QUEBEC CITY, QUEBEC--(Marketwired - Oct. 21, 2014) - Komet Resources inc. ("Komet" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:KMT) is pleased to announce that the Company was officially convened to attend the Commission Nationale des Mines of Burkina Faso with respect to the transfer of the Guiro/Diouga license ownership. The Company also announces its short term work program planned for the Guiro mine as well as the appointment of Mr. Pierre Tremblay as Superintendant of Underground Operations at Komet Resources Africa S.A., a wholly-owned subsidiary.

Notification to attend de Commission Nationale des Mines of Burkina Faso

According to the legislation, the Company is invited to submit its project to the 33 members of the Commission today, October 21st. On this occasion, it is the Direction Générale des Mines et de la Géologie that will assess the Guiro mine operating license transfer request. The President and CEO of Komet, Mr. André Gagné, will therefore mobilize to Ouagadougou to deliver the presentation with the collaboration of Mr. Dieudonné Samson Yaogho, Komet's national director in Burkina Faso. This is great news since the operating license transfer will complete the business transaction initiated with Stremco S.A. and will allow the on-site team to start the work program at the mine. The license transfer is likely to be completed by the end of November at the latest.

Planned work at the Guiro mine

Komet has been progressing towards the re-opening the Guiro mine for production. The Company has indeed maintained a continuous presence on the site since August 1st, 2014. A complete and comprehensive review of all equipment and processes was carried out. Series of tests allowed identifying actions to be taken in order to yield very short term income on the one hand, and on the other, to optimize the operation of the mine.

The strategy adopted consists in 2 parallel steps :

• First step: enabling the upgraded VAT process (leaching) in order to process a significant amount of stockpiled crushed tailings available on the site.
• Second step: design, development and construction of a new gravimetric circuit including the upgrading of the crushing/grinding line. All engineering and construction work will be overseen and done by our main partner, IMAGRI, which is active across all West Africa and a partner of many of the biggest mines in the sub-region.

Appointment of Pierre Tremblay

The Company is pleased to announce the appointment of Mr. Pierre Tremblay as Superintendant of Underground Operations at the Burkina Faso subsidiary. This appointment is effective since October 1, 2014. Mr. Tremblay holds a degree in mechanical engineering with a specialization in diesel mechanics. He also has additional trainings in « Mine Modules », « Common Core », mine rescue and is a certified winch operator. Mr. Tremblay started in the mining sector in the 1980s as a shaft sinker with mining contractor Dynatec. Then he carried out a number of jobs for different mine contractors and operators such as Thyssen, Ross & Finlay and Falconbridge. In the early 1990s, Mr. Tremblay was still involved in mining operations and pursued his career as supervisor, going from team leader to superintendant for Québec Cartier, Falconbridge (Raglan), Semafo (Niger), Cmac-Thyssen Mining and finally at Dumas, where he became Underground Development Captain for various contracts.

With his 30 years of underground experience, Mr. Tremblay now joins and reinforces the Komet team on the Guiro site.

A total of two-hundred-fifty-thousand (250 000) options were granted to the new Superintendant. The value of the options granted at the hiring date was 0.47$.
