between 920,000 and 960,000 ounces.
This is the 10th consecutive year the Vancouver-based miner achieves
record annual production, with output this time climbing 51% thanks to

B2Gold expected a maximum of 430,000 ounces.
The company’s Masbate mine in the Philippines also topped guidance,
achieving record yearly gold production of 216,498 ounces.
B2Gold’s other African asset, the Otjikoto in Namibia,
produced 167,346 ounces, reaching the mid-point of its
production guidance range.
For 2019, the miner forecasts gold production of
between 935,000 and 975,000 ounces at all-in sustaining costs
estimated at between $835 and $875 per ounce.
The company noted it planned a year of aggressive exploration,
with a budget of approximately $43 million, from which almost
half will be spent in Mali, Burkina Faso and Ghana.
