AuKing to Acquire Machinga Heavy Rare Earths Project, Malawi
Highlights
• AuKing to acquire 100% of the Machinga Heavy Rare Earths Project in south-eastern Malawi,
located 40km east of Lindian Resources’ Kangankunde Project, comprising 200.4km² across two
exploration licences in an emerging rare earths district.
• Exceptional heavy rare earth enrichment - Machinga hosts an average HREO content of
approximately 28–30%, comparable to or exceeding many ionic clay deposits, while delivering hard-
rock grades of approximately 0.6–1.4% TREO—more than 10 times higher than the typical ~0.05–
0.08% TREO grades mined from ionic clay deposits.
• Historical drilling returned multiple high-grade rare earth intercepts, including1
:
• MDD007 — 15.1m @ 1.01% TREO, 0.36% Nb2O5, 27.70% HREO from 23.9m (3.71% Dy+Tb/TREO)
Including — 4m @ 1.75% TREO, 0.63% Nb2O5, 28.25% HREO from 33m (3.8% Dy+Tb/TREO)
• MDD008 — 9m @ 1.11% TREO, 0.41% Nb2O5, 27.58% HREO from 41m (3.72% Dy+Tb/TREO)
Including — 3m @ 1.56% TREO, 0.49% Nb2O5, 30.98% HREO from 45m (4.1% Dy+Tb/TREO)
• MDD006 — 9m @ 0.70% TREO, 0.30% Nb2O5, 28.53% HREO from 3m (3.84% Dy+Tb/TREO)
And — 5.2m @ 1.61% TREO, 0.66% Nb2O5, 30.66% HREO from 41.4m (3.99% Dy+Tb/TREO)
• MR011 — 7m @ 1.42% TREO, 0.49% Nb2O5, 28.99% HREO from 65m (3.8% Dy+Tb/TREO)
• MR024 — 11m @ 0.74% TREO, 0.29% Nb2O5, 27.73% HREO from surface (3.8% Dy+Tb/TREO)
Including — 2m @ 1.36% TREO, 0.49% Nb2O5, 29.04% HREO from 6m (4% Dy+Tb/TREO)
• MR005 — 16m @ 1.01% TREO, 0.36% Nb2O5, 28.22% HREO from 78m (3.6% Dy+Tb/TREO)
• MR019 — 13m @ 0.65% TREO, 0.25% Nb2O5, 25.21% HREO from surface (3.63% Dy+Tb/TREO)
• Machinga is hosted in an analagous peralkaline igneous system as Bokan-Dotson Ridge (Alaska), a
globally significant heavy rare earth deposit. While the Bokan-Dotson Ridge deposit (5.15Mt @
0.58% TREO, ~22% TREO/HREO2
) is proposed to be mined underground, Machinga's mineralisation
is exposed from surface and demonstrates strong potential for lower-cost open-pit mining. The
opportunity to recover niobium as a valuable by-product, further enhances Machinga’s
strategic importance and rarity.
• Compelling valuation benchmark – Ucore Rare Metals, owner of the Bokan-Dotson Ridge heavy rare
earth project and listed on the TSX-V (UCU.V), currently has a market capitalisation of approximately
A$320 million. By comparison, AuKing currently trades at a substantially lower valuation, providing
scope for meaningful valuation uplift as Machinga advances through exploration, resource
definition and development studies.3

