ABOUT ALKANE ‐ www.alkane.com.au ‐ ASX: ALK
Alkane Resources intends to grow to become one of Australia’s multi-mine gold and copper producers.
The Company’s current gold production is from the Tomingley Gold Operations in Central West New South Wales, which has been operating since 2014 and has the resources to continue to operate 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 has 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 and copper production region.
Alkane’s gold interests extend throughout Australia, with strategic investments in other gold exploration and aspiring mining companies.
