(KS - TSX Venture, KLSVF - OTCBB_Pink_Sheets), is pleased to report that the 2008 regional exploration program is well underway in their Slocan camp holdings located near New Denver in south-eastern B.C. The Company holds more than 10,000 hectares of claims and crown grants in the Slocan district, including numerous past producing mines such as the Silvana, Hinckley, Wonderful and Van Roi, and a fully permitted and operational 100 ton/day mill located near the historical mining town of Sandon in the heart of the belt.\n\nThe area has been broken down into six distinct areas for exploration as shown on map below and the expandable map located on the Klondike Silver website at www.klondikesilver.com. These include the main Sandon camp itself, Cody Creek immediately to the east, the Payne Mine area to the north and the Silverton Creek area to the south. Farther south, the Hewitt-Van Roi camp is centered on two past producers and to the northeast is the Jackson Basin exploration area.\n\nThe central area, the Sandon camp, includes one of the largest past producing mines as well as numerous smaller past producers, and has been the focus of much of Klondike Silver's surface and underground exploration for the past several years. It is currently producing from an extension of the McLanders vein on the Wonderful property and Silvana Mine and contains the Hinckley Mine deposit, scheduled to commence production within a few weeks. Past production from the Sandon camp area totals 731,980 kg (25,819,834 oz) silver, 103,409,796 kg (227,979,575 lbs) lead and 55,320,103 kg (121,959,950 lbs) zinc from the seven main producers. Current work, detailed in a recent press release, (June 24, 2008) includes underground rehab and follow-up exploration on an airborne geophysical survey and several coincident geophysical (VLF-EM) and soil geochemical anomalies. In particular, a soil geochemistry program completed on the north side of Carpenter Creek in 2007 indicates possible continuity of up to eight distinct east-west structures th...
