Production, costs, and financials
Second half and Q4 of 2026 are expected to be production-heavy, with cost improvements anticipated.
All-in sustaining costs currently around $2,200/oz, expected to drop as new low-cost production comes online.
Kurmuk's all-in sustaining cost projected at $1,300/oz at a $4,200 gold price, with 240,000–270,000 ounces expected in 2027.
Pro forma cash balance at Q2 2026 is $487 million, bolstered by Zijin Gold's 9.2% equity stake.
Exploration spend of $36 million/year supports ongoing reserve growth and mine life extension.
Growth initiatives and mine life extension
Sadiola's modular expansion enables processing of more fresh ore, increasing production and efficiency.
Côte d'Ivoire complex now has over 1.7 million ounces in reserves, supporting 8–10 years of mine life at 180,000–200,000 ounces/year.
Kurmuk's initial four years average 300,000 ounces/year, with ongoing exploration to extend this period.
Company-wide production expected to rise to 600,000–650,000 ounces in 2027, with a target of 800,000 ounces by 2030.
