B2Gold Corp (TSX: BTO, NYSE AMERICAN: BTG) has announced significant changes to its shareholder returns strategy. The company is reducing its quarterly dividend from $0.04 to $0.02 per common share ($0.08 annualized), representing a 3.3% pro forma dividend yield as of December 31, 2024.
The dividend adjustment aims to increase financial flexibility during the company's organic growth phase, which includes the development of Fekola Regional in Mali, construction of the Goose Mine in Canada, development of the Antelope deposit in Namibia, and de-risking activities at the Gramalote Project in Colombia.
Additionally, B2Gold plans to implement a Normal Course Issuer Bid (NCIB) to purchase up to 5% of its outstanding shares (1,318,040,605 shares as of January 13, 2025) through various trading facilities, subject to TSX approval.
B2Gold reported total gold production of 804,778 ounces for 2024, within its revised guidance range. The company achieved strong quarterly gold revenue of $500 million in Q4 2024, with full-year revenue reaching $1.90 billion at an average realized gold price of $2,373 per ounce.
For 2025, B2Gold anticipates total gold production between 970,000 and 1,075,000 ounces, with significant increases expected in the second half of the year. This growth will be driven by higher-grade ore from Fekola Phase 7, contributions from Fekola Regional starting mid-2025, and the commencement of the Goose Project by Q2 2025.
The Goose Project remains on track for first gold in Q2 2025, with total capital estimate maintained at C$1,540 million. As of November 2024, approximately 83% of total estimated cash expenditures to first gold had been incurred.
B2Gold Corp reports ongoing operations at its Fekola Mine in Mali despite a seven-day strike that began on November 29, 2024. The company maintains full mill throughput capacity and expects to achieve the lower end of its 2024 production guidance of 420,000-450,000 gold ounces. The strike follows disciplinary actions against employees involved in previous illegal activities. B2Gold continues to progress on implementing the September 2024 Memorandum of Agreement with Mali, including pending permits for Fekola Regional, which could add 80,000-100,000 ounces of annual gold production starting early 2025.

The Umwelt deposit drilling confirmed high-grade gold mineralization continuity, with several holes returning higher grades than predicted. These results demonstrate potential to extend mine life and increase mineral resources at the Goose Project.
