B2Gold gab am Dienstag bekannt, dass die Produktion von Gold und Silber aus der Tagebaumine Orosi begonnen hat und gestern der erste Dore-Barren gegossen wurde. Die Erzverarbeitung hatte am 15.12.2009 begonnen.
Schätzungen zufolge sollen in der Mine in den ersten sieben Betriebsjahren zwischen 80.000 und 90.000 oz pro Jahr produziert werden. B2Gold geht von Cashkosten von 465 USD/oz aus.
Im ersten Quartal des Jahres 2007 setzte der Vorbesitzer, Central Sun Mining, die Arbeiten in der Orosi Mine aus. Man stellte fest, dass die Goldausbeute der Mine von etwa 40% mit Haufenlaugung durch konventionellen Mühlenbetrieb auf etwa 90% gesteigert werden könnte.
Die neue Anlage ist jetzt komplett und soll während der nächsten Monate auf einen Durchsatz von bis zu 3.500 t/Tag anlaufen. Die Verarbeitungsmenge soll dann auf 5.500 t/d gesteigert werden.

B2Gold meldet Rekord-Quartalszahlen
Freitag, 10. Juni 2011 | 16:00
Die kanadische B2Gold hat am Freitag die Zahlen für das erste Viertel dieses Jahres vorgelegt. Diese zeigen eine deutlich steigende Tendenz.
Es sind Rekordziffern, die B2Gold (WKN: A0M889) am Freitag für das erste Quartal vorgelegt hat. Der kanadische Goldkonzern meldet eine Förderung von 38.754 Unzen Gold, weit mehr als doppelt so viel wie im Vorjahreszeitraum. Der Umsatz wurde neben der steigenden Produktion auch durch höhere Verkaufspreise positiv beeinflusst. Für die höhere Unzenzahl ist die Produktion auf dem Goldprojekt La Libertad in Nicaragua verantwortlich. 53,5 Millionen Dollar hat man insgesamt umgesetzt nach lediglich 17,1 Millionen Dollar im Vorjahresquartal.
Auf bereinigter Basis ist auch das Ergebnis des Konzerns klar gestiegen. Hatte man im ersten Quartal 2010 noch einen Verlust von 3,3 Millionen Dollar zu verbuchen, so hat man nun einen Gewinn von 18,1 Millionen Dollar bzw. 5 Cent je B2Gold-Aktie erwirtschaftet. Der Cashflow ist zugleich von 0,6 Millionen Dollar auf 26,1 Millionen Dollar vergrößert worden.
Einen konkreten Ausblick auf die Zahlen des Gesamtjahres legt B2Gold am Freitag nicht vor.

B2Gold Corp. Reports Second Quarter 2011 Gold Production and Provides Limon Mine Update
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwire) -- 07/28/11 -- B2Gold Corp. (TSX: BTO)(OTCQX: BGLPF) ("B2Gold" or the "Company"), is pleased to announce its gold production and record revenue for the second quarter of 2011 as well as provide an update on the status at the Limon Mine. All dollar figures are in United States dollars unless otherwise indicated.
2011 Second Quarter Highlights
-- Record gold revenue of $54.5 million
-- Gold production of 36,760 ounces exceeding budget
-- Gold sales of 36,030 ounces
Second Quarter 2011 Gold Production
B2Gold's consolidated gold production for the second quarter of 2011 from La Libertad and Limon Mines in Nicaragua was 36,760 ounces of gold, exceeding the Company's second quarter budget of 33,835 ounces.
Gold production at La Libertad Mine was 24,568 ounces compared to budget of 21,927 ounces, mainly due to higher recoveries, higher mill throughput and the processing of higher grade ore. Gold recoveries in the quarter were 90% exceeding the budget of 87%. Mill throughput averaged 5,475 tonnes of ore per day versus the budget of 5,363 tonnes of ore per day at an average feed grade of 1.71 grams of gold per tonne versus budget of 1.61 grams of gold per tonne.
The Limon Mine also performed better than budget producing 12,192 ounces of gold compared to budget of 11,908 ounces. The higher than budget gold production was due to a combination of factors as mill head grade and recovery were slightly better than budget.
Total gold revenue for the second quarter was a record $54.5 million on sales of 36,030 ounces, compared to $53.5 million on sales of 38,754 ounces in the 2011 first quarter. This increase in revenue was attributable to a higher average realized gold price in the second quarter of $1,513 per ounce, which exceeded the first quarter average realized gold price of $1,381. This also compares favorably to the average spot gold price of $1,504 per ounce for the quarter.
The Company remains in a strong financial position with over $78 million in cash at the end of the quarter. B2Gold has no debt and remains unhedged.
B2Gold is projecting another record year for consolidated gold production in 2011 and is increasing full year production guidance to be between 135,000 to 145,000 ounces of gold, an increase of 5,000 from previous guidance. The increase in guidance is mainly due to higher gold recoveries (expected to average 90%) and ore grades at La Libertad Mine experienced through the first half of 2011 and which is expected to continue into the second half of the year. La Libertad production guidance has been increased to 93,000 to 99,000 ounces of gold in 2011. Consolidated operating cash costs for 2011 are projected to remain on budget of between $540 to $560 per ounce of gold.
Limon Mine Update
As the Company reported on June 24, 2011, the Limon Mine suffered a force majeur event that resulted in a fatality. The event was the consequence of an extreme rainfall and surface water runoff that exceeded design capacity. One of the open pits (Pit 2) was flooded when surface water management structures were overwhelmed and subsequently the water found its way through old workings into a portion of the active underground mine.
Since the accident mine management has worked with the Representative unions and the Company's Health and Safety Committee to develop a rehabilitation program that will ensure that a similar event cannot occur in the future and allow safe return to production of first, Pit 2, and then, Santa Pancha underground mine. Management is currently implementing the work recommended in the plan, which is fully supported by all groups at the mine, both labour and management. The Company remains committed to ensuring the highest standards for occupational health and safety.
Currently mine management is reviewing the rehabilitation plan with the Nicaraguan Ministry of Labour. The intent is to have Pit 2 return to production in August and Santa Pancha in September.
In the meantime ore processing has continued, first from stockpiles then from operations at Babilonia Pit and Pit 4 surface operations. These pits are the result of the successful ongoing development work with B2Gold Exploration and El Limon Engineering. In the near term gold grades will be slightly lower than budget but management anticipates that 2011 budgeted production, estimated at between 42,000 and 46,000 ounces of gold will be met.
Exploration Update
The Company's extensive 2011 exploration programs on numerous projects are well underway. Drilling continues on La Libertad and Limon properties in Nicaragua, the Gramalote property in Colombia and the Cebollati property in Uruguay. In total, B2Gold's combined 2011 exploration and pre-feasibility budgets total approximately $39 million and will fund approximately 84,000 metres of diamond drilling. The Company expects to release drilling results from its exploration projects over the next several weeks.
2011 Second Quarter Results Conference Call and Webcast
B2Gold will be releasing its second quarter 2011 financial results on Thursday August 11, 2011. A conference call and webcast will be held on Friday August 12, 2011 at 10:00 am Pacific Time.

Expert Analysis
Steven Green, TD Newcrest (7/29/11) "B2Gold Corp. released Q2 production results that were above our estimates, due to higher grades at La Libertad and higher recoveries and grades at Limon; in addition, the company raised 2011 production guidance by 5 Koz. to 135–145 Koz. . .we have increased our production estimates accordingly and are maintaining a Buy recommendation. . .B2Gold continues to deliver solid operating results and has above-average exploration upside, in our view."
Richard Gray, Cormark Securities (7/29/11) "B2Gold Corp. provides exploration upside on the back of a proven management team with an excellent track record for discovering, developing and operating gold mines in challenging environments. . .Q2 production of 36,760 oz. was well above our estimate for the quarter of 31,900 oz. . .we continue to recommend the stock as our Top Pick and believe the company provides one of the sector's best combinations of production growth, attractive valuation and exploration upside."
Steven Butler, Canaccord Genuity (7/28/11) "B2Gold Corp.'s consolidated production guidance for 2011 has been revised upwards by 5 Koz. to 135–145 Koz., based on higher expected recoveries and grades at La Libertad. We reiterate our Buy rating, based on production growth and reserve upside from a solid production platform, rerating and valuation upside on derisking the Gramalote project and the potential for a further increase in guidance following the incorporation of higher-grade colluvium material from Jabali into the mine plan."
Ron Struthers, Struthers Resource Stock Report (7/20/11) "The future looks very bright for B2Gold. . .there is potential for high grade discoveries at Limon to enhance production levels, considering historical mined grades in the largely unexplored district; the company's Gramalote JV has great potential for a larger resource and advancement through a prefeasibility study that could materially add value to the stock. They also have significant upside to potentially sizeable discoveries at the Cebollati project in Uruguay and Trebol/Pavon JV in Nicaragua, where the limited exploration undertaken to date has returned encouraging results.

"The Gold Report"
Expert Analysis
Canaccord Morning Coffee (8/24/11) "B2Gold Corp. and Radius Gold announced trenching results from their Trebol project in northeastern Nicaragua. . .new trench results appear to be outlining a north-south trending mineralized zone at least 1.5 km. long: Trench 91, which lies at the southern end of the trend, returned 18m at 2.56 g/t gold; roughly 1 km. north, trench 93 returned 19m at 1.54 g/t gold. . .this news continues a solid string of results from B2Gold, as the company continues to ramp up production from its La Libertad and La Limon mines in Nicaragua along with exploration upside from its Cebollati property in Uruguay."
Michael Gray, Macquarie Capital Markets (8/15/11) "B2Gold Corp. reported Q211 results with adjusted earnings per share of $0.06, in line with our estimate. . .gold production of 36.8 Koz. was pre-released and 12% higher than our 33.0 Koz. estimate while cash operating costs of $507/oz. were 18% lower than our estimate of $616/oz. The company achieved higher than expected gold production at lower cash operating costs while providing investors exposure to key exploration upside. . .we reiterate our Outperform recommendation. . .B2Gold is one of our top picks amongst the mid-tier gold producers."
Richard Gray, Cormark Securities (8/12/11) "B2Gold Corp. has been the rare gold producer that has lowered its cash costs as the gold price has increased without the help of any by-product credits; this has driven a dramatic increase in margins for the company, a trend we expect to continue in Q311 with gold trading where it is now. With further upside coming from the drilling and development at Gramalote, we continue to recommend the stock as our Top Pick and believe the company provides one of the sector's best combinations of production growth, attractive valuation and exploration upside."

Der positive Goldpreistrend dürfte sich weiter fortsetzen. Es wäre wenig überraschend, wenn die Unsicherheiten wegen der Schuldenkrise und den Währungsschwankungen zu weiteren Anstiegen führen würden. Die Preisannahmen seien für 2011 und 2012 auf 1.625 USD sowie 2.000 USD pro Unze angehoben worden. In 2013 werde mit einem weiteren Anstieg auf 2.200 USD gerechnet. Der Silberpreis dürfte bis 2013 nur schrittweise und weniger stark vorankommen als der Goldpreis, da hier das Nachfrage/Angebots-Verhältnis knapper sei.
Die aktuellen Bewegungen beim Goldpreis würden oft mit einer Blase verglichen, wie Ende der 70er Jahre. Diese Einschätzung werde jedoch nicht geteilt, da derzeit komplett andere Bedingungen herrschen würden. Der Kauf von Goldaktien dürfte vorteilhafter sein als ein Goldbarren-Investment. Die Cash flow-Multiplen würden sich fast auf historischen Tiefstständen befinden. Goldaktien würden fast zu den gleichen NAV-Multiplen gehandelt wie Basismetall-Titel. Dabei seien wegen der monetären Aspekte besondere Prämien gerechtfertigt.
Zu den besten Performern dürften kleinere Gold-Titel zählen, bei denen Wachstum, wenn auch noch nicht geliefert, vom Markt belohnt werde. Die Schere zwischen Value und Wachstum gehe immer weiter auseinander.

Catherine Gignac, Northland Capital Partners:
16 September 2011
"B2Gold Corp. is a junior gold producer that is poised for resource expansion and long-term production; we expect a near seven-fold increase in gold production from its two Nicaraguan mines from 2009 to 2011. . .we anticipate significant upside to our price target from the delineation of high-grade targets on the company's mine properties. Management’s exceptional track record of discovery, exploration and development positions the company well ahead of its peers, in our view."

Richard Gray, Cormark Securities (9/20/11) "We expect B2Gold Corp. to see an upside rerating as it proves itself a stable gold producer. . .the company has provided consecutive updates to the market, each day highlighting its exploration and project development efforts from the company's primary growth projects: New higher grade resource definition from Jabali at La Libertad, the latest drill results from the early-stage Cebollati project in Uruguay and the joint-venture progress at Gramalote in Colombia. . .as La Libertad continues to produce more ounces, and with further upside coming through the drill bit, we continue to recommend the stock as our Top Pick and believe the company provides one of the sector's best combinations of production growth, attractive valuation and exploration upside."
Michael Berry, Morning Notes (9/20/11) "B2Gold announced further drill results and a pre-feasibility update from the company's Gramalote Project in Colombia. Pre-feasibility and exploration work recommenced at the Gramalote Project in the H2/10 with drilling for metallurgical samples, exploration drilling and preliminary engineering investigations with a total of 25,572.85m of drilling completed in 72 holes. B2Gold and AngloGold Ashanti are funding a 2011 pre-feasibility and exploration budget of US$37.6M. Highlights from the 2011 pre-feasibility and exploration work include positive metallurgical test results showing in excess of 90% recovery, encouraging drill results from the outside targets and consistent grade from the infill drilling on the Gramalote Ridge resource. Meanwhile, highlights from the drill results include GR-121, which yielded 180m of 1.09 g/t gold and hole GR-116, which returned 142m of 1.49 g/t gold.

Gold to Move 'Above $2,000 in Coming Months': UBS
Thursday September 29, 2011, 10:07 am EDT
Gold's recent sell-off belies its long term attractiveness and investors should avoid the panic and stay faithful to the precious metal, Dominic Schnider, Commodities expert at UBS Wealth Management told CNBC Thursday.
"The structural problems still remain and Greece is really going to call for higher prices and higher demand.
So we are looking at $2,000 and above in some of the months to come," Schnider said.
He dismissed notions that the gold bubble was close to bursting but cautioned that investors should expect more falls in the short term.
"In the short term you might see some further downside in the price but the demand side is still there," he said.
Gold has lost much of its sheen in recent days as part of a wider metals sell off and the strength of the US dollar in the face of stock market volatility over wider macro-economic woes.
An arrest in the rise of the metal saw a number of commentators claiming that the gold sell-off could see the price of the precious metal plummet to below the $1,500 level.
Marc Faber, author of the Gloom Boom, and Doom Report, told CNBC earlier this week that he would not be surprised if a 40 percent price correction occurred, causing gold to bottom out at $1,100 to $1,200.
Schnider added that gold would remain a safe haven because market volatility was so sharp but an increased desire by investors for liquidity could hamper its revival to the upside.
"If there is a liquidity crunch then even gold is going to have difficulty holding off and then cash is king. Gold is being driven weaker because of investors' desire for more liquidity," Schnider said.
Hampering another rally in gold prices is the strength of the dollar trade, but Schnider said demand for the dollar would be short term.
"It's all about the fear trade and risk aversion is shooting up and gold should be supportive on the one hand but if you seek liquidity it's all about the U.S. dollar. The dollar strength is just short term because the structural story remains unpleasant," Schnider said.

Gold's recent sell-off belies its long term attractiveness and investors should avoid the panic and stay faithful to the precious metal, Dominic Schnider, Commodities expert at UBS Wealth Management told CNBC Thursday.
"The structural problems still remain and Greece is really going to call for higher prices and higher demand.
So we are looking at $2,000 and above in some of the months to come," Schnider said.
He dismissed notions that the gold bubble was close to bursting but cautioned that investors should expect more falls in the short term.
"In the short term you might see some further downside in the price but the demand side is still there," he said.
Gold has lost much of its sheen in recent days as part of a wider metals sell off and the strength of the US dollar in the face of stock market volatility over wider macro-economic woes.
An arrest in the rise of the metal saw a number of commentators claiming that the gold sell-off could see the price of the precious metal plummet to below the $1,500 level.
Marc Faber, author of the Gloom Boom, and Doom Report, told CNBC earlier this week that he would not be surprised if a 40 percent price correction occurred, causing gold to bottom out at $1,100 to $1,200.
Schnider added that gold would remain a safe haven because market volatility was so sharp but an increased desire by investors for liquidity could hamper its revival to the upside.
"If there is a liquidity crunch then even gold is going to have difficulty holding off and then cash is king. Gold is being driven weaker because of investors' desire for more liquidity," Schnider said.
Hampering another rally in gold prices is the strength of the dollar trade, but Schnider said demand for the dollar would be short term.
"It's all about the fear trade and risk aversion is shooting up and gold should be supportive on the one hand but if you seek liquidity it's all about the U.S. dollar. The dollar strength is just short term because the structural story remains unpleasant," Schnider said.

"Gold Miners' Leverage Effect Is Gone. But For How Long?"
"Although the mining stocks should have a leverage effect to a rising price of the metals they have in the ground, we can see that because of the financial crisis this leverage effect has often disappeared.
However, with the crisis in Europe only worsening, and the US on the brink of financial disaster, we think it's just a matter of time before the rating of the perceived "safe haven US Government bonds" will be lowered again.
When this happens, investors have nowhere to go but Gold. When the mass finally realizes that the mining stocks are severely undervalued, the mining companies could start a rally like you will only see once (or maybe twice if you're lucky enough to become old) in your life."

The Gold Report Interview with Ron Struthers (11/18/11)
"I have a number of intermediate producers that I like. . .B2Gold Corp [is a] small-to-intermediate producer, because I think there's better value in the smaller producers."
Richard Gray, Cormark Securities (11/11/11)
"B2Gold Corp. is a stable gold producer with exceptional exploration upside, backed by a proven management team with a solid track record for discovering, developing and operating gold mines in challenging environments. . .margins continue to increase for B2Gold, a trend we expect to continue in 2012 as the higher-grade Jabali ore begins to be processed at Libertad. We continue to recommend the stock as our Top Pick and believe the company provides one of the sector's best combinations of production growth, attractive valuation and exploration upside."
Chris Thompson, Haywood Securities (11/11/11)
"B2Gold Corp. reported a positive Q311, driven by gold production more-or-less in line with expectations. . .Limon is primed to rebound from a flood challenged Q311; La Libertad is primed to enjoy a production boost from Jabali grades in 2012. Grades at Limon and La Libertad are expected to improve next year driving production growth from ~142 Koz to ~165 Koz. . .we reiterate our $4.40 target and Sector Outperform rating in anticipation of near-term production growth and development and exploration success."
Steven Green, TD Newcrest (11/11/11)
"We believe that B2Gold Corp. has a strong growth profile with potential for exploration upside in both brownfield and greenfield discoveries; management has been executing well through operational consistency, exploration success and making acquisitions in which they can add value. We are maintaining our Buy recommendation and have increased our target price to $5 from $4.75."
Steven Butler, Canaccord Genuity (11/10/11)
"We reiterate our Buy rating on B2Gold Corp. following the release of Q311 results that were operationally stronger than our expectations. Our recommendation is based on production growth and reserve upside from a solid production platform (La Libertad and Limon), rerating and valuation upside on derisking the Gramalote project and an attractive suite of exploration assets (including Cebollati and Trebol/Pavon). . .we also see further rerating potential on advancing the Otjikoto project, pending successful close of the Auryx acquisition."

Canaccord Morning Coffee (12/2/11)
"B2Gold reported more positive drill results from its Jabali zone at its La Libertad mine in Nicaragua.
Highlighted holes include 6.9 m at 26.87 g/t drilled within the eastern end of Jabali zone and 11.4 m of 13.52 g/t drilled in
western part of the Antenna zone. Step-out drilling as far as 100 m west of Jabali returned 9.0 m of 2.99 g/t while west of the
Antenna zone returned 6.9 m of 3.54 g/t, 1.5 m of 13.8 g/t and 3.5 m of 5.23 g/t. Mineralization also hit as much as 250.0 m
beyond the western extent of current main Mojon vein pit, including 5.5 m of 10 g/t. Based on these positive results from Jabali
to date, the company has commenced full permitting, environmental studies and metallurgical test work. Due to the increasing
size of the Jabali Zones, a new resource estimate for the Jabali Central and Antenna deposits will now be completed by March
2012. B2Gold is projected to produce 93,000-99,000 ounces of gold from La Libertad open-pit mine in 2011. The company also
noted that their Auryx Gold (AYX) transaction is proceeding well with 13.5% of outstanding shares having been locked up thus
far with the Board recommending that shareholders approve the transaction. The combination of B2Gold and Auryx will result
in B2Gold acquiring a 92% interest in the Otjikoto gold project in Namibia and a 100% interest in two additional exploration
projects in Namibia. The Otjikoto gold project has forecast life of mine annual production of approximately 100,000 ounces of
gold based on a Preliminary Economic Assessment released by Auryx in September 2011 with significant exploration
upside. The vote is set for December 15, 2011."

