What Alchemy Resources does

Alchemy Resources Limited (ASX:ALY) is an Australian mineral exploration company focused on discovering and developing gold, base metal, and nickel-cobalt resources across Western Australia and New South Wales. Founded in 2007 and headquartered in Perth, the company operates a portfolio-based exploration model spanning six core projects: the Karonie Gold Project and Lake Rebecca Gold Project in WA's Eastern Goldfields (both 100% owned), the Bryah Basin JV in WA (20% free-carried alongside Sandfire Resources and Superior Gold), the Cobar/Lachlan Fold Belt portfolio in NSW (80% interest earned from Heron Resources), and the West Lynn Ni-Co-alumina and Woodsreef projects in NSW (80%). The company controls 915km² of granted exploration tenements plus 265km² under application, with declared JORC 2012 inferred resources including 185,700oz Au at Karonie, 21.3Mt at 0.84% Ni / 0.05% Co at West Lynn, 6.6Mt at 20.8% Al2O₃ at Summervale, and 114,000oz at 1.6g/t Au at Hermes South (Alchemy 20%, JV basis).

The company's underlying technology centres on conventional mineral exploration methods — RC drilling, aircore drilling, diamond drilling, geophysical surveys (induced polarisation and electromagnetics), and geological mapping — supplemented by the proprietary patented DNi Process for nickel-cobalt extraction, a nitric acid leach process with >95% acid recycling, potential MgO fertiliser by-product, and benign tailings. Alchemy is pre-revenue and generates no operating income; its economic model relies on joint venture and farm-in structures to externalise exploration capital, with major partners (Sandfire, Superior Gold, Heron) funding the bulk of drilling and development. Value realisation is expected through either mine development or sale of mineral discoveries, with equity funding raised through ASX-listed capital raises (AUD $3.1M in October 2021 and AUD $2.55M in October 2022) used to acquire and advance tenements.

Leadership comprises Non-Executive Chairman Lindsay Dudfield (geologist, 40+ years experience, co-founder of Jindalee Lithium and Energy Metals), CEO James Wilson (geologist and former Argonaut Securities Senior Research Analyst), Non-Executive Director Liza Carpene (former Northern Star executive team member during its growth to a >$3.5B ASX100 company), Non-Executive Director Anthony Ho (Chartered Accountant), and Company Secretary Carly Terzanidis. The company is publicly listed on the Australian Securities Exchange and employs between 1 and 10 people.

Alchemy Resources Limited is a pre-revenue Australian mineral exploration company that identifies, acquires, and advances gold, base metal (copper, zinc, lead), and nickel-cobalt exploration projects in Western Australia and New South Wales. The company holds a portfolio of exploration tenements and joint venture interests across the Eastern Goldfields, Bryah Basin, Cobar Basin, Lachlan Fold Belt, and the New England Fold Belt, with the aim of discovering JORC-compliant mineral resources that can be advanced to mining or monetised through sale or joint venture.
