Record Q2 FY26 Production and Sales Volumes
During the December 2025 quarter (Q2 FY26), Alkane reported record quarterly gold-equivalent production of 43,663 AuEq ounces, with an all-in sustaining cost (AISC) of AUD 2,739 per AuEq ounce. Production benefited from improved throughput at Tomingley and a full-quarter contribution from Costerfield and Björkdal following the Mandalay merger.

Quarterly gold-equivalent sales reached 44,084 ounces, generating revenue of AUD 256 million. The average realised gold price during the period was AUD 5,785 per ounce, while antimony prices averaged AUD 41,510 per tonne.

Cash Generation and Cost Trends
Site operating cash flow for the quarter amounted to AUD 133 million, lifting total cash, bullion, and liquid investments to AUD 246 million at quarter end. This was achieved after AUD 17 million in tax payments, with an additional AUD 18 million received in early January from a Costerfield concentrate shipment.

Group cash costs declined quarter-on-quarter to AUD 2,031 per AuEq ounce, supported by operational efficiencies across assets. Tomingley reported higher throughput and lower costs, Costerfield recorded its highest gold and antimony output to date, and Björkdal benefited from improved recoveries and consistent mining activity.

Exploration Activity and FY26 Outlook
Exploration during the quarter delivered high-grade intercepts at the Storheden project in Sweden and identified a new gold-rich domain near existing infrastructure at Tomingley. Alkane remains on track to meet its FY26 production guidance of 160–175 koz AuEq, supported by its current asset mix and balance sheet position.

With broker ratings maintaining a Buy outlook, Alkane Resources is navigating FY26 with record quarterly production, rising cash balances, and ongoing exploration activity across its operating regions. Market participants continue to monitor cost trends, commodity pricing, and execution across its diversified asset portfolio as the company progresses through the remainder of the financial year.