• With historical near-surface mineralisation, strong heavy rare earth enrichment and numerous
untested targets, Machinga presents a compelling opportunity for a large-scale, shallow mining
development in Malawi, a proven and cost-competitive mining jurisdiction.
• AuKing is fully-funded to bring exploration immediately to Machinga, while also advancing its
Tundulu rare earths project in the same region of southern Malawi.
AuKing Mining Limited (ASX: AKN) (“AuKing” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce that it has
agreed to acquire a 100% interest in the Machinga Heavy Rare Earth Elements (HREE) Project in southern
Malawi (Proposed Acquisition). The acquisition of Machinga provides AuKing with an additional high-quality
rare earth project in Malawi at a time when heavy rare earths, particularly dysprosium and terbium, are
attracting increasing strategic interest in the United States and globally amid efforts to strengthen resilient,
diversified supply chains for critical minerals.
Machinga Project Overview
The Machinga HREE Project comprises two exploration licences (EL 0529 and EL 0705) covering
approximately 200.4km² in southern Malawi. The project is located approximately 20km north of the city of
Zomba and is readily accessible via the main north-south highway connecting Zomba and Lilongwe.
Machinga is situated within the Mesozoic Chilwa Alkaline Province, a well-recognised rare earth mineral
province that hosts several significant rare earth projects, including Lindian Resources' Kangankunde
Project and Mkango Minerals’ Songwe Hill Project. The project area is positioned along the north-eastern
margin of the Zomba-Malosa intrusive complex, where alkaline intrusive rocks have generated favourable
geological conditions for rare earth element mineralisation.
The Chilwa Alkaline Province comprises a series of alkaline intrusive complexes, including nepheline
syenites, syenites and alkaline granites, which occur in ring-shaped intrusive bodies typically ranging from
approximately 5km to 10km in diameter. These geological settings are recognised globally as favourable
hosts for rare earth element mineralisation.
The Machinga Project is located along the north-eastern edge of the Zomba-Malosa pluton, which intruded
the Precambrian basement gneiss. The intrusive complex comprises a range of syenitic lithologies,
AuKing’s Managing Director Paul Williams said: “The proposed acquisition of the Machinga Heavy
Rare Earths Project represents another important step in AuKing’s strategy to build a portfolio of
high-quality critical minerals projects in Malawi.
"Historical exploration, together with the more recent work undertaken by DY6 Metals/Tusker
Minerals, has confirmed Machinga as a highly prospective heavy rare earth and niobium project. With
near-surface HREO% results from that 2023 drilling reported in the order of 30% and bearing the
similar peralkaline geology, Machinga has the potential to become comparable to the large Strange
Lake and Bokan Mountain REE deposits in North America. Covering more than 200km2
, Machinga has
potential to become a district-scale rare earths project and is easily accessible by road just north of
the city of Zomba in southern Malawi. AuKing intends to commence exploration activities immediately
following completion of the acquisition.”

including quartz syenite grading into alkaline granite along its eastern margin.
Mineralisation at Machinga has beendefined over astrike length of 2 km and comprises niobium,tantalum,
zirconium, uranium and rare earth element (REE) anomalies. REE mineralisation is hosted within
eudialyte, a zirconosilicate mineral characteristically associated with peralkaline magmatic complexes
such as those within the Zomba-Malosa pluton and the surrounding Chilwa Alkaline Province. Eudialyte is
commonly enriched in zirconium and hafnium and is also recognised as an important source of neodymium
and heavy rare earth elements (gadolinium to lutetium). This peralkaline geological setting is very similar to
the well-known HREE deposits in North America Strange Lake (in northern Quebec) and Bokan Mountain (in
south-eastern Alaska).

