Alkane Resources is an Australian gold production, development and exploration company with projects and operations in Central West NSW. The company holds several highly prospective gold and copper tenements in the region.

Current gold production is from Tomingley Gold Operations, an open pit and underground gold mine southwest of Dubbo with extensive resources. Alkane continues to advance gold exploration projects in the tenement areas around Tomingley.

Alkane’s Boda-Kaiser Project, located north of Wellington, is founded on two large, gold-copper porphyry resources with potential to support a long-term, bulk-tonnage development. Ongoing regional exploration indicates it may lie within a broader gold-copper province.
