Strategic Initiatives
Growth programs, investments, and their expected impact
Developing the Goose Mine in Nunavut, Canada, including rebuilding the crushing circuit following a fire in early 2025 and implementing a two-phase upgrade program to optimize throughput.
Expected impact: Establish the Goose Mine as a cornerstone asset producing an average of 300,000 ounces of gold per year over a 15-year mine life, significantly reducing B2Gold's geopolitical concentration risk.
Integrating satellite deposits (Bantako North, Menankoto) and ramping up underground operations at the Fekola Mine in Mali. Underground production commenced in Q3 2025 following state approval.
Expected impact: Underground operations and regional satellite integration are key growth drivers intended to add high-grade resources and sustain throughput at the Fekola Complex.
Implementing site-specific greenhouse gas (GHG) emission action plans and advancing the 'No Net Loss Roadmap' to strengthen biodiversity management practices.
Expected impact: Reduces environmental footprint and operational exposure to fuel price volatility through solar power integration, which already supplied 25% of electricity in 2025.
