredited facility, where the core is dried, crushed
and analyzed for gold by metallic sieve fire assay.
