Paul Huet, President and CEO commented, "As we continued to ramp up our Nevada operations, our team delivered excellent results. Based on our first half operating results, we are on track to meet management's expectations in 2014. More importantly, we have a stronger balance sheet as cash and working capital increased at the end of 2Q2014, compared to 1Q2014. The recently announced bought deal financing, expected to close by July 31, 2014, will provide for development programs and accelerated exploration at Midas and Fire Creek."
Klondex will release its 2014 second quarter financial and operational results after market close on Tuesday August 12, 2014, and will hold a conference call on Wednesday August 13, 2014, at 10:30 AM EST. The Company invites you to participate in the upcoming conference call to discuss its second quarter financial and operating results for 2014.

About Klondex Mines Ltd. (www.klondexmines.com)
Klondex Mines is focused on the exploration, development and production of its two high quality gold and silver projects in the mining-friendly jurisdiction of north central Nevada. The 1200 tpd milling facility is being mineralized materials from the Midas Mine and the Fire Creek Project. Midas is fully-permitted and has been producing gold and silver since 1998. Fire Creek is located approx. 100 miles south of Midas and is operating an ongoing bulk sampling program that began in 2013. All major infrastructure is in place at Fire Creek, and Klondex is in the process of obtaining the full mining permit.
Cautionary Note Regarding Technical Information and Forward-looking Information
A production decision at the Midas mine was made by prior owners of the mine, prior to the completion of the acquisition of the Midas mine by Klondex. To the knowledge of Klondex, this production decision was not based on a feasibility study of mineral reserves demonstrating economic and technical viability prepared in accordance with NI 43-101 but was based on internal studies conducted by the prior owner of the mine. Klondex has no reason to believe that the data on which such studies were based or that the results of such studies are unreliable. However, readers are cautioned that there is increased uncertainty and higher risk of economic and technical failure associated with such production decisions.
