AuKing returning to Mkuju Uranium Project

AuKing Mining (ASX:AKN) is proceeding with stage two drilling at the Mkuju Uranium Project in southern Tanzania after the initial stage one identified significant areas of uranium mineralisation.

CEO Paul Williams says the planned 75-drillhole (11,000m) aircore/RC drilling program at Mkuju is expected to commence in late May, after cessation of the wet season.

“The work we carried out last year in the stage one program identified several key target areas for the proposed drilling.

Under local content rules in Tanzania a tender is required to be called from drilling service companies and that process has now commenced.”

AuKing is a mining exploration company focused on uranium, copper, and zinc projects in both Tanzania and Australia.
