Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2025 and 2024
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of B2Gold Corp.
Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of B2Gold Corp. and its subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the related consolidated statements of operations, of comprehensive income (loss), of changes in equity and of cash flows for the years then ended, including the related notes (collectively referred to as the consolidated financial statements). We also have audited the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control ‒ Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control ‒ Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the COSO.
Basis for Opinions
The Company’s management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting on page 24 of the 2025 Management’s Discussion and Analysis. Our responsibility is to express opinions on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.
Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well

as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (i) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (ii) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.
Accounting and valuation of convertible senior unsecured note
As described in Notes 4 and 12 to the consolidated financial statements, on January 28, 2025, the Company issued convertible senior unsecured notes (”the Notes”) with an aggregate principal amount of $460 million. The Notes were accounted for as a compound financial instrument consisting of a financial liability of $365 million, representing the fair value of the liability component on initial recognition and a conversion option, that was classified as equity, of $95 million, representing the residual amount. The
determination of the accounting of the Notes as a compound financial instrument with an equity component and the measurement of the fair value of the liability component at initial recognition required management to make judgments and estimates. Management determined that the conversion feature satisfied the requirements to be recognized as an equity component as the conversion feature would result in a fixed number of shares of its own equity instruments being issued for a fixed amount of consideration taking into consideration potential adjustments to the initial conversion ratio, if the Notes were converted. The fair value of the financial liability component of the Notes was measured as the present value of the contractual principal and interest payments using a discount rate.
The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the accounting and valuation of the convertible senior unsecured notes is a critical audit matter are (i) the judgments in determining whether the conversion feature represented a contract that could be settled by the Company delivering a fixed number of its own equity instruments, in exchange for a fixed amount of consideration taking into consideration potential adjustments to the initial conversion ratio (ii) the judgements and estimates made by management to determine the initial fair value of the liability component of the Notes (iii) a high degree of auditor judgement in evaluating the audit evidence for the accounting of the Notes and the significant audit effort due to the subjectivity and judgement to evaluate the audit evidence obtained related to the fair value of the liability component of the Notes; and (iv) the audit effort involved the use of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge.
Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls related to the accounting of the Notes and the fair value of the liability component at initial recognition. These procedures also included, among others, (i) assessing the terms of the Notes including the conversion feature and assessing the judgment in determining whether the conversion feature represented a contract that could be settled by the Company by delivering a fixed number of its own equity instruments in exchange for a fixed amount of consideration taking into consideration potential adjustments to the initial conversion ratio; and (ii) developing, with the assistance of professionals with specialized skilled and knowledge, an independent range of estimates for the fair value of the liability component using independently determined assumptions and comparing the independent range to management’s fair value at initial recognition.

2Basis of preparation
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IFRS”). These consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on February 18, 2026.
3Recent accounting pronouncements
Pronouncements issued but not yet effective
Amendments to IFRS 9, Financial instruments, and IFRS 7, Financial instruments: Disclosures
In May 2024, the IASB issued amendments to update the classification and measurement requirements in IFRS 9 and related disclosure requirements in IFRS 7 as follows:
•Clarified the recognition and derecognition date of certain financial assets and liabilities and amended the requirements related to settling financial liabilities using an electronic payment system. For a financial liability settled in cash using an electronic payment system, the amendments permit an entity to deem the financial liability to be discharged before the settlement date provided certain criteria are met.
•Clarified how to assess the contractual cash flow characteristics of financial assets in determining whether they meet the solely payments of principal and interest criteria.
•New disclosures for certain instruments with contractual terms that can change cash flows (including instruments with features linked to environmental, social and corporate governance targets).
•Additional disclosure requirements for financial instruments with contingent features that do not relate directly to basic lending risks and costs.
•Amended disclosures relating to equity instruments designated at fair value through other comprehensive income.
These amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2026, with early application permitted for certain provisions. The Company may elect to apply the accounting policy choice permitted by the amendments to determine the settlement date for electronic payments based on the date preceding actual settlement. The Company has not yet adopted the amendments but does not expect the amendments to have a significant impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.
IFRS 18, Presentation and disclosure in financial statements
In April 2024, the IASB issued IFRS 18, Presentation and disclosure in financial statements ("IFRS 18"), which replaces IAS 1, Presentation of financial statements. IFRS 18 introduces an updated structure for the income statement by requiring income and expenses to be presented in three defined categories (operating, investing and financing), and by specifying certain defined totals and subtotals. Where company-specific measures related to income statement disclosure are provided ("management-defined performance measures"), such as certain non-GAAP measures, IFRS 18 requires additional disclosure around those management-defined performance measures in the notes to the financial statements. IFRS 18 provides additional guidance on principles of aggregation and disaggregation which apply to the primary financial statements and the notes to the financial statements. IFRS 18 does not affect the recognition and measurement of items in the financial statements, nor does it affect which items are classified as other comprehensive income and how these items are classified.

|
The standard is effective for reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027, including for interim financial statements. Retrospective application is required and early adoption is permitted. The Company has begun assessing the impact of IFRS 18 to its consolidated financial statements, particularly with respect to the structure of the Consolidated Statement of Operations, the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows and additional disclosures required for management-defined performance measures in the notes to the financial statements. This project is expected to continue throughout 2026. The Company is also still assessing the impact of the new standard on the presentation and disaggregation of line items in the Consolidated Financial Statements.
4Summary of material accounting policies
The material accounting policies used in the preparation of these financial statements are as follows:
Principles of consolidation
The financial statements of the Company consolidate the accounts of B2Gold and its subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions, balances, and unrealized gains and losses from intercompany transactions are eliminated on consolidation.
The Company’s most significant wholly-owned and partially owned subsidiaries are presented below:
| | | | | | | | |
| | | % interest |
| - | Fekola SA (“Fekola Mine”) | 80 | |
| - | B2Gold Namibia (Pty) Ltd. (“Otjikoto Mine”) | 90 | |
| - | Philippines Gold Processing & Refining Corporation (“Masbate Mine”) | 100 | |
| - | Filminera Resources Corporation ("Masbate Mine") | 40 | |
| - | B2Gold Back River Corp ("Goose Mine") | 100 | |
| - | Gramalote Limited ("Gramalote Project") | 100 | |
Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Company. Control exists when the Company has power over an investee, when the Company is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from the investee and when the Company has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is obtained by B2Gold and are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases.
The Company holds its interest in the Masbate Gold Project (which operates the Masbate Mine) through two indirectly-owned subsidiaries. B2Gold has a 100% interest in Philippines Gold Processing & Refining Corporation (“PGPRC”) and a 40% interest in Filminera Resources Corporation (“FRC”). The remaining 60% interest in FRC is held by a Philippines-registered company that is owned by a Philippine shareholder. The Company consolidates the Masbate Gold Project as a result of its ownership interests and the contractual relationship between the entities. FRC owns the majority of the Masbate Gold Project tenements. PGPRC owns the process plant and is responsible for the sale of all gold. PGPRC and FRC have a contractual relationship, which includes PGPRC purchasing all of the ore production from FRC at a price equal to the cost for the ore plus a predetermined margin. For accounting purposes, this contractual relationship gives the Company control to consolidate FRC.
The Company's interest in Versamet is accounted for as investment in associates (Note 10). The Company does not control Versamet but does exert significant influence over their operations. The Company accounts for its interest in Versamet using the equity method.
Investments in joint arrangements and associates
A joint arrangement is a contractual arrangement whereby two or more parties undertake an economic activity that is subject to joint control. Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement, which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control. An associate is an investment over which the Company exercises significant influence, but not control or joint control, over the financial and operating policies and normally owns between 20% and 50% of the voting equity.
A joint arrangement is classified as a joint operation or joint venture. The parties to a joint operation have the rights to the underlying assets and are exposed to the underlying liabilities of the joint arrangement. The Company accounts for investment in joint operations by recognizing its share of the operations underlying assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. The parties to a joint venture have an interest in the underlying net assets of the joint arrangement. Investments in joint ventures are also accounted for using the equity method.

