Monitor Q3 2026 production results (expected broadly in line with Q1) and the mid-October commissioning of Phase 1 crusher upgrades. The Phase 2 shutdown in H1 2027 (up to 10 weeks) could pose operational risk if ore stockpiles are insufficient.

Executive Summary
B2Gold provided an operational update for the Goose Mine, confirming the new mobile crushing plant was commissioned in August and is achieving ~3,000 tpd throughput, in line with plan. The company reaffirmed 2026 annual production guidance of 170,000-200,000 oz of gold from Goose and reported positive exploration drill results at the Back River Gold District, including high-grade intercepts at Llama and a new discovery (Tattuk) at Goose Main. The filing is a routine operations update with no financial results; the key takeaway is that the mine is recovering from the April fire and remains on track to meet guidance.
