Otjikoto mine outperforms expectations

B2Gold’s Otjikoto mine produced 23 438 ounces of gold in the second quarter of 2026, contributing to B2Gold’s consolidated gold production of 203 648 ounces during this period.

The company’s operational and financial results for the second quarter of 2026 state that Otjikoto’s higher-than-anticipated production was primarily due to higher average mill feed grade from greater ore volumes supplied by higher-grade underground sources.

Commenting on the results, B2Gold president and chief executive Mike Cinnamond says: “B2Gold delivered a solid second quarter, with production across our operating portfolio largely in line with expectations, highlighted by stronger-than-anticipated performance from Fekola (in Mali), Masbate (in the Philippines) and Otjikoto.”
