ASX RELEASE
Final survey results confirm potential extensions of carbonatite mineralisation at Myoff Creek Niobium/Rare Earths Project, British Columbia
HIGHLIGHTS
-
Airborne survey : A helicopter-borne high resolution aeromagnetic and radiometric survey covering 70-line kms was recently flown across the Myoff Creek tenure area. Preliminary survey results were announced to ASX on 23 September 2025. Final survey data has now been received and assessed by AuKing.
-
Carbonatite mineralization confirmed : Final survey results are consistent with previously interpreted and drilled near-surface carbonatite mineralization in the northern area of the project area which contained notable intercepts of niobium and total rare earth oxides. ( See ASX release by AuKing dated 22 July 2024).
-
Potential carbonatite extension: The survey has also highlighted previously untested anomalous areas of additional carbonatite mineralization in the central and southern areas of the Myoff Creek project area, providing potential extensions of carbonatite mineralisation and creating fresh exploration targets for follow-up.
-
Cloncurry Gold Project acquisition progressing: As per AuKing’s 18 September 2025 ASX announcement, the Company has entered into a binding agreement to acquire 100% of Orion Resources. This transaction will deliver full ownership of the Cloncurry Gold Project, removing previous joint venture complexity.
AuKing’s Managing Director, Mr Paul Williams, said “ The strong levels of market interest in the exploration and development of rare earth elements (REEs) in North America provide a solid backdrop for the Company releasing final survey results from the recently-completed aeromagnetic and radiometric survey at Myoff Creek in south-eastern British Columbia. The survey results are consistent with historical drilling that outlined a 1.4km by 0.4km nearsurface Nb-REE bearing carbonatite zone, while also highlighting the potential for significant extensions of mineralisation across the broader tenure. AuKing will now assess the extent of future exploration activities based on these potentially exciting results”.

Myoff Creek Project
Strategically located in south-eastern British Columbia, Canada, the Myoff Creek project is situated in the South Central Mining Region, well known for mineral extraction and processing. This region is host to some major mining operations including; Teck Resources Limited’s Highland Valley Copper Mine, and Hudbay Minerals Inc’s Copper Mountain Mine.
The nearest township of Seymour Arm, which is accessible by road from the claims, has accommodation and logistical support. Kamloops (population 108,000), the major commercial centre for the region, has numerous resources such as equipment and professional services for mining and exploration activities.

Airborne Survey Results
On 23 September 2025, AuKing announced preliminary survey results at Myoff Creek derived from the conduct of a helicopter-borne high resolution aeromagnetic and radiometric survey. Precision GeoSurveys Inc. provided these survey services.
The survey comprised 70-line kms flown in a systematic low-level grid pattern across the entire Myoff Creek tenure area. With that survey having been completed, AuKing has now received the final results that are set out below.

The presence of uranium and thorium is often associated with carbonatite-hosted rare earth mineralization. Figure 2 on the left below illustrates the surveyed uranium-equivalent mineralisation across the Myoff Creek project area and the location of historic drilling holes where the Nb-REE mineralisation was detected (See AuKing release to ASX on 24 July 2024). It should be noted that the drill holes appear to be situated on a contact zone where the previously-interpreted carbonatite mineralisation had been identified. Figure 3 on the right below, illustrates the surveyed thorium-equivalent mineralisation across the Myoff Creek project area. There are surveyed areas of anomalous uranium and thorium that have not been previously identified in historical exploration and provide significant potential for extensions of the historically-interpreted carbonatite mineralisation to the north.

Next steps
The high-resolution airborne radiometric survey has provided critical data for identifying and prioritising drill targets across the Myoff project area, with a specific focus on features associated with rare earth mineralisation.
By analyzing the patterns and ratios from the radiometric survey, AuKing can begin to delineate the geometry and strike extension of the key rare earth-hosted carbonatite unit. This integrated approach allows AuKing to focus its initial proposed drill program with

maximum precision, testing the strongest radiometric anomalies that represent the highest potential for significant rare earth discovery and expansion of the known mineralisation.
Cautionary note re historical exploration results
In relation to the historical exploration results mentioned in this release, AuKing notes the following:
-
Historical results have not been reported in accordance with the JORC Code 2012;
-
A Competent Person has not done 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 that the confidence in the prior reported exploration results may be reduced when reported under the JORC Code 2012;
-
Nothing has come to the attention of AuKing that causes it to question the accuracy or reliability of the former owners’ exploration results; and
-
AuKing has not independently validated the former owners’ exploration results and therefore is not to be regarded as reporting, adopting or endorsing those results.

| Geology | • Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation. |
• Myoff Creek lies within the Proterozoic (Aphebian) age metamorphic carbonatite belt of the Shuswap Metamorphic Complex, a belt of high-grade and intensely deformed metamorphic and intrusive rocks in the core of the Columbian Orogen in south-eastern British Columbia. This is a known area for Nb-REE-P-Ti bearing carbonatites. The Shuswap Complex, along its eastern margin, is characterized by a series of fault-bounded domal culminations that expose mixed paragneiss, granitic gneiss and migmatite of Paleoproterozoic age. • There are two types of carbonatite recognized in the area. Type I, the intrusive phase (the REN carbonatite) and Type II, the extrusive phase (the Mount Grace carbonatite – MGC). These carbonatites are generally rich in rare earths and other critical minerals with low impurities, while remaining close to the surface. Myoff Creek is a Nephelinitic and ultramafic carbonatite- hosted deposit type up to 200m thick. This is similar to the Aley and Wicheeda carbonatites – both situated in northern British Columbia. |
