GLOBAL URANIUM MARKET
The best fundamentals in 10 years
• 10 years of under-investment in uranium
exploration and development
• Long-term contract market between
producers and utilities has resumed
• World Nuclear Association reports (Nov):
436 operating reactors (392GW)
61 under construction (68GW)
112 ordered or planned (109GW)
318 proposed reactors (353GW)
World 2023 uranium requirement
revised up by 8.2M lbs to 171M lbs
• Development of Small Nuclear Reactors
1000m
is advancing globally
• Financial market speculation (eg Sprott
Physical Uranium Investment Trust)

TANZANIAN PROJECTS
An exciting, new acquisition*
AKN has acquired several uranium and
copper licences in Tanzania including:
MKUJU – nearby the world class Nyota uranium
project in southern Tanzania; the subject of
significant previous exploration
MANYONI/ITIGI – situated in central Tanzania,
100kms west of Dodoma; existing JORC (2004)
resource of 92Mt (29Mlbs of U3O8) with potential to
be in near-term production
MPANDA/KAREMA – prospective copper areas in
western Tanzania that were the subject of historic
mining operations but largely untouched by modern
exploration methods.
Well-known Tanzanian-born mining entrepreneur
Asimwe Kabunga is the Chairman the AKN Board
and a substantial shareholder.

MKUJU URANIUM PROJECT
Near the world class Nyota U3O8 project
Situated in southern Tanzania, Mkuju
region was the focus of then-ASX Listed
Mantra Resources.
• Mantra established the world class Nyota
uranium project, which was the subject in
2011 of a successful $1.16B takeover by
Russian ARMZ Group.
• Mantra (and other groups) carried out
significant exploration work on the areas to
the south of Nyota, many of which have
now been acquired by AKN.
1000m

MKUJU URANIUM PROJECT
(cont)
Potential to establish a large Nyotastyle deposit at Mkuju
• AuKing holds seven (7) PLs to the
immediate south-east of Nyota, 3 new
application areas over high radiometric
anomalies
• PLs cover an area of 730 sq kms – much of
which was identified by Mantra in 2007 as a
significant radiometric anomaly
• AuKing has commenced a diamond and
auger drilling program over an estimated
150 shallow drill holes
1000m
• More detailed drilling is planned, pending
results from initial activities.

MANYONI/ITIGI URANIUM
PROJECT
AKN’s Manyoni PLs overlaying
historical playa deposits
Manyoni was subject to extensive historical
drilling and exploration before the
Fukushima disaster in 2011.
• Project is situated near the central Tanzanian city
of Dodoma on the main railway line to the port city
of Dar-Es-Salaam.
• Itigi is situated 80kms west of Manyoni and
contains a significant 40km x 10km radiometric
anomaly – potential to significantly increase
already known Manyoni uranium resources
• Mineralisation largely occurs as near-surface
(>50m depth) ancient playa deposits.
• AKN has completed an initial exploration drilling
program at Itigi. Assay results are expected in 6-8
weeks.
1000m

TANZANIAN COPPER
Greenfield copper opportunity in
western Tanzania
Situated in western Tanzania, AKN has
secured interests in copper-prospective
areas Mpanda and Karema.
• Mpanda mineral field hosts the historical
Mukwamba mine which produced copper for
30 years until 1960
• At Karema there is a significant number of
historic artisanal copper and base metals
mines.
• Both Mpanda and Karema have yet to be
subjected to modern exploration techniques.
• AuKing completed an initial soil sampling
program in June – awaiting assay results prior
to further activities.
