COMPANY HIGHLIGHTS
TEAM IN PLACE TO DELIVER: Our board and management
comprise of industry veterans with decades of leadership and
operational experience at major gold producers including Placer
Dome Inc., Barrick Gold Corporation, BHP Billiton, Ivanhoe Mines,
WMC Resources, Normandy Mining/Newmont and Pilbara Minerals
as well as deep commercial expertise drawn from Mitsui & Co Group
roles, ensuring disciplined execution and sustained value creation.
STRATEGIC CONSOLIDATION OPPORTUNITY
In addition to our exploration tenure, multiple third-party
deposits lie within hauling distance of the Lorena plant and can
be toll-treated or JV-processed, diversifying feed sources and
accelerating cash flow.
RESTART PATHWAY INCLUDING EARLY CASH FLOW: Initiate
operations through a 50:50 JV with the private owner of the Tick Hill
mine to toll-treat Tick Hill tailings, with plans to scale up to
nameplate capacity through additional satellite assets.
STRATEGIC ACQUISITION ON ATTRACTIVE
TERMS: Deal terms have been finalised to
acquire 100% of the Cloncurry Gold Project in
Queensland (currently under care and
maintenance) from the current owners. The
transaction includes the processing plant and
associated land package, with AuKing to act as
operator.
PROCESSING PLANT WITH EXCELLENT
INFRASTRUCTURE: Fully permitted plant
(commissioned 2018, 280ktpa) with
replacement value >$30M, 15km from
Cloncurry; enables low-cost feed from
multiple satellite deposits.
SCALABLE RESOURCE WITH UPSIDE: Fully-
permitted MLs at Mt Freda and Golden Mile
with historic JORC resources and upcoming

INFRASTRUCTURE

EXISTING OPEN PITS WITH
VALID MINING LEASES- MT FREDA
STRATEGIC VALUE
Defined open-pit infrastructure in place, direct haul to Lorena
CIL plant.
HISTORIC JORC RESOURCE: A JORC-compliant resource
was previously reported (Indicated & Inferred;).
EXPANSION POTENTIAL: The existing open‐pit remains
open along strike and at depth, offering significant upside.
PLANNED DRILL PROGRAM: RC + DD drilling to expand
and infill, upgrade classification to M&I and delineate a
maiden Reserve.
DEPOSIT GEOLOGY: Hosted in a volcano-sedimentary sequence
dominated by basalts and sandstones; mineralisation occurs in
structurally controlled quartz veining and breccias .
PERMITTING & LOGISTICS: MLs in good standing with EA in
place; haul road to Lorena plant established; on-site tailings
capacity available
10
EXISTING OPEN PITS WITH
VALID MINING LEASES- Golden Mile
STRATEGIC VALUE
Defined open-pit infrastructure in place, direct haul to Lorena
CIL plant.
HISTORIC JORC RESOURCE: A JORC-compliant resource
was previously reported under the former owner.
DRILL‐READY TARGETS: Multiple high-priority zones
along the Shamrock and Comstock structures.
PLANNED DRILL PROGRAM: Infill and extensional
RC/diamond drilling planned to qualify and upgrade the
Mineral Resource Estimate.
GEOLOGICAL SETTING: Quartz-carbonate veins hosted in
chlorite–sericite alteration envelopes.Mineralisation at Mt Freda
and Golden Mile is vein-hosted in a volcano-sedimentary
sequence predominantly composed of basalts and sandstones;
mineralisation is not confined to a single lithology.
METALLURGICAL PROFILE: Historical test work indicates strong
gravity recovery ahead of CIL. Further testwork to be completed
as part of mining restart plan.

EARLY CASHFLOW
POTENTIAL – TICK HILL
TAILINGS
JV & PROJECT SCOPE: 50:50 JV with Tick Hill owner to process
historic tailings & waste rock. Toll-treat model eliminates upfront
mining capex and uses Lorena plant capacity.
HISTORIC PRODUCTION & TECHNICAL DUE DILIGENCE: Tick
Hill produced ~665 koz at ~25 g/t Au in the early 1990s . 2020 PFS
by Carnaby Resources confirmed technical & economic viability
at A$2,300/oz .On-site pilot plant validates metallurgical
performance and tailings handling workflows.
WORK PROGRAM & NEXT STEPS: Engaged independent
consultant for PEA to refine cost model and mine
plan.Complete feasibility study prior to commencement of
toll-treat operations.
50:50 JV TO FAST-TRACK CASH FLOW BY TOLL-TREATING

