In May 2024, the IASB issued amendments to update the classification and measurement requirements in IFRS 9 and related disclosure requirements in IFRS 7 as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Clarified the recognition and derecognition date of certain financial assets and liabilities and amended the requirements related to settling financial liabilities using an electronic payment system. For a financial liability settled in cash using an electronic payment system, the amendments permit an entity to deem the financial liability to be discharged before the settlement date provided certain criteria are met.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Clarified how to assess the contractual cash flow characteristics of financial assets in determining whether they meet the solely payments of principal and interest criteria.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• New disclosures for certain instruments with contractual terms that can change cash flows (including instruments with features linked to environmental, social and corporate governance targets).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Additional disclosure requirements for financial instruments with contingent features that do not relate directly to basic lending risks and costs.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Amended disclosures relating to equity instruments designated at fair value through other comprehensive income.

The Company adopted the Amendments effective January 1, 2026. The Company decided to apply the accounting policy choice permitted by the Amendments to determine the settlement date for electronic payments based on the date preceding actual settlement.

As a result of the adoption of the Amendments, the Company adopted changes to its accounting policy around derecognition of financial liabilities. The Company generally derecognizes financial liabilities on the settlement date, which is the date on which the liability is extinguished, because the Company's obligations are discharged, cancelled or have expired. However, when the Company is using an electronic payment system, a financial liability is derecognized when the payment instructions are issued if the following conditions are met:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Once the Company initiated a payment instruction, it has no practical ability to withdraw, stop or cancel the payment and no practical ability to access the cash that will be used for settlement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The settlement risk associated with the electronic payment system is insignificant.

The Amendments have been applied prospectively with no restatement of comparative information, in accordance with transition requirements on initial application of IFRS 9. The adjustment resulted in $3 million increase to the Cash and cash equivalents as at January 1, 2026, in the Condensed Interim Statement of Cash Flows.

***Pronouncements issued but not yet effective***

*IFRS 18, Presentation and disclosure in financial statements*

In April 2024, the IASB issued IFRS 18, *Presentation and disclosure in financial statements* ("IFRS 18"), which replaces IAS 1, *Presentation of financial statements*. IFRS 18 introduces an updated structure for the income statement by requiring income and expenses to be presented in three defined categories (operating, investing and financing), and by specifying certain defined totals and subtotals. Where company-specific measures related to income statement disclosure are provided, management-defined performance measures ("MPMs"), such as certain non-GAAP measures, IFRS 18 requires additional disclosure around those management-defined performance measures in the notes to the financial statements. IFRS 18 provides additional guidance on principles of aggregation and disaggregation which apply to the primary financial statements and the notes to the financial statements. IFRS 18 does not affect the recognition and measurement of items in the financial statements, nor does it affect which items are classified as other comprehensive income and how these items are classified. The standard is effective for reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027, including for interim financial statements. Retrospective application is required and early adoption is permitted.

The Company is still continuing to assess and quantify the effect of IFRS 18 on our consolidated financial statements. The standard is expected to result in changes to the presentation of the consolidated statements of operations, by requiring all income and expenses to be classified into the three main categories of operating, investing and financing. Specifically, we anticipate changes to the presentation of certain income and expense items, for example, that foreign exchange gains and losses will be classified in the same category as the items that gave rise to the exchange difference, rather than being combined into one line. The cash flow statement will begin with the new IFRS 18-specified subtotal of operating profit. The Company will also have enhanced note disclosures on any identified MPMs. The Company expects to apply IFRS 18 on its effective date, with full retrospective application including restated comparative information.

 ***4 Significant accounting judgements and estimates***

The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with IAS 34 requires judgements and estimates that affect the amounts reported. Those judgements and estimates concerning the future may differ from actual results. The following are the areas of accounting policy judgement and accounting estimates applied by management that most significantly affect the Company's financial statements, including those areas of estimation uncertainty that could result in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.

