B2Gold (BTG) updated operations across its mines, reaffirming its 2025 gold production guidance of 970,000-1,075,000 ounces. The Goose Mine achieved first gold pour, but crushing plant issues led to reduced 2025 guidance. Otjikoto and Masbate mines are outperforming, increasing their production outlooks. Fekola underground operations commenced, with positive results. The Antelope underground project at Otjikoto was approved with reduced capital costs. Fekola Regional’s exploitation permit is expected soon, projecting 180,000 ounces annually from 2026-2030.
