Fortuna delivered 317,001 gold equivalent ounces in 2025 and reported Séguéla produced 36,942 ounces of gold in Q4 2025 amid some SAG mill downtime and planned maintenance.

Fortuna reported its full-year 2025 production results and published an outlook for 2026. The company states it delivered 317,001 gold equivalent ounces (GEO) in 2025. Fourth-quarter figures include ore mined from the Antenna, Ancien and Koula pits and operational notes from the Séguéla mine. The company also described maintenance activity and initiatives intended to address recovery into 2026. Reported production and operations: - 2025 production delivered: 317,001 gold equivalent ounces (GEO). - Q4 2025 ore mined: 340,464 tonnes at an average grade of 3.71 g/t Au, containing an estimated 40,614 ounces of gold from the Antenna, Ancien and Koula pits. - Waste moved in Q4 2025: 3,920,293 tonnes, yielding a strip ratio of 11.5:1. - Séguéla Q4 2025 gold production: 36,942 ounces at an average head grade of 3.16 g/t Au, a 5% decrease from Q3 2025 driven by a 6% drop in tonnes milled partially offset by a 5% higher grade. - Lower tonnes milled in Q4 were reported as primarily due to a failure of the SAG mill motor cooling system in October and other planned maintenance; gold recoveries increased modestly following carbon-in-leach tank maintenance completed in Q3. - The company reports initiatives are underway to further improve gold recovery in 2026 and has issued a 2026 outlook. Summary: Fortuna reports it met its 2025 production guidance by delivering 317,001 GEO. Operational disruptions and planned maintenance in Q4 reduced tonnes milled at Séguéla and contributed to a modest quarterly decrease in ounces. The company reports modest recovery improvements and says initiatives to improve recovery are underway for 2026, and it has issued its 2026 outlook.
