Production for the 12 months ended June 2019 expected to be approximately 48,000 to 49,000 ounces at an AISC of A$950-$1,050/oz
Production
-
➢ Gold production from processing of medium grade stockpiles for April and May totals 8,886 ounces, giving 46,319 ounces financial year to date.
-
➢ Gold production for FY19 is expected to be approximately 48,000 to 49,000 ounces, which is above the upper range of previous guidance range of 42,000 to 47,000 ounces.
-
➢ Cost guidance for FY19 has reduced as a result to $950 to $1,050 per ounce.
-
➢ Processing of low-grade stockpiles, which total ~700,000 tonnes and are expected to average ~0.7 g/t Au, will continue for the remainder of the calendar year at the design feedrate of 1 million tonnes per annum, after which processing will revert to underground ore.
Underground
-
➢ Development of the underground operation continues on budget and ahead of schedule.
-
➢ Development rates from the single jumbo have averaged ~300m per month for the last three months.
-
➢ Development has turned out at the first ore level and first stoping ore is expected in August.
-
➢ Grade control drilling commenced in April.
Managing Director Nic Earner said “The team at Tomingley Gold Operations continues to perform really well, which in turn is providing a solid cash platform for the company to rapidly advance its near mine exploration. We look forward to seeing our first underground ore delivered shortly.”

ABOUT ALKANE ‐ www.alkane.com.au ‐ ASX: ALK and OTCQX: ANLKY
Alkane is a gold production company with a multi‐commodity exploration and development portfolio. Alkane’s projects are predominantly in the Central West region of NSW, but extend throughout Australia.
Alkane’s gold production is from the Tomingley Gold Operations (TGO) which has been operating since early 2014. Alkane has investments in other gold exploration and development companies.
Alkane’s most advanced gold exploration projects are in the 100% Alkane owned tenement area between TGO and Peak Hill and have the potential for sourcing additional ore for TGO.
Alkane has other 100% owned exploration tenements in Central Western NSW prospective for gold and copper.
Alkane’s largest non‐gold project is the Dubbo Project (DP), a large in-ground resource of zirconium, hafnium, niobium, yttrium and rare earth elements. As it is an advanced polymetallic project outside China, it is a potential strategic and independent supply of critical minerals for a range of sustainable technologies and future industries. It has a potential mine life of 75+ years. The DP is development ready, subject to financing, with the mineral deposit and surrounding land acquired and all major State and Federal approvals in place.
