Fun fact: during the weekend, when the war just started, silver traded OTC at 98$ at some point, and demand was so high for gold that some Chinese banks had to suspend any offer. 72h later, NOTHING fundamentally changed







$BTG's 📉10% from bad 4Q25 ER is fully recovered in 2 days. I will offer two observations: ✔️The bar (mkt expectation) is damn low. ✔️BTG's 2026 guidance is conservative, imo. This is a coil-spring setup. Looking ahead 6(or 9) months, when we get to a quarter free of gold prepayment obligation (that is $120Mn FCF!) and Goose solves its damn crusher issue, how will the market react? Crusher is a gating issue that could (and does) impact output bigly (see the table below). But it is a mechanics, not a mine issue. Its resolution is a when, not an if. Over the years I've invested in mining, I've never encountered a project failure due to straightforward mechanical issues. Simply put, I love a setup like this. That said, gold mining is inherently volatile and could be down (or up) 10%+ any day. Disclaimer: I'm long B2Gold. I've not seen many in-depth analyses on $BTG's 4Q25 results, which have lots of puts and takes. Will include my analysis in my portfolio quarterly updates (it might get too long; if so, I will do a separate write-up just for BTG).
