By Reuters News


Overview

  • Canada gold miner's Q3 adjusted EPS missed analyst expectations

  • Company cut 2026 gold production and raised cost guidance due to slower ramp-up at Skouries

Result Drivers

  • SKOURIES RAMP-UP DELAYS - Slower than expected ramp-up at Skouries led to reduced production guidance and higher capital spending

  • KISLADAG AND OLYMPIAS LOWER OUTPUT - Lower grades and delayed access to higher-grade material at Kisladag, and expansion timing at Olympias, reduced Q3 gold production

  • HIGHER COSTS - Increased sustaining capital, higher royalty expenses, and pre-commercial production costs at McIlvenna Bay raised total cash costs and AISC
