Deep Drilling Expands Gold Mineralization By 600%, Discovers Multiple New High Grade Gold Veins
Vancouver, British Columbia CANADA, August 01, 2008 /FSC/ - Kodiak Exploration Limited (TSX - VX: KXL, OTCBB_Pink_Sheets: KXLAF, FWB: KX3), is pleased to report that as it approaches the mid-point of its 2008 exploration program, it has already increased the dimensions of the Golden Mile mineralized zone by more than 600% and made multiple new discoveries at the Hercules project. This has dramatically enhanced the resource potential of the entire area. In addition, Kodiak has also had excellent initial exploration results on several other stand alone regional targets it generated. These targets, spread across more than 200 kilometres of Kodiak's land holdings, are simultaneously being explored outside the Hercules project area. As a result, Kodiak plans to increase the number of drill rigs on site from five to eight and to increase the size of its work force, which already stands at well over 100 personnel in the field.
During 2008, Kodiak has completed over 27,000 metres of drilling in over 100 holes at the Hercules Project, with gold bearing mineralization intersected in virtually every hole. In addition the program continues to be successful in extending the strike and depth extents of several gold zones, it has now intersected significant gold mineralization deep in the Golden Mile and Lucky Strike and on multiple other structures, including the WLGZ, Seven of Nine and Marino gold zones. Assay results received from holes drilled to date are set out in the table at the end of this news release.
Drilling and Exploration Highlights
- Gold mineralization previously identified on the surface at the Golden Mile has now been confirmed to extend well over 2000 metres along strike and to depths of at least 450 metres in drill holes and the dimensions of the Golden Mile mineralized zone has increased over 600% since March 2008 and remains open (see Figures one and two below and on web site). Drilling in the eastern portion of the Golden Mile has discovered a very large body of gold mineralization that is open at depth and is currently being drilled to define its full extent (right side of Figure one),
- A new high grade zone has been discovered to depths of almost 350 metres in the Golden Mile; highlights from this zone include 16.98 gpt gold (0.495 opt) over 1.3 metres including 63.67 gpt gold (1.857 opt) over 0.3 metres in drill hole HR08-171 (see Figure one). This high grade zone has the same northwesterly rake as the central Golden Mile high grade zone and remains open at depth. Infill drilling continues to intercept high grades as well with 9.3 metres grading 14.78 gpt gold (0.431 opt) including 3.3 metres grading 32.22 gpt gold (0.940 opt) in HR08-161,
- Drilling on the blind Lucky Strike structure, located parallel to the Golden Mile, has discovered a broad zone of gold mineralization totaling up to 41 metres wide (HR08-137, 1.2 gpt gold (0.035 opt)), indicating the strong potential for shallow, bulk-minable gold mineralization at Hercules. The Lucky Strike and Golden Mile structures appear to converge at depth, a common control to high grade mineralization, defining an excellent deep target; deep drilling is ongoing and will test this target in the near future (see Figure three below and on web site),
- Early prospecting 3,000 metres northwest of the Golden Mile has discovered a large system of strongly mineralized quartz veining that is on strike with the Golden Mile (see Figure four below and on web site). This potential extension could more than double the strike length of the Golden Mile to over five kilometres. Assays from recent sampling are pending and advanced follow up exploration is underway.
- On the WLGZ Gold Zone, drill hole HR08-145 has intercepted 3.3 metres grading 22.26 gpt gold (0.649 opt) including 0.8 metres grading 90.00 gpt gold (2.625 opt) further defining the geometry of this gold mineralized area, additional drilling is planned to define the full extent of this significant zone.
- Drilling on the parallel Seven of Nine vein system, immediately adjacent to previously announced high grade gold mineralization found in the Marino vein system (HR07-16; 1.6 metres grading 38.47 gpt gold (1.122 opt)), has intercepted significant gold mineralization including 12.85 gpt gold (0.375 opt) over a width of 1.1 metres including 0.3 metres grading 53.24 gpt gold (1.553 opt; HR08-113). These systems remain open, drilling on the Marino and Seven of Nine veins continues. Initial drilling on the Yellow Brick Road vein intersected broad mineralized structures at a depth of 250 metres over a width of approximately 10 metres. This system remains open, assays are pending,

Hercules Exploration
Exploration adjacent to the Golden Mile has also accelerated at Hercules. Individual samples from a parallel vein lying between the Golden Mile and the Marino vein system contains up to 37.1 gpt gold (1.082 opt; channel GM-15), outlining an important new target area that is to be followed up with advanced exploration (see Figure four below and on web site). Two kilometres northwest of the Marino and Seven of Nine vein systems, a broad new zone of gold mineralized quartz veined structure has been identified that appears be the on strike continuation of those vein systems; additional prospecting and stripping are planned.
