B2Gold's (NYSE: BTG) stock price has nearly doubled since my buy rating, driven by a remarkable surge in gold prices. The company's rally is expected to continue due to several catalysts, including the expansion of its operations in Nevada and the potential discovery of new gold deposits. B2Gold's strong fundamentals, low debt levels, and growing dividend payments also support further gains.
The recent gold price rally has been fueled by a combination of geopolitical instability, post-COVID inflation anxiety, and central banks' increasing gold purchases. Central banks worldwide have added more than 1,000 tonnes to their reserves in 2024 and are continuing this trend in 2025, primarily led by China and Russia. This shift away from the US dollar towards tangible assets like gold is expected to serve as a strong and lasting tailwind for gold prices, according to a

B2Gold's stock price has been driven by several company-specific catalysts. The company's Goose Mine in Nunavut, Canada, achieved commercial production on October 2, 2025, marking a significant milestone. The mine is expected to produce 120-150,000 oz of gold in 2025, with a ramp-up to ~300,000 oz per year for the first six years (2026-2031). Additionally, the Fekola Complex in Mali received approval for underground mining on July 30, 2025, which should increase gold production by 25-35,000 oz in 2025 itself. The Gramalote project in Colombia, with an estimated all-in-sustaining-cost (AISC) of $985 per oz, is also expected to generate significant returns, according to a

Despite these positive developments, B2Gold still trades at a relative discount to its peers. The company's strong fundamentals, low debt levels, and growing dividend payments make it an attractive investment option. However, investors should be aware of potential risks, such as political instability in Mali and gold price volatility.
