B2Gold: Mali Permit Secured, Costs Surge, Goose Expansion Advances

Mali permit unlocks Fekola Regional growth B2Gold secured the Menankoto exploitation permit from Mali, a key milestone for its Fekola Regional project. This clears a major regulatory hurdle, allowing the project to ramp up and eventually produce over 150,000 ounces per year, which supports future production growth and reduces political risk.
This is a new, material positive event that directly addresses a prior overhang and boosts BTG's long-term output potential.
Costs soar, adjusted earnings miss B2Gold's Q2 adjusted earnings missed estimates badly, with all-in sustaining costs jumping 55% and cash costs up 61% year over year. Although revenue rose on higher gold prices, the cost inflation and gold collar losses weighed on profitability, and 2026 cost guidance remains far above 2025 levels.
This is a new negative development that pressures BTG's near-term earnings and investor sentiment.
Goose mine crushing upgrades on track B2Gold's Goose mine is progressing with crushing plant upgrades that should lift throughput to 4,000 tons per day by 2027. The mine remains on track for 2026 guidance, and positive exploration results at Back River, including a new discovery, support future resource growth.
This new update shows operational progress and exploration upside, which can offset cost pressures and support long-term production.
Analyst upgrade on rising earnings estimates B2Gold was added to Zacks' Strong Buy list as its earnings consensus estimate rose 7.7% over 60 days. This reflects improving analyst sentiment, which can attract more investors and support the stock price.
This is a new positive signal about earnings momentum and market perception.

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.
