Copper Enriched Zone Near Surface at Kaiser

  • Resource drilling at the Kaiser prospect, centred 1km northwest of the Boda resource, has intersected significant copper-gold porphyry mineralisation including:

KAI082 134m grading 0.85% Cu, 0.71g/t Au from 211m incl 68m grading 1.50% Cu, 1.17g/t Au from 249m KAI075 104m grading 0.39% Cu, 0.18g/t Au from 150m incl 6m grading 0.70% Cu, 0.28g/t Au from 207m and 54m grading 0.36% Cu, 0.23g/t Au from 265m incl 4m grading 0.63% Cu, 0.38g/t Au from 291m KAI081 38m grading 0.48% Cu, 0.20g/t Au from 45m incl 13m grading 1.05% Cu, 0.35g/t Au from 49m and 70m grading 0.26% Cu, 0.14g/t Au from 175m incl 11m grading 0.45% Cu, 0.29g/t Au from 196m

  • The porphyry mineralisation intersected in the northwest area of Kaiser appears more copper enriched with bornite and chalcocite commonly observed. The KAI082 Cu-Au intercept is the best recorded at Kaiser to date.

  • At the Korridor (Boda Northwest Extension) prospect, approximately 500m southeast of Kaiser, results were received from deep diamond core drilling that is targeting the apparent northwest plunge to the Boda resource. This drilling intersected broad goldcopper mineralisation, with significant intercepts including:

KSRC041D 566m grading 0.26g/t Au, 0.14% Cu from 631m incl 113m grading 0.60g/t Au, 0.21% Cu from 1,059m BOD089 427m grading 0.26g/t Au, 0.15% Cu from 684m incl 6m grading 1.07g/t Au, 0.25% Cu from 960m

  • Results were received from four deep diamond core drill holes for the Boda Two/Three prospects. These holes were designed to test the north-south continuation of broad gold-copper mineralisation intersected in previously announced drillholes.

Significant intercepts include:

BOD064 445m grading 0.25g/t Au, 0.13% Cu from 451m and 57m grading 0.26g/t Au, 0.10% Cu from 967m and 120m grading 0.33g/t Au, 0.15% Cu from 1,119m and 50m grading 0.41/t Au, 0.18% Cu from 1,298m

KSDD039 12m grading 1.47g/t Au, 0.73% Cu from 688m and 308m grading 0.35g/t Au, 0.17% Cu from 803m

  • The 100m x 100m grid drilling at Kaiser to identify mineralisation amenable to open cut mining is nearing completion with two diamond core rigs mobilised to diamond tail selected RC holes to greater depths where necessary. Drilling operations are expected to be completed by the end of the month. The resource estimation is now expected in Q1 2023 due to an extension of the drilling program to the northwest and delays associated with persistent heavy rainfall.

  • Recently acquired Induced Polarisation (IP) with Magnetotelluric (MT) survey completed over the northwest structural corridor area extending 5km north-west of Kaiser, identified two high-priority targets. The first target has been RC drill tested with observations of pyrite and trace chalcopyrite mineralisation associated with inner propylitic alteration. Further drilling is planned in October 2022.

  • A major RC and diamond core infill drilling program designed at the Boda Two and Boda Three prospects will commence immediately after the Kaiser drilling is completed.

Alkane Resources Limited (ASX: ALK) is pleased to announce further results from its initial resource drilling program at the Company’s Kaiser Prospect in Central New South Wales. Kaiser is approximately one kilometre northwest of Boda, a landmark porphyry gold-copper system within the Northern Molong Porphyry Project, which the Company believes has the potential to be a large, tier one gold-copper project.

Alkane also operates the nearby Tomingley Gold Operations (‘Tomingley’).

Alkane Managing Director, Nic Earner, said: “The initial shallow resource drilling program at Kaiser is revealing a copper enriched near-surface zone that appears to be increasing in grade to the northwest. We’re greatly encouraged by these recent results, both by their grade and their proximity to surface.

“With mineralisation over three kilometres from Boda Three to Kaiser, open along strike and at depth and further targets identified along trend to the northwest of Kaiser we clearly have a significant system. Drilling continues both at Kaiser, with Boda Two and Three to follow.”

