AuKing Mining Limited has secured its eighth Malawi export approval, covering 357 reverse circulation drill samples from the Tundulu Rare Earths Project in southern Malawi.

The latest regulatory clearance brings the company's total approved reverse circulation drill samples to 4,133 across eight permits. This compares with the 2,992 samples covered by five export permits reported previously on 31 July 2026. Further export permits will be sought over the next two weeks to cover additional material generated from the ongoing diamond drilling program at the southern Malawi site.

Laboratory processing and assay workflows are advancing concurrently with the field program. Assay results for the first two sample batches, which comprise a total of 1,270 samples from the initial drilling phase at Tundulu, have not yet been received by the company, though final data is expected imminently. In addition, a third batch consisting of 577 samples has now arrived at Intertek's Perth laboratory to undergo processing.

Because the drilling campaign has generated a significant volume of material, AuKing anticipates a substantial and continuous flow of assay results and associated geological information over the coming weeks and months. This incoming analytical data will provide the necessary technical foundation to support the company's objective of preparing a maiden Mineral Resource Estimate for Tundulu before the end of the year.
