Factors Likely to Have Shaped BTG’s Q4 Performance
Several factors have contributed to the upward trajectory of gold prices in 2025, including increased geopolitical tensions, a depreciating U.S. dollar, the potential for monetary policy easing, continuous purchasing by central banks and tariff conditions.
Backed by these, the yellow metal remained near record high through the October-December period. This momentum in the prices of gold is likely to have improved B2Gold’s performance in the to-be-reported quarters.
B2Gold expects to recoup the lost production at Fekola in 2025. In July 2025, the company announced that it received approval from the State of Mali to commence underground operations at the Fekola Mine. The company expects gold output from the Fekola Complex of between 515,000 ounces and 550,000 ounces for 2025. The company anticipates the Otjikoto mine to produce 185,000-205,000 ounces of gold in 2025. Production at the Masbate mine is expected between 190,000 ounces and 210,000 ounces.
The impacts of higher year-over-year gold production and prices are expected to get reflected in B2Gold’s top line in the fourth quarter of 2025.
However, BTG has been witnessing cost inflation pressure across all sites, impacting input prices, including reagents, fuel and consumables. Higher fuel and labor costs, coupled with a stronger foreign exchange rate, are driving total costs. These headwinds are expected to have somewhat impacted the company’s fourth-quarter margins.
