Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada – Klondike Gold Corp. (TSX.V: KG; FRA: LBDP; OTCQB: KDKGF) (“Klondike Gold” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide a summary of significant work progress and to report receipt of an additional $42,282 production royalty payment from the Montana Creek Placer Property leased by Armstrong Mining Corp. (“Armstrong Mining”). This brings the total production royalty revenue paid to Klondike Gold in 2025 to $542,282, leaving $8.9M of royalties or payments yet to be paid to complete the option to purchase payments by March 2031 (see News Release March 11, 2025).

Peter Tallman, President and CEO of Klondike Gold Corp comments “The Montana Creek placer deposit was an idle, under-appreciated asset that is now returning dilution-free funding for Klondike Gold. We are pleased with Armstrong Mining’s professional and competent management of the operation, which has exceeded our expectations from the start, and now is positioned to contribute increasing royalty revenues beyond our original projections for the next several years.”

The Company’s Montana Creek Placer Property agreement grants Armstrong Mining a 6-year lease with option to purchase 100% of Klondike’s Montana Creek (surface gravel alluvial gold) placer property (the “Montana Creek Placer Property” or the “Property”), (see Figure 1) in return for a 10% “Production Royalty” per year on all gold and other minerals produced from the Property up to $9.5M (the “Purchase Price”), (see News Release March 11, 2025).

Armstrong Mining’s 2025 Season Highlights

• Began production and gold recovery ahead of schedule and exceeded projected returns
• Early season successful mobilization of all heavy equipment
• Installed a new camp and upgraded existing camp infrastructure
• Installed and calibrated new processing equipment (wash plant and gold cleaning machine), with second larger capacity plant scheduled before start of next season for increased capacity
• Stripped and stockpiled material will facilitate a rapid start to 2026 season production
• Installed a light aircraft emergency airstrip
• Completed 140 short-hole sonic drilling exploration program covering ~1.5 sq kms to further delineate and expand previously documented White Channel Gravel ‘pay streaks’
• Maintained and filed all required permitting and remediation procedures

Peter Tallman, President and CEO of Klondike further states “I congratulate the Armstrong Mining team for their professional effort that exceeded our productivity and financial objectives for 2025. Their crew completed significant mobilization early, reorganized the mine site plan to increase environmental remediation, including improvement of 5km of access roads, completed a significant sonic drilling exploration program, and then exceeded our aggressive economic target for 2025 by delivering $542k in royalty payments to Klondike Gold. This is a great beginning to our relationship, and we look forward to working with Armstrong Mining over the coming years. This year’s completed work sets up 2026 for an early season start and the potential for high production and significant and lasting potential revenue through royalty payments to Klondike Gold.”

Background

The Montana Creek Placer Property was staked in 2005 by Klondike Gold and is comprised of 239 placer claims covering 13.4 square kilometers located near Dawson City, Yukon within the area of quartz bedrock claims comprising the Company’s “Klondike District Property”. Between 2005 and 2014 Klondike Gold completed 550 auger drill holes to delineate White Channel Gravel gold ‘pay streaks’ covering approximately 50% of the property. Gold grains were documented and weighed to determine grade per volume from gravels in nearly 100% of the holes in the main target area. The Company’s auger drilling tested a 3600m length by 1850m width with results at the time indicating gold-bearing gravel ‘pay streaks’ in local parlance extended over a length of more than three kilometers.
