Its total production for the third quarter of 2023 was 31,498 ounces. The mine is expected to produce gold of 126,000-138,000 ounces in 2024.
The Yaramoko Mine in Burkina Faso produced 28,006 ounces of gold, down 18% year over year. FSM expects Yaramoko&#39;s gold production between 105,000 and 119,000 ounces for 2024.
The third-quarter&nbsp; gold production at the Lindero mine in Argentina was 24,345 ounces, up 16.3% year over year. The 2024 guidance for the mine is pegged at 93,000-105,000 ounces of gold.

Zinc production was 12.8 million pounds and lead production was 13 million pounds.
<h2>Fortuna Silver Maintains 2024 Guidance</h2>
FSM reported gold and silver production of 273,645 ounces and 2.9 million ounces, respectively, in the first nine months of 2024, translating to 339,933 ounces of gold equivalent (including lead and zinc by-products).
Gold equivalent production guidance for 2024 is maintained between 457,000 and 497,000 ounces. The range indicates a year-over-year increase of 1-10%.
The gold production guidance is pegged at 343,000-385,000 ounces, which indicates growth of 5-18% from the 2023 reported level. The silver production guidance is 4-4.7 million ounces for 2024, which suggests a year-over-year decline of 21-32%.
<h2>FSM&#39;s Peer Performance in Q3</h2>
Endeavour Silver Corporation (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/exk#NYSE">EXK</a>) produced 1.6 million silver equivalent ounces in the third quarter of 2024, a 14% decline from the year-ago quarter due to reduced silver production at its mines, which offset higher gold output. 
Consolidated silver production fell 24% year over year to 874,717 million ounces. This was due to a reduced operating capacity at Guanacev&iacute; after the trunnion breakdown in August.
Endeavour Silver, however, witnessed a 2% year-over-year improvement in gold production to 9,290 ounces . The rise was driven by higher gold grades mined at Guanacev&iacute; and Bola&ntilde;itos, as well as increased gold content in third-party feed processed at Guanacev&iacute;.
<h2>Fortuna Silver&#39;s Share Price Outperforms Industry</h2>
Shares of Fortuna Silver have gained 61% in the past year compared with the industry&#39;s 7.3% growth.

Fortuna Mining Reports Production Results For The Third Quarter Of 2024 From Its Five Operating Mines In West Africa And Latin America

WIIM

Fortuna Mining Corp shares are trading lower. The company is facing and responding to media reports regarding the possible withdrawal of existing mining permits and said it received confirmation that the government has no plans to withdraw existing mining permits which are in compliance with Burkina Faso's laws.

Fortuna Mining Corp. (NYSE:<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FSM#NYSE">FSM</a>, TSX:<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FVI#TSX">FVI</a>) today shared an update on its operations at the Yaramoko Mine in Burkina Faso. &nbsp;
On October 5, 2024, Burkina Faso's President Ibrahim Traoré made public comments regarding mining companies operating in the country and the possible withdrawal of existing mining permits. Fortuna has sought clarification from the country's Ministry of Mines on this point and has received confirmation that the government has no plans to withdraw existing mining permits which are in compliance with Burkina Faso's laws. The Yaramoko Mine is in compliance with all material laws and operations continue to be conducted normally.
The Yaramoko Mine has been in operation since 2016 and reached the one-million-ounce gold pour milestone on May 19, 2024 (refer to Fortuna news release dated May 22, 2024, "<a href="https://fortunamining.com/news/fortunas-yaramoko-mine-reaches-one-million-ounce-gold-pour-milestone/">Fortuna's Yaramoko Mine reaches one-million-ounce gold pour milestone</a>"). Yaramoko is expected to contribute approximately 25 percent of Fortuna's gold equivalent ounces in 2024 (refer to Fortuna news release dated January 18, 2024, "<a href="https://fortunamining.com/news/fortuna-reports-record-2023-production-of-452-koz-au-eq-and-2024-annual-guidance-of-457-to-497-koz-au-eq/">Fortuna reports record 2023 production of 452 koz Au Eq and 2024 annual guidance of 457 to 497 koz Au Eq</a>").

Shares of precious metal companies are trading lower amid a drop in the price of gold. Weakness in the commodity may be due to August's ISM Manufacturing PMI data indicating an economic contraction and pending non-farm payrolls data that may determine the size of future rate cuts.

