Klondex continued to develop on the Joyce (5370N and 5400S) structure and on the Vonnie (5370N and 5400S) structure during July.

Paul Huet, Klondex President and CEO, stated, "Through our underground development program, we continue to see very encouraging gold grades and are gaining an excellent understanding of the geology, structure and gold mineralization of the Fire Creek deposit. We've made tremendous progress over the past year as a direct result of our dedicated team, and I'm thankful for their devotion to Klondex and to advancing the Fire Creek project."
Sampling a given face is conducted after the face location has been measured, photographed, and mapped in detail. Continuous rock-chip channel samples are then collected by Klondex staff in 11" x 17" sample bags from the footwall, vein, and hanging wall. Salient features including sample number, channel length, location on face, rock type, and alteration are documented. Samples are sent to SGS Mineral Services Division lab in Elko, Nevada, an independent laboratory, for gravimetric fire assay analysis with blanks and standards.
