Klondex Mines Ltd. (TSX: KDX), a Nevada gold exploration and development
company, today announced that Vice President, Exploration, Dean T. 'Ted?
Wilton, has resigned from Klondex to join Uranium Resources, Inc.
(Nasdaq: URRE) as Vice President and Chief Geologist.
Until a new VP, Exploration is appointed, Klondex′s exploration program
will be directed by Chief Geologist, James Balagna; Senior Underground
Geologist, Steve McMillin; and Consulting Geologist, Richard Kern.
Messrs. Balagna, McMillin and Kern have substantial Nevada gold
exploration experience and have overseen elements of Klondex′s Fire
Creek exploration program since 2007, 2011 and 2004, respectively.
Klondex CEO, Blane Wilson, commented, 'We are sorry to see Ted leave
after a brief tenure at Klondex, but we are confident our Fire Creek
exploration program remains in strong hands. This is a great opportunity
for Ted who is a co-founder, shareholder and former Chief Geologist of
Neutron Energy, a privately-held uranium explorer and developer. Ted′s
move reunites him with Neutron which has agreed to be acquired by
Uranium Resources. We wish him all the best in his new role.?
