IAMGOLD Achieves 43% Increase In 2024 Production, Targets Domestic Growth In 2025
IAMGOLD Achieves 43% Increase In 2024 Production, Targets Domestic Growth In 2025
On Wednesday, mid-tier gold miner IAMGOLD (NYSE:IAG) announced production of 667,000 ounces in 2024, marking a 43% increase from the previous year. This performance met its revised guidance at a mid-point, owing to strong production at the Essakane mine in Burkina Faso and the Westwood and Côté Gold mine in Canada.
在週三,中型黃金礦商Iamgold(紐交所:IAG)宣佈2024年生產667,000盎司黃金,比去年增長了43%。這一表現符合其修訂後的中間指導值,這得益於布基納法索的Essakane礦和加拿大的Westwood與Côté Gold礦的強勁生產。
Essakane was the top producer, contributing 409,000 attributable ounces. While head grades decreased slightly in the latter half of the year, planned waste stripping positioned the mine for stable 2025 production of 360,000–400,000 ounces.
Essakane是最大的生產者,貢獻了409,000盎司可歸屬黃金。儘管下半年頭礦品位略有下降,但計劃的廢石剝離使礦山爲2025年穩定生產360,000–400,000盎司奠定了基礎。
The Westwood complex in southwestern Québec also exceeded expectations, producing 134,000 ounces and surpassing its guidance of 115,000–130,000 ounces.
位於魁北克西南部的Westwood綜合體也超出了預期,生產了134,000盎司,超過了其115,000–130,000盎司的指導目標。
Côté Gold, which poured its first gold on March 31, contributed 124,000 attributable ounces, as CEO Renaud Adams called the ramp-up "among the quickest" for a large-scale open-pit mine in Canada. Despite operational challenges, including a conveyor belt failure in December, the plant achieved several milestones, with periods of throughput exceeding nameplate capacity.
Côté Gold於3月31日首次鑄造黃金,貢獻了124,000盎司可歸屬黃金,首席執行官Renaud Adams稱其增產速度"是加拿大大型露天礦中最快的"之一。儘管面臨包括12月輸送帶故障在內的操作挑戰,該工廠實現了多個里程碑,生產期間的產量超過了額定能力。
IAMGOLD aims to stabilize operations in 2025, with Côté expected to double production to 250,000–280,000 ounces attributable by year-end as the mine targets its full design throughput of 36,000 tons per day.
Iamgold旨在於2025年穩定運營,預計Côté的生產將在年底前翻倍,達到250,000–280,000盎司可歸屬黃金,因爲該礦目標是每天36,000噸的設計產能。
Côté's output is the primary driver for higher expectations for 2025, set for 735,000–820,000 ounces. The company anticipates all-in-sustaining costs (AISC) of $1,625–$1,800 per ounce, with costs decreasing in the second half of the year as Côté achieves greater efficiency.
Côté的產量是2025年更高預期的主要驅動因素,預計爲735,000–820,000盎司。該公司預計全維持成本(AISC)將在每盎司1,625–1,800美元,隨着Côté實現更高效率,成本將在下半年下降。
Naturally, Côté will be the firm's exploration focus in 2025. Out of the $38 million budget, $13 million will go to Côté's resource conversion and district-wide exploration. The rest will serve to further drill at Essakane and advance the Nelligan project, which sits in the historic Chibougamau camp in Québec.
自然地,Côté將在2025年成爲公司的勘探重點。在3800萬美元的預算中,1300萬美元將用於Côté的資源轉化和區內勘探。其餘資金將用於在Essakane的進一步鑽探和推進位於魁北克歷史悠久的Chibougamau營地的Nelligan項目。
Despite a relatively low debt-to-equity ratio of 24.5%, IAMGOLD manages capital expenditures carefully, including $290 million in sustaining capital and $20 million in expansion projects.
儘管債務與股本比率相對較低,爲24.5%,Iamgold依然謹慎管理資本支出,包括29000萬美元的維持資本支出和2000萬美元的擴展項目。
Key projects include installing an additional secondary crusher at Côté Gold and continued development at Westwood and Essakane.
關鍵項目包括在Côté黃金安裝額外的二級破碎機,以及在Westwood和Essakane的持續開發。
After a successful 2024, IAMGOLD is ready for more of the same. With Côté's advancement and strategic domestic exploration, the firm is well-positioned for growth toward one million ounces in attributable annual production within this decade.
在成功的2024年之後,Iamgold準備迎接更多相似的發展。隨着Côté的推進和戰略性國內勘探,該公司在本十年內非常適合實現年產量達到一百萬盎司的增長。
