7 terms
ebitda financial
"Record Cash Generation: EBITDA was $161 million with Cash Generated from Operating Activities..."
EBITDA stands for earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization. It measures a company's profitability by focusing on the money it makes from its core operations, ignoring expenses like taxes and accounting adjustments. Investors use EBITDA to compare how well different companies are performing financially, as it provides a clearer picture of operational success without the influence of financial structure or accounting choices.
View in glossary
cash operating cost financial
"Cash operating costs per ounce of gold equivalent produced were $2,037 in Q3 2026..."
Cash operating cost is the regular, out-of-pocket money a business spends to keep its core operations running, such as wages, fuel, materials and routine supplies, excluding one-time charges, interest, taxes and accounting-only items like depreciation. For investors, it shows the real, recurring cost to produce goods or services—similar to tracking your monthly grocery and utility bills to know how much it truly costs to run your household—and helps assess profit margins and free cash flow.
all-in sustaining cost financial
"All-in sustaining costs per ounce of gold equivalent produced were $2,928 in Q3 2026..."
All-in sustaining cost (AISC) is a per-unit measure that shows the full, ongoing cost to produce a commodity, typically an ounce of metal, including direct mining costs, sustaining capital (ongoing equipment and mine upkeep), royalties, and general overhead. For investors it matters because AISC reveals the durable earning power and true profit margin of a producer—like calculating the total monthly cost to own and operate a car to judge whether selling rides is profitable over time.
non-ifrs performance measures financial
"Gold equivalent ounce, cash operating cost and all-in sustaining cost (AISC) are non-IFRS performance measures..."
Financial metrics companies present alongside their official accounting results that are not defined by IFRS rules, such as adjusted earnings or EBITDA, intended to show performance after removing items management considers one-time, non-cash, or not reflective of ongoing operations. Investors use these measures to spot underlying trends—like comparing a player's cleaned-up statistics—but they can vary by company and require scrutiny alongside audited figures and clear explanations.
gold equivalent ounces technical
"Gold equivalent ounces calculated by multiplying quantities of gold and antimony in period..."
Gold equivalent ounces express the combined output or reserves of a mine by converting other metals (like silver, copper or zinc) into the amount of gold they would be worth at current market prices, so everything is shown as a single “gold” number. For investors this provides a common yardstick to compare production, value and growth across projects that produce multiple metals—like converting several currencies into one familiar money unit.
recovery technical
"Recovery gold (%) | 90.11 | 89.84 | 85.78"
Recovery is the process by which something returns to a healthier, more normal state after a setback—this can mean a company regaining sales and profits, an economy lifting out of a downturn, or a patient improving after illness. For investors, recovery matters because it signals that future cash flows, asset values, and risk levels may improve; like a wounded athlete getting back to form, a successful recovery increases the chance of better performance and higher returns.
all-in sustaining costs financial
"All-in sustaining costs per ounce were previously calculated based on ounces sold."
All-in sustaining costs (AISC) is a per-unit measure used mainly in the mining sector that captures the full ongoing cost to produce a unit of metal, including operating expenses, sustaining capital (maintenance of current operations), and a share of corporate overhead and site-level costs. Investors use AISC to judge whether production generates real profit and sustainable cash flow—think of it as the total monthly household cost to keep a home running, not just the utility bill.

________________________________
1 Gold equivalent ounces calculated by multiplying quantities of gold and antimony in period by respective average market price of commodities in period, adding the two amounts to get ‘total contained value based on market price’ and dividing that total contained value by the average market price of gold in period. I.e., AuEq = ((Au Produced x Au $/oz) + (Sb Produced pre-payability x 70% payability x Sb $/t)) / (Au $/oz). Average market prices for gold and antimony sourced respectively from LMBA daily PM price (www.lmba.org.uk) and Shanghai Metal Market Price (www.metal.com). Average market prices for the March quarter were A$7,015/oz Au and A$29,449/t Sb. For the December quarter, the average market prices were A$6,299/oz Au and A$30,245/t Sb and for the September quarter were A$5,382/oz Au and A$33,859/t Sb using an AUD: USD exchange rate of 0.6946, 0.6565 and 0.6544 respectively. Gold equivalent ounce, cash operating cost and all-in sustaining cost (AISC) are non-IFRS performance measures with no standard definition under IFRS. For more details refer to the Non-IFRS Performance Measures section at the end of this press release.
2 As the merger with Mandalay Resources completed on 5 August 2025, Alkane’s FY2026 statutory reported production reflects production from Costerfield and Björkdal only from that date. See ALK announcement dated 9 Sep 2025 and titled ‘Alkane Announces Financial Year 2026 Guidance’.

