Investor presentation summary
9 Nov, 2026Operating and financial outlook
2026 attributable production guidance is 1.84–1.86 Moz; 2027 guidance is the same range, rising to 2.0 Moz ±5% in 2028. The outlook includes a 70% share of Manh Choh.
Revised 2026 attributable cost guidance is $1,420–$1,460/oz production cost of sales and $1,850–$1,900/oz AISC; attributable capital guidance is $1.5B ±5%.
Q3 YTD 2026 production was 1.41 Moz; production cost of sales was $1,396/oz and AISC was $1,827/oz.

2026 revised guidance assumes $100/bbl oil for the rest of the year; oil prices to date and that assumption imply an estimated ~$20/oz impact on annual costs.
