Alkane updates its FY2024 Guidance for its Tomingley Gold Operations in central west New South Wales to between 55,000oz to 58,000oz Au at an AISC of A$2,150/oz to $2,350/oz.
Tomingley produced 49,158oz of gold for the 11 months to 31 May 2024.
Alkane Managing Director, Nic Earner, said: “Tomingley is starting to deliver from the Roswell underground. The Roswell ramp-up has not been sufficiently rapid for us to meet our original FY24 guidance, particularly given the recovery issues experienced in February from a discrete mining area in Caloma Two, as highlighted in our March quarterly report.
“Tomingley is now performing well, and the paste plant and flotation circuit upgrades remain on schedule. We look forward to releasing our updated Tomingley 5-year plan shortly.”