2 Cash operating costs and All-in sustaining costs per ounce were previously calculated based on ounces sold. Since Q1 2026, the calculation methodology has been revised to use ounces produced instead of ounces sold. Accordingly, the comparative figures for the previous quarter have been restated.
 

Revenue for Q3 2026 was $274.4 million, compared to $63.2 million in Q3 2025. The increase in revenue was mainly due to increased production and gold sales following the addition of Costerfield and Björkdal to the portfolio, combined with higher realised gold prices.

Operating costs excluding depreciation and amortisation totaled $114.0 million during Q3 2026, compared to $39.3 million in Q3 2025 with the increase mainly reflecting the larger Company following the combination with Mandalay (Costerfield $28.0 million and Björkdal $33.8 million).

Cash operating costs per ounce of gold equivalent produced were $2,037 in Q3 2026 compared to $2,037 in Q3 2025. Tomingley´s cash operating costs per ounce of gold during the quarter were $2,021 compared to $2,037 in Q3 2025, a slight decrease due to increase in produced ounces of gold, this was partly offset by higher operational costs, mainly due to higher processing costs which include the costs for the rental mobile crusher.

Sustaining capital amounted to $24.3 million in Q3 2026, compared to $7.0 million in Q3 2025. The increase in sustaining capital was mainly due the addition of $19.0 million of capital expenditures following the combination with Mandalay (Björkdal and Costerfield at $14.5 million and $4.6 million respectively) of which $7.1 million was underground capital development at Björkdal. Additionally, capital required to maintain stable production at both acquired operations included ongoing equipment replacements totalling $9.5 million.

All-in sustaining costs per ounce of gold equivalent produced were $2,928 in Q3 2026, compared to $2,590 in Q3 2025. The AISC per ounce at Tomingley decreased to $2,444 for the quarter from $2,590 in Q3 2025, mainly due to the aforementioned increased gold production and offsetting increased cash operating costs coupled with lower sustaining capital expenditures.

Total capital expenditure during Q3 2026 of $46.9 million, compared to $13.1 million in Q3 2025. The capital expenditure during the quarter included $10 million investment in growth projects, mainly at Tomingley for the Newell Highway realignment. This project is due for completion in the first half of 2027. The major item of spend in the comparative quarter (Q3 2025) was underground capital development, underground truck refurbishments and a wheel loader replacement at Tomingley. During the quarter, $12.5 million of investment in exploration drilling was made, $6.6 million at Costerfield, $2.8 million at Björkdal and $3.0 million of non-operation exploratory drilling in NSW.

Free cash flow in Q3 2026 was $127.6 million compared to $7.7 million in Q3 2025.

Alkane generated EBITDA of $161.2 million in the third quarter of 2026 compared to $20.8 million in the third quarter of 2025.

Consolidated net profit was $93.0 million for the third quarter of 2026, versus $8.1 million profit in the third quarter of 2025.

Alkane closed the quarter with cash, bullion and liquid investments of $374 million – comprising $328 million in total cash, bullion ($34 million) and liquid investments ($12 million). This increased cash balance was driven by sales of 43,373 gold equivalent ounces at record realised gold price of $6,315/oz (Q2 2026: $5,785/oz) and a realised antimony price of $34,394/t (Q2 2026: $42,488/t) generating $274 million in revenue.

Consolidated gold equivalent production in Q3 2026 was 45,776 ounces compared to 17,657 ounces in Q3 2025, mainly due to the addition of production from Björkdal and Costerfield following the combination with Mandalay in Q1 2026. The Q3 2026 result is based upon 21,652 ounces of gold production from Tomingley, 12,433 ounces of gold production from Björkdal and 11,691 ounces of gold equivalent production (consisting of 10,584 ounces of gold and 377 tonnes of antimony from Costerfield).

