CAUTIONARY NOTES
Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Information
This presentation contains certain information that may constitute forward-looking information under applicable Canadian and U.S. securities legislation, including
but not limited to information about results of exploration, development, mining, evaluation activities, results of reclamation activities, the estimation or realization
of mineral resources and mineral reserves, the timing and amount of estimated future production, the making of future production decisions, expectations
regarding realization of synergies relating to Klondex's projects, the timing and receipt of required permits and approvals, capital expenditures, costs and timing of
the development of new mineral deposits, requirements for additional capital, the sufficiency of working capital and liquidity, and the future prices of precious and
base metals. This forward-looking information entails various risks and uncertainties that are based on current expectations, and actual results may differ materially
from those contained in such information. These uncertainties and risks include, but are not limited to, the strength of the global economy; the price of gold;
operational, funding and liquidity risks; the degree to which mineral resource and mineral reserve estimates are reflective o f actual mineral resources and mineral
reserves; the degree to which factors which would make a mineral deposit commercially viable are present; the risks and hazar ds associated with underground
operations; and the ability of Klondex to fund its substantial capital requirements and operations. Risks and uncertainties a bout the Company’s business are more
fully discussed in the Company’s disclosure materials filed with the securities regulatory authorities in Canada and the U.S. and available at www.sedar.com and
www.SEC.gov, respectively. Readers are urged to read these materials. Klondex assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking information or to update the
reasons why actual results could differ from such information unless required by law.
U.S. Cautionary Note Regarding the Use of Mining Terms
This presentation has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the securities laws in effect in Canada, which differ from the requirements of U.S.
securities laws. All resource and reserve estimates included in this presentation have been prepared in accordance with NI 43-101. NI 43- 101 is a rule developed by
the Canadian Securities Administrators that establishes standards for all public disclosure an issuer makes of scientific and technical information concerning mineral
projects. These standards differ significantly from the mineral reserve disclosure requirements of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) set out in
industry guide 7. In particular, the SEC’s industry guide 7 applies different standards in order to classify mineralization as a reserve. As a result, the definitions of
proven and probable reserves used in NI 43-101 differ from the definitions in SEC industry guide 7. Under SEC standards, mineralization may not be classified as a
“reserve” unless the determination has been made that the mineralization could be economically and legally produced or extracted at the time the reserve
determination is made. This presentation also uses the terms “resources”, “measured resources”, “indicated resources” and “inferred resources”. United states
investors are advised that, while such terms are recognized and required by Canadian securities laws, the SEC does not recognize them. Mineral resources that are
not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. United States investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of measured or indicated
resources will ever be converted into reserves. Further, inferred resources have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence and as to whether they can be
mined legally or economically. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of the inferred resources will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Therefore, United States
investors are also cautioned not to assume that all or any part of the inferred resources exist, or that they can be mined legally or economically. Disclosure of
“contained ounces” in a resource is permitted disclosure under Canadian regulations; however, the SEC normally only permits issuers to report mineralization that
does not constitute “reserves” by SEC standards as in- place tonnage and grade without reference to unit measures. Consequently, reserve and resource information
contained in this presentation is not comparable to similar information that would generally be disclosed by U.S. companies in accordance with the rules of the SEC.
Qualified Person
Brian Morris, Vice President, Exploration of Klondex Mines is a "qualified person" as defined by National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral
Projects (NI 43-101) and has reviewed and is responsible for the technical information contained in this presentation.

Consolidating in
Northern Nevada – three mines
serviced by one central mill
True North developing
into our third significant
operation in North America
TRUE NORTH HISTORY & LOCATION
• San Antonio Mine started in 1931
• Historic production in the San Antonio (SAM) of
1.5 million oz
• In 1994, A-Shaft was deepened to 26L
• 1994 Rea Gold (Rea) purchased True North
• Current Mill built in 1997 by Rea
• 1998 Harmony Gold Inc. acquired the mine
• 2005 San Gold was formed and purchased the
property
• January 2016 Klondex Mines Ltd. announced the
acquisition of True North

RICE LAKE & RED LAKE BELT GEOLOGY
The Rice Lake Deposit is hosted within the Rice Lake Belt and has produced roughly
1.6M oz of gold. This belt is of the same “greenstone” metavolcanic rocks as the Red
Lake and Birch-Uchi Belts which together host multiple >1M oz lode gold deposits.

GEOLOGY
“HISTORY”
•
•
The geology of the Rice Lake area is composed of a North Dipping succession of felsic to mafic
volcaniclastic rocks with intermediate and mafic intrusive components. To date the three main
lithologies that host deposits are:
1. The SAM unit (gabbro) – True North and Cartwright
2. Mafic and Int Volcanics (basalts) – 007, L10, 710/711, 6163, SG1
3. Intermediate Volcanics – Hinge, L13, Cohiba, Wingold
New discoveries were made in the other host rocks (Int – Mafic Volcanics) disproving that all gold
mineralization occurred only in the SAM
True North
6
TRUE NORTH STRUCTURAL CONTROL
• The general N-NE shortening of the
mine trend produced a conjugate
set of NE and NW shears and
tensional components
• “16 type shears” are generally
higher grade and show more
continuity
• “38 type” tensional sets are
stockowk in nature and have
better widths an contribute
significantly larger tonnages
7
GEOLOGY
“NEW MODEL”
•
•
•
Shears were modeled by projecting them from Lidar, UG mapping and Drill hole data
Favorable mafic and intermediate volcanic lithologies were modeled in the district
The discovery of the 710 zone confirmed: a productive structure (98 vein) can leave one
lithology (SAM), continue into another (MV) where it is productive again (710)

SUMMARY
• Near Term Production Drilling
• Down-dip 710/711 on 32 level
• Down-dip extension on Cohiba
• Follow up on new mineralized zones in the 710 FW
• Underground Exploration Drilling
• Drill the SAM unit to the east where 007 project down-dip and test
other favorable structures
• Drill where NE shears project into the south gabbro
• Remodel of all local lithologies and known producing structures to use
in district-wide exploration
• Utilize Klondex Nevada team’s experience to assist in improving mining methods
to minimize dilution, efficiencies to maximize profit
