Highlights

  • Alkane Resources (ASX:ALK) has cleared its debt facility, leaving only standard equipment financing.

  • Exploration drilling at the El Paso prospect has delivered high-grade intersections supporting further resource growth at Tomingley.

  • Extensive exploration programs continue across Tomingley, El Paso, Westray and other key prospects in New South Wales.

Alkane Resources (ASX:ALK, OTC:ALKEF), listed within the ASX 200 index, has fully cleared its outstanding debt facility that was used for the development of the Tomingley Gold Operations in New South Wales. The repayment has been completed from internal cash resources, leaving the company substantively free from external debt obligations apart from equipment-related financing.

Exploration Advancements at Tomingley

Recent drilling at the El Paso prospect, part of the Tomingley Gold Project, has confirmed multiple zones of mineralisation. Diamond core drilling across dacite units has revealed strong results consistent with geological features seen in nearby deposits, providing indications of further extension of mineralised systems within the area.

In addition to core drilling, reverse circulation drilling has validated the presence of gold-bearing structures along the Tomingley corridor. These intersections highlight continuity in mineralisation across the region and confirm the geological model underpinning exploration at Tomingley.

Wider Exploration Programs

Extensive air-core drilling has been conducted to identify anomalies across multiple zones, including El Paso and Westray. These programs have highlighted new areas of interest that are now scheduled for deeper follow-up drilling in the coming period. The exploration team continues to map extensions of mineralisation, supported by geophysical surveys and soil sampling campaigns.

Further underground drilling programs are underway across key areas including McLeans, Roswell North and the Roswell Western Monzodiorite. These programs are designed to test continuity of mineralisation at depth and support ongoing mine life planning for the Tomingley operations.

Next Steps in Development

Over the coming year, Alkane Resources will continue with drilling, mapping, and magnetic surveys across Tomingley Two, Glen Isla, Westray and El Paso. These exploration activities are part of a comprehensive program designed to expand the resource base across the Tomingley region and extend operational planning for the project.
