Welcome, everyone. As you heard from the operator, we're here to review B2Gold's financial results for 2025.

The fourth quarter of 2025 brought a solid end to what was an exciting year for B2Gold. The Fekola, Masbate, and Otjikoto mines continued to outperform, and the first ramp-up quarter at Goose resulted in the strongest consolidated production quarter of the year.

Across our portfolio, we celebrated many milestones during 2025. We achieved record revenue of $3 billion.

In Mali, we produced our 4 millionth ounce since the inception of the mine and received the Fekola underground exploitation approval, producing over 20,000 ounces from Fekola underground in 2025. We are excited about the future of Fekola Underground as it contributes to the Fekola Complex as it ramps up to full production.

At Goose, we celebrated the first gold pour and commercial production. This milestone was not one that we celebrated on our own, and we look forward to many years of operations in Nunavut, Canada in close collaboration with our partner, the Kitikmeot Inuit Association, and Kitikmeot communities.

In Namibia, B2Gold announced an approved construction decision on the Antelope underground deposit. Production from Antelope has the potential to increase Otjikoto mining gold production, leveraging the low-cost platform and extend the life of mine into the 2030s.

At Masbate, the operations delivered another year of consistent and safe results, achieving the incredible feat of seven years without a lost-time injury. In this strong gold price environment, B2Gold is well set up to take advantage, with a strong asset portfolio and a flexible balance sheet.

With growth capital spending at Goose now complete, the company is in a position to add significant shareholder value over the coming years. With that, I will turn the call over to Mike Cinnamond for a discussion of our financial results in the fourth quarter and fiscal year.

Mike?

Thanks, Clive. As Clive said, financially, it was a strong quarter.

GAAP earnings were 13 cents per share or 11 cents per share on an adjusted earnings basis. Those earnings would have been even stronger if it wasn't for the timing of a late shipment at Fekola.

Fekola had a very strong Q4, just the timing of shipments at year-end. We had just over 20,000 ounces that were delivered just after December 31st, not recorded in revenues for 2025, but recorded in early '26.

Revenues we did record of $1.05 billion in the fourth quarter, and that included deliveries 66,000 just over 66,000 ounces under gold prepay obligations. As of today, we've delivered January's tranche and we're working on February, we're nearly there.

We'll have delivered into those and they'll be wound up by the end of June '26. Operating cash flows for 2025 were $896 million, and that included $286 million in the fourth quarter, which is another strong result and it highlights the continuing cash generation potential of our operating assets in this very strong gold price environment.

Balance sheet wise, we're remain in strong financial position. We had cash and cash equivalents of $380 million at the end of '25.

We had drawn $150 million on our revolver at the end of '25 as well, but subsequent to year-end, we've paid down another $100 of that, leaving us with capacity of $750 million on the revolver, and a further $200 million in the accordion feature there, lots of capacity there. Overall, I think we maintain excellent financial flexibility to fully repay our obligations under the gold prepays, as I said, by the end of June, and complete our other sustaining and growth initiatives all across our portfolio, and to continue to fund healthy exploration programs.

I think you'll see that in our budgets to extend mine lives [unclear], but at the same time also to return capital to shareholders, and I think that's an important one. During '25, you saw us start to repurchase shares under our NCIB.

We repurchased 2 million shares for about $10 million in '25. Subsequent to year-end, we've gone back and we've purchased another 5 million shares for approximately $24 million.

I think you'll see us continue to do that as the year progresses. Obviously, with the prepays rolling off, we've got close to an extra $110 million a month coming in now from cash flows post-June where we're currently delivering into those prepays, but we'll have that extra cash flow, I think.

I think you'll see us look at that normal course issuer bid and see if we can buy some more shares back given where we think we are and where we think we're going with our assets as we look forward into some very strong cash flow years coming up. With that, I'll turn the call over to Bill for an operational and project update.

Thanks, Mike. I'd say overall we're pleased with the 2025 operating performance at our sites, producing approximately 980,000 ounces, which was near the midpoint of guidance.

Looking forward to 2026, we're anticipating production between 820 and 970,000 ounces. Production is expected to be lower than 2025 due to the planned step-down of Otjikoto following completion of the open-pit mining in Q4 2025 and the expected lower production at Fekola as stripping of Phase 8 of the Fekola pit continues.

These decreases will be partially offset by the continued ramp-up at the Goose Mine. While we only have a small data set so far in 2026, all operations have performed above expectations.

In Mali, the company expects to receive the approval for the Fekola Regional exploitation permit during the first quarter of 2026, with production starting in the second half of the year. Gold production at Fekola is expected to be relatively consistent throughout the year as production from Fekola Regional is expected to ramp up in the second half to offset decrease in production from Fekola Phase 7 as the Fekola pit begins the transition to Phase 8.

