Our penultimate presenter for this session is Nic Earner, managing director of Alkane Resources. Nic is a chemical engineer with extensive executive experience in mining and processing. During his time leading Alkane, the company has demerged the separately listed Australian Strategic Materials, extended the mine life of the Tomingley gold mine and progressed the landmark Boda-Kaiser project from discovery to scoping study. Alkane has just completed a merger with Mandalay Resources and Nic will continue as the MD and CEO of that combined company. Thanks, Nic.

Key Quotes (2)

“If we look back at the last 12 months, three mines, Costerfield in Victoria, Tomingley in New South Wales and Bjorkdal in Sweden. Taking the antimony at Costerfield making gold equivalent, we did 161,000 ounces between us. We're going to do more than that this year. If you look at our market cap, just pro forma today, then we're just approaching a billion Australian dollars. If you add Mandalay's ”

“I think one of the things I really want to stress is that the federal minister's decision on McPhillamys certainly didn't help me as I marketed through North America last year, but what people miss is that was a federal government decision. The New South Wales government had approved that mine. The New South Wales government has approved our mine extension. We went through the whole review process”

About Nic Earner

Nic Earner, Managing Director and CEO of Alkane Resources, has been presenting the company's operational and strategic outlook at investor conferences and virtual roadshows. He discussed the company's three operating mines—Tomingley in New South Wales, Costerfield in Victoria, and Björkdal in Sweden—and its Boda-Kaiser copper-gold development project. Earner noted that Alkane produced approximately 169,000 gold-equivalent ounces in FY2026 and guided to 163,000–177,000 ounces for FY2027. He described capital allocation priorities, including over A$150 million in spending on mine development and infrastructure, and stated that the company aims to reduce all-in sustaining costs, particularly at Björkdal, while returning capital to shareholders. Earner also addressed the company's growth strategy, including the 2025 merger with Mandalay Resources that established the TSX listing, and ongoing work at Boda-Kaiser, which he described as a "sleeping giant." He said the company is evaluating merger and acquisition opportunities that are complementary and accretive, while acknowledging challenges in finding suitable targets. He emphasized Alkane's record of delivering on stated commitments and expressed confidence in the company's ability to sustain cash flow and pursue further growth through development and M&A.
