K92 MINING INC.

K92 ANNOUNCES UPDATED RESOURCE FOR KORA NORTH

HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE:

 The updated resource for the Kora North deposit comprises a Measured Resource

of 33,200 tonnes @ 10.3 g/t Au, 31 g/t Ag and 1.2% Cu; an Indicated Resource of

103,500 tonnes @12.7 g/t Au, 30 g/t Ag and 1.3% Cu and an Inferred Resources of

183,500 tonnes @ 14.4 g/t Au,27 g/t Ag and 0.9% Cu.

 The Total Measured, Indicated and Inferred Resource covers an area of 300 metres

on strike by 150 metres vertically, less than 5% of the target area to be drilled over

the coming 12 months.

K92 Mining Inc. (“K92”) (TSXV – KNT) is pleased to announce that an updated resource has

been defined in Kora North based on results from underground grade control diamond drilling

and face sampling. The updated resource comprises a Measured Resource of 33,200 tonnes @

10.3 g/t Au, 31 g/t Ag and 1.2% Cu; an Indicated Resource of 103,500 tonnes @ 12.7 g/t Au, 30

g/t Ag and 1.3% Cu and an Inferred Resources of 183,500 tonnes @ 14.4 g/t Au, 27 g/t Ag and

0.9% Cu. See Table 1 below.

This updated resource is based on results from 29 diamond drill holes drilled from Diamond

Drill Cuddies 1 and 2 (DDC1 & DDC2) and 261 face samples taken from horizontal

development along the K1, K2 and KL1 veins . The resource covers an a rea approximately 300

metres along strike by 150 metres vertical ly and excludes all tonnages mined from within this

area up until 31 January 2018. This area represents just 5% of the target area of 1,000 metres

along strike by up to 1,000 metres vertically which the Company plans to drill from underground

over the coming 12 months.

The updated resource has been defined after just four months of underground grade control

drilling and represents, at the design production levels of 45 -50,000 ozs per annum, almost three

years of production.

 Gold Equivalent (Au Eq) g/t was calculated using the formula Au g/t + (Cu% x 1. 53) + Ag g/t x

0.0127

 Gold Price US$1,300/oz; Silver US$16.5/oz; Copper US$2.90/lb

 A top cut of 60 g/t was applied to the gold assays for the K1 and K2 lodes and 80 g/t for the KL1

lode

 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 lower 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 continued 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 workings 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 of 60g/t, K1 and KL1 of 80g/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 classified 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.

John Lewins, K92 Chief Executive Officer and Director, states, “In October 2017, K92

commenced grade control drilling and the mining a bulk sample from Kora North. Just over four

months later, we have announced the achievement of commercial production and de fined a

Measure + Indicated + Inferred R esource of 320,000 tonnes at an AuEq grade of 15.4 g/t

containing almost 160,000 ozs of AuEq , covering an area of just 300 metres along strike by 150

metres vertically – equivalent to less than 5% of the total area o f 1,000 metres by 1,000 metres

that we plan to drill out from underground over the coming 12 months. This 160,000 ozs is

equivalent to almost 3 years production at current design levels.

The rate at which we have been able to progress our understanding of the Kora North vein

system, and utilise this information to achieve commercial production is a testament to the skills,

hard work and endeavour of all of our personnel at the Kainantu Gold Mine. We can rightly look

forward with increasing confidence to achieving design production in the coming quarter and

further developing our knowledge of the Kora system and unlocking its undoubted potential.”

K92 Mine Geology Manager and Mine Exploration Manager, Mr. Andrew Kohler, PGeo, a

qualified person under the meaning of Canadian National Instrument 43-101, has reviewed and is

responsible for the technical content of this news release. Data verification by Mr. Kohler

includes significant time onsite reviewing drill core, face sampling, underground workings and

discussing work programs and results with geology and mining personnel.

ON BEHALF OF THE COMPANY,

John Lewins

Chief Executive Officer and Director

K92 has a standard underground face sampling procedure in place in which face geological

mapping and channel samples are taken across the strike, at right angles to the drive walls at

intervals of approximately of 1.5m apart coinciding with the development advance of the

heading. A geologist determines the interval lengths across the face for each sample depending

on the geological character of the material. Two samples are taken per interval at waist and knee

height and the corresponding widths recorded. No greater than 1.5m intervals are allowed during

sampling. Samples are approximately 3.5kg in size. Assay for Au, Ag and Cu are averaged using

length weighting of the sample interval and then, coupled with the orientation of channel and

placed in the database. Standard QAQC procedures are used for underground samples as

described in the ITR Mineral Resour ce Estimate and Preliminary Economic Assessment of

Irumafimpa and Kora Gold Deposits, Kainantu Project, PNG dated 2 March 2017.
