On 14 October, Alkane released its Q125 quarterly activities report, showing almost all of its operating parameters in line with both guidance and our expectations for the full year. The exceptions were its head grade, which exceeded the upper end of the guidance range by 6.1%, and AISC, which improved upon the lower end of the guidance range by 9.1%. Most significant however was confirmation that AISC guidance reflects a one-off cost for decline development that is accounted as sustaining capit...

Since our last update note on 20 May, Alkane has announced 1) the results of its scoping study on the Boda-Kaiser project, 2) FY24 production of 57,217oz Au at an all-in sustaining cost (AISC) guidance of A$2,150–2,350/oz, 3) an updated five-year mining plan at Tomingley and 4) regional exploration results from the Northern Molong Porphyry Project (NMPP). This note updates our valuation of the company for each of these developments, of which the most important are the results of the Boda-Kaiser ...
As with Boda before it, April’s resource update at Kaiser saw substantially all of its resource promoted from the inferred to the indicated category at a materially higher grade of both gold and copper. The close-spaced nature of the drilling required to achieve this will now allow these resources to be quickly and easily promoted to reserve status for the purpose of Alkane’s scoping study – or preliminary economic assessment – to be announced later this quarter.
Following an extensive drilling campaign, on 14 December, Alkane announced an update to its Boda mineral resource estimate to include Boda Two and Three, as expected in Q423. The result of the update was a 30% increase in the gold grade and a 22% (or 1.17Moz) increase in contained gold at Boda, which we value at US$28.2m (4.7 US cents or 7.0 Australian cents per share). The Boda deposit remains open at depth and along strike and a subsequent resource update at Kaiser is anticipated in late Q1 CY...
Alkane Resource’s FY23 financial results were broadly in line with our forecasts, with profit after tax totalling A$42.5m (compared to our forecast of A$44.0m) and EPS of 7.10c (cf 7.38c). Cash flows from operations exceeded our forecasts (A$95.5m cf A$75.6m) as a result of an increase in deferred tax liabilities, albeit this was balanced by higher exploration capex of A$58.1m to result in a net cash flow of A$4.1m (cf A$2.4m). Following FY23 production of 70,253oz at an all-in sustaining cost (...
Tomingley delivered Q423 gold production of 15,822oz, meeting its quarterly forecasts at an AISC of A$2,174/oz. These results concluded a strong year, with full year production of 70,253oz at an AISC of A$1,602/oz beating original FY23 guidance of 55,000–60,000oz production (at an AISC of A$1,650–1,900/oz), and meeting April 2023 production guidance of 65,000–73,000oz (at an AISC of A$1,550–1,750/oz). Full year gold sales totalled 70,498oz, generating revenue of A$190.5m at an average price of A...
Alkane continues to increase its production guidance, indicating confidence in a strong close to FY23, from 62,000–70,000oz to 65,000-73,000oz. It also lowered its expected unit costs to an AISC of A$1,550–1,700/oz, from previous guidance of A$1,550–1,800/oz. These updates follow confirmation of Q323 gold production of 16,641oz and a total for the year to date of 54,431oz, at an AISC of A$1,446/oz.
Since our outlook note published on 7 July 2022, Alkane has made several important announcements. Firstly, it improved its FY23 production guidance to 62,000–70,000oz (a 17% increase) after impressive H123 production at Tomingley and now expects to reach the upper end of this range. This has resulted in our EPS forecast for FY23 increasing by 30.6% from A$0.0445/share to A$0.0582/share. This was followed by the approval of the Tomingley Gold Extension Project, permitting open-cut mining at the R...
Alkane has announced an initial inferred resource estimation at its Kaiser deposit based on approximately 49,000m of drilling, using a 0.3g/t gold equivalent (AuEq) cut-off required for open-cut mining at the deposit. The programme concluded with an estimate of 270Mt grading at 0.54g/t AuEq for 4.7Moz AuEq (0.48Mt Cu, 2.05Moz Au). As a result, the value of contained copper now surpasses the value of gold in the Boda-Kaiser deposits. Additional exploration is now underway at Boda and Kaiser, with...
As expected, the NSW Minister for Planning has approved Alkane’s Tomingley Gold Extension Project, allowing both open-cut mining at the Roswell and San Antonio deposits (including underground mining at the former) and extending the mine life to 2032. The approval accepts a processing rate of up to 1.75Mtpa, with underground mining due to commence at Roswell before the end of CY23. Financing has been secured via A$50m of debt funding from Macquarie Bank, together with 100koz of gold hedging at a ...
Alkane’s Q123 operational results, announced today, were notably ahead of our forecasts, driven by both mill throughput (which operated at an elevated rate equivalent to 1.08Mtpa) and head grade (which, at 2.75g/t, was materially ahead of our expectations) to result in gold production for the quarter of 19,489oz (cf guidance for FY23 of 55-60koz). Given these results, our forecasts are under review.
On 22 October, Alkane announced the results to a further 19 diamond core and reverse circulation (RC) drill holes at it Northern Molong Porphyry Project. As well as continuing to delineate the strike and dip extent of the porphyry mineralisation at Boda, in this case, Alkane also announced results from Boda Two and Three (to the south of Boda) and Kaiser (to the northwest). Individual intercepts at Boda ranged from 1m at 18.6g/t gold to 11m at 2.88g/t and wider, while one at Kaiser recorded 4.94...

On 16 August, Alkane published the assay results of 10 more holes drilled at Boda. While our estimate of the overall mineralised inventory at Boda has changed little as a result of this set of holes, probably their most significant consequence is the increase in the potential resource contained within the high-grade sulphide cemented breccia from c 2.1Moz gold equivalent (AuE) to c 3.5Moz AuE above 3.0g/t AuE. This is as a result of the extension of this structure to at least 800m (cf 500m previ...

On 9 November, Alkane reported the results of an additional 11 holes at its Boda prospect at its Northern Molong Porphyry Project. The most obvious, immediate consequence of the results is that it has doubled the north-south strike length of the system from 500m to 1,000m and, as such, is likely to represent either an extension of the original system or a whole new system. Among other things, this has caused us to increase our estimate of the upper limit of the mineralised inventory at Boda from...