Source: <a href="https://www.streetwisereports.com/article/2024/08/16/diverse-issues-offset-mostly-strong-revenues.html?utm_medium=feed">Adrian Day 08/16/2024</a>
Global Analyst Adrian Day reviews results from six major resource companies, four of which are royalty companies.
The quarterly results we look at today from six major resource companies mostly include higher revenues and cash flows, which is not unexpected given that the gold price was $250 an ounce higher than in the first quarter.
However, they also show some companies are still struggling with costs. Above all, they clearly illustrate Robert Friedland&#39;s quip that &quot;Murphy works overtime in the mining business.&quot;
The last quarter includes a power outage, equipment failures, arbitration, a heap leach failure, a broken agreement, and construction delays. And more. It reinforces that mining is a difficult business, and so too for the royalty companies that reap some of the rewards. Guidance and market forecasts are all too often set with the expectation of perfection. Companies that had unexpected problems saw their stock prices slammed.
<h2>Wheaton Has Strong Quarter as It Ramps up Production</h2>
Wheaton Precious Metals Corp. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/wpm#NYSE">WPM</a>) was the exception, with a strong quarter in which nothing meaningful went wrong. It is on track to achieve the upper end of its full-year guidance. Production was stronger than expected, driven by outperformance at its largest asset, Salobo, as Phase III continues its ramp-up, as well as strong performance at Pe&ntilde;asquito and Antamina.
Sales were lower due to timing differences between production and sales. There are some major new assets on which it holds streams moving towards production, including Ivanhoe&#39;s Platreef, where an updated feasibility study is scheduled for the fourth quarter; this will be one of the world&#39;s largest platinum producers. There are six other projects under construction and more predevelopment projects, allowing Wheaton to move from this year&#39;s production range of 550,000 to 620,000 GEOs to over 850,000 a year from 2029 onwards.
<h2>Company Has Strong Pipeline With Balance Sheet To Transact</h2>
The pipeline for new deals is very busy, with larger transactions under consideration, mostly in the pre-construction phase, with some over half-a-billion in size.
This is a change from recent Wheaton activity which saw it making some very small transactions, some as small as $20 million. The company has a rock-solid balance sheet, with $540 million in cash, up $234 million on the quarter, with total liquidity of $2.5 billion.
We are long-term holders.
<h2>Royal on Track To Meet Guidance With Strong Revenues</h2>
Royal Gold Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/rgld#NASDAQ">RGLD</a>) reported quarterly financials better than expected, even after pre-releasing its streaming sales, which constitute the bulk of its revenues. Revenue was up 17% quarter-on-quarter, primarily due to higher metal prices but also higher copper sales at Mount Milligan and higher gold and silver production from Pe&ntilde;asquito, partially offset by lower sales at Pueblo Viejo, where the expansion is still in ramp-up. G&amp;A cash costs remain flat. The company is tracking its guidance, which remains unchanged.
During the quarter, Royal acquired additional royalties on B2Gold&#39;s Back River project. The royalties are different in structure (NSR and GSR) as well as having hurdles and variable rates; the company estimates that, in aggregate, their royalties approximate a 1.1% gross smelter royalty. With a further $100 million paydown on its debt, the company is now net cash positive, with just $50 million of debt outstanding and available liquidity of $1 billion. The debt is expected to be paid off next week, eliminating the debt taken on to acquire three major royalties over the past two years (Cortez, Great Bear, and Back River), which the company acquired without any equity dilution.
Royal has strong free cash flow, and near-term growth as well as some longer-term potential.
<h2>Osisko Lowers Full-Year Guidance as It Writes off Mine Royalty</h2>
Osisko Gold Royalties Ltd. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/or#NYSE">OR</a>) saw a reasonable second quarter, in line with its guidance, but due, as acknowledged by the company, to higher metals prices. Gold Equivalent Ounces (GEOs), which had been pre-released, declined slightly. It lowered its second-half guidance on the back of the suspension of the Eagle Mine in the Yukon following a heap leach failure at the end of the quarter.
Osisko decided to take a full impairment on the royalty it holds on the mine, stating that it has no visibility on when the mine might restart and is not expecting any ounces for the rest of the year. There is also a delay in the ramp-up of one of its new royalty assets, Mantos Blancos, contributing to the lower-than-expected second half. It does have three new assets paying in the second half, including Tocantinzinho, which has already started producing but on which royalty payments have a three-month delay. It has already received initial payments from a new Agnico Mine as well as the CSA copper assets in Australia.
<h2>New Assets Starting Up</h2>
Paying down debt is the company&#39;s first priority, other than doing new transactions. After repaying $44 million during the quarter, it now has $109 million in debt and $67 million in cash. With a credit facility, it has access to capital and a strong balance sheet.
Though the second half will be weaker than earlier expected, there are three new paying assets, and behind these a strong pipeline. Osisko has 20 producing assets, with 98% of revenues now from gold and silver and a very strong political risk profile. The new CEO is proving himself to be capable and focused.
Osisko is a Buy.
<h2>Altius Financials as Expected, as Major Decision and Transaction Awaited</h2>
Altius Minerals Corp. (OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/atusf#OTC">ATUSF</a>) reported financials for the quarter more-or-less as expected after pre-releasing royalty revenue. As always, with a diverse portfolio, there are winners and losers: potash fell again from its extraordinarily high pricing levels in 2023, while base metals saw continued gains. The iron ore segment recovered, and renewal royalties, while lower than an exceptional first quarter, are growing strongly, more than 50% above the year-ago quarter.
