B2Gold's Goose mine on track for 2026 production goal after crusher upgrade

B2Gold said the Goose mine in northern Canada remains set to produce 170,000 to 200,000 ounces of gold in 2026. A new mobile crusher commissioned in August is exceeding 3,000 tons per day, and fixed-plant throughput should reach 3,200 tons per day from October after upgrades and fire repairs. Third-quarter output is expected to be in line with first-quarter levels, and the fourth quarter of 2025 is anticipated to be the strongest of the year.
