B2Gold cuts Otjikoto and group 2026 cost guidance after strong quarter
B2Gold said strong performance at its Otjikoto mine led it to lower 2026 mine-level AISC guidance to US$1630-US$1780 per ounce sold, alongside production guidance of 80 000 to 100 000 ounces. The company also reduced consolidated 2026 AISC guidance to US$2 230-US$2 410 per ounce sold and reported third-quarter group revenue of US$836 million on 195 018 ounces sold. B2Gold declared a fourth-quarter 2026 cash dividend of US$0.02 per common share, payable on 15 December.
Why it matters
