¹ Gold equivalent ounces calculated by multiplying quantities of gold and antimony in period by respective average market price of commodities in period, adding the two amounts to get “total contained value based on market price,” and dividing total contained value by average market price of gold in period. I.e., AuEq = ((Au Produced x Au $/oz) + (Sb Produced pre-payability x 70% payability x Sb $/t)) / (Au $/oz). Average market prices for gold and antimony sourced respectively from LMBA daily PM price (www.lmba.org.uk) and Shanghai Metal Market Price (www.metal.com). Average market prices for June quarter were A$6,349/oz Au and A$30,675/t Sb, March quarter were A$7,015/oz Au and A$29,449/t Sb, average market prices for December quarter were A$6,299/oz Au and A$30,245/t Sb and for September quarter A$5,283/oz Au and A$33,508/t Sb using an AUD: USD exchange rate of 0.7098, 0.6946, 0.6565 and 0.6544 respectively.
² Group YTD Production calculated on basis of 100% contribution from Tomingley, Costerfield and Björkdal for relevant period. As the merger with Mandalay Resources completed on 5 August 2025, Alkane’s FY2026 statutory reported production will reflect production from Costerfield and Björkdal only from that date. See ALK announcement dated 9 Sep 2025 and titled ‘Alkane Announces Financial Year 2026 Guidance’. This announcement dated 9 Sep 2025 defines the calculation of Au Eq ounces and the definition of Group Guidance. Production guidance on a statutory reported basis (‘Attributable Guidance’) is 155,000 – 168,000 AuEq ounces for FY2026. Note AISC is a non-IFRS measure and does not have a standardised meaning under IFRS and might not be comparable to similar financial measures disclosed by other companies.