Northern Molong Porphyry Project (NMPP) Alkane Resources Ltd 100%

The Project is located in central west NSW at the northern end of the Molong Volcanic Belt of the Macquarie Arc and is considered highly prospective for large scale porphyry and epithermal gold-copper deposits.

Exploration in the NMPP has identified five discrete magnetic/intrusive complexes – Kaiser, Boda, Comobella, Driell Creek and Finns Crossing – within a 15km northwest trending corridor. The corridor is defined by intermediate intrusives, lavas and breccias, extensive alteration and widespread, low-grade, gold-copper mineralisation.

==> picture [429 x 428] intentionally omitted <==

Significant exploration on the NMPP commenced in 2019, defining several gold-copper occurrences and co-incident IP anomalies within the 15 km monzonite intrusive corridor that extends from Boda Three to Finns Crossing. This exploration comprised of concentrated drilling of the Boda prospect resulting in the reporting of an initial Inferred Resource for the Boda deposit ( ASX Announcement 30 March 2022 ). Drilling continues to test mineralised zones outside of the Boda resource envelope at Kaiser, Korridor and Boda Two/Three.

Kaiser Prospect

The Kaiser prospect, centred about 1km northwest of Boda, comprises a thick sequence of basaltic to

andesitic volcanics and volcaniclastics that have been intruded by a series of dykes and stocks that range in composition from diorite and monzodiorite to monzonite. Porphyry copper-gold mineralisation at the Kaiser prospect is associated with two northwest trending zones of potassic to calc-potassic alteration, the Kaiser and Duke Zones, that host zones of chalcopyrite-bornite ± pyrite in veins and as disseminations. Minor hydrothermal breccias are responsible for some narrow intervals of high-grade mineralisation, and other high-grade intervals occur as disseminations, forming blebs of bornite - chalcopyrite ± chalcocite replacement mineralisation. In difference to Boda, the Kaiser alteration appears more siliceous and commonly with a higher component of copper mineralisation, possibly indicating it was formed at a deeper level to the porphyry system at Boda.

A drilling program composed of RC with diamond tails, commenced in February 2022, was designed on a 100m x 100m grid to a 300m vertical depth for the purpose of estimating a shallow resource. Results have been returned for a further 15 holes (5,337 metres) intersecting significant Cu-Au mineralisation including:

KAI040 279m grading 0.14% Cu, 0.14g/t Au from 297m KAI069 52m grading 0.32% Cu, 0.32g/t Au from 294m to end of hole incl 11m grading 0.76% Cu, 1.19g/t Au from 307m KAI074 134m grading 0.16% Cu, 0.14g/t Au from 49m and 81m grading 0.13% Cu, 0.26g/t Au from 244m KAI075 104m grading 0.39% Cu, 0.18g/t Au from 150m incl 6m grading 0.70% Cu, 0.28g/t Au from 207m and 54m grading 0.36% Cu, 0.23g/t Au from 265m incl 4m grading 0.63% Cu, 0.38g/t Au from 291m KAI077 264m grading 0.15% Cu, 0.22g/t Au from 8m KAI081 38m grading 0.48% Cu, 0.20g/t Au from 45m incl 13m grading 1.05% Cu, 0.35g/t Au from 49m and 70m grading 0.26% Cu, 0.14g/t Au from 175m incl 11m grading 0.45% Cu, 0.29g/t Au from 196m KAI082 134m grading 0.85% Cu, 0.71g/t Au from 211m incl 68m grading 1.50% Cu, 1.17g/t Au from 249m

Encouragingly the recent drilling has intersected the best Cu-Au intercept recorded at Kaiser with KAI082 of 134m @ 0.85% Cu, 0.71g/t Au from 211m, including 68m @ 1.50% Cu, 1.17g/t Au from 249m. The announced drill hole section shows subvertical pipe-like mineralisation cross cutting gently east dipping volcanic stratigraphy. The mineralisation, only observed in RC chips at this stage, appears dominantly disseminated to blebby in nature, with bornite over chalcopyrite in abundance. Diamond tail drills of KAI086 beneath the significant mineralisation of KAI082 is currently underway, with results expected in Q4 2022.

