VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Aug. 7, 2014) - Klondex Mines Ltd. (TSX:KDX)(OTCQX:KLNDF) is honored to receive multiple recognitions from the Nevada Mining Association's Safety Awards for 2013. These annual awards recognize operations with the most hours worked without a lost time injury.

The three main award categories are: Open Pit operations, Underground operations, and Contractor operations. Awards are further divided by size of the mine.

Additionally, employees are nominated for individual awards to recognize outstanding safety performance. A Nevada Mining Association committee reviews the nominations and selects the winners based on personal safety record and advocacy of safety in the workplace.

Klondex sites winning performance awards include:

Fire Creek - First Place, Underground Small Mine

Midas - Second Place, Underground Medium Mine (under Newmont's ownership)
