VANCOUVER, June 27, 2019 /CNW/ - PRIZE MINING CORPORATION ("Prize" or the "Company") (TSXV:PRZ) (OTCQB:PRZFF) (MQSP:GR:FRANKFURT) is pleased to announce that it has reached an agreement with Apex Resources Inc. ("Apex") to amend the terms of the Kena Option Agreement (the "Option Agreement"), that was entered into between the Company's now wholly-owned subsidiary, 1994854 Alberta Ltd. ("1994854"), and Apex on September 23, 2016, subject to TSX-V approval.  The amending agreement to the Option Agreement (the "Amending Agreement") between 1994854 and Apex, dated June 26, 2019, extends future expenditure requirements on the Kena property and advances certain payment of monetary and share considerations in order for the Company, through 1994854, to earn an 80 percent interest in the Kena gold property located in the Kootenay Boundary region of southeastern British Columbia.

"We are appreciative of the support of Apex Resources in working with us to amend the terms of the Kena gold property option agreement" said Michael McPhie, President and CEO of Prize.  "These amendments give us some additional flexibility in allocating our resources in the future and allow us to focus on activities that will give us the greatest opportunity for creating shareholder value.  With a NI 43-101 bulk tonnage gold resource of 481,000 ounces indicated and 1,318,000 ounces inferred we believe in the potential of the Kena Gold Project and are looking forward to advancing it to the next phase of exploration and development in the near term".

As of May 31, 2019, Prize has incurred expenditures totaling approximately $2.35 million on the Kena gold property and has made cash payments of $1,000,000 and issued 1,125,000 million shares since the Option Agreement was signed between the parties.