"With its acquisition of Auryx Gold Corp., B2Gold Corp. fortifies its near-term development plans and adds geographic diversity. . .the company lays the foundation by acquiring Auryx for 92% of the Otjikoto project in Namibia to build a +300 Koz/year gold producer by 2015. . .an implied return of +40% justifies our Sector Outperform rating."
Michael Gray, Macquarie Capital Markets (1/23/12)
"B2Gold Corp. reported significant Au-Cu porphyry mineralization assay results in three holes (668m) from its Primavera joint-venture project in northeast Nicaragua. . .highlights are: 1.) 103m at 0.85 g/t Au and 0.324% Cu (starting from surface, hole 1); 2.) 261.7m at 0.78 g/t Au and 0.297% Cu (same pad, hole 2) and 3.) 77.35m at 0.74 g/t Au and 0.311% Cu from a stepout 200m to the southwest (hole 3). We reiterate our Outperform recommendation for the company and our target price of CA$5.50. . .B2Gold is a top pick amongst our intermediate producers."
Steven Butler, Canaccord Genuity (1/24/12)
"We reiterate our Buy rating on B2Gold Corp. following the announcement of Q411 production results, which were at the high end of management's guidance range. . .B2Gold remains a Canaccord Genuity Focus List pick ahead of a number of potentially positive catalysts that we believe should drive valuation upside and rerating potential over the next 12 months. . .consolidated gold production is expected to increase to 185 Koz in 2013 and further to 200 Koz by 2014, with estimated production growth to 450 Koz by 2016 (including Otjikoto and Gramalote)."
Richard Gray, Cormark Securities (1/24/12)
"B2Gold Corp.'s 2011 production of 144,604 oz was in line with guidance and our expectations. . .Otjikoto's timeline to production is being fast tracked and Jabali's contribution to La Libertad production is much larger than previously forecast. . .we continue to recommend the stock as our top pick and believe the company provides one of the sector's best combinations of production growth, attractive valuation and exploration upside."
Steven Green, TD Securities (1/24/12)
"B2Gold Corp. reported 2011 production of 144,604 oz compared to our estimate of 140,555 oz. . .we have adjusted our assumptions and now model 2012 production of 155,566 oz at cash costs of US$592/oz. . .the company also released initial drill results from its Primavera project. . .three initial drill holes suggest the potential for a gold/copper porphyry deposit grading in the range of 0.7 g/t gold and 0.3% copper—good grades for this deposit type right at surface. . .clearly there is upside here—we expect drill results from Primavera to take center stage in the B2Gold story in the coming months."

B2Gold enters Philippines with C$1.1 billion CGA Mining buy
Wed Sep 19, 2012 9:23am EDT
(Reuters) - Canadian miner B2Gold Corp (BTO.TO: Quote) said it will buy CGA Mining Ltd (CGA.TO: Quote) (CGX.AX: Quote) for C$1.1 billion ($1.13 billion) to gain access to CGA's flagship Masbate gold mine in the Philippines.
The Masbate mine, the largest operating gold project in the Philippines, is expected to produce 200,000 ounces over the 12 month period ending June 30, 2013, the companies said.
The Philippines is said to have the world's fifth largest reserves of gold, copper, iron, chromite, manganese, silver, platinum, zinc, and nickel, with a total value of $850 billion based on latest government estimates.
B2Gold, which operates the La Libertad and Limon mines in Nicaragua, said total production after the deal will be about 350,000 ounces of gold this year from three operating mines.
The companies added that based on current assumptions they expect production of more than 700,000 ounces by 2016 from five operating mines.
The price of gold has more than quintupled in the last decade, from about $300 an ounce in 2002 to about $1,720 an ounce, a stratospheric rise that has pushed gold miners to seek growth at any cost.
B2Gold, founded in 2007, has other exploration assets in Colombia, Namibia and Uruguay. CGA is based in Perth and its shares are listed on Australian and Toronto stock exchanges.
The Masbate project, located on the island of Masbate about 350 kilometers south of the state capital Manila, was acquired by CGA in March 2007.
PREMIUM OFFER
The offer of C$3.18 per share represents a premium of 20 percent to CGA's Tuesday closing price on the Toronto Stock Exchange.
CGA shareholders will receive 0.74 shares of B2Gold for each share they hold, the companies said.
Genuity Canaccord Corp was the adviser for B2Gold, while BMO Capital Markets and Haywood Securities Inc advised CGA.
The CGA board recommend a vote in favor of the proposed deal, in the absence of a superior proposal. The deal agreement also includes no shop and no talk provisions.
Shares of Vancouver-based B2Gold, which has a market value of C$1.69 billion, closed at C$4.30 on Tuesday on the Toronto Stock Exchange.

"BTO is on track for production at its Otjikoto gold project."
Brian Szeto, Stonecap Securities (12/6/12) "B2 Gold Corp. announced it has received its mining license for its 92%-owned Otjikoto gold development project in Namibia. . .the license was the last major requirement before starting full-scale construction of the mine (expected to be completed within a two-year timeframe). . .[this] means the company continues to be on track for initial full-year production by 2015. . .we continue to rate the shares Outperform."
Chris Thompson, Raymond James (12/5/12) "B2Gold Corp. announced the granting of the mining license for the 92%-owned Otjikoto Gold Project in Namibia. . .this is the last major requirement prior to commencing full-scale mine construction, which is scheduled to commence in Q1/13. . .construction will last ~2 years, with the first gold production projected in Q4/14 and the first full year of production being 2015."
Ovais Habib, Scotia Capital (12/5/12) "B2Gold Corp. announced that it has been granted a mining license by the Namibian Ministry of Mines for the Otjikoto gold project in Namibia. . .the mining license is valid for 20 years and was the last major requirement needed to be fulfilled to initiate full-scale mine construction, which is scheduled to commence in Q1/13. . .a feasibility study is anticipated by the end of 2012 and is expected to recommend a production scenario that outlines a significantly higher annual gold production in the first five years of the mine life, compared to the September 2011 PEA. . .the company expects the mine to commence production in late 2014."

(1/21/13) "We reiterate our Buy rating on B2Gold Corp. following the announcement of record Q4/12 and FY12 production. . .the company remains a Focus List pick based on one of the best production growth profiles in the sector, with expected production growth from 158 Koz in 2012 to 550 Koz in 2015 (and potentially to 750 Koz by 2017 if Gramalote is advanced to production)."
Morning Coffee (1/21/13)
"B2Gold Corp. reported record Q4/12 and FY12 gold production. . .total gold production for 2012 was approximately 157,885 oz.

The company has a best-in-class growth profile from an established project pipeline that is fully funded and will see production grow from 385 Koz in 2013 to 550 Koz in 2015."
Richard Gray, Cormark Securities (1/11/13)
"B2Gold Corp. released a feasibility study for the 92%-owned Otjikoto project in Namibia, which marks the final milestone ahead of full-scale construction (now underway) and initial production in Q4/14.

Brian Szeto of Stonecap Securities maintained his outperform rating and target price of $5.40 on B2Gold
Thursday, January 31, 2013 by Deborah Bacal
...
"Lastly, analyst Brian Szeto maintained his outperform rating and target price of $5.40 on B2Gold (TSE:BTO) after the gold producer announced its 2012 exploration results as well as its 2013 plans for its portfolio of assets in Nicaragua, Philippines, Namibia, Colombia and Uruguay.
"Although the new drill results continue to speak to the exploration upside for a number of B2Gold’s operating and exploration projects, we do not expect that these results will have an impact on the shares of B2Gold as it is now a US$2.5 billion market capitalization intermediate producer, on a pro-forma basis, with close to 400,000 ounces of annual production in 2013," Szeto concludes.
Upcoming catalysts for B2Gold including the completion of its merger with CGA Mining at the end of this month, a pre-feasibility study for its Gramalote property in the second quarter, production and cash cost forecasts for Masbate in the next quarter as well as a resource update for its Jabali asset."

B2Gold a Junior Nearing $2 B Market Value
Posted: March 7, 2013 | Author: jackbassteam BTO : TSX : $2.76
If you are an owner in shares of gold companies, you have learned the meaning of “brow beating” over the past year, particularly in the last couple weeks. Gold stocks have been attacked recently by relentless selling from precious metal mutual funds that saw record redemption in the month of February and short sellers, who have boosted their shorts to 14-year highs.
In such an environment it generally pays to stay in high quality growth names. 2013 looks to be a catalyst-driven year for B2Gold, in which its operational success and new project development should attract interest.
Potential catalysts in the coming month include Q4/12 financials and a reserve/resource update which is expected by the end of March. Also weighing on BTO shares is speculation surrounding the potential deletion from the Market Vectors Junior Gold Miners (GDXJ), due to the company growing too large to be included in the fund. If the company is to be deleted it should be addressed potentially by this Friday (Deletions potentially will be announced March 8, 2013 and share sale possibly completed by March 15, 2013). Recent history tells us index deletion can cause share price volatility, however shares usually rebound soon.

Lies den PPT auf der Webseite, dann weist du die Antwort.
Oder anders ausgedrückt B2Gold hat auf den Philipinen eine Goldmine dazugekauft, vielleicht die im Moment am meisten produzierende mit 200.000 OZ Gold Produktion im Jahr. Diesen Kauf haben sie mit Aktien bezahlt, dadurch ist diese große Anzahl an neuen Aktien zu erklären.
Auf der anderen Seite haben sie dadurch ihre Produktion von 150000 Oz/jahr auf 350000 Oz/Jahr gesteigert.

Auf der anderen Seite haben sie dadurch ihre Produktion von 150000 Oz/jahr auf 350000 Oz/Jahr gesteigert.

Ron Rosen: Silberpreis steigt in zehn Monaten um 400%, Goldpreis verdreifacht sich in zwei Jahren
In einem Interview mit King World News äußerte Ron Rosen, der mehr als 56 Jahre Erfahrung in der Branche vorzuweisen hat, seine Prognose hinsichtlich der Entwicklung des Gold- und des Silberpreises.
Der Goldpreis werde sich, so Rosen, binnen der nächsten zwölf Monate auf 2.800 $ erhöhen und so den aktuellen Preis um 1.500 $ übersteigen. In etwas mehr als zwei Jahren soll er Rosens Prognose zufolge sogar die 3.700-$-Marke erreichen. Das hieße, der Goldpreis würde sich in gerade einmal 24 Monaten nahezu verdreifachen.
Der Grund für Rosens Vorhersage: Seit Beginn des Bullenmarktes vor etwa zwölf Jahren habe es drei große Kaufgelegenheiten gegeben. Und jede von diesen habe zu hohen Gewinnen geführt. Mit dem derzeit niedrigen Stand des Goldpreises seien wir nun bei der vierten Kaufgelegenheit angelangt, die seiner Ansicht nach noch höhere Gewinne verspricht als bisher. Man bräuchte lediglich den Mut, jetzt zu investieren.
Beim Silberpreis sieht die Situation Rosen zufolge ähnlich aus, denn auch hier rechnet der Marktveteran mit erheblichem Zuwachs: Allein in den kommenden zehn Monaten soll der Silberpreis auf 92 $ steigen. Gegenüber dem aktuellen Preis würde dies einen Anstieg um 400% bedeuten. In grob zwei Jahren seien dann sogar 130 $ möglich. Um mit Silber jedoch tatsächlich Gewinne erzielen zu können, dürfe man sich, so Rosen, nicht von der ein oder anderen Kursschwankung irritieren lassen.

Zitat von Global-Player83: und wieviel zinsen soll für diese wandelanleihe p.a. bezahlt werden?
"..The Notes will bear cash interest payable semi-annually in arrears at a rate of 3.25% per annum. The initial conversion rate for the Notes will be 254.2912 B2Gold common shares per US$1,000 principal amount of Notes (subject to adjustment in certain events), equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately US$3.93 per B2Gold common share. The initial conversion price represents a premium of approximately 37.5% relative to the last reported closing sale price of B2Gold common shares on the NYSE-MKT on August 19, 2013.."
Sehr ordentliche Konditionen. Die nächste Übernahme steht wohl an
Zitat von kl_hase: mögliche ziele eurer meinung nach?dmm?
Gute Frage. Sie sind bereits in Nicaragua, Namibia, Kolumbien und Uruguay aktiv.. dort gibt es aber kaum für BTO interessante targets..
Dass sie noch weiter in high-risk Länder reingehen wie bspw. Ecuador kann ich mir kaum vorstellen. DMM halte ich selbst für BTO für zu risky..
Vllt. ein Objekt in Westafrika (Mali, BF).. wie bspw. Papillon Res. oder True Gold, die relativ geringe Entwicklungskosten haben und eine starke Rendite + CF-Generation versprechen..
wie wärs mit Teranga Gold aus dem Senegal?
von der MK sicherlich stemmbar...

Martin Siegel - 17. 2. 2014
Die Edelmetallmärkte
Auf Eurobasis steigt der Goldpreis gegen den nachgebenden Dollar an (aktueller Preis 31.081 Euro/kg, Vortag 30.727 Euro/kg). Am 18.07.11 hatte der Goldpreis die vorläufige Zielmarke von 1.600 $/oz überschritten und wurde damit erstmals seit über 20 Jahren wieder fair bewertet. Durch Preissteigerungen und die Ausweitung der Kreditmenge hat sich der faire Wert für den Goldpreis mittlerweile auf 1.800 $/oz erhöht. Mit der anhaltend volatilen Entwicklung an den Finanzmärkten ist nach heutiger Kaufkraft ein Preisband zwischen 1.700 und 1.900 $/oz gerechtfertigt. Unter 1.700 $/oz bleibt der Goldpreis unterbewertet, über 1.900 $/oz (nach aktueller Kaufkraft) beginnt eine relative Überbewertung. Bei einem Goldpreis von über 1.800 $/oz können viele Goldproduzenten profitabel wachsen und die Goldproduktion insgesamt längerfristig erhöhen. Bei einem Goldpreis von unter 1.700 $/oz wird die Goldproduktion mittelfristig sinken. Wegen der fehlenden Anlagealternativen empfiehlt es sich, auch zum Beginn einer zu erwartenden Übertreibungsphase voll in Gold, Silber und den Edelmetallaktien investiert zu bleiben. Mit der seit Anfang 2011 negativen Berichterstattung wurden die schwachen Hände aus dem Goldmarkt vertrieben, so dass nach dem Ausverkauf der letzten Monate ab 2014 wieder mit einer stabileren und freundlicheren Preisentwicklung gerechnet werden kann. In der kommenden Inflationsphase (Crack-up-Boom, Beschreibung in der Zeitschrift „Smart-Investor“, Ausgabe April 2009 (http://www.smartinvestor.de/pdf/Smart-Investor-4-2009-S-44-4… wird der Zielkurs des Goldpreises deutlich angehoben werden müssen.

Jeff Killeen über B2Gold Corporation
Quelle: Kevin Michael Grace of The Gold Report (3/26/14)
The price of gold may be enjoying a double-digit increase so far this year and some equities may even have doubled their value, but Jeff Killeen of CIBC World Markets says it's not time to jump into metals with both feet. Be selective, he counsels. In this interview with The Gold Report, Killeen shares the higher-quality names that have prospects for development.
The Gold Report: What other gold companies have you rated Sector Outperformers?
Jeff Killeen: Among the producing companies that I cover, B2Gold Corp. (BTG:NYSE; BTO:TSX; B2G:NSX) is my top pick and rated Sector Outperformer. The company has an attractive cost profile across its asset base, and all-in costs are expected to decline in 2015 and capital spending at the Otjikoto mine in Namibia will wind down next year. This is a mine that's currently being constructed now. We expect all-in costs to be sub-$900/oz in 2015 and that the company will be positioned to generate significant free cash flow by next year. Otjikoto coming on-line will contribute to a nearly 50% increase in gold output from 2013 to 2015.
That does not take into account the recently discovered Wolfshag zone. I would expect that once the company is able to incorporate the higher-grade Wolfshag zone into the Otjikoto mine plan, we'll see further improvement in cost and gold output from that project.
Beyond the development of Otjikoto, B2Gold's management has shown improvements at each of the company's three projects currently in production, and we're expecting modest increases in output from each of the La Libertad, El Limon and Masbate mines this year. With B2Gold projected to exceed a half-million ounces (0.5 Moz) gold by 2015, that certainly puts it into a fairly substantial production base.
The bottom line is that B2Gold is a company with attractive margins and significant near-term growth that's all internally funded. That's a great combination for any producer to have.
The Gold Report: There were concerns raised about B2Gold's acquisition of Volta Resources Inc. Do you think that's a good fit?
Jeff Killeen: It was an acquisition the market didn't expect, but I can understand why the company likes the asset. It liked the exploration and management team. Plus, it was a rather small acquisition, at roughly 3% of its market cap, for something that could be important in the longer term. I think it made sense.

The price of gold may be enjoying a double-digit increase so far this year and some equities may even have doubled their value, but Jeff Killeen of CIBC World Markets says it's not time to jump into metals with both feet. Be selective, he counsels. In this interview with The Gold Report, Killeen shares the higher-quality names that have prospects for development.
The Gold Report: What other gold companies have you rated Sector Outperformers?
Jeff Killeen: Among the producing companies that I cover, B2Gold Corp. (BTG:NYSE; BTO:TSX; B2G:NSX) is my top pick and rated Sector Outperformer. The company has an attractive cost profile across its asset base, and all-in costs are expected to decline in 2015 and capital spending at the Otjikoto mine in Namibia will wind down next year. This is a mine that's currently being constructed now. We expect all-in costs to be sub-$900/oz in 2015 and that the company will be positioned to generate significant free cash flow by next year.

Post says Barrick, others seen as good bets in 2014
2014-03-25 09:32 ET - In the News
The Financial Post reports in its Tuesday edition gold stocks may still have more upside. The Post's John Shmuel, writing in Trading Desk, says analysts at RBC figure the recent cost cutting by miners bodes well for margin expansion, especially as they forecast gold prices will move higher. The gold segment of the S&P/TSX composite is up 27 per cent this year, thanks to an 11-per-cent rise in gold to $1,336.80 an ounce. The average all-in cost for gold production is somewhere between $1,100 and $1,200. Analysts' average estimate for year-end gold prices sits at $1,412 an ounce. The analysts said a portfolio of quality names was the best way to invest in gold miners and take advantage of their rally forecast. They named Barrick and Goldcorp as the best bets among tier-one producers, with Agnico Eagle, B2Gold, Eldorado, New Gold and Yamana being their preferred choices among tier-two producers. "Our preferred names are those companies that offer a combination of lower cost operations, strong balance sheets, financial flexibility, improving free cash flow prospects, funded growth projects, track record of operational consistency, attractive valuations and consistent corporate strategies," the analysts said.

Duncan Hughes über Papillon Resources:
Source: Kevin Michael Grace of The Gold Report (4/30/14)
The Gold Report: You called Papillon's Fekola gold project in Mali "good." How good is it?
Duncan Hughes: It would be difficult to find another junior gold project as good as Fekola. It has 5.15 million ounces (5.15 Moz) at 2.4 grams per ton (2.4 g/t) with good metallurgy and low strip ratios. It could be mined from one open pit, and recent company work has suggested that there may be opportunities for shallow satellite pits as well. Production is forecast to begin in 2017: 320,000/oz per year over the first 11 years at an all-in cost of $740/oz.
And Papillon has strong management. Mark Connelly is the CEO. He worked at Adamus and has developed projects from exploration through to production. The non-executive chairman, Ian Middlemas, has a strong track record of developing projects to the point of being taken out. Fekola is close to Randgold's 17.9 Moz Loulo-Gounkoto projects, AngloGold Ashanti Ltd.'s (AU:NYSE; ANG:JSE; AGG:ASX; AGD:LSE) 13.1 Moz Sadiola project and Endeavour's 3.8 Moz Segala/Tabakoto project. Given Middlemas' track record, I would say that Papillon has to be a target.
The Gold Report: Could you compare Papillon to another company operating in Mali, Legend Gold Corp. (LGN:TSX.V)?
Duncan Hughes: Legend's Tiekoumala project is at a much earlier stage than Fekola and has 590,000 oz (590 Koz) Indicated and Inferred. Legend has just announced a joint-venture agreement with Randgold on seven of its permits. Randgold is, of course, a producer with high-quality assets throughout Africa.

Bank of America Merrill Lynch Sees $1,250, $1,300 Gold In Second, Third Quarters
Monday June 2, 2014 12:36 PM
Bank of America Merrill Lynch lists average gold-price forecasts of $1,250 for the third quarter and $1,300 for the fourth. The metal has recently given back gains from earlier in the year, with the bank commenting that economic activity is seen steadier in the world excluding China, especially in the U.S. However, with Indian elections over, the bank anticipates an appreciation of the rupee partially on accelerating portfolio inflows. “Keeping in mind that the previous administration had curbed gold imports to contain the country's current account deficit, we believe this should incentivize authorities to facilitate an increase of gold shipments in coming weeks and months,” BAML says. “While this may not be sufficient to offset headwinds from the global macro economy, it should give some support to gold, which we believe is unlikely to fall below $1,150/oz as a result.” Meanwhile, the bank lists one potential risk in gold’s favor – if the U.S. and Chinese economies were to underperform. “Should contagion be stronger than we currently factor in and cyclical commodities like the base metals come under pressure, there is scope for a gold price rally,” BAML says. “After a soft first quarter, we also believe that continued weakness in U.S. economic activity may make gold an attractive hedge.”

