March 2026 Quarter Production Update
Production beats quarter‑on‑quarter, liquidity bolstered – but guidance unchanged

Alkane Resources reported Q1 2026 consolidated production of 45,776 AuEq oz (44,669 Au oz + 377 t Sb), up from the prior quarter. Cash, bullion and listed investments total A$374 million; pro‑forma liquidity reaches A$472 million including an undrawn $110 million revolving credit facility expected to be available in June 2026. The company remains essentially debt‑free aside from a $20 million equipment finance and reaffirmed FY 2026 production guidance of 160,000‑175,000 AuEq oz at an AISC of A$2,600‑A$2,900 per AuEq oz.
Key operational highlights:
- Tomingley: 21,652 Au oz (62,076 Au oz YTD)
- Costerfield: 10,584 Au oz + 377 t Sb (29,986 Au oz YTD)
- Björkdal: 12,433 Au oz (30,901 Au oz YTD)
No diesel supply interruptions; contracts in place. Hedged 8,700 oz of gold during the quarter.
The production increase is a modest but positive deviation from the prior quarter and confirms that FY 2026 guidance remains achievable. Liquidity has improved markedly, providing ample runway for growth projects and the upcoming $110 million revolving credit facility. Because the guidance was already set at these levels, the news does not alter forward‑looking expectations materially; it simply validates existing forecasts.
Conclusion: The announcement is a routine positive update—expected given prior guidance and recent financing activity. It reinforces confidence but does not constitute a game‑changing catalyst.
Alkane Resources Ltd is an Australian‑based gold producer with antimony by‑product, operating three underground mines:
- Tomingley (NSW, Australia): Primary gold mine, delivering ~22 kt Au per quarter.
- Costerfield (Victoria, Australia): Gold‑antimony operation; recent Kendal extension shows high‑grade Au–Sb intercepts (>260 g/t Au).
- Björkdal (Sweden): Gold mine with the Storheden deposit delivering ultra‑high grades (up to 142 g/t Au).
Strategic growth is driven by the Boda‑Kaiser porphyry project (Northern Molong Porphyry Project) and continued exploration at existing assets.
