Update: TGO hits targets, DZP hafnium aids upside

The Tomingley Gold Operation (TGO) hit its FY15 production target and mining has followed plans with production reconciling well with resource models. Coupled with a significantly weaker Australian dollar and well managed costs, the TGO generated A$23.7m in cash flow in FY15 (after operating and development costs), A$15m of which was invested straight back into the Dubbo Zirconium Project (DZP). In our view, the market’s slight negative reaction to Alkane’s Q4 results relates to a broad pessimism towards commodities and a view on quarterly financials rather than considering the full-year performance data – which shows the TGO to be a solid, profitable gold mine operating in line with expectations.
