K92 Mining Inc. Provides Corporate And Site Update

May 30, 2016

K92 Mining Inc. (“K92 Mining” or the “Company”) (TSXV: KNT) is pleased to provide a corporate and site update.

Site

K92 Mining reports that the remedial work on the main mine access (Muck Bay 9) is expected to be completed by month end, allowing full access to the upper working levels. Further, the underground mining equipment required for the restart of operations including Twin Boom Jumbo, loaders, compressor and IT are now on onsite, with additional equipment in transit or on order.

Additionally, the Company commissioned and has now received a Detailed Mine Plan for the Irumafimpa gold deposit from Australian Mine Design and Development Pty Ltd., which will guide the Company’s mine restart. Initial load commissioning of the crushing section and water commissioning of the mill and flotation sections is scheduled to commence prior to the end of the month. Other improvement and enhancement work at the processing facility are under way, including the installation of a drum scrubber, which has now arrived on site ready for installation in the coming month. These actions are part of the company’s business plan to enhance, improve, rehabilitate and restart mining operations within the company’s Mining License 150 (as described in the Independent Technical Report, Resource Estimate and Summary of Mining Facilities, Kainantu Project, Papua New Guinea, Nolidan Mineral Consultants, Author Anthony Woodward, BSc Hons., M.Sc., MAIG, April 15, 2016 – a copy of which is available for review and has been filed on SEDAR under the Company’s profile).

Ian Stalker, Chief Executive Officer, states,

“The business plan developed for K92’s restart of operations is being executed and is on track. We have an able team of expert mining professional’s onsite and substantial surface and underground infrastructure in place as a result of the acquisition from Barrick Gold. Additionally, the processing facility enhancements and equipment purchases we set out to make during the rehabilitation phase are almost complete. We thank the local communities for their strong support and enthusiasm for the restart process and look forward to the enhanced economic opportunities and employment this project will create.”