B2Gold schnappt sich Papillon Resources
Geschrieben von: Kai Hoffmann | 10. Juni 2014
Viele Medienberichte hatten in den letzten Tagen bereits darauf hingedeutet: trotz keinerlei öffentlicher Stellungnahmen wurde bereits zu Anfang der Woche der kanadische Goldproduzent B2Gold (2,56 CAD; CA11777Q2099) als Käufer der australischen Goldexplorationsgesellschaft Papillon Resources (1,43 AUD; AU000000PIR8) genannt. Am Dienstag folgte dann auch die öffentliche Bekanntgabe der Transaktion und weiterer Details. Demnach möchte B2Gold 74% von Papillon im Rahmen eines reinen Aktientausches übernehmen. Der Aufschlag auf den letzten Kurs der Papillon-Papiere vom 23. Mai beträgt nur moderate 20% und lässt die Hintertür für mögliche Angebote anderer Unternehmen offen. So halten die Analysten der kanadischen Großbank RBC den Preis, basierend auf deren Kurserwartung für die Papillon Aktie von 1,90 AUD für die nächsten 12-Monate, für zu niedrig. Außerdem sehen die Analysten den reinen Aktientausch kritisch und glauben daher, dass durchaus andere Unternehmen auftreten könnten, die den Aktionären zudem eine Cashkomponente versprechen könnten. B2Gold biete 0,661 eigene Stücke für jede Papillon-Aktie. Umgerechnet läge der Angebotspreis bei 1,72 AUD je Anteilsschein und das Gesamtvolumen der Transaktion bei 570 Mio. CAD. Auch wir sind von dem Preis insgesamt enttäuscht, da wir doch eher mit einem Angebot nahe der 2 AUD Marke gerechnet hatten und zudem eine Cashkomponente erwarteten. Inwieweit diese mögliche Transaktion unseren Empfehlungswert Prairie Downs Metals operativ beeinflussen wird, ist noch nicht abzuschätzen. Die Aktie von Prairie Downs verlor am gestrigen Handelstag allerdings fast 8%. Die Australier halten 10 Mio. Papillon-Aktien und hätten sich bei einer Barzahlung über einen Geldregen freuen können. Sollten die Anteile nun ganz oder nur zum Teil in Aktien von B2Gold umgewandelt werden, wäre dies ein kleiner Rückschlag, da die Aktie von B2Gold auf Grund des aktuell schwierigen Goldpreisumfeldes an Wert einbüßen musste. Der Aktie von Papillon hätten wir zudem eine Entwicklung gegen den allgemeinen Trend der Goldaktien zugetraut. Der Hauptgrund für die Übernahme ist Papillons Fekola Goldprojekt in Mali, dass von Branchenkennern als das beste Goldvorkommen in Westafrika bezeichnet wird. Verteilt über alle Kategorien liegen auf dem Projekt rund 5,2 Mio. Unzen Gold.

B2Gold-Aktie: Otjikoto-Projekt in Namibia liegt im Plan!

Scotia Capital Markets
Toronto (www.aktiencheck.de) - B2Gold-Aktienanalyse von Analyst Ovais Habib von Scotia Capital Markets:
Der Aktienanalyst Ovais Habib vom Investmenthaus Scotia Capital Markets stuft die Aktien des kanadischen Goldproduzenten B2Gold Corp. (ISIN: CA11777Q2099, WKN: A0M889, Ticker-Symbol: 5BG, NYSE-Symbol: BTG) unverändert mit dem Rating "Focus Stock" ein.
B2Gold habe einen Zwischenbericht zum Otjikoto-Projekt in Namibia sowie Ergebnisse von Infill-Bohrungen bei Wolfshag vorgelegt.
Otjikoto liege nach Angaben des Unternehmens im Plan, gegen Ende 2014 mit der Goldproduktion zu beginnen. Die Bohrungen bei Wolfshag würden einen Goldgrad über dem Reservengehalt von Otjikoto von 1,42 Gramm pro Tonne zeigen. Die Analysten von Scotia Capital Markets setzen das Projekt im Modell weiterhin mit einem Wert von 558 Mio. CAD an (24% des Asset NAV).
Analyst Ovais Habib schätzt, dass das Projekt zu einem Produktionswachstum von 37% führe, was bei einem Goldpreis von 1.300 USD pro Unze eine Steigerung beim operativen Cash flow von 76% nach sich ziehe.
Kurzprofil B2Gold Corp.:
B2Gold Corp. (ISIN: CA11777Q2099, WKN: A0M889, Ticker-Symbol: 5BG, NYSE-Symbol: BTG) ist ein in Kanada beheimateter Goldproduzent mit Sitz in Vancouver.
B2Gold betreibt drei operative Minen (zwei in Nicaragua und eine auf den Philippinen). Zudem besitz B2Gold ein Portfolio an Entwicklungs- und Explorations-Assets in Nicaragua, Kolumbien, Namibia und Uruguay.

Attraktive Minenaktien
Auffällig ist jedoch weiterhin die enorme Stärke der Minenaktien im Vergleich zum Goldpreis in den vergangenen Monaten. Auch Siegel sieht hier eine Bodenbildung. Es ist eine wellenartige Aufwärtsbewegung seit Jahresanfang zu sehen, die sich im August wieder in die Seite verlagert hat. Insgesamt muss jedoch bedacht werden, dass wir aus einem sehr schwachen Jahr 2013 kommen, die Minenaktien weiterhin stark unterbewertet sind und von Anlegern vernachlässigt werden, sagt Siegel. Dies sieht auch DER AKTIONÄR so und rät deswegen weiterhin auf dem aktuellen Niveau, ausgewählte Goldtitel einzusammeln. Die Favoriten sind hier weiterhin Goldcorp und B2Gold. Aber auch Barrick Gold dürfte nach dem jüngsten Sparkurs mittelfristig zu den Gewinnern zählen.

Dies sieht auch DER AKTIONÄR so und rät deswegen weiterhin auf dem aktuellen Niveau, ausgewählte Goldtitel einzusammeln. Die Favoriten sind hier weiterhin Goldcorp und B2Gold. Aber auch Barrick Gold dürfte nach dem jüngsten Sparkurs mittelfristig zu den Gewinnern zählen.

Geht bestimmt noch unter 1 CAD wenn Gold auf 900 kommt.

Allerdings stehen die Chancen auf eine Bodenbildung sehr gut.
B2Gold hat sich hier m. M. nach noch fabelhaft gehalten.
Einige Miner haben 2/3 innerhalb von 3-6 Monaten eingebüßt.
Bin nur gespannt, ob wir (wie alle Goldminer) heute Nachmittag wieder abverkauft werden.
Wenn nicht, wäre es ein sehr gutes Zeichen.
PS: Der Goldpreis scheint sich über 1120 USD zu stabilisieren.
Mit den unsicheren Zeiten an der Börse, die sicherlich noch nicht zu Ende sind, sollte der Goldpreis auch noch etwas profitieren.
Good luck!

Die Miner wurden nicht mehr zu Handelsschluss abverkauft.
Der Boden dürfte gefunden sein, die Volatilität lässt nach.
Ich gehe weiterhin von einer Stabilisierung des Goldpreises aus, da an den Märkten die nächsten Wochen/Monate weiterhin Unsicherheit bestehen dürfte.
Für mich persönlich ist B2Gold ein Mitfavorit für die nächsten Monate.

Die Frage ist halt, was macht der Goldkurs?
Aktuell hält die sehr wichtige Unterstützung bei 1080 USD noch. Bloß wie lange?
Ein gutes Zeichen für mich ist, dass die Kurse trotz drohender Unterschreitung dieser Marke, relativ stabil bleiben, wenn nicht sogar zulegen können.
Trotz all der Risiken, die noch bestehen, bleibt B2Gold für mich, mit Yamana einer DER Favoriten.
Die Ziele werden mehr als erfüllt und das Wachstum bis 2018 ist auch gigantisch.
Also für mich klare Kaufkurse!

Leider kann B2Gold der Aufwärtsbewegung vom Goldpreis die letzten Tage nicht folgen.
Sicher liegt es auch am starken CAD, was etwas bremst.
Trotzdem ist mir die Ursache der Schwäche noch nicht ganz klar und ich hoffe, dass jetzt endlich mal ein Schub nach oben stattfindet.
Es müssen von B2Gold auch mal positive Meldungen her.
Die Vorschusslorbeeren einiger Analystenhäuser bringen es auch nicht wirklich!

Die Q4 Ergebnisse müssen gut werden, sonst geht es weiter runter. Poduktionszahlungen müssen am oberen Ende der Skala liegen und nicht am unteren Ende .
Man ist auf dem besten Wege eine Barrick 2.0 zu werden . Es werden zu viele Projekte gekauft anstelle die jetzigen zu maximaler Effizienz zu entwickeln. Es nützt dann nichts wenn die spärlichen operativen Gewinne für Zinszahlungen drauf gehen . Die Verschuldung steigt ja ständig an , anstelle das sie runter geht. Das kostet doch langfristig mehr Geld als das es einbringt.
Jetzt wo Fekola durchfinanziert ist sollte man nicht gleich wieder neue Explorationsgebiete kaufen meiner Meinung nach . Sondern nur die Minen optimieren . In 2-3 Jahren wird es immer noch vielversprechende Juniors geben , die man aufkaufen kann . Bei Gold um 1100 gehen noch genug vielversprechende Firmen über die "Wupper" .. Äh bankrott . Da kann man sich dann etwas günstiger bedienen.

Hoffentlich sind es keine Hiobsbotschaften, die wieder einmal ein paar "Auserwählte" früher wussten.
B2 Gold ist die schwächste Goldaktie in meinem Depot, was mich schon sehr verwundert.
Für 2016 ging ich von einer drastischen Erholung aus, der Goldpreis legte schon mal vor.
Jetzt schmeißen möchte ich auch nicht, da es für mich nach wie vor ein sehr interessantes Unternehmen ist.

Scheint einfach in Mode zu sein das das Management sich die Taschen voll macht und die Anleger in die Röhre schauen . Da ist man ja echt besser dran mit Intel , Cisco und Konsorten .
Antwort auf Beitrag Nr.: 51.474.933 von Elrond am 12.01.16 18:35:47Aufstocken werde ich auf gar keinen Fall mehr.
Hab mir schon mehr als mir lieb ist ins Depot geladen, auch weil der Analystenkonsens sehr positiv war.
Am liebsten würde ich jetzt aussteigen, allerdings gehe ich schon von einer Erholung aus, vorausgesetzt der Goldpreis bleibt auf Erholungskurs.
Was noch spekuliert wird (in irgendeinem Forum), dass Goldcorp Interesse an B2Gold hat. Wär natürlich nicht schlecht, vorausgesetzt die zahlen einen fairen Wert, was ich mittlerweile stark bezweifele.
Bei der Managementleistung mach ich mir große Sorgen....

Antwort auf Beitrag Nr.: 51.476.307 von Szween am 12.01.16 21:31:56Mit welcher Dynamik B2Gold in den Boden gerammt wird ist schon erstaunlich!
Wenn ich das geahnt hätte, wär ich schon längst raus.
Guter Rat ist teuer: macht es Sinn, jetzt noch das Handtuch zu werfen?

Ausstoss unter den Erwartungen . Ich denke wir sehen morgen noch mal -10%
Das glaube ich persönlich nicht!
Habe mir jetzt mal den Bericht genau durchgelesen und ich finde den Ausblick für 2016 gut und das zählt m. M.
Geplante AISC 2016: 895-925 $ passt doch. Wachstum finde ich auch o.k.
Die Probleme in 2015 waren bekannt und sind für 2016 auch nicht mehr relevant.
Außerdem ist B2Gold nach wie vor ein potentieller Übernahmekandidat.
Z.B. Goldcorp die seit Jahren schon enttäuschen und alte Minen besitzen schauen sich sicherlich schon laufend nach passenden Kandidaten um.
Somit gehe ich kurz- mittelfristig von steigenden Kursen aus, vorausgesetzt der Goldpreis kollabiert nicht.

Ich glaube auch nicht an weitere Abschläge, und wenn schon. Warum sollten die jetzt alles aus der Erde buddeln. Im übrigen hat B2 auch so stark verloren weil der Gesamtmarkt in den letzten 2 tagen so richtig einen auf die Mütze bekommen hat.
Antwort auf Beitrag Nr.: 51.501.771 von Ratenkredit am 15.01.16 15:27:14Schwieriges Marktumfeld heute.
Ein bisschen bin ich schon über den Rückgang verwundert und dachte, es käme heute zu einer Stabilisierung.
Obwohl der Goldpreis aktuell gut 1,2% zulegen konnte, schmieren die Miner ab.
Gefällt mir alles nicht, allerdings bin ich auf dem jetzigen Niveau nicht mehr bereit zu verkaufen.
(Das gleiche dachte ich mir leider schon am Montag)
Wo soll der Kurs noch hinlaufen. Ist ja jetzt bereits ein Witz, aber an solchen Tagen ist halt mal alles möglich.

Nach schlappen 30% Minus in gefühlt einer Woche! kann von einer Erholung nicht die Rede sein.
Was ist da los?
Kommt evtl. noch mal ein Schub nach unten oder neue Hiobsbotschaften?
Der Goldpreis hat zumindest nicht nachgegeben, an dem kann' s also nicht liegen.

Fekola braucht wohl 150 Mio mehr als veranschlagt .... Mal sehen wie sie das stemmen werden .
Für Neueinsteiger sicherlich ok bei 1 CAD . Aber für alle anderen um 2 CAD absolut enttäuschende Performance.

Jo die Herrschaften müssen die Verschuldung senken . Nur leider schreiben die nicht , wie sie das vor haben .
Wann werden denn die Schulden fällig bzw. welchen Zinssatz muss B2G zahlen? Weiß das jemand?
Nun Pennystock . Vom Management kommt mal nichts an Aufklärung .

Denkt ihr B2gold wird noch tiefer fallen? Bei den Preisen komme ich schon in Versuchung nochmal nachzulegen. Oder soll man lieber auf McEwen Mining setzen. B2gold oder McEwen? Wer wird 2016 outperformen?
Lake Shore Gold ....
Ja Lake Shore sollte interessant werden. Ich würde da auf eine Übernahme wetten!
Man sollte wohl erst mal den Confernce Call abwarten , was die Herrschaften zu sagen haben , um die Krise zu meistern . Cash ist King ... derzeit .
Antwort auf Beitrag Nr.: 51.526.551 von Szween am 19.01.16 11:47:28In Frankreich hätten sie so ein Management schon längst in Geiselhaft genommen.
Es ist zum Haare raufen. Binnen von 3 Wochen annähernd 40% an Wert verloren!
Da hätte ich mir lieber Hebelzertifikate gekauft. Da weiß man im Vorfeld, dass die hoch explosiv sind.
Eine Erholung ist auch nicht in Sicht.
Ach ja: Habe gerade geschmissen. Jetzt kann der Wert wieder steigen........

Antwort auf Beitrag Nr.: 51.553.011 von shamane am 21.01.16 23:17:46Ist schon traurig, dass auf diesem Niveau keine Erholung zu sehen ist.
Problem ist einfach die hohe Verschuldung und das Management liefert nicht!
Bei Yamana ist es das gleiche Drama. Die haben zwar gute Minen, allerdings horrende Schulden.
Es wäre wirklich klüger gewesen in kleinere Player zu investieren, wie Lake Shore oder Newmarket Gold.
Die wurden kaum abgestraft bzw. setzen ihre Aufwärtsbewegung unvermindert fort.
Na vielleicht erbarmt sich ja doch noch ein Großer für eine Übernahme von B2 Gold (oder Yamana)?
Kursziele von über 2 CAD sind aktuell m. M. nach in weiter Ferne gerückt.

So eine Schrottaktie wie Barrick mit Mrd. Schulden gewinnt fast täglich an Wert und B2 Gold fällt ins Bodenlose.
Was soll man dazu noch sagen?
Ich habe bis vor 1 Monat noch gedacht, dass B2Gold zu den Gewinnern im Goldsektor gehören und dann der Komplettabsturz.
Es kommen auch keine Meldungen vom Management ect.
Die sogenannten Analysten- Experten, haben sich komplett verrannt.
Da sieht man mal wieder, was solche Empfehlungen wert sind: nix!!!
Hab mit B2 Gold leider sehr viel Geld verloren, das ich mir über Jahre aufgebaut habe.
Binnen von 2 Monaten weg!
Ist schon hart.

Gold steigt weiter und B2G kriegt es hin im Minus zu schließen . Das zeigt wohl das B2G einfach krass überberwertet war vor einigen Wochen . Dazu nicht die Erwartungen erfüllt . Das kommt dann leider bei raus.

Wenigstens keine Kapitalerhöhung sondern Vorwärtsverkauf .. Mal sehen ob die 1245 Dollar pro Unze , die man bekommt gut sind oder eher schlecht .
Fekola-Projekt durchfinanziert
B2Gold – Aktie nach 200 Mio. USD-Finanzierung im Aufwind
Um fast 9% schossen die Aktien der kanadischen B2Gold (WKN A0M889 / TSX BTO) nach oben, nachdem das Unternehmen zwei Deals mit einem Volumen von insgesamt mehr als 200 Mio. Dollar meldete. Damit hat B2Gold sein Goldprojekt Fekola bis zur Produktion durchfinanziert.
Zum einen gab das Unternehmen einen Vorwärtsverkauf im Umfang von 120 Mio. USD mit den Banken, die B2Gold bereits unterstützen, bekannt. Dafür soll das Unternehmen 2017 und 2018 rund 86.200 Unzen Gold an das Konsortium liefern, die einen Gegenwert von rund 100 Mio. USD haben. Das stellt ungefähr 7% bzw. 5% der für 2017 bzw. 2018 vorhergesagten Produktion dar.
Die Zahl der zu liefernden Unzen beruhe dabei auf einem Goldpreis von 1.248 USD pro Unze, erklärte B2Gold. Man gehe davon aus, für die restlichen 20 Mio. USD eine weitere Vorwärtsverkaufsvereinbarung abzuschließen, hieß es weiter.
B2Gold erklärte zudem, dass man eine Vereinbarung mit Caterpillar im Wert von 81 Mio. USD über die Finanzierung der Fahrzeugflotte und anderen Equipments für Fekola, das Projekt gehört dem Unternehmen zu 90%, unterzeichnet habe. Diese Summe wird B2Gold für fünf Jahre zur Verfügung stehen und ist in 20 gleichen Quartalsraten zurückzuzahlen. Gleichzeitig erhöhte B2Gold seine Equipmentfinanzierung mit Caterpillar in Bezug auf die Goldmine Otjikoto in Namibia um 4,5 auf 45,4 Mio. USD.
B2Gold hatte das Fekola-Projekt, das in Mali an der Grenze zum Senegal liegt, als Teil der 570 Mio. Dollar schweren Übernahme von Papillon Resources 2014 erworben. Die Lagerstätte weist 3,72 Mio. Unzen Gold bei durchschnittlich 2,35 Gramm Gold pro Tonne auf.
Seit 2009 hat B2Gold Akquisitionen im Wert von 1,9 Mrd. Dollar getätigt. Das Unternehmen rechnet für 2016 mit einer Goldproduktion von 510.000 bis 550.000 Unzen. Diese soll 2018 dann 800.000 bis 850.000 Unzen betragen, wenn auch die Minen in Namibia, auf den Philippinen und in Nicaragua in Betrieb sind.

B2 Gold dürfte weiter Aufwärts streben, ich halte weiter meine Stücke, zahlen sind gut. Sollte Gold weiter steigen wird's hier richtig abgehen.Schließlich hat man die EM Krise genutzt um Minen zu kaufen.

Nachdem man schon mal fürs erste gelernt hat , einen weiteren Minenbau nicht mit Schulden zu finanzieren , bleibt zu hoffen das man auch bestrebt ist die derzeitigen Verbindlichkeiten zu reduzieren . Dann entfernt man sich doch um einiges von einer Barrick 2.0 , die nur alles auf "Pump" erworben haben.

Dieses Quartal geht in die Geschichtsbücher ein
Lieber Leser,
das kanadische Goldbergbau-Unternehmen B2Gold erlebte einen wahrhaften güldenen Spätherbst. Denn das Ergebnis für das Schlussquartal 2015 brach eine Vielzahl an Rekordmarken.
Rekordfördermenge
Der erste Rekord betraf die Fördermenge. B2Gold konnte insgesamt 131.469 Unzen Gold zutage fördern. Damit übertraf man das Ergebnis aus dem Vergleichszeitraum des Vorjahrs um 18 %. Während dieser Zeit konnte das Unternehmen 127.482 Unzen Gold verkaufen und erlöste bei einem Durchschnittspreis von 1.090 Dollar insgesamt 139 Mio. Dollar.
Förderkosten sind der Knüller
Was aus meiner Sicht aber ein wirklicher Knüller ist, sind die Förderkosten, zu denen B2Gold operiert. So betrugen die operativen Betriebskosten lediglich 527 Dollar je Unze. Damit lag das Unternehmen 119 Dollar oder 18 % unter den Vorjahreskosten. Auch die Gesamtbetriebskosten verharrten bei branchenweit niedrigen 807 Dollar. Im Vorjahr zahlte man noch 139 Dollar mehr, was auf eine Kostenersparnis von 15 % hinauslief.
Selbst bei niedrigem Goldpreis noch Rendite
In der Praxis bedeutet dies, dass B2Gold auch bei einem niedrigen Goldpreis von 1.000 Dollar je Feinunze noch mit Gewinn wirtschaftet. Vor dieser Aufgabe musste die Konkurrenz in der Vergangenheit oft genug kapitulieren. Bei dem jetzt steigenden Goldpreis ist die Marge natürlich nochmals ungleich größer.
Reichlich Cashflow für Investitionen
Diese positive Entwicklung schlägt sich auch im Cashflow nieder. Der Barmittelzufluss wuchs um 7,4 Mio. Dollar (18 %) an und liegt nun bei 48,5 Mio. Dollar, was einer Quote von 5 Cent je Aktie entspricht. Mit diesem Kapital lässt sich nun kräftig investieren. So konnte B2Gold zu Jahresende zwei wichtige Kredite finanzieren, die zur vollständigen Übernahme der Fekola Mine in Mali dienen sollen.