Fekola Regional is expected to contribute between 60 and 80,000 ounces in 2026. At Goose, we expect the operation to ramp up throughout the year.

The crushing circuit, unfortunately, continues to be supplemented with the mobile crusher. Production in the fourth quarter was impacted by unseasonably low temperatures, impacting the performance of the mobile crushing unit, which is not enclosed and is susceptible to operational interruptions in extreme cold.

Initial modifications to improve performance of the crushing circuit in the near term, including the addition of run-of-mine bins and apron feeders, were ordered in late 2025. They're scheduled to be implemented in the second half of '26, at which point use of the mobile crusher will cease.

The company estimates that the crushing circuit will be able to operate consistently at an average of approximately 3,200 tonnes per day once these initial modifications are implemented. Capital for the initial phase has been included in the 2026 operating budget.

The company is studying a more comprehensive crushing circuit improvement to increase design capacity of the existing crushing circuit to enable it to run at an average of 4,000 tonnes per day. These studies will be finalized in the first half of '26, at which point the company will determine the optimal scope and timing of additional crushing circuit improvements.

Capital for the second phase has not been included in the 2026 budget. While the studies are currently ongoing, I reiterate the studies are currently ongoing, the company believes the overall cost to implement these improvements will be in the tens of millions of dollars and not material to the scope of the operation.

At Masbate, the operation continues to perform well, with a world-class safety track record. Mine throughput significantly outperformed expectations in 2025 and achieved a record for the second year in a row.

We anticipate another year of consistent operations in 2026. At Otjikoto, the operation had a fantastic year, with strong production from the final phase of the open pit, achieving the upper end of its guidance range for 2025.

Given the planned completion of the open-pit activities, we expect lower production in 2026 as the mine transitions to processing only Wolfshag underground ore, supplemented by low-grade stockpiles. The company has begun development of the Antelope deposit, which we believe has the potential to increase Otjikoto Mine gold production to an average of approximately 110,000 ounces from 2029 through 2032.

With that, I'll turn it back over to Clive for the intro into the Q&A.

Thanks, Bill. Let's open it up for Q&A.

Hi, thanks for taking my question. Just on Fekola Regional, can you just give us maybe the latest conversations you're having or not having with the government and what gives you the confidence that the permit could be in the first quarter of this year?

Thanks.

Thanks. It's Randall.

I would respond to this one. Over '25, I think part of our our confidence goes to the movement that that we saw over the course of the year.

This was a a permit that took you know all of the ability of the Malian government to come up with a a consolidation that had never been done before in Mali under the 2023 mining code. For us to be able to move that through last year and get to a point right now where we do have the endorsement of the Minister of Mines, the endorsement of the Minister of Finance on this permit has been pushed through the technical group.

The review has been completed. It is sitting with the president and and the newly formed Mining Commissioner Hilaire Diarra.

We are in in very regular dialogue. In addition, you know moving forward with the underground exploitation and, as you've seen, Barrick's Loulo permit get extended, the government is moving these things forward.

It it is slower than we would like for sure, but there is constant dialogue on the process. That's really what gives us the gives us the confidence that we're going to see it in the near future.

Got it. Then just maybe switching gears to Goose, I believe there was an internal study that was being done with FLSmidth to figure out the permanent crusher solution and what that would entail and the specifications for it.

Can you just share anything else from that study that came about if that's been completed and what that means for the second half of this year at Goose?

Yeah. The study, as you correctly said, by FLSmidth was completed.

It's been delivered to Lycopodium, who's going to be the engineer of record. They're in the process of reviewing that study, and then of course it has to go out for, once the final design is set, it's got to go out for cost bids and we have to come back with what the final study is.

I think we've been very open that we're not really going to have final answers until April. What we know is that the first part is the apron feeder and the hopper.

That is '26, that's Phase 1. The second half, after April, we'll come out with what the final guidance is.

I think we did talk about this kind of tens of millions of dollars. Phase 1 is $7 million, and all that's in the budget.

The second half is this tens of millions of dollars. Once again, without having a study, we're probably somewhere in the middle of that.

It's probably something like $50 million Canadian, of which time we'll be purchasing equipment, and there's two choices: one, depending on what the final decision is, we could Herc it in, we could bring it in on plane this year, or we'd have to bring it up the road next year. Those are the two options, which have yet to be finalized.

Thank you.

Hi, Bill. Just to follow up on Fahad's question on the throughput, I understood the issue with the hopper and the crusher, but what is preventing it from getting to 4,000?

I thought that initial fix was going to be the final solution. Can you talk about the second portion of it?