In all, royalty revenue of $21.7 million rose nearly 25% in the last quarter (and 17% from the year-ago quarter). The outlook looks strong. The renewables company saw one new project come on line in the last quarter, with another this quarter and several new deals closing. Altius holds royalties on three projects in its base and battery metals division, which are currently under construction, while Champion Iron is continuing discussions on finding a partner for its Kami iron-ore project, for which Altius holds a royalty. The high-priority iron ore that Kami will produce was recently designated as a &quot;critical mineral&quot; by Canada.
<h2>Silicon-Merlin Will Be the Major Drive in the Near Term</h2>
In the near term, however, the major development will be the disposition of the royalty it holds on AngloGold&#39;s Silicon-Merlin deposit in southern Nevada.
The deposit continues to advance, with some exceptional assay results from its infill drilling at Merlin, including a stunning 0.53 g/t gold over 144.5 meters. It drilled 66,000 km during the first half, mostly infill, though we know there has also been aggressive drilling to the west of the Merlin deposit, with the company saying it had hit &quot;very exciting&quot; new intercepts. A Pre-Feasibility Study on Merlin is expected to be finished in late 2025. The region has a current resource of 17.5 million ounces, and Anglo projects the district producing 500,000 ounces a year. Altius holds a 1.5% royalty with the area of interest under arbitration; another recommended company, Orogen, holds a 1% royalty on the main deposit, which is undisputed. 
Altius has already received preliminary bids from companies, with CEO Brian Dalton saying that the &quot;strong and diverse proposals . . . highlighted a meaningful disconnect between how its value is perceived by (the) financial industry versus the royalty industry professionals.&quot; Once it has received the decision on its arbitration, it intends to seek final bids and will then make a decision on whether to accept a bid (to sell or swap for base metals royalties) or to hold the royalty. I do not want to read too much into that comment from Dalton, but it was interesting to hear him raise again the possibility of keeping the royalty.
<h2>Altius Buyback Stock, as Improving Balance Sheet Improves</h2>
Altius repurchased 119,000 of its shares during the quarter, and it is no secret that the company wants to repurchase more shares if it sells that royalty. It has cash of a little over $19 million after receiving $9 million in settlement of a loan receivable, plus holdings in public companies totaling over $371 million. These include over $176 million of shares in Altius Renewal Royalties and nearly $56 million in its Project Generation&quot; portfolio.
I am not suggesting that these are all for sale &mdash; though it has been sold some shares from its PG portfolio &mdash; but they do strengthen the balance sheet. It has $93 million available on its credit facility. Altius is a core holding for us, offering broad exposure to the commodity universe with some of the most astute management in the business.
Hold and look to buy on any weakness.
<h2>Pan American&#39;s Production Down at Ongoing Mine Problems</h2>
Pan American Silver Corp. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/paas#NYSE">PAAS</a>) had a mixed quarter with slightly lower production and overall costs higher, though with lower costs for silver quarter-on-quarter ($14.49/oz cash costs). Ongoing issues at two mines, La Colorado and Dolores, hurt production. However, boosted by the higher metals prices, Pan American saw record cash flow from operations during the quarter.
The company reiterated its guidance, expecting production to be weighted towards the fourth quarter and, overall, silver production to be at the low end of the range. The rest of the year should bring improvement from La Colorada following the completion of the new ventilation system and $245 million in cash from the closing of the La Arena sale. There is also potential for the re-start of Escobal; several meetings with the government were held recently after delays caused by the change in government.
The company has a strong balance sheet, with $369 million in cash and a net debt of $472 million. It continued to buy back stock, bringing the total for the year to date to 1.7 million shares for just over $24 million (indicating that most shares were bought early on in the year, given the average cost of just over $14). The company reiterated that it expected additional divestments of non-core assets.
Pan American is a Buy, for operational turnaround, and Escobal potential, as well as strong management and balance sheet.
<h2>Fortuna&#39;s Revenue Disappointments but Issues Are Temporary</h2>
Fortuna Silver Mines Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/fsm#NYSE">FSM</a>) reported revenue slightly lower than expected and costs higher. All-in sustaining Costs (AISC) at $1,656/oz were meaningfully higher than the first quarter&#39;s $1,495 due to three factors: higher power costs in West Africa, planned maintenance at Lindero, and higher per-ounce costs at San Jose as that mine runs down as it approaches the end of its reserve life. The first two factors here are temporary; Fortuna now has full generator capacity at its S&eacute;qu&eacute;la mine, so costs are expected to come down again in the second half of the year.
Despite these challenges, Fortuna is on track to meet its full-year guidance. Operations are doing well, and there has been some good exploration success, in particular around the S&eacute;qu&eacute;la mine. At San Jose, in Mexico, the company is continuing to explore alternatives: continuing to mine, closing the mine, or putting it on care and maintenance pending greater reserves from exploration. It will have a decision in the third quarter. The company continues to strengthen its balance sheet. A convertible issue allowed it to fully repay its credit facility and redeem an existing convertible, partly in cash and partly in shares.
Overall, the new convertible reduced its interest rate from over 7% to just 3.75%. Net debt is now just $66 million. It has $350 million in available liquidity. We like Fortuna for its diversified asset base, its strong management, and solid balance sheet, as well as strong brownfields potential.

