Vancouver, BC - June 9, 2014 - Klondex Mines Ltd. (TSX: KDX or OTCQX: KLNDF) is pleased to announce that it received the final permit for the Rapid Infiltration Basin (RIB) at the Fire Creek Project. The RIB is expected to be complete in third quarter of 2014. This is the final construction project for operations at Fire Creek and represents the project's long-term water management solution.
The Bureau of Land Management has issued a Determination of National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) Adequacy related to the RIB pipeline and infiltration basin. The RIB design infiltrates water that complies with State and Federal drinking water standards and discharges it into the ground.
Mike Doolin, Klondex Vice President Business Development commented, "Construction of the RIB improves our water management at Fire Creek, resulting in more flexible operations. We are now focusing our attention on acquiring the environmental permits for full-production, expected in the second half of 2015."
