Alkane Resources Limited
Alkane Resources produces gold from its Tomingley Gold Operations in New South Wales and gold-antimony from its Costerfield mine in Victoria, alongside the Björkdal gold mine in Sweden following its 2025 merger with Mandalay Resources; the group delivered FY26 production guidance with record cashflow, proposed a maiden dividend, fully repaid its Tomingley expansion debt facility, and held roughly A$432 million in cash with no material debt.

Lifecycle Milestones
Construction Milestones
5 of 5 reached- Jul 2023 · Alkane's Tomingley Gold Extension Project (Roswell underground + San Antonio open pit, extending mine life to 2032) received its Mining Lease, following NSW Ministerial planning approval Feb 21, 2023. · Source
- Feb 2023 · Alkane announced NSW Government approval of the Tomingley Gold Extension Project together with project financing secured, effectively greenlighting construction. · Source
- Reached — date not disclosed · Per Alkane's own '10 Years at Tomingley' history page: construction of the original Tomingley processing plant and infrastructure was completed on-time and on-budget between the February 2013 mining-lease grant and the February 14, 2014 first gold pour. No release pinpointing when construction itself began (as distinct from the lease grant or the plant's completion) was found -- recorded reached-but-undated rather than inventing a date. · Source
- Reached — date not disclosed · The original Tomingley Gold Mine began mining operations January 2014 and produced its first gold bar February 2014, after a February 2013 mining-lease grant. Exact day not found in available sourcing. · Source
- Reached — date not disclosed · Genuinely reached, but no single company-wide commercial-production date exists: Alkane now operates three mines -- Tomingley (NSW, legacy Alkane), Costerfield (Victoria) and Bjorkdal (Sweden), the latter two added via the merger with Mandalay Resources Corporation that closed 2025-08-05 (the company's legal name and ASX listing did not change through that merger). Each mine reached commercial production independently, at different times, under different corporate histories -- production was already ongoing at every site before the merger closed. Its Q3 FY26 quarterly report (quarter ended 2026-03-31) reports record quarterly gold-equivalent production of 45,776 AuEq oz across all three mines. Note the company is now a broader gold-plus-antimony producer (Costerfield produces antimony) rather than gold-only. This row was missing entirely prior to 2026-08-21 -- a genuine data gap, not a stage error; Miner.stage was already correctly PRODUCTION. · Source
Milestones are recorded only from a company's own dated disclosure. A milestone with no date shown is one we can confirm was reached but for which no date was disclosed — we don't estimate one. "Not yet reached" means exactly that, not that a date is missing. An "Expected" line likewise only ever reflects the company's own guidance (e.g. a study or permit decision targeted for a stated quarter) — most not-yet-reached milestones have none, and that absence means no such guidance has been disclosed, not that one is overdue.
A relative ranking of how closely this company matches the profile of juniors that have actually been acquired — not a probability, and not a reason to buy. Acquisitions are rare: only a few dozen significant deals happen a year across a universe of thousands of juniors, so even a high score here describes a long shot. The strongest signal the underlying research identifies — whether a major already holds a JV, earn-in, or 5–19.9% strategic stake — isn't tracked yet and is absent from this score.

Management Team
Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Alkane Resources Limited, joined as Chief Operations Officer Aug 2013, appointed Managing Director 1 Sep 2017. Career: senior role, Straits Resources Ltd (renamed Aeris Resources Limited in 2015) -- the same real company Bruce Mowat (RSG, also covered this same batch) separately worked at as Chief Geologist; Rio Tinto Coal Australia's Mount Thorley Warkworth coal mine; BHP/WMC Resources' Olympic Dam copper-uranium-gold operations. During his tenure as MD, the Dubbo Project was de-merged into Australian Strategic Materials Limited (ASX: ASM, non-executive director 2017-2025), Tomingley's mine life extension was approved, the Boda-Kaiser Project advanced from discovery to scoping study, and Alkane transformed into a mid-tier producer via a merger with Mandalay Resources.
Chief Financial Officer of Alkane Resources Limited. CPA and corporate governance professional with 20+ years' experience in the mining industry, has held CFO roles for the past 15 years across a number of publicly listed mining companies (specific company names not confirmed to a primary-source standard despite this pass's research -- an honest gap rather than a fabricated one), with experience in debt/equity capital markets transactions, IPOs, treasury management, tax strategy, M&A and corporate governance.
Insiders, Investors & Smart Money
Notable shareholders and insiders whose involvement is worth knowing about, plus what we're seeing from institutional/large-investor activity.
The dominant fact on Alkane's register is an exit, not an entry. CE Mining III, the private equity fund that became a major holder when Alkane merged with Mandalay Resources in August 2025, has sold about 78 million shares in four months -- roughly 25 million in March 2026 alone. Ian Gandel separately sold 24 million shares across four holding companies on a single day in October 2025, and another director sold three times. Specialist gold funds do appear on the register, but they are small and our figures for them date from 2020-2021. One director, Denise McComish, bought 62,000 shares in January 2026.

Reports, Presentations & Documents
FLAG (Task #387, same shape as the AAUC/RSG/SRB multi-project pattern): this miner's own projectName field already lists THREE separate, geographically distinct operations -- Tomingley Gold Operations (NSW), Costerfield (VIC), and Björkdal (Sweden) -- each with its own mine plan and economics. No single whole-company NPV/IRR/mine-life figure combining all three was found, and combining them into this schema's single-project dcfNpvUsd/irrPct/mineLifeYears fields would conflate three unrelated mines' economics into one misleading number. Left null and flagged for Task #387's tracking list rather than guessed or arbitrarily assigned to one of the three projects.
