VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Aug. 15, 2019 -- K92 Mining Inc. (“K92” or the “Company”) (TSXV: KNT; OTCQB: KNTNF) is pleased to announce results from its financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019.

This second quarter of 2019 saw record tonnes processed, producing 19,652 oz AuEq from the Kora North deposit with cash costs of US$551/gold oz and AISC of US$681/gold oz. Revenue for the second quarter was US$23,293,370 with a gross margin US$10,784,119.

John Lewins, K92 Chief Executive Officer and Director, stated, “The second quarter of 2019 was a record for K92 in terms of tonnes processed. K92 produced just under 20,000 oz AuEq for the quarter and just under 40,000 oz AuEq for the year-to-date, putting us ahead of our production guidance and below the cost guidance provided at the beginning of the year.