Stripping, sampling and drilling has also begun southwest of the Golden Mile, exploring multiple parallel geophysically indicated structures in an area where historic sampling produced grab samples with up to 46.22 gpt gold (1.348 opt) (Ontario Assessment Report 42E13SE0109 by Douglas Binkley, 1992, p. 19). Drilling in this area has commenced, intersecting several broad altered structures and quartz veining corresponding to the interpreted linear magnetic features, verifying the geophysical interpretation. Assays are pending. In addition, mineralized quartz vein float has been found across the lake and on strike approximately 500 metres northwest of the central Golden Mile (see Figure four below and on web site). This lake currently marks the most northwesterly limit of the drilling to date on the Golden Mile. Drilling on this newly discovered extension is planned to commence in the immediate future. The exploration program will continue to test over 30 km of indicated parallel structures and simultaneously expand the scale and geometry of the extensive Golden Mile vein system and several other confirmed parallel gold bearing veins thus expanding the resource potential of the entire Elmhirst Lake intrusion.

The map shows areas of prospecting, trenching and drilling within the Elmhirst Lake intrusion superimposed upon the detailed magnetic signature of the intrusion. The use of the magnetic data to guide exploration is important as most of the gold targets identified to date correspond to linear magnetic features.

New Discoveries in the Beardmore-Geraldton Camp - Beyond Hercules
While Kodiak's program continues to expand at Hercules, prospecting, stripping, sampling and drilling have begun at nine of the more than thirty stand alone gold targets identified by our Regional Exploration team outside the Elmhirst Intrusion, but within the more than 1,400 square kilometres controlled by Kodiak.
First pass channel sampling results from the Solomon's Pillar project (see web site for the regional project location map) have identified a strong zone of gold mineralization that extends at least 500 metres along strike that remains open. Channel sampling highlights at Solomon's Pillar include channel SPX-19 which cuts 5.5 metres grading 12.82 gpt gold (0.374 opt) including 0.9 metres grading 25.1 gpt gold (0.732 opt). A 3,000 metre drilling program has commenced; the first drill holes have intercepted 20 to 30 metre thick zones of intensely mineralized banded iron formation and sheared clastic rock; assays are pending.
At the GMO project, located in the western portion of the Beardmore-Geraldton gold district (see web site for the regional project location map), a series of new gold bearing quartz veins have been discovered containing visible gold with grab samples grading up to 41.5 gpt gold (1.22 opt gold). These veins are approximately 2000 metres west of and along strike with the high grade Northern Empire mine (~ 150,000 ounces of historic gold production). This new vein system has a strike length of at least 350 metres and widths of up to 2 metres and remains open. Drilling is in progress to test its economic potential.
At Kodiak's West Geraldton-Kenogamsis project located just west of the town of Geraldton (see web site for the regional project location map), the newly discovered Goldstrike and Drexel zones have been stripped over a strike length of over 300 metres and remain open. Between 1934-36, an historic drill hole (Hole 2) by Lafayette Long Lac GML cut the Goldstrike zone and intercepted 2.04 metres grading 327.79 gpt gold (9.56 opt); Kodiak plans to verify this historic intercept and test other targets by diamond drilling soon. A second zone of strong mineralization located 500 metres west of the Goldstrike zone has also been discovered. These structures are characterized by quartz veining with arsenopyrite over broad widths where historic grab samples have graded up to 129.5 gpt gold (3.777 opt). Additional stripping and channel sampling is ongoing; drilling has commenced.
Early grass-roots reconnaissance has identified strong gold mineralization at the Maki, Sturgeon Bridge, East Leitch, Bearskin, Klotz Lake, Blackwater, Kaby Lake and the Brenbar project where recently channel grabs returned assays up to 40.7 gpt gold. Additional advanced exploration, including stripping, mapping and sampling are underway.
