And a 30% haircut ? WTFisthat? Klondex shareholders taken out to the toolshed for you know what ! ! !
Took about a 10% "haircut" due to the BS "proration" crap .
So , if you chose "CASH only" ... this is what you get :
"Klondex shareholders who elected to receive cash consideration were subject to proration and will receive US$0.8867 in cash and 0.4020 of a Hecla share in exchange for their Klondex shares."
Doesn't SEEM like "CASH ONLY" to me ...

What’s the deal here do we get to keep our shares or forced to take the money
Well that and the fact that insiders bought so many shares the last few weeks spells bad for the deal.
No court will approve this buyout.. buyout should be much higher than $2.47 a share.. news out to force shorts to cover IMO. Still has further breakout potential
I know right... insider buy 3M shares 1week before buy out..
Makes one wonder about the big buys last week ....
Just good timing , I suppose ... LOL
Damn right... what are the odds.. 10M still short that need to be covered
Well , what do you know ?? We lucked out ...
https://ih.advfn.com/p.php?pid=nmona&article=76975274&symbol=KLDX
Nice buy for 240k EOD at 1.44.. confirmation Monday would be fantastic
This stock is owned by shorts. Drop was expected today. I got out at open for a profit of .10 cents per share and entered again from 1.30-1.32.. I believe we bounce from here and this area holds for support. Insider Waterton has bought 3.5 million open market shares the last 2 weeks at $1.37. Current holding is over 10%..
There is also 13M plus short shares however they were shorted much high between 2-3 per share. These need to be covered before Q1 filing IMO. By that time the share price will have rebounded and be taking away from the profits.. another note 100M shares held by institutions of the 179M OS. So 13M are short on 80M.. I for one are long on some of those as well as others by the daily trading volume..
The last week we have had daily short of 60%,70%, and 80%.. short deadline for reporting is tomorrow.. if today was another highly shorted day... Tomorrow we could see a nice spike.
Today wasn’t just sell offs. Most of the day the ask was stacked just like they have done every high short day.
What the heck happened here >> anyone ?
"Financial Results - Net loss for the quarter was $7.7 million or $0.04 per share (basic and diluted).

They can’t hold this down forever. What your seeing on the bid is fake. The second any buying pressure hits it vanishes and the price moves up. It’s not moving over night but very soon
Despite a global economic upswing, which has been a powerful tailwind for stocks, gold remains firm and is trading well above the psychologically important US$1,300-per-ounce mark. There are signs that gold will remain firm over the course of 2018, because of a range of economic and geopolitical risks that could trigger the next market correction. One of the best means of earning outsized returns from higher gold is by investing in small gold-mining stocks. A gold miner that stands out as being attractively valued after being roughly handled by the market — down by almost 75% over the last year — is Klondex Mines Ltd. (TSX:KDX)(NYSE:KLDX).
Now what?
Klondex owns and operates a portfolio of gold mines in Canada and the U.S., including the Fire Creek mine in Nevada, which is ranked as the world’s highest-quality operational underground gold mine. It has proven gold reserves of 118,000 ounces with an average grade of 37.34 grams of gold per tonne of ore. Klondex’s total proven and probable gold reserves across its four mines come to 667,000 ounces.
Klondex’s focus on expanding production and reducing costs is delivering considerable dividends for the company. It reported record 2017 gold production of 189,456 ounces, which was a 17% increase over 2016.
Nevertheless, this was below the miner’s revised guidance and can be attributed to the company’s decision to defer the processing of ore from its Hollister mine to allow it to optimize operations at the Midas Mill. That saw it finish 2017 with a stockpile of 15,000 gold ounces, which can be sold over the course of 2018, further boosting earnings.
An aspect of some concern for investors when it comes to Klondex’s operations is the miner’s extremely high costs for each gold ounce sold. For the third quarter 2017, it reported all-in costs of US$1,704 per ounce, which was well above the average spot price for the quarter. It is also significantly higher than many of its peers, including Barrick, which reported full year 2017 all-in costs of US$860 per ounce.
While the headline number is worrying, what investors need to understand is that all-in costs not only reflect production costs, but include expenses related to mine development — growth projects to expand production and sales.
In Klondex’s case, development expenses can be high, because its operations are comprised of underground mines that are focused on extracting gold from narrow mineralized veins. The cost of production is better reflected by a miner’s cash costs. For the third quarter, Klondex’s cash costs came to US$809 per gold ounce produced, which is well below the gold price and comparable to its peers.
Klondex’s operational performance will continue to improve during 2018. The miner has projected that gold production will grow by up to 7%, while cash costs will fall to US$675-725 per ounce, and, importantly, all-in costs are projected to drop to somewhere between US$940 and US$990 per ounce. In an operating environment where gold remains firm, this will give Klondex’s earnings as well as profitability a tremendous boost.
So what?
The miner’s ability to reduce costs and expand gold production makes it an appealing investment. Each of those factors coupled with its stock having plummeted sharply in recent months, despite higher gold, means that Klondex is poised to rally significantly and could easily double in value.
This appears to be good news ... ?
Yet , the market is not impressed ...

