GROUP SUMMARY STATUTORY REPORTING PERIOD^1,2

Gold-Antimony Production

Alkane produced 40,949 ounces of gold and 456 tonnes of antimony in Q4 FY26, resulting in a Group quarterly production of 42,491 gold equivalent ounces (Q3 FY26: 45,776 AuEq oz) at an AISC of $3,011/AuEq oz (Q3 FY26: $2,928/AuEq oz)¹.

Production during the quarter was lower than Q3 FY26, driven by normal, planned, grade variation across the group.

Alkane processed 693,607 tonnes of ore in total at an average gold grade of 2.07g/t Au producing 40,949oz of gold. Tomingley processed 325,689 tonnes of ore with an average gold grade of 2.27g/t. At Costerfield, the average grade of gold was 9.32g/t, and the average grade of antimony was 1.40%, with 36,441 tonnes of ore processed. Björkdal processed 331,477 tonnes of ore with an average gold grade of 1.08g/t.

Revenue

Gold equivalent sales for the quarter of 47,411 ounces¹ (Q3 FY26: 43,373 AuEq oz) for revenue of $257 million (Q3 FY26: $275 million) at an average gold price of $5,442/oz (Q3 FY26: $6,330/oz) and an average antimony price of $24,276/t (Q3 FY26: $34,394/t). The decrease in revenue was mainly due to the lower realised gold price as compared to the previous quarter. Revenue from Tomingley includes 8,500 ounces delivered into forward contracts at $2,870/oz.

Björkdal´s and Costerfield´s average realised gold price at $5,462/oz and $6,160/oz respectively, is a simple average for the quarter of revenue divided by ounces sold for the quarter. Sales revenue for the quarter at these operations include adjustments to provisionally priced concentrate sales, which are then revalued at each reporting date (by using the current market price at the end of each reporting period). Metal prices decreased during the quarter, leading to negative provisional pricing adjustments of $6 million at Björkdal and $4 million at Costerfield.

Operating Costs, Cash Operating Costs per Gold Equivalent Ounce Produced, All-In Sustaining Costs (“AISC”) per Gold Equivalent Ounce Produced and Capital Expenditures

Group AISC was $3,011/AuEq oz¹ for the quarter and group cash costs were $2,346/AuEq oz for the quarter. These were higher than Q3 FY26 AISC of $2,928/AuEq oz and operating cash costs of $2,037/AuEq oz, primarily due to overall lower feed grades compared to Q3. This combined with externally influenced price increases pushed the FY26 AISC just above the top end of guidance.

Total operational sustaining, growth and exploration capital expenditure during Q4 FY26 was $52 million.

Sustaining capital was ~$21 million. This included $9 million for capital development across the sites and $4 million for mobile equipment rebuilds and purchases at Tomingley and Costerfield.

Growth capital of ~$20 million includes $8 million for the Newell Highway realignment at Tomingley (due for completion in the first half of CY 2027) and $5 million for tailings storage facility construction at Björkdal.

Exploration expenditure of ~$11 million was split between $8 million at Costerfield and $3 million at Björkdal and Tomingley. At Costerfield, exploration expenditure was primarily focused on the Brunswick South infill drilling program, with supplementary programs completed at True Blue and Kendal North. At Björkdal, spending was distributed between the Storheden drilling campaign and extension drilling targeting areas adjacent to the current mine. At Tomingley, expenditure was directed towards drill testing programs within the mining licence and along the broader regional trend.

OPERATIONS AND PROJECTS

Tomingley Gold Operations - NSW
Tomingley Gold Operations Pty Ltd (100%)

Tomingley Gold Operations (Tomingley) is a wholly owned operation of Alkane, located near the village of Tomingley, approximately 50km southwest of Dubbo in Central Western New South Wales. Tomingley has been operating since 2014. Mining occurs underground on four gold deposits (Wyoming One, Caloma One, Caloma Two and Roswell).

Operations Performance

The primary source of ore continues to be from Roswell. Underground Ore mined was above plan at 392,323t which is a quarterly record. Multiple ore sources and mass firings contributed.

