NEWS RELEASE

               ALPHAMIN RESOURCES CORP. ANNOUNCES PROJECT UPDATE AND OPTION GRANT.

    MAURITIUS – December 5, 2018 – Alphamin Resources Corp. (AFM: TSXV, “Alphamin” or the “Company”) is
    pleased to announce an update on progress at its Bisie Tin Project.

    Project update

    The Company’s 80.75% owned DRC subsidiary, Alphamin Bisie Mining SA (“ABM”) has now received all approvals
    required to draw down the final $20m of its previously announced $80m credit facility (the “Credit Facility”). Funds
    are expected to be received by Monday 10 December and, based on current projections, should be sufficient to
    see the Company into production.

    Cold commissioning of the crushing circuit is expected to start in the first half of December, while the completion of
    construction of the gravity concentration building and tailings storage facility remain on track for Q1, 2019. Hot
    commissioning (first ore through the plant) is currently expected to commence in late March 2019.

    As disclosed in the Company’s Management Discussion and Analysis on November 28, 2018 the Company
    continues to assess the impact of the likely change of mining method. Rock conditions underground have led
    management to review the suitability of the Sub Level Caving mining method previously planned at Bisie. A Cut
    and Fill mining method is being analysed and if approved, would result in changes to the operating costs, mined
    grade, recovery and mineral reserves. Management expect to receive a revised mining schedule from it’s technical
    mining consultants on or around December 7, 2018. An updated reserve statement and 43-101 is expected to be
    issued in Q1, 2019.

    Grant of stock options

    The Company also announces that, subject to regulatory approval, it has granted 7,235,861 stock options under
    its stock option plan to directors, officers and employees of the Company and its DRC subsidiary. All options
    carry the right to acquire one common share at a price of C$0.26 per share until 3 December 2025, with one third
    of the options vesting after two 2 years, one third after 3 years and the final one third after 4 years from the date
    of grant.

    Further information, videos and photographs of the Project’s progress are available on the Alphamin
    Resources Corp. website at www.alphaminresources.com
