Update: Dubbo gets a boost

Alkane has raised A$10.4m via the issue of 40m ordinary shares at A$0.26 per share. This financing allows Alkane to maintain its 2016 development timeline for Dubbo while it tackles the main issue of permitting the mine with the NSW authorities. This latter point is the main obstacle to Alkane advancing the financing strategy for its flagship project. Meanwhile, the Tomingley Gold Operation’s processing plant has reached its annualised designed throughput capacity of 1Mtpa on schedule. However, gold processing capacity has been constrained by the oxygen supply to the plant, causing a slowing of the CIL plant throughput. This has resulted in a slight downward revision to its production target – now expected to be at the lower end of 22-27koz for FY14.
