Alamos Gold Cuts Q2 Production Guidance by 12% to 130K-135K Oz

AI Summary

Alamos Gold Inc. revised its second-quarter production guidance down to 130,000-135,000 ounces, a 12% decrease, and expects full-year 2026 production to be below guidance with higher costs. This is primarily due to seismic events and power outages at its Young-Davidson operation. Conversely, the Island Gold District continues to perform well, with increasing mining rates and mill throughput. The company also eliminated all remaining 2026 gold hedges and repurchased $30.0 million in shares during May.
