Klondex Mines Ltd. (TSX:KDX;OTCQX:KLNDF) has begun initial drifting for its Fire Creek Project on the Karen Vein, located 45.7 metres west of the main decline, and parallel to the Joyce Vein and Vonnie Vein. The Karen Vein is one of the western veins initially discovered in 2013 during development work on the secondary egress. Furthermore, Klondex drilled nine drill holes to the west of the decline and intends to define and extend the Karen Vein while testing for additional parallel structures.
As quoted in the press release:
To date, 25 m (82 ft) of exploration development has been completed along strike of the Karen Vein. The weighted average grade of samples from the Karen Vein is 74.9 g/t (2.18 opt) Au with an average width of 0.5 m (1.5 ft). This information was derived from face samples ranging from 4.6 g/t (0.14 opt) Au to 176.5 g/t (5.1 opt) Au. Channel samples from the Karen Vein, taken north and south of the 5360 access, are summarized and detailed in Table 1.
