Masbate and Otjikoto both continued to outperform expectations in the fourth quarter of 2024, which partially offset lower than expected production levels at Fekola during the quarter due to the continued delays in accessing higher-grade ore from Fekola Phase 7, a result of lower realized mine production from the Fekola Phase 7 and Cardinal pits during the period.
