Operational Highlights
Alkane Managing Director & CEO, Nic Earner, stated that the company had another solid quarter of production from its three operating mines. He highlighted the continued balance sheet strengthening, noting the $454 million in cash, bullion, and listed investments at quarter end. During the quarter, the company filled hedging for 8,500 ounces of gold and made tax instalments of $16 million.
The merger with Mandalay Resources, which completed on 5 August 2025, influenced the basis for FY2026 statutory reporting. While Group YTD production reflects 100% contribution from Tomingley, Costerfield, and Björkdal, Alkane's statutory reported production for FY2026 reflects production from Costerfield and Björkdal only from the merger completion date. Attributable guidance for FY2026 was set at 155,000 to 168,000 AuEq ounces.
How does Alkane plan to utilize its significant liquidity balance of $454 million following the Mandalay Resources merger?
What are the production guidance targets for FY2027 now that the full-year integration of Costerfield and Björkdal is complete?
Will the company maintain its current hedging strategy, or does the strengthened cash position suggest a shift towards greater spot price exposure?
