High-End Retail Ain't Easy [View article]
With consumers increasingly comfortable with "remote" shopping, this value-added model that brings the experience to the customer when and where they want - makes a lot of sense.

Beyond insider buying, Klondex is slated to report an updated resource and initiate bulk sampling production of gold/silver in the next few months.
Klondex is one of a small group of gold miners that are positioned to produce gold profitably at much lower gold prices - even below $1000 - but of course we are rooting for prices going the other way over the long term!
The trick is in having grades that are economic at lower gold prices. A few grams per ton doesn't cut it at lower prices - so you need higher grades to make money.
If you look at Klondex's May 2011 resource estimate, you'll see that at a 7 gram cutoff - which is around 1/5 of an ounce, they have over 1.2M indicated ounces of gold vs. 1.6M indicated ounces of gold at a 4 gram cutoff (same sort of thing for indicated ounces). That gives you a window on the strength of the resource. [Note: "Indicated" is a Canadian classification that requires more data/confirmation to reach the classification; inferred is a less stringent standard and therefore less reliable. Klondex has 0.46M ounces of gold on an inferred basis and a 4 gram cuttoff]
Klondex will have three mine plans that reflect three different gold prices. Of course, the lower the gold price, the lower the # of economic ounces - but the gold that is not mined will remain for production if and when gold prices rebound.
CEO Paul Huet has great experience so he understands the need to have differing mine plans and to respond quickly to major pricing changes so that a mine remains as profitable as possible, while also ensuring the lower grades are not "sterilized" by mining activity.
Also, don't forget the silver as Klondex has about 1-1 gold to silver ratio in its resource -which will help offset production costs.
Thought this would be helpful.

A few additional points/clarifications:
*the fund raising grossed C$23M with the exercise of the Agent's option;
* KDX's resource average grade is 9.9 gpt for indicated and 8.2 gpt for the inferred resource, with a 4 gram cutoff as stated
* KDX is working on an updated resource which will include 2011, 2012 & year-to-date 2013 drilling, and a more stringent modeling methodology by Micon International.
* CEO Paul Huet ran Newmont's Midas Mine and started up Great Basin's Hollister Mine, both high-grade underground gold mines similar in geology to Fire Creek and on the Northern Nevada Rift gold trend.
* Larry Phillips, co-founder and former EVP & General Counsel at IAMGOLD $IAG, joins Klondex as Chairman effective April 1st.
