B2Gold production surges as new Mali mine outperforms

For ten consecutive years, Canada’s B2Gold has booked record gold production and 2018 was no different, with the miner lifting output by 51% to 953 504 oz in what it describes as a “year of transformational growth”. Production received a major boost from the new large Fekola mine, in Mali, which achieved commercial production on November 30, 2017, and from record production at the Masbate mine, in the Philippines.
