VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, Oct 30, 2008 (MARKET 
via COMTEX News Network) --
Klondike Gold Corp. (TSX VENTURE: KG) is pleased to announce that the extension of the Irishman drill hole in southeastern British Columbia, on property joint ventured with Sedex Mining Corp., is progressing well. This morning the drill penetrated the upper part of the prospective Sullivan horizon. Examination of the drill core by Doug Anderson (P.Geo.) of the upper few tens of meters of the horizon showed that it contained visible sphalerite (zinc sulphide) and considerable disseminated pyrrhotite (iron sulphide) in massive, altered argillite, characteristic of distal fringes of sedex-type mineralization. The Sullivan horizon in the Irishman hole is exhibiting many characteristics of exhalite mineralization in a basin setting, including disseminated and vaguely laminated Zn and Fe sulphides, galena (lead sulphide) in small veinlets, variable alteration, thickened stratigraphy and fragmental units.
Drilling will continue through the Sullivan horizon, with the hope of intersecting more massive or laminated sulphide sections. Furthermore, comparison of the Sullivan horizon here with that in a 2005 Klondike hole, approximately two km to the east, will help in vectoring towards the source of exhalite mineralization in the southern part of the Panda basin.
