Klondex Approved to Start Surface Prep-Work for Mine Portal at Its Nevada High-Grade Gold Property, Fire Creek
Vancouver, B.C. -- September 30, 2010 -- Klondex Mines Ltd. (TSX: KDX) announced today that the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has issued a Notice to Proceed for the Company's Fire Creek high-grade gold property in North Central Nevada. The BLM notice allows Klondex to commence surface preparation work required for Fire Creek's planned underground development. "Ground disturbing activity" has been authorized in three locations, areas where the portal, ponds, pad and surface structures are to be constructed. Klondex expects the surface contractor to commence work early in October.

Klondex President and COO, Blane Wilson commented, "The BLM notice brings us an important step closer to initiating our underground development program at Fire Creek. We are now able to start the surface work required prior to commencement of our underground portal. This is a pivotal stage in our continuing transformation from a surface exploration company to an underground development company."
