Market capitalisation

AUD260m

Alkane Resources has two main assets in Central West New South Wales: the Tomingley gold mine, where recent exploration has increased the mine life by at least eight years, from FY23 to FY31, and its Northern Molong Porphyry project, which is shaping up to be a tier 1 alkalic porphyry district.

In the wake of the Boda-Kaiser scoping study, we value Tomingley (plus cash) at A$0.30/share plus a further A$0.40–0.50/share for Boda-Kaiser as a resource or A$0.43/share for it as a producing asset (risked to its current stage of development). In addition, we estimate that ongoing exploration could add a further A$0.51/share to Alkane’s valuation, while performing all valuations at current metals prices raises the total to A$1.81/share.

Financials

Alkane has announced the results of a scoping study on the Boda-Kaiser project and an updated five-year plan at Tomingley. The Boda-Kaiser scoping study posited a 20Mtpa processing operation producing an average of 225koz gold equivalent (AuE) for 17 years at an AISC of US$1,268/oz and a capital cost of US$1,337m to generate a pre-tax NPV(7%) of US$1,206m and a pre-tax internal rate of return of 24.0%. Assuming mining tax at 30%, we estimate this translates into a post-tax NPV (7%) of US$697m, or US$1.16/share or A$1.72/share on an unrisked basis.