Drilling northwest of the initial proposed resource area at Kaiser supports the thesis that the system is still open in that direction with KAI069 returning a mineralised intercept of 52m @ 0.32% Cu, 0.32g/t Au from 294m to the end of hole, including 11m @ 0.76% Cu, 1.19g/t Au from 307m. Observations in diamond core drilled a further 100m northwest of KAI069, has intersected a bornite-chalcopyritemagnetite-actinolite-calcite cemented crackle breccia as photographed below. Additional holes are now

Korridor Prospect/Boda NW Extension

The Korridor prospect is located within the northwest trending structural corridor between the Boda deposit and the Kaiser prospect. Porphyry gold-copper mineralisation was intersected from near surface in RC holes BOD066 - 226m grading 0.25g/t Au, 0.10% Cu from 12m to end of hole, and deeper in BOD065 - 64m grading 0.43g/t Au, 0.12% Cu from 174m to end of hole (ASX Announcement 17 December 2021). Further drilling linking and infilling the Korridor mineralisation to the northwest margin of the Boda resource has been completed with assay results received from an additional four drill holes. Significant results include:

KSRC041D 566m grading 0.26g/t Au, 0.14% Cu from 631m incl 113m grading 0.60g/t Au, 0.21% Cu from 1,059m BOD089 427m grading 0.26g/t Au, 0.15% Cu from 684m

Drilling has established that the Korridor prospect is located over a significant NNW trending, steep WSW dipping reverse structure over which significant post-mineral displacement has occurred. This structure also abuts the apparent northwest plunge to the Boda deposit as indicated by drill holes BOD090 and BOD092 intersecting only minor mineralisation southwest of this structure. Northeast directed drilling across the fault will be required to test the footwall zone at depth.

Boda Two/Three Prospects

The Boda Two prospect is defined by coincident magnetic high and gold-copper soil anomaly with an estimated north-south 1,100m x 500m footprint. An electrical geophysics survey (3D-IP) identified a strongly conductive target ( ASX Announcement 19 May 2020 ) that was drill tested with KSDD022 intersecting substantial pyrite mineralisation with significant gold grades of 292m @ 0.66g/t Au from 867m ( ASX Announcement 11 November 2020 ).

Drilling has been conducted on west-orientated drilling traverses, spaced 100 metres apart with broad drill hole spacing ranging between 150 – 300m down dip. The drilling continues to identify extensive and continuous zones of low-grade gold-copper porphyry mineralisation, with internal high-grade zones associated with weakly developed hydrothermal breccias of magnetite ± pyrite ± chalcopyrite. Assay results were received for four RC precollared diamond core drill holes for 4,303.6 metres, including significant results of:

BOD064 445m grading 0.25g/t Au, 0.13% Cu from 451m and 57m grading 0.26g/t Au, 0.10% Cu from 967m and 120m grading 0.33g/t Au, 0.15% Cu from 1,119m and 50m grading 0.41/t Au, 0.18% Cu from 1,298m

A major RC and diamond core drilling program has been designed at Boda Two and Boda Three with drill holes targeting extensions to gold-copper mineralised breccias and to infill the drilling in the low-grade disseminated mineralisation. An initial hole will be drilled from west to east targeting the gold-rich pyrite mineralisation, with a secondary purpose of identifying repetition in alteration and mineralisation assemblages potentially caused by steep west dipping shear zones. Drilling is expected to begin October 2022.

Electrical Geophysics

An Induced Polarisation (IP) and Magnetotelluric (MT) electrical geophysical survey was completed in March 2022. The survey was conducted over the area to the northwest of Kaiser within a 5km section of the northwest corridor that includes Driell Creek Magnetic Complex for the purpose of delineating further intrusive centres. Three coincident IP chargeability and conductivity anomalies were identified. The strongest anomaly was recently RC drill tested, intersecting propylitic to inner propylitic alteration associated with disseminated pyrite mineralisation. Minor zones (1-5 metres thick) of potassic alteration were also observed and were usually associated with trace chalcopyrite mineralisation. A deeper diamond core drill hole has been RC pre-collared and is planned for completion in Q4 2022 to better understand and characterise the IP anomaly.