|
Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method. The equity method involves recording the initial investment at cost. Additional funding into an investee is recorded as an increase in the carrying value of the investment. The carrying amount is adjusted by the Company’s share of post-acquisition net income or loss, dilution gains or losses (resulting from changes in ownership interest), depreciation or amortization. The carrying value of equity-accounted investments is reviewed when indicators arise and if any impairment or impairment reversal has occurred, it is recognised in the period in which the impairment arose.
Business combinations
A business combination requires that the assets acquired and liabilities assumed constitute a business. A business is an integrated set of activities and assets that is capable of being conducted and managed for the purpose of providing goods or services to customers, generating investment income (such as dividends or interest) or generating other income from ordinary activities. A business consists of inputs and processes applied to those inputs that have the ability to create outputs. Although businesses usually have outputs, outputs are not required for an integrated set to qualify as a business as the Company considers other factors to determine whether the set of activities or assets is a business.
The Company has an option to apply a ‘concentration test’ to assess whether an acquired set of activities and assets are not a business. If substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single, identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets, the concentration test is met, and the transaction is accounted for as an asset acquisition. In such cases, the acquirer identifies and recognizes the individual identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The cost of the net assets is allocated to the individual identifiable assets and liabilities on the basis of their relative fair values at the date of purchase. Such a transaction or event will not give rise to goodwill. Acquisition-related costs in an asset acquisition are recognized as part of the cost of the assets acquired.
Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method whereby acquired assets and liabilities are recorded at fair value as of the date of acquisition with the excess of the purchase consideration over such fair value being recorded as goodwill. Non-controlling interests in an acquisition may be measured at either fair value or at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the fair value of the acquiree’s net identifiable assets.
The excess of (i) total consideration transferred by the Company, measured at fair value, including contingent consideration, and (ii) the non-controlling interests in the acquiree, over the acquisition-date fair value of the net of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, is recorded as goodwill. If the fair value attributable to the Company’s share of the identifiable net assets exceeds the cost of acquisition, the difference is recognized as a gain in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Should the consideration be contingent on future events, the cost of the acquisition recorded includes management’s best estimate of the fair value of the contingent amounts expected to be payable. Provisional fair values allocated at the reporting date are finalized within one year of the acquisition date with retroactive restatement to the acquisition date as required.
Transaction costs, other than those associated with the issue of debt or equity securities, which the Company incurs in connection with a business combination, are expensed as incurred.
Foreign currency translation
Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the financial statements of each of the group's entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (“the functional currency”). The consolidated financial statements are presented in United States dollars, which is the Company’s presentation currency. The Company’s mining operations operate within an economic environment where the functional currency is the United States dollar. References to "$" or "US$" are to United States dollars, while references to "Cdn. $" are to Canadian dollars.
Transactions and balances
Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the United States dollar as follows:
•Monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the rates of exchange at the Consolidated Balance Sheet date;
| | |
| B2GOLD CORP. |
| NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
December 31, 2025 and 2024 |
| (All tabular amounts are in thousands of United States dollars unless otherwise stated) |
|
•Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at historical exchange rates prevailing at each transaction date;
•Revenue and expenses are translated at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction, except depreciation, depletion and amortization, which are translated at historical exchange rates, and share-based compensation expense, which is translated at the rates of exchange applicable at the date of grant of the share-based compensation; and
•Exchange gains and losses on translation are included in earnings. When the gain or loss on certain non-monetary items, such as long-term investments classified as fair value through other comprehensive income (“OCI”) is recognized in OCI, the translation differences are also recognized in OCI.
Group companies
For any subsidiaries or joint ventures whose functional currency differs from the United States dollar, balances and transactions are translated into the United States dollar as follows:
•Assets and liabilities are translated at the rates of exchange at the Consolidated Balance Sheet date;
•Revenue and expenses are translated at average exchange rates throughout the reporting period or at rates that approximate the actual exchange rates; items such as depreciation are translated at the monthly average exchange rate; and
•Exchange gains and losses on translation are included in OCI.
The exchange gains and losses are recognized in earnings upon the substantial disposition, liquidation or closure of the entity that gave rise to such amounts.
Financial instruments
The Company recognizes financial assets and liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet when the Company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held with banks, and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. For an investment to qualify as a cash equivalent it must be readily convertible to a known amount of cash and be subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Cash and cash equivalents are classified as financial assets and subsequently measured at amortized cost.
Receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities
Receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities are non-interest bearing. Receivable are classified as financial assets and accounts payable and accrued liabilities are classified as financial liabilities. They are initially measured at fair value and subsequently recorded at amortized cost, which approximates fair value due to the short term to maturity. Receivable are net of expected credit losses.
Long-term investments
Equity investments in entities that are not subsidiaries, joint ventures or investments in associates are classified as fair value through profit and loss ("FVTPL") unless they are irrevocably designated, on an individual basis, as fair value through other comprehensive income ("FVOCI"). These investments are measured at fair value on acquisition and at each reporting date. Any unrealized holding gains and losses related to long-term investments designated as FVOCI are excluded from net earnings and are included in OCI. Upon disposal, any accumulated gains and losses remain in equity.
Lease liabilities
Lease liabilities are interest bearing and are initially measured at the present value of future payments and subsequently recorded at amortized cost.

Debt
The Company initially recognizes all financial liabilities at fair value and classifies them as subsequently measured at either FVTPL or amortized cost, as appropriate. For debt subsequently measured at amortized cost, the effective interest rate method is used. Debt classified as FVTPL is measured at fair value on each financial period-end date with gains and losses flowing through the Consolidated Statement of Operations. For debt that is optionally classified as FVTPL, the part of the fair value change related to the Company’s own credit risk is recorded in OCI rather than the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Components of compound financial instruments are separately classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument. The financial liability is initially recognized at fair value, net of an allocation of issuance costs, and is subsequently measured at amortized cost. The equity component is initially measured based on the residual amount, net of an allocation of issuance costs, and is not subsequently remeasured.
Derivative instruments
Derivative instruments, including embedded derivatives, are recorded at FVTPL and accordingly recorded at fair value on the Consolidated Balance Sheet with changes in the fair value being recognized as gains or losses in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. Fair values for derivative instruments are determined using valuation techniques, using assumptions based on market conditions existing at the balance sheet date.
Impairment of financial assets held at amortized cost
At each reporting date, the Company measures the loss allowance for financial assets held at amortized cost at an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses if the credit risk on the financial assets has increased significantly since initial recognition. If at the reporting date, the credit risk on the financial assets has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the Company measures the loss allowances for the financial assets at an amount equal to twelve month expected credit losses.
Derecognition of financial assets
Financial assets are derecognized when the investments mature or are sold, and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred. Gains and losses on derecognition of financial assets classified as FVTPL or amortized cost are recognized within other non-operating income. Accumulated gains or losses on financial assets classified as FVOCI remain within accumulated other comprehensive income.
Inventories
Gold and silver bullion, in-process and stockpile inventories are recorded at the lower of average cost and net realizable value. The cost of finished goods and work-in-progress comprises raw materials, direct labour, and other direct costs, as well as stripping in the production stage and related production overheads (based on normal operating capacity) including applicable depreciation on property, plant and equipment. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price less applicable selling expenses and cost to complete.
Silver production is considered a by-product at all the Company's mines. As a result, silver inventory is measured at its fair market value with an offsetting credit to production cost.
When inventories have been written down to net realizable value, a new assessment of net realizable value is made in each subsequent period. If the circumstances that caused the write down no longer exist, the amount of the write down on inventory not yet sold is reversed.
Materials and supplies inventories are valued at the lower of average cost and net realizable value. Cost includes acquisition, freight and other directly attributable costs.
Mining interests
Mining interests include mineral properties, buildings, plant and equipment, construction-in-progress (including mine development costs), deferred stripping, underground development, exploration and evaluation assets, capitalized borrowing costs, and impairment.

