Shandong Gold Cuts Output, Proposes Buyback as Gold Stocks Slide

2026 gold output plan slashed to 36–38 tonnes Shandong Gold cut its 2026 mined gold output target from at least 49 tonnes to 36–38 tonnes, citing safety self-inspections and mine construction. This will lower 2026 revenue and net profit, which the company expects to fall year-on-year. Less gold sold means less money earned, a direct hit to the stock.
This is the biggest company-specific negative event of the period, directly reducing future earnings.
Chairman proposes 300–400 million yuan buyback for cancellation Chairman Wang Chenglong proposed repurchasing 300–400 million yuan of shares, all to be cancelled, which reduces the number of shares and boosts per-share value. It signals confidence and aims to support the share price, though it still needs board and shareholder approval.
This is a new capital-return action that can support the stock price after a steep fall.
Fed rate hike and rising bond yields crush gold miners The Federal Reserve raised interest rates on September 16, pushing bond yields to their highest since 2008. Higher rates make gold less attractive, and gold miners sold off hard. Shandong Gold fell 27.8% in September, the worst among the world's top 50 mining companies.
This macro force explains the sharp sector-wide selloff that dragged Shandong Gold down.
Interim profit up 26% and strong operating cash flow Shandong Gold's first-half 2026 net profit rose 26.17% year-on-year to 3.543 billion yuan, the fifth straight year of growth, with operating cash flow of 7.771 billion yuan, the highest among peers. This shows the business was financially strong before the output cut.
This provides a positive fundamental counterweight to the negative output news.

Allied Gold Corporation (AAUC)

Q3 202614 Jul – 17 Sep 2026

Allied Gold pivots from Zijin takeover to funded growth as Kurmuk nears first gold

Zijin takeover scrapped, replaced by US$295M strategic investment Allied Gold ended its C$44-per-share takeover by Zijin Gold, but secured a US$295 million investment from Zijin at C$32.55 a share — a premium to market. That cash funds the Kurmuk mine, Sadiola expansion and CDI growth, so the company stays independent and funded.
This is the period's biggest change: the deal that defined AAUC for months is gone, replaced by a new funding source that keeps growth plans alive.
Kurmuk mine moves from construction to production Kurmuk energized its 88-km power line and fed first ore to the crusher, with first gold expected soon. The mine should produce 240,000–270,000 ounces in its first full year, a major step up in output that supports future revenue and cash flow.
Kurmuk is the main growth engine; its commissioning is the clearest new operational milestone driving AAUC's value.
Q2 output solid, but revenue misses estimates Q2 production of 97,429 ounces kept Allied on track for full-year guidance, with strong margins (gold near $4,380/oz vs costs below $2,200/oz). But revenue of $366.2 million missed analyst estimates by $57.8 million, a reminder that results can disappoint even in a strong gold market.
It gives the fair counterweight: operational progress is real, but the quarter's revenue fell short of expectations.
Shareholders back board as company shifts to growth mode At the annual meeting, shareholders approved all items, including 10 directors and KPMG as auditor. With the Zijin takeover off the table, management now focuses on advancing Kurmuk and other projects, aiming to build Allied into a mature mid-tier gold producer.
It shows governance stability and a clear strategic direction after the deal termination, supporting investor confidence.
