Komet Resources Inc.: First Technical Evaluation Report Recommends the Continuation of the Mine Operation and Exploration Work

QUEBEC CITY, QUEBEC--(Marketwired - Feb. 8, 2016) - Komet Resources Inc. ("Komet" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:KMT) announces the filling of the first technical evaluation report compliant with the 43-101A1 Regulation for its Guiro project located in Burkina Faso. The author of the report, M. Jacques Marchand, an independent geologist engineer, concludes that the Company should continue the underground development at the Guiro mine as well as the exploration work of the Guiro vein and of the entire property. The report is available on SEDAR and on the Company's website at http://kometgold.com.

As mentioned in the report, Guiro was underground mined by the burkinan company Stremco, which produced 427kg of gold from 50 000t at 8.6g/t Au from 2011 to 2013. The remaining historical resource is evaluated to 270 000t at 11g/t Au. The structure is mined over 300m laterally and recognized down to 230m. In 2015, Komet drilled this structure, running 280 degrees/60 degrees that is now recognized over 700m laterally.

The report also mention other mineralized areas of the Guiro project, which where historically assessed by Minorex in 1993 and Stremco in 2004, among which the most important are: Bayildiaga, historical surface reserve of 65 000t at 7.6 g/t Au, Diouga, historical surface reserve of 22 800t at 9.2 g/t Au and Gangaol, historical surface reserve of 61 000t at 8 g/t Au. The qualified person has not done sufficient work to classify the historical estimate and Komet is not treating the historical estimate as current mineral resources or mineral reserves.

Production

With the newly restored VAT leaching system and the re-launch of its gravimetric plant in november, Komet generated a gold production for an approximate value (not profit) of 560,000 CAD over the last quarter. Added to this is the constant upgrade of underground extraction and the optimization of the plant using additional equipment that has just arrived from France, Australia and Canada by boat. "We are really enthusiastic about these results and the installation of the new equipment should have a significant impact so that we have wind in the sails for the coming months," stated André Gagné, President and CEO of the Company.