|
Mineral properties
Mineral properties (including mine development costs) are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. When production commences, these costs are amortized using the units-of-production ("UOP") method, based on the estimated recoverable ounces.
Capitalization of mine development costs to construction-in-progress ceases when the mine is capable of operating in the manner intended by management. The Company applies judgement in its assessment of when a mine is capable of operating in the manner intended by management, which takes account of the design of the mine and the nature of the initial commissioning phase of the mine.
For ounces sold during the commissioning phase, the proceeds from the sale are recognized as revenue and the cost of the ounces produced as a production cost in the, in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Non-recoverable costs for projects determined not to be commercially feasible are expensed in the period in which the determination is made or when the carrying value of the project is determined to be impaired.
Deferred stripping
Deferred stripping costs are included as a component of mineral property costs. Stripping costs incurred during the production phase of a mine are considered production costs and are included in the cost of inventory produced during the period in which stripping costs are incurred, unless the stripping activity can be shown to be a betterment of the mineral property. Betterment occurs when stripping activity increases future output of the mine by providing access to additional reserves. Stripping costs incurred to provide access to the ore body for extraction are capitalized as mineral property costs and are amortized on a UOP basis over the reserves and resources to which they relate.
Underground mine development costs
Underground development costs are included as a component of mineral property costs. Underground development costs incurred to build new shafts, drifts and ramps to provide access to underground ore. Underground development costs are capitalized as incurred and are amortized on a UOP basis over the reserves and resources to which they relate or on a straight-line basis over the life of the underground mine.
Construction-in-progress
Qualifying assets in the course of construction are capitalized as construction-in-process until the asset is substantially complete and ready for its intended use, at which time, it is transferred to the appropriate category of mineral property or buildings, plant and equipment and depreciation commences.
Buildings, plant and equipment
Buildings, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Repairs and maintenance expenditures are charged to operating costs; major improvements and replacements which extend the useful life of an asset are capitalized to the cost of the asset. Buildings, plant and equipment are amortized over the life of the mine using the UOP method based on the recoverable ounces from the estimated proven and probable reserves and a portion of the measured and indicated resources that are reasonably expected to be converted to proven and probable reserves. Mobile equipment, tailings dams and other equipment are depreciated on a straight-line basis over two to nine years as appropriate, net of residual value. The Company allocates the amount initially recognized in respect of an item of buildings, plant and equipment to its significant components and depreciates separately each component part. Residual values, method of amortization and useful lives of the assets are reviewed annually and adjusted if appropriate.
Exploration and evaluation assets
The Company defers the cost of acquiring, maintaining its interest in, exploring and evaluating a mineral property as exploration and evaluation until a decision to construct, abandon or sell the property is made. Once the technical feasibility and commercial viability of the extraction of mineral reserves or resources from a particular mineral property has been determined, exploration and evaluation expenditures are reclassified to “mineral property costs”. If no mineable ore body is discovered, such costs are expensed in the period in which it is determined the property has no future economic value. Exploration costs that do not relate to any specific property are expensed as incurred.

| B2GOLD CORP. |
| NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
December 31, 2025 and 2024 |
| (All tabular amounts are in thousands of United States dollars unless otherwise stated) |
|
The establishment of technical feasibility and commercial viability of a mineral property is assessed based on a combination of factors, such as but not limited to:
•The extent to which mineral reserves or mineral resources have been identified through a feasibility study or similar level document;
•The results of optimization studies and further technical evaluation carried out to mitigate project risks identified in the feasibility study;
•The status of environmental permits; and
•The status of mining leases or permits.
In addition, commercial viability is deemed to be achieved when the Company determines that the project will provide a satisfactory return relative to its perceived risks. Ore reserves and resources may be declared for an undeveloped mining project before its commercial viability has been fully determined. Evaluation costs may continue to be capitalized during the period between declaration of reserves and approval to mine as further work is undertaken in order to refine the development case to maximize the project’s returns.
Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs attributable to the construction of qualifying assets, which take a substantial period of time to make ready for their intended use, are added to the cost of the assets until such time as the assets are substantially complete and ready for their intended use. The amount of borrowing costs capitalized cannot exceed the actual amount of borrowing costs incurred in a period. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.
Impairment and reversals of impairment
The carrying amounts of long-lived assets are tested for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. If there are indicators of impairment, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount and is recorded as an expense in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s “fair value less costs of disposal” ("FVLCD") and “value-in-use”. Where the asset does not generate cash flows that are independent from other assets, the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit ("CGU") to which the asset belongs is determined. FVLCD is determined as the amount that would be obtained from the sale of the asset less costs of disposal in an arm’s length transaction between knowledgeable and willing parties. For mining assets this would generally be determined based on the present value of the estimated future cash flows arising from the continued development, use or eventual disposal of the asset. In assessing these cash flows and discounting them to the present value, assumptions used are those that an independent market participant would consider appropriate. In assessing “value-in-use”, the estimated future cash flows expected to arise from the continuing use of the assets in their present form and from their disposal are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and risks specific to the asset.
Impairment losses are evaluated for potential reversals when events or circumstances warrant such consideration. Where an impairment loss is subsequently reversed, the amount of such reversal is limited such that the revised carrying amount of the asset or CGU does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset or CGU in the prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized into earnings immediately.
Leases
At the inception of a contract, to determine if it contains a lease, the Company assesses whether it conveys the right to control and obtain substantially all of the economic benefits of an identified asset, for a period of time, in exchange for consideration. Where a contract contains a lease, the Company recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the commencement date of the lease.
The right-of-use asset is measured at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses and may be adjusted for any remeasurement of the lease liability. Cost is the amount of the initial lease liability plus any initial direct costs incurred and any lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any incentives received.
The right-of-use assets are included in the cost of property, plant and equipment for the associated mining interest on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. They are depreciated, in accordance with the Company's existing accounting policy, over the shorter of the lease term or the life of the asset.

