(BW)(WA-KLONDIKE-STAR-MINERAL)(KDSM) Klondike Star Acquires The SPICE Epithermal Gold Property

Metal/Mining Writers/Business Editors

SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 25, 2005--Donald W. Flinn, Vice President, Operations for Klondike Star Mineral Corporation (OTCBB:KDSM) is pleased to announce that an agreement has been signed for the acquisition of up to 75% interest in the SPICE claims, covering an exciting epithermal gold target in the Tintina Gold Belt, Yukon. The agreement requires cash payments to Klondike Gold Corp. (TSXV:KG) totaling $200,000 over 4 years and work commitments totaling $500,000 to acquire a 55% interest.

Producing a bankable feasibility study and arranging project financing can earn a further 20% interest in the project. The property is located 28km east of Ross River, and 8km south of the North Canol road in the Watson Lake mining district. The target of the claims is a low-sulphidation epithermal style gold deposit hosted by rhyolite, similar to the Grew Creek property 60km to the west. The Grew Creek property is currently being explored by competitor Freegold Ventures Ltd. (TSXV:ITF, OTCBB:FGOVF) with an on-going drilling program.

The claims optioned by Klondike Star cover strong coincident geophysical and geochemical anomalies near the Tintina Fault in an area with very poor rock outcrop. The area of the SPICE claims has only been explored since 2000, when a regional geochemical survey conducted by the Yukon Geological Survey identified strong, coincident gold, silver and epithermal pathfinder elements. Follow-up geochemical sampling identified an open-ended anomalous zone up to 300m wide and 700m long. Rhyolite float rock samples in this area assayed up to 13.9 g/t gold.

Trenching by hand in this area failed to reach bedrock; however the glacial till cover is thought to be relatively thin. Ground magnetic and IP geophysical surveys conducted in 2004 identified anomalies coincident with the geochemically anomalous area previously identified.

In the IP survey a strong, shallow high chargeability and high resistivity anomalous zone 300m by 100m was identified which is coincident with the highest gold and silver geochemical anomalies, and is interpreted to come to surface beneath the overburden.

This IP anomaly is consistent with a pyritic, silicified rhyolite, which appears to be the source of the gold. Several other IP anomalies were identified at depth and along strike which warrant further investigation. This property has never been drilled: Klondike Star plans to begin testing the targets during the summer of 2005. A budget and work plan have yet to be finalized.
