Mr. Kevin Nephin, the President and CEO of Kestrel Gold Inc. (TSX VENTURE:KGC)
("Kestrel" or the "Corporation") is pleased to announce that the Corporation has
entered into an agreement to option up to 50% of the Corporation's interest in
the King Solomon's Dome ("KSD") property to Rackla Metals Inc. ("Rackla").


Pursuant to the option agreement, Rackla must incur $1,500,000 in exploration
expenditures on the KSD property and make cash payments to the Corporation
totalling $75,000, over a two year period. Upon earn-in, the Corporation and
Rackla will enter into a joint venture agreement, each as to a one-half interest
in the KSD property and Rackla will become operator of the KSD property.


Drilling activities have commenced on the KSD property and details of the
drilling program will be made available as results become available.


The KSD property is road accessible, and located in the heart of the Klondike
goldfields, roughly 30 km southeast of Dawson City in the Yukon Territory. The
property is north of Kestrel's Dominion Mountain and Gold Run properties and all
are situated within a highly prospective and relatively under explored belt of
mafic Klondike Schist.


The disparity between the enormous amount of placer gold production (estimated
to be 13 - 20 million ounces gold from creeks) and the miniscule amount of lode
gold production (estimated at 14,000 ounces from hard rock) obtained from the
Klondike goldfields since the gold rush of 1896, is not only puzzling but
globally unprecedented. The creeks radiating and draining from the vicinity of
the KSD property are still some of the richest placer gold producers in the
Yukon. This formed the basis of Kestrel's initial interest in the property which
was optioned in October 2010.


Kestrel's 2011 trenching program at KSD has defined a gold bearing quartz vein
system for a strike length of over 1.7 km and a width of 0.4 km with gold values
up to 17 g/t and several values of silver greater than 50 g/t. These results
overlap previous sampling where much higher grade gold and silver values are
historically documented, mainly from the Sheba vein and the Mitchell vein
showings which are almost 1 km apart (non NI 43-101 verified). Fractured and
altered pyritic-sericitic wall rocks of Klondike Schist also contain good gold
values up to several metres from the quartz veins. The main gold soil anomaly
(with associated pathfinder elements) at the KSD property is centered over the
vein system and is approximately 1.6 km x 1 km in extent and open along strike.


In addition to the large geochemical anomaly, Kestrel's 2011 geophysical survey
identified a large IP chargeability anomaly over a distance of 1.2 km parallel
to the NNW trend of the gold bearing vein system. The anomaly defined by this
survey is open along strike and deepens at depth to the east. A second and
deeper focused 3D geophysical survey conducted in 2012, identified a
corresponding large IP chargeability anomaly at depths to around 350 m below
surface (still open) extending over 1 km in width.


The relatively deep (and shallow dipping) large chargeability high below the
surface expression of gold and silver mineralization may suggest a sulphide rich
litho-tectonic source host, with the encouraging prospect that a broad pyritic
and possibly gold enriched host to the vein system observed at surface, may
exist at depth. Part of this IP chargeability anomaly will be the priority
target for the first diamond drill holes.