| B2GOLD CORP. |
| NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
December 31, 2025 and 2024 |
| (All tabular amounts are in thousands of United States dollars unless otherwise stated) |
|
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of future lease payments discounted at the interest rate implicit in the contract. If the implicit rate cannot be determined, the incremental borrowing rate over a similar term and with similar security for the funds necessary to obtain an asset of similar value in a similar economic environment is used. The lease payments include fixed payments less any incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or rate and amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees. Where the lease contains an extension or purchase option, the costs associated with the option are included if it is reasonably expected to be exercised by the Company.
Thereafter, the amount of the lease liability is increased to reflect the accretion of interest and reduced for the lease payments made. In addition, the carrying amount of the lease liability is remeasured to reflect any modifications to the contract terms. Lease liabilities are presented as a component of debt on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
The Company has elected not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for contracts that have a lease term of 12 months or less or are for the use of low value assets. These contracts are recognized as an expense in the Consolidated Statement of Operations in the period the cost is incurred. In addition, for certain asset classes, the Company has elected to treat both lease and non-lease components as a single lease component for the purposes of applying IFRS 16, Leases.
Mine restoration provisions
Future obligations to retire an asset including dismantling, removal from site where required, remediation, on-going treatment, monitoring and other site closure activities are initially recognized and recorded as a liability based on estimated future cash flows discounted at a risk free rate. The measurement determination is based on estimated future cash flows, the current risk-free discount rate, and an estimated inflation factor. The value of restoration provisions is adjusted at each reporting period for changes to factors including the expected amount of cash flows required to discharge the liability, the timing of such cash flows and the risk-free interest rate. The liability is added to the carrying amount of the associated asset, and this additional carrying amount is depreciated over the life of the asset. The liability is accreted to full value over time through periodic charges to earnings. This unwinding of the discount is expensed in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. As reclamation work is performed or liabilities are otherwise settled, the recorded amount of the liability is reduced.
Share capital
Equity instruments issued by the Company are recorded at the amount of proceeds received, net of any directly attributable transaction costs. When the Company repurchases its own equity instruments, the consideration paid is recognized directly as a deduction from equity. Transactions involving the Company’s own equity instruments, whether purchases, sales, or cancellations, do not result in gains or losses being recognized in profit or loss. Similarly, no gain or loss is recognized on the issuance of the Company’s own equity instruments, except when equity instruments are issued to settle an existing liability.
Share-based payments
The cost of stock options and other equity-settled share-based payment arrangements, including restricted share units and performance share units, is recorded based on the estimated fair-value at the grant date and charged to earnings over the vesting period.
The Company grants stock options to certain employees and directors. Each tranche is considered a separate award with its own vesting period and grant date fair value. The fair value of each tranche is measured at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Compensation expense is recognized over the tranche’s vesting period by a charge to earnings, with a corresponding increase to contributed surplus based on the number of awards expected to vest. The number of awards expected to vest is reviewed at least annually, with any impact being recognized immediately.
The Company grants performance share units to certain officers and employees. Each tranche is considered a separate award with its own vesting period and grant date fair value. The portion of performance share units related to market conditions are recorded at fair value at the date of grant using a risk neutral Monte Carlo simulation based on a correlated Geometric Brownian Motion and the portion related to non-market vesting conditions are recorded at the market value of the shares at the date of grant. Compensation expense is recognized over the tranche’s vesting period by a charge to earnings, with a corresponding increase to contributed surplus based on the number of awards expected to vest for non-market vesting conditions. Non-market vesting conditions are reviewed at least annually, with any impact being recognized immediately.

The Company grants restricted share units to directors, certain officers and employees. Each tranche is considered a separate award with its own vesting period and grant date fair value. The fair value of each tranche is measured at issuance date based on the fair value using the market value of the underlying shares on the date of issuance. Compensation expense is recognized over the tranche’s vesting period by a charge to earnings, with a corresponding increase to contributed surplus.
Cash settled share-based payment arrangements, including deferred share units and restricted phantom units are measured at fair value using the market value of the underlying shares on the date of issuance. The liability is then remeasured at market value on each reporting date until settlement with any gains or losses flowing through share-based payments expense.
Current and deferred income taxes
Income tax comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax is recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Operations except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly in equity, in which case the income tax is also recognized directly in equity. Taxes on income in interim periods are recorded using the tax rate that would be applicable to expected annual profit.
Current tax is the expected tax payable on taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted, at the end of the reporting period.
Payments to governments arising due to specific legislation or separate negotiation with the local authorities in the countries the Company operates are assessed to determine whether they are in the scope of IAS 12, Income taxes. Those that are based on measures of profit earned are assessed to be in scope of IAS 12, while those calculated on sales or production are recorded as an operating expense.
For the Fekola Mine, income taxes in Mali are assessed on a mine-specific basis determined by the respective Mining Code and Convention. As the profit measure used to calculate State of Mali’s preferred share interest is determined to be revenue less costs as defined by the relevant legislation, which is the 2012 Mining Code, the 2023 Mining code and the Fekola Mining Convention, this arrangement is determined to be a tax on income and not an operating cost or profit sharing interest and, therefore, in the scope of IAS 12.
The Company uses judgment in determining whether payments arising due to specific legislation or separate negotiation with the relevant authorities are in scope of IAS 12.
Deferred tax is recognized in respect of temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Deferred income tax is determined on a non-discounted basis using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the deferred tax asset or liability is reversed. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that the assets can be recovered.
Deferred income tax is provided on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries and associates, except, in the case of subsidiaries, where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by the Company and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. As an exception, deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognized if the temporary differences arise from the initial recognition of goodwill, or an asset or liability in a transaction (other than in a business combination) that affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are presented as non-current.
Revenue
Gold revenue is recognized when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company, delivery has occurred, the sales price is reasonably determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. These criteria are generally met at the time the product is delivered to the customer and, depending on the delivery conditions, title and the risks and rewards of ownership have passed to the customer and acceptance of the product, when contractually required, has been obtained. Gold revenue is measured based on the price specified in the sales contract at the time of the sale.

Prepaid gold sales are recognized as deferred revenue on the Consolidated Balance Sheet and recognized as revenue in the Consolidated Statement of Operations when control transfers to the customer upon delivery of gold. The contract price is considered to contain a significant financing component given the long-term nature of the upfront payment and the period of time between the receipt of the upfront cash and the transfer of control of the product. This will result in recognition of an interest charge on the upfront amount that increases the future revenue to be recognized.
Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net income for the year attributable to shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year.
Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution from common share equivalents on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year if the resulting shares would be dilutive. For stock options, the potential dilutive impact is calculated using the treasury share method whereby all “in-the-money” options are assumed to have been exercised at the beginning of the year and the proceeds from the exercise are assumed to have been used to purchase common shares at the average market price during the period.
5Significant accounting judgements and estimates
The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires judgements and estimates that affect the amounts reported. Those judgements and estimates concerning the future may differ from actual results. The following are the areas of accounting policy judgement and accounting estimates applied by management that most significantly affect the Company’s financial statements, including those areas of estimation uncertainty that could result in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.
Areas of judgement
Assessment of impairment and reversal of impairment indicators for long-lived assets
The Company applies significant judgement in assessing whether there are indicators of impairment, or the reversal of previously recorded impairment, present that give rise to the requirement to conduct an impairment test. Internal and external factors such as significant changes in the use of an asset, legal and permitting factors, future gold prices, operating and capital cost forecasts, quantities of mineral reserves and resources, and movements in market interest rates are used by the Company in determining whether there are any indicators of impairment or reversal of impairment.
During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company identified indicators of impairment on the Fekola Complex CGU, consisting of the Fekola Mine and Fekola Regional Properties, and the Goose Mine CGU. As a result, these assets were tested for impairment (Note 9).
During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company performed an assessment of impairment indicators, as well as indicators for reversal of previously recorded impairment losses. Where a CGUs had been previously impaired, the Company considered whether the impairment losses no longer exist or might have decreased. This assessment considered general and specific factors and concluded that, although the current spot price of gold has increased from the time that impairment losses had been recognized, taking into consideration specific circumstances of each asset, there is no indicator that the impairment reversed. For the Fekola Complex CGU, the delay in steps necessary to produce gold from the Fekola Regional permits, including receipt of the mining permit, creates uncertainty as to the extent to which the Company may realize the full benefit of any increases in the long-term gold price. For the Goose Mine, the Company determined that the mine had achieved commercial production on October 2, 2025. However, an engineering study, and associated procurement and logistics plan, is required to implement modifications to the crushing circuit before the Goose Mine can continue to ramp-up and ultimately operate at its name-plate capacity, as intended.
Uncertain tax positions
The Company’s operations involve the application of complex tax regulations in multiple international jurisdictions. Determining the tax treatment of a transaction requires the Company to apply judgement in its interpretation of the applicable tax law. These positions are not final until accepted by the relevant tax authority. The tax treatment may change based on the result of assessments or audits by the tax authorities often years after the initial filing.
The Company recognizes and records potential liabilities for uncertain tax positions based on its assessment of the amount, or range of amounts, of tax that will be due. The Company adjusts these accruals as new information becomes available.

