AU Finance operates across two core disciplines — with flagship gold exploration assets in Papua New Guinea and strategic real estate development in key Australian markets.
AU Finance Pty Ltd is a mineral exploration and development company focused on advancing gold assets in Papua New Guinea. The Company operates with a disciplined, validation-first approach designed to systematically de-risk geological assumptions and build institutional-grade asset value.
Led by some of the most experienced exploration geologists in the region, AU Finance applies rigorous technical methodology at every stage — from early reconnaissance through to resource definition and development feasibility.
ML 573 — Sowom River, Sandaun / West Sepik Province, Papua New Guinea. A high-grade gold exploration asset advancing through Mining Lease Application, demonstrating the institutional potential of AU Finance's PNG gold strategy.
The Sowom Project is AU Finance's flagship mineral exploration asset, located on the Sowom River in Sandaun (West Sepik) Province, Papua New Guinea. The project is advancing through Mining Lease Application (ML 573) — a critical milestone in the de-risking and development pathway for this high-grade gold deposit.
Geological block calculations across the Sowom River lease area indicate a material resource base, with six defined blocks totalling 32.34 million tonnes at an estimated gold equivalent grade of 10g/t — representing a significant in-situ value position. XRF gun sampling and photo-log field work have been completed, with ongoing geological validation underway.
The project has received 100% community support from the Sowom River village, as evidenced at the formal Warden's Hearing — a key social licence milestone that materially reduces project risk for investors.
Alongside our exploration mandate, AU Finance pursues strategic real estate development opportunities — delivering high-quality residential and commercial projects that generate strong returns for investors and lasting value for communities.
Our real estate division draws on deep expertise in property development, capital structuring, and project delivery — managing the complete lifecycle from site acquisition through to completion and settlement.