Cash operating costs per ounce of gold equivalent produced were $2,037 in Q3 2026 compared to $2,037 in Q3 2025 and All-in sustaining costs per ounce of gold equivalent produced were $2,928 in Q3 2026, compared to $2,590 in Q3 2025.

Tomingley Gold Operations - NSW (Tomingley)
Tomingley Gold Operations Pty Ltd (100%)

The primary source of ore continues to be from Roswell. Underground Ore mined was slightly below plan primarily due to stope performance issues on several stopes requiring rework, however this was off-set by higher development ore tonnages.

Processing continues to perform well with milling exceeding plan primarily as a result of the insertion of a mobile crusher to pre-crush material prior to entering the processing circuit. Mill grade was above plan and recovery was in line with expectations. Pre-crushing of material to different sizes prior to entering the circuit continues and has seen a nominal increase in milling rates to approximately 1.3mtpa, work continues in this area.

A total of 21,652 ounces of gold was produced for the quarter, higher than the comparative quarter (17,657 ounces of gold) due to higher throughput and mill head grades. The increase in processed ore was mainly due to the usage of a mobile crusher which is used to increase crushing capacity resulting in an increased mill throughput. The betterment of the mill head grade was mainly due to the commissioning of the paste plant and process plant (fine grind circuit) growth projects during 2025.

Cash operating costs per ounce of gold during the quarter were $2,021 compared to $2,037 in Q3 2025, a slight decrease due to increase in produced ounces of gold, this was partly offset by higher operational costs, mainly due to higher processing costs which include the costs for the rental mobile crusher.

The AISC per ounce decreased to $2,444 for the quarter from $2,590 in Q3 2025, mainly due to the aforementioned increased gold production and offsetting increased cash operating costs coupled with lower sustaining capital expenditures.

Gold sold for the quarter was 18,949 ounces at an average sales price of $5,096/oz, generating revenue of $96.6 million. Bullion stocks were 8,599 ounces.

Costerfield Gold-Antimony Operations - Victoria (Costerfield)
Mandalay Resources Costerfield Operations Pty Ltd (100%)

Costerfield delivered steady operational performance during the quarter, with both ore mining and milling rates exceeding planned rates. Costerfield had strong mining performance in terms of tonnes mined for the quarter, however grades were different to those aimed for, despite complying reasonably well with forecast mining advance per area each month. Some mined areas did not perform as well as expected in forecast models due to grade variability.

The operation continues to work on targeted improvement programs including drill and blast optimisation, capital development optimisation, enhanced operator training, and the transition to emulsion explosives to improve recovery and reduce dilution.

Processing continued to focus on blend control to maximise throughput, recoveries and produced metal. Successful trials occurred during the quarter with respect to pre-crushing ore feed and screening lower grade ore stockpiles to further improve throughput, crusher downtime and blend control. Work will continue in this area in Q4. Processing operations performed reliably, with higher mill throughput supported by successful pre-crushing trials. Continuous optimisation of blending and recovery remains a focus. Work continues to prioritise operational consistency across all aspects of the operation.

A total of 11,691 gold equivalent ounces was produced during the quarter (Q2 2026: 11,686 AuEq oz). The site cash costs for the quarter were $1,597/AuEq oz (Q2 2026: $1,701/AuEq oz) with an AISC of $2,521/AuEq oz (Q2 2026: $2,149/AuEq oz). Gold sold for the quarter was 11,367 ounces at an average sales price of $7,204/oz and antimony sold for the quarter was 280 tonnes (165 tonnes post payability) at an average sales price of $34,394/t, generating revenue of $87.6 million.

Björkdal Gold Operations - Sweden (Björkdal)
Björkdalsgruvan AB (100%)

Björkdal delivered another quarter of consistent mining performance. Resources were allocated to capital development activities in preference to operating development in some areas. Mined grade was in line with planned grades, with a higher mining contribution from below the marble mining area.

Mill throughput increased slightly and recoveries also improved as compared to the previous quarter, albeit in line with increased head grade. During the quarter a trial of processing a parcel of off-site ore from a small mine to the west of Björkdal was successfully conducted.

