Yukon Gold to Drill High Grade Gold/Silver Vein Targets on its Mt. Hinton Property in the Yukon

KODE PPC ANDA

Yukon Gold Corporation, Inc. today announced it will begin an intensive drilling and exploration program on its Mount Hinton Gold Project for the 2007 work season. This work will further delineate the extensive gold vein mineralization on the property, located in central Yukon Territory. The Mount Hinton project, which covers approximately 12,355 acres, is situated next to the Keno Hill Mining Camp within the Tombstone Gold Belt, world renowned for the discovery of major gold and base metal deposits.

The primary drill targets are located within a 300 metre wide and over 3.2 kilometre long trend of gold and silver bearing vein faults. As many as 50 mineralized veins or discrete mineralized vein float trains have been discovered to date within this structural trend. Gold-silver mineralization occurs over a vertical distance of approximately 260 metres down the face of Mount Hinton. Individual samples from these veins have returned grades of up to 160 grams of gold and 1020 grams of silver per ton while close spaced channel sampling demonstrates the potential for average grades in the 17.5 g/t Au and 1546 g/t Ag to 42.5 g/t Au and 319 g/t Ag range over average widths of 49 to 105 cm, respectively. Past efforts to fully evaluate the various vein zones by hand trenching were hampered by the steep terrain and difficult overburden conditions.

Given the geological and structural model developed from 100 years of exploration and mining in the area, the extent and continuity of gold mineralization in the Mount Hinton vein fault system presents the potential for development of a significant gold/silver resource. Work carried out to date by Yukon Gold has verified old discovery results and has added several new veins and anomalies, extending the strike length of the identified vein fault structure. Road access and drill sites have been completed in preparation for drilling and development.

The Qualified Person who has reviewed this release and who is supervising the drilling program on Mount Hinton is R. C. Carne, P.Geo., an independent consultant employed by Archer Cathro & Associates (1981) Limited, a geological engineering firm offering contract mineral development and exploration services for mining companies. Results from the drilling will be published as they are made available and reviewed by Yukon Gold's management team.
