KLONDIKE GOLD DRILLS 600 METER STEP OUT FROM LONE STAR DEPOSIT AND INTERSECTS BROAD INTERVAL OF GOLD MINERALIZATION EXTENDING LONE STAR TARGET ZONE TO THE SOUTHWEST

Klondike Gold Corp. has released the drilling results from two holes that tested for gold mineralization along strike from the Lone Star zone mineral resource estimate (MRE) (1) area within the company's 100-per-cent-owned Klondike district property, located near Dawson City in Yukon, Canada.

Two exploratory diamond drill holes, LS22-492 and EC25-578, were completed 500-plus metres along strike to the southeast of the Lone Star zone. Drill hole LS22-492, located 500 metres southeast along strike of the Lone Star zone, intersected a broad interval of gold-bearing alteration, which returned assays averaging 0.29 gram per tonne (g/t) gold (Au) over 64.1 metres. Drill hole EC25-578, located approximately 700 metres southeast of the Lone Star deposit and on an adjacent alteration trend and structure, averaged 5.16 g/t Au over 1.0 metre at a depth of 81 metres. True widths of the reported intersections are not yet known. Both drill holes were designed to test the potential for extensions of alteration and mineralization associated with the Lone Star deposit.

Peter Tallman, president and chief executive officer of Klondike Gold, commented: "Growing the Lone Star zone is one of our top priorities, and new targets emerging from geology and structural adjustments based upon drilling completed in 2025 are steadily advancing this objective. The Lone Star MRE area as currently defined is 500 m in length at surface. These new intersections with assay results in LS2-492 and EC25-578 are 500-plus-metre stepouts along projected strike from the Lone Star zone. These results provide the company with firm targets in 2026 to drill test for a significant expansion of the Lone Star zone to the southeast."

As part of the company's 2025 exploration program, drill hole LS22-492 was relogged for detailed lithological and structural characteristics and extensively resampled. Alteration and gold mineralization identified in LS22-492 is now interpreted to extend 500 metres farther along strike within the Lone Star mineralization corridor. Additionally, LS22-492 is now interpreted to have stopped short of the lower felsic unit interpreted to be a principal target horizon for gold enrichment (2). This target horizon remains untested and represents a priority for follow-up with substantially deeper drilling.

During the third phase of the 2025 drilling program, hole EC25-578 was completed in the Pioneer/Frontier zone to follow up on high-grade historical surface sampling. Prospecting grab sample 2005504, collected in 2016, returned a highlight assay of 73.5 g/t Au, one of five grab samples that all assayed above 4.75 g/t Au. Hole EC25-578 intersected two interesting zones of gold mineralization. The lower zone from 78.0 to 82.5 metres intersected silicification plus two quartz veins, which averaged 1.56 g/t Au over the 4.5-metre interval.

Assay results reported herein from diamond drill core samples are collected and handled in accordance with the company's quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) protocols. Drill core samples were prepared and analyzed at MSA Labs (Prince George/Langley) using industry standard analytical methods and gold assays were completed using photon assay procedure. Rock assay sample results are 2016 prospecting rock results prepared and analyzed by Bureau Veritas Laboratories (Whitehorse/Vancouver) using industry standard analytical methods and gold assays were completed using fire assay procedure.

Exploration update

These results support the interpretation that the Lone Star mineralization corridor is open to the southeast beyond the limits of the currently defined Lone Star deposit. The presence of gold mineralization in both drill holes LS22-492 and EC25-578 indicates that favourable structures and host lithologies remain open along strike and at depth. While the continuity and economic significance of this mineralization have not yet been established, the results demonstrate the potential for expansion of the Lone Star mineralized corridor outside the boundaries of the existing resource area.

In 2026, the company is currently planning an 8,000-to-10,000-metre drill program aiming at expanding the project's first-ever MRE (1) published in 2022. Once the season has concluded, the company aims to release an updated MRE, which would include drilling from 2015 to 2026. The company has contracted Kluane Drilling, of Whitehorse, Yukon, for drilling services with the program scheduled to commence in early April.

Corporate update

The company also announces the resignation of Jasvir Kaloti as chief financial officer and corporate secretary, and the appointment of Brenda Nowak in her place.

Ms. Nowak has over 30 years of experience in the legal industry specializing in securities and corporate finance. As CFO and corporate secretary, she plays a pivotal role in supporting her board of directors and executive management teams.

In addition to her roll as corporate secretary and CFO with Klondike Gold, she is vice-president, corporate finance, for Fiore Advisory & Management Corp. and also corporate secretary for North Arrow Minerals. In the past, she has served as an officer and director of multiple public companies focused in the resource sector.

Mr. Tallman stated: "On behalf of the board of directors of Klondike Gold, I would like to thank Jasvir for her important contributions to the company over the last six years. We wish Jasvir all the best in her future endeavours."

About Klondike Gold Corp.

Klondike Gold is a Vancouver-based gold exploration company advancing its flagship 100-per-cent-owned Klondike district gold project asset located in Yukon, Canada, in one of the top mining jurisdictions in the world. The Klondike district gold project targets gold associated with district-scale orogenic faults along the 55-kilometre length of the famous Klondike goldfields placer district. Multikilometre gold mineralization has been identified at both the Lone Star zone and Stander zone, among other targets. The company has two near-surface gold deposits that contain resources estimated at Lone Star zone of 469,000 ounces gold in indicated resources (19,535,528 tonnes grading 0.643 g/t Au) and 112,000 ounces in inferred resources (6,156,522 tonnes grading 0.503 g/t gold), and at Stander zone of 65,044 ounces gold in indicated resources (2,049,741 tonnes grading 0.987 g/t Au) and 12,397 ounces in inferred resources (304,821 tonnes grading 1.265 g/t gold) (1), reported at a cut-off grade of 0.2 g/t Au, using a gold price of $1,700 (U.S.) per ounce and a U.S.-dollar/Canadian-dollar exchange rate of 0.75. In addition, the company maintains a mining production royalty interest in the currently active Montana Creek Placer property (3). The company is focused on exploration and development of its 727-square-kilometre property accessible by scheduled airline and government-maintained roads located on the outskirts of Dawson City, Yukon, within the Tr'ondek Hwech'in First Nation traditional territory.

(1) The mineral resource estimate for the Klondike district property was prepared by Marc Jutras, PEng, MASc, principal, Ginto Consulting Inc., an independent qualified person in accordance with the requirements of National Instrument 43-101. The technical report supporting the mineral resource estimate, entitled "NI 43-101 Technical Report on the Klondike District Gold Project, Yukon Territory, Canada," has been filed on SEDAR+, effective Nov. 10, 2022. Refer to the news release of Dec. 16, 2022.

(2) Refer to the company's news release of Jan. 7, 2026, and filed on SEDAR+.

(3) Estimated true widths (ETWs) for reported vein intercepts are based on high-confidence oriented core measurements of individual veins where available or measured angles perpendicular to vein margins. ETW vein intercept angles are supported by and consistent with geometries estimated using 3-D modelling of gold mineralization envelope using 0.2 g/t Au grade contours. The measured and model average "sheeted extensional vein" dip is 35 degrees northeasterly and typical drill hole dip angle is 55 degrees southwesterly. Other potentially oblique gold-mineralized veins (quartz breccia veins) may be present. Differences between individual ETWs and downhole interval lengths may vary between drill holes depending on drill hole azimuth and inclination, variations in vein zone strike and dip, and overall geometries of the different vein systems.
