Mineral Resources

The PEA is based on a mineral resource estimate with an effective date of December 31, 2013. The Fire Creek database used for the mineral resource estimate includes 408 drill holes totaling over 133,000 m (437,000 ft) and 1,120 channel and face samples and is reflective of underground development work at Fire Creek during 2013 resulting in the processing of 8,007 tons of mineralized material.

The PEA provides a basis to estimate project operating and capital costs and establish a projection of the potential mineable mineral resources including measured, indicated and inferred categories in accordance with National Instrument 43-101. The mineral resource estimate which forms the basis of the PEA is as follows, at a 0.225 opt Au cut-off grade:

1. Notes: Mineral resources, which are not mineral reserves, do not have demonstrated economic viability. The estimate of mineral resources may be materially affected by environmental, permitting, legal, title, socio-political, marketing, or other relevant issues.

2. The quantity and grade of reported inferred mineral resources in this estimation are uncertain in nature and there is insufficient exploration to define these inferred mineral resources as an indicated or measured mineral resource. It is uncertain if further exploration will result in upgrading such inferred mineral resources to an indicated or measured mineral resource category.

3. Mineral resources have been estimated at a cut-off grade of 0.225 opt (7.7 g/t) calculated with a $1,250 per ounce gold price, $18 per ounce silver price 94% gold recovery and 92% silver recovery mineral resources include allowances of 5% mining losses and 10% dilution.

Mine Planning

The Fire Creek mine plan assumes that a total of 439,000 tons of material containing 297,300 ounces of gold and 150,800 ounces of silver will be mined over the five year period. Key projected production statistics are summarized below.

The Fire Creek PEA mine plan only includes mineral resources within the veins which can be readily accessed from the existing development platform. The majority of mineral resources in the North Zone and all of the mineral resources in the Far North Zone were not considered in the current mine plan due to the mine development requirements for these zones. As additional exploration information is gained, the mine plan may be extended to the north to include these mineral resources.

Additionally, some of the mineral resources near the current development platform are contained in veins of insufficient width to meet cut-off grades when minimum mining widths are applied. Alternative mining methods which reduce dilution and/or development requirements should be investigated for the extraction of these mineral resources.

Underground Mining

The proposed mining methods for Fire Creek will be any one or more of the following: end slice stoping with delayed backfill, also referred to as long hole stoping; cut and fill stoping; and shrinkage stoping. The final choice of mining method will depend upon the geometry of the stope block, proximity to main access ramps, ventilation and escape routes, the relative strength or weakness of the mineral resources and adjacent wall rock, and finally the value or grade of the mineral resources. The choice of mining method for individual stoping areas will not be made until stope delineation and definition drilling is completed.

Metallurgy & Processing

Mined material from Fire Creek will be shipped to Klondex's Midas Mill for processing. The Fire Creek material will be blended with the Midas material prior to milling.

The Midas Mill was constructed in 1997 and has a nameplate capacity of 1,200 short tons per day. The mill uses conventional leach technology with counter current decantation followed by Merrill Crowe precipitation. Doré is further refined at Johnson Matthey refineries in Utah. Process toll milling has been performed periodically since 2008. Historically, the gold recovery has ranged from 92% to 97%, and silver recovery from 87% to 93%, depending upon processing rates and ore types. Mill availability for the life of the project is estimated at 95%.

Klondex began operating the Midas Mill on February 19, 2014 and immediately began processing a blend of the Fire Creek and Midas mineralized material at a rate averaging 25 tons per hour. At the end of the first quarter of 2014, over 7,800 tons of Fire Creek mineralized material was processed with gold and silver recoveries calculated at 96% and 95%, respectively. Currently, the mill is being operated at 50% of its capacity.

Capital Costs

Projected Life of Mine (LOM) constant dollar capital expenditures are detailed in the table below. Mine development comprises over 57% of total capital requirements, resource conversion drilling 23% and mining equipment 11%.

Operating Costs

Projected operating costs are based on actual costs incurred to date, internal estimates and costs from similar operations in the area. Operating cost estimates are summarized in the following table.

Project Sensitivities

The project shows resilience to variances in gold price from $750/oz Au up to $1750/oz Au.

Environmental

Klondex conducts mineral exploration activities in compliance with all applicable local, state and federal environmental protection legislation. Klondex is unaware of any existing environmental issues or compliance problems which have the potential to impact proposed production at Fire Creek. Klondex is working closely with all regulators to ensure that the permitting and compliance strategies are acceptable and minimize delays in production or mine development. At this time, there are no community or social impact matters associated with work being completed at Fire Creek.

Future Permitting

Klondex is currently waiting for approval to an amendment to the Plan of Operations and Reclamation permits (NVN-07976 and reclamation permit 0028); this amendment will allow Klondex to construct and operate two Rapid Infiltration Basins (RIBs) at Fire Creek. Klondex received approval for the Water Pollution Permit for construction and operations of the RIBs (WPCP2013102) in February 2014. Also, Klondex does not anticipate any delays or permitting issues associated with acquiring the required permits for Fire Creek full production. Klondex has initiated a baseline data collection program to as part of anticipated future permitting necessities.

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 National Instrument 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.
