AuKing Mining Limited Prospectus

(o) Failure to satisfy expenditure commitments and licence conditions Interests in tenements in Western Australia are governed by the mining acts and regulations that are current in Western Australia and are evidenced by the granting of licences or leases. Each licence or lease is for a specific term and carries with it annual expenditure and reporting commitments, as well as other conditions requiring compliance. All of the tenements within the Koongie Park Project have been consistently under-expended and various applications for exemption from expenditure conditions have been lodged. If the Company does not meet the minimum expenditure requirements for each tenement, each tenement is at risk of forfeiture from the Minister for Mines and Petroleum or a third party. If a tenement is forfeited there is no guarantee the Company will be able to regain title to the tenement and, if the Company loses a tenement, it will have a significant impact on the Company’s ability to discover and develop mineral resources on that tenement. (p) Title Risk The exploration and prospecting licences in which the Company has an interest in now, or may, in the future, acquire an interest, are subject to the applicable local laws and regulations. There is no guarantee that any licences, applications or conversions in which the Company has a current or potential interest will be granted or ministerial approvals for the transfer of the relevant tenements will be obtained. All of the projects in which the Company has an interest will be subject to application for licence renewal from time to time. Renewal of the term of each licence is subject to applicable legislation. If the licence is not renewed for any reason, the Company may suffer significant damage through loss of the opportunity to develop and discover any mineral resources on that licence. Although the Company has taken steps to verify the title to the resource properties in which it has or has a right to acquire an interest, in accordance with industry standards for the current stage of exploration of such properties, these procedures do not guarantee title. Title to resource properties may be subject to unregistered prior agreements or transfers and may also be affected by undetected defects or other stakeholder rights. (q) Resource Estimation Mineral resource estimates and exploration targets are expressions of judgement based on knowledge, experience and industry practice. There are inherent risks associated with such estimates, including that ore eventually recovered may be of a different grade, tonnage or strip ratio from those adopted in the model used. These estimates also depend to some extent on interpretations and geological assumptions which may ultimately prove to be unreliable. As further information becomes available through additional drilling and analysis, the estimates are likely to change. Any adjustments to mineral resource estimates could affect the Company’s exploration and development which may, in turn, affect the Company’s performance. Fluctuations in commodity prices, costs and other market factors may subsequently alter a resource estimation. Accordingly, adverse changes to the assumptions underpinning mineral resource estimates or exploration targets would likely negatively impact the value of the tenements and thereby the Company’s prospects. (r) Climate Change The operations and activities of the Company are subject to changes to local or international compliance regulations related to climate change mitigation efforts, specific taxation or penalties for carbon emissions or environmental damage and other possible restraints on industry that may further impact the Company. While the Company will endeavour to manage these risks and limit any consequential impacts, there can be no guarantee that the Company will not be impacted by these occurrences. Climate change may also cause certain physical and environmental risks that cannot be predicted by the Company, including events such as increased severity of weather patterns, incidence of extreme weather events and longer-term physical risks such as shifting climate patterns. All these risks associated with climate change may significantly change the industry in which the Company operates. AuKing Mining Limited | PROSPECTUS 63