B2Gold Was Free Cash Flow-Neutral On A Sustaining Basis
March 20, 2016 5:19 AM ET | seekingalpha.com
Summary:
- B2Gold reported decent financial results over 2015.
- The company was slightly free cash flow-positive, but clearly needed additional capital for its Fekola commitments.
- The pre-payment facility is a good deal, as it doesn't count as debt, and thus, doesn't impact the net debt position either.
- The development of Fekola remains on track, and the initial gold pour should occur by the end of next year.

Zonte pursues fractional claims over Gramalote in Colombia
By: Lesley Stokes March 22, 2016
VANCOUVER — It’s been a couple of years since Zonte Metals (TSXV: ZON) first spotted — and applied for — fractional claims over joint-venture partners’ AngloGold Ashanti (NYSE: AU) and B2Gold’s (TSX: BTO; NYSE-MKT: BTG) multimillion-ounce gold Gramalote gold deposit, 80 km northwest of Medellin, Colombia, but the country’s secretary of mines continues to deny the Nova Scotia-based junior rights to the land title.
The department reaffirmed its decision to Zonte in late January on the grounds that the area in dispute — which measures 0.3 sq. km — is too small to become a mine, and the application would interfere with the joint-venture partners’ potential mining operation.
According to Terry Christopher, president and CEO of Zonte, the company’s application has not been processed with respect to the country’s mining code, stating that “there is no minimum size” on land applications, and points to a recently issued title in Colombia that covered less than 0.001 sq. km.
Christopher tells The Northern Miner during a phone interview that the company intends to advance the dispute through Colombia’s court system.
“We’re basically at this point in the process now where we can sit down with the secretary of mines and explain our case to them, and vice versa,” he says. “Once we get past this meeting we can finally go to a special court … and according to our legal counsel, the special court is the level where we need to be to have the power to request the application to be processed in respect to the mining code.”

Zonte first sieved through the country’s land titles in 2013, when it identified a number of narrow gaps between title areas — otherwise known as “fractional” claims — sitting across Gramalote, and submitted an application for title.
The gaps measure 21 metres wide and 600 metres long, 13 metres wide and 400 metres long, and 58 metres wide and over 500 metres long.
“I don’t know why they’re there, but it looks like someone tried to match it point by point and missed by 20 or 30 metres,” he says. “There are a bunch of these that we’ve identified, and this one was the first in line.”
Christopher says that Zonte wasn’t the first company to notice the fractional claims — to his knowledge, an individual made a similar application over the ground in 2006, and a subsidiary of AngloGold Ashanti repeated the same process in 2009 — but neither attempts to close the ground were successful.
“The way it works in Colombia is that if you miss an application deadline — no matter if you’re right or wrong — the application dies … so the onus is on you to keep your eye on the ball,” he says.
After rejections from the department since 2013, Zonte armed itself with a legal counsel helmed by a former director at Colombia’s secretary of mines, and “without that particular guidance, we would’ve just walked away,” Christopher adds.
Although Christopher couldn’t provide any timelines on when the company can expect a final resolution, he says that he’s “impressed with the speed at which things happen in court.
“We made an application in mid-August last year to get the secretary of mines to issue us a formal answer, and they were dragging their heels and missing all the dates … so when we finally went to court about it, the judge was strict to set specific dates for an answer,” he says.
Gramalote is an intrusive-hosted and structurally controlled gold deposit with 2.69 million oz. gold within 132.7 million measured and indicated tonnes grading 0.63 gram gold per tonne, and 3.36 million oz. gold within 239.7 million inferred tonnes grading 0.44 gram gold.
While Zonte made its initial claim applications, B2Gold and Ashanti evaluated the deposit for development and released a preliminary economic study in March 2014, which envisaged a 14-year mine life, producing 317,500 oz. gold per year at cash costs of US$664 per oz.
The US$1.2-billion mine would have a US$398-million after-tax net present value (using a 5% discount rate and US$1,351 per oz. gold) and an 11.5% internal rate of return.
But in the face of deteriorating gold prices, Gramalote’s chance of becoming one of the first modern commercial-scale gold mines in Colombia took a hit when B2Gold said it would not move forward on a feasibility study until market conditions improve.
For Zonte, Christopher says the the company’s strategy is to “get through the application process according to the rules outlined in the mining code.
“We have prepaid our law firm, which will take us all the way through special court, so we’ll see what happens after that,” he says.
Zonte Metals has traded within a 52-week range of 2¢ to 15¢, and closed at 7¢ at press time. The company has 26.2 million shares outstanding for a $2-million market capitalization.

"...Fünf Goldaktien, die direkt am Goldpreis hängen
RBC-Nordamerika-Goldaktien-Favorit bei einem Goldpreisanstieg auf 1.300 Dollar, Nummer zwei: B2Gold Corp. (WKN: A0M889, 2,12 Kanada-Dollar, 1,42 Euro)
Nach zunächst starken Einbußen zum Jahresauftakt dürften sich die Aktionäre von B2Gold mittlerweile über eine bisher starke Performance-Bilanz in diesem Jahr freuen. Gemessen an dem am 25. Januar bei 0,90 Kanada-Dollar markierten Zwischentief hat der Aktienkurs des zu den Tier II-Produzenten zählenden Unternehmens seitdem um 135,6 Prozent zugelegt.
Das Ende der Fahnenstange muss damit aber noch nicht erreicht sein. Selbst beim Basisszenario der RBC, das von einem langfristigen Goldpreis von 1.250 Dollar ausgeht, veranschlagen die Analysten das Kursziel auf 2,50 Kanada-Dollar. Der Berechnung bei einem Goldpreis von 1.300 Dollar zufolge, wären bei dieser Konstellation sogar 3,00 Dollar drin - ein potenzieller Anstieg von rund 65 Prozent. Wobei selbst das noch klar unter dem im April 2012 bei 4,50 Kanada-Dollar aufgestellten Rekordhoch liegen würde.
Zur Begründung für die zuversichtliche Beurteilung der Aktie verweist RBC auf die Aussicht auf eine steigende Produktion, sinkende Kosten und dem Schub, der davon ausgehen wird, wenn 2018 die Fekola-Mine in Mali voll in Betrieb gehen dürfte. Für die ersten fünf Jahre wird die Produktion dort auf 350.000 Unten Gold zu Kosten von 525 Dollar je Feinunze geschätzt. Die Goldproduktion insgesamt würde sich dadurch dann im Jahr 2018 auf 860.000 Unten erhöhen.
Durch jüngst vollzogene Kapitalmaßnahmen sei der Ausbau dieser Abbaustätte sichergestellt und dadurch sei viel Unsicherheit vom Aktienkurs genommen worden. Im Vergleich mit ähnlich großen Konkurrenten sei der Titel nach wie vor mit einem Bewertungsabschlag ausgestattet. Durch Aktivitäten in Namibia, den Philippinen, Nicaragua und Mali ist aber ein erhöhtes Länderrisiko bei dieser Gesellschaft zu beachten.
Was die Unternehmensentwicklung angeht, hat B2Gold für das vierte Quartal 2015 eine rekordhohe Produktion von 131.469 Unzen gemeldet. Die Einnahmen aus dem Goldverkauf wurden auf 139 Million Dollar beziffert bei Verkaufspreisen von im Schnitt 1.090 Dollar pro Unze. Die konsolidierten operativen Kosten wurden auf 527 Dollar je Unzen beziffert, was verglichen mit dem vierten Quartal 2015 18 Prozent weniger waren. Die gesamten Produktionskosten beliefen sich auf 807 Dollar, eine Reduktion von 15 Prozent.

News Release
B2Gold Corp. Reports Quarterly Gold Production for First Quarter 2016
Apr 27, 2016
- Completed Financing Arrangements for Fekola Mine Construction
- Otjikoto Mine Update
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - April 27, 2016) - B2Gold Corp. (TSX:BTO)(NYSE MKT:BTG)(NAMIBIAN:B2G) ("B2Gold" or the "Company") is pleased to announce its gold production and revenue for the first quarter of 2016. All dollar figures are in United States dollars unless otherwise indicated.
2016 First Quarter Highlights
Consolidated gold production of 127,844 ounces; 10% greater than in the same period in 2015 and 8,966 ounces better than budget
Gold sales of 120,899 ounces
Gold revenue of $144.3 million
Completed financing arrangements for $120 million in prepaid gold sales
Signed commitment letter to enter into a Euro equivalent $81 million Equipment Facility with Caterpillar Financial SARL for the Fekola project
Construction of the Fekola mine is well underway, on schedule and on budget, to commence production in late 2017
On track to meet 2016 consolidated gold production guidance of between 510,000 to 550,000 ounces at cash operating costs of between $560 to $595 per ounce and all-in sustaining costs of between $895 to $925 per ounce
Masbate mine gold production exceeded budget by 16%
First Quarter 2016 Gold Production
Consolidated gold production in the first quarter of 2016 was 127,844 ounces. This exceeded budget by 8,966 ounces, 10% greater than in the same period of the previous year (consolidated gold production in the first quarter of 2015 was 115,859, including 18,815 ounces of pre-commercial production from the Otjikoto mine).
The increase in gold production was primarily attributable to strong quarterly production from the Company's Masbate mine in the Philippines and La Libertad mine in Nicaragua. The Otjikoto mine in Namibia was in line with budget while El Limon mine in Nicaragua was slightly behind budget, mainly due to the lower grade processed in the first quarter of 2016.
B2Gold is projecting another record year for gold production in 2016. Consolidated gold production in 2016 is expected to be in the range of 510,000 to 550,000 ounces. Consolidated cash operating costs in 2016 are expected to be in the range of $560 to $595 per ounce, compared to $616 per ounce in 2015. Gold production for the year is expected to be weighted to the second half.
On April 26, 2016, the Otjikoto mine experienced a slope failure on the pit access ramp. The failure, which did not result in any injuries or damage to equipment, occurred on a fault plane that had been activated by the recent rainy season. The stability of the slope above and below the access ramp had been monitored for several months. Safety and production mitigation measures were planned and implemented prior to the failure. As a result of implementing these measures, second quarter and full year 2016 production at the Otjikoto mine are not expected to be impacted.
Gold Revenue
Gold revenue for the first quarter of 2016 was $144.3 million on gold sales of 120,899 ounces at an average price of $1,193 per ounce. This compares to gold revenue for the first quarter of 2015 of $138.9 million (or $162 million including $23.1 million of pre-commercial sales from the Otjikoto mine) on gold sales of 114,799 ounces at an average price of $1,210 per ounce. The increase in revenue is mainly due to increased production from the Masbate and La Libertad mines compared to the same period of the previous year.
Operations
Actual first quarter 2016 gold production and 2016 annual gold production guidance by mine:
Mine Q1 2016 Gold Production
(ounces) 2016 Annual Gold Production Guidance
(ounces)
Otjikoto 35,703 160,000 - 170,000
Masbate 52,727 175,000 - 185,000
La Libertad 29,198 125,000 - 135,000
El Limon 10,216 50,000 - 60,000
B2Gold Consolidated 127,844 510,000 - 550,000
Otjikoto Mine, Namibia: Open-pit
Gold production at the Otjikoto mine for the first quarter of 2016 was 35,703 ounces against a budget of 35,653 ounces, exceeding budget by 50 ounces and 4,569 ounces higher than the same period of the previous year. For the same period in 2015, the Otjikoto mine's total gold production was 31,134 ounces (including 18,815 ounces of pre-commercial production). With the success of the plant expansion project, completed in the third quarter of 2015, the budgeted throughput rate for 2016 was increased from 6,855 tonnes per day to 9,024 tonnes per day. For the first quarter of 2016, mill throughput was 822,602 tonnes compared to a budget of 821,184 tonnes. The average daily mill throughput for the first quarter of 2016 was 9,040 tonnes per day versus a budget of 9,024 tonnes per day. The average mill recoveries for the first quarter of 2016 were 98.5%, compared to a budget of 97% and recoveries during the same period of the previous year of 96%. The higher recoveries are mainly attributable to a high proportion of coarse gold (60%), combined with leach and CIP recoveries, which were well above target. The average gold grade processed in the first quarter of 2016 was 1.37 g/t compared to a budget of 1.39 g/t.
Following the slope failure on the pit access ramp on April 26, 2016, the Otjikoto mine team in conjunction with consultant experts, have already adopted a plan to buttress the failure zone and recover the access ramp, which will be utilized until the depletion of the Phase 1 pit ore in November 2016. Ore supply will be supplemented from other sources whilst the ramp is being repaired and made safe.
Ore supply to the processing plant will continue to be derived from over one million tonnes of stockpiled ore, together with ore extracted from Phase 1 after recovery of the ramp, and from the northern end of Phase 2.
The Company's guidance for the Otjikoto mine remains unchanged. In 2016, the Otjikoto mine is expected to produce between 160,000 to 170,000 ounces of gold at cash operating costs of between $400 to $440 per ounce. The mine is on target to achieve budgeted gold production for the year. With the high-grade Wolfshag zone entering the production phase towards the end of the fourth quarter 2016, gold production in 2017 is expected to increase significantly. A new life of mine plan, based on the new grade model and geotechnical data, is expected to be completed during the fourth quarter of 2016, which will include mining from the Wolfshag deposit.
Masbate Mine, The Philippines: Open-pit
The Masbate mine had a very strong first quarter in 2016, producing 52,727 ounces of gold against a budget of 45,483 ounces, 7,244 ounces or 16% better than budget, and an increase of 14% or 6,486 ounces compared to the same period in 2015 (gold production for the first quarter in 2015 at the Masbate mine was 46,241 ounces). Gold production improved mainly due to better grades from the Main Vein pit, better throughput and better recoveries. Mill throughput for the first quarter of 2016 was 1,785,891 tonnes compared to a budget of 1,658,404 tonnes and 1,756,234 tonnes in the first quarter of 2015. The average gold grade processed was 1.26 g/t compared to a budgeted grade of 1.21 g/t and first quarter 2015 grades of 1.05 g/t. Mill recoveries averaged 72.86% better than budgeted recoveries of 70.3% but lower than recoveries in the first quarter of 2015 of 78.5%. Recoveries were slightly less than the same period the previous year due to less oxide material being processed at the mill. However, the Company procesed 30% oxide material and 70% sulfide and transitional material in the first quarter of 2016 versus a budget of 14% and 86%, respectively. B2Gold expects to mine a similar ratio of oxide ore (30%) and sulfide/transitional ore (70%) against a budget of 17% oxide ore and 83% sulfide/transitional ore in the second quarter of 2016.
B2Gold is in the process of completing a process plant upgrade at the Masbate mine. The plant will be completed in phases and is expected to be commissioned and in productrion by the end of the third quarter of 2016. Key milestones include the following:
Carbon Harvest Screen installation
Leaching/Adsorption tank completion
Grinding Circuit upgrades completion
Water Treatment Plant and Cooling System upgrade completion
Carbon Regeneration Kiln installation and commissioning
The Masbate mine is projected to produce approximately 175,000 to 185,000 ounces of gold in 2016 at cash operating costs of approximately $620 to $660 per ounce.
La Libertad Mine, Nicaragua: Open-pit and Underground Mine
La Libertad completed a solid first quarter in 2016, processing 576,487 tonnes compared to a budget of 573,236 tonnes (for the first quarter of 2015 it was 568,006 tonnes) to produce 29,198 ounces of gold against a budget of 25,984 ounces, 3,214 ounces and 12% better than budget. This was an increase of 15% or 3,872 ounces compared to the same period the previous year (gold production at La Libertad in the first quarter of 2015 was 25,326 ounces). The average gold grade processed in the first quarter of 2016 was 1.66 g/t compared to a budget of 1.50 g/t and first quarter 2015 grades of 1.48 g/t. Mill recoveries for the first quarter averaged 94.7% compared to a budget of 94% (for the first quarter of 2015 they were 93.9%).
During the first quarter of 2016, La Libertad had better grade and recoveries than in the same period in 2015, mainly due to processing of less spent ore, and processing higher grades from the Jabali Central and Las Angeles pits.
Mining from the higher grade Jabali Antenna pit was scheduled to commence in the second quarter of 2016. However, the Company has experienced additional delays in relocation and permitting activities. As a result, the Company now anticipates that the Jabali Antenna pit will enter the production stream in late 2016, upon completion of the resettlement activities and receipt of remaining mining permits.
By mining additional material from Jabali Central and Mojon underground, management believes that any 2016 production shortfalls arising from delays in accessing ore at the Jabali Antenna pit can be offset. Therefore, La Libertad still expects to meet 2016 production guidance of between 125,000 to 135,000 ounces of gold in 2016 at cash operating costs of approximately $650 to $680 per ounce.
El Limon Mine, Nicaragua: Open-pit and Underground
First quarter gold production in 2016 at El Limon mine was 10,216 ounces versus a budget of 11,758 ounces, which was 1,542 ounces or 13% below budget (gold production at El Limon in the first quarter of 2015 was 13,158 ounces). The average gold grade processed during the first quarter was 2.92 g/t compared to budgeted grades of 3.63 g/t and first quarter 2015 grades of 3.54 g/t. Mill recoveries averaged 93.6% compared to budgeted recoveries of 93.5% and first quarter 2015 recoveries of 94.1%. Mill throughput for the first quarter of 2016 was 116,481 tonnes compared to a budget of 107,693 tonnes and 122,677 tonnes for the same period the previous year.
The main reason for this shortfall compared to budget in the first quarter of 2016 is due to limited access to higher grade ore from deeper stopes at Santa Pancha 1. A dewatering system using a vertical bore hole was developed to control water, however the water flows were found not to be adequate. This resulted in a delay in accessing higher grade deeper stopes. In March 2016, B2Gold completed drilling of a series of horizontal dewatering holes at the lowest expected elevation to be mined in fiscal 2016. Mine water levels are now fully controlled, and mining is now advancing as planned at Santa Pancha 1. Management remains confident that El Limon, which represents approximately 10% of B2Gold's 2016 consolidated gold production, will be able to meet 2016 guidance at El Limon, however production will be weighted towards the second half of the year.
EL Limon mine is projected to produce approximately 50,000 to 60,000 ounces of gold in 2016 at cash operating costs of approximately $610 to $650 per ounce.
Development
Fekola Development Project, Mali
On June 11, 2015, the Company announced robust results from the optimized Feasibility Study at the Fekola project in Mali. According to the Feasibility Study, the current average annual gold production for the first seven years will be approximately 350,000 ounces per year at an average cash operating cost of $418 per ounce and for the life of mine plan approximately 276,000 ounces per year at average cash operating costs of $552 per ounce. (The total pre-production capital costs were estimated to be $395 million plus $67 million of anticipated mine fleet and power generator costs which are expected to be lease financed.) Sunk costs related to early works (including access roads, construction aggregate stockpiling, airstrip construction, and land clearing) of approximately $38 million are not included in the total pre-production capital estimate.
In the first quarter of 2016, B2Gold's construction team continued to develop the Fekola project on schedule and on budget. Significant activities included:
Material completion of the tailings dam walls (excluding a small opening to allow runoff during the 2016 rainy season);
Commencement of construction on the process water and contact water dams;
Completion of pilings installation in the mill area;
Initiation of concrete pouring at the crusher and reclaim stockpile;
Completion of Phase 1 permanent camp construction;
On-going crushing and screening of aggregate necessary for earthworks;
Increased workforce to approximately 700 employees and contractors.
Capital expenditures in the first quarter of 2016 totaled $42 million versus a budget of $72 million. The variance was mainly due to the timing of payments for some key pieces of equipment. The project remains on schedule and on budget.
In addition to the on-site progress, the B2Gold project team continues to work on final design, procurement, and planning. Most major construction packages have been ordered and the project engineering team (Lycopodium) remains on schedule to issue all construction drawings on a schedule necessary to complete the project on time.
The Fekola property also has excellent exploration potential. B2Gold has commenced a 54,000 metre diamond, reverse circulation, auger and aircore drill program to follow up on the successful 2015 program.

Prepaid Gold Sales Arrangements
On March 16, 2016, the Company completed $120 million in Prepaid Sales Financing Arrangements from members of its Revolving Credit Facility Bank Syndicate of Banks. The Prepaid Sales, in the form of metal sales forward contracts, allow the Company to deliver predetermined volumes of gold on agreed future delivery dates in exchange for an upfront cash prepayment ("Prepaid Amount").
The Prepaid Sales Arrangements have a term of 33 months, which commenced on March 2016, and settlement will be in the form of physical deliveries of unallocated gold from any of the Company's mines in 24 equal monthly installments during 2017 and 2018.
Initial Prepaid Sales contracts have been entered into for the delivery of approximately 51,600 ounces of gold in each of 2017 and 2018, for total cash Prepaid Amount proceeds of $120 million. The ounces to be delivered represent approximately 9% and 6% of forecast consolidated gold production in 2017 and 2018, respectively. Proceeds from the Prepaid Sales will be used for the construction of the Company's Fekola project in Mali.
Fekola Equipment Facility
On March 14, 2016, the Company signed a commitment letter to enter into a Euro equivalent of $81 million term Equipment Facility ("The Facility") with Caterpillar Financial SARL ("Caterpillar"), as Mandated Lead Arranger, and Caterpillar Financial Services Corporation, as original lender. The aggregate principal amount of up Euro equivalent of $81 million is to be made available to the Company's majority-owned subsidiary, Fekola S.A. to finance or refinance the mining fleet and other mining equipment at the Company's Fekola project in Mali.
The Facility shall be available for a period commencing on the closing date of The Facility and ending on the earlier of the day when the Facility is fully drawn and 30 months from the closing date of The Facility. Completion and funding under the Facility are subject to normal conditions precedent, including the preparation and execution of definitive documentation, due diligence and receipt of any necessary regulatory approvals.
The Facility may be drawn in installments of not less than Euro 5 million, and each such installment shall be treated as a separate equipment loan.
Each equipment loan is repayable in 20 equal quarterly installments. The final repayment date shall be five years from the first disbursement under each equipment loan.
The Facility has an interest rate of EURIBOR plus a margin of 3.85% on equipment loans advanced under The Facility and a commitment fee of 1.15% per annum on the undrawn balance of The Facility for the first 24 months of the availability period and 0.5% thereafter, each payable quarterly.
The Company believes that with the receipt of cash Prepaid Sales funds of $120 million and closing of a Euro equivalent of $81 million Fekola Equipment Facility, based on current assumptions, the construction of the Fekola project is fully funded and remains on schedule to commence gold production in late 2017.

