AuKing Mining Ltd (ASX:AKN) managing director Paul Williams joins Proactive’s Tylah Tully to discuss the potentially significant gold mineralisation the company has confirmed at the Shaib Marqan project in Saudi Arabia through recent rock chip assays.

The project is in partnership with Barg Alsaman Mining Company (BSMC).

Earlier in the week AuKing and BSMC secured the exploration licence in Saudi Arabia as part of a competitive Saudi Ministry of Industry and Mineral Resources’ 6th Licensing Round bid process.

An Information Memorandum (IM) from the Ministry in August 2024 stated the 91.8-square-kilometre project is considered highly prospective for orogenic vein-hosted gold mineralisation and is significantly under-explored.

The project lies some 100 kilometres southeast of the Al Amar gold mine, which produced nearly 30,000 ounces in 2022.

Pre-bid site inspections included rock chip sampling, which revealed gold assay results of 2.97 g/t, 1.31 g/t, and 13.72 g/t, supporting historical data on gold occurrences in the area.

These results provide a foundation for an extensive soil and rock chip sampling program, which will commence following the formal grant of the exploration licence.

Discussions to finalise this licence with the Ministry are ongoing, and AuKing anticipates being able to initiate focused sampling activities based on these recent findings.

Proactive’s Tylah Tully breaks down ‘Just the Facts’ of the latest news from Surefire Resources NL (ASX: SRN).

The company has begun an RC drilling program at its Yidby Gold Project in Western Australia. This project targets an emerging gold system with mineralised zones up to 80 metres wide. Current gold anomalies cover a 3-kilometre strike length, with potential for further discoveries along strike and at depth.

The new phase of drilling includes 12 reverse circulation (RC) drill holes, totaling 2,500 metres, and focuses on priority targets south and east of current mineralisation. Recent geophysical and structural analysis guided these targets, identifying gravity and IP anomalies linked to high-grade gold zones.

After completing Yidby drilling, Surefire will proceed with its maiden drill program at the Phat Boy copper prospect. This will target copper and zinc soil anomalies, aiming to uncover volcanogenic massive sulphide deposits, with a model similar to the Golden Grove mine. Yidby and Phat Boy are key projects in Surefire's ongoing exploration efforts in Western Australia.

Proactive’s Tylah Tully breaks down ‘Just the Facts’ of the latest news from Taiton Resources Ltd (ASX:T88).

The company has acquired the Kingsgate Quartz Project in northern New South Wales, a high-purity quartz asset with recorded silicon oxide purity levels of up to 99.99% and impurities below 100 parts per million. This resource supports industries requiring high-purity quartz, such as solar panel and semiconductor manufacturing. Preliminary sampling shows purity between 99.53% and 99.99%.

A prior trial mining operation identified the potential to extract 100,000 tonnes of quartz annually over ten years. The project also presents exploration opportunities for molybdenum, bismuth and tungsten. Taiton recognises the growing demand for high-purity quartz, noting that high-quality sources cannot be easily replicated. Historically known for its clarity, Kingsgate quartz is set to become Taiton's flagship project.

The quartz deposit’s pipe structures, with diameters of up to 20 metres, make it suitable for underground mining, which could minimise environmental impact compared to traditional methods. Taiton is committed to advancing the project to mining phase as swiftly as possible.
