Highlights

  • Adjusted EBITDA reached a record US$134.5 million, while operating cash flow climbed to US$109.3 million.
  • The two mines offer scope for increased production, expansion projects and continued exploration.

Record Quarter Marks Two-Mine Milestone

Orezone Gold Corporation (ASX: ORE) announced its second-quarter 2026 results on 12 August 2026, reporting a major step forward following the acquisition of the Casa Berardi mine in March. The June quarter marked the company’s first full reporting period with two producing gold mines. During the quarter, gold output reached a record 58,566 ounces, while sales totalled 60,654 ounces, achieved at an average realised price of US$4,401 per ounce. Revenue surged to US$271.6 million, accompanied by adjusted EBITDA of US$134.5 million and net earnings of US$45.2 million.

Bomboré Delivers Higher Production

Bomboré remained a significant contributor, producing 38,063 ounces in Q2, up 38% from 27,548 ounces a year earlier. The increase was largely driven by a 59% improvement in plant throughput following the start-up of the hard rock plant. Work on the Stage 2A hard rock expansion at Bomboré is advancing, with engineering and procurement largely completed and commissioning targeted for October 2026. Engineering and procurement were essentially complete by 30 June, with commissioning targeted for October 2026.

Casa Berardi Adds Growth Potential

Casa Berardi produced 20,503 ounces during Q2 from 364,000 tonnes of ore processed, with production described as being in line with plan. Plant upgrades, including a new Knelson concentrator, helped improve throughput and gravity gold recovery towards the end of the quarter.Exploration has also restarted across the property, targeting potential pit extensions and higher-grade underground mineralisation. Orezone plans to gradually increase exploration drilling to 80,000–100,000 metres annually.

Outlook Strengthens

For 2026, consolidated production guidance remains at 222,000–247,000 ounces, while AISC guidance stands at US$2,200–US$2,400 per ounce. The company anticipates stronger gold output in the second half of 2026, as mining plans shift toward higher-grade ore zones. With operational improvements, expansion projects and exploration underway, Orezone enters the second half of 2026 with multiple potential growth catalysts across its portfolio.Note- All data presented is based on information available at the time of writing.Disclaimer for Kapitales ResearchThe materials provided by Kapitales Research, including articles, news, data, reports, opinions, images, charts, and videos ("Content"), are intended for personal, non-commercial use only.
