NEWS RELEASE

K92 Mining Inc. Named to 2020 OTCQX Best 50

Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada – January 21, 2020 – K92 Mining Inc. (“ K92” or the

“Company”) (TSXV: KNT, OTCQX: KNTNF) is pleased to announce it has been named to the

2020 OTCQX® Best 50 , a ranking of top performing companies traded on the OTCQX Best

Market last year.

The OTCQX Best 50 is an annual ranking of the top 50 U.S. and international companies traded

on the OTCQX market. The ranking is calculated based on an equal weighting of one-year total

return and average daily dollar volume growth in the previous calendar year. Companies in the

2020 OTCQX Best 50 were ranked based on their performance in 2019.

K92 Chief Executive Officer, John Lewins, stated, “K92 is extremely pleased to be named in the

OTCQX® Best 50 for the second consecutive year. This reflects our operational performance

during 2019 in which K92 increased gold equivalent production 74% from the previous year,

exceeded the top end of our upgraded annual production guidance, and made significant progress

from exploration , both near-mine and regional ly. From a production perspective, we are well

underway with our Stage 2 expansion, announced in March 2019, which will double our

throughput from 2 00,000 tpa to 400,000 tpa. In exploration, the number of drill rigs increased

three-fold from 2018, resulting in accelerated lateral and vertical deposit extent growth at Kora /

Kora North while also making considerable progress regionally at Blue Lake. Highlight drill results

from Kora North in 2019 also set new record high grades at the Kainantu Gold Mine. K92 will

soon be publishing 2020 production guidance and during the first half of 2020 plans to complete

2

an updated resource estimate for Kora / Kora North , and a Stage 3 Expansion Preliminary

Economic Assessment (“PEA”).”
