K92 Mining Inc. (TSX-V: KNT; OTCQX: KNTNF) (“K92” or the “Company” ) is pleased to
announce results from the continuing diamond drilling of the Kora North Extension.
Results from Hole KMDD0098 record multiple intersections including 4.54 m at 58.63 g/t Au, 6
g/t Ag and 0.63% Cu (59.63 g/t AuEq) plus 7.70 m at 8.81 g/t Au, 63 g/t Ag and 0.58% Cu
(10.49 g/t AuEq) plus 1.92 m at 3.74 g/t Au, 17 g/t Ag and 0.97% Cu (5.44 g/t AuEq) plus 1.45
m at 3.67 g/t Au, 6 g/t Ag and 0.63% Cu (4.70 g/t AuEq). Results from Hole KMDD0097 record
multiple intersections including 4.15 m at 20.83 g/t Au, 7 g/t Ag and 0.20% Cu (21.21 g/t AuEq)
plus 8.25 m at 5.91 g/t Au, 7 g/t Ag and 0.49% Cu (6.76 g/t AuEq) plus 2.00m at 3.01 g/t Au,
13g/t Ag and 1.91% Cu (6. 09 g/t AuEq) . See Table 1 below for a summary of drill results
including true widths.
The results from Diamond Drill Cuddies 2 & 3 (DDC2 & DDC3) continue to extend both the K1
and K2 lodes while also further delineating the KL structure and confirming its continuity. Long
sections showing all holes drilled to date in both K1 and K2 is provided below.
John Lewins, K92 Chief Executive Officer and Director, states, “The results continue to ext end
the known extent of both the K1 and K2 vein systems along strike and vertically, increasing our
confidence in the continuity of the se high grade vein systems. We will shortly commence a
further update of the Kora North Resource estimate, incorporating all holes completed since the
last resource update as well as the results from the holes currently being drilled. We anticipate
that this updated resource estimate will be completed in the coming month.”
Table 1 below provides a summary of the results from KMDD0092, 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98 and 99
diamond drill holes drilled from DDC2 & 3. Note that KMDD0093 was previously reported on
June 5, 2018. Table 2 provides details of collar location and hole orientation.

