2026 GEOs Guidance Increased
The company increased its 2026 Gold Equivalent Ounces (GEOs) guidance to 100,000-110,000 GEOs, up from the previous guidance of 95,000-105,000 GEOs. This upward revision is attributed to the receipt of gold and silver deliveries from the Steppe settlement and the fixed gold deliveries expected in the second half of 2026.
Analysis
The resolution of the dispute with Steppe Gold removes uncertainty and provides immediate gold and silver deliveries, along with a schedule of fixed future gold deliveries. This positive development, coupled with strong year-to-date performance, has led to a material increase in the company's 2026 GEOs guidance, signaling improved operational outlook and potential for higher revenue.