News Release
B2Gold Corp. Reports Quarterly Gold Production for First Quarter 2016
Apr 27, 2016
- Completed Financing Arrangements for Fekola Mine Construction
- Otjikoto Mine Update
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - April 27, 2016) - B2Gold Corp. (TSX:BTO)(NYSE MKT:BTG)(NAMIBIAN:B2G) ("B2Gold" or the "Company") is pleased to announce its gold production and revenue for the first quarter of 2016. All dollar figures are in United States dollars unless otherwise indicated.
2016 First Quarter Highlights
Consolidated gold production of 127,844 ounces; 10% greater than in the same period in 2015 and 8,966 ounces better than budget
Gold sales of 120,899 ounces
Gold revenue of $144.3 million
Completed financing arrangements for $120 million in prepaid gold sales
Signed commitment letter to enter into a Euro equivalent $81 million Equipment Facility with Caterpillar Financial SARL for the Fekola project
Construction of the Fekola mine is well underway, on schedule and on budget, to commence production in late 2017
On track to meet 2016 consolidated gold production guidance of between 510,000 to 550,000 ounces at cash operating costs of between $560 to $595 per ounce and all-in sustaining costs of between $895 to $925 per ounce
Masbate mine gold production exceeded budget by 16%
First Quarter 2016 Gold Production
Consolidated gold production in the first quarter of 2016 was 127,844 ounces. This exceeded budget by 8,966 ounces, 10% greater than in the same period of the previous year (consolidated gold production in the first quarter of 2015 was 115,859, including 18,815 ounces of pre-commercial production from the Otjikoto mine).
The increase in gold production was primarily attributable to strong quarterly production from the Company's Masbate mine in the Philippines and La Libertad mine in Nicaragua. The Otjikoto mine in Namibia was in line with budget while El Limon mine in Nicaragua was slightly behind budget, mainly due to the lower grade processed in the first quarter of 2016.
B2Gold is projecting another record year for gold production in 2016. Consolidated gold production in 2016 is expected to be in the range of 510,000 to 550,000 ounces. Consolidated cash operating costs in 2016 are expected to be in the range of $560 to $595 per ounce, compared to $616 per ounce in 2015. Gold production for the year is expected to be weighted to the second half.
On April 26, 2016, the Otjikoto mine experienced a slope failure on the pit access ramp. The failure, which did not result in any injuries or damage to equipment, occurred on a fault plane that had been activated by the recent rainy season. The stability of the slope above and below the access ramp had been monitored for several months. Safety and production mitigation measures were planned and implemented prior to the failure. As a result of implementing these measures, second quarter and full year 2016 production at the Otjikoto mine are not expected to be impacted.
Gold Revenue
Gold revenue for the first quarter of 2016 was $144.3 million on gold sales of 120,899 ounces at an average price of $1,193 per ounce. This compares to gold revenue for the first quarter of 2015 of $138.9 million (or $162 million including $23.1 million of pre-commercial sales from the Otjikoto mine) on gold sales of 114,799 ounces at an average price of $1,210 per ounce. The increase in revenue is mainly due to increased production from the Masbate and La Libertad mines compared to the same period of the previous year.
Operations
Actual first quarter 2016 gold production and 2016 annual gold production guidance by mine:
Mine Q1 2016 Gold Production
(ounces) 2016 Annual Gold Production Guidance
(ounces)
Otjikoto 35,703 160,000 - 170,000
Masbate 52,727 175,000 - 185,000
La Libertad 29,198 125,000 - 135,000
El Limon 10,216 50,000 - 60,000
B2Gold Consolidated 127,844 510,000 - 550,000
Otjikoto Mine, Namibia: Open-pit
Gold production at the Otjikoto mine for the first quarter of 2016 was 35,703 ounces against a budget of 35,653 ounces, exceeding budget by 50 ounces and 4,569 ounces higher than the same period of the previous year. For the same period in 2015, the Otjikoto mine's total gold production was 31,134 ounces (including 18,815 ounces of pre-commercial production). With the success of the plant expansion project, completed in the third quarter of 2015, the budgeted throughput rate for 2016 was increased from 6,855 tonnes per day to 9,024 tonnes per day. For the first quarter of 2016, mill throughput was 822,602 tonnes compared to a budget of 821,184 tonnes. The average daily mill throughput for the first quarter of 2016 was 9,040 tonnes per day versus a budget of 9,024 tonnes per day. The average mill recoveries for the first quarter of 2016 were 98.5%, compared to a budget of 97% and recoveries during the same period of the previous year of 96%. The higher recoveries are mainly attributable to a high proportion of coarse gold (60%), combined with leach and CIP recoveries, which were well above target. The average gold grade processed in the first quarter of 2016 was 1.37 g/t compared to a budget of 1.39 g/t.
Following the slope failure on the pit access ramp on April 26, 2016, the Otjikoto mine team in conjunction with consultant experts, have already adopted a plan to buttress the failure zone and recover the access ramp, which will be utilized until the depletion of the Phase 1 pit ore in November 2016. Ore supply will be supplemented from other sources whilst the ramp is being repaired and made safe.
Ore supply to the processing plant will continue to be derived from over one million tonnes of stockpiled ore, together with ore extracted from Phase 1 after recovery of the ramp, and from the northern end of Phase 2.
The Company's guidance for the Otjikoto mine remains unchanged. In 2016, the Otjikoto mine is expected to produce between 160,000 to 170,000 ounces of gold at cash operating costs of between $400 to $440 per ounce. The mine is on target to achieve budgeted gold production for the year. With the high-grade Wolfshag zone entering the production phase towards the end of the fourth quarter 2016, gold production in 2017 is expected to increase significantly. A new life of mine plan, based on the new grade model and geotechnical data, is expected to be completed during the fourth quarter of 2016, which will include mining from the Wolfshag deposit.
Masbate Mine, The Philippines: Open-pit
The Masbate mine had a very strong first quarter in 2016, producing 52,727 ounces of gold against a budget of 45,483 ounces, 7,244 ounces or 16% better than budget, and an increase of 14% or 6,486 ounces compared to the same period in 2015 (gold production for the first quarter in 2015 at the Masbate mine was 46,241 ounces). Gold production improved mainly due to better grades from the Main Vein pit, better throughput and better recoveries. Mill throughput for the first quarter of 2016 was 1,785,891 tonnes compared to a budget of 1,658,404 tonnes and 1,756,234 tonnes in the first quarter of 2015. The average gold grade processed was 1.26 g/t compared to a budgeted grade of 1.21 g/t and first quarter 2015 grades of 1.05 g/t. Mill recoveries averaged 72.86% better than budgeted recoveries of 70.3% but lower than recoveries in the first quarter of 2015 of 78.5%. Recoveries were slightly less than the same period the previous year due to less oxide material being processed at the mill. However, the Company procesed 30% oxide material and 70% sulfide and transitional material in the first quarter of 2016 versus a budget of 14% and 86%, respectively. B2Gold expects to mine a similar ratio of oxide ore (30%) and sulfide/transitional ore (70%) against a budget of 17% oxide ore and 83% sulfide/transitional ore in the second quarter of 2016.
B2Gold is in the process of completing a process plant upgrade at the Masbate mine. The plant will be completed in phases and is expected to be commissioned and in productrion by the end of the third quarter of 2016. Key milestones include the following:
Carbon Harvest Screen installation
Leaching/Adsorption tank completion
Grinding Circuit upgrades completion
Water Treatment Plant and Cooling System upgrade completion
Carbon Regeneration Kiln installation and commissioning
The Masbate mine is projected to produce approximately 175,000 to 185,000 ounces of gold in 2016 at cash operating costs of approximately $620 to $660 per ounce.
La Libertad Mine, Nicaragua: Open-pit and Underground Mine
La Libertad completed a solid first quarter in 2016, processing 576,487 tonnes compared to a budget of 573,236 tonnes (for the first quarter of 2015 it was 568,006 tonnes) to produce 29,198 ounces of gold against a budget of 25,984 ounces, 3,214 ounces and 12% better than budget. This was an increase of 15% or 3,872 ounces compared to the same period the previous year (gold production at La Libertad in the first quarter of 2015 was 25,326 ounces). The average gold grade processed in the first quarter of 2016 was 1.66 g/t compared to a budget of 1.50 g/t and first quarter 2015 grades of 1.48 g/t. Mill recoveries for the first quarter averaged 94.7% compared to a budget of 94% (for the first quarter of 2015 they were 93.9%).
During the first quarter of 2016, La Libertad had better grade and recoveries than in the same period in 2015, mainly due to processing of less spent ore, and processing higher grades from the Jabali Central and Las Angeles pits.
Mining from the higher grade Jabali Antenna pit was scheduled to commence in the second quarter of 2016. However, the Company has experienced additional delays in relocation and permitting activities.

Therefore, La Libertad still expects to meet 2016 production guidance of between 125,000 to 135,000 ounces of gold in 2016 at cash operating costs of approximately $650 to $680 per ounce.
El Limon Mine, Nicaragua: Open-pit and Underground
First quarter gold production in 2016 at El Limon mine was 10,216 ounces versus a budget of 11,758 ounces, which was 1,542 ounces or 13% below budget (gold production at El Limon in the first quarter of 2015 was 13,158 ounces). The average gold grade processed during the first quarter was 2.92 g/t compared to budgeted grades of 3.63 g/t and first quarter 2015 grades of 3.54 g/t. Mill recoveries averaged 93.6% compared to budgeted recoveries of 93.5% and first quarter 2015 recoveries of 94.1%. Mill throughput for the first quarter of 2016 was 116,481 tonnes compared to a budget of 107,693 tonnes and 122,677 tonnes for the same period the previous year.
The main reason for this shortfall compared to budget in the first quarter of 2016 is due to limited access to higher grade ore from deeper stopes at Santa Pancha 1.

First Quarter Results 2016
Achieves Record Low Consolidated Cash Operating Costs
Vancouver, May 11, 2016 – B2Gold Corp. (TSX: BTO, NYSE MKT: BTG, NSX: B2G) (“B2Gold” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce its operational and financial results for the first quarter of 2016. The Company previously released its gold production and revenue results for the first quarter of 2016 (see news release dated 04/27/2016). All dollar figures are in United States dollars unless otherwise indicated.
2016 First Quarter Highlights
Consolidated gold production of 127,844 ounces; 10% greater than the same period in 2015 and 8,966 ounces better than budget
Consolidated gold revenue of $144.3 million on gold sales of 120,899 ounces at an average price of $1,193 per ounce
Record low consolidated cash operating costs of $499 per ounce of gold, $202 per ounce (29%) lower compared with the first quarter of 2015
Consolidated all-in sustaining costs of $874 per ounce, $217 per ounce (20%) lower compared with the first quarter of 2015
Consolidated cash flow from operating activities of $171.6 million ($0.19 per share), including $120 million proceeds from Prepaid Sales transactions
Strong cash position of $109.1 million at quarter-end
On track to meet 2016 consolidated gold production guidance of between 510,000 to 550,000 ounces at cash operating costs of between $560 to $595 per ounce and all-in sustaining costs of between $895 to $925 per ounce
Completed a series of prepaid gold sales transactions totalling $120 million (the “Prepaid Sales”)

Received 2015 Award for Social Responsibility in Nicaragua
First Quarter 2016 Operational Results
Consolidated gold production in the first quarter of 2016 was 127,844 ounces. This exceeded budget by 8,966 ounces and was 10% greater than the same period of the previous year (consolidated gold production in the first quarter of 2015 was 115,859 ounces, including 18,815 ounces of pre-commercial production
2
from the Otjikoto mine). The increase in gold production was primarily attributable to strong quarterly production from the Company’s Masbate mine in the Philippines and La Libertad mine in Nicaragua. The Otjikoto mine in Namibia was in line with budget while El Limon mine in Nicaragua was slightly behind budget, mainly due to the lower grade processed in the first quarter of 2016.
In the first quarter of 2016, consolidated cash operating costs were a record low of $499 per ounce, $97 per ounce less than budget and $202 per ounce lower than the equivalent period in 2015. The favourable variance reflects lower fuel costs at all sites, a weaker Namibian dollar than budgeted at the Otjikoto mine and better realized gold grades and recoveries than budgeted at the Masbate and La Libertad mines. Consolidated cash operating costs in the first quarter of 2016 were lower than the first quarter of 2015 for similar reasons and also benefitted from having the Otjikoto mine operate at full capacity for a full quarter in 2016.
Consolidated all-in sustaining costs in the first quarter of 2016 were $874 per ounce compared to budget of $1,105 per ounce and $1,091 per ounce in the first quarter of 2015, with reductions driven by the same factors impacting the reduction in cash operating costs per ounce as well as lower than budgeted capital expenditures at several mine sites during the quarter due to the timing of equipment and land purchases.
The Company is projecting another record year for gold production in 2016. Consolidated gold production in 2016 is expected to be in the range of 510,000 to 550,000 ounces. Consolidated cash operating costs in 2016 are expected to be in the range of $560 to $595 per ounce, compared to $616 per ounce in 2015. Gold production in 2016 is anticipated to be slightly weighted to the second half of the year.
First Quarter 2016 Financial Results
For the first quarter of 2016, the Company generated net income of $6.7 million ($0.01 per share) compared to $6.3 million ($0.01 per share) in the same period of the previous year. Adjusted net income was $18.9 million ($0.02 per share) compared to $10.9 million ($0.01 per share) in the first quarter of 2015. Adjusted net income in the first quarter of 2016 primarily excluded share-based payments of $5.4 million, non-cash mark-to-market losses of $6.0 million relating to the overall change in fair value of the Company’s convertible senior subordinated notes, unrealized losses on derivative instruments of $9.5 million and a deferred income tax recovery of $8.6 million.
Consolidated gold revenue for the first quarter of 2016 was $144.3 million on gold sales of 120,899 ounces at an average price of $1,193 per ounce. This is compared to consolidated gold revenue for the first quarter of 2015 of $138.9 million (or $162 million, including $23.1 million of pre-commercial sales from the Otjikoto mine) on gold sales of 114,799 ounces at an average price of $1,210 per ounce. The increase in revenue was mainly due to increased production and sales from the Masbate and La Libertad mines compared to the same period of the previous year.
Consolidated cash flow from operating activities was $171.6 million ($0.19 per share) in the first quarter of 2016 compared to $58.7 million ($0.06 per share) in the first quarter of 2015. The increased cash flow from operating activities during the first quarter of 2016 included $120 million in proceeds received from the Prepaid Sales transactions and a $16.2 million reduction in production costs due to a full quarter of production from the Otjikoto mine and strong operating performances at the Company’s Masbate and La Libertad mines. These were partially offset by a $21.1 million increase in required working capital funding
3
in the period, including higher product inventory balances at the Masbate and Libertad mines due to the timing of sales and higher supplies inventory balances at the Otjikoto and El Limon mines due to the timing of purchases.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As at March 31, 2016, the Company remained in a strong financial position with working capital of $124.5 million including unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $109.1 million. In addition, the Company has $175 million of undrawn capacity on its revolving credit facility.
In March 2016, the Company entered into a series of Prepaid Sales transactions totalling $120 million with its revolving credit facility bank syndicate. The Prepaid Sales transactions, in the form of metal sales forward contracts, allow the Company to deliver predetermined volumes of gold on agreed future delivery dates in exchange for an upfront cash pre-payment. The Prepaid Sales transactions have a term of 33 months, which commenced in March 2016, and settlement will be in the form of physical deliveries of approximately 103,300 ounces of unallocated gold from any of the Company’s mines in 24 equal monthly instalments during 2017 and 2018.
Also in March 2016, the Company signed a commitment letter to enter into a Euro equivalent of $80.9 million term Equipment Facility with Caterpillar Financial SARL, as Mandated Lead Arranger, and Caterpillar Financial Services Corporation, as original lender.
The Company believes that closing these agreements, coupled with strong operating cash flows from its existing mine operations will provide adequate resources both to maintain operations and fund the construction of the Fekola project through completion (forecast to be late 2017) based on current assumptions, including current gold prices.

Otjikoto Mine, Namibia
Gold production at the Otjikoto mine for the first quarter of 2016 was 35,703 ounces against a budget of 35,653 ounces, exceeding budget by 50 ounces and 4,569 ounces higher than the same period of the previous year. For the same period in 2015, the Otjikoto mine’s total gold production was 31,134 ounces (including 18,815 ounces of pre-commercial production).
With the success of the plant expansion project, completed in the third quarter of 2015, the budgeted throughput rate for 2016 was increased from 6,855 tonnes per day to 9,024 tonnes per day. For the first quarter of 2016, mill throughput was 822,602 tonnes compared to a budget of 821,184 tonnes. The average daily mill throughput for the first quarter of 2016 was 9,040 tonnes per day versus a budget of 9,024 tonnes per day. The average mill recoveries for the first quarter of 2016 were 98.5%, compared to a budget of 97% and recoveries during the same period of the previous year of 97.2%. The higher recoveries were mainly attributable to a high proportion of coarse gold (60%), combined with leach and CIP recoveries, which were well above target. The average gold grade processed in the first quarter of 2016 was 1.37 g/t compared to a budget of 1.39 g/t.
The Otjikoto mine’s cash operating costs were $381 per gold ounce for the first quarter of 2016 which was $107 per ounce lower than budget and $96 per ounce lower than the equivalent period in 2015. The significant reduction compared to budget was attributable to a weaker Namibian dollar/US dollar foreign exchange rate, lower fuel prices and lower than budgeted consumption of grinding media. Mining and processing costs were positively impacted by diesel and gasoline prices which were 19% lower than budget, heavy fuel oil prices which were 37% lower than budget and a 17% weaker Namibian dollar/US dollar foreign exchange than budgeted. Cash operating costs of $477 per ounce in the first quarter of 2015 reflect only one month of operations following achievement of commercial production on February 28, 2015.
All-in sustaining costs for the first quarter of 2016 were $835 per ounce compared to a budget of $844 per ounce and $629 per ounce in the prior year quarter. All-in sustaining costs in the quarter reflect the reduction in cash operating costs noted above offset by higher than budgeted capital expenditures in the quarter due to the timing of equipment purchases.
Net capital expenditures in the first quarter of 2016 totalled $18.7 million and included $5.4 million for deferred stripping and $12.8 million for mobile equipment.

