AI desk brief

Fortuna Mining reported Q3 2026 production of 69,665 gold equivalent ounces, down from 72,217 GEO in Q2 and 72,462 GEO a year earlier, but said it remains on track to meet full-year guidance of 281,000-305,000 GEO. Séguéla produced 33,744 oz of gold in the quarter, with output hit by lower equipment availability and an artisanal miner blockade that delayed access to higher-grade ore; management expects production to recover in Q4 as mining normalizes.

The company also approved a $109 million, 30% expansion of the Séguéla processing plant, lifting throughput to 2.3Mtpa and targeting over 200,000 oz/yr from H2 2028. Fortuna said the Sunbird Underground project and the newly acquired 190 km² Bambadji project in Senegal are advancing, adding longer-dated growth optionality and potential future supply.
