AuKing Mining Ltd ( (AU:AKN) ) has shared an announcement.
Tusker Minerals has agreed to sell its 100% interest in the Tundulu Rare Earth Elements project in southern Malawi to AuKing Mining for total consideration of $5.55 million in staged cash and equity. The deal is structured as non-dilutive funding, reinforcing Tusker’s balance sheet and extending its funding runway through 2026 while preserving exposure to the project via AuKing shares and performance rights.
Proceeds will be redirected to accelerate exploration and development of Tusker’s core rutile and heavy mineral sands portfolio in Malawi and Cameroon, where management sees stronger near-term value and strategic relevance to global critical mineral supply chains. By transferring Tundulu to a dedicated rare earths owner, Tusker aims to unlock value from the REE asset without further capital commitment, sharpen its strategic focus on titanium-rich mineral sands, and maintain leverage to rare earth markets amid favourable macro tailwinds.