Exploration History
Throughout the 1950s to 1970s, a series of geophysical, geochemical and (to a lesser extent) drilling
campaigns were undertaken by groups from the Geological Survey of Great Britain and other government
organisations in the pre-independenceera.The work focused on three outcropping pegmatites located near
radiometric anomalies found in the basement gneisses. The anomalies detected through the early
geophysical surveys were noted to underly fine-grained epidotised rocks, their pegmatite equivalents, and
an alkaline granite ring dyke. The early drillholes were analysed by geologists on behalf of the Atomic Energy
Division of the Geological Society of Britain and were found to intersect radioactive granites and pegmatite
veins. Much of the data and records from the early surveys of the project area are unavailable.
In 1986, the United Nations Development Program sponsored an airborne magnetic and radiometric survey
undertaken by Huntington Geology and Geophysics Limited. Interpretation was completed by Paterson,
Grant & Watson Limited in 1987. The survey identified numerous uranium anomalies across the Zomba
region, and (as can be seen in Figure 2 below) identifies anomalies in the Machinga area which have formed
the basis of exploration activities since that time.
Figure 2 – Historical uranium anomaly map covering the Machinga Project licence areas (Source: CSA Global Independent Technical
Assessment Report p34, included in DY6 Metals dated 3 April 2023.)
A summary of the more recent exploration activities conducted at Machinga (and generally, focussed on the
northern section of the Main Machinga Anomaly) includes the following:
• In 2009 Resource Star Limited (RSL) completed an orientation soil sampling program over the Machinga
Main Anomaly, 149 samples were collected.
• Globe Metals and Mining Ltd (ASX: GBE) undertook a trenching program 1,635m in total length which
yielded 281 samples.
• GBE also completed two RC drilling programs in 2010-12 comprising 36 RC holes for 4,045 metres. (See
Appendix D)
• DY6/Tusker undertook a combined RC and diamond drilling program in late 2023. A total of 35 RC holes
Page 5 of 40
AuKingMining Limited P 07 3535 1208 W www.aukingmining.com
(MR001 – 035) were drilled for 3,543 metres and 8 diamond drill holes (MDD001 – 008) were completed
for 900 metres. (See Appendix C)
• DY6/Tusker have also completed several programs of rock chip and soil sampling which continue to
highlight areas of interest. (See Appendices E and F)
The recent exploration activities of DY6/Tusker will form the basis of AuKing’s exploration planning if the
Machinga acquisition proceeds and accordingly, the highlights from TSK’s activities are as follows:
2023 RC/Diamond Drilling
The initial focus of DY6 with this maiden drilling program was to test the known strike of the confirmed
historic drill results in the northern anomalous zone at Machinga. Results from the program confirmed a
strong mineralised hydrothermal breccia system striking NW-SE and dipping shallowly ~ 35 degrees to the
north-east. Very high-grade zones were intersected from the diamond drill holes, as well as the suggestion
of the mineralised zones thickening at depth and continuous into the other licence area to the north-east of
the drilling. Significant intercepts (see ASX announcement dated 29 December 2023) included:
• MDD007 — 15.1m @ 1.01% TREO, 0.36% Nb2O5, 27.70% HREO from 23.9m (3.71% Dy+Tb/TREO)
Including — 4m @ 1.75% TREO, 0.63% Nb2O5, 28.25% HREO from 33m (3.8% Dy+Tb/TREO)
• MDD006 — 9m @ 0.70% TREO, 0.30% Nb2O5, 28.53% HREO from 3m (3.84% Dy+Tb/TREO)
Including — 2m @ 1.20% TREO, 0.58% Nb2O5, 23.24% HREO from 6m (3.64% Dy+Tb/TREO)
Also — 5.2m @ 1.61% TREO, 0.66% Nb2O5, 30.66% HREO from 41.4m (3.99% Dy+Tb/TREO)
Including — 1m @ 2.67% TREO, 1.01% Nb2O5, 29.21% HREO from 44m (3.9% Dy+Tb/TREO)
• MR004 — 6.1m @ 1.09% TREO, 0.4% Nb2O5 from 22.5m (3.78% Dy+Tb/TREO)
• MDD008 — 9m @ 1.11% TREO, 0.41% Nb2O5, 27.58% HREO from 41m (3.72% Dy+Tb/TREO)
Including — 3m @ 1.56% TREO, 0.49% Nb2O5, 30.98% HREO from 45m (4.1% Dy+Tb/TREO)
(Results returned an average of 29% HREO:TREO and 3.6% DyTb:TREO at a cutoff grade of >0.25% TREO)

The diamond drilling program consisted of five holes drilled to depths of ~150m and three holes drilled to
depths of 50m. The program was designed to determine the structural setting and geology of the Machinga
deposit, obtain material for mineralogical investigations and commence preliminary metallurgical test
work. Mineralogical analysis of the 15.1m intersection in drill hole MDD007 identified a high proportion of
heavy rare earth oxides (HREO) at 27.7% HREO/TREO and 3.7% Dy+Tb/TREO, together with 15.2% NdPr
oxide.

