Sichuan Gold's profit more than doubles on higher gold prices and sales

First-half profit more than doubles Sichuan Gold reported first-half 2026 net profit of 433 million yuan, up 107.34% from a year earlier, with revenue up 87.03%. The company sold more gold concentrate and got higher prices, which directly boosts earnings and supports the stock price.
This is the actual reported result, the strongest new evidence of the company's earnings power.
Gold price surge drove results The average gold price in Shanghai rose about 45.88% year on year in the first half, and Sichuan Gold's sales volume of gold concentrate increased 14.59%. Higher prices and more volume together lifted profit, and gold prices remain the main force behind the company's earnings.
It explains the underlying force behind the profit jump and what investors should watch going forward.
Profitability and cash flow improved Gross margin reached 71.01%, up 5.94 percentage points, and operating cash flow rose 83.24% to 568 million yuan. Stronger margins and cash generation make the earnings growth look sustainable rather than a one-off.
It shows the quality of the profit, not just the headline number, which matters for a long-term investor.
A large shareholder exited Zhang Jianping, previously the eighth-largest shareholder, dropped out of the top ten list by June 30. A big investor selling can weigh on sentiment, though the company's strong results and a 70% year-to-date share price gain show the market has largely looked past it.
It is the main counterweight in the period and gives a fair picture of risks alongside the strong earnings.

Eldorado Gold hits key growth milestones but faces leadership change

Skouries and McIlvenna Bay start production Skouries crushed first ore and produced first copper-gold concentrate, while the acquired McIlvenna Bay mine began shipments and ramped toward commercial production. These milestones mark a major step in Eldorado's growth.
This is the most significant new operational development, directly driving future revenue and production growth.
Strong Q2 results and raised guidance Q2 revenue was $487.5M with net income of $172.8M, and full-year guidance increased to 495,000–600,000 gold ounces. The company also renewed a buyback for up to 5% of shares.
These financial results and capital return plans reflect strong current performance and confidence in future prospects.
CEO retirement during critical startup phase CEO George Burns retired during the startup of two major mines, introducing leadership uncertainty until the new CEO and chair prove execution. This adds risk to the company's growth trajectory.
Leadership changes during pivotal operational periods can unsettle investors and raise execution concerns.
Gold price volatility drives share swings EGO swung sharply with gold prices, falling nearly 13% in late June before rebounding 12%. This volatility highlights the company's sensitivity to commodity prices.
Gold price movements are a key external factor affecting Eldorado's stock, and the sharp swings illustrate ongoing market risk.

Eldorado's two new mines start up as leadership changes

Skouries reaches first concentrate, then permanent grid power Eldorado produced first copper-gold concentrate at its Skouries mine in Greece in September, then secured permanent grid power in October. Both cut the risk that this big new mine fails to deliver, and commercial production is targeted for late 2026, which should lift future output and cash flow.
Skouries is the single biggest new growth asset and its startup plus power fix directly drive EGO's value.
McIlvenna Bay ramps toward commercial production The McIlvenna Bay copper-zinc mine in Saskatchewan made its first concentrates and is ramping toward commercial production in the third quarter of 2026, with an expansion study underway. This adds a second new source of metals and revenue, making Eldorado less dependent on any one mine.
A second new mine entering production broadens EGO's output and reduces single-asset risk.
Buyback renewed, returning cash to shareholders Eldorado renewed its normal course issuer bid, letting it buy back up to 13 million shares, about 5% of the company, through July 2027. Buying its own stock signals confidence and can support the share price by shrinking the number of shares outstanding.
The renewed buyback is a concrete capital-return signal that can support EGO's share price.
New CEO and board chair take over during growth phase CEO George Burns retires September 30, with Christian Milau taking over, and Dan Myerson becomes Chair. New leaders can bring fresh energy, but a CEO change while two major mines are starting up adds uncertainty until the new team proves it can deliver.
Leadership turnover at a critical startup moment is a real counterweight investors must weigh.

Skouries commissioning and McIlvenna Bay acquisition drive EGO's growth story

Skouries first ore crushed, on track for Q3 production Eldorado crushed first ore at its Skouries copper-gold project in Greece, a key step toward production. The mine is 97% built and expected to start producing in the third quarter of 2026. This adds a major new source of revenue and growth for the company.
This is a new operational milestone that directly increases future production and revenue for EGO.
Q2 results solid; guidance includes new McIlvenna Bay mine Eldorado reported strong Q2 earnings with revenue of $487.5 million and net income of $172.8 million. It updated 2026 gold production guidance to 495,000–600,000 ounces, including initial output from the newly acquired McIlvenna Bay mine in Canada. This shows the company is growing and financially healthy.
New financial results and updated guidance give investors a clearer picture of EGO's earnings power and growth.
McIlvenna Bay concentrate shipments to start via Hudson Bay Railway Eldorado Gold Saskatchewan will soon ship concentrate from the McIlvenna Bay mine via the Hudson Bay Railway. This follows Eldorado's acquisition of Foran Mining and marks the start of a new revenue stream from Canada, supporting the company's expanded production base.
This is a new logistics development that confirms the McIlvenna Bay mine is moving toward commercial production and sales.
Gold price swings drive EGO volatility EGO fell nearly 13% in late June as gold dropped below $4,000 on Fed rate hike fears, but rebounded 12% in early August as gold climbed on easing U.S.-Iran tensions. Gold's price remains the biggest short-term driver of EGO's stock, and it can move sharply in both directions.
This explains the main external force behind EGO's price swings and reminds investors that gold price risk remains.
