(TSX.V:KG)(FRA:LBDP)(OTCQB:KDKGF) (\"Klondike Gold\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce field results from ongoing 2023 work as well as gold assay results from twenty-four (24) diamond drill holes from the Company's 2022 exploration program at the Stander Deposit located on the Company's Klondike District Property (the \"Property\") in the Dawson mining district, Yukon, Canada.Peter Tallman, Klondike Gold's President & CEO, states \"The Company's team has made three recent discoveries of gold in outcrop following implementation of several new science-based upgrades to our exploration models.