Processing continues to perform well with milling exceeding plan primarily because of the continued use of a mobile crusher to pre-crush material prior to entering the processing circuit. Mill grade was above plan and recovery was under forecast. The main reason for the lower than forecast result is reduced leach residence time from the increased throughput combined with some downtime on individual CIL tanks periodically throughout the quarter. Pre-crushing of material to different sizes prior to entering the circuit continues and has seen an increase in milling rates to approximately 1.3mtpa, work continues in this area to optimise product sizing to optimise throughput.

Tomingley set new records for annual ounce production, mined ore tonnes from underground and mill throughput for Financial Year 2026.

A total of 20,896 ounces of gold was produced for the quarter (Q3 FY26: 21,652oz). The site cash costs for the quarter were $2,227/oz (Q3 FY26: $2,021/oz ) with an AISC of $2,481/oz (Q3 FY26: $2,444/oz).² Gold sold for the quarter was 24,924 ounces at an average sales price of $5,131/oz, generating revenue of $128 million. Bullion stocks totalled 1,156 ounces, valued at $7 million using the closing price at quarter end. The site’s operating cash flow was $76 million for the quarter.

Work continued on the Newell Highway diversion during the quarter with continued good progression of offline works, although some time was lost because of wet weather. Work commenced on the 'northern tie-in' of the offline works and current alignment during the quarter.

Tomingley Gold Operations San Antonio to Caloma

Exploration

Exploration drilling at Tomingley for the quarter has focused on prospective targets both near mine and regionally. The northern extension of Caloma was tested as well as the potential southern extension to the Roswell deposit. Drilling was also commenced testing the areas between the Roswell and Wyoming One deposits.

Further from the mine exploration continued to work up regional targets in the surrounding exploration licenses, as well as drilling on the Mining Leases testing the Wyoming Three deposit and other near mine targets. The regional drilling targets being progressed include the Patons, Tomingley One and Two, Peak Hill and Glen Isla prospects.

Costerfield Gold-Antimony Operations - Victoria

Mandalay Resources Costerfield Operations Pty Ltd (100%)

Costerfield Gold-Antimony Operations (Costerfield) is a wholly owned operation of Alkane. Costerfield is located within the Costerfield mining district of Central Victoria, Australia, approximately 10 km northeast of the town of Heathcote and 50 km east of the city of Bendigo.

The property encompasses the underground infrastructure supporting the Augusta, Cuffley, Brunswick, Youle and Shepherd deposits; the Augusta Mine Site (Augusta), the Brunswick Processing Plant; the Splitters Creek Evaporation Facility; the Brunswick and Bombay Tailings Storage Facilities (TSF) and associated infrastructure.

Operations Performance

Costerfield delivered another steady operational performance for the quarter, with both ore mining and milling rates exceeding plan. Tonnes mined were strong and mining advance tracked reasonably well, although head grades came in below plan. Challenging ground conditions slowed drilling rates and restricted access to some planned mining areas, which in turn weighed on overall plan compliance. The operation continues to work on targeted improvement programs including drill and blast optimisation, transitioning to owner operator capital development, enhanced operator training, increased focus on the mine planning function and the transition to emulsion explosives to improve recovery and reduce dilution.

Processing continued to focus on blend control to maximise throughput, recoveries and produced metal. Successful trials continued during the quarter with respect to pre-crushing ore feed to further improve throughput, crusher downtime and blend control with continuous optimisation of blending and recovery. Work continues in this area.

Work continues to achieve operational consistency across all aspects of the operation. As part of this, a Maintenance Manager has been employed during the quarter whose role is to coordinate and manage all aspects of fixed and mobile plant maintenance for site.

A total of 11,659 gold equivalent ounces¹ was produced during the quarter (Q3 FY26: 11,691 AuEq oz). The site cash costs for the quarter were $1,898/AuEq oz (Q3 FY26: $1,567/AuEq oz) with an AISC of $2,568/AuEq oz (Q3 FY26: $2,521/AuEq oz).² Gold sold for the quarter was 10,522 ounces at an average sales price of $6,160/oz and antimony sold for the quarter was 535 tonnes (384 tonnes post payability) at an average sales price of $24,276/t, generating revenue of $74 million. Finished product stocks were 2,578 ounces. The site’s operating cash flow was $50 million for the quarter.