I can. It really is a design factor.

We can run at 4,000, we just can't keep it at 4,000 all day every day. We can't catch up ever.

If the crusher goes down for whatever, for maintenance, or there's a blockage, or that type of stuff, then suddenly we're behind and we can't catch up. This next study is talking about expanding the capacity of the crusher with a safety or with a [design?]

factor.

All right. Getting to 6,000 would just allow you to potentially maybe a little bit more, but average the 4,000.

Is that the case?

I didn't say 6,000 for sure. I don't think we're going to be...

No, no, I know, but in your MD&A, did that say something about evaluating going to 6,000,

I hope? No, the MD&A really was a different issue related to sending the overall circuit to 6,000.

This is completely tied around the crushing circuit.

Okay. All right, thanks.

Then just on Otjikoto, I wasn't quite clear about when Antelope would come on stream. I think this capital spending is '26 and '27, but is '28 a ramp-up year and then '29 to '32 is where you'd exceed 110?

Then what would '27 and '28 look like in terms of production?

The answer is yes to the first part, that '27 and '28 are kind of years which which we're continuing to build, with '29 being a ramp once again, given the fact we haven't even ordered equipment, it's it's maybe a bit premature to talk about when ramp-up will happen. We are talking about '29 and then through '32 being production.

What it looks like what it looks like in '27 and '28 is is kind of that it looks like just looking at my numbers here, I see life of mine at Otjikoto kind of 78 in '27 and and 64 in '28.

Okay. Then at Fekola, could you give us a bit of a breakout in terms of what's coming from the open pit and the underground?

Then also excluding the regional, where you've got 70 to I guess it was 70 to 80, or 60 to 80,000 ounces, the breakout between the underground and the open pit, and sort of what grades and tonnage you were looking at in each?

I don't have the grades and tonnage in front of me, but I do have the gross numbers, you could back-calculate for sure. From the underground, I'm showing 71,000 in '26.

Okay.

Then the combination of Fekola and Cardinal, I'm showing 300,000. Total of 371 minus the regional.

Okay. Then the underground, sorry, could you Do you know Do you know what the grades are at the underground or no?

Or the sorry, the tonnage, if you the tonnage that you would be pulling?

I think we're mining at 1,500 tonnes per day there. I'll have a gut check while we're on this call just to make sure, but I think it's 1,500 tonnes per day.

All right, okay. Thank you, that's it for my questions.

Hey, good morning, guys. I'm just wondering how we should think about ASIC at Goose once you're at 3,200 tonnes a day versus your guidance?

What I'd say, Kerry, you can see obviously there's an ASIC ramp-up in '26 in the budget numbers, and that's based on obviously much lower range production than we see when we get to steady state. I think you can see it's definitely stepping down.

ASIC, we're doing an updated Goose study to incorporate, I think, all of the elements of this new crushing study and what we plan to do. The goal is that we get ramped up to that 4,000 tonnes per day, maybe a little bit further into 2027.

Once we've got stage two of the crusher remediation done, then you'll see our Goose all-in sustaining cost step down significantly from what we've put out in the budget here.

Then maybe just on the cash taxes, you've given guidance at $5,000 an ounce. Would you happen to know what that'd be at 4,500 or so?

Is there any sensitivity around that number?

What was the second part of your question, Carey, on the cash taxes?

Just your cash tax guidance is done at $5,000 an ounce. I'm just wondering what that would look like at 4,500 or so.

If you take what's there and multiply by an effective average rate at 30% for the step-down, that'll probably get you somewhere in the ballpark. The thing to remember with those cash taxes is we're showing you what we think it is and we have to make assumptions about how much we repatriate from sites, right?

At these high gold prices, we're pulling up a lot of cash, and so it's not a linear step-down from 5,000 to 45, because there are withholding taxes on those dividends. If you want to quantify very high level what it is, take the difference in gold price, multiply by the production ounces, and take 30% of it, you'll get in the ballpark of what the impact of cash taxes would be.

We did give that cash tax guidance just to show you what it looks like around the whole group, because you can see in 2025's cash tax numbers, we had over half a billion, and withholding taxes on that was $130 million-plus. Want to remind everyone, all the analysts for your models, you got to put those withholdings in to see the impact of higher gold prices.

We pulled back over $1 billion from sites during '25, we wanted to give you that guidance in '26 as well just to show you what it would be at 5,000, and withholdings somewhere in that $115 million range at 5,000 as the impact for the year.

All right, great. Thanks, Mike.

Thank you all for those good questions. Sorry, Operator.

somebody else?

Okay. Yes.

Thank you, Operator. Thanks, everyone, for attending and for your questions.
