Vancouver, British Columbia, September 8 , 2021 - K92 Mining Inc . (“ K92” or the

S&P/TSX Composite Index effective Monday, September 20, 2021, prior to the open of trading

John Lewins, K92 Chief Executive Officer and Director, stated, “On behalf of the Board of
Directors and our employees, we are honored to be included in the S&P/TSX Composite Index.
This represents a major achievement, and we believe an important milestone acknowledging K92’s
growth accomplished in multiple areas and also a broadening investor base.
Looking ahead, we are very excited about the outlook for K92 . In terms of production, we are
currently ramping up our Stage 2 Expansion with planning for a Stage 3 Expansion already
underway. On exploration, only ~20% of the vein field strike length has be en drill tested and the
vast majority tested remains open at depth. Recent vein field exploration results at the Kora and
Judd vein systems have been some of our strongest to date. Porphyry exploration has also made
considerable progress and is now targeting the potassic core at the Blue Lake Cu-Au porphyry.
And lastly, I would like to acknowledge the tremendous support and dedication of our workforce.
This would not have been possible without them. The Government of Papua New Guinea has also
been a major factor in our success to date.”
