Central West Region
Location and Business Strate gy Multi commodity explorer and miner, focussed in the Central West of New South Wales, Australia Region with substantial existing infrastructure Dubbo Zirconia Project – world class resource of zirconium, hafnium, niobium, tantalum, yttrium and rare earths Gold production from Peak Hill mine 1996 – 2005. New gold development planned at Tomingley based upon 650,000 oz resource Major gold discovery at McPhillamys (~3 million oz) Joint Venture with Newmont Develop multiple operations within tight geographic area over next five years. New discoveries at Cudal (Au-Zn) , Bodangora (Au-Cu) and Galwadgere (Cu-Au)

DZP Flow Sheet
Whole of ore sulphuric acid
leach, solvent extraction
separation and refining, with
chemical precipitation to
produce final products.
Unique in the world today.
The process does not produce
a mineral concentrate and does
not concentrate the uranium
and thorium.
These waste products are
neutralised and dispersed in
the residue storage facilities at
less concentration than in the
primary deposit.

20% shortfall by 2020
Zircon prices have
escalated during
2010 and 2011 to

Zircon price and supply will have a major impact on the cost and availability of zirconium
chemicals, zirconia and zirconium metal. China and Japan have declared zirconium a

The DZP is a long term project with strategic significance in the zirconium and heavy rare earth industr es, ani d can generate substant a casi l h flows.
Production costs are spread across the four metal outputs – zirconium, niobium (tantalum), light rare earths and yttrium-heavy rare earths will insulate the DZP . from unforeseen price instability in certain sectors
The TGP provides cash flow insurance against any possible development delay for the DZP, and possible slow down in world growth. It also has upside in mine life.
The tight geographical focus and existing exploration success, provides Alkane with long term development potential and increasing profits.
Alkane is a long term investment opportunity with a clear development strategy of multiple operations and substantial cash flow, and capacity to pay dividends.
