REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
For the half-year ended 30 June 2025 the Consolidated Entity incurred a loss of $1,597,049 (30 June 2024: loss of
$2,537,113).
Orion Resources – Cloncurry Gold Project
In March 2025, the Company advised it had increased the proposed acquisition rights to secure a 50% shareholding
interest in Orion Resources Pty Ltd (“Orion”). Orion previously entered into an asset sale agreement (“ASA”) to acquire
the Cloncurry Gold Project licence package which spans approximately 447 km2 of granted mining and exploration
tenures in the Cloncurry region, centred on the historical Mt Freda and Golden Mile deposits and the nearby Lorena
processing facility. In addition to defined JORC-compliant resources, the district-scale landholding contains multiple
unexplored targets with strong potential for new discoveries along proven mineralized corridors. Sitting within a wellestablished mining province in north-western Queensland, the Project benefits from sealed road access, grid-connected
power and proximity (~ 15 km) to the 250-300k tpa Lorena gold/copper processing plant. Historical drilling and JORCcompliant resource estimates underpin a robust exploration and development pipeline targeting quartz-carbonatesulphide lodes.
On 19 May 2025, the Company announced an A$8M non-binding indicative project financing with US-based Nebari
Natural Resources Credit Fund II, LP (“Nebari”) for a credit facility that will make a significant contribution to complete the
acquisition of the Cloncurry Gold Project assets. One of the critical conditions to Nebari moving forward with the proposed
financing was the conduct of a legal and technical due diligence in relation to the Cloncurry Gold Project and planned
future development activities. On 3 September 2025 Nebari formally advised of its satisfaction in relation to that due
diligence exercise – thereby removing a substantial hurdle to AuKing and Orion securing the necessary funding to
complete the project acquisition. Preparation of formal legal documentation will now likely commence with a view to settle
the outstanding conditions precedent in advance of the intended financial close.
Tanzanian Projects
Mkuju Uranium
Based on results announced in early 2024, the Company established its planned 11,000m drilling program at Mkuju. The
conduct of this drilling program at Mkuju remains a priority for the Company as and when funding capacity permits.
On 5 February 2025, the Company announced the sale of two non-core Prospecting Licences in the Mkuju region to
Gage Capital for a total purchase price of $300,000, less tenement rental costs incurred by Gage Capital of $144,992.
The sale proceeds of $155,008 are expected to be received by the end of September 2025.

Interim Financial Report for the Half-Year Ended 30 June 2025
Manyoni Uranium
The Company announced on 16 October 2024 that it had reached an agreement with ASX-listed Moab Minerals Limited
(“MOM”) (and its Tanzanian subsidiary Katika Resources Limited (“Katika”)) to sell its remaining non-core Prospecting
Licences at Manyoni and to relinquish its rights to claim compensation as against MOM and Katika. The total purchase
price payable by MOM/Katika to the Company is $175,000. As at the date of this Report, the final Tanzanian statutory
approvals for this transaction remain pending.
Koongie Park
On 18 February 2025, the Company announced that it had entered into a joint venture earn-in agreement with ASX-listed
Cobalt Blue Holdings Limited (“COB”) in relation to the Koongie Park project. A summary of the key terms of the
agreement that has been reached with COB includes the following:
Stage 1
•
Subject to satisfaction of certain conditions precedent including deeds of assignment and assumption being
executed by relevant third parties, COB will acquire a 51% beneficial interest in the Project by issuing AuKing
with COB shares (at an issue price of $0.072 – set at the same level as the recent COB rights issue) which are
to be held in voluntary escrow by AuKing for a six month period;
•
To retain the 51% beneficial interest COB must meet a minimum expenditure of A$500k by 30 June 2027;
•
If COB does not meet this Stage 1 expenditure, AuKing can buy back a 2% interest (and return to a 51% interest)
by reimbursing COB 2% of the amount of expenditure incurred by COB on the Project.
Stage 2
•
COB will then have the right (but not the obligation) to earn up to a 75% interest (an additional 24%) in the Project
by incurring an additional A$1.5M expenditure on the tenements by 30 June 2028;
•
If COB does not meet this Stage 2 expenditure, AuKing can buy back a 2% interest (and return to a 51% interest)
by reimbursing COB 2% of the amount of expenditure incurred by COB on the Project; and
Should AuKing’s future JV interest dilute below 10% the interest shall revert to a 1% Net Smelter Royalty (‘NSR’).
COB has made excellent progress with its project activities since commencement of the joint venture occurred, with
details of a new Scoping Study released in early June 2025 and plans for significant additional drilling and study work
identified as being necessary in the Scoping Study.
Canada – Myoff Creek Acquisition
No work was conducted on this project during the first six months of 2025, although the Company has engaged a local
service provider to carry out an airborne radiometric and aeromagnetic survey across the entire Myoff Creek tenure
holding. This activity will be conducted as soon as the service provider can do so. The results of the airborne survey
across the Myoff Creek tenure holding will be made available as soon as possible after completion of the program.
Canada – Grand Codroy Acquisition
No exploration fieldwork was conducted on this project during the first six months of 2025.
Saudi Arabia
On 21 August 2025 Resource Mining Corporation Limited (ASX:RMI) announced that it had exercised its option to acquire
all of the Company’s interests in this Saudi JV, with all final arrangements expected to be settled shortly.

