8.01 Other Events

On January 9, 2018, Klondex Mines Ltd. (the “Company”) announced a change in its operations in Canada, which includes the immediate reduction of underground mining operations and workforce at its True North mine in Manitoba, Canada.

Following an extensive review of recent operational performance at True North, the Company has decided to limit underground mining to areas already developed. Once these areas are depleted, underground mining will be suspended. The decision was largely based on the site’s inability to achieve planned operating and cash flow metrics in 2017. The mine will be placed on care and maintenance status after the developed areas are mined to review strategic options and to provide optionality at higher metal prices. The Company will continue to process tailings, as contained in its reserve estimate, through the mill for the foreseeable future in order to maximize cash flow and offset expected care and maintenance costs.

The Company is encouraged by certain positive operational improvements made and additional understanding of the vein structures and mining methods gained during the past year. This information will help Klondex better define future alternatives. Infrastructure has been identified that needs upgrading such as the chutes, automating the loading pocket and the need to advance development. At the True North mine, the Company expects to release a new resource estimate in the first quarter of 2018. In addition, the Ogama-Rockland property, recently acquired through the Bison Gold Resources acquisition, is approximately 30 kilometers from the mine. The Company will assess the potential of processing ore from both the True North mine and the Ogama-Rockland property through the True North mill to improve the economics for the Company’s properties in the region.
