**【CEO Summary】
- Q4 2025 production reached 82,000 gold equivalent ounces (11% Q/Q, 23% YoY), with annual production of 280,000 ounces (9% YoY). 
- EBITDA for the quarter was $208 million, driven by higher gold prices ($4,090/oz) and cost control, resulting in $548 million annual EBITDA (100% YoY growth). 
- Acquired MSG for $76 million, generating $10 million EBITDA in one month despite high all-in sustaining costs ($3,000/oz). 
- Strategic focus on three pillars: greenfield projects (Borborema expansion), resource/reserve growth (670,000 oz added at Borborema), and M&A to boost daily trading volume ($100M/day vs. $2M previously). 
- 2026 guidance: 50-60,000 oz from MSG (turnaround year), 65-77,000 oz from Borborema, and $0.66 quarterly dividend (6.2% yield). 

**【CFO Financial Commentary】
- Q4 net loss of $20 million due to $82 million non-cash derivative losses, but adjusted net income was $73 million. 
- 2025 EBITDA doubled to $548 million, with recurring free cash flow of $94 million (after derivatives). 
- 2026 all-in sustaining cash costs expected to rise $262-407 million, driven by MSG (70-80% of increase) and higher metal prices. 
- Sustaining CapEx up $15-17 million YoY, primarily due to MSG, Almas expansion, and Borborema filter press upgrade. 
- Net debt/EBITDA ratio remained low at 0.3x, enabling dividend payments above 20% of EBITDA. 

**【Q&A Highlights】
- **Production Guidance**: Conservative 2026 guidance reflects lower cutoff grades (e.g., Borborema grades down 10% YoY). 
- **Borborema Expansion**: Filter press upgrade to expand beyond 2M tpa by mid-2026, with potential 4M tpa expansion if water permits. 
- **MSG Turnaround**: 2026 focus on underground development to achieve 80,000 oz+ at < $2,000/oz by 2027. 
- **Index Inclusion**: Likely added to GDX by Q3 2026 if daily volume > $200M. 
- **M&A Strategy**: Prioritize Latin America assets with >50,000 oz/year potential, avoiding North America until multiple narrows. 
- **Era Dorada**: Board approval expected Q1 2026, with 22-month construction timeline.
