Kaiser Development
In July 2024, Alkane released the Boda-Kaiser Project Scoping Study. It estimated that 370Mt of ore could be extracted and treated from Boda and Kaiser open pits. Proportionally, this would include 154Mt of Kaiser ore. Three feasible annual ore treatment rates were considered, and it was concluded that 20Mt per annum would be the most economically favourable. This would produce an annual average of approximately 225,000 ounces gold equivalent at all in sustaining cost of A$1,902 per ounce. The project capital cost is estimated to be A$1,783M, in 2024 dollars. The development pathway suggests that gold and copper production could commence in 2030.