ABOUT ALKANE ‐ www.alkane.com.auASX: ALK

Alkane Resources is poised to become Australia’s next multi-mine gold producer.

The Company’s current gold production is from the Tomingley Gold Operations in Central West New South Wales, where it has been operating since 2014 and is currently expediting a development pathway to extend the mine’s life beyond 2030.

Alkane has an enviable exploration track record and controls several highly prospective gold and copper tenements. Its most advanced exploration projects are in the tenement area between Tomingley and Peak Hill, which have the potential to provide additional ore for Tomingley’s operations.

Alkane’s exploration success includes the landmark porphyry gold-copper mineralisation discovery at Boda in 2019. With drilling ongoing adjacent to the initial resource identified at Boda, Alkane is confident of further consolidating Central West New South Wales’ reputation as a significant gold production region.

Alkane’s gold interests extend throughout Australia, with strategic investments in other gold exploration and aspiring mining companies, including ~9.8%of Calidus Resources (ASX: CAI).

JORC Code, 2012 Edition – Table 1 NORTHERN MOLONG PORPHYRY PROJECT – September 2022 Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data

(Criteria in this section apply to all succeeding sections.)

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Sampling
techniques

Nature and quality of sampling (eg cut channels, random chips, or specific specialised
industry standard measurement tools appropriate to the minerals under investigation,
such as down hole gamma sondes, or handheld XRF instruments, etc). These
examples should not be taken as limiting the broad meaning of sampling.

Diamond core drilling was undertaken by Ophir Drilling Pty Ltd

DD sample intervals were defined by geologist during logging to honour geological
boundaries, cut in half by diamond saw, with half core sent to ALS Laboratories

RC drilling was undertaken by Strike Drilling Pty Ltd

RC samples are collected at one metre intervals via a cyclone on the rig. The cyclone
is cleaned regularly to minimise any contamination

Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample representivity and the
appropriate calibration of any measurement tools or systems used.

Sampling and QAQC procedures are carried out using Alkane protocols as per industry
best practice

Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that are Material to the Public Report. In
cases where ‘industry standard’ work has been done this would be relatively simple (eg
‘reverse circulation drilling was used to obtain 1 m samples from which 3 kg was
pulverised to produce a 30 g charge for fire assay’). In other cases more explanation
may be required, such as where there is coarse gold that has inherent sampling
problems. Unusual commodities or mineralisation types (eg submarine nodules) may
warrant disclosure of detailed information.

Core was laid out in suitably labelled core trays. A core marker (core block) was placed
at the end of each drilled run (nominally 6m) and labelled with the hole number, down
hole depth, length of drill run. Core was aligned and measured by tape, comparing
back to this down hole depth consistent with industry standards. Half core is sampled
with a Corewise automatic core saw.

RC Drilling – the total sample (~35kg) is delivered via cyclone into a large plastic bag
which is retained for future use if required. A sub-sample of approximately 1kg is spear
sampled from each plastic bag and composited to make a 3 metres sample interval. If
mineralisation is observed by the site geologist this is sampled as a final 1m interval
instead. The 1m intervals forming composite samples assaying ≥0.10 g/t Au or ≥0.10
% Cu are re-split using a cone splitter on the rig into a separate calico at the time of
drilling and re-submitted to the laboratory for re-assay.

Gold was determined by fire assay fusion of a 50g charge with an AAS analytical finish

A multi-element suite was determined using a multi-acid digest with a ICP Atomic
Emission Spectrometry or ICP Mass Spectrometry analytical finish.
Drilling
techniques

Drill type (eg core, reverse circulation, open-hole hammer, rotary air blast, auger,
Bangka, sonic, etc) and details (eg core diameter, triple or standard tube, depth of
diamond tails, face-sampling bit or other type, whether core is oriented and if so, by
what method, etc).

Reverse circulation (RC) drilling using 110mm rods 144mm face sampling hammer

Triple tube diamond drilling with PQ3/HQ3 wireline bit producing 83mm diameter (PQ3) and
61.1mm diameter (HQ3) sized orientated core. Wedge holes are completed using NQ3 wireline
bit producing 45mm diameter sized orientated core.

