Klondex Provides Underground Drill Update at Fire Creek; Continues to Extend High Grade Vein System Along Strike


VANCOUVER, BC--(Marketwired - September 14, 2017) - Klondex Mines Ltd. (TSX: KDX) (NYSE American: KLDX) ("Klondex" or the "Company") is pleased to provide an update on the 2017 underground drill results at its Fire Creek Mine ("Fire Creek") located in northern Nevada, USA. The following drill results are not included in the current Mineral Resource estimate.

Fire Creek Mine Underground Drilling Highlights: (see TABLE 1 for complete results)

North

Up-Dip

South

Key Points: (FIGURE 1)
Assay results have been received for 165 underground drill holes totaling 127,720 ft (38,929.1 m). This drilling focused primarily on increasing the confidence level in the current Mineral Resource estimate as well as extending mineralization to the north, south and up-dip. Assay results continue to support high grade mineralization continuity along strike and vertically.

North (FIGURE 2)
Drilling continued to test the northern and down dip extensions of veins 31, Honeyrunner and Karen from the northern most portion of the mine workings. Results show high grades and wide drilled widths offering an opportunity for future bulk tonnage mining. Continuous mineralization on multiple veins has been extended to the north along strike by approximately 750 ft (228.6 m) and 500 ft (152.4 m) down dip.

Up-Dip (FIGURES 3, 4, 5)
The up-dip drilling along Joyce, Joyce Splay, Karen, Honeyrunner and Vein 21 has returned significant assay results along a cumulative strike of approximately 1,000 ft (304.8 m). Mineralization has been extended up-dip above the existing mine workings by 50 to 200 ft (15.2 to 61.0 m). Assays suggest mineralization continues with similar grades and widths to what has traditionally been mined along these veins.

South (FIGURE 5)
The drilling to the southwest has shown a cluster of significant assays on previously known and unknown veins. These veins are approximately 200 ft (61.0 m) from current mine workings and will be an area of focus in the 2018 drill program.

Assays were performed by ALS Global of Reno, Nevada and American Assay Laboratories of Sparks, Nevada, as directed under the supervision of Klondex staff. These organizations are ISO 17025 accredited independent laboratories.
