Glass Lewis Recommends Klondex Shareholders Vote for Klondex
Director Slate
=======================================================================
- Glass Lewis is the 2nd Proxy Advisory Firm to Support the Klondex
WHITE Proxy Slate -
Vancouver, BC - June 23, 2011 - Klondex Mines Ltd.
(TSX: KDX) announced
today that Glass, Lewis & Co., a leading proxy advisory firm, has also
recommended that shareholders vote FOR all of managements nominees
using the WHITE proxy card and to "Not Vote" for the yellow proxy card
dissident slate put forth by The K2 Principal Fund group to seek
control of the entire Klondex Board.
In its conclusion, Glass Lewis stated that "shareholders are
effectively being asked to replace the entire board, an all-or-nothing
proposition that, in our view, offers little nuance when determining
the structure of the Board going forward.
Considered in the full
context of the presented arguments, including the Companys financial
performance, we do not believe the Dissidents concerns warrant
replacing the board."
Supporting its conclusion, Glass Lewis commented that Klondexs share
price performance over the three years ended June 10, 2011, the last
trading date prior to the Dissidents solicitation, "has significantly
outperformed a peer composite, the S&P Global Gold Index and the
S&P/TSX Composite Index - Gold." Additionally on a historical
price-to-book value multiple in 2009, 2010 and year-to-date in 2011,
Glass Lewis noted that Klondexs price-to-book multiple exceeded that
of a peer group of comparable companies.

recommendation reaffirms our view that Klondexs director slate is a
better choice to represent the interests of Klondex shareholders than
the dissidents slate.
However, this proxy contest is not over until
final votes are cast.
We urge all shareholders to make an extra effort
to vote their shares.
