TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Nov. 23, 2012) -

NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICE OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES

New Klondike Exploration Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:NK) ("New Klondike" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has renegotiated the terms of a debt settlement arrangement reached earlier this year and a proposed non-brokered private placement of common shares (each, a "Common Share") of the Company (the "Private Placement") . The Private Placement will consist of 1,200,000 Common Shares at a price of $0.085 per Common Share, for aggregate gross proceeds of $102,000. No warrants are being issued as part of the Private Placement. The Private Placement is subject to receipt of all regulatory or other approvals that may be necessary in order to complete the transactions contemplated therein and is expected to close during the last week of November. The Common Shares issued pursuant to the Private Placement will be subject to a four-month statutory hold period.

The gross proceeds of the Private Placement will be used to fund property maintenance costs, asset acquisition investigations and for general corporate purposes.

In a press release dated March 5, 2012, the Company announced that it had entered into a debt settlement arrangement on January 27, 2012, with M.D. Coulter & Associates Inc. ("MDC") to settle $121,000 of debt owed to MDC in consideration for the issuance of 2,420,000 Common Shares (the "Debt Settlement"). MDC is deemed to be a related party to New Klondike as it is 50% owned by Michael Coulter, the President of New Klondike. The issuance of the 2,420,000 Common Shares to MDC was approved by disinterested shareholders of the Company at the Company's Annual and Special Meeting of Shareholders held on July 13, 2012. The Company and MDC have mutually agreed to terminate the agreement with respect to the Debt Settlement and instead the Company will pay MDC $121,000 in cash.

The principals of MDC, Michael Coulter and Marilyn Turner will subscribe for the 1,200,000 Common Shares under the Private Placement. Michael Coulter, the President of New Klondike will subscribe for 730,000 Common Shares in the Private Placement. The participation of Mr. Coulter in the Private Placement constitutes a "related party transaction" under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"), however, New Klondike is exempt from both the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 in connection with the Private Placement as neither the fair market value of the Common Shares issued, nor the consideration for such shares, will exceed 25% of New Klondike's market capitalization as calculated pursuant to MI 61-101.
