Market capitalisation

AUD302m

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.

Our valuation of Alkane continues to be underpinned by Tomingley (A$0.60/share). Combined, we value Boda and Kaiser at A$0.40-0.50/share as an in-situ resource or A$0.45/share as a producing asset. In addition, Alkane has a number of ‘contingent assets’ dependent on future exploration success, which we estimate could add a further A$0.53/share to its valuation. Finally, valuing its assets at current metals prices takes the total to A$2.95/share.