Kodiak's program of mineral rights acquisition is also ongoing. Given the size of its current land package, Kodiak does not typically announce acquisitions unless they are material or an announcement is required pursuant to the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange due to Kodiak having an obligation or option to issue shares in payment or partial payment for the property. Pursuant to an agreement made with a local prospector as of July 8, 2008, Kodiak was granted an option to acquire a 100% interest in three mineral claims in Summers Township, subject to a 3% NSR, by paying $5,000 in cash and $5,000 in Kodiak shares upon receipt of TSX Venture Exchange notice of acceptance, plus an additional $45,000 in cash in three installments over the ensuing three years. Kodiak has the right to purchase the NSR for $1,000,000 for each 1%.
Management's Analysis
Mr. Brian Maher, Kodiak Vice President of Exploration, comments, "These targets are located along the more than 300 kilometres of major gold producing breaks or structures that are 100% controlled by
Kodiak. The similarities in size and continuity to the Cadillac break in Val d' Or and the Porcupine-Destor fault zone are striking (see web site for a new map depicting the two camps). Considering the exploration dollars spent on those structural zones compared to the small amount spent in the Beardmore-Geraldton gold camp, and considering the outstanding results already obtained to date, it is easy to conclude that the Beardmore-Geraldton area is largely under explored and has tremendous potential. As our team continues to compile old exploration data and to generate new data from high grade gold showings, it continues to amaze me just how many high grade gold showings and compelling exploration targets there are in the area. Ultimately, Kodiak will be answering the fundamental question "just how large is the gold endowment of the Beardmore-Geraldton gold camp?" Based on what we have seen to date, not only at Hercules, but elsewhere in our enormous land package, I think we are just beginning to understand the size and scale of this very large gold mineralized system."
Mr. Bill Chornobay, President, comments, "Kodiak continues to systematically explore its extensive landholdings within the Beardmore-Geraldton gold camp. Based on continuing positive results, the magnitude of the exploration program has been expanded dramatically. Additional prospecting crews, excavators and multiple drills are currently testing over 30 kilometres of indicated structures on the Elmhurst Lake intrusion, beyond the current extent of the Hercules project. Exploration to date has significantly expanded the resource potential and our knowledge of this entire area. The process remains ongoing and our exploration plan has proven to be extremely effective in unlocking the resource potential of the entire 30 square km Hercules project area. In addition, the broad scope of our regional exploration program, in targeted areas of the ~1,400 square kilometres controlled by Kodiak outside the Elmhirst Lake intrusion is designed to ultimately reveal the resource potential of our entire landholdings. Our objective remains to ensure that our shareholders participate in the realization by Kodiak of the full value of its assets. We look forward to reporting ongoing results with much anticipation."

Kodiak QA/QC procedures are as follows: Kodiak channel samples are 5 cm wide cut perpendicular to the strike of the vein and/or shear zone from mapped alteration in the footwall continuously through the vein and/or shear zone and into mapped alteration in the hanging wall. Channels are cut with a motorized circular saw to a depth of 20 cm and removed with a hammer. Channel sample spacing is nominally every 20m along strike, dependent on outcrop size and geometry. Sample intervals are selected according to geologic contacts and visible mineralization, placed into a sample bag, and shipped to the assay lab for quantitative analysis of select elements. Kodiak drill cores are split down the center with a typical table feed circular rock saw. Sample intervals are selected according to geologic contacts, visible mineralization, and alteration, placed into sample bags and shipped to the assay lab where they are quantitatively analyzed for select elements. Drill cores are boxed, covered, and sealed at the drill rig and moved to the Kodiak logging and sample preparation facilities by Kodiak personnel. Kodiak angle core holes are directed perpendicular to the mapped dip of the vein therefore reported drill hole intercepts approximate true thickness of the vein. All Kodiak samples are currently being assayed by Activation Laboratories Limited., Ancaster, ON L9G 4V5. Blank and standard samples are routinely submitted with all sample batches sent to the lab for assay. Screened metallic assays are routinely run on all anomalous gold results as a check on nugget effects. Samples are routinely sent to other labs for additional checks.