Exploration

During the quarter, exploration activities comprised approximately 26,670m of surface and underground diamond drilling across multiple deposits and targets, focusing on resource infill, resource growth, geological model validation, and target testing. Drilling programs were completed at Cuffley, Kendal North, Alison North, Brunswick South, and True Blue, with the Alison North resource growth program commencing to investigate extensions around the historic Alison mining area⁶.

Drilling at Brunswick South during the quarter extended the high-grade gold trend at the deposit. Highlight intersections (downhole widths, with estimated true widths (ETW)) included 50.1g/t Au and 26.2% Sb over 2.17m (ETW 1.08m) in BD468; 109.9g/t Au and 3.1% Sb over 0.65m (ETW 0.62m) in BD433; 50.2g/t Au and 33.3% Sb over 0.86m (ETW 0.62m) in BD424; 39.8g/t Au and 0.7% Sb over 1.3m (ETW 1.15m) in BD408; 25.0g/t Au over 1.7m (ETW 1.64m) in BD513; and 21.6g/t Au and 6.7% Sb over 1.65m (ETW 0.92m) in BD496⁷⁸.

Northern Molong Porphyry Project (NMPP) (gold-copper)
Alkane Resources Ltd 100%

Exploration around the Boda-Kaiser Au-Cu deposits for the quarter consisted of drilling a total of 2,555 m testing areas for new Au-Cu mineralised centres. One diamond core drill hole and one RC drill hole were completed testing the area between the Kaiser and Boda deposits. Three RC drill holes were completed to the northeast of Boda-Kaiser testing targets generated from IP and surface geochemical surveys. The diamond core drill hole intersected a magmatic root zone to an intrusive-hydrothermal breccia with two significant intercepts of 23.5m grading 0.17g/t Au 0.14% Cu and 42.1m grading 0.16g/t Au 0.14% Cu. Further drilling is planned to test along strike and up-dip of this breccia³.

District exploration included four RC drill holes for a total of 1,258m testing IP chargeability targets hosted by the Comobella Intrusive Complex at the Haddington and Glen Hollow prospects. The program confirmed the chargeability anomalism intersecting monzonites with pyrite and lesser Cu-Au mineralisation in the drilling with a best intercept of 3m grading 1.74g/t Au 0.07% Cu³.

Mobile Magnetotellurics (MMT) was flown over the project area north of the Boda-Kaiser deposits, defining six high priority targets for porphyry style systems at Driell Creek, Murga, Gollan North, and two new prospects named One Tree and Old Station. On ground validation of these targets has commenced.

Environmental baseline studies to inform the development approval of the Boda-Kaiser Au-Cu resources have continued in the quarter.

A total of 527m of diamond drilling was completed in June focused on Resource delineation drilling of lodes within the Au-Sb Inferred Resource.⁹

Lupin Reclamation Project
Lupin Mines Inc 100%

Lupin is currently in the process of final closure and reclamation. During the quarter, expenditures were incurred for earthworks and demolition, as well as costs related to procurement, engineering and project management services, site operations and water management.

Reclamation work to achieve the majority of closure obligations continues to take place in the 2026 calendar year. As at 30 June 2026, approximately $12 million in restricted cash stands as a deposit against the present value of certain reclamation cost obligations, with potential for this to be released in the future as the work is completed, providing partial funding.

Dividend

Following a year of record production and cashflow, the Board has proposed Alkane's maiden dividend of 2 cents per share, fully franked, in respect of FY26. While the Company does not have a prescriptive dividend policy, it is Alkane's intention to pay sustainable dividends over time, having regard to the prevailing commodity pricing environment, the Company's capital requirements and competing growth opportunities. The proposed dividend has not been declared and remains subject to completion of the audit, satisfaction of the section 254T dividend tests under the Corporations Act, and final Board confirmation.

FY27 Guidance

FY27 production guidance is 163-177kozs gold equivalent at an AISC of $2,900-$3,200 per ounce¹. Group exploration expenditure is expected to be $55 to $65 million. Group growth capital is expected to be $160 to $190 million. The primary growth projects are the Newell Highway diversion at Tomingley, the development of Brunswick South at Costerfield, commencement of development to Storheden and tailings dam expansion at Björkdal and mining equipment replacements across the group.

