B2Gold Corp Stock Price Rebounds Despite Gold Slide, but 2026 Cost Risks Loom
B2Gold Corp shares rose nearly 4% to $4.08 on Monday, rebounding after last week’s selloff. The miner expects 2026 output to fall to as low as 820,000 ounces and costs to rise, while gold prices remain well below its planning assumptions. Founder Clive Johnson will retire in June, with CFO Mike Cinnamond set to take over as CEO. Mali, B2Gold’s top producing country, has tightened mining rules and created a new state-owned mining company.
