B2Gold Corp. is a gold mining company. It digs gold out of the ground at mines it owns and operates, then sells that gold to refiners, banks, and commodity buyers. The company is a mid-tier gold producer, meaning it is smaller than giants like Newmont but larger than most junior miners.

B2Gold makes money by selling physical gold at market prices, so its profits rise and fall with the price of gold. It operates mines primarily in Mali, Namibia, and the Philippines, with additional projects in other countries. The company has built a reputation for bringing mines into production on time and under budget, which is a real competitive edge in an industry known for cost overruns. The biggest risk B2Gold faces is political instability in Mali, which hosts its largest and most profitable mine, the Fekola operation — any disruption there would have a significant impact on overall production and revenue.
