Klondike Silver to Focus on Core Assets in 2009
Vancouver, British Columbia CANADA, February 27, 2009 /FSC/ - Klondike Silver Corp. (KS - TSX Venture, KLSVF - OTCBB_Pink_Sheets), will focus its 2009 work programs on priority projects in Canada, with particular emphasis on precious metals. In response to current markets conditions, the Company has renegotiated five property agreements and is renegotiating others to reduce outstanding payments. Rigorous property evaluations are also under way and may lead to the termination of non-core projects.

A drilling program is under way in the camp, focused on the newly rehabilitated Wonderful Mine. Other strategically selected assets include silver projects in the Yukon Territory and Ontario's Gowganda silver camp, and in Mexico.
Klondike Silver is pleased to announce that John de Jong and Brendan Munday have joined its Board of Directors, effective November 20, 2008.
Subject to regulatory approval, the Company plans to lower the price of options that expire from August 2009 through January 2013 (priced at between $0.20 and $0.53) to $0.10. And subject to TSX and warrant-holder approvals, warrants that expire on August 9 and December 27, 2009, will be re-priced at $0.20 per warrant. The term will not change.
Klondike Silver has also renegotiated its contract with Agoracom Investor Relations on a one year term to effect communications with its shareholder base, prospective investors and the investment community as a whole. Compensation is $2,000 per month and 150,000 options at $0.12, vested quarterly.