Banking Facilities

At the end of the quarter, the Company had $17 million of equipment financing.

Following the early repayment of the $45 million project finance facility in August 2025, and to provide additional flexibility, liquidity, and broaden banking relationships, Alkane executed an $110 million Revolving Credit Facility (RCF) and $40 million Contingent Instrument Facility (CIF) under a syndicated facilities agreement with Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited, Commonwealth Bank of Australia, Macquarie Bank Limited and Westpac Banking Corporation. The RCF may be used for general corporate purposes. The CIF will allow cash used to back performance guarantees to be returned. Financial close to utilise the facilities occurred on the 8 May 2026. During the June quarter the group received $19 million of cash from previously cash backed bonds.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, none of Alkane, its directors, officers, employees, associates, advisers and agents, nor any other person accepts any liability, including, without limitation, any liability arising from fault or negligence on the part of any of them or any other person, for any loss arising from the use of this announcement or its contents or otherwise arising in connection with it.

Non-IFRS Performance Measures

This announcement contains references to all-in sustaining costs which is a non-IFRS measure and does not have a standardised meaning under IFRS.

All-in sustaining costs include total cash operating costs, sustaining mining capital, royalty expense and accretion of reclamation provision. Sustaining capital reflects the capital required to maintain a site’s current level of operations. All-in sustaining cost per ounce of gold equivalent in a period equals the all-in sustaining cost divided by the equivalent gold ounces produced in the period.

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 that total contained value by the 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). The average market prices for the June quarter were $6,349/oz Au (being the average of the daily PM price, sourced from www.lbma.org.uk) and $30,675/t Sb (being the average Shanghai Metal Market Price sourced from www.metal.com). The AUD:USD exchange rate for the June quarter was 0.7098. Average market prices for the March, December and September quarters of FY26 were A$7,015/oz Au and A$29,449/t Sb; A$6,299/oz Au and A$30,245/t Sb; and A$5,283/oz Au and A$33,508/t Sb respectively, using AUD:USD exchange rates of 0.6946, 0.6565 and 0.6544. Metallurgical recoveries for gold and antimony are well established through current and historical plant performance, and actual recoveries achieved during the period are set out in Tables 1, 2 and 5. Antimony is recovered into a gold-antimony concentrate and sold under existing offtake arrangements. It is the Company’s opinion that all of the elements included in the metal equivalent calculation have a reasonable potential to be recovered and sold.
² 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. Refer to "Non-IFRS Performance Measures" at the end of this announcement.
³ Refer to ALK Announcement dated 10 June 2026 titled “Boda-Kaiser Regional Exploration Update”.
⁴ Subject to completion of the audit, satisfaction of the section 254T dividend tests under the Corporations Act, and final Board confirmation. No assurance can be given that any dividend will be declared, or as to the final quantum or timing of any dividend that is declared.
⁵ As the merger with Mandalay Resources was completed on 5 August 2025, Alkane’s statutory reported production for FY2026 reflects production from Costerfield and Björkdal only from that date. Full year production and costs can be found in tables 5 and 6 at the end of this report.
⁶ Assay results from the True Blue program were reported in ALK announcement dated 6 July 2026 titled “Costerfield – True Blue Exploration Update”.
⁷ Refer to ALK announcement dated 14 July 2026 titled “Alkane Extends High Grade Gold Trend at Brunswick South”.
⁸ Gold equivalent values for these exploration results are calculated as AuEq (g/t) = Au (g/t) + 2.39 x Sb (%), with the factor of 2.39 based on a gold price of US$2,500/oz, an antimony price of US$19,000/t and predicted metallurgical recoveries of 91% for gold and 92% for antimony, based on current and historical performance of the Costerfield processing plant. Both gold and antimony are recovered and sold under existing arrangements, and it is the Company’s opinion that all of the elements included in the metal equivalents calculation have a reasonable potential to be recovered and sold.
⁹ Refer to NAG announcement dated 15 November 2024 titled “Gold-Antimony JORC Resource Updated”.
