K92 Mining Inc. ("K92") (TSX VENTURE:KNT)(OTCQB:KNTNF) is pleased to announce recent results from 11 diamond drill holes completed in the ongoing underground grade control drilling program at its high grade Kainantu Gold Mine.

Importantly in both places these intersections commence less than 20 metres from the drill cuddy."
