For Immediate Release
Kodiak Controls Dominant Land Position in Beardmore-Geraldton Gold Belt
Vancouver, British Columbia, October 10th, 2007 – Kodiak Exploration Limited is pleased toannounce that its ongoing land consolidation efforts have now made it the dominant landholder
in the Beardmore-Geraldton gold camp of south central Ontario.
Kodiak selected the Beardmore-Geraldton greenstone belt as the focus of its gold exploration
activities because of its production history, its well understood geology and the fact that it
remains largely unexplored. In particular, there has been little to no deep drilling along major
structures that have in the past produced 4.1 million ounces of gold from high grade deposits
mined to depths of more than 1.5 km, and which remain open to depth.
For the past eighteen months, Kodiak has carried out extensive geologic research to identify the
principal deformation zones and other structures that control the principal gold deposits in the
belt, and has moved to acquire a strategic and controlling land position in those areas. By
staking and by acquisition of options announced over the past several months, Kodiak has
acquired a dominant land position that covers areas considered by Kodiak to encompass some of
the most prospective gold bearing geologic structures in the belt.
Pursuant to two agreements signed yesterday, Kodiak has been granted options to acquire a
100% interest in a total of eight additional mineral claims in the Thunder Bay Mining Division
from two different property owners. The first agreement provides for an option on six claims
located in Irwin Township subject to a 3% net smelter returns royalty. Kodiak may exercise the
option by making payments totaling $60,000 in cash over a three year period. Kodiak may
purchase one-half of the royalty for $500,000 at any time, and may purchase the remaining onehalf
of the royalty for an additional $1,000,000. The second agreement provides for an option on
two claims located in Walters and Leduc Townships subject to a 2% net smelter returns royalty.
Kodiak may exercise the option by issuing shares with an aggregate value of $20,000 and
making payments totaling $50,000 in cash over a three year period. Kodiak may purchase the
entire royalty for $1,000,000 at any time. Both options are subject to acceptance by the TSX
Venture Exchange.