AuKing Mining Limited (the “Company”) is a company domiciled in Australia. The consolidated interim financial report of
the Company as at and for the six months ended 30 June 2025 comprises the Company and its controlled entities (together
referred to as the “Consolidated Entity”).
(b)
Statement of Compliance
The consolidated interim financial report is a general purpose financial report which has been prepared in accordance with
AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Act 2001. The Company is a for-profit entity for the purpose
of preparing the interim financial report. The consolidated interim financial report does not include all of the information

of the Consolidated Entity as at and for the year ended 31 December 2024 and any public announcements made by the
Company during the interim reporting period in accordance with the continuous disclosure requirements of the Corporations

Accounting Policies
Except for the Borrowings accounting policy detailed in Note 5, the accounting policies and methods of computation applied

(d)
New Standards and Interpretations Not Yet Adopted
Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for 30 June 2025
reporting period. The Consolidated Entity has decided against early adoption of these standards. The Consolidated Entity
has assessed the impact of these new standards that are not yet effective and determined that they are not expected to
have a material impact on the Consolidated Entity in the current or future reporting periods and on foreseeable future
transactions.

tenement areas. Currently the exploration expenditure obligations for the 12 months ending 30 June 2026 to maintain its
current tenement areas are $3,976,016. In February 2025, AKN entered into an earn in agreement with Cobalt Blue
Holdings Limited for the Koongie Park project. Under this agreement, AKN expects Cobalt Blue Holdings Limited will sole
fund exploration expenditure obligations for the Koongie Park tenement areas for the coming 12 months. AKN has also
entered into sale agreements for various tenement in Tanzania. Following settlement of these sales, the future Tanzanian
exploration expenditure obligations will be significantly reduced.
As at the date of this report the Consolidated Entity has an immediate need to raise funds to continue as a going concern
and subsequent to half-year end has undertaken a number of activities to obtain the funds necessary to continue as a
going concern, as shown below:
•
Subsequent to half-year end the Consolidated Entity raised an additional $1,177,305 (before costs) through a twostage share placement.
•
In early September 2025, the Company was advised that the sale of two non-core Prospecting Licences in the
Mkuju region to Gage Capital has been approved by the Tanzanian authorities. The sale proceeds of $155,008 are
expected to be received by the end of September 2025.
•
On 8 September 2025, the Company entered into a $5,000,000 loan facility with RiverFort Global Capital Ltd, of
which $500,000 is immediately available for drawdown. The remaining facility will be available in two tranches.
The second tranche of $2,500,000 will be available to fund the Orion project and the third tranche of $2,000,000 at
a later time to further fund development of the Orion project. The second and third tranches are subject to mutual
agreement between RiverFort Global Capital Ltd and the Company. Each tranche has a 12-month term with

Interim Financial Report for the Half-Year Ended 30 June 2025
NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
•
On 10 September 2025 the GAM Company Loan was repaid in full.
•
The Consolidated Entity has received commitments from various creditors, including directors, that amounts owing
will either not be called upon until such time that the company has sufficient funds to pay or for extensions to
payment terms.
•
The Consolidated Entity has received a confirmation from Director Peter Tighe that the loan that was due to expire
and be repaid on 31 March 2025 will not be called upon for 12 months or until such earlier time that the Company
has sufficient funds to repay the loan.
•
The Consolidated Entity has entered into a $175,000 sale agreement for the sale of its Mayoni licenses in Tanzania
to Moab Minerals Limited, subject to regulatory approvals. As at the date of this Report, the final statutory approvals
for this transaction are in the process of being obtained.
The Consolidated Entity requires further capital to:
•
Repay $778,125 of loan and associated accrued interest from Director Peter Tighe;
•
Settle other current outstanding liabilities; and
•
Fund future project activity and meet other necessary corporate expenditure. It is the intention of the Consolidated
Entity to carry out near-term activities at the Orion and Canadian projects if sufficient funding is available.
The ability of the Consolidated Entity to continue as a going concern is dependent upon securing funding in the form of a
capital raise within the next two months. A capital raising is planned to be completed by late October / early November
2025 to ensure the Consolidated Entity is in a position to continue planned exploration and meet the Consolidated Entity’s
working capital requirements.
The Consolidated Entity’s ability to continue as a going concern is also dependent upon one or more of the following:
•
the ability of the Company to raise sufficient additional capital in the future;
•
The ability of the Consolidated Entity to complete the sale of its Manyoni and Mkuju licenses in Tanzania;
•
the successful exploration and subsequent exploitation of the Consolidated Entity’s tenements.
These conditions give rise to material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt over the Consolidated Entity’s ability to
continue as a going concern.
Whilst acknowledging these uncertainties, the directors have concluded that the Company is currently solvent and that the
going concern basis of preparation is appropriate due to the following reasons:
•
The Company is due to receive $155,008 from the sale of the Mkuju tenements, with funds expected by the end of
September 2025;
•
On 10 September 2025, the first tranche of loan facility with RiverFort Global Capital Ltd ($500,000) was drawdown.
•
The Company holds 2,777,778 of Cobalt Blue Holding shares which are no longer subject to escrow, which the
Company can sell to raise additional funds;
•
To date the Consolidated Entity has funded its activities through issuance of equity securities, and it is e
