In addition to an active surface exploration program at Fire Creek, in
April 2011 Klondex initiated an underground exploration and development
program being pursued via an underground decline. The program is
designed to enable more cost effective in-fill drilling of its existing
resource from underground stations as well as to enable bulk sampling
for metallurgical testing of up to 120,000 short tons of material
(limited to 36,500 short tons per year). Bulk sampling is targeted to
begin in Q1 2012.


As of December 19, 2011, Klondex had 46.4 million shares issued and
outstanding and 59.1 million shares on a diluted basis.