Due to the complexity and uncertainty associated with certain tax treatments, the ultimate resolution could result in a payment that is materially different from the Company’s current estimate of the tax liabilities.
Capitalization of exploration and evaluation expenditures
The application of the Company’s accounting policy for capitalization of exploration and evaluation expenditures requires judgement in determining whether the future economic benefit is likely, either through future exploitation or sale, where properties have not reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence of reserves. The deferral policy requires management to make certain judgements about future events or circumstances, in particular whether an economically viable mine can be established. Judgement is applied in the determination of whether any impairment indicators exist at each reporting date giving consideration to factors including mining title expiration dates, budgeted expenditures, discontinuation of activities in any area, and evaluation of any data which would indicate that the carrying amount of exploration and evaluation assets is not recoverable. If new information becomes available suggesting that the recovery of the carrying amount of exploration and evaluation assets is unlikely, the amount capitalized is written off in the Consolidated Statement of Operations in the period when the new information becomes available.
Determination of control or significant influence over investees
The assessment of whether the Company has a significant influence or control over an investee requires the application of judgement when assessing factors that could give rise to a significant influence or control. Factors evaluated when making a judgement of control or significant influence over an investee include, but are not limited to, ownership percentage, representation on the board of directors, participation in the policy-making process, material transactions and contractual arrangements between the Company and the investee, interchange of managerial personnel, provision of essential technical information and potential voting rights. In evaluating these factors, the Company determines the level of influence over the investee the Company has. Changes in the Company's assessment of the factors used in determining if control or significant influence exists over an investee would impact the accounting treatment of the investment in the investee.
Sources of estimation uncertainty
Fair value of financial instruments
The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market are determined using valuation techniques. In determining the fair value of the gold stream obligation (Note 18), the Company makes significant assumptions that are based on the underlying models and the market conditions existing at both initial recognition and the end of each reporting period.
Mineral reserve and resource estimates
Mineral reserves are estimates of the amount of ore that can be economically and legally extracted from the Company’s mining properties. The Company estimates its mineral reserves and mineral resources based on information compiled by appropriately qualified persons relating to the geological data on the size, depth and shape of the ore body, and requires complex geological assessments to interpret the data. The estimation of recoverable mineral reserves and mineral resources is based upon factors such as estimates of foreign exchange rates, commodity prices, future capital requirements, metallurgical recoveries, permitting and production costs along with geological assumptions made in estimating the size, and grade of the ore body. Changes in the mineral reserve or mineral resource estimates may impact the carrying value of mining interests, mine restoration provisions, the gold stream obligation, recognition of deferred tax assets, depreciation and amortization charges and royalty obligations.
Impairment of long-lived assets
Long-lived assets are tested for impairment, or reversal of a previous impairment, if there is an indicator of impairment or a subsequent reversal (Note 9). Calculating the estimated recoverable amount of CGUs for long-lived asset requires management to make estimates and assumptions that include such factors as mineable mineralization including reserves and resources, future production levels, operating and capital costs, application of royalty, income tax and mining tax rates, future metal prices and discount rates. Changes in any of these assumptions or estimates used in determining the recoverable amount could impact the analysis. Such changes could be material.

Value-added tax receivables
The Company incurs indirect taxes, including value-added tax, on purchases of goods and services at its operating mines and development projects. Indirect tax balances are recorded at their estimated recoverable amounts within current or long-term assets, net of provisions, and reflect the Company’s best estimate of their recoverability under existing tax rules in the respective jurisdictions in which they arise. Management’s assessment of recoverability considers the probable outcomes of claimed deductions and/or disputes. The provisions and balance sheet classifications made to date may be subject to change and such change may be material.
Long-term value-added tax receivables includes amounts for the Fekola Mine of $244 million (2024 - $214 million), for the Masbate Mine of $11 million (2024 – $13 million), and for the Gramalote Project of $22 million (2024 - $17 million).
Current and deferred income taxes
The Company is periodically required to estimate the tax basis of assets and liabilities. Where applicable tax laws and regulations are either unclear or subject to varying interpretations, it is possible that changes in these estimates could occur that materially affect the amounts of deferred income tax assets and liabilities recorded in the financial statements. Changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities generally have a direct impact on earnings in the period that the changes occur.
Each period, the Company evaluates the likelihood of whether some portion or all of each deferred tax asset will not be realized. This evaluation is based on historic and future expected levels of taxable income and the associated repatriation of retained earnings, the pattern and timing of reversals of taxable temporary timing differences that give rise to deferred tax liabilities, and tax planning initiatives. Levels of future taxable income are affected by, among other things, metal prices, production costs, quantities of proven and probable gold reserves, interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. The availability of retained earnings for distribution depends on future levels of taxable income as well as future reclamation expenditures, capital expenditures, dividends and other uses of available cash flow.

Goose Mine
On October 2, 2025, management determined that the Goose Mine achieved commercial production. In connection with this transition, construction-in-progress was transferred to buildings, plant and equipment and mineral properties, the Company ceased capitalizing borrowing costs and depletion and depreciation of the Goose Mine assets commenced.
Otjikoto Mine
During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company wrote off components of the mineral properties related to open pit mining activities at the Otjikoto Mine with a net book value of $nil million (cost of $284 million less accumulated depreciation of $284 million). With the conclusion of the open pit mining operations at the Otjikoto Mine, no future economic benefit is expected to be conferred from these assets.
Impairment of the Goose Mine CGU
During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company completed an updated construction cost estimate for the Goose Mine. The updated estimate, which showed a significant increase in the expected construction cost to complete, was determined to be an indicator of impairment for the Goose Mine assets. The Company’s analysis concluded that the Goose Mine CGU was impaired resulting in an impairment charge of $661 million recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Operations during the year ended December 31, 2024.

Impairment of the Fekola Complex CGU
During the year ended December 31, 2023, the State of Mali (the "State") introduced a new mining code (the “2023 Mining Code”) and related Local Content Law. In July 2024, the accompanying Implementation Decrees, which clarify how the provisions of the 2023 Mining Code and Local Content Law should be applied, were enacted into law. The Company’s analysis concluded that the Fekola Complex CGU was impaired resulting in an impairment of $215 million. A net impairment charge of $194 million after taking into account a deferred income tax recovery of $21 million was recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2024. On September 11, 2024, the Company reached a Memorandum of Understanding (the "Agreement") with the State which covers the ongoing operation and governance of the Fekola Complex as well as the settlement of existing income tax, customs and other regulatory disputes covering the period 2016 to December 31, 2023 and the distribution of dividends attributed to the State of Mali up to December 31, 2023.
Principal terms of the agreement:
•Settlement of income tax and customs assessments for the period from 2016 through 2023 of $70 million. An expense of $67 million (net of previous accruals) was recorded as an income tax expense in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2024;
•Settlement of other regulatory disputes related to the timing of repatriation of funds of $17 million. This amount was paid upon signing of the Agreement and was recorded in Other Expense in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2024;
•Distribution of retained earnings of $107 million attributed to the State of Mali's non-controlling interest from its 10% ordinary share ownership in the Fekola Mine up to December 31, 2023. The ordinary dividend was paid during the year ended December 31, 2024;
•Upon completion of certain conditions precedent, the State of Mali's 10% ordinary share interest in Fekola was converted into a 10% preferred share interest. The rights of the additional preferred share interest are consistent with the State of Mali's 10% free carried interest including priority dividend rights, therefore, this is accounted for as an income tax under IAS 12 Income taxes; and
•In addition to the above, the Company forgave the principal and accrued interest balance outstanding totalling $69 million on the loan made to the State for the purchase of their 10% ordinary share ownership. This was recorded within Equity on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
Versamet transaction
On June 5, 2024, the Company entered into a purchase and sale agreement (the "Versamet Agreement") to sell a portfolio of ten metal royalties (the "Royalties") to Versamet in exchange for 122 million Versamet shares at Cdn. $0.80 per share for proceeds of $71 million. Upon completion of the second tranche, on August 13, 2024, the Company received 17 million Versamet shares at Cdn. $0.80 per share for proceeds of $10 million. The Company recorded a $49 million gain on sale of mining interests in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2024
Other
During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company wrote-off $5 million (2024 - $1 million) relating to non-core properties that it no longer plans to proceed with.
During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company sold a royalty on the Quebradona Property in Colombia, with no book value, to the owner of the property for proceeds of $7.5 million. This amount was recorded as a Gain on Sale of Mining Interests in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year.
As at December 31, 2025 the Company had leased assets of $55 million (2024 - $35 million) under IFRS 16.