Price Target

Scotiabank Maintains Sector Perform on Fortuna Mining, Raises Price Target to $6.5

Fortuna Silver Mines (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FSM#NYSE">FSM</a>) reported quarterly earnings of $0.10 per share which missed the analyst consensus estimate of $0.15 by 33.33 percent. The company reported $259.971 million in sales this quarter. This is a 64.12 percent increase over sales of $158.400 million the same period last year.

Earnings Misses

Fortuna Silver Mines Q2 2024 Adj. EPS $0.10 Misses $0.15 Estimate, Sales $259.971M Up From $158.400M YoY

shares of precious metals stocks are trading lower as gold and silver fall despite overall market uncertainty.

First Majestic Silver Corp. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ag#NYSE">AG</a>) announced that its total production reached 5.3 million silver equivalent (&quot;AgEq&quot;) ounces in the second quarter of 2024. The figure consists of 2.1 million silver ounces and 39,339 gold ounces.
On a sequential basis, silver production grew 7%, whereas gold production increased 9%. Overall silver equivalent ounces jumped 2% from the prior quarter. The rise was mainly driven by higher silver production at La Encantada and increased AgEq production at Santa Elena. However, this was partially offset by lower production at the San Dimas mine.
The Santa Elena gold mine generated 2.6 million AgEq ounces. This includes 3.77 million silver ounces and 27,176 gold ounces, marking increases of 6% and 25%, respectively, over the first quarter of 2024. The La Encantada mine produced 5.85 million silver ounces, a 28% increase from the previous quarter.
San Dimas generated 2.1 million AgEq ounces in the quarter. This includes 1.14 million silver ounces and 12,043 gold ounces, 2% and 11% quarter-over-quarter declines, respectively. The dip was led by a decrease in fresh ore processed, which is largely the outcome of First Magestic&#39;s continuing labor relation negotiations with unionized workers.
<h3>2024 Guidance</h3>
To reflect the pick-up in metal prices and upbeat production results in the second quarter, the company updated its 2024 outlook. The updated silver and gold price estimates for the second half of 2024 are $28.00 and $2,300 per ounce, respectively. It expects silver production of 8.9-9.5 million ounces compared with the prior mentioned 8.6-9.6 million ounces.
AG expects 2024 gold production between 150,000 and 158,000 ounces compared with the prior stated 150,000-167,000.
<h3>Price Performance</h3>
AG shares have lost 9.4% in the past year against the industry&#39;s growth of 38.5%.

