Yukon Gold Reports Increased Size of Marg Mineral Resource

TORONTO, July 23 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ - Yukon Gold Corporation, Inc. ("Yukon
Gold" or the "Company")(TSX: YK) (OTCBB: YGDC) (Frankfurt: W8Y) is pleased to
announce a Mineral Resource Estimate July 18, 2008 as an upward revision to
the Resource Estimate dated June 30, 2008 on the 100% owned Marg Property in
the Yukon.
Both Resource Estimates have been provided by Scott Wilson Roscoe Postle
Associates Inc. ("Scott Wilson RPA"). The July 18 Estimate is an upward
revision of the Resource Estimate of June 30th due to an amendment of the
copper refinery charge.

At a C$70 Net Smelter Return (NSR) cut-off the Resource Estimate is:

Indicated Mineral Resource: 5.70 million tonnes at 1.52% Copper,
3.66% Zinc, 1.91% Lead, 47.77 g/t Silver, and 0.78 g/t Gold with an NSR
C$/tonne value of $113

Inferred Mineral Resource: 2.15 million tonnes at 1.18% Copper,
3.39% Zinc, 1.63 % Lead, 38.18 g/t Silver, and 0.65 g/t Gold with an NSR
C$/tonne value of $95.

There is no change in the resource model only in the NSR calculation.
Details of the updated Resource Estimate will be included as part of the
upcoming Scoping Study/Preliminary Economic Assessment.
The Resource Estimate July 18 used an NSR cut-off. The NSR value was estimated
by Scott Wilson RPA based on assumptions for long term metal prices,
metallurgical recoveries, US exchange rate, trucking costs, port costs,
shipping costs, and smelter charges. The NSR does not include assumptions for
mine operating costs and capitalized expense recovery. These NSR estimates
should be considered very preliminary at this stage.
A summary of the July 18, 2008 Resource Estimate at various NSR cut offs is
tabulated below.

Inferred $90 1.05 1.37 4.02 1.89 43.96 0.81 112

Notes: 1. The classification of mineral resources follows CIM Definition
Standards.
2. Mineral resources have been estimated by kriging into blocks
constrained by wireframed mineral lenses.
3. NSR values are based on assumed metallurgical recoveries of 60%
for Cu, 80% for Zn, and 60% for Pb; and on metal prices of
US$2.50 for Cu, US$0.90 for Zn, US$0.70 for Pb, US$13.50 for
Ag and US$800 for Au; and foreign exchange of C$1.00 equals
US$0.90.
4. High assay values were not cut.

June 30, 2008
