Alkane extends high-grade gold trend at Brunswick South
Alkane Resources has reported high-grade gold and antimony intercepts from 91 drill holes at the Brunswick South deposit, including 109.9g/t gold over 0.65m. The drilling confirmed grade continuity and identified a new gold-dominant Kiwi Zone. Development towards the deposit is scheduled for Q3 2026.

Alkane Resources Limited has reported high-grade gold and antimony intercepts from extension and infill drilling at the Brunswick South deposit, located 400m south of the previously mined Brunswick vein at its Costerfield Operation in central Victoria. The drilling program, comprising 91 holes totalling 28,421m, has confirmed grade continuity and identified a high-grade connection between the recently discovered gold-dominant zone at depth and historical surface workings.
Drilling Highlights
Significant intercepts from the Brunswick South vein include 109.9g/t gold and 3.1% antimony over 0.65m in hole BD433, and 50.1g/t gold and 26.2% antimony over 2.17m in hole BD468. Other notable results from the program include 50.2g/t gold and 33.3% antimony over 0.86m in BD424, and 39.8g/t gold and 0.7% antimony over 1.3m in BD408. The drilling has defined two main economic zones: an upper shoot of high-grade antimony-gold mineralisation and a lower panel of gold-dominated mineralisation with a strike length approaching 400m, known as the Kiwi Zone.
Significant Intercepts Table
| Drill Hole ID | Interval (m) | Au (g/t) | Sb (%) | Gold-equiv. grade diluted to 1.8 m (g/t) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| BD468 | 2.17 | 50.1 | 26.2 | 67.2 |
| BD433 | 0.65 | 109.9 | 3.1 | 40.1 |
| BD424 | 0.86 | 50.2 | 33.3 | 44.7 |
| BD408 | 1.30 | 39.8 | 0.7 | 26.6 |
| BD513 | 1.70 | 25.0 | 0.0 | 22.8 |
| BD496 | 1.65 | 21.6 | 6.7 | 19.2 |
Future Plans
Alkane Managing Director & CEO, Nic Earner, stated that the newly defined deposit contains pockets of high gold endowment and a significant quantity of antimony. The company plans to commence development towards Brunswick South in the current quarter to establish it as a primary production source for Costerfield. An updated Mineral Resource Estimation with an initial Ore Reserve is scheduled for release later in the year. Additionally, follow-up drilling is planned for the Kiwi Fault structure and a parallel veining target identified approximately 200m to the west of Brunswick South.
How will the updated Mineral Resource Estimation and initial Ore Reserve impact Alkane's overall production forecasts for the Costerfield Operation?
What are the anticipated capital and operational costs associated with developing Brunswick South as a primary production source?
How might the high antimony grades influence the project's economics given current market demand and pricing for the critical mineral?
