REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
For the half-year ended 30 June 2024 the Consolidated Entity made a loss of $2,537,113 (30 June 2023: loss of
$10,696,693).
Tanzanian Projects
Mkuju Uranium
In January, the Company reported significant assay results from the combined soil and rock chip sampling and auger
drilling program conducted late last year including:
•
MKAU23_020 (auger) 3m @ 1,273ppm U3O8 incl 1m @ 3,350ppm U3O8
•
MKGS017 (soil) 8,800ppm U3O8
•
MKGS057 (rock) 2,250ppm U3O8
During the March Quarter, AKN announced details of its proposed Stage 2 drilling program at Mkuju, comprising an
estimated 75 drill hole (11,000m) air core/RC drilling program. Since that time, the Company has obtained the necessary
“local content” regulatory approvals from the Tanzanian Mining Commission after the conduct of a tender process for the
drilling program.
Manyoni Uranium
AKN announced on 27 February 2023 that two (2) key Prospecting Licences (“PLs”) at the Manyoni uranium project in
central Tanzania, had been revoked by the Tanzanian Mining Commission. A significant portion of the historical Manyoni
uranium resource estimate is contained within the two PLs that were the subject of revocation.
Since that time AKN management has taken various actions including several meetings with Tanzanian officials in an
effort to re-secure the two revoked PLs. This included a recent high-level meeting in Dodoma attended by senior Ministry
officials as well as the Company’s Chairman and Managing Director in late June 2024. To date, there has been no
response received by the Company to these efforts to seek a resolution to the matter.
Koongie Park
Sandiego North Drilling
During the June Quarter, the Company announced details of a proposed initial 1,000m reverse circulation (RC) drilling
program across an estimated 6-8 drill holes to test the potential extent of copper mineralization along a 700m target zone
to the north of the existing Sandiego deposit. During the course of 2023, the Company completed a soil sampling program
over the Sandiego North area to follow up on mineralisation identified in and around the drill hole ASWB001. The purpose
of the soil program was to identify any geochemical continuity between Sandiego and Sandiego North. This drilling

AuKing Mining Limited
Interim Financial Report for the Half-Year Ended 30 June 2024
NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a)
Reporting Entity
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 2024 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
required for a full annual financial report, and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated annual financial report
of the Consolidated Entity as at and for the year ended 31 December 2023 and any public announcements made by the
Company during the interim reporting period in accordance with the continuous disclosure requirements of the Corporations
Act 2001.
New and revised standards have been issued by the AASB and are effective for the half-year; however there are no
material changes to the policies that affect the recognition or measurement of the results or financial position of the
Consolidated Entity.
(c)
Accounting Policies
Except for the Borrowings accounting policy detailed in Note 5, the accounting policies and methods of computation applied
by the Consolidated Entity in the consolidated interim financial report are the same as those applied by the Consolidated
Entity in its consolidated financial report as at and for the year ended 31 December 2023.
(d)
New Standards and Interpretations Not Yet Adopted
Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for 30 June 2024
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.
(e)
Going Concern
As at 30 June 2024 the Consolidated Entity had cash reserves of $112,736 and net current liabilities of $935,337, inclusive
of a $750,000 loan from Evolution capital (assigned post period-end to Director Peter Tighe). For the half year ended 30
June 2024 the Consolidated Entity incurred a loss of $2,537,113, including $330,013 of exploration expenditure that was
expensed under the Consolidated Entity’s accounting policy disclosed in Note 4, and $922,890 of impairment charges
related to the non-core Koongie Park tenements.
The Consolidated Entity also incurred operating cash outflows of $1,362,554 (including $330,813 of exploration
expenditure that was expensed under the Consolidated Entity’s accounting policy disclosed in Note 7) and had investing
cash outflows of $175,710. As disclosed in Note 10 the Consolidated Entity also has obligations to expend minimum
amounts on exploration in tenement areas. Currently the exploration expenditure obligations for the 12 months ending 30
June 2025to maintain its current tenement areas are $1,562,140.
Subsequent to year end the Consolidated Entity raised an additional $150,000 through a share placement that was
managed by Empire Capital Partners Pty Ltd and $120,000 through a share placement that was managed by Peak Asset
Management Pty Ltd.
The Consolidated Entity is also working towards entering into a $175,000 sale agreement for the sale of its Manyoni
licenses in Tanzania.
The Consolidated Entity lodged a prospectus on 12 September 2024 in respect of the proposed raising of an additional
approximately $1.484M from existing shareholders. In the event of a likely shortfall on subscriptions from eligible
shareholders, the Co-Lead Managers to the rights issue (Empire Capital Partners and Peak Asset Management) have
committed (on a best endeavours basis) to assist the Consolidated Entity to secure the shortfall moneys. Both Empire
Capital Partners and Peak Asset Management have already participated in recent placements undertaken by the
Consolidated Entity.
Page 12 of 27
AuKing Mining Limited
Interim Financial Report for the Half-Year Ended 30 June 2024
NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
The Consolidated Entity requires further capital to:
•
fund future exploration activity and meet other necessary corporate expenditure. It is the intention of the
Consolidated Entity to carry out near-term exploration activities at its existing Mkuju, Myoff Creek and, if sufficient
funding is available, the Sandiego North projects.
•
repay the $750,000 loan from Director Peter Tighe by 30 November 2024
The ability of the Consolidated Entity to continue as a going concern is dependent upon securing funding in the form of a
capital raise (by way of the rights issue), within the next month. A further capital raising is planned for late November 2024
to ensure the Consolidated Entity is in a position to retire the short-term loan facility owing to Mr Tighe, in the event that
an agreement to extend that loan cannot be achieved, despite the best efforts by the parties to do so. This is in addition to
amounts already raised subsequent to balance date. These funds are required to continue planned exploration and meet
the Consolidated Entity’s working capital requirements.
In addition to planned capital raising activities, the Consolidated Entity is taking steps to reduce its expenditures moving
forward.
The Consolidated Entity’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon one or more of the following:
•
the ability of the Company to raise additional capital in the future;
•
the ability of the Consolidated Entity to obtain short term funding within the next month (under the rights issue) to
meet immediate funding requirements; and
•
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 Consolidated entity will continue to monitor its available funding and may seek to extend the expiry of the loan
with Mr Tighe if necessary;
•
The Consolidated Entity has respective mandate agreements in place with both Empire Capital Partners and Peak
Asset Management to assist with any shortfall under the rights issue;
•
To date the Consolidated Entity has funded its activities through issuance of equity securities, and it is expected
that the Consolidated Entity will be able to fund its future activities through further issuances of equity securities;
and
•
The implementation of a cost reduction program.
The directors believe there will be sufficient cash available for the Consolidated Entity to continue operating based on the
Company’s cash flow forecast.
Should the Consolidated Entity be unable to continue as a going concern, it may be required to realise its assets and
extinguish its liabilities other than in the ordinary course of business, and at amounts that differ from those stated in the
financial statements. This financial report does not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification
of recorded asset amounts or the amounts or classification of liabilities and appropriate disclosures that may be necessary
should the Consolidated Entity be unable to continue as a going concern.