The technical report titled "Technical Report for the Fire Creek Project, Lander County, Nevada" (the "Technical Report") was originally filed on SEDAR on February 5, 2018. The Technical Report is being amended in order to correct certain formula errors and inputs used in Section 21 (page 248) and Section 22 (page 251). The changes to Section 21 were made to remove 2018 drilling capital from Table 21-1 and to remove capital costs shown in Table 21-3, which are not modeled as such in Section 22, and add those costs to Table 21-4. The latter change presents a more representative view of operating costs used in the financial model. The changes to Section 22 were made to Tables 22-1, 22-2, 22-3 and Table 1-5 to correct an error in the operating costs in the cash flow model, incorporate the reduction of the unnecessary 2018 drilling capital, correct the estimated royalty payments and make corresponding changes to deprecation, taxes, net income, cash flows, and key operating and financial statistics. These changes are also reflected in Figure 22-1 and Figure 22-2. The above changes resulted in total net income and cumulative cash flows each increasing by $19.6M, as reflected in Tables 22-1 and 22-2. Other than the changes made to the tables and figures noted above, the Technical Report remains the same in all respects.
Clarus Securities analyst J. Spratt now expects that the company will earn $0.07 per share for the year, down from their previous estimate of $0.10. Clarus Securities has a “Accumulate” rating on the stock. Clarus Securities also issued estimates for Klondex Mines’ FY2019 earnings at $0.42 EPS.

Very well stated. If they start to focus, they will start to see the returns.
Q3 was dismal. MGMT Focus: Output-Earnings Stability. It's time to slow this 110% reinvestment mindset; stop drilling/drilling/drilling. KLDX creates a perception of HAPHAZARD MGMT. CO must stabilize and maintain manageable and predictable production levels: SPENDING TOO. It smells like drill overkill. The $2.38 stock price is what KLDX DESERVES: performance is too erratic to instill investor confidence. It would also be helpful:
1. The Midas CIL circuit for Hollister ore adds how much in daily Midas mill tonnage?
2. When is KLDX increasing Midas Capacity? Can they expand slowly, like a 250 ton annual mill output growth? A leach pad alternative strategy for marginal ore?
Midas Mill needs expand to at least a 2000 ton capacity. If modular approaches could add 250 ton segments, not interrupting operations, that would be ideal. WHY isn't KLDX developing a mine/mill plan that makes everyone comfortable.
Making decisions on the fly needs to transition into a disciplined and controlled structure. $2.38 might then be $3.50-$3.95: not $2.38.