Drill sample
recovery

Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample recoveries and results
assessed.

DD - core loss was identified by drillers and calculated by geologists when logging.
Generally ≥99% was recovered with any loss usually in portions of the oxide zone.

Triple tube coring was used at all times to maximise core recovery with larger diameter
(PQ3) core or RC precollars used in the oxide zones.

RC sample quality is assessed by the sampler by visual approximation of sample
recovery and if the sample is dry, damp or wet.

Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and ensure representative nature of the
samples.

Sample quality is qualitatively logged

Core drilling completed using HQ triple tube where possible to maximise core recovery.

A high capacity RC rig was used to enable dry samples collected. Drill cyclone is
cleaned between rod changes and after each hole to minimise cross-hole
contamination.

Whether a relationship exists between sample recovery and grade and whether sample
bias may have occurred due to preferential loss/gain of fine/coarse material.

There is no known relationship between sample recovery and grade
Logging
Whether core and chip samples have been geologically and geotechnically logged to a
level of detail to support appropriate Mineral Resource estimation, mining studies and
metallurgical studies.

Each one metre interval is geologically logged for characteristics such as lithology,
weathering, alteration (type, character and intensity), veining (type, character and
intensity) and mineralisation (type, character and volume percentage)

Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in nature. Core (or costean, channel, etc)
photography

Mostly logging was qualitative with visual estimates of the various characteristics. In
addition, magnetic susceptibility data (quantitative) was collected as an aid for logging

All drill holes were geologically logged into Geobank Mobile, followed by validation
before importing into Alkane’s central Geobank database

All drill holes were logged by qualified and experienced geologists

The total length and percentage of the relevant intersections logged

All drill holes were logged in full
Sub-sampling
techniques
and sample
preparation

If core, whether cut or sawn and whether quarter, half or all core taken.

Core sawn with half core samples submitted for analysis

If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled, rotary split, etc and whether sampled wet or
dry.

Each one metre interval is spear sampled with 3m composite samples collected in a
calico sample bag and forwarded to the laboratory. Where mineralisation is observed
by the site geologist, instead of compositing, this is individually sampled from the cone
splitter on the RC rig as a 1 metre interval into a calico bag and forwarded to the
laboratory.

The 1m intervals forming composite samples assaying ≥0.10 g/t Au or ≥0.10 % Cu are
resplit using a cone splitter on the rig during the time of drilling and re-submitted to the

pulverisers are washed with QAQC tests undertaken (ALS codes CRU-QC, PUL-QC).

Quality control procedures adopted for all sub-sampling stages to maximise
representivity of samples

Internal QAQC system in place to determine accuracy and precision of assays

Measures taken to ensure that the sampling is representative of the in situ material
collected, including for instance results for field duplicate/second-half sampling

Non-biased core cutting using an orientation line marked on the core

Duplicate RC samples are collected for both composite intervals and re-split intervals.

All samples were analysed by ALS Minerals

Gold is determined using a 50g charge fused at approximately 1100°C with alkaline
fluxes, including lead oxide. The resultant prill is dissolved in aqua regia with gold
determined by flame AAS.

Other geochemical elements, samples are digested by near-total mixed acid digest with
each element determined by ICP Atomic Emission Spectrometry or ICP Mass
Spectrometry. RC samples that are re-split are digested by aqua regia with a ICP
Atomic Emission Spectrometry for Cu only

For geophysical tools, spectrometers, handheld XRF instruments, etc, the parameters
used in determining the analysis including instrument make and model, reading times,
calibrations factors applied and their derivation, etc.

No geophysical tools were used to determine any element concentrations

Nature of quality control procedures adopted (eg standards, blanks, duplicates,
external laboratory checks) and whether acceptable levels of accuracy (ie lack of bias)
and precision have been established.

Full QAQC system in place including certified standards and blanks of appropriate
matrix and concentration levels
Verification

parties

Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other parties.

