K92 Mining Inc. (“K92” or the “Company”) (TSX-V: KNT; OTCQX: KNTNF) is pleased to announce results from the ongoing diamond drilling of the Kora deposit at the Kainantu gold mine in Papua New Guinea.

The results for the latest 28 diamond drill holes completed from underground into the Kora deposit are summarized in Table 1 below. The results continue to demonstrate the high-grade and continuity of Kora with intersections largely focused on increasing drill density to upgrade resources for the Stage 3 Expansion Feasibility Study in addition to some step-out drilling. All drill holes intersected mineralization.

The drilling results are highlighted by hole KMDD0261 which recorded multiple high-grade intersections including 9.80 m at 83.27 g/t Au, 10 g/t Ag and 1.03% Cu (84.92 g/t AuEq, 6.63 m true width) at the K1 Vein. KMDD0261 extended a known high-grade area approximately 50 metres up-dip. The high grade extension was also supported by proximal hole KMDD0259, located 25 metres south and 25 metres deeper, recording multiple intersections including 13.20 m at 24.66 g/t Au, 7 g/t Ag and 0.30% Cu (25.20 g/t AuEq, 9.52 m true width) at the K1 Vein.

Drilling to the south continued to intersect significant mineralization, highlighted by KMDD0229 recording multiple intersections including 1.67 m at 29.76 g/t Au, 8 g/t Ag and 0.87% Cu (31.15 g/t AuEq, 1.11 m true width) at the K1 Vein. KMDD0229 was drilled from the most southerly drill cuddy. On the K2 Vein, southerly drilling at KMDD0255 recorded multiple intersections including 10.40 m at 7.41 g/t Au, 37 g/t Ag and 2.97% Cu (12.26 g/t AuEq, 7.99 m true width).

The drill results once again intersected potentially bulk mineable zones from holes KMDD0257 and KMDD0247. KMDD0257 recorded multiple intersections including 26.34 m at 7.82 g/t Au, 4 g/t Ag and 0.16% Cu (8.11 g/t AuEq, 14.21 m true width) when combining the K1, Kora Link and K2 Veins. KMDD0247 recorded a bulk intersection of 12.60 m at 2.53 g/t Au, 35 g/t Ag and 3.01% Cu (7.42 g/t AuEq, 10.17 m true width) when combining the K1, Kora Link and K2 Veins. Opportunities for higher productivity, bulk mineable areas continue to be assessed for the Stage 3 Expansion Definitive Feasibility Study.

Other high-grade intersection highlights were: KMDD0262 and KMDD0233. KMDD0262, recorded multiple intersections, including 3.80 m at 31.34 g/t Au, 83 g/t Ag and 2.63% Cu (36.23 g/t AuEq, 2.62 m true width) at the K1 Vein. KMDD0233 recorded multiple intersections including 7.41 m at 21.46 g/t Au, 7 g/t Ag and 0.23% Cu (21.88 g/t AuEq, 7.25 m true width) at the K1 Vein.

Long sections of K1 and K2 showing the location of the latest drill holes are provided in Figures 1 and 2, respectively.  Long section showing Kora drilling to date is provided in Figure 3. A core photograph of drill hole KMDD0261 is provided in Figure 4.

(Gold Equivalent (AuEq) is calculated using copper price of US$3.05/lb, silver price of US$16.05/oz and gold price of US$1,400/oz.)

John Lewins, K92 Chief Executive Officer and Director, stated, “The recent drilling results at Kora continue to demonstrate the high-grade pedigree and continuity of the vein system. All twenty-eight holes intersected mineralization, with 18 intersections exceeding +10 g/t AuEq and 29 intersections exceeding +5g/t AuEq. The drill results are highlighted by hole KMDD0261, extending a known high-grade area approximately 50 metres up-dip along the K1 Vein, recording an intersection of 9.80 m at 83.27 g/t Au, 10 g/t Ag and 1.03% Cu (84.92 g/t AuEq, 6.63 m true width). Importantly, this high-grade up-dip extension was supported by proximal hole KMDD0259 reporting 13.20 m at 24.66 g/t Au, 7 g/t Ag and 0.30% Cu (25.20 g/t AuEq, 9.52 m true width) on the K1 Vein.

