Kenadyr Mining Holdings Corp. Commences Trading on the TSX Venture Exchange

VANCOUVER, March 31, 2017 - Kenadyr Mining Holdings Corp. (TSX VENTURE:KEN) ("Kenadyr" or the "Company") is pleased to announce it has commenced trading today on the TSX Venture Exchange with the symbol TSXV: KEN.

Kenadyr has no debt, approximately $8.5 million in cash, a strong institutional shareholder base and a management team with extensive in-country operational experience and merger and acquisition expertise.

Kenadyr's Bourbai project comprises a 100-per-cent owned exploration license covering a contiguous 164 square kilometre land package that encircles the Zigin/Kyrgyz/Altyn newly constructed and operational Taldy-Bulak Levoberejnv mine ("TBL Mine") which was built at a cost of USD $296-million, in northern Kyrgyz Republic.

Zijin, the majority owner of the TBL Mine, is one of China's largest gold producers, second largest copper and zinc producer, as well as a major producer of tungsten and iron ore. In 2015, Zijin's sales revenue and net profit attributable to the parent company reached USD $11.44 billion and USD $255 million respectively, ranking 1st and 2nd respectively among 14 major global public gold miners (source: Zijin website). According to a news release published by Zijin Mining Group Co. Ltd. on Aug. 15, 2011, the national resources table of Kyrgyz Republic stated that the Taldy-Bulak Levoberejny field contains (C1 plus C2) 8,906,100 tonnes of gold ore (the average grade is 7.23 grams per tonne) and the gold metal volume is 64,420.5 kilograms, among which, the C1 grade (initial mining reserve) is 4,949,754 tonnes of gold ore (the average grade is 7.02 grams per tonne) and the gold metal volume is 34,754.6 kilograms. The TBL Mine is designed to produce 125,000 ounces of gold per annum. The TBL Mine deposit directly connects to Kenadyr's initial drill target, the south zone, which was previously drilled by the Soviets.

Kenadyr's Borubai project, which surrounds the TBL Mine, has been the subject of extensive historic exploration including drilling (98,200 metres in 184 diamond drill holes), trenching (13,800 cumulative metres), bulldozer cuts (33,400 cumulative metres), geologic mapping at 1:25,000 and 1:50,000 scales, ridge, spur and grid soil geochemistry for multielements (14,200 samples), rock geochemical sampling (2,320 samples), pan concentrate sampling (790 samples), 100 metres of adits, and 184 metres of underground raises. Additionally, the entire area has been subject to airborne magnetic, radiometric and gravity surveys, as well as ground-based resistivity and induced polarization surveys).

Readers are cautioned that the resource and reserve estimates relating to the TBL Mine do not extend to the Company's Borubai project. Neither the Company nor Kenadyr has independently verified the information with respect to the TBL Mine provided in this news release and it is not necessarily indicative of the mineralization on the Borubai project.

The Company is not treating the historical estimates on the TBL Mine as current mineral resources or mineral reserves as defined in National Instrument 43-101. The Company cautions readers that the historical estimates on the TBL Mine disclosed in this news release should not be relied upon.

Additional information in respect of the Company's business and the Borubai project is available in the Company's filing statement dated Feb. 27, 2017, available under the Company's profile on SEDAR.

Stuart (Tookie) Angus (Chairman), Alexander Becker (Chief Executive Officer), Bryan Slusarchuk (President), Douglas J. Kirwin and Brian Lueck. Mark Eaton will act as an adviser to the Company.
