Production and Cost Guidance

For 2026, B2Gold expects production to range between 820,000 and 970,000 ounces. The Fekola mine is anticipated to maintain a consistent production level throughout the year, pending the approval of the Fekola Regional permit in Q1 2026. Meanwhile, the Goose mine is expected to ramp up production throughout 2026, with plans for a crushing circuit improvement in the second half of the year. This improvement is likely to significantly reduce the all-in sustaining cost (ASIC) at Goose once the crusher remediation is complete.