On April 26, 2016, the Otjikoto mine experienced a slope failure on the pit access ramp. The failure, which did not result in any injuries or damage to equipment, occurred on a fault plane that had been activated by the recent rainy season. The stability of the slope above and below the access ramp had been monitored for several months. Safety and production mitigation measures were planned and implemented prior to the failure. As a result of implementing these measures, second quarter and full year 2016 production at the Otjikoto mine are not expected to be impacted.
Following the slope failure on the pit access ramp on April 26, 2016, the Otjikoto mine team in conjunction with consultant experts, have already adopted a plan to buttress the failure zone and recover the access ramp, and to construct an alternative access ramp which will be utilized until the depletion of the Phase 1 pit ore in November 2016. Ore supply will be supplemented from other sources while the ramp is being repaired and the second ramp is being constructed.
In 2016, the Otjikoto mine is expected to produce between 160,000 to 170,000 ounces of gold at cash operating costs of between $400 to $440 per ounce. The mine is on target to achieve budgeted gold production for the year. With the high-grade Wolfshag zone entering the production phase towards the end of the fourth quarter 2016, gold production in 2017 is expected to increase significantly. A new life of mine plan, based on the new grade model and geotechnical data, is expected to be completed during the fourth quarter of 2016, which will include mining from the Wolfshag deposit.
Masbate Mine, the Philippines
The Masbate mine had a very strong first quarter in 2016, producing 52,727 ounces of gold against a budget of 45,483 ounces, 7,244 ounces or 16% better than budget, and an increase of 14% or 6,486 ounces compared to the same period in 2015 (gold production for the first quarter in 2015 at the Masbate mine was 46,241 ounces). Gold production improved against budget mainly due to better grades from the Main Vein pit and higher throughput and recoveries driven by higher than budgeted oxide ore from the Colorado pit. Mill throughput for the first quarter of 2016 was 1,785,891 tonnes compared to a budget of 1,658,404 tonnes and 1,756,234 tonnes in the first quarter of 2015. The average gold grade processed was 1.26 g/t compared to a budgeted grade of 1.21 g/t and first quarter 2015 grades of 1.05 g/t. Mill recoveries averaged 72.9% which was better than budgeted recoveries of 70.3% but lower than the recoveries in the first quarter of 2015 of 78.5%. Recoveries were slightly less than the comparative period of the previous year due to less oxide material being processed at the mill. However, the Company processed 30% oxide material and 70% sulfide and transitional material in the first quarter of 2016 versus a budget of 14% and 86%, respectively. The Company expects to mine a similar ratio of oxide ore (30%) and sulfide/transitional ore (70%) against a budget of 17% oxide ore and 83% sulfide/transitional ore in the second quarter of 2016.
The Masbate mine’s cash operating costs were $456 per gold ounce in the first quarter of 2016 which was $134 per ounce lower than budget and $218 per ounce lower than the equivalent period in 2015. These excellent cost improvements were as a result of lower than budgeted fuel costs and better than budgeted productivity from the mining fleet, combined with higher than budgeted production (driven by better grade and recoveries, as discussed above).
6
All-in sustaining costs for the first quarter of 2016 were $638 per ounce compared to a budget of $872 per ounce and $877 per ounce in the prior year quarter. In addition to lower production costs, all-in sustaining costs were also below budget due to timing of equipment purchases and land acquisition costs.
Capital expenditures in the first quarter of 2016 totalled $8.5 million consisting of plant expansion costs of $4.4 million, $1.7 million in deferred stripping costs and $0.4 million in mobile equipment costs.
The Company is in the process of completing a process plant upgrade at the Masbate mine. The plant will be completed in phases and is expected to be commissioned and in production by the end of the third quarter of 2016. Key milestones include the following:
Carbon Harvest Screen installation;
Leaching/Adsorption tank completion;
Grinding Circuit upgrades completion;
Water Treatment Plant and Cooling System upgrade completion;
Carbon Regeneration Kiln installation and commissioning.
Subsequent to March 31, 2016, the extension of the Masbate mine’s income tax holiday was approved for an additional year to June 2017.
The Masbate mine is projected to produce approximately 175,000 to 185,000 ounces of gold in 2016 at cash operating costs of approximately $620 to $660 per ounce.
La Libertad Mine, Nicaragua
La Libertad mine completed a solid first quarter in 2016, processing 576,487 tonnes compared to budget of 573,236 tonnes and 568,006 tonnes in the first quarter of 2015 to produce 29,198 ounces of gold against a budget of 25,984 ounces. This was an increase of 3,214 ounces or 12% against budget and 3,872 ounces or 15% compared to the same period in 2015 (gold production at Libertad in the first quarter of 2015 was 25,326 ounces). The average gold grade processed in the first quarter of 2016 was 1.66 g/t compared to a budget of 1.50 g/t and first quarter 2015 grades of 1.48 g/t. Mill recoveries for the first quarter averaged 94.7% compared to a budget of 94% (for the first quarter of 2015 they were 93.9%).
During the first quarter of 2016, La Libertad mine had better grade and recoveries than the same period in 2015, mainly due to the processing of less spent ore and processing of higher grades from the Jabalí Central and Los Angeles pits.
Mining from the higher grade Jabalí Antena pit was scheduled to commence in the second quarter of 2016. The Jabalí Antena relocation process is substantially complete, including construction of resettlement housing. On May 5, 2016, the Company received the 2015 Award for Social Responsibility in Nicaragua related to its work on the settlement project to date. The award recognizes the Company’s commitment to social development projects that benefit the local communities in which it operates. However, the Company has experienced additional delays in finalizing the relocation process. The Company now anticipates that the Jabalí Antena pit will enter the production stream in late 2016, upon finalization of resettlement activities and receipt of the remaining mining permits.
7
La Libertad mine’s cash operating costs were $623 per gold ounce for the first quarter of 2016 which was $87 per ounce lower than budget and $218 per ounce lower than in the prior year quarter. This was the result of higher than budgeted gold production compared with both budget and the prior year quarter. Total production costs were approximately in line with budget, however, the average grade was 12% higher, as described above, resulting in higher production and therefore lower cash operating costs per ounce.
All-in sustaining costs for the first quarter of 2016 were $1,043 per ounce compared to a budget of $1,578 per ounce and $1,213 per ounce in the prior year quarter. Part of the lower than budgeted all-in sustaining costs relates to the deferral of Jabalí resettlement and development costs until later in 2016.
Total capital expenditures in the first quarter of 2016 were $8.8 million, consisting primarily of La Esperanza Tailings Dam expansion of $3.5 million, land purchases of $2.6 million and pre-stripping of $2.3 million.
By mining additional material from Jabalí Central and Mojon underground, the Company anticipates that any 2016 production shortfalls arising from delays in accessing ore at the Jabalí Antena pit can be offset. Therefore, the Company still expects to meet its 2016 production guidance for La Libertad mine of between 125,000 to 135,000 ounces of gold in 2016 at cash operating costs of approximately $650 to $680 per ounce.
El Limon Mine, Nicaragua
First quarter gold production in 2016 at El Limon mine was 10,216 ounces, which was 1,542 ounces or 13% below budget (gold production at El Limon in the first quarter of 2015 was 13,158 ounces). The average gold grade processed during the first quarter was 2.92 g/t compared to budgeted grades of 3.63 g/t and first quarter 2015 grades of 3.54 g/t. Mill recoveries averaged 93.6% compared to budgeted recoveries of 93.5% and first quarter 2015 recoveries of 94.1%. Mill throughput for the first quarter of 2016 was 116,481 tonnes compared to a budget of 107,693 tonnes and 122,677 tonnes for the same period the previous year.
The main reason for the shortfall in production compared to budget and the prior year quarter was limited access to higher grade ore from deeper stopes at Santa Pancha 1. A dewatering system using a vertical bore hole was developed to control water, however the resulting dewatering volumes were found to be lower than anticipated. This resulted in a delay in accessing higher grade deeper stopes. In March 2016, the Company completed drilling of a series of horizontal dewatering holes at the lowest expected elevation to be mined in fiscal 2016. Mine water levels are now fully controlled and mining is now advancing as planned at Santa Pancha 1. The Company remains confident that Limon, which represents approximately 10% of the Company’s 2016 consolidated gold production, will be able to meet 2016 guidance. However, production will be weighted towards the second half of the year.
El Limon mine’s cash operating costs were $775 per gold ounce for the first quarter of 2016 which was $76 per ounce higher than budget and $37 per ounce higher than the first quarter of 2015. Cash operating costs per ounce were higher than both budget and the equivalent period in the prior year due to limited access to higher grade ore at Santa Pancha 1, as outlined above.
All-in sustaining costs for the first quarter of 2016 were $1,127 per ounce compared to a budget of $1,199 per ounce and $1,356 per ounce in the prior year quarter.
8
Capital expenditures in the first quarter of 2016 totalled $1.4 million which consisted mainly of underground development costs for Santa Pancha 1 and 2 of $1.0 million.
EL Limon mine is projected to produce approximately 50,000 to 60,000 ounces of gold in 2016 at cash operating costs of approximately $610 to $650 per ounce.
Development
Fekola Development Project, Mali
On June 11, 2015, the Company announced robust results from the optimized Feasibility Study at the Fekola project in Mali. According to the Feasibility Study, the current average annual gold production for the first seven years will be approximately 350,000 ounces per year at average cash operating costs of $418 per ounce and for the life of mine plan approximately 276,000 ounces per year at average cash operating costs of $552 per ounce. (The total pre-production capital costs were estimated to be $395 million plus $67 million of anticipated mine fleet and power generator costs which are expected to be lease financed.) Sunk costs related to early works (including access roads, construction aggregate stockpiling, airstrip construction, and land clearing) of approximately $38 million were not included in the total pre-production capital estimate.
In the first quarter of 2016, B2Gold’s construction team continued to develop the Fekola project on schedule and on budget. Significant activities included:
Material completion of the tailings dam walls (excluding a small opening to allow runoff during the 2016 rainy season);
Commencement of construction on the process water and contact water dams;
Completion of pilings installation in the mill area;
Initiation of concrete pouring at the crusher and reclaim stockpile;
Completion of Phase 1 permanent camp construction;
On-going crushing and screening of aggregate necessary for earthworks;
Increased workforce to approximately 700 employees and contractors.
Capital expenditures on the Fekola project in the first quarter of 2016 totalled $46.4 million versus a construction budget of $62 million. Expenditures on the Fekola project to date were $175.8 million including $37.9 million of pre-construction expenditures compared with a budget to date of $177 million. The variance was mainly due to the timing of payments for some key pieces of equipment. The project remains on schedule and on budget.
In addition to the on-site progress, the B2Gold project team continues to work on final design, procurement, and planning. Most major construction packages have been ordered and the project engineering team (Lycopodium) remains on schedule to issue all construction drawings on a schedule necessary to complete the project on time.
The Fekola property also has excellent exploration potential. The Company has commenced a 92,000 metre diamond, reverse circulation, auger and aircore drill program to follow up on the successful 2015 program.

Kiaka Project, Burkina Faso
An environmental and social impact assessment (“ESIA”) was completed and submitted to the regulatory agencies in February 2014 and a permitting study to advance the Kiaka project to an exploitation licence was completed and submitted to the Ministry of Mines and Energy in Burkina Faso in March 2014. The two permitting applications were based on processing six million tonnes per annum of higher grade ore at the plant while the lower grade ore is stockpiled, and uses a smaller pit that resulted in an improved ore to waste ratio. The Company completed the public consultation process and other requirements and formal approval of the ESIA was granted on April 15, 2015. Final review of the mining licence was completed, the formal application was submitted on July 15, 2015 and the Council of Ministers from the transitional government approved the mining licence on November 25, 2015. Since the national elections on November 29, 2015, a new Council of Ministers has been appointed. A second review of the mining licence has been completed and the licence was reapproved on April 20, 2016.
The Company continues to evaluate its timeline for updating the Feasibility Study. An updated study would include key items such as optimizing the plant throughput rate, new cost estimates based on current economic conditions, alternative sources of electrical power and exploration success near Kiaka.
A total of 23,000 metres of reverse circulation, diamond and air core drilling is planned in 2016 to follow up on new targets identified in the area around Kiaka. Drilling in 2015 contained up to 2.21 g/t over 106 meters in RC hole NKRC047.
Outlook
For 2016, consolidated gold production at B2Gold is expected to increase to between 510,000 to 550,000 ounces, compared to 493,265 ounces produced in 2015. The expected higher production relates mainly to increased throughput at the Otjikoto mine, following the completion of its mill expansion project in September 2015. Gold production in 2016 is anticipated to be slightly weighted towards the second half of the year.
Consolidated cash operating costs per gold ounce are projected to further decrease in 2016 and be in the range of $560 to $595 (2015 guidance range was $630 to $660 per ounce). The favourable reduction (approximately 10%) reflects the positive impact of greater production from the low-cost Otjikoto mine, including the benefit of an anticipated weaker Namibian dollar, lower projected fuel and energy costs across all operations, and continued efforts to enhance productivity and cost efficiencies.
The Company’s consolidated all-in sustaining costs per gold ounce are also expected to be significantly lower, between $895 to $925 (2015 guidance range was $950 to $1,025). Due to the anticipated timing of budgeted capital expenditures, all-in sustaining costs per gold ounce are expected to be higher in the first half of 2016 than in the second half.
In March 2016, the Company put in place additional funding measures which it expects will provide sufficient liquidity and resources to ensure that, based on current assumptions, construction of the Fekola project is fully funded through to completion (forecast to be late 2017).
10
The Company’s ability to secure funding for the construction of the Fekola project on attractive terms without a dilutive equity financing, combined with a strong growth in the Company’s production profile, clearly demonstrates that, in the Company’s view, its construction and growth strategy is effective and successful. It is this strategy that continues to strengthen the Company via accretive acquisitions, exploration success and the demonstrated ability to reduce operating costs. The Company’s Otjikoto mine was a key contributor towards the Company’s overall production growth profile in 2015, and is projected to be the Company’s lowest cost producing mine in 2016. Adding what we expect to be another low-cost producing mine to the Company’s production profile, the Fekola project, which is currently in construction and scheduled to commence production in late 2017, is expected to enable the Company to further increase its production base and reduce its consolidated cash operating costs per gold ounce and all-in sustaining costs per gold ounce.
Based on current assumptions, the Company is projecting gold production in 2016 of between 510,000 to 550,000 ounces, increasing to between 800,000 to 850,000 ounces in 2018.
First Quarter Results 2016
Achieves Record Low Consolidated Cash Operating Costs
Vancouver, May 11, 2016 – B2Gold Corp. (TSX: BTO, NYSE MKT: BTG, NSX: B2G) (“B2Gold” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce its operational and financial results for the first quarter of 2016. The Company previously released its gold production and revenue results for the first quarter of 2016 (see news release dated 04/27/2016). All dollar figures are in United States dollars unless otherwise indicated.

First Quarter 2016 Operational Results
Consolidated gold production in the first quarter of 2016 was 127,844 ounces. This exceeded budget by 8,966 ounces and was 10% greater than the same period of the previous year (consolidated gold production in the first quarter of 2015 was 115,859 ounces, including 18,815 ounces of pre-commercial production
2
from the Otjikoto mine). The increase in gold production was primarily attributable to strong quarterly production from the Company’s Masbate mine in the Philippines and La Libertad mine in Nicaragua. The Otjikoto mine in Namibia was in line with budget while El Limon mine in Nicaragua was slightly behind budget, mainly due to the lower grade processed in the first quarter of 2016.
In the first quarter of 2016, consolidated cash operating costs were a record low of $499 per ounce, $97 per ounce less than budget and $202 per ounce lower than the equivalent period in 2015. The favourable variance reflects lower fuel costs at all sites, a weaker Namibian dollar than budgeted at the Otjikoto mine and better realized gold grades and recoveries than budgeted at the Masbate and La Libertad mines. Consolidated cash operating costs in the first quarter of 2016 were lower than the first quarter of 2015 for similar reasons and also benefitted from having the Otjikoto mine operate at full capacity for a full quarter in 2016.
Consolidated all-in sustaining costs in the first quarter of 2016 were $874 per ounce compared to budget of $1,105 per ounce and $1,091 per ounce in the first quarter of 2015, with reductions driven by the same factors impacting the reduction in cash operating costs per ounce as well as lower than budgeted capital expenditures at several mine sites during the quarter due to the timing of equipment and land purchases.
The Company is projecting another record year for gold production in 2016. Consolidated gold production in 2016 is expected to be in the range of 510,000 to 550,000 ounces. Consolidated cash operating costs in 2016 are expected to be in the range of $560 to $595 per ounce, compared to $616 per ounce in 2015. Gold production in 2016 is anticipated to be slightly weighted to the second half of the year.
First Quarter 2016 Financial Results
For the first quarter of 2016, the Company generated net income of $6.7 million ($0.01 per share) compared to $6.3 million ($0.01 per share) in the same period of the previous year. Adjusted net income was $18.9 million ($0.02 per share) compared to $10.9 million ($0.01 per share) in the first quarter of 2015. Adjusted net income in the first quarter of 2016 primarily excluded share-based payments of $5.4 million, non-cash mark-to-market losses of $6.0 million relating to the overall change in fair value of the Company’s convertible senior subordinated notes, unrealized losses on derivative instruments of $9.5 million and a deferred income tax recovery of $8.6 million.
Consolidated gold revenue for the first quarter of 2016 was $144.3 million on gold sales of 120,899 ounces at an average price of $1,193 per ounce. This is compared to consolidated gold revenue for the first quarter of 2015 of $138.9 million (or $162 million, including $23.1 million of pre-commercial sales from the Otjikoto mine) on gold sales of 114,799 ounces at an average price of $1,210 per ounce. The increase in revenue was mainly due to increased production and sales from the Masbate and La Libertad mines compared to the same period of the previous year.
Consolidated cash flow from operating activities was $171.6 million ($0.19 per share) in the first quarter of 2016 compared to $58.7 million ($0.06 per share) in the first quarter of 2015. The increased cash flow from operating activities during the first quarter of 2016 included $120 million in proceeds received from the Prepaid Sales transactions and a $16.2 million reduction in production costs due to a full quarter of production from the Otjikoto mine and strong operating performances at the Company’s Masbate and La Libertad mines. These were partially offset by a $21.1 million increase in required working capital funding
3
in the period, including higher product inventory balances at the Masbate and Libertad mines due to the timing of sales and higher supplies inventory balances at the Otjikoto and El Limon mines due to the timing of purchases.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As at March 31, 2016, the Company remained in a strong financial position with working capital of $124.5 million including unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $109.1 million. In addition, the Company has $175 million of undrawn capacity on its revolving credit facility.
In March 2016, the Company entered into a series of Prepaid Sales transactions totalling $120 million with its revolving credit facility bank syndicate. The Prepaid Sales transactions, in the form of metal sales forward contracts, allow the Company to deliver predetermined volumes of gold on agreed future delivery dates in exchange for an upfront cash pre-payment. The Prepaid Sales transactions have a term of 33 months, which commenced in March 2016, and settlement will be in the form of physical deliveries of approximately 103,300 ounces of unallocated gold from any of the Company’s mines in 24 equal monthly instalments during 2017 and 2018.
Also in March 2016, the Company signed a commitment letter to enter into a Euro equivalent of $80.9 million term Equipment Facility with Caterpillar Financial SARL, as Mandated Lead Arranger, and Caterpillar Financial Services Corporation, as original lender.
The Company believes that closing these agreements, coupled with strong operating cash flows from its existing mine operations will provide adequate resources both to maintain operations and fund the construction of the Fekola project through completion (forecast to be late 2017) based on current assumptions, including current gold prices.

Otjikoto Mine, Namibia
Gold production at the Otjikoto mine for the first quarter of 2016 was 35,703 ounces against a budget of 35,653 ounces, exceeding budget by 50 ounces and 4,569 ounces higher than the same period of the previous year. For the same period in 2015, the Otjikoto mine’s total gold production was 31,134 ounces (including 18,815 ounces of pre-commercial production).
With the success of the plant expansion project, completed in the third quarter of 2015, the budgeted throughput rate for 2016 was increased from 6,855 tonnes per day to 9,024 tonnes per day. For the first quarter of 2016, mill throughput was 822,602 tonnes compared to a budget of 821,184 tonnes. The average daily mill throughput for the first quarter of 2016 was 9,040 tonnes per day versus a budget of 9,024 tonnes per day. The average mill recoveries for the first quarter of 2016 were 98.5%, compared to a budget of 97% and recoveries during the same period of the previous year of 97.2%. The higher recoveries were mainly attributable to a high proportion of coarse gold (60%), combined with leach and CIP recoveries, which were well above target. The average gold grade processed in the first quarter of 2016 was 1.37 g/t compared to a budget of 1.39 g/t.
The Otjikoto mine’s cash operating costs were $381 per gold ounce for the first quarter of 2016 which was $107 per ounce lower than budget and $96 per ounce lower than the equivalent period in 2015. The significant reduction compared to budget was attributable to a weaker Namibian dollar/US dollar foreign exchange rate, lower fuel prices and lower than budgeted consumption of grinding media. Mining and processing costs were positively impacted by diesel and gasoline prices which were 19% lower than budget, heavy fuel oil prices which were 37% lower than budget and a 17% weaker Namibian dollar/US dollar foreign exchange than budgeted. Cash operating costs of $477 per ounce in the first quarter of 2015 reflect only one month of operations following achievement of commercial production on February 28, 2015.
All-in sustaining costs for the first quarter of 2016 were $835 per ounce compared to a budget of $844 per ounce and $629 per ounce in the prior year quarter. All-in sustaining costs in the quarter reflect the reduction in cash operating costs noted above offset by higher than budgeted capital expenditures in the quarter due to the timing of equipment purchases.
Net capital expenditures in the first quarter of 2016 totalled $18.7 million and included $5.4 million for deferred stripping and $12.8 million for mobile equipment.