Klondex Mines gets shareholder approval to buy Bison Gold
http://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/185516/klondex-mines-gets-shareholder-approval-to-buy-bison-gold-185516.html
From "The Motley Fool"
Have You Considered Klondex Mines Ltd.?
Most investors haven’t heard of Klondex Mines Ltd. (TSX:KDX) yet, but that relatively unknown status is about to disappear.
Klondex is an intermediate gold miner with operations in Canada as well as the U.S. Among the mines the company owns and operates, the Fire Creek mine is widely regarded as the highest-quality underground mine in the world.
Precious metals prices have steadily increased over the course of the past two years, following several years of depressed prices that saw gold collapse from the US$1,900 per ounce level in 2011, reaching the sub-US$1,100 per ounce level over a year ago. During that period, gold producers often turned to cost-cutting efforts and efficiency improvements to minimize losses until prices recovered.
With gold prices now recovering from those levels, the cost-cutting and efficiency improvements of the past few years have become a welcome boost to the bottom line, making gold miners such as Klondex intriguing investment options.
Klondex has immense growth potential
The first thing that is interesting about Klondex is the impressive production growth the company has registered over the past year.
Klondex recently provided an operational update on the most recent quarter, where the company realized production growth of 94% over the previous quarter. Klondex’s production guidance for the fiscal year is currently set in the 210,000-225,000 ounces range, which is an incredible 36% year-over-year change.
Gold is currently hovering just shy of US$1,300 per ounce and industry experts still believe the precious metal could surpass and stay above the US$1,300 per ounce level by the end of the year.
That bodes well for Klondex for a few reasons.
First, Klondex is set to begin scaling up production at both the True North and Hollister mines. The True North mine in particular was the subject of a recent report by Klondex which indicated that gold reserves were 25% higher than previously thought. Assuming that gold continues to appreciate, Klondex should see a significant boost to earnings.
Second, that increased production ramp-up at both the True North and Hollister mines comes at an added cost, which is deceptively skewing the all-in sustaining cost of the miner to be higher than it should. Once that ramp-up is complete and the mines are producing more gold, costs will drop across the board.
Klondex’s operational update for the most recent quarter is just as promising. Klondex produced over 66,00o gold equivalent ounces in the quarter and sold off 69,522 gold equivalent ounces. The company also mined 53,248 gold equivalent ounces in the quarter, which falls into the expected volume for the quarter.
Year to date, Klondex has produced 101,019 gold equivalent ounces at its three mines, and it will begin processing at an additional mine later this year.
Klondex is slated to report financials for the second quarter later this month, and, in my opinion, remains a great opportunity for investors looking to add a gold miner to their portfolios.

Fibonacci target tracks on the KLDX chart
....and the larger picture. Looks like the bubble got pumped up 1 dollar higher than it should have. the topping resistance zone on the way down around 5.25 , and the true target zone (Fibonacci) on the way up at 5 dollars. ok. the pullback target zone that should be around 3 dollars , finally got there now.... maybe 3 dollar area is ok to buy. but the balance zone is around 3.50-4.00 so I wouldn't expect another giant rally from here, maybe a slow climb that seems to wallow around the 3.60-4.20 area for a while.
I'm looking at MUX as well for bottom fishing, around 2.25-2.00 area
MUX needs to come down a little more for me.
Good post flemsnopes....
timely too...as June began,it looks like it might have bottomed. Do you think that's the only reason for such a big 50 % haircut?? is KLDX a good miner? or did it just get bubbled up as a darling pump and dump game in the last year.?
3 dollars might be the dip to buy now at a good bottom if the company is really solid.
Anybody interested in Klondex? Ive been watching it on my list for a while. Not surprised to see any bubble get hammered back down. Look at many miners did this too...TAHO,AG, lots of miners collapsed after the big 2016 bubble rally. and after the 2017 bounce too. like KLDX
Here is the likely reason for the decline in KLDX since March. From what I can gather, the index sells the stocks being removed prior to the announcement. Note KLDX at the bottom of the list and that every mining company removed declined as a result of the shares dumped on the market. Hopefully, the forced selling will be through soon.
I wonder if Klondex will try to acquire Kerr Mines or at least the Golden 'Copperstone Mine' ?