2024/25 Rock Chip and Soil Sampling
In early 2024 DY6 conducted a comprehensive geochemical sampling program over the Machinga licences,
initially targeting the western side of the maiden drilling areas in EL0529 before moving to the anomalous
soil responses in the southern region of the main Machinga prospect in EL0705. Significant rock chip
samples assay results included:
• 2.26% TREO, 0.19% Nb2O5 (MEX061)
• 1.60% TREO, 0.60% Nb2O5 (MEX098)
• 3.22% TREO, 0.75% Nb2O5 (MEX141)
• 1.00% TREO, 0.11% Nb2O5 (MEX270)
Page 7 of 40
AuKingMining Limited P 07 3535 1208 W www.aukingmining.com
• 1.16% TREO, 0.41% Nb2O5 (MEX510)
Figure 5 – Historical soil and rock chip TREO (%) results across the Machinga Project, showing historical uranium radiometric anomalies
and DY6 drill hole locations.
DY6 reported that the results indicate multiple parallel zones consistent with the drilling results (Figure 5).
The area of drilling and to the southeast tend to show patchy results due to extensive soil cover derived from
up slope to the west, but clearly anomalism is not being dispersed. The two western anomalies where
sample density is higher show a much more continuous character of greater TREO results, highlighting the
scale potential of REE mineralisation in this area of the licence. This zone was only partially tested by the
first phase of drilling as no drilling was completed west of the main road.
Previous drilling primarily focused on the north-east region of Machinga main northern anomaly near the
licence border and where GBE initially explored. These rock chip results indicated significant potential
exists for further drilling to the west and south of the initial focus of drilling activity within the large 2.7km
long soil NW to SE oriented geochemical anomaly (Figure 5).
On 19 December 2025, TSK announced the results of a follow-up soil and rock chip sampling program
designed to test the continuity of mineralisation southeast of the previous drilling and soil/rock chip
Page 8 of 40
AuKingMining Limited P 07 3535 1208 W www.aukingmining.com
sampling programs. A total of 116 samples, comprising 77 rock chips samples and 39 soil samples
collected on a 400m by 200m grid spacing, returned strong gallium results together with encouraging REE
and niobium values, supporting further exploration across this area.
Next Steps
Applying modern exploration techniques, AuKing intends to commence exploration activities as soon as
soon as practicable following completion of the acquisition. Initial work will focus on integrating the
extensive historical drilling, geochemical and radiometric datasets with modern airborne (drone-based)
magnetic and LiDAR surveys to refine the structural controls on mineralisation and identify priority drill
targets across the project.
The initial exploration program is expected to focus on extending known mineralisation along strike and at
depth, together with testing several large radiometric anomalies that remain largely unexplored. Particular
emphasis will be placed on evaluating the western and southern extensions to the historically drilled
Machinga North Prospect, where historical drilling and recent rock chip and soil sampling have highlighted
significant exploration potential.
Transaction Structure
The Proposed Acquisition comprises the following staged consideration:
ExclusivityPayment
A non-refundable A$5,000 cash payment (already paid) to secure a 40-day exclusivity period, during which:
a) AuKing has completed satisfactory legal and technical due diligence;

Cautionary Statement Regarding Historical Exploration Results
The historical exploration referred to in this release was prepared and reported in accordance with the JORC
Code 2012. A Competent Person completed sufficient work to disclose the exploration results in
accordance with the JORC Code 2012.
It is possible that, following further evaluation and/or exploration work, confidence in the historical results
may be reduced.
Nothing has come to the attention of AuKing that causes it to question the accuracy or reliability of the
former owners’ exploration results. However, AuKing has not independently validated those exploration
results and therefore does not adopt, endorse or report them as JORC 2012 compliant.
Note – Proximate Statements
This announcement contains references to REE Projects derived by other parties either nearby or proximate
to or in similar geological settings to the Machinga Project. It is important to note that such discoveries or
geological similarities do not in any way guarantee that the Company will have any success or similar
successes in delineating a JORC compliant Mineral Resource on the Machinga Project, if at all.
AuKing’sDiversified Exploration Portfolio
The proposed Machinga acquisition is consistent with AuKing’s strategy of building a portfolio of high-
quality exploration projects focused on critical and other commodities. Upon completion of the acquisition,
the Company’s portfolio will include:
• Tundulu Rare Earths Project, southern Malawi;
• Koongie Park Copper-Zinc-Silver Project, Western Australia (49% joint venture with Cobalt Blue
Holdings Ltd);
• Mkuju Uranium Project, southern Tanzania; and
• Big Wilson Tin-Tungsten Project, north-western Tasmania.
AuKing intends to continue advancing exploration activities across its portfolio, with an immediate focus on

Sampling
techniques
• Nature and quality of sampling (e.g. cut channels,
random chips, or specific specialised industry
standard measurement tools appropriate to the
minerals under investigation, such as down hole
gamma sondes, or handheld XRF instruments,
etc). These examples should not be taken as
limiting the broad meaning of sampling.
• Include reference to measures taken to ensure
sample representivity and the appropriate
calibration of any measurement tools or systems
used.
• Aspects of the determination of mineralisation
that are Material to the Public Report. In cases
where ‘industry standard’ work has been done
this would be relatively simple (e.g. ‘reverse
circulation drilling was used to obtain 0.5 m
samples from which 3 kg was pulverised to
produce a 30 g charge for fire assay’). In other
cases, more explanation may be required, such
as where there is coarse gold that has inherent
sampling problems. Unusual commodities or
mineralisation types (e.g. submarine nodules)
may warrant disclosure of detailed information.
• Previous ASX releases by Retail Star Limited
(RSL, ASX: RSL), Globe Metals and Mining
(Globe, ASX: GBE) and Tusker Minerals (Tusker,
ASX: TSK) document the existence of a number
of earlier sampling and drilling programmes.
• Tusker report that the Globe ground
radiometric surveys were conducted using a
handheld ThermoScientific Radeye brand
scintillometer integrated with a GPS (GARMIN
GPSMAP78s). Soil sampling w