Convertible senior unsecured notes
On January 28, 2025, the Company issued convertible senior unsecured notes (“the Notes”) with an aggregate principal amount of $460 million for cash proceeds of $446 million net of financing costs of $14 million. The notes bear interest at a rate of 2.75% per annum, payable semi-annually on February 1st and August 1st of each year commencing from August 1,
| | |

| NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
December 31, 2025 and 2024 |
| (All tabular amounts are in thousands of United States dollars unless otherwise stated) |
|
2025. The Notes mature on February 1, 2030. The initial conversion rate for the Notes is 315.2088 common shares of the Company per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $3.17 per share.
The initial conversion rate is subject to adjustment in certain events. In addition, if certain fundamental changes occur, including a change in control or upon notice of redemption by the Company as described below, the holders may elect to convert the Notes. In the event of a fundamental change, the holders may elect to convert any outstanding Notes at a cash purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest.
A fundamental change includes the following occurrences:
•A change in control where a person or group becomes the beneficial owner of more than 50% of our voting stock or gains the power to elect a majority of our board of directors.
•The consummation of significant transactions such as certain mergers or consolidations pursuant to which our common shares will be converted or exchanged for cash, securities or other property, or sales of substantially all our assets that change the corporate structure or ownership.
•Approval by our shareholders of any plan for liquidation or dissolution.
Prior to February 7, 2028, the Company may not redeem the Notes except in the event of certain changes in Canadian tax law. At any time on or after February 7, 2028, and until maturity, the Company may redeem all or part of the Notes for cash if the price of the Company’s common shares for at least 20 trading days in a period of 30 consecutive trading days, ending on the trading day prior to the date of notice of redemption, exceeds 130% of the conversion price in effect on each such day. The redemption price is equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest. This option was not separated as it is considered closely related to the underlying instrument. If the Company redeems the Notes, the initial conversion ratio could be adjusted.
The Notes are the Company's senior unsecured obligations and rank equally with all existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness. The Notes are effectively unsecured to all of the Company's existing and future secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such indebtedness. The Notes are structurally unsecured to all existing and future liabilities, including trade payables, of the Company's subsidiaries.
The Company exercised judgement in determining whether the conversion feature represented a contract that could be settled by the Company delivering a fixed number of its own equity instruments, in exchange for a fixed amount of consideration, taking into consideration potential adjustments to the initial conversion ratio. The Company determined that the Notes are compound financial instruments consisting of a financial liability, and a conversion option that is classified as equity. Of the gross proceeds of $460 million, $365 million was allocated to the liability component, representing the fair value of the liability component on initial recognition, calculated as the present value of the contractual principal and interest payments over the term of the Notes using a discount rate of 7.8%. Total financing costs of $14 million were allocated to the liability and equity components in proportion to the allocation of the gross proceeds, with $11 million allocated to the liability and $3 million allocated to equity. The net liability of $354 million ($365 million net of $11 million of financing costs) will be accreted to the face value of the Notes over the term to maturity using the effective interest method with an effective interest rate of 8.5%.
The equity component, representing the holders’ conversion option, was allocated the residual amount of $95 million. The net amount recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity at December 31, 2025, was $67 million calculated as $95 million option valuation less $3 million of allocated financing costs and a deferred tax charge of $25 million for the taxable temporary difference arising from the difference between the initial carrying amount of the liability component of the Notes and the tax base.
In connection with the Notes, the Company entered into a cash settled total return swap with one of the initial purchasers of the Notes for common shares of the Company with a total value of $50 million. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company settled the total return swap for a gain of $8 million. This gain was recorded as part of Losses on derivative instruments in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Revolving credit facilities
On December 17, 2024, the Company entered into a new revised revolving credit facility ("new RCF") agreement with a syndicate of banks. The maximum available for drawdown under the facility is $800 million with an accordion feature, available on the receipt of additional binding commitments, for a further $200 million.
Drawdowns on the new RCF can be in either United States or Canadian dollars. The new RCF bears interest on a sliding scale based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) or the Canadian Overnight Repo Rate Average ("CORRA") plus term credit spread adjustment in addition to a sliding scale premium between 1.88% to 2.50% based on the Company's net leverage ratio. Commitment fees for the undrawn portion of the facility are also on a sliding scale basis between 0.42%

|
and 0.563% based on the Company's net leverage ratio. The term of the new RCF is four years, maturing on December 17, 2028. Transaction costs on the new RCF of $8 million are amortized over the facility term.
The Company has provided security on the new RCF in the form of a general security interest over the Company’s assets and pledges, creating a charge over the shares of certain of the Company’s direct and indirect subsidiaries. In connection with the new RCF, the Company must also maintain an interest coverage ratio greater than or equal to 3:1 for any fiscal quarter and a leverage ratio of less than 3.5:1 for any fiscal quarter. As at December 31, 2025, the Company was in compliance with these debt covenants. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company paid outstanding financing costs of $4 million on the new RCF.
Pursuant to the terms of the new RCF, the Company implemented a gold collar hedging program structured to achieve a minimum cumulative financial settlement of $220 million relative to an assumed refined gold market price of $1,750 per ounce and 20% of the Company's forecasted production volumes for fiscal years 2025 and 2026 per the most recent life-of-mine plan consolidated projected gold production and shall maintain such gold hedging program (allowing, however, for the wind down of the program in the ordinary course) until the earlier of (i) the date such hedging program has achieved a minimum cumulative financial settlement of $220 million and December 31, 2026 (Note 17).
Upon entering into the new RCF, the Company transferred the $400 million outstanding balance from its old RCF. The old RCF bore interest on a sliding scale based on SOFR plus term credit spread adjustment in addition to a sliding scale premium between 2.00% to 2.50%. Commitment fees for the undrawn portion of the old RCF were between 0.450% and 0.563%. Unamortized transaction costs on the old RCF of 4 million were written off as financing expense in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2024.
During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company drew down $200 million and repaid $450 million on the new RCF. As at December 31, 2025, the Company had $650 million available for future draw downs.
Subsequent to December 31, 2025, the Company repaid $100 million on the new RCF.
Fekola equipment loan facilities
During 2016, the Company entered into a Euro 71 million term equipment facility (the "first equipment facility") with Caterpillar Financial SARL, as Mandated Lead Arranger, and Caterpillar Financial Services Corporation, as original lender. The aggregate principal amount of up to Euro 71 million was available to the Company’s subsidiary, Fekola SA (the “Borrower”) to finance or refinance the mining fleet and other mining equipment at the Fekola Mine and was fully utilized. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Borrower fully repaid the first equipment facility.
On September 29, 2020, the Company entered into a second term equipment facility (the "second equipment facility") with Caterpillar Financial Services Corporation for aggregate principal amount of up to the Euro equivalent of $40 million. The second equipment facility was available to the Borrower to finance or refinance up to 75% of the cost of the mining fleet and other mining equipment at the Fekola Mine. On October 26, 2020, the Borrower drew down the entire amount under the new equipment facility for proceeds of Euro 36 million.
On December 9, 2024, the Company entered into a third term equipment facility (the "third equipment facility") with Caterpillar Financial Services Corporation for aggregate principal amount of up to the Euro equivalent of $35 million. The third equipment facility is available to the Borrower to finance or refinance a specified percentage of the cost of spare parts, mining fleet and other mining equipment at the Fekola Mine. As at December 31, 2025, the Borrower has drawn down the $29 million under the third equipment facility. The Borrower has until March 31, 2026 to draw under this facility.
Each equipment loan under the Fekola equipment facilities is repayable in 20 equal quarterly installments except for loans financing the cost of spare parts which are repayable in 16 equal installments. The final repayment date shall be five years or four years, respectively, from the first disbursement under each equipment loan. The interest rate on each loan is a rate per annum equal to the Euro Interbank Offer Rate ("EURIBOR") plus a margin of 4.25% for existing equipment and EURIBOR plus a margin of 3.25% for other loans. The Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Mali Mining Investments Limited, have guaranteed the second equipment facility and security is given over the equipment of the Borrower which has been financed by the second and third equipment facility, related warranty and insurance.
In connection with the Fekola equipment loan facilities, the Company must also maintain an interest coverage ratio greater than or equal to 3:1 for any fiscal quarter and a leverage ratio of less than 3.5:1 for any fiscal quarter.