Development and Drilling Updates at Hollister; Intercepts 12.96 AuEq opt over 1.4 Feet
Marketwired MarketwiredMay 3, 2017
Klondex Announces Project Development and Drilling Updates at Hollister; Intercepts 12.96 AuEq opt over 1.4 Feet
RENO, NV--(Marketwired - May 03, 2017) - Klondex Mines Ltd. (KDX.TO) (NYSE MKT: KLDX) ("Klondex" or the "Company") is pleased to provide an update on project development activities and underground drilling at its Hollister Mine ("Hollister") located in northern Nevada, USA. These drill results will be included in the Company's initial mineral resource estimate scheduled to be released in the second quarter.
Project Development Highlights:
Rehabbed approximately 4,000 feet of underground workings in the main zone
Replaced approximately 4,000 feet of air and water lines
Repaired the dewatering system, ventilation system, electrical sub-station and underground mobile equipment
Actively developing the Gloria vein system including approximately 1,025 feet and 2,600 feet of waste and ore development, respectively
Initial mineral resource estimate for the Gloria vein system in the second quarter
Gloria Vein System Underground Drilling Highlights: (see TABLE 1 for complete results)
G17-041: 12.96 opt AuEq over 1.4 ft., or 444.3 g/t over 0.4 m
G17-044: 4.18 opt AuEq over 4.0 ft., or 143.3 g/t over 1.2 m
G16-021: 2.57 opt AuEq over 1.6 ft., or 88.1 g/t over 0.5 m
G16-018: 1.35 opt AuEq over 4.3 ft., or 46.3 g/t over 1.3 m
G16-010: 0.75 opt AuEq over 4.2 ft., or 25.7 g/t over 1.3 m
KEY POINTS:
Thirty Nine underground core holes totaling 14,656 ft. (4,467 m) were drilled during this reporting period.
The intent of this drill program was to infill the pre-existing drill holes to increase the drill hole density in the Gloria zone. This will allow the Company to produce an initial mineral resource estimate for the Gloria vein system, which is expected to be released in the second quarter.
Mr. Brian Morris, Senior Vice President, Exploration said, "We are seeing excellent grades and widths in the drill results which are consistent with what was historically mined in the main Hollister Mine." Mr. Morris continued, "Moreover the mineralized vertical extent appears to be similar to the Main Hollister workings."
Assays were performed by American Assay of Sparks, Nevada, as directed under the supervision of Klondex staff. This organization is an ISO 17025 accredited independent laboratory. Underground drill core samples were assayed using a fire assay one-assay ton method with an ICP finish. If initial Au assays were > 5ppm or Ag was > 200ppm the sample is re-assayed with a gravimetric finish. The quality control and assurance program included the insertion of standards and blanks, the retention of pulps and rejects. The core lengths are actual lengths as drilled and were not adjusted for the true width of the mineralized zones.

Klondex Update on Rice Lake Development Activities
Marketwired Klondex Mines Ltd.
April 14, 2016 8:04 AM
????
VANCOUVER, BC--(Marketwired - April 14, 2016) - Klondex Mines Ltd. (KDX.TO) (NYSE MKT: KLDX) ("Klondex" or the "Company") is pleased to provide an update on the Company's exploration and development activities at its Rice Lake Mine in Manitoba, Canada. The drill results summarized below were conducted by a prior owner of the Rice Lake Project. The Company intends to follow-up on the 15 hole drill program later this year. A summary of the results of this prior drill program is set out below.
Rice Lake Drilling Highlights from Q4 2014:
644-14-009: 0.15 opt Au over 14 ft, or 5.1 g/t over 4.3 m (Hanging Wall)
Including 0.30 opt Au over 5.3 ft, or 10.3 g/t over 1.6 m
644-14-011: 0.59 opt Au over 2.3 ft, or 20.4 g/t over 0.7 m (Hanging Wall)
644-14-016: 0.70 opt Au over 4.2 ft, or 24.1 g/t over 1.3 m (Foot Wall),
and 0.53 opt Au over 7.3 ft, or 18.1 g/t over 2.2 m (91 Vein)
644-14-017: 0.42 opt Au over 10.0 ft, or 14.3 g/t over 3.0 m (Foot Wall)
Including 0.76 opt Au over 4.3 ft, or 26.0 g/t over 1.3 m
644-14-018: 0.43 opt Au over 22.2 ft, or 14.8 g/t over 6.8 m (Foot Wall)
Including 0.57 opt Au over 16.4 ft, or 19.6 g/t over 5.0 m
644-14-019: 0.54 opt Au over 17.3 ft, or 18.4 g/t over 5.3 m (Foot Wall)
644-14-021: 1.89 opt Au over 14.0 ft, or 64.7 g/t over 4.3 m (Foot Wall),
and 0.53 opt Au over 3.3 ft, or 18.1 g/t over 1.0 m (91 Vein)
A total of 15 holes totaling 6,485 ft (1,977 m) were drilled during the fourth quarter of 2014 by San Gold Corporation from the 6440 drill station. These holes were targeting the down-dip extension of the 91 vein. This drilling identified the potential for a new vein in the footwall of the 91 vein adjacent to the 24 level incline. Moreover, an additional mineralized structure was intersected in the hanging wall of the 91 vein. This mineralization occurred where northeast and northwest structures intercept the San Antonio Mining unit (SAM) which is the host rock to much of the historic mining at the Rice Lake Mine. Drilling is planned for later this year to follow up these high grade intercepts. (TABLE 1)
Project development activities continue to advance and are on schedule and within budget.
Project Development Highlights:
Rice Lake Project has completed 83 days without a Loss Time Incident.
The notice to recommence mining and milling operations was approved by the Director of Manitoba Mineral Resources in March, 2016.
Shaft Project Complete - 100% of the guides have been replaced.
Track Repair Ongoing - Approximately 1,500 of track has been ditched and repaired at the 2600 level; project is ~55% complete.
Initiated testing of narrow vein long hole design to reduce dilution.
New underground shop and new gear storage cut-outs are 80% complete.
Initial metallurgical testing on existing tailings indicate the tailings can be processed through the existing mill flow sheet.
Mr. Paul Huet, President and CEO commented, "Our progress at the Rice Lake Mine has proceeded better than expected. The results of the Q4 2014 drill program noted above are very encouraging and suggest the opportunity for new high grade discoveries at Rice Lake." Mr. Huet continued, "Our progress in refurbishing the track and the shaft is on budget and on schedule and we are excited about the successful testing of long hole stoping at the mine. We continue to expect to be in a position to announce a production decision in the second half of this year, and we remain grateful to be part of such an exceptional and supportive mining community in Bissett."
Underground drill core samples were assayed on site in the then owner's assay lab using the fire assay method with an AA and gravimetric finish. The quality control and assurance program included the insertion of standards, the retention of pulps and rejects, and spot checks utilizing independent labs including TSL Laboratories in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan and Accurassay Laboratories in Thunder Bay, Ontario. The core lengths are actual lengths as drilled and were not adjusted for the true width of the mineralized zones.

