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 of gold equivalent at all in sustaining cost of A$1,902 per ounce. The project capital cost was estimated to be A$1,783M, in 2024 dollars. The development pathway suggests that gold and copper production could commence in 2030.

In August 2025, Mandalay Resources Corporation was successfully merged into Alkane. Alkane has doubled its market capitalisation, doubled its disposable income and it has been admitted to the ASX300 group of companies. The merger could permit Alkane to self-fund the capital cost of the Boda-Kaiser Project, should it so decide.