A total of 12,433 gold ounces was produced during the quarter (Q2 2026: 9,888oz). The site cash costs for the quarter were $2,506/oz (Q2 2026: $2,910/oz) with an AISC of $3,699/oz (Q2 2026: $4,117/oz). Gold sold for the quarter was 12,234 ounces at an average sales price of $7,376/oz, generating revenue of $90.2 million.

Non-IFRS Performance Measures

Investors should be aware that financial data in this press release includes Non-IFRS performance measures under Regulatory Guide 230 Disclosing Non-IFRS Financial Information published by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission and Non-GAAP performance measures within the meaning of National Instrument 52-112 – Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures Disclosure published by the Canadian Securities Administrators. This press release may contain references to adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net profit, free cash flow, cash operating cost per ounce of gold equivalent produced and all-in sustaining cost all of which are Non-IFRS/Non-GAAP performance measures and do not have standardised meanings under IFRS. Therefore, these measures may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers.

Management uses EBITDA and free cash flow as measures of operating performance to assist in assessing the Company’s ability to generate liquidity through operating cash flow in order to fund future working capital needs and to fund future capital expenditures, as well as in measuring financial performance from period to period on a consistent basis. The Company believes that these measures are used by and are useful to investors and other users of the Company’s financial statements in evaluating the Company’s operating and cash performance because they allow for analysis of its financial results without regard to special, non-cash and other non-core items, which can vary substantially from company to company and over different periods.

The Company defines EBITDA as net profit before interest and finance charges, taxes, amortisation and depreciation. A reconciliation between EBITDA and net profit is included in the MD&A.

The Company defines free cash flow as a measure of the Company’s ability to generate and manage liquidity. It is calculated starting with the net cash flows from operating activities (as per IFRS) and then subtracting capital expenditures and lease payments. Refer to “Non-IFRS Financial Performance Measures” section of the MD&A for a reconciliation between free cash flow and net cash flows from operating activities.

For Costerfield, gold equivalent ounces are calculated by multiplying quantities of gold and antimony in the period by respective average market price of commodities in period, adding the two amounts to get ‘total contained value based on market price’ and dividing that total contained value by the average market price of gold in period. I.e., Gold equivalent = ((Au Produced x Au $/oz) + (Sb Produced pre-payability x 70% payability x Sb $/t)) / (Au $/oz). The average market price for gold is the average of the daily PM price, sourced from www.lbma.org.uk. and the average market price for antimony is the average Shanghai Metal Market Price sourced from www.metal.com. The cash operating cost excludes royalty expenses. Site all-in sustaining costs include total cash operating costs, sustaining mining capital, royalty expense and accretion of reclamation provision. Sustaining capital reflects the capital required to maintain each site’s current level of operations. The site’s all-in sustaining cost per ounce of gold equivalent in a period equals the all-in sustaining cost divided by the equivalent gold ounces produced in the period.

For Björkdal and Tomingley, the total cash operating cost associated with the production of gold ounces produced in the period is then divided by the gold ounces produced to yield the cash operating cost per gold ounce produced. The cash operating cost excludes royalty expenses. Site all-in sustaining costs include total cash operating costs, sustaining mining capital, royalty expense and accretion of reclamation provision. Sustaining capital reflects the capital required to maintain each site’s current level of operations. The site’s all-in sustaining cost per ounce of gold in a period equals the all-in sustaining cost divided by the gold ounces produced in the period.

For the Company as a whole, cash operating cost per gold equivalent ounce is calculated by summing the gold equivalent ounces produced by each site and dividing the total by the sum of cash operating costs at the sites. Consolidated cash operating cost excludes royalty and corporate level general and administrative expenses. All-in sustaining cost per ounce gold equivalent in the period equals the sum of cash operating costs associated with the production of gold equivalent ounces at all operating sites in the period plus corporate overhead expense in the period plus sustaining mining capital, royalty expense, and accretion of reclamation provision, divided by the total gold equivalent ounces produced in the period. A reconciliation between cost of sales and cash operating costs, and also cash operating cost to all-in sustaining costs are included in the MD&A.
