AddressAbout us
Alkane Resources Ltd is one of Australia’s most successful long-term exploration and mining companies and aims to become a major multi-mine gold and copper producer. With a head office in Perth the Company’s projects and operations are primarily located in central NSW.
Alkane owns and operates the Tomingley Gold Mine, an open pit and underground gold mining operation located 50km southwest of Dubbo. This operation has a workforce of more than 250 employees and contractors and following the current expansion program being completed will be producing in excess of 100,000 ounces of gold annually.
Alkane has an enviable exploration track record and holds several highly prospective gold and copper tenements in central NSW - including the world class Boda and Kaiser deposits north of Wellington which has the potential to be a Tier 1 large-tonnage gold-copper development.
