Draw of tranche was effected when certain onsite milestones met including:

• First Ore through the Crusher

K92 Mining Inc. (the “Company” or “K92 Mining”) (TSX VENTURE:KNT) is pleased to announce that it has received CDN$1,600,000 from CRH Funding II Pte. Ltd. (“CRH”), representing CRH’s final tranche investment pursuant to the previously announced gold prepayment agreement dated February 4, 2016 entered into with CRH (the “GPA”).

The draw of this tranche was effected when K92 Mining met certain onsite milestone conditions including first ore through the crusher, commencement of load commissioning of the mill and floatation, the arrival of the drum scrubber onsite and having the plant ready for processing operations subject only to minor punch-list items.

K92 Mining is on schedule and on budget relating to the restart process.

Under this final tranche, which represents the second and final equity tranche under the GPA, CRH was issued an aggregate of 4,571,428 units of K92 (the “Units”). Each Unit consists of: (i) one Class A Preferred Share of the Company, convertible into 8,689,062 Common shares of the Company; and (ii) one warrant (a “Warrant”) entitling CRH to purchase one Common share of K92, exercisable at CDN$0.75 per share for a period of two years following the date of issue. The Warrants are subject to an acceleration right. If the Common Shares of K92 Mining trade at CDN$1.25 or greater for 10 consecutive days where a minimum of 30,000 Common Shares trade each day during such period and a minimum daily average of 100,000 Common Shares trade during such period, then the Company may accelerate the expiry date of the Warrants to the 30th day following the date on which the Company provides notice to CRH of such acceleration in accordance with the terms of the Warrants. Any Warrants not exercised on or before such 30th day will expire.

The Class A Preferred Shares and Warrants issued as part of this final tranche under the GPA will be subject to a hold period of 4 months and one day from the date of issue of the securities.

On behalf of the Company,

Ian Stalker
Chief Executive Officer and Director
