The Corporate reconfirms that no accidents have been reported and no scientific remedy used to be required associated with the fireplace. The Corporate too can ascertain its preliminary evaluate that the fireplace harm used to be localized to the crushing circuit house. There used to be no harm or have an effect on to the mill or energy facility.
The Goose Mine these days has cellular crushers to be had at web page and the initial operational plan is to make use of those cellular crushers to feed overwhelmed ore without delay to the wonderful ore stockpile. Further brief crushing capability has been sourced and can be transported to web page in the second one quarter of 2026 to complement the prevailing cellular crushers these days on the Goose Mine.
A initial revised mill processing plan has been evolved for the second one quarter of 2026 in response to the usage of cellular crushers feeding overwhelmed ore without delay to the wonderful ore stockpile whilst maintenance to the crushing circuit associated with the fireplace are finished. The Corporate estimates that those maintenance can be finished within the 3rd quarter of 2026, and can coincide with the in the past introduced addition of a run-of-mine bin and apron feeder which have been scheduled to be carried out within the 3rd quarter of 2026.

B2Gold’s initial estimate of the price of the maintenance to the crushing circuit associated with the fireplace is roughly C$10 million.
Gold manufacturing is predicted to proceed over the near-term, albeit at a discounted stage than in the past expected in the second one quarter of 2026 because of decrease throughput charges of overwhelmed ore. Within the first quarter of 2026 the Goose Mine produced 42,876 oz. of gold, forward of inner estimates. The former inner forecast for gold manufacturing on the Goose Mine in the second one quarter of 2026 used to be roughly 29,000 oz.. Because of the have an effect on to the crushing circuit associated with the fireplace, the Corporate now forecasts gold manufacturing in the second one quarter of 2026 of 18,000 to twenty,000 oz., a discount of roughly 10,000 oz..
B2Gold reiterates its complete 12 months gold manufacturing steering for the Goose Mine of 170,000 to 230,000 oz. in 2026. The Corporate estimates that the have an effect on of decrease availability of overwhelmed ore because of the fireplace can be restricted to the second one quarter of 2026, and that availability of overwhelmed ore in the second one part of 2026 won’t trade from earlier estimates.