VANCOUVER, BC--(Marketwired - April 19, 2016) - Klondex Mines Ltd. (KDX.TO) (NYSE MKT: KLDX) ("Klondex" or the "Company") is pleased to report its production results for the first quarter of 2016 for its Fire Creek and Midas mines.
Three months ended March 31, 2016
Fire Creek Midas Total
Ore tons milled 32,742 41,013 73,755
Average gold mill head grade (oz/ton) 0.69 0.12 0.38
Average silver mill head grade (oz/ton) 0.92 7.98 4.84
Average gold equivalent mill head grade (oz/ton)(1) 0.70 0.22 0.44
Average gold recovery rate (%) 93.6 % 93.5 % 93.6 %
Average silver recovery rate (%) 88.6 % 90.6 % 90.4 %
Gold produced (ounces) 21,219 4,743 25,962
Silver produced (ounces) 26,693 296,429 323,122
Gold equivalent produced (ounces)(1) 21,575 8,476 30,142
Gold sold (ounces) 18,545 8,419 26,964
Silver sold (ounces) 34,845 290,429 325,274
Gold equivalent sold (ounces)(1) 19,010 12,077 31,172
(1) Gold equivalent ounces ("GEO") and grades are computed as the applicable gold ounces/grade plus the silver ounces/grade divided by a GEO ratio. GEO ratios are computed by dividing the average realized gold price per ounce by the average realized silver price per ounce received by the Company in the respective period. Preliminary GEO ratios were approximately 75.0:1 for Fire Creek, 79.4:1 for Midas, and 77.3:1 for Total.
First quarter 2016 production results were in-line with the Company's expectations which anticipates GEO production and grades progressively increasing throughout the year.
Lower grades during the first quarter at Fire Creek were the result of increased silling activities to open up additional working faces and provide future flexibility in the mine plan. Silling, or ore development on the vein, encompasses higher dilution, as compared to long-hole stoping or cut and fill mining, due to wider minimum mining widths.
As previously stated, at Midas, planned ore development activities continued which resulted in mining areas with grades consistent with the fourth quarter of 2015.
The 73,755 ore tons milled represents a quarterly record for the Company as the mining rate has increased from prior year levels to support our production growth and accommodate the planned lower ore grades in the first half of the year.
The Company reiterates its 2016 production guidance of a total of approximately 145,000 to 150,000 GEOs, which is split approximately 40%-45% in the first half of 2016 and 55%-60% in the second half of 2016.
Mr. Paul Huet, President and CEO commented, "Our first quarter 2016 operating results have positioned us well to continue our trend of growing Nevada's production year-over-year. The entire Klondex team has done a great job executing our strategy and with the new $25.0 million credit facility in place and project development work well underway at Rice Lake, I am excited to see what we can accomplish during the rest of the year."
