Klondike Star Mineral Corporation News Release.


Business Editors

SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 5, 2004

Klondike Star Mineral Corporation announces it has received a report on its majority owned claims in the Klondike area of the Yukon, Canada from Consulting Geologist Dr. J Noun 1. Dr. J - United States basketball forward (born in 1950)
Erving, Julius Erving, Julius Winfield Erving

Highlights of the report include:

"The world famous Klondike Gold Rush Klondike gold rush

Canadian gold rush of the late 1890s. Gold was discovered on Aug. 17, 1896, near the confluence of the Klondike and Yukon rivers in western Yukon Territory. The news spread quickly, and by late 1898 more than 30,000 prospectors had arrived.
 produced a minimum of 12 million ounces of placer gold. This number is considered a minimum because much of the gold recovered was not reported and, of course, placer miners are still actively mining gold more than 100 years after the initial discovery in 1896. The gold nuggets, which were dispersed largely over Bonanza Creek Bonanza Creek, stream, c.20 mi (30 km) long, W Yukon Territory, Canada. It flows NW to the Klondike River near Dawson. The first gold strike in the Yukon occurred there in 1896. , Eldorado Creek and their tributaries might be considered a phenomenal geochemical anomaly, phenomenal because the gold values are not measured in parts per billion (ppb ppb

Klondike Star claims straddle In the stock and commodity markets, a strategy in options contracts consisting of an equal number of put options and call options on the same underlying share, index, or commodity future.  Bonanza and Eldorado Creeks, the richest creeks in the Klondike.

Since the discovery of placer gold in 1896, entrepreneurial prospectors have sought the source, or "mother lode Mother Lode, belt of gold-bearing quartz veins, central Calif., along the western foothills of the Sierra Nevada. The term is sometimes limited to a strip c.70 mi (110 km) long and from 1 to 6 1-2 mi (1.6–10.5 km) wide, running NW from Mariposa. ", for the vast quantities of alluvial and possibly eluvial gold taken from the Klondike.

The body of work done by many operators over the years has resulted in a clearer understanding of the geology of much of the bedrock source of Klondike gold. The target area has been defined by three sub-parallel mineralized min·er·al·ize

 shear zones which have been traced over almost 5 kilometers. Gold occurs within shear zones and related quartz veins. Also, these shears may have acted as feeder zones for disseminated gold deposition in favorable strata cut by the shears. Most of the large area traversed by the shear zones remains virtually untouched.

Extensive exploration work over the past 97 years (1897-1994) has served to define three northwesterly-trending, gold bearing sub-parallel shear zones: Boulder Shear Zone, Nugget Nugget

 Shear Zone and Buckland Shear Zone.

The Boulder Shear Zone has been traced over 4.8 kilometers strike length and is coincident with a gold geochemical anomaly. This shear is open at both ends. The best (not representative of the whole) samples taken from this zone were 7.67 gpt Au (20m), 4.75 gpt Au (11m), 10.76 gpt Au (5 m) and 2.5 gpt Au (15m).

The Buckland Shear Zone lies about three km southeast of the Boulder Shear. This zone is believed to be the probable source of much of the placer gold recovered from Eldorado Creek. It ranges from 3 to 13 meters in width and has been traced, with reasonable confidence, over a strike length of 3.4 km and is open at both ends. This structure also coincides with a significant gold-in-soil anomaly. Most assays from trenches are below 1.5 gpt Au across widths of less than three meters.

The Nugget Zone is a third sub-parallel zone which lies about one km northeast of the Buckland Shear Zone. This zone also carries high grade, discontinuous discontinuous /dis·con·tin·u·ous/ (dis?kon-tin´u-us)

 quartz veins (15 cm widths and up to 9 meter lengths) which have assayed up to 778 gpt Au.

The Klondike Star property is now ready for large scale, intensive and detailed exploration. It is obvious that the proximity and close geologic relationship of the sub-parallel shear zones and the distribution of placer gold is more than a coincidence and that there is reasonable probability for a large, significant gold deposit."
