  • This ASX gold miner has just proposed a maiden dividend payment

    Man holding Australian dollar notes, symbolising dividends.

    Alkane Resources Ltd (ASX:ALK) has built its cash pile to $432 million and is now proposing to pay a maiden dividend as a result.

    Strong production bolsters balance sheet

    The company said in a statement to the ASX that its cash holdings increased by $104 million for the quarter, allowing it to initiate the new capital management plan.

    Alkane said it produced 42,491 ounces of gold equivalent for the quarter at an all-in sustaining cost of $3011 per ounce, bringing full year gold production to 168,337 ounces.

    The company said it expected gold production for the current year to come in at 163,000-177,000 ounces of gold equivalent at an all-in sustaining cost of $2900-$3200 per ounce.

    Managing director Nic Earner said it was a good end to the year for the company.

    It has been another great quarter for Alkane, producing 40,949 ounces of gold and 456 tonnes of antimony (42,491 ounces of gold equivalent) over the full quarter, which places full year FY26 production at 168,337 ounces of gold equivalent, in the top half of guidance. Our site operating cashflow was $174 million for the quarter, resulting in a balance sheet with $454 million in cash, bullion and listed investments at quarter end. Reflecting this strong financial position and our confidence in the business, the Board has proposed Alkane’s first ever dividend of 2 cents per share, fully franked — a significant milestone for the Company and a tangible return to the shareholders who have supported our growth.

    Exploration success building for the future

    Alkane also recently announced more exploration success at its Costerfield operation in central Victoria.

    The company said on 14 July it had drilled 91 holes targeting the Brunswick South Deposit and the drilling had identified a high-grade antimony and gold grade connection between the recently discovered gold dominant zone at depth and the historical surface workings.

    The company added:

    Drilling is continuing to identify extensions to the deeper gold dominant zone (Kiwi zone) with recent geological interpretation indicating the setting for mineralisation is similar to that of the Youle deposit currently being mined.

    Mr Earner said regarding the results:

    Focused extension and infill drilling at Brunswick South over the previous year has produced highly encouraging results. This newly defined deposit not only contains pockets of high gold endowment, but critically a significant quantity of antimony. Excitingly Brunswick South can be brought online without extensive access requirements as it is situated 200m from existing development. We are commencing development towards Brunswick South in the current quarter and are looking to establish it as a primary production source for Costerfield.

    Alkane is valued at $1.78 billion.

  • Broker jumps on board this quality ASX gold stock and tips 50% upside

    Hands forming a heart shape with sunset silhouette.

    Since hitting multi-year highs back in March, it has been a steady decline for ASX gold stock Regis Resources Ltd (ASX: RRL). 

    It is an established multi-mine gold producer and one of the largest ASX-listed gold producers with an all-Australian asset base. 

    The Duketon Gold Project (located in the Laverton region of WA) is RRL’s flagship project. 

    Rollercoaster for gold stocks 

    Like many other ASX gold stocks, it enjoyed a surge into early 2026 as the gold price climbed to record highs. 

    This was driven by strong safe-haven demand, expectations of lower interest rates in major economies, central bank buying, and investor optimism that miners’ profits and cash flows would increase. 

    However, like much of the sector, Regis Resources shares have since fallen as gold prices retreated from their peaks, and investors rotated into riskier assets amid improving market sentiment. 

    Since peaking at over $9.40 per share in March, it has now fallen over 40% and is now sitting at around $5.65 per share. 

    However, this ASX gold stock is now generating broker interest. 

    Yesterday, the team at Bell Potter updated their outlook on Regis Resources, which included a retained buy recommendation and strong upside. 

    Here’s what the broker had to say. 

    FY27 guidance lifted

    Late last week, Regis Resources released an updated FY27 outlook. 

    As Laura Steward reported, the company lifted its FY27 production guidance, aiming for 360,000–400,000 ounces of gold at a group all-in sustaining cost of $2,990–$3,390 per ounce.

    Bell Potter said this production is similar to FY26. 

    Higher production at Duketon should offset slightly lower production at Tropicana. 

    Costs are expected to rise because the company is mining more expensive ounces and facing higher diesel costs. 

    Ramelius is also increasing spending on mine development and exploration, which should support future growth but will lift capital spending in FY27.

    Healthy upside for ASX gold stock

    Based on this guidance, Bell Potter retained its buy recommendation on this ASX gold stock. 

    However the broker has lowered its price target to $8.45 (previously $9.45). 

    However, from yesterday’s closing price, this still indicates an upside of almost 50%. 

    Overall, we remain positive towards RRL’s all-Australian, multi-mine asset portfolio, leverage to the gold price and its fully unhedged, debt free position. However, higher costs and CAPEX cut our NPV-based valuation 11%, to $8.45/sh. We retain our Buy recommendation.

    Bell Potter isn’t the only expert tipping a rebound for gold stocks.

    Recently, the VanEck published a report suggesting many ASX gold shares remain attractively valued after the recent pullback.
