AuKing Mining Ltd managing director Paul Williams talked with Kerry Stevenson at Proactive about the company's recent agreement with Orion Resources, focusing on gold assets in the Cloncurry region of Queensland. 

Williams highlighted that AuKing initially acquired a 15% stake in Orion Resources and has now secured approval to increase its ownership to 50% by investing $5 million by June 30, 2027. The acquisition aims to leverage existing infrastructure and near-term production opportunities, with operations potentially commencing within the next 6 to 12 months. 

"We’re incredibly pleased to be involved in this project," Williams stated. He noted that the deal consolidates key gold assets under one corporate entity for the first time, eliminating previous ownership complexities. Additionally, AuKing recently engaged with the owner of the historic Tick Hill gold mine, which could present another avenue for near-term gold production.

The Cloncurry project includes a permitted processing plant at Lorena and several historical mining leases, which, according to Williams, provide a strong foundation for development. The company has also strengthened its leadership team, with key appointments including mining engineer Mark Fisher, geologist Dr. Kylie Prendergast, and finance executive Nick Harding.

With gold prices remaining strong, AuKing sees significant potential in these assets and is focused on delivering shareholder value through strategic acquisitions and operational development.
