Barrick Gold's Q3 2024 Production Highlights and Future Prospects
Barrick Gold's Preliminary Q3 Production Results
All amounts expressed in US dollars. Barrick Gold Corporation (NYSE: GOLD, TSX: ABX) recently unveiled its preliminary production figures for the third quarter of 2024. With impressive numbers reflecting a total production of 943 thousand ounces of gold and 48 thousand tonnes of copper, Barrick is poised for a strong finish to the year.
Quarterly Performance Insights
In Q3, Barrick achieved preliminary gold sales of 967 thousand ounces and copper sales of 42 thousand tonnes. The company anticipates that the fourth quarter will yield even stronger results, helping to align the total production for 2024 within its gold and copper production guidance. The average market price for gold during this quarter stood at $2,474 per ounce, while copper commanded an average price of $4.18 per pound.
Performance Across Operations
Pueblo Viejo, one of Barrick's key operations, demonstrated a significant sequential improvement of 23% due to ongoing plant optimization efforts. Similarly, North Mara reported enhanced performance, benefiting from higher ore grades. The Carlin operation finished an expansion of the Gold Quarry roaster, which is projected to enhance throughput and recovery rates in Q4. Meanwhile, Turquoise Ridge saw improvements due to strong underground mining outputs, compensating for a planned autoclave shutdown. At Kibali, access to high-grade underground headings was enhanced, promising a continued uptick in productivity.
Cost Expectations
When analyzing the anticipated costs associated with gold production, the cost of sales per ounce is projected to rise by 1% to 3% compared to Q2. Total cash costs are anticipated to increase by 3% to 5%. Additionally, all-in sustaining costs may see a slight rise of up to 2%, partly due to higher royalties due to improved gold prices. Regarding copper, an increase in costs is expected, notably a 5% to 7% climb in sales costs per pound.
Future Production and Sales Analysis
Barrick's management plans to provide an in-depth analysis of its Q3 2024 production and sales when it reports its quarterly results on November 7, 2024. This report will hold critical information for stakeholders looking to understand Barrick's operational dynamics and future projections.
