Alkane reports a second cash flow-positive quarter after the high amounts of waste required to be mined during H215 made the TGO cash flow negative. Gold production remains on track for 60-70koz by end FY16, with AISC costs in a range of A$1,200-1,300/oz ytd. Costs compare to an Australian dollar gold price of c A$1,570/oz. Progress on developing the DZP is also highlighted, with the key mining lease achieved during the quarter. We maintain our view that the DZP, through its diversified product suite and very advanced stage of engineering and product offtake arrangements, remains the strongest non-Chinese contender for exposure to the strategically important REE (and other speciality metals) space.
