496.7 g/t (14.5 oz/ton) Gold over 1.8 meters (6 feet) Extends Continuity of Main Zone A-Vein at Klondex Mines' Fire Creek Nevada Gold Project
- Klondex Also Reinitiates Underground In-Fill Drilling Program -
ELKO, Nev. & VANCOUVER, BC--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Klondex Mines Ltd. (TSX: KDX and OTCQX: KLNDF) today reported an interval of 496.7 grams/tonne gold (14.5 oz/ton) over 1.82 meters (6 feet) at its Fire Creek gold project in Lander County, Nevada. Samples collected included the 1.82 meters (6 foot) vein and 1.5 meters (5 feet) of wall rock on either side. Grade boundaries are sharp and assays drop to <3 g/t in the peripheral samples. True width in the 5370-ACC crosscut is estimated to be 1.7 meters (5.5 feet) (Figure 1).
The banded vein structure that was encountered is identical to the A-vein structure identified in the 5400-ACC crosscut to the south. Sampling has been completed over the east portion of the crosscut and results are insignificant suggesting the B-vein is cut off by a bounding northwest oriented fault or mineralization pinches to the north before it intersects the 5370-ACC crosscut. A ground fall at the east end of 5370-ACC is likely related to this fault.
Paul Huet, CEO of Klondex commented, "The rib samples are encouraging as they further extend the apparent continuity of the A-vein at a width that is two times the width we encountered to the south while maintaining grades of 2 ounces per ton and higher. We plan continued sampling on the 5370-ACC crosscut once we have addressed ground conditions caused by the Northwesterly trending fault. We also recently restarted our underground in-fill drilling program to expand our data production from this important area."
Sample results cited in this news release were obtained from crosscut drifting by SMD, an independent contractor working under the direction of Klondex staff. Assays were determined by Pinnacle Analytical Laboratories, Lovelock, Nevada and Inspectorate America Corporation, Sparks, Nevada, both independent analytical laboratories.