MAJOR GROWTH POTENTIAL – MT SCHEELITE PROSPECT
IDENTIFIED GOLD MINERALISATION AT MT SCHEELITE AND
PROXIMITY TO NEARBY COMSTOCK AND SHAMROCK OPEN PITS
PRIME LOCATION: 600 m west of the Comstock &
Shamrock pits, with established haul road access to the
Lorena plant.
HISTORIC DRILLING RECOGNISED: Previous drill
programs returned significant near-surface gold assays
GEOLOGICAL SETTING: Quartz–siderite veins hosted in
chlorite–magnetite‐altered Proterozoic clastic rocks;
mineralisation extends along a structurally controlled
corridor.
EXPLORATION OPPORTUNITY: Prospect remains
open along strike and at depth; priority targets defined
for immediate follow-up. Planned RC + diamond
program to establish a maiden JORC Mineral Resource.
INFRASTRUCTURE & ECONOMICS: Toll‐treat via
Lorena CIL plant (<10 km haul) removes standalone
processing capex. Low site‐prep requirements—drill
pads and access already in place.

REGIONAL SCALE EXPLORATION UPSIDE
DISTRICT-WIDE TENURE & FRAMEWORK
~447 KM² LAND PACKAGE: Consolidated 20 MLs + 1 MDL + 7 EPMs
in the Cloncurry district supports a robust generative pipeline .
MINERAL / EXPLORATION STRATEGY – detailed plans
to explore and drill regional targets within close
proximity to the Lorena plant
HIGH-PRIORITY TARGET PORTFOLIO
LITTLE DUKE TREND: Soil geochem and IP-defined Cu-Au
anomalies over 4 km strike.
EVENING STAR CORRIDOR: Historic workings and geophysics
highlight discrete structurally controlled quartz veining.
MUSK PROSPECT: Copper-gold hydrothermal breccias identified
in recent drilling.
COUNTESS & VANDERBILT: Emerging gold targets along a
major NNE-striking fault splay .
NEXT STEPS
FIRST-PASS DRILLING: RC across four priority trends to follow up
on generated targets.
PATH TO RESOURCE DEFINITION: Immediate follow-up on any
significant intercepts, fast-track to Resource estimation and
maiden pit shells.

ADDITIONAL RESOURCE/RESERVE UPSIDE – MT FREDA
Mt Freda has an existing publicly-
reported JORC 2012 resource (indicated
and inferred).
Significant potential to expand existing
Mt Freda resource as it remains open in
along strike and at depth.
Proposed further drilling at Mt Freda to
improve confidence in the resource
estimate, and upgrade classification into
Measured and Indicated Resources and
subsequently to Reserves.
Golden Mile (Shamrock and Comstock
open pits) is the other area for immediate
resource definition and upgrade.

MKUJU, TANZANIA (URANIUM)
Situated in southern Tanzania, near the world class
Nyota deposit (152Mlbs U3O8), Mkuju is a 780sq km
portfolio of highly prospective uranium licences, held
100% by AKN’s Tanzanian subsidiary, 92U Tanzania
Ltd. Nyota was acquired by Uranium One in 2011 for
US$1Bn. A substantial drilling program for Mkuju has
been developed and approved, based on initial results
from AKN exploration including the following:

MYOFF CREEK, BRITISH COLUMBIA, CANADA –
(NIOBIUM/RARE EARTHS)
In July 2024, AuKing announced that it had completed the acquisition
of a 100% interest in the Myoff Creek project which comprises eight
mineral claims in south-eastern British Columbia. A recent airborne
magnetic and radiometric survey identified some highly encouraging
results as follows:
▪ CARBONATITE MINERALISATION CONFIRMED: Preliminary survey
results are consistent with previously interpreted and drilled near-
surface carbonatite mineralisation in the northern part of the project
area, which contained notable intercepts of niobium and total rare
earth oxides.
▪ HIGH GRADE HISTORICAL INTERCEPTS: Notable high-grade
intercepts from historical drilling of niobium (Nb) and total rare earth
oxides (TREO).
▪ POTENTIAL CARBONATITE EXTENSION: The survey has also
highlighted previously untested anomalous areas of carbonatite
mineralization in the central and southern areas of the Myoff Creek
tenures, providing potential extensions of carbonatite mineralization
and creating fresh exploration targets for follow-up.
▪ STRATEGIC LOCATION: The Myoff Creek claims are strategically
situated in the South-Central mining region of British Columbia,
known for its rich mineral deposits.
