Executive Summary
Allied Gold announced first gold pour at its Kurmuk Mine in Ethiopia, a key milestone for its lowest-cost operation. The company provided production targets of 25,000-35,000 oz in 2026, ramping to 240,000-270,000 oz in 2027, with consolidated production expected to rise 54% in 2027. This is an operational milestone, not a financial results release, so no earnings data is reported.
