Market capitalisation

AUD345m

Alkane Resources has two main assets in Central West New South Wales: the Tomingley gold mine, where recent exploration has increased the mine life by at least eight years, from FY23 to FY31, and its Northern Molong Porphyry project, which is shaping up to be a tier 1 alkalic porphyry district.

In the wake of the Boda-Kaiser scoping study, we value Tomingley (plus cash) at A$0.30/share plus a further A$0.40–0.50/share for Boda-Kaiser as a resource or A$0.43/share for it as a producing asset (risked to its current stage of development). In addition, we estimate that ongoing exploration could add a further A$0.51/share to Alkane’s valuation, while performing all valuations at current metals prices raises the total to A$1.81/share.

Financials

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 capital (rather than as an operating expense) and as a result we have increased our earnings estimates for FY25 by A$21.2m, or 85.8x (8,479%).
