the Kora deposit at the Company’s Kainantu Gold Mine in Papua New Guinea (see May 19, 2020
Press Release: K92 Mining Inc. Reports Significant Resource Increase at High -Grade Kora

On March 18, 2020, the Canadian Securities Administrators (“CSA”) announced that they would
provide issuers with a 45 -day extension for filings required on or before June 1, 2020, to allow
issuers the time needed to focus on the many other business an d financial reporting implications
of the COVID-19 pandemic. Accordingly, the British Columbia Securities Commission (“BCSC”)
has enacted BC Instrument 51 -517 - Temporary Exemption from Certain Corporate Finance
Requirements with Deadlines during the Period from June 2 to August 31, 2020 (“BCI 51-517”).
The Company will be relying on the temporary exemption pursuant to BCI 51-517 with respect to
the requirement of section 4.2(l)(j) (technical report filing) and 4.2(5)(iii) (filing deadline) of NI
43-101, to file a technical report within 45 days of the May 19, 2020 disclosure, to support the
first-time disclosure of a material change in mineral resources from the most recently filed
technical report with respect to the Kora deposit at the Company’s Kainantu Gold Mine in Papua
New Guinea.
The Company is continuing to work diligently and expeditiously to complete and file the NI 43-
101 technical report and currently expects to have it filed on or before July 31, 2020.
Until the NI 43-101 technical report is filed, management and other insiders of the Company are
subject to a trading black-out policy that reflects the principles in section 9 of National Policy 11-

The Company confirms that since the filing of its interim consolidated financial statements for the
period ended March 31, 2020, there have been no material business developments other than those
