ASX RELEASE
A$1.48M Capital Raising: Entitlement Offer Launched
AuKing Mining Limited (ASX: AKN, AuKing) is pleased to advise that it has launched a
pro-rata non-renounceable entitlement offer to existing shareholders to raise up to a
maximum A$1.48M to fund ongoing exploration activities across the Company’s
portfolio of exploration projects.
Highlights:
➢ Launch of a pro-rata non-renounceable entitlement offer of ordinary shares (New Shares) to
existing shareholders on a 2 for 3 entitlement basis at an issue price of 0.7 cents per share
to raise approximately $1.48 million (Entitlement Offer).
➢ For every two (2) New Shares issued to a holder as part of their subscriptions under the
Entitlement Offer, the holder will also receive one (1) unlisted attaching option exercisable
at 3 cents and expiring 30 April 2027 (New Option).
➢ Entitlement Offer is to fund:
o the planned drilling program at the Mkuju uranium project in southern Tanzania;
o a proposed radiometric survey over the Myoff Creek niobium/REE project in eastern
BC, Canada;
o a planned RC drilling program at Sandiego North, part of the Koongie Park copper/zinc
project;
o initial soil sampling program at the newly-acquired Great Codroy uranium project in
Newfoundland, Canada; and
o the costs of the Entitlement Offer and for general working capital purposes.
➢ AuKing’s Directors (Peter Tighe and Paul Williams) have committed to subscribing for their
pro-rata entitlements under the Entitlement Offer.
The issue price of $0.007 per Share under the Entitlement Offer represents a:
• 12.5% discount to the last closing price of $0.008 on 6 September 2024 (being the last
trading day before AuKing announced the Entitlement Offer); and
• 31.4% discount to the 15-day volume weighted average price of AuKing shares on ASX
of $0.0102 as at the same date.