The current Kora/Eutompi Inferred Resource, as defined by previous drilling to date, is 4.36
million tonnes at a grade of 7.3 g/t Au, 35 g/t Ag and 2.23 per cent Cu, or 11.2 g/t gold
equivalent (see Table 3) and is open for expansion at depth and in both directions along strike.
K92 has filed and made available for download on the Company's SEDAR profile a technical
report titled "Independent Technical Report, Mineral Resource Update and Preliminary
Economic Assessment of Irumafimpa and Kora Gold Deposits, Kainantu Project, Papua New
Guinea," with an effective date of March 2, 2017, that provides additional information on the
geology of the deposits, drilling and sampling procedures, lab analysis, and quality
assurance/quality control for the project, and additional details on the resource estimates.
The preliminary economic assessment (“PEA”) estimates for Kora, based on the current resource
estimates (4.36 million tonnes of 7.3 g/t Au, 35 g/t Ag and 2.23 per cent Cu):
Over a nine-year operating life, the plant would treat 3.2 mill ion tonnes averaging 7.1 g/t
Au, 25 g/t Ag and 1.7 per cent Cu (9.3 g/t AuEq (1));
This would generate an estimated positive cash flow of $537 -million (U.S.) using current
metal prices if 15 -metre levels are used in mining; if 25 -metre levels are used, the n net
cash flows are estimated as $558 million (U.S.); this cash flow includes conceptual
allowances for capital;
Production of an estimated average of 108,000 AuEq (1) ounces per annum over an eight-
year period from year 2 through to year 9;
An estimated pretax net present value (NPV) of $415 -million (U.S.) for 25 -metre levels,
or $397-million (U.S.) for 15-metre levels, using current metal prices, exchange rates and
a 5 percent discount;
An estimated after -tax NPV of $329 -million (U.S.) for 25 -metre levels, or $316 -million
(U.S.) for 15 -metre levels, using current metal prices, exchange rates and a 5 percent
discount;
Initial capital cost is estimated to be $13.8 -million (U.S.), including the $3.3 million
(U.S.) for the plant upgrade identified in the Mi ncore scoping study, but excluding the
proposed Kora exploration inclines and diamond drilling; sustaining capital cost is
estimated to a further $64 -million (U.S.) spent over the life of the Kora min ing for 25 -
metre levels, or $83 million (U.S.) for 15-metre levels;
Operating cost per tonne is estimated to be $125 (U.S.) per tonne for 25 -metre levels, or
$126 (U.S.) per tonne for 15-metre mining levels;
Excluding initial capital expenditure of $14 -million (U.S.), cash cost is estimated to be
$547 (U.S.) per ounce AuEq (inclusive of a 2.5 percent net smelter return (NSR) royalty)
and all -in sustaining cost (AISC) of $619 (U.S.) per ounce AuEq for 25 -metre mining
levels, or $549 (U.S. ) per ounce (inclusive of a 2.5 percent NSR royalty) and AISC of
$644 (U.S.) per ounce AuEq for 15-metre mining levels.
Metal prices used were $1,300 per ounce for gold, $18 (U.S.) per ounce for silver and $4,800
per tonne for copper.
(1) Gold equivalent calculated on above metal prices.
Kora remains open for expansion in every direction and strongly mineralized at the extent of all
drilling.
The PEA is preliminary in nature and includes inferred mineral resources that are considered too
speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enabl e
them to be categorized as mineral reserves, and there is no certainty that the PEA will be
realized. The technical report contains a full description of all underlying assumptions relating to
the PEA. Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves and d o not have demonstrated
economic viability.

M in Table is millions. Reported tonnage and grade figures are rounded from raw estimates to reflect the order of
accuracy of the estimate. Minor variations may occur during the addition of rounded numbers. Gold equivalents are
calculated as AuEq = Au g/t + Cu%*1.52+ Ag g/t*0.0141.
In addition to the above Irumafimpa and Kora/Eutompi Resources, K92 has also defined an
additional resource at Kora North comprising a Measured Resource of 242,900 tonnes @ 13.9 g/t
Au, 19 g/t Ag and 1.0% Cu; an Indicated Resource of 442,800 tonnes @ 11.8 g/t Au, 21 g/t Ag

Cu. See Table 4 below.

A top cut of 100 g/t was applied to the gold assays for the K1, K2 KL lodes.
Mineral Resources which are not Mineral Reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.
The estimate of Mineral Resources may be materially affected by environmental, permitting, legal, title,
taxation, socio-political, marketing, or other relevant issues.
The Inferred Mineral Resource in this estimate has a low er level of confidence than that applied to an Indicated
Mineral Resource and must not be converted to a Mineral Reserve. It is reasonably expected that the majority
of the Inferred Mineral Resource could be upgraded to an Indicated Mineral Resource with c ontinued
exploration.
All material mined from within the resource envelope up to the effective date of the resource have been
removed from the model.
Wireframes were constructed to constrain lode positions based on geological mapping and logging of working s
and diamond core coupled with the use of face and drill core assay results using a nominal +1 g/t Au cut -off to
define the lode boundary.
Equal length composites of 0.5m were extracted from the database for each lode. A top cut to gold grade was
applied to K2, K1 and KL1 of 100g/t. The ordinary kriging modelling estimation method was then used with
search radii of 35m and 130m for Au, Ag and Cu. At least 3 informing values with a maximum of 12 were
used to estimate each model block.
The Resource was cl assified as measured if both drilling at 25m centres and workings were present, as
indicated if only drilling or workings were presented and inferred for material 15m past the last drill hole or
working.