First Majestic Q2 Silver Production Rises Sequentially

Endeavour Silver Corporation (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/exk#NYSE">EXK</a>) produced 2.2 million silver equivalent ounces in the second quarter of 2024, a 5% decline from the year-ago quarter, primarily due to reduced silver production at both of its mines, which offset higher gold output. The company also expects to commission the Terronera mine in the fourth quarter of 2024 and commence production in 2025.
<h3>Silver Production Declines on Lower Grades, Gold Up</h3>
Consolidated silver production fell 12% year over year to 1.31 million ounces. This was due to a 12% reduction in silver output at the Guanacev&iacute; mine and a 17% decrease at Bola&ntilde;itos, both due to lower grades.&nbsp;
Endeavour Silver, however, witnessed a 7% year-over-year improvement in gold production at 10,549 ounces. The growth was driven by higher gold grades mined at both Guanacev&iacute; and Bola&ntilde;itos, as well as higher gold content in third-party feed processed at Guanacev&iacute;. Gold output at the Guanacev&iacute; mine rose 9% year over year to 4,243 ounces, while the Bola&ntilde;itos mine output grew 6% to 6,306 ounces.&nbsp;
Guanacev&iacute;&#39;s silver production was 1.196 million ounces (down 12% year over year), which met the company&#39;s expectations. Gold production at 4,243 ounces (up 9%) was higher than expected due to increased gold grades mined and higher content in the third-party feed.
Local third-party feed contributed 15% to Guanacev&iacute;&#39;s quarterly throughput. At current prices, management expects local third-party feed to be higher than 10% of throughput going forward. The Guanacev&iacute; operations are realizing the benefits of the significant plant improvements and modifications made in 2023.
At Bolanitos, gold production increased 6% to 6,306 ounces, while silver production plunged 17% due to lower grades. Silver production was slightly below expectations due to decreased silver grades and lower silver recovery, while throughput remained steady. Milled grades are expected to show similar variations in the second half of the year.
<h3>2024 Production Guidance Maintained</h3>
So far in 2024, EXK has produced 2.2 million silver equivalent ounces and believes it is on track to attain its production target range of 8.1-8.8 million silver equivalent ounces in 2024.
<h3>Improved Metal Prices to Reflect on Q2 Results</h3>
For the second quarter, Endeavour Silver reported a 6% year-over-year decline in silver sales at 1.22 million ounces, while gold sales were flat at 9,887 ounces. At the quarter&#39;s end, the company held 262,160 ounces of silver and 939 ounces of gold in bullion inventory. EXK also held 5,860 ounces of silver and 322 ounces of gold in the concentrate inventory.
The lower sales figures will likely be offset by the elevated gold and silver prices observed through the second quarter and will reflect on Endeavour Silver&#39;s upcoming second-quarter 2024 results. We expect other industry players such as Hecla Mining (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/hl#NYSE">HL</a>) and Fortuna Silver Mines Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/fsm#NYSE">FSM</a>), among others, to also benefit from this trend.
<h3>Peer Performances</h3>
Fortuna Silver Mines recently announced that it produced 116,570 gold equivalent ounces in the second quarter, which marked a 25% increase from the year-ago quarter. This includes a gold production of 92,716 ounces and a silver production of 990,574 ounces. While gold output marked a 44% year-over-year increase, silver was down 22%.
FSM maintains its gold equivalent production guidance for 2024 to be between 457,000 ounces and 497,000 ounces. Gold production guidance is pegged at 343,000-385,000 ounces while silver production is pegged at 4-4.7 million ounces.
Hecla Mining reported 4.5 million ounces of silver production in the second quarter. This marked a 16% improvement year over year, reflecting solid performance at Keno Hill. HL&#39;s gold production was up 6% at 37,324 ounces from the year-ago quarter as improved results at Casa Berardi offset lower output at Greens Creek.&nbsp;
Hecla Mining has produced 7.9 million ounces of silver in the first half of 2024 and believes it is on track to produce 17 million ounces of silver in 2024.

Why Lands' End Shares Are Trading Lower? Here Are Other Stocks Moving In Wednesday's Mid-Day Session

Fortuna Silver Mines Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FSM#NYSE">FSM</a>) shares are trading lower by 15% to $5.02 during Wednesday&#8217;s session after the company announced an offering of convertible senior notes worth $150 million, due in 2029, with an option for initial purchasers to buy an additional <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/06/g39180224/fortuna-announces-offering-of-convertible-senior-notes">$22.5 million in notes</a>.
The proceeds will be used to repay bank debt, fund working capital, cover general corporate expenses, and repay existing 4.65% senior subordinated unsecured convertible debentures unless these are converted into shares before redemption. The company plans to issue a redemption notice for the current debentures before the new offering closes. 
The interest rate and conversion rate for the new notes will be set based on market conditions at the time of the offering. The notes will bear semi-annual interest, be convertible into shares, and include redemption and repurchase rights for both the company and the holders under certain conditions.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy FSM Stock</h2>
By now you're likely curious about how to participate in the market for Fortuna Silver Mines &#8211; be it to purchase shares, or even attempt to bet against the company.
Buying shares is typically done through a brokerage account. You can find a list of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-stock-trading-platforms">possible trading platforms here.</a> Many will allow you to buy ‘fractional shares,' which allows you to own portions of stock without buying an entire share. For example, some stock, like Berkshire Hathaway, or Amazon.com, can cost thousands of dollars to own just one share.