13Mine restoration provisions
The Company’s mine restoration provisions consist primarily of costs associated with mine reclamation and closure activities. These activities, which are site specific, generally include costs for earthworks, including detoxification and recontouring, revegetation, water treatment, demolition and removal of items from site where required. In calculating the present value of the Company’s mine restoration provisions as at December 31, 2025, management used a risk-free rate applicable to each location’s functional currency ranging from 4.12% to 4.28% and a long-term inflation rate of 2.2%. The undiscounted cash flows, before inflation adjustments to settle the mine restoration provisions were estimated at approximately $200 million at December 31, 2025 (2024 - $187 million). Due to the nature of mine closure plans, cash expenditures are expected to occur over a significant period of time with the majority of the expenditures expected to occur in the years from 2033 to 2039.
The following table shows the movement in the provision for mine restoration provisions:

During 2025, the Company received $66 million (2024 - $3 million) pursuant to the exercise of 20 million (2024 – 1 million) stock options.
Stock options
During the year ended December 31, 2025, 4 million stock options were granted to employees with exercise prices ranging from Cdn. $3.85 to Cdn. $6.19 per share. These stock options have a term of up to five years and vest over a period of up to three years. The estimated fair value when granted of these options totalling $3 million is being recognized over the vesting period. The fair value was calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model based on a risk-free annual interest rate of up to 2.8%, an expected life of up to 3 years, an expected volatility of up to 40% and a dividend yield rate of up to 3.0%.
During 2024, approximately 22 million stock options were granted to employees and directors with exercise prices ranging from Cdn. $3.48 to Cdn. $4.40 per share. These stock options have a term of up to five years and vest over a period of up to three years. The estimated fair value when granted of these options totalling $11 million is being recognized over the vesting period. The fair value was calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model based on a risk-free annual interest rate of up to 3.8%, an expected life of up to 3 years, an expected volatility of up to 38% and a dividend yield rate of up to 6.2%.
Option pricing models require the input of subjective assumptions regarding the expected volatility. The Company calculates expected volatility based on the historical volatility of its stock price. Changes in this assumption can materially affect the fair value estimate.
For the year ended December 31, 2025, share-based payments expense, relating to the vesting of stock options, was $5 million (2024 - $5 million), net of $1 million (2024 - $1 million) capitalized to mining interests.

Restricted share unit plan
The Company has a Restricted Share Unit Plan (the “RSU Plan”) whereby restricted share units (“RSUs”) may be granted to directors, executive officers and employees of the Company. Once vested, each RSU is redeemable for one common share entitling the holder to receive the common share for no additional consideration.
During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company granted approximately 3 million (2024 – 2 million) RSUs to executive officers and employees of the Company. One-third of the RSUs vest one year from the grant date, another one-third will vest two years from the grant date with the remainder vesting three years from the grant date. The total estimated fair value of the RSU granted was approximately $8 million (2024 - $6 million) based on the market value of the Company’s shares at the grant date. The fair value of each RSU is recorded as a share-based payments expense over the vesting period.
For the year ended December 31, 2025, share-based payments expense relating to the vesting of RSUs was $7 million (2024 - $7 million).

Deferred share unit plan
The Company has a Deferred Share Unit plan (the "DSU plan") for the benefit of the directors of the Company. Pursuant to the plan, eligible directors can elect to receive all or part of their total cash compensation in the form of deferred share units ("DSUs"). The number of DSUs granted to an eligible director is determined by dividing the portion of the compensation to be paid in DSUs by the volume weighted average trading price of the common shares on the stock exchange on which the majority of the volume of trading of the shares occurred over the relevant period for the five trading days immediately preceding the date of grant. In addition, the Board may, at its discretion, grant additional DSUs to plan participants. Each eligible director is required to hold DSUs received until the eligible director ceases to be a director of the Company, following which the DSUs will be settled in cash. As the DSUs are cash settled, they are recorded as a liability at fair market value on the Consolidated Balance Sheet with changes in the fair value being recognized as a share-based payment expense or recovery in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company issued 0.5 million DSUs (2024 - 0.5 million) with a fair market value of $1 million (2024 - $1 million) to directors of the Company. During the year ended December 31, 2025, 0.5 million (2024 - 0.1 million) DSUs valued at $1.8 million (2024 - $0.3 million) were released. As at December 31, 2025, there were 2.2 million DSUs outstanding (2024 - 2.2 million). For the year ended December 31, 2025, share-based payments expense relating to DSUs was $6 million (2024 - expense of $0.1 million). As at December 31, 2025, the Company had an $11 million (2024 - $5 million) liability related to the outstanding DSUs, recorded as part of Other current liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
Performance share unit plan
The Company has a Performance Share Unit plan (the "PSU plan") for the benefit of officers, employees and eligible consultants. Under the plan, eligible participants will receive shares based on the achievement of certain defined performance measures over a defined period of time. The number of shares receivable shall be 0% to 200% of the

|
performance share units ("PSUs") awarded, with the factor applied being dependent on the extent to which the defined performance measures have been achieved.
PSU grants, when vested, can be settled in cash (instead of shares) at the Company’s sole discretion. The cash settlement option does not impact the accounting treatment of the PSUs.
During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company granted 2 million PSUs to employees comprised of two equal 50% tranches. Vesting of tranche one of the PSUs granted will depend on the growth of the Company's free cash flow and the number of shares that may vest will be between 0% to 200% of the number of tranche one PSUs. The estimated fair value when granted of this portion of $3 million was calculated based on the fair value of the Company's stock on the date of the grant and the expected increase in the free cash flow. Vesting of tranche two of the PSUs granted will depend on total shareholder return of the Company compared to a group of peer companies over the period January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2027. The number of shares that may vest will be between 0% and 200% of the number of tranche two PSUs. The estimated fair value when granted of the tranche two PSUs of $4 million was calculated using a risk-neutral Monte Carlo simulation based on a correlated Geometric Brownian Motion. The model used historical share price volatility ranging from 39% to 77% for the group, and a Canadian risk-free annual interest rate of 2.75%. The fair value of both tranches is being recognized over the vesting period.
During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company granted 3 million PSUs to employees comprised of two equal 50% tranches. Vesting of tranche one of the PSUs granted will depend on the growth of the consolidated production profile and the number of shares that may vest will be between 0% to 200% of the number of tranche one PSUs. The estimated fair value when granted of this portion of $3 million was calculated based on the fair value of the Company's stock on the date of the grant and the expected increase in the production profile. Vesting of tranche two of the PSUs granted will depend on total shareholder return of the Company compared to a group of peer companies over the period January 1, 2024 to December 31, 2026. The number of shares that may vest will be between 0% and 200% of the number of tranche two PSUs. The estimated fair value when granted of the tranche two PSUs of $3 million was calculated using a risk-neutral Monte Carlo simulation based on a correlated Geometric Brownian Motion. The model used historical share price volatility ranging from 26% to 66% for the group, a Canadian risk-free annual interest rate of 4.19%, and a United States risk-free annual interest rate of 4.52%. The fair value of both tranches is being recognized over the vesting period.
During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company issued 0 million shares (2024 - 1 million shares) on the vesting of PSUs. As at December 31, 2025, 7 million PSUs were outstanding under the plan (2024 - 6 million). For the year ended December 31, 2025, share-based payments expense relating to PSUs was $6 million (2024 - $8 million).

