Item 4.01 Change in Registrants Certifying Accountant

Termination of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

On May 9, 2024 (the "Dismissal Date"), Okmin Resources Inc. (the "Company") dismissed BF Borgers CPA PC (the "Former Auditor") as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm. On May 3, 2024, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") announced that it had settled charges against Borgers for failure to conduct audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (the "PCAOB"). As part of the settlement, Borgers agreed to a permanent ban on appearing or practicing before the SEC. As a result of Borgers' settlement with the SEC, the Company dismissed Borgers as its independent accountant.

The Company is in the process of engaging a new public accounting firm and will provide an updated disclosure as soon as that occurs.

During the years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 and through the Dismissal Date, the Company has not had any disagreements with the Former Auditor on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the Former Auditor's satisfaction, would have caused the Former Auditor to make reference thereto in its reports on the Company's financial statements for such years.

Except as set forth below, during the years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 and through the Dismissal Date, the reports of the Former Auditor on the Company's financial statements did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, and such reports were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principle, except that the reports contained a paragraph stating there was substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") has advised that, in lieu of obtaining a letter from BF Borgers stating whether or not it agrees with the statements herein, the Company may indicate that BF Borgers is not currently permitted to appear or practice before the SEC for reasons described in the SEC's Order Instituting Public Administrative and Cease-and-Desist Proceedings Pursuant to Section 8A of the Securities Act of 1933, Sections 4C and 21C of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 102(e) of the Commission's Rules of Practice, Making Findings, and Imposing Remedial Sanctions and a Cease-and-Desist Order, dated May 3, 2024.