On April 26, 2016, the Otjikoto mine experienced a slope failure on the pit access ramp. The failure, which did not result in any injuries or damage to equipment, occurred on a fault plane that had been activated by the recent rainy season. The stability of the slope above and below the access ramp had been monitored for several months. Safety and production mitigation measures were planned and implemented prior to the failure. As a result of implementing these measures, second quarter and full year 2016 production at the Otjikoto mine are not expected to be impacted.
Following the slope failure on the pit access ramp on April 26, 2016, the Otjikoto mine team in conjunction with consultant experts, have already adopted a plan to buttress the failure zone and recover the access ramp, and to construct an alternative access ramp which will be utilized until the depletion of the Phase 1 pit ore in November 2016. Ore supply will be supplemented from other sources while the ramp is being repaired and the second ramp is being constructed.
In 2016, the Otjikoto mine is expected to produce between 160,000 to 170,000 ounces of gold at cash operating costs of between $400 to $440 per ounce. The mine is on target to achieve budgeted gold production for the year. With the high-grade Wolfshag zone entering the production phase towards the end of the fourth quarter 2016, gold production in 2017 is expected to increase significantly. A new life of mine plan, based on the new grade model and geotechnical data, is expected to be completed during the fourth quarter of 2016, which will include mining from the Wolfshag deposit.
Masbate Mine, the Philippines
The Masbate mine had a very strong first quarter in 2016, producing 52,727 ounces of gold against a budget of 45,483 ounces, 7,244 ounces or 16% better than budget, and an increase of 14% or 6,486 ounces compared to the same period in 2015 (gold production for the first quarter in 2015 at the Masbate mine was 46,241 ounces). Gold production improved against budget mainly due to better grades from the Main Vein pit and higher throughput and recoveries driven by higher than budgeted oxide ore from the Colorado pit. Mill throughput for the first quarter of 2016 was 1,785,891 tonnes compared to a budget of 1,658,404 tonnes and 1,756,234 tonnes in the first quarter of 2015. The average gold grade processed was 1.26 g/t compared to a budgeted grade of 1.21 g/t and first quarter 2015 grades of 1.05 g/t. Mill recoveries averaged 72.9% which was better than budgeted recoveries of 70.3% but lower than the recoveries in the first quarter of 2015 of 78.5%. Recoveries were slightly less than the comparative period of the previous year due to less oxide material being processed at the mill. However, the Company processed 30% oxide material and 70% sulfide and transitional material in the first quarter of 2016 versus a budget of 14% and 86%, respectively. The Company expects to mine a similar ratio of oxide ore (30%) and sulfide/transitional ore (70%) against a budget of 17% oxide ore and 83% sulfide/transitional ore in the second quarter of 2016.
The Masbate mine’s cash operating costs were $456 per gold ounce in the first quarter of 2016 which was $134 per ounce lower than budget and $218 per ounce lower than the equivalent period in 2015. These excellent cost improvements were as a result of lower than budgeted fuel costs and better than budgeted productivity from the mining fleet, combined with higher than budgeted production (driven by better grade and recoveries, as discussed above).
6
All-in sustaining costs for the first quarter of 2016 were $638 per ounce compared to a budget of $872 per ounce and $877 per ounce in the prior year quarter. In addition to lower production costs, all-in sustaining costs were also below budget due to timing of equipment purchases and land acquisition costs.
Capital expenditures in the first quarter of 2016 totalled $8.5 million consisting of plant expansion costs of $4.4 million, $1.7 million in deferred stripping costs and $0.4 million in mobile equipment costs.
The Company is in the process of completing a process plant upgrade at the Masbate mine. The plant will be completed in phases and is expected to be commissioned and in production by the end of the third quarter of 2016. Key milestones include the following:
Carbon Harvest Screen installation;
Leaching/Adsorption tank completion;
Grinding Circuit upgrades completion;
Water Treatment Plant and Cooling System upgrade completion;
Carbon Regeneration Kiln installation and commissioning.
Subsequent to March 31, 2016, the extension of the Masbate mine’s income tax holiday was approved for an additional year to June 2017.
The Masbate mine is projected to produce approximately 175,000 to 185,000 ounces of gold in 2016 at cash operating costs of approximately $620 to $660 per ounce.
La Libertad Mine, Nicaragua
La Libertad mine completed a solid first quarter in 2016, processing 576,487 tonnes compared to budget of 573,236 tonnes and 568,006 tonnes in the first quarter of 2015 to produce 29,198 ounces of gold against a budget of 25,984 ounces. This was an increase of 3,214 ounces or 12% against budget and 3,872 ounces or 15% compared to the same period in 2015 (gold production at Libertad in the first quarter of 2015 was 25,326 ounces). The average gold grade processed in the first quarter of 2016 was 1.66 g/t compared to a budget of 1.50 g/t and first quarter 2015 grades of 1.48 g/t. Mill recoveries for the first quarter averaged 94.7% compared to a budget of 94% (for the first quarter of 2015 they were 93.9%).
During the first quarter of 2016, La Libertad mine had better grade and recoveries than the same period in 2015, mainly due to the processing of less spent ore and processing of higher grades from the Jabalí Central and Los Angeles pits.
Mining from the higher grade Jabalí Antena pit was scheduled to commence in the second quarter of 2016. The Jabalí Antena relocation process is substantially complete, including construction of resettlement housing. On May 5, 2016, the Company received the 2015 Award for Social Responsibility in Nicaragua related to its work on the settlement project to date. The award recognizes the Company’s commitment to social development projects that benefit the local communities in which it operates. However, the Company has experienced additional delays in finalizing the relocation process. The Company now anticipates that the Jabalí Antena pit will enter the production stream in late 2016, upon finalization of resettlement activities and receipt of the remaining mining permits.
7
La Libertad mine’s cash operating costs were $623 per gold ounce for the first quarter of 2016 which was $87 per ounce lower than budget and $218 per ounce lower than in the prior year quarter. This was the result of higher than budgeted gold production compared with both budget and the prior year quarter. Total production costs were approximately in line with budget, however, the average grade was 12% higher, as described above, resulting in higher production and therefore lower cash operating costs per ounce.
All-in sustaining costs for the first quarter of 2016 were $1,043 per ounce compared to a budget of $1,578 per ounce and $1,213 per ounce in the prior year quarter. Part of the lower than budgeted all-in sustaining costs relates to the deferral of Jabalí resettlement and development costs until later in 2016.
Total capital expenditures in the first quarter of 2016 were $8.8 million, consisting primarily of La Esperanza Tailings Dam expansion of $3.5 million, land purchases of $2.6 million and pre-stripping of $2.3 million.
By mining additional material from Jabalí Central and Mojon underground, the Company anticipates that any 2016 production shortfalls arising from delays in accessing ore at the Jabalí Antena pit can be offset. Therefore, the Company still expects to meet its 2016 production guidance for La Libertad mine of between 125,000 to 135,000 ounces of gold in 2016 at cash operating costs of approximately $650 to $680 per ounce.
El Limon Mine, Nicaragua
First quarter gold production in 2016 at El Limon mine was 10,216 ounces, which was 1,542 ounces or 13% below budget (gold production at El Limon in the first quarter of 2015 was 13,158 ounces). The average gold grade processed during the first quarter was 2.92 g/t compared to budgeted grades of 3.63 g/t and first quarter 2015 grades of 3.54 g/t. Mill recoveries averaged 93.6% compared to budgeted recoveries of 93.5% and first quarter 2015 recoveries of 94.1%. Mill throughput for the first quarter of 2016 was 116,481 tonnes compared to a budget of 107,693 tonnes and 122,677 tonnes for the same period the previous year.
The main reason for the shortfall in production compared to budget and the prior year quarter was limited access to higher grade ore from deeper stopes at Santa Pancha 1. A dewatering system using a vertical bore hole was developed to control water, however the resulting dewatering volumes were found to be lower than anticipated. This resulted in a delay in accessing higher grade deeper stopes. In March 2016, the Company completed drilling of a series of horizontal dewatering holes at the lowest expected elevation to be mined in fiscal 2016. Mine water levels are now fully controlled and mining is now advancing as planned at Santa Pancha 1. The Company remains confident that Limon, which represents approximately 10% of the Company’s 2016 consolidated gold production, will be able to meet 2016 guidance. However, production will be weighted towards the second half of the year.
El Limon mine’s cash operating costs were $775 per gold ounce for the first quarter of 2016 which was $76 per ounce higher than budget and $37 per ounce higher than the first quarter of 2015. Cash operating costs per ounce were higher than both budget and the equivalent period in the prior year due to limited access to higher grade ore at Santa Pancha 1, as outlined above.
All-in sustaining costs for the first quarter of 2016 were $1,127 per ounce compared to a budget of $1,199 per ounce and $1,356 per ounce in the prior year quarter.
8
Capital expenditures in the first quarter of 2016 totalled $1.4 million which consisted mainly of underground development costs for Santa Pancha 1 and 2 of $1.0 million.
EL Limon mine is projected to produce approximately 50,000 to 60,000 ounces of gold in 2016 at cash operating costs of approximately $610 to $650 per ounce.
Development
Fekola Development Project, Mali
On June 11, 2015, the Company announced robust results from the optimized Feasibility Study at the Fekola project in Mali. According to the Feasibility Study, the current average annual gold production for the first seven years will be approximately 350,000 ounces per year at average cash operating costs of $418 per ounce and for the life of mine plan approximately 276,000 ounces per year at average cash operating costs of $552 per ounce. (The total pre-production capital costs were estimated to be $395 million plus $67 million of anticipated mine fleet and power generator costs which are expected to be lease financed.) Sunk costs related to early works (including access roads, construction aggregate stockpiling, airstrip construction, and land clearing) of approximately $38 million were not included in the total pre-production capital estimate.
In the first quarter of 2016, B2Gold’s construction team continued to develop the Fekola project on schedule and on budget. Significant activities included:
Material completion of the tailings dam walls (excluding a small opening to allow runoff during the 2016 rainy season);
Commencement of construction on the process water and contact water dams;
Completion of pilings installation in the mill area;
Initiation of concrete pouring at the crusher and reclaim stockpile;
Completion of Phase 1 permanent camp construction;
On-going crushing and screening of aggregate necessary for earthworks;
Increased workforce to approximately 700 employees and contractors.
Capital expenditures on the Fekola project in the first quarter of 2016 totalled $46.4 million versus a construction budget of $62 million. Expenditures on the Fekola project to date were $175.8 million including $37.9 million of pre-construction expenditures compared with a budget to date of $177 million. The variance was mainly due to the timing of payments for some key pieces of equipment. The project remains on schedule and on budget.
In addition to the on-site progress, the B2Gold project team continues to work on final design, procurement, and planning. Most major construction packages have been ordered and the project engineering team (Lycopodium) remains on schedule to issue all construction drawings on a schedule necessary to complete the project on time.
The Fekola property also has excellent exploration potential. The Company has commenced a 92,000 metre diamond, reverse circulation, auger and aircore drill program to follow up on the successful 2015 program.
9
Kiaka Project, Burkina Faso
An environmental and social impact assessment (“ESIA”) was completed and submitted to the regulatory agencies in February 2014 and a permitting study to advance the Kiaka project to an exploitation licence was completed and submitted to the Ministry of Mines and Energy in Burkina Faso in March 2014. The two permitting applications were based on processing six million tonnes per annum of higher grade ore at the plant while the lower grade ore is stockpiled, and uses a smaller pit that resulted in an improved ore to waste ratio. The Company completed the public consultation process and other requirements and formal approval of the ESIA was granted on April 15, 2015. Final review of the mining licence was completed, the formal application was submitted on July 15, 2015 and the Council of Ministers from the transitional government approved the mining licence on November 25, 2015. Since the national elections on November 29, 2015, a new Council of Ministers has been appointed. A second review of the mining licence has been completed and the licence was reapproved on April 20, 2016.
The Company continues to evaluate its timeline for updating the Feasibility Study. An updated study would include key items such as optimizing the plant throughput rate, new cost estimates based on current economic conditions, alternative sources of electrical power and exploration success near Kiaka.
A total of 23,000 metres of reverse circulation, diamond and air core drilling is planned in 2016 to follow up on new targets identified in the area around Kiaka. Drilling in 2015 contained up to 2.21 g/t over 106 meters in RC hole NKRC047.
Outlook
For 2016, consolidated gold production at B2Gold is expected to increase to between 510,000 to 550,000 ounces, compared to 493,265 ounces produced in 2015. The expected higher production relates mainly to increased throughput at the Otjikoto mine, following the completion of its mill expansion project in September 2015. Gold production in 2016 is anticipated to be slightly weighted towards the second half of the year.
Consolidated cash operating costs per gold ounce are projected to further decrease in 2016 and be in the range of $560 to $595 (2015 guidance range was $630 to $660 per ounce). The favourable reduction (approximately 10%) reflects the positive impact of greater production from the low-cost Otjikoto mine, including the benefit of an anticipated weaker Namibian dollar, lower projected fuel and energy costs across all operations, and continued efforts to enhance productivity and cost efficiencies.
The Company’s consolidated all-in sustaining costs per gold ounce are also expected to be significantly lower, between $895 to $925 (2015 guidance range was $950 to $1,025). Due to the anticipated timing of budgeted capital expenditures, all-in sustaining costs per gold ounce are expected to be higher in the first half of 2016 than in the second half.
In March 2016, the Company put in place additional funding measures which it expects will provide sufficient liquidity and resources to ensure that, based on current assumptions, construction of the Fekola project is fully funded through to completion (forecast to be late 2017).
10
The Company’s ability to secure funding for the construction of the Fekola project on attractive terms without a dilutive equity financing, combined with a strong growth in the Company’s production profile, clearly demonstrates that, in the Company’s view, its construction and growth strategy is effective and successful. It is this strategy that continues to strengthen the Company via accretive acquisitions, exploration success and the demonstrated ability to reduce operating costs. The Company’s Otjikoto mine was a key contributor towards the Company’s overall production growth profile in 2015, and is projected to be the Company’s lowest cost producing mine in 2016. Adding what we expect to be another low-cost producing mine to the Company’s production profile, the Fekola project, which is currently in construction and scheduled to commence production in late 2017, is expected to enable the Company to further increase its production base and reduce its consolidated cash operating costs per gold ounce and all-in sustaining costs per gold ounce.
Based on current assumptions, the Company is projecting gold production in 2016 of between 510,000 to 550,000 ounces, increasing to between 800,000 to 850,000 ounces in 2018.

B2Gold 2016 Exploration Update: West Africa / Positive Drill Results for B2Gold's Fekola and Kiaka Projects
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwired) -- 06/29/16 -- B2Gold Corp. (TSX: BTO)(NYSE MKT: BTG)(NAMIBIAN: B2G) ("B2Gold" or the "Company") is pleased to announce an exploration update for its Fekola and Kiaka projects in West Africa (Mali and Burkina Faso, respectively). All dollar figures are in United States dollars unless otherwise indicated.
Highlights of the new drill results include 15.50 metres at 8.49 g/t (grams per tonne) gold from a diamond drill hole north of the Fekola deposit; 26 metres at 5.44 g/t gold from reverse circulation drilling in a new zone of saprolite-hosted gold mineralization in the Fekola area; and 16 metres at 4.16 g/t gold, including 6 metres at 9.90 g/t gold, intersected in a new target area during the reconnaissance aircore drilling program in the Kiaka area.
The significance of the highlighted (outlined below) and previous positive drill results (released in January this year) at the Fekola project is that they demonstrate the potential for the area to host additional zones of open-pittable gold mineralization similar to the Fekola deposit, as well as significant zones of saprolite-hosted gold mineralization. In addition, deeper drilling below the Fekola deposit returned positive results that indicate the potential for underground mining in the future. Based on the exploration potential and success to date, the Company is constructing the Fekola mine with a +25% design factor. This means that the throughput of ore at Fekola could reach up to 5 million tonnes per year in the initial years of production, beyond the optimized feasibility study's(1) estimated throughput of 4 million tonnes per year. This increase may only require approximately $15 million to $20 million of additional capital expenditure and could potentially increase annual production by up to 20% (subject to final mine planning), surpassing initial projections of approximately 350,000 ounces of gold per year.
To date at the Kiaka project, the positive exploration drill results at the new Toega prospects near the Kiaka deposit indicate the presence of new, potentially higher-grade gold zones. Preliminary internal studies indicate that combining the potential higher-grade ore from the Toega zones with ore from the lower-grade Kiaka deposit could have a very positive effect on the economics of the project. An aggressive 2016 exploration drilling program is intended to further explore and conduct infill drilling at the new, higher-grade gold zones along with metallurgical testing and base line permitting work. The Company's objective is to release an initial resource estimate on the main Toega prospect by the end of 2016.
Based on the positive drill results to date, the exploration budget for West Africa has been increased by $5.5 million, from $9.8 to approximately $15 million. The 2016 exploration budget at the Fekola and Kiaka projects is now $11.4 million and $3.6 million, respectively. B2Gold's total global exploration budget for 2016 is now $35.4 million.
Exploration Results:
Fekola project - Mali
Fekola exploration:
The Company is currently exploring targets near its 3.72 million ounce gold(2) open-pittable Fekola deposit, which is under construction. Elsewhere in the Fekola area, the Company is following up on recent exploration successes announced earlier this year (refer to B2Gold's "2015 Exploration Update" news release dated January 20, 2016). For 2016, a total of 98,500 metres of combined diamond, reverse circulation, aircore and auger drilling have been budgeted to advance exploration targets.
Kiwi zone
The Kiwi zone is located approximately 640 metres north of the proposed pit limits of the Fekola deposit. At Kiwi, exploration is targeting a potential new ore shoot, similar to the shallowly north-northwest plunging, main high-grade portion of the Fekola deposit. The shoot occurs approximately 400 metres up-dip from the Fekola Deeps zone in what appears to be a separate and distinct zone of mineralized folds within the Fekola shear zone. So far in 2016, three drill holes totalling 741 metres have been drilled into Kiwi.
Highlights from the Kiwi zone include:

Hole ID From To Length (m) Au g/t

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
and 278.35 285.00 6.65 4.53
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Additional drilling is planned at the Kiwi zone for later in the year.
Weaver zone
The Weaver zone is located approximately 2.5 kilometres north of the Fekola pit. Structural and lithological modeling of historical drill data suggests that prospective stratigraphy and the shear zone controlling gold mineralization at the Fekola deposit persist along strike to the north of the Fekola pit. To date, one new hole totalling 240 metres has been drilled into the Weaver target.

FKD_189 135.10 150.60 15.50 8.49
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Weaver may represent a previously unrecognized shoot-like structure, similar to the Fekola deposit, within the Fekola shear zone. Follow up drilling of this new, high-grade result is currently underway.
Fekola regional exploration:
In addition to exploration near the Fekola deposit, the Company is also conducting a Fekola regional exploration program.
Anaconda zone
Within the Fekola area, ongoing drilling continues to define a significant, near-surface zone of saprolite-hosted gold mineralization at the Anaconda zone. To date, gold mineralization has been intersected within an area 1,300 metres long by 600 metres wide, across an average drill length of 23 metres. Drill lengths are estimated to represent approximately 86% of true thickness. In 2016, 12,589 combined metres of aircore and reverse circulation drilling have been completed to date.

Note: The above reported intervals of saprolite-hosted gold mineralization are greater than 0.2 g/t gold, with a maximum of 5 m internal waste. At both Anaconda and Adder, combined aircore and reverse circulation drilling has been completed on 40 metre by 40 metre spaced centres. Resource evaluation studies for these areas are to be completed later this year.
Additional target areas
Additional zones of saprolite-hosted gold mineralization have been discovered at Mamba and Boomslang, which occur approximately 1 kilometre east of Adder and Anaconda, respectively. Highlights from these new areas include MSAC_236, 8 metres at 1.36 g/t gold from 14 to 22 metres downhole (Boomslang) and MSAC_275, 8 metres at 2.72 g/t gold from 18 to 26 metres downhole (Mamba). Follow up work in these target areas is planned for later in 2016.
Additional drilling has also been conducted at the Cobra zone, located approximately 1,400 metres east of the Boomslang zone. Cobra has a strong element of structural control and has been defined over a strike length of 2 kilometres and averages approximately 20 metres in width. Highlights from the zone of saprolite-hosted gold mineralization at Cobra include MSAC_131, 20 metres at 4.07 g/t gold from 29 to 49 metres, and MSAC_121, 17 metres at 2.97 g/t gold from 22 to 39 metres.
Drilling is ongoing at the new saprolite-hosted gold zones as well as additional targets in the Fekola area. Moreover, internal studies are currently underway to determine whether the new discoveries contain sufficient resources to supplement the Fekola project or if they constitute a viable, standalone gold project. The widespread occurrence of gold in saprolite is viewed as a positive indication of the potential for underlying bedrock-hosted gold mineralization.
About Fekola
The Fekola project is located in southwestern Mali in the regional province of Kayes, approximately 365 kilometres west of the capital, Bamako. On June 11, 2015, the Company announced robust results from Fekola's optimized feasibility study. Based on probable mineral reserves, the current average annual production for the first seven years is approximately 350,000 ounces of gold per year at average cash operating costs of $418 per ounce of gold (based on low-grade stockpiling in the initial years of operation) and for the 12.5-year life of mine plan, approximately 276,000 ounces of gold per year at average cash operating costs of $552 per ounce of gold. The Fekola mine is currently under construction, and is on schedule and on budget to commence production in late 2017.
Kiaka regional exploration - Burkina Faso
In addition to the exploration program at the Fekola project in Mali, the Company is also conducting a regional exploration program at the Kiaka project in Burkina Faso.
The initial positive drill results from the discoveries at the new Toega prospects in the Kiaka area were presented earlier this year (refer to B2Gold's "2015 Exploration Update" news release dated January 20, 2016). Results included up to 106 metres at 2.21 g/t gold from 75 metres in hole NKRC047. In 2016, a total of 12,320 metres of combined reverse circulation and diamond drilling are budgeted in order to better define the limits of the new zones of gold mineralization and to explore the immediate area for additional mineralization. A program of infill drill holes and metallurgical testing on known mineralization commenced on May 31, 2016, and is ongoing.
In addition, a reconnaissance aircore drilling program to the east of known mineralization intersected 16 metres at 4.16 g/t gold, including 6 metres at 9.90 g/t gold associated with quartz veining hosted in siltstone in hole NKAC_012.
Additional results from the new discoveries will be released as they become available later this year.

The disclosure in this news release regarding mineral properties was prepared in accordance with NI 43-101, which differ significantly from the mineral reserve disclosure requirements of the SEC set out in Industry Guide 7. In particular, NI 43-101 permits companies to use the term "resources", which are not "reserves". U.S. companies subject to the disclosure requirements of the SEC are not normally permitted to disclose mineralization unless they constitute "reserves" by U.S. standards in documents filed with the SEC. Accordingly, while mineral resources are recognized and required to be disclosed by NI 43-101, the SEC's disclosure standards normally do not permit U.S. companies to disclose mineral resources in their filings with the SEC. Investors are specifically cautioned not to assume that any part or all of "indicated mineral resources" or "inferred mineral resources" will ever be converted into SEC defined mineral reserves. Further, while NI 43-101 permits companies to disclose economic projections contained in pre-feasibility studies, which are not based on "reserves", U.S. companies are not normally permitted to disclose economic projections for a mineral property in their SEC filings prior to the establishment of "reserves". In addition, the definitions of "reserves" and related terms under NI 43-101 and the SEC's Industry Guide 7 differ significantly. Under SEC standards, mineralization may not be classified as a "reserve" unless the determination has been made that the mineralization could be economically and legally produced or extracted at the time the reserve determination is made. Among other things, all necessary permits would be required to be in hand or issuance imminent in order to classify mineralized material as reserves under the SEC standards. As a result, reserves disclosed by the Company may not qualify for reserves as defined in the SEC's Industry Guide 7. For the above reasons, information contained in this news release that describes the Company's mineral reserve and resource estimates or that describes the results of the Fekola optimized feasibility study or Kiaka pre-feasibility study is not comparable to similar information made public by U.S. companies subject to the reporting and disclosure requirements of the SEC.
(1) For additional details regarding the optimized feasibility study, please
refer to the Company's news release dated June 11, 2015 or the technical
report in respect of the optimized feasibility study which is filed
under the Company's corporate profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
(2) Probable mineral reserve estimates as disclosed in the Fekola optimized
feasibility study.
(3) The mineral resource estimate for the Kiaka project was prepared as of
January 8, 2013 by Ben Parsons, MSc, MAusIMM (CP), principal consultant
for SRK Consulting (UK) Limited, a Qualified Person as defined under NI
43-101. The estimate reflects the attributable mineral resources based
on B2Gold Corp's 81% interest in the Kiaka project. Mineral resources
are estimated using best practices as defined by the CIM and reporting
of mineral resources is compliant and in accordance with the disclosure
requirements of NI 43-101. Mineral resources that are not mineral
reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. Due to the
uncertainty that may be attached to inferred mineral resources, it
cannot be assumed that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource
will be upgraded to an indicated or measured mineral resource as a
result of continued exploration. Mineral resource numbers have been
rounded to reflect the accuracy of the estimate and numbers may not add
due to rounding.