The Company’s long-term investments consist of shares of publicly traded mining companies. The fair values of these were determined using market quotes from an active market for each investment.
The fair value of the Company's fuel and gold derivative contracts was determined using prevailing market rates for instruments with similar characteristics.
The fair value of the gold stream was calculated based on an income approach and a discounted cash flow model. The calculated fair value includes inputs that are based on observable market data, including forward gold price curves and credit adjusted risk-free rates. The fair value also includes inputs that are not based on observable market data, including the timing of future gold deliveries. The valuation has been prepared by an independent valuations specialist with direct oversight from the Company. Forward gold price estimates ranged from $4,314 to $5,685 per ounce. A $100 per ounce change in the gold forward price would have approximately a $6 million impact on the fair value of the gold stream obligation. A 50 basis point change in the discount rate would also have approximately a $8 million impact on the fair value of the gold stream obligation.
The fair value of the Notes, based on quoted market prices, is $736 million. The carrying amount of the Notes represents the liability component recorded at amortized costs (Note 12), while the fair value represents both the liability and equity components. The fair value of the Notes is categorized as level 1 in the fair value hierarchy outlined in IFRS 13 Fair value measurement.
The fair value of the Company's long-term debt also approximates its carrying value as it has a floating interest rate and the Company's credit spread has remained approximately consistent. The fair value of the Company's other financial instruments approximate their carrying value due to their short-term nature.

Capital risk management
The Company’s objectives when managing its capital is to ensure it will be able to continue as a going concern while maximizing the return to shareholders including the payment of dividends.

The capital structure of the Company includes shareholders’ equity and debt.
Credit risk
As at December 31, 2025, the Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk was the book value of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, loans receivable and the carrying value of its derivative portfolio.

The Company maintains its excess cash balances in short-term investments accounts. The Company does not maintain insurance for its cash balances.
Liquidity risk
The Company manages its liquidity risk through its budgeting and forecasting process. Budgets are prepared annually and forecasts are prepared and reviewed on a regular basis, to help determine the funding requirements to support the Company’s current operations and expansion and development plans and by managing its capital structure as described above.
As at December 31, 2025, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $380 million. Cash provided by operating activities totalled $896 million for the year ended December 31, 2025. As at December 31, 2025, the Company had a $800 million revolving credit facility of which $650 million is undrawn.

Market risk
Market risk includes currency and price risk.
The Company’s operations in foreign countries are subject to currency fluctuations and such fluctuations may materially affect the Company’s financial position and results. The Company reports its financial results in United States dollars and incurs expenses in European euros, CFA francs, Namibian dollars, South African rand, Philippine pesos, Canadian dollars and Colombian pesos. As these exchange rates fluctuate against the United States dollar, the Company will experience foreign exchange gains and losses.
The Company also holds cash and cash equivalents that are denominated in non-United States dollar currencies which are subject to currency risk. As at December 31, 2025, $291 million of the Company’s $380 million in cash and cash equivalents was held in United States dollars. A 10% movement in foreign exchange rates versus the United States dollar would result in approximately a $8 million change in the Company’s cash position.
The Company holds long‑term investments in publicly traded mining companies and is exposed to fluctuations in the market prices of these securities. Changes in equity prices may result from commodity‑price movements, market sentiment, operational developments of the investee companies, and broader economic conditions. These investments are measured at FVOCI and classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. A 10% change in the quoted market prices of these investments at the reporting date would result in a corresponding change in fair value of approximately $28 million.
The Company maintains a portfolio of fuel and gold derivatives that are measured at FVTPL. A 10% change in the forward price of fuel would result in a $5 million change in the value of the fuel derivative portfolio. A $100 per ounce change in the forward price of gold would result in a $20 million change in the value of the gold derivative portfolio excluding the impact on the Company's gold stream obligation (Note 18).

Included in current income tax expense for the year ended December 31, 2025, is $117 million (2024 - $26 million), related to the State of Mali's 20% priority dividend on its free carried interest in the Fekola Mine. This priority dividend is accounted for as an income tax in accordance with IAS 12, Income Taxes.

During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company recorded a deferred tax expense of $14 million (2024 - recovery of $3 million) related to future withholding tax expected to be incurred on retained earnings the Company is planning to repatriate from its foreign subsidiaries in the foreseeable future. The Company's foreign subsidiaries continue to have earnings in excess of their expected needs for reinvestment. The deferred tax expense will eventually be a current tax expense as dividends from foreign subsidiaries and the associated withholding taxes are paid.
Deferred tax liabilities of approximately $119 million (2024 – $134 million) have not been recognized on the repatriation of earnings from foreign subsidiaries where the Company controls the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences but it is probable that such differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

| Balance, end of year | | 74,903 | | | 169,738 | |
At December 31, 2025, the Company had non-capital tax losses which are not recognized as deferred tax assets. The Company recognizes the tax benefit of the non-capital tax losses only to the extent of anticipated future taxable income that can be reduced by non-capital tax losses. The gross amount of the non-capital tax losses for which a tax benefit has not been recorded are $1,159 million (2024 - $577 million) in Canada which expire between 2027 and 2045, and $102 million (2024 - $110 million) in Colombia of which $101 million does not expire.
At December 31, 2025 the Company had capital losses in Canada of $9 million which have no expiry date and can be applied against future capital gains. No deferred income tax asset has been recorded with respect to these losses. On March 4, 2024, the Company received Notices of Reassessment relating to the denial of capital losses realized by B2Gold in respect of certain internal reorganizations undertaken in the 2016 taxation year. The reassessments do not result in any income taxes payable but would reduce the Company's net capital loss carry-forward balances and non-capital loss carry-forward balances (due to the deduction of a portion of the capital losses in subsequent taxation years). The Company has disputed the reassessments. Should the Company be successful in its dispute, non-capital losses would increase by $71 million and capital losses would increase by $295 million for which no deferred tax asset has been recognized as at December 31, 2025.
During the year ended December 31, 2025 the Company paid $502 million (2024 - $360 million) of current income tax, withholding and other taxes in cash.
Pillar Two Global Minimum Tax
In June 2024, Canada enacted the Global Minimum Tax Act that was developed within the framework of the OECD’s Pillar Two global minimum tax regime, effective January 1, 2024. As Pillar Two legislation has been enacted or substantively enacted in certain jurisdictions in which the Company operates, the legislation is effective for the Company's financial year beginning January 1, 2024.
Beginning January 1, 2024, the Company performs an assessment on a quarterly basis of its potential exposure to Pillar Two income taxes. This assessment is based on the most recent information available regarding the financial performance of the constituent entities of the consolidated group. Based on the assessment performed to date, the Company has not accrued any Pillar Two top-up taxes for the years ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2025.
