Investor presentation summary
8 May, 2026Operational performance and production outlook

Maintains a sizeable reserve base of 21 million ounces and resources of 24 million M&I and 14 million inferred ounces.
Consistently meets or exceeds annual production, cost, and capital guidance, with 2025 guidance on track for 2.0Moz at $1,120/oz cost of sales and $1,500/oz AISC.
High-quality portfolio includes top-tier assets in the US, Brazil, Mauritania, and Chile, with significant near-term and long-term growth optionality.
Exploration spend remains strong, with recent successes at Tasiast, Paracatu, Round Mountain, Curlew, and Great Bear driving future production potential.
Financial strength and capital allocation
Record free cash flow and strong margins, with a 2026E free cash flow yield of ~7% and robust investment-grade balance sheet.
$1.7 billion in cash and $3.4 billion in total liquidity as of late 2025, with net cash position achieved and $1.8 billion net debt reduction in 2025.

Attractive valuation with peer-leading leverage to gold, strong per-share growth, and consensus buy ratings from major analysts.
Project pipeline and growth initiatives
Advancing major projects: Great Bear (Ontario) on track for first production in 2029, with permitting and construction progressing as scheduled.
US growth projects (Round Mountain Phase X, Curlew, Bald Mountain Redbird 2) offer high IRRs, quick paybacks, and nearly 3Moz total contribution, extending mine lives into the 2030s.
Lobo-Marte and Maricunga in Chile, and Tasiast underground in Mauritania, provide further long-life, low-cost production potential.
Significant resource optionality at existing operations, with extensions and new projects expected to drive production and cash flow through the next decade.
Exploration and technical studies continue to unlock value, with a focus on high-grade underground and open-pit opportunities.
