K92 Mining Inc. (“
K92” or the
“
Company”) (TSX-V
: KNT;
OTCQX
: KNTNF) announces that, in response to
comments raised by the Toronto Stock Exchange (”TSX”) in connection
with the Company’s contemplated listing on the TSX (see news
release dated October 15, 2020) it has filed an amended
technical report titled, “Revised Independent Technical Report,
Mineral Resource Estimate Update and Preliminary Economic
Assessment for Expansion of the Kainantu Mine to Treat 1 Mtpa from
the Kora Gold Deposit, Kainantu Project, Papua New Guinea”, dated
November 13
, 2020 and with an effective date of
April 2, 2020 (the “
Technical
Report”), prepared by Anthony Woodward BSc
(Hons.), M.Sc., MAIG, Simon Tear BSc (Hons), EurGeol, PGeo IGI,
EurGeol, Christopher Desoe BE (Min)(Hons), FAusIMM, RPEQ, Lisa J.
Park, BEng (Chem), MAppFin, GAICD, FAusIMM. The Technical Report is
available for download on the Company’s website and SEDAR profile
(www.sedar.com). Refer to the Company’s news release dated
July 27, 2020 for a summary of the results of the preliminary
economic assessment (“
PEA”).
There were no material amendments to the
findings of the PEA and the mineral resource estimates, or to the
recommendations and conclusions provided in the original report
dated July 27, 2020. The Technical Report was amended to
include after-tax data in addition to the pre-tax data in the
economic analysis information disclosed in Section 22, including
Tables 81, 82 and 85, of the Technical Report.
In addition, the name of the laboratory used for
assays of core sampling, as well as details of certification,
independence, and verification of the on-site laboratory were
added.
The PEA is preliminary in nature and includes
inferred mineral resources that are considered too speculative
geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them
that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves, and
there is no certainty that the PEA will be realized. The Technical
Report contains a full description of all underlying assumptions
relating to the PEA. Mineral Resources that are not Mineral
Reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.
