B2Gold Corp. Stock Falls Nearly 5% as Gold Slips Below $5,000 and Goose Risks Return
B2Gold shares fell nearly 5% Wednesday as gold dropped below $5,000 an ounce after the Federal Reserve held rates steady and warned on inflation. The miner’s 2026 cost outlook is based on gold at $5,000, but spot gold slid 2.9% to $4,860.21. B2Gold expects lower 2026 output, with most Goose mine production coming later in the year. Founder Clive Johnson will step down as CEO on June 4.
