ASX Release 26 April 2017 March 2017 Quarterly Activities Report
The activities of CYU during the three months to 31 March 2017 were as follows:
Sale of Mount Isa Tenements
On 15 December 2016 CYU announced that it had entered into an agreement with Hammer Metals Ltd (ASX Code - HMX) relating to that company’s acquisition of all of CYU’s existing mining tenement holdings in the Mount Isa region.
These tenement holdings comprise CYU’s 100% interest in EPMs 12205, 14019 and 14022, together with a 51% joint venture interest in EPM 14467 (under the Mt Frosty Joint Venture with Mount Isa Mines Ltd – a Glencore Group company). All mining information, data, core samples and other materials relating to these mining tenements are also be sold to HMX.
The first stage of HMX sale was completed on 27 March 2017. Under this first stage completion, CYU transferred its interests in EPMs 12205, 14019 and 14022 and received 1,250,000 ordinary shares in HMX. Those shares are held by CYU in a voluntary escrow commitment until November 2017.
Completion of the second (and final) stage of the HMX sale is expected to occur shortly after consent is secured from Mount Isa Mines in respect of the proposed transfer of the 51% interest in EPM 14467 and there is agreement to certain changes requested by HMX to the existing Mt Frosty Joint Venture agreement. CYU will receive a further 250,000 HMX shares which will be held in voluntary escrow on the same conditions as the first stage of shares, until November 2017.
Mount Isa Exploration Activities
During the Quarter, CYU management was focussed almost entirely on the assessment of other copper and gold project opportunities and the proposed sale of its Mount Isa tenements to HMX. As a consequence, no exploration activities were conducted for the three months to 31 March 2017. The Mount Isa office premises of CYU were also closed in February 2017.
Exploration Expenditure for March 2017 Quarter
Across CYU’s various exploration projects, a total of $5,800 of expenditure was incurred for the March 2017 Quarter, a summary of which is as follows:
-
Mary Kathleen JV - $1,400 on tenure admin fees;
-
Mt Frosty JV – $3,500 on tenure admin fees;
-
Cloncurry North (EPM 12205) – $900 on tenure admin fees.

Corporate Update
Proposed Acquisition Activities
The CYU Board is working closely with JCHX Group in the ongoing assessment and acquisition of new project opportunities – not just limited to copper projects but also gold and other base metals. The CYU Board continues to hold a view that the current resources market conditions remain suitable for business development and acquisition activities. Further news about these activities will be made available to the market as soon as possible.
2017 Annual General Meeting
The CYU AGM for 2017 will be held at the offices of Hopgood Ganim, Level 7, Waterfront Place, 1 Eagle Street, Brisbane on Thursday 25 May 2017 at 9.30am. Both the Chairman of CYU (Dr Huaisheng Peng) and non-executive director (Mr Qinghai Wang) will be attending the AGM.
Proposed Change of Name
At the AGM, under Resolution No 5, CYU will be seeking approval from shareholders to change the name of the Company to “AuKing Mining Ltd”. Resolution No 5 is a special resolution – thereby requiring a 75% majority of those shareholders who vote to approve the name change. This name change was considered appropriate since Chinalco/Yunnan Copper Group is no longer the Company’s largest shareholder and also reflects the intention of the Board that the Company is conducting mining operations in the near-term future. If this resolution is approved at the AGM, the Company’s new ASX Code will be “AKN” and logo will be as below:

Financial Position
As at 31 March 2017, CYU had cash reserves of $1.891M. These funds will provide more than sufficient funding to enable CYU to carry out project assessment review and transaction activities for the foreseeable future. In the event of CYU securing a project opportunity, additional funding will likely be required. Details of these requirements will be provided to shareholders and the market at the first available opportunity.
Further details of CYU’s financial activities during the March 2017 quarter are set out in the Appendix 5B Quarterly Cashflow Statement which accompanies this Report.
