BHK Mining Corp. provides update on manganese and gold exploration activity in Gabon

Vancouver, December 1 2015 - BHK Mining Corp. (TSXV: BHK.V) ("BHK" or "the Company"). Following the completion of the Company's previously announced non-brokered private placement of common shares for aggregate gross proceeds of $1,750,000 at a price of $0.05 per share, the Company reports that it has now filed its Q3 Management Discussion and Analysis ("MD&A") and Q3 Financial Statements on SEDAR (www.sedar.com) and the Company's website (www.bhkminingcorp.com).

The MD&A for Q3 includes a complete update of the exploration activity undertaken at the Ndjole Licence on the Company's Gabon manganese and gold project.

As discussed in greater detail in the MD&A, highlights from the 2015 phase one exploration program include:


Auger Drilling

A total of 884 auger holes have been drilled over the North East (NE), Central East (CE) and South East (SE) manganese target areas and 2380 samples have been analyzed.

In regards to the NE manganese target, near surface manganese mineralization has been confirmed over a strike length of 1,200 meters associated with both primary shale hosted manganese and large scale structures striking in a north-easterly direction. A parallel trend one kilometer to the south east, has also been confirmed.

In regards to the SE manganese target, mineralization has been confirmed over a length of 3km and a width of up to 500m and will be tested with drilling during the 2016 dry season (July through October). The drilling was originally planned for this year, but has been delayed due to the early onset of the rainy season.


Core Drilling at North East Manganese Target

The initial core drill program was started on August 14, 2015 and aimed at obtaining accurate grade and width data, as well as representative sample material to determine the nature and economic viability of the manganese mineralization. By November 15, 2015, the Company had completed a total of 11 manganese holes in two lines across the NE manganese auger anomaly. The core holes are on average 50m in depth, on an azimuth of 130 degrees and inclined at -60 degrees. The drill core from these holes has been cut and mineralized sections are being sent for laboratory analysis. Assay results are awaited.

The holes drilled and logged to date indicate that three types of manganese are present:

a. Primary sedimentary hosted manganese - within shale/silt formation - manganese oxide e.g. pyrolusite, cryptomelane, psilomelane. Up to 30m thick.

b. Hydrothermal enriched ore - ore associated with fault/shear zones, probably more silicious e.g. Braunite. Maximum 10m thick zone, can be brecciated.

c. Supergene enriched ore - ore near surface, typically stratigraphically hosted and tabular like the Bembele deposit e.g. Pyrolusite. Manganite, Nsutite. 1-4m thick.

Wide zones of primary shale hosted manganese were intersected in holes NDDD0035 and NDDD0040 during the current program and within holes NDDD0018 and NDDD0028 in the 2011 drill program. Representative samples will be submitted for mineralogical and metallurgical testing to determine the mineral species and the potential for economic exploitation.


Soil Sampling

A reconnaissance soil sampling program was initiated during August 2015 to identify further zones of manganese mineralization within prospective lithologies located from mapped geology and interpreted from electromagnetic images. In particular, the priority targets are large shallow dipping manganese horizons (primary shale hosted), which can be mined in bulk with minimum stripping. A number of grids were laid out to cover zones of graphitic schist similar to the horizons at the NE manganese target. The soil samples are currently being dried and analyzed with a Niton portable Xray Florescence machine.


Gold Exploration

In the second quarter of 2015, the company reported on positive gold results from a 33-hole auger drilling program to test for gold mineralization near surface on the Ndjole property. On November 15, 2015, a three-hole core drill program was started to follow-up on these auger results, which highlighted the surface expression and strike of the high grade mineralization previously intersected in core hole NDDD0017 (4.85 metres @ 13.6g/t gold), drilled in 2011 (See BHK's NI 43-101 Technical Report in respect of the Ndjole License, dated May 18, 2014).


Work Program on the Ndjole Licence for the remainder of 2015

The three-hole gold drilling program noted above is currently underway. Once the gold program has been completed, the core rig will move back to the manganese program at the NE target, specifically primary shale hosted mineralization near 2011 holes NDDD0018 and NDDD0028. Mineralized zones within the core will be cut, sampled and submitted for laboratory analysis.

Representative samples of the primary shale hosted manganese oxide will be submitted for mineralogical and metallurgical analysis to determine mineral species and potential as manganese dioxide ore for the battery industry.

Soil sampling will continue until the Ndjole North grid has been completed, expected to occur by the end of November. Further soil sampling will be undertaken once the 2016 dry season arrives.

All soil samples will be dried and prepared before being analyzed with the Niton portable XRF, which provides accurate manganese assays.


About BHK Mining Corp.

BHK is a TSXV-listed junior exploration company with operations primarily in Gabon at the Ndjole Licence, where a new discovery of high-grade, near-surface manganese mineralization has recently been made. In addition to the manganese mineralization, BHK has implemented a drill program to follow up high-grade gold zones previously discovered at the Ndjole License by the former owner of the property. BHK's operations at the Ndjole Licence open the door to further opportunities in this Central African country, which is among the top four manganese producers in the world (Manganese Investing News, June 8, 2015).

BHK's NI 43-101 Technical Report in respect of the Ndjole License is dated May 18, 2014 and was prepared by Derrick Strickland, P. Geo. This technical report is available online on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