B2Gold 2016 Exploration Update: West Africa / Positive Drill Results for B2Gold's Fekola and Kiaka Projects
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwired) -- 06/29/16 -- B2Gold Corp. (TSX: BTO)(NYSE MKT: BTG)(NAMIBIAN: B2G) ("B2Gold" or the "Company") is pleased to announce an exploration update for its Fekola and Kiaka projects in West Africa (Mali and Burkina Faso, respectively). All dollar figures are in United States dollars unless otherwise indicated.
Highlights of the new drill results include 15.50 metres at 8.49 g/t (grams per tonne) gold from a diamond drill hole north of the Fekola deposit; 26 metres at 5.44 g/t gold from reverse circulation drilling in a new zone of saprolite-hosted gold mineralization in the Fekola area; and 16 metres at 4.16 g/t gold, including 6 metres at 9.90 g/t gold, intersected in a new target area during the reconnaissance aircore drilling program in the Kiaka area.
The significance of the highlighted (outlined below) and previous positive drill results (released in January this year) at the Fekola project is that they demonstrate the potential for the area to host additional zones of open-pittable gold mineralization similar to the Fekola deposit, as well as significant zones of saprolite-hosted gold mineralization. In addition, deeper drilling below the Fekola deposit returned positive results that indicate the potential for underground mining in the future. Based on the exploration potential and success to date, the Company is constructing the Fekola mine with a +25% design factor. This means that the throughput of ore at Fekola could reach up to 5 million tonnes per year in the initial years of production, beyond the optimized feasibility study's(1) estimated throughput of 4 million tonnes per year. This increase may only require approximately $15 million to $20 million of additional capital expenditure and could potentially increase annual production by up to 20% (subject to final mine planning), surpassing initial projections of approximately 350,000 ounces of gold per year.
To date at the Kiaka project, the positive exploration drill results at the new Toega prospects near the Kiaka deposit indicate the presence of new, potentially higher-grade gold zones. Preliminary internal studies indicate that combining the potential higher-grade ore from the Toega zones with ore from the lower-grade Kiaka deposit could have a very positive effect on the economics of the project. An aggressive 2016 exploration drilling program is intended to further explore and conduct infill drilling at the new, higher-grade gold zones along with metallurgical testing and base line permitting work. The Company's objective is to release an initial resource estimate on the main Toega prospect by the end of 2016.
Based on the positive drill results to date, the exploration budget for West Africa has been increased by $5.5 million, from $9.8 to approximately $15 million. The 2016 exploration budget at the Fekola and Kiaka projects is now $11.4 million and $3.6 million, respectively. B2Gold's total global exploration budget for 2016 is now $35.4 million.
Exploration Results:
Fekola project - Mali
Fekola exploration:
The Company is currently exploring targets near its 3.72 million ounce gold(2) open-pittable Fekola deposit, which is under construction. Elsewhere in the Fekola area, the Company is following up on recent exploration successes announced earlier this year (refer to B2Gold's "2015 Exploration Update" news release dated January 20, 2016). For 2016, a total of 98,500 metres of combined diamond, reverse circulation, aircore and auger drilling have been budgeted to advance exploration targets.
Kiwi zone
The Kiwi zone is located approximately 640 metres north of the proposed pit limits of the Fekola deposit. At Kiwi, exploration is targeting a potential new ore shoot, similar to the shallowly north-northwest plunging, main high-grade portion of the Fekola deposit. The shoot occurs approximately 400 metres up-dip from the Fekola Deeps zone in what appears to be a separate and distinct zone of mineralized folds within the Fekola shear zone. So far in 2016, three drill holes totalling 741 metres have been drilled into Kiwi.
Highlights from the Kiwi zone include:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hole ID From To Length (m) Au g/t
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
FKD_187 189.85 198.00 8.15 1.95
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
FKD_188 240.10 244.70 4.60 11.80
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
and 278.35 285.00 6.65 4.53
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Additional drilling is planned at the Kiwi zone for later in the year.
Weaver zone
The Weaver zone is located approximately 2.5 kilometres north of the Fekola pit. Structural and lithological modeling of historical drill data suggests that prospective stratigraphy and the shear zone controlling gold mineralization at the Fekola deposit persist along strike to the north of the Fekola pit. To date, one new hole totalling 240 metres has been drilled into the Weaver target.
Hole FKD_189 intersected:

Hole ID From To Length (m) Au g/t
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
FKD_189 135.10 150.60 15.50 8.49
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Weaver may represent a previously unrecognized shoot-like structure, similar to the Fekola deposit, within the Fekola shear zone. Follow up drilling of this new, high-grade result is currently underway.
Fekola regional exploration:
In addition to exploration near the Fekola deposit, the Company is also conducting a Fekola regional exploration program.
Anaconda zone
Within the Fekola area, ongoing drilling continues to define a significant, near-surface zone of saprolite-hosted gold mineralization at the Anaconda zone. To date, gold mineralization has been intersected within an area 1,300 metres long by 600 metres wide, across an average drill length of 23 metres. Drill lengths are estimated to represent approximately 86% of true thickness. In 2016, 12,589 combined metres of aircore and reverse circulation drilling have been completed to date.

Adder zone
The Adder zone comprises saprolite-hosted gold mineralization located immediately west of and contiguous with Anaconda. Mineralization at Adder occurs within a northerly trending linear zone approximately 2,450 metres long by 250 metres wide, across an average drill hole length of 18 metres. Drill lengths are estimated to represent approximately 86% of true thickness. In 2016, 8,484 metres of combined aircore and reverse circulation have been completed to date at Adder.

Note: The above reported intervals of saprolite-hosted gold mineralization are greater than 0.2 g/t gold, with a maximum of 5 m internal waste. At both Anaconda and Adder, combined aircore and reverse circulation drilling has been completed on 40 metre by 40 metre spaced centres. Resource evaluation studies for these areas are to be completed later this year.
Additional target areas
Additional zones of saprolite-hosted gold mineralization have been discovered at Mamba and Boomslang, which occur approximately 1 kilometre east of Adder and Anaconda, respectively. Highlights from these new areas include MSAC_236, 8 metres at 1.36 g/t gold from 14 to 22 metres downhole (Boomslang) and MSAC_275, 8 metres at 2.72 g/t gold from 18 to 26 metres downhole (Mamba). Follow up work in these target areas is planned for later in 2016.
Additional drilling has also been conducted at the Cobra zone, located approximately 1,400 metres east of the Boomslang zone. Cobra has a strong element of structural control and has been defined over a strike length of 2 kilometres and averages approximately 20 metres in width. Highlights from the zone of saprolite-hosted gold mineralization at Cobra include MSAC_131, 20 metres at 4.07 g/t gold from 29 to 49 metres, and MSAC_121, 17 metres at 2.97 g/t gold from 22 to 39 metres.
Drilling is ongoing at the new saprolite-hosted gold zones as well as additional targets in the Fekola area. Moreover, internal studies are currently underway to determine whether the new discoveries contain sufficient resources to supplement the Fekola project or if they constitute a viable, standalone gold project. The widespread occurrence of gold in saprolite is viewed as a positive indication of the potential for underlying bedrock-hosted gold mineralization.
About Fekola
The Fekola project is located in southwestern Mali in the regional province of Kayes, approximately 365 kilometres west of the capital, Bamako. On June 11, 2015, the Company announced robust results from Fekola's optimized feasibility study. Based on probable mineral reserves, the current average annual production for the first seven years is approximately 350,000 ounces of gold per year at average cash operating costs of $418 per ounce of gold (based on low-grade stockpiling in the initial years of operation) and for the 12.5-year life of mine plan, approximately 276,000 ounces of gold per year at average cash operating costs of $552 per ounce of gold. The Fekola mine is currently under construction, and is on schedule and on budget to commence production in late 2017.
Kiaka regional exploration - Burkina Faso
In addition to the exploration program at the Fekola project in Mali, the Company is also conducting a regional exploration program at the Kiaka project in Burkina Faso.
The initial positive drill results from the discoveries at the new Toega prospects in the Kiaka area were presented earlier this year (refer to B2Gold's "2015 Exploration Update" news release dated January 20, 2016). Results included up to 106 metres at 2.21 g/t gold from 75 metres in hole NKRC047. In 2016, a total of 12,320 metres of combined reverse circulation and diamond drilling are budgeted in order to better define the limits of the new zones of gold mineralization and to explore the immediate area for additional mineralization. A program of infill drill holes and metallurgical testing on known mineralization commenced on May 31, 2016, and is ongoing.
In addition, a reconnaissance aircore drilling program to the east of known mineralization intersected 16 metres at 4.16 g/t gold, including 6 metres at 9.90 g/t gold associated with quartz veining hosted in siltstone in hole NKAC_012.
Additional results from the new discoveries will be released as they become available later this year.

The Toronto Stock Exchange neither approves nor disapproves the information contained in this news release.
This news release includes certain "forward-looking information" and "forward-looking statements" (collectively, "forward-looking statements") within the meaning of applicable Canadian and United States securities legislation, including projections of future financial and operational performance, statements with respect to future events or future performance, production estimates, anticipated operating and production costs, budgets and statements regarding anticipated or planned exploration, development, construction, production, permitting and other activities on the Company's properties and the results thereof, including the construction and potential production from the Fekola mine by the end of 2017, the projections contained in the Fekola optimized feasibility study and Kiaka pre-feasibility study, including the estimated annual gold production, cash operating costs and mine life at Fekola and Kiaka, the planned exploration at Fekola and Kiaka and the results thereof, estimates of true thicknesses, the identification of potential new mineral resources, mineralization or discoveries; the potential for underground mining at Fekola, the potential throughput at Fekola of up to 5 million tonnes per year in the initial years of production, the estimated capital expenditures required to reach such throughput and the potential to increase estimated production at Fekola; the effect of adding mineralization from the Toega prospect on the economics of the Kiaka project and the release of a gold resource estimate on the main Toega prospect by the end of 2016; and the Company producing approximately 800,000 to 850,000 gold ounces per year by 2018. Estimates of mineral resources and reserves are also forward-looking statements because they constitute projections regarding the amount of minerals that may be encountered in the future and/or the anticipated economics of production, should a production decision be made. All statements in this news release that address events or developments that we expect to occur in the future are forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements are statements that are not historical facts and are generally, although not always, identified by words such as "expect", "plan", "anticipate", "project", "target", "potential", "schedule", "forecast", "budget", "estimate", "intend" or "believe" and similar expressions or their negative connotations, or that events or conditions "will", "would", "may", "could", "should" or "might" occur. All such forward-looking statements are based on the opinions and estimates of management as of the date such statements are made. Forward-looking statements necessarily involve assumptions, risks and uncertainties, certain of which are beyond B2Gold's control, including the assumptions contained in the Fekola optimized feasibility study and Kiaka pre-feasibility Study; risks associated with the uncertainty of reserve and resource estimates; volatility of metal and currency prices; risks and dangers inherent in exploration, development and mining activities; financing risks; ability to obtain any necessary permits, consents or authorizations required for its activities; shortages or cost increases in necessary equipment, supplies and labour; regulatory, political and country risks; litigation risk; risks related to hedging activities; risks related to environmental regulations or hazards and compliance with complex regulations associated with mining activities; the ability to replace mineral reserves and identify acquisition opportunities; unknown liabilities of companies acquired by B2Gold; risks related to operations in foreign countries and compliance with foreign laws; risks related to remote operations and the availability adequate infrastructure; fluctuations in price and availability of energy and other inputs necessary for mining operations; risks related to reliance upon contractors, third parties and joint venture partners; challenges to title or surface rights; dependence on key personnel; the risk of an uninsurable or uninsured loss; changes in tax laws; and community support for operations; as well as other factors identified and as described in more detail under the heading "Risk Factors" in B2Gold's most recent Annual Information Form and B2Gold's other filings with Canadian securities regulators and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), which may be viewed at www.sedar.com and www.sec.gov, respectively.
The list is not exhaustive of the factors that may affect the Company's forward -looking statements. There can be no assurance that such statements will prove to be accurate, and actual results, performance or achievements could differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, these forward-looking statements. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that any events anticipated by the forward-looking statements will transpire or occur, or if any of them do, what benefits B2Gold will derive therefrom. The Company's forward-looking statements reflect current expectations regarding future events and operating performance and speak only as of the date hereof and the Company does not assume any obligation to update forward-looking statements if circumstances or management's beliefs, expectations or opinions should change other than as required by applicable law. For the reasons set forth above, you should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.
The disclosure in this news release regarding mineral properties was prepared in accordance with NI 43-101, which differ significantly from the mineral reserve disclosure requirements of the SEC set out in Industry Guide 7. In particular, NI 43-101 permits companies to use the term "resources", which are not "reserves". U.S. companies subject to the disclosure requirements of the SEC are not normally permitted to disclose mineralization unless they constitute "reserves" by U.S. standards in documents filed with the SEC. Accordingly, while mineral resources are recognized and required to be disclosed by NI 43-101, the SEC's disclosure standards normally do not permit U.S. companies to disclose mineral resources in their filings with the SEC. Investors are specifically cautioned not to assume that any part or all of "indicated mineral resources" or "inferred mineral resources" will ever be converted into SEC defined mineral reserves. Further, while NI 43-101 permits companies to disclose economic projections contained in pre-feasibility studies, which are not based on "reserves", U.S. companies are not normally permitted to disclose economic projections for a mineral property in their SEC filings prior to the establishment of "reserves". In addition, the definitions of "reserves" and related terms under NI 43-101 and the SEC's Industry Guide 7 differ significantly. Under SEC standards, mineralization may not be classified as a "reserve" unless the determination has been made that the mineralization could be economically and legally produced or extracted at the time the reserve determination is made. Among other things, all necessary permits would be required to be in hand or issuance imminent in order to classify mineralized material as reserves under the SEC standards. As a result, reserves disclosed by the Company may not qualify for reserves as defined in the SEC's Industry Guide 7. For the above reasons, information contained in this news release that describes the Company's mineral reserve and resource estimates or that describes the results of the Fekola optimized feasibility study or Kiaka pre-feasibility study is not comparable to similar information made public by U.S. companies subject to the reporting and disclosure requirements of the SEC.
(1) For additional details regarding the optimized feasibility study, please
refer to the Company's news release dated June 11, 2015 or the technical
report in respect of the optimized feasibility study which is filed
under the Company's corporate profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
(2) Probable mineral reserve estimates as disclosed in the Fekola optimized
feasibility study.
(3) The mineral resource estimate for the Kiaka project was prepared as of
January 8, 2013 by Ben Parsons, MSc, MAusIMM (CP), principal consultant
for SRK Consulting (UK) Limited, a Qualified Person as defined under NI
43-101. The estimate reflects the attributable mineral resources based
on B2Gold Corp's 81% interest in the Kiaka project. Mineral resources
are estimated using best practices as defined by the CIM and reporting
of mineral resources is compliant and in accordance with the disclosure
requirements of NI 43-101. Mineral resources that are not mineral
reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. Due to the
uncertainty that may be attached to inferred mineral resources, it
cannot be assumed that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource
will be upgraded to an indicated or measured mineral resource as a
result of continued exploration. Mineral resource numbers have been
rounded to reflect the accuracy of the estimate and numbers may not add
due to rounding.

B2Gold – Rekordproduktion schickt Aktie auf 52 Wochenhoch
Die Aktie des kanadischen Goldproduzenten B2Gold (WKN A0M889) erreichte am gestrigen Mittwoch zwischenzeitlich ein neues 52-Wochenhoch von 4 CAD, nachdem das Unternehmen für das zweite Quartal einen Produktionsrekord meldete. B2Gold teilte mit, dass man in den drei Monaten bis Ende Juni insgesamt 135.242 Unzen des Gelben Metalls produzierte. Das sind 4% oder 5.697 Unzen mehr als geplant sowie 11% oder 13.676 Unzen mehr als im gleichen Zeitraum 2015. Entsprechend meldete das Unternehmen auch einen Rekordumsatz in Höhe von 164,8 Mio. Dollar aus dem Verkauf von 130.829 Unzen Gold zu einem durchschnittlichen Verkaufspreis von 1.260 Dollar pro Unze. Das stell einen Umsatzanstieg gegenüber dem zweiten Quartal 2015 von 21% dar. Dabei produzierte die Masbate-Mine auf den Philippinen mit 57.188 Unzen Gold 27% oder 12.159 Unzen mehr als geplant. B2Gold teilte – wenig verwunderlich – mit, dass man auf dem besten Wege sei, das Produktionsziel für 2016 von 510.000 bis 550.000 Unzen Gold zu erreichen. Das Unternehmen rechnet dabei mit operativen Cashkosten von 560 bis 595 Dollar pro Unze sowie so genannten „all-in sustaining costs“ (AISC) zwischen 895 und 925 Dollar pro Unze. Darüber hinaus gab man bekannt, dass die Fekola-Mine in Mali, die 350.000 Unzen Gold pro Jahr produzieren soll, wie geplant – im Zeit- und Budgetrahmen – voranschreite. Ende 2017 soll dort das erste Gold produziert werden.

Zitat von cervical: Goldaktien-Favorit von Canaccord, Nummer 3: B2Gold Corp.
Canaccord hat für diesen Titel das Kursziel um 36 Prozent von 3,50 Kanada-Dollar auf 4,75 Kanada-Dollar erhöht. Das birgt ein Aufwärtspotenzial von 34,2 Prozent. Außerdem wurde der Nettoinventarwert von 3,20 Kanada-Dollar je Aktie auf 3,99 Kanada-Dollar nach oben angepasst. Die Schätzungen für den Gewinn je Aktie in diesem Jahr wurde von 0,06 Kanada-Dollar auf 0,08 Kanada-Dollar erhöht und für den Cash Flow je Aktie von 1,58 Kanada-Dollar auf 1,65 Kanada-Dollar.
Neben Agnico Eagle ist dieser Titel aus dem Edelmetallsektor in der hauseigenen Focus List enthalten. Begründet wird das nicht zuletzt mit dem Hebel, über den der Wert bei einem steigenden Goldpreis verfügt. Hinzu komme signifikantes Explorationspotenzial und ein organisches Produktionswachstum. Die Kaufempfehlung besteht ansonsten auch deshalb, weil man im zweiten Halbjahr 2016 mit positiven Überraschungen bei einigen der verfolgten Projekten rechnet. Mit Blick auf die Aktivitäten auf den Philippinen wird nicht mit negativen Auswirkungen durch den jüngst vollzogenen politischen Wechsel gerechnet, weil B2Gold die Anforderungen an Minenunternehmen erfüllen sollte.

Spectacular Chinese Gold Demand In 2015 Fully Denied By GFMS And Mainstream Media
So, I hope to have clarified why according to my estimates true Chinese gold demand in 2015 must have been north of 2,250 tonnes (import 1,575 tonnes, mine output 450 tonnes, scrap supply 225 tonnes). More details in the next post when we will discuss the tax scheme.

Junior and mid-tier gold producers leading growth: Haywood
Investment dealer Haywood Securities has just made public an industry report where it states that junior and mid-tier gold producers such as Alamos Gold, B2Gold Corp, and Endeavour are leading the way when it comes to strong balance sheets and cash-flow generating potential. Such potential is the result of asset purchases and organic growth, the latter being a consequence of the very recent gold price increase.http://www.mining.com/junior-and-mid-tier-gold-producers-lea…

UPDATE lunchtime: BTO announces this and the feeling above fits into the contents that 1) not as serious as other cases 2) the loose cannon effect still can't be ruled out. Bottom line is that before I was reasonably relaxed about holding through, now I'm even more relaxed, but I'm too whussy to add any more (plus I'm already overweight BTO, the eggs-in-one-basket rule says I shouldn't rush and and get more). Or as reader RL succinctly put it in the shortest mail I've received today, "Overblown...blow over".

Gold-Geheimtipp vor dem Durchbruch?
B2Gold schreibt wieder schwarze Zahlen. Nach dem Verlust im ersten Quartal dieses Jahres, erwirtschaftet das Unternehmen im zweiten Quartal ein Plus von 19,3 Millionen Dollar oder 0,02 Dollar je Aktie. Die Produktion hängt etwas hinterher und so wurden die Erwartungen auf 530.000 bis 570.000 Unzen um vier Prozent gesenkt. Die vielversprechenden Explorationsprojekte versprechen jedoch eine erhebliche Steigerung in den nächsten zwei Jahren.http://www.deraktionaer.de/aktie/gold-geheimtipp-vor-dem-dur…