Drilling to the south continues to remain very encouraging with hole KMDD0229 recording 1.67 m at 29.76 g/t Au, 8 g/t Ag and 0.87% Cu (31.15 g/t AuEq, 1.11 m true width) at the K1 Vein from our most southerly cuddy. We are also on the cusp of completing our first drill cuddy at Kora South, which is beyond the southern boundary of the mining lease and targeting drilling before year-end.

Lastly, we are pleased to announce the arrival of our tenth drill rig on site. Over the last twelve months, our drill rig fleet has doubled. We intend to continue to add drill rigs through 2021, with our eleventh drill rig scheduled to arrive in Q1. Drilling is underway at Kora, Karempe and Judd epithermal vein systems and the Blue Lake porphyry.”

  • Mineral Resource Estimate is included in a 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” with an effective date of April 2, 2020.
  • The Independent and Qualified Person responsible for the Mineral Resource Estimate is Simon Tear, P.Geo. of H & S Consultants Pty. Ltd., Sydney, Australia.
  • Mineral Resources are not Mineral Reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability.
  • Resources were compiled at 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 and 10 g/t gold cut-off grades.
  • Density (t/m3) is on a per zone basis, K1 and Kora Link: 2.84 t/m3; K2: 2.93 t/m3; Waste: 2.8 t/m3
  • Reported tonnage and grade figures are rounded from raw estimates to reflect the order of accuracy of the estimate.
  • Minor variations may occur during the addition of rounded numbers.
  • Calculations used metric units (metres, tonnes and g/t)
  • Gold equivalents are calculated as AuEq = Au g/t + ((0.923 x Cu%)*1.38)+ (0.77 x Ag g/t*0.0115). Gold price US$1,400/oz; Silver US$16.05/oz; Copper US$3.05/lb. Metal payabilities and recoveries are incorporated into the AuEq formula. Recoveries of 92.3% for copper and 77% for silver.

Key Assumptions and Parameters – Kora Deposit

The Kora Deposit comprises two parallel, steeply west dipping, north-south striking quartz-sulphide vein systems, K1 and K2, within an encompassing dilatant structural zone hosted by phyllite. An additional structure, the Kora Link, has also been defined between K1 and K2. There are five Kora Link structures identified, of which three are included in the resource estimate.

The current resource estimate area covers an area of approximately 1,250 metres along strike by 1,050 to 1,150 metres vertically (see Figure 1), representing ~75% of the drill target area. K92 plans to continue to drill the area not yet drilled. The resource estimate includes results from 266 diamond drill holes in addition to face samples taken from horizontal development and from cut and fill faces along the K1 and K2 veins.

Underground drilling consists of diamond core for a range of core sizes depending on the length of hole and expected ground conditions. Sampling is sawn half core under geological control and generally ranges between 0.5 m to 1.0 m. Underground face sampling is completed for every fired round and is to industry standard. QAQC data indicated no significant issues with the sampling or the accuracy of the on-site analysis. Current core recovery of the mineral zone is +95%, with initial drilling around the 90% mark.

Geological logging is consistent and is based on a full set of logging codes covering lithology, alteration, and mineralization.

The geological interpretation of the vein systems is represented as 3D wireframe solids snapped to a combination of diamond drillhole data and underground face sampling (see Figure 1). Definition of the wireframes is based on identified gold mineralization in drill core nominally at a 0.1-0.2g/t Au gold-off in conjunction with geological control/sense and current mining widths.

The wireframes were used to extract 1-metre composites (minimum of 0.5m) from the drillhole and sampling database for gold, copper and silver. A gold top cut of 1,000 g/t was applied to K2 composites and a 150 g/t top cut for the Kora Link #2. No top cuts were applied to silver or copper. Variography was generally poor, as would likely be expected, although K1 indicated better along strike grade continuity.

Grade interpolation of the composite data was completed using Ordinary Kriging with a block size of 1 m by 5 m by 5 m. A larger block size check model indicated no evidence of over-smoothing of gold grade with the smaller block size.

Default average density values have been applied to the different lodes. The defaults are based on limited core measurements using the Archimedes Method (weight in air/weight in water). Density (t/m3) is on a per zone basis, with K1 and Kora Link: 2.84 t/m3; K2: 2.93 t/m3; Waste: 2.8 t/m3.

A three-pass search strategy was applied to the grade interpolation. Search ellipse parameters are listed below. Search ellipse orientations generally reflected the subtle changes in dip and strike of the vein systems, with up to 8 search domains used for each lode.
