Positive Points B2Gold Corp (BTG) achieved record revenue of $3 billion in 2025, marking a significant financial milestone. The Fekola, Masbate, and Otjikoto mines continued to outperform, contributing to the strongest consolidated production quarter of the year. The company celebrated the first gold pour at Goose, marking the start of commercial production in collaboration with local partners.
B2Gold Corp (BTG) announced an improved construction decision for the Antelope underground deposit, potentially increasing Otjikoto mine production and extending its life into the 2030s. The company maintained a strong financial position with $380 million in cash and cash equivalents and significant capacity on its revolver, ensuring financial flexibility. Negative Points Production is expected to decrease in 2026 due to the planned step-down of Otjikoto and lower production at Fekola as stripping continues. The Goose mine's crushing circuit faced operational interruptions due to unseasonably low temperatures, impacting production.
The company anticipates additional capital expenditures for crushing circuit improvements at Goose, which are not included in the 2026 budget. The timing of late shipments at Fekola affected the recording of revenues for 2025, impacting earnings. The approval process for the Fekola Regional exploitation permit has been slower than desired, although progress is being made. Q & A Highlights Q: Can you provide an update on the Fekola Regional permit and your confidence in receiving it in the first quarter of this year? A: Randall Chatwin, Senior Vice President - Legal and Corporate Communications, explained that the confidence stems from progress made in 2025, including endorsements from the Minister of Mines and Finance.
The permit is currently with the President and the newly formed Mining Commissioner, and there is regular dialogue with the government, which gives confidence in receiving the permit soon. Story Continues Q: What is the status of the permanent crusher solution at Goose, and what are the next steps? A: William Lytle, Chief Operating Officer, stated that the study by FLSmidth has been completed and is under review by Lycopodium. The first phase, including an apron feeder and hopper, is budgeted at $7 million. The second phase, estimated in the tens of millions, will be finalized by April, with options to bring equipment in by plane this year or by road next year.
Q: What is preventing Goose from reaching a consistent 4,000 tonnes per day throughput? A: William Lytle explained that while they can reach 4,000 tonnes per day, maintaining it consistently is challenging due to maintenance and blockages. The next study will focus on expanding the crusher's capacity to ensure consistent throughput. Q: Can you provide a production breakdown for Fekola, excluding the Regional contribution? A: William Lytle noted that the underground is expected to produce 71,000 ounces in 2026, with the combination of Fekola and Cardinal contributing 300,000 ounces, totaling 371,000 ounces minus the Regional contribution.
Q: How should we think about ASIC at Goose once it reaches 3,200 tonnes per day? A: Michael Cinnamond, CFO, indicated that ASIC will step down significantly once Goose reaches steady-state production at 4,000 tonnes per day, expected further into 2027, following the completion of Stage 2 crusher remediation.