Significant historical drilling activity has been conducted within the bounds of EL4022.
BODA PROSPECT: CRA Exploration/Rio Tinto completed a small IP survey and
several reconnaissance RC holes in the Boda Prospect area in 1995. The results
identified sporadic, shallow low-grade intervals of gold mineralisation hosted within a
sequence of monzonites, diorites and intermediate volcanics. Sampling was
performed by collecting spear composites from 3m drill runs, assayed by aqua regia
digest and fire assay-AAS and ICP finishes.
Amax Mining Inc/Woodsreef Mines grid sampled the residual soil profile and analysed
for Cu, Pb and Zn. A coherent +250 ppm Cu soil anomaly was outlined with a strike
length of over 1000m and a maximum of 1.25% Cu, in the -80-mesh sieve fraction.
Grid based rock chip sampling produced up to 5.4% Cu and 42ppm Au.
KAISER PROSPECT: Under-reporting of historical exploration drill results from the
Kaiser Prospect is suggested by preliminary metallurgical test work by previous
explorers and is supported by a drill hole (KSRC001) completed by Alkane. This can
be partly explained by the partial digests and analogue equipment commonly used in
the 1970s.
EL6209 (Kaiser) historical records show 14 AC (170m), 78 RC (7591m) and 45 DD
holes (7833m) = 15,594m.
Geology
Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation.

The area is located at the northern extent of the Molong Volcanic Belt, a geological
region considered highly prospective for and host to several economically important
examples of porphyry Au-Cu mineralisation e.g. Cadia Valley alkalic porphyry cluster.
Drill hole
Information

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary

If the exclusion of this information is justified on the basis that the information is not
Material and this exclusion does not detract from the understanding of the report, the
Competent Person should clearly explain why this is the case.

All drill holes have been reported in this announcement.
Data
aggregation
methods

In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averaging techniques, maximum and/or
minimum grade truncations (eg cutting of high grades) and cut-off grades are usually
Material and should be stated.

Exploration results reported for uncut gold grades, grades calculated by length
weighted average

Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short lengths of high-grade results and longer
lengths of low grade results, the procedure used for such aggregation should be stated
and some typical examples of such aggregations should be shown in detail.

Reported intercepts are calculated using a broad lower cut of 0.1g/t Au and/or 0.05%
Cu although grades lower than this may be present internally (internal dilution).
Internal dilution can be significant because of the type of bulk mining techniques used
to extract this style of mineralisation but are limited to <16% for the purpose of
calculation.
No top cut has been used.
Short intervals of high grades that have a material impact on overall intersection are
reported as separate (included) intervals
Relationship
between
mineralisation
widths and
intercept
lengths

These relationships are particularly important in the reporting of Exploration Results.
If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect to the drill hole angle is known, its
nature should be reported
If it is not known and only the down hole lengths are reported, there should be a clear
statement to this effect (eg ‘down hole length, true width not known’).

It is apparent on the sections and the report descriptions that the overall geometry of
the porphyry mineralisation at Kaiser, Boda Two and Korridor prospects are
subvertical.
True intervals are likely to be ~50% of downhole lengths
Diagrams
Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) and tabulations of intercepts should be
included for any significant discovery being reported These should include, but not be
limited to a plan view of drill hole collar locations and appropriate sectional views.

Plans showing geology with drill collars are included in the body of the announcement.
Balanced
reporting

Where comprehensive reporting of all Exploration Results is not practicable,
representative reporting of both low and high grades and/or widths should be practiced
to avoid misleading reporting of Exploration Results.

Comprehensive reporting has been undertaken with all holes listed in the included
table.
Other
substantive
exploration
data

Other exploration data, if meaningful and material, should be reported including (but not
limited to): geological observations; geophysical survey results; geochemical survey
results; bulk samples – size and method of treatment; metallurgical test results; bulk
density, groundwater, geotechnical and rock characteristics; potential deleterious or
contaminating substances.

Recently acquired drone magnetic data is not considered meaningful enough to be
reported.
Further work
The nature and scale of planned further work (eg tests for lateral extensions or depth
extensions or large-scale step-out drilling).

It is recommended that further drilling is undertaken at the Kaiser prospect to define
resource potential at depths greater than the 100mx 100m RC drilling has identified.
Other drilling targeting Boda Two and Three and the Korridor prospects will be
undertaken within the Project. Regional exploration comprising of IP, MT and soil
geochemistry surveys are alsoplanned.