***Areas of judgement***

*Assessment of impairment and reversal of impairment indicators for long-lived assets* 

The Company applies significant judgement in assessing whether there are indicators of impairment, or the reversal of previously recorded impairment, present that give rise to the requirement to conduct an impairment test. Internal and external factors such as significant changes in the use of the asset, legal and permitting factors, future gold prices, operating and capital cost forecasts, quantities of mineral reserves and resources, and movements in market interest rates are used by the Company in determining whether there are any indicators of impairment or reversal of impairment.

*Uncertain tax positions*

The Company's operations involve the application of complex tax regulations in multiple international jurisdictions. Determining the tax treatment of a transaction requires the Company to apply judgement in its interpretation of the applicable tax law. These positions are not final until accepted by the relevant tax authority. The tax treatment may change based on the result of assessments or audits by the tax authorities often years after the initial filing.

The Company recognizes and records potential liabilities for uncertain tax positions based on its assessment of the amount, or range of amounts of tax that will be due. The Company adjusts these accruals as new information becomes available. Due to the complexity and uncertainty associated with certain tax treatments, the ultimate resolution could result in a payment that is materially different from the Company's current estimate of the tax liabilities.

***Sources of estimation uncertainty***

*Fair value of financial instruments*

The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market are determined using valuation techniques. In determining the fair value of the Company's gold collars and gold stream obligation (Notes 14, 15 and 17), the Company makes significant assumptions that are based on the underlying models and the market conditions existing at both initial recognition and the end of each reporting period.

*Mineral reserve and resource estimates*

Mineral reserves are estimates of the amount of ore that can be economically and legally extracted from the Company's mining properties. The Company estimates its mineral reserves and mineral resources based on information compiled by appropriately qualified persons relating to the geological data on the size, depth and shape of the ore body, and requires complex geological judgements to interpret the data. The estimation of recoverable reserves and mineral resources is based upon factors such as estimates of foreign exchange rates, commodity prices, future capital requirements, metallurgical recoveries, permitting and production costs along with geological assumptions and judgements made in estimating the size, and grade of the ore body. Changes in the reserve or resource estimates may impact the carrying value of mining interests, mine restoration provisions, the gold stream obligation, recognition of deferred tax assets, depreciation and amortization charges and royalties obligation.

*Impairment of long-lived assets*

Long-lived assets are tested for impairment, or reversal of a previous impairment, if there is an indicator of impairment or a subsequent reversal. Calculating the estimated recoverable amount of cash-generating units for long-lived asset requires management to make estimates and assumptions that include such factors as mineable mineralization including reserves and resources, future production levels, operating and capital costs, application of royalty, income tax and mining tax rates, future metal prices and discount rates. Changes in any of these assumptions or estimates used in determining the recoverable amount could impact the analysis. Such changes could be material.

*Value-added tax receivables*

The Company incurs indirect taxes, including value-added tax, on purchases of goods and services at its operating mines and development project. Indirect tax balances are recorded at their estimated recoverable amounts within current or long-term assets, net of provisions, and reflect the Company's best estimate of their recoverability under existing tax rules in the respective jurisdictions in which they arise. Management's assessment of recoverability considers the probable outcomes and expected timing of claimed deductions and/or disputes. The provisions and balance sheet classifications made to date may be subject to change and such change may be material.

Long-term value-added tax receivables as at March 31, 2026 included amounts for the Fekola Mine of $257 million (December 31, 2025 - $244 million), for the Masbate Mine of $11 million (December 31, 2025 – $11 million), and for the Gramalote Project of $23 million (December 31, 2025 - $22 million).

*Current and deferred income taxes*

The Company is periodically required to estimate the tax basis of assets and liabilities. Where applicable tax laws and regulations are either unclear or subject to varying interpretations, it is possible that changes in these estimates could occur that materially affect the amounts of deferred income tax assets and liabilities recorded in the financial statements. Changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities generally have a direct impact on earnings in the period that the changes occur.

Each period, the Company evaluates the likelihood of whether some portion or all of each deferred tax asset will not be realized. This evaluation is based on historic and future expected levels of taxable income and the associated repatriation of retained earnings, the pattern and timing of reversals of taxable temporary timing differences that give rise to deferred tax liabilities, and tax planning initiatives. Levels of future taxable income are affected by, among other things, metal prices, production costs, quantities of proven and probable gold reserves, interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. The availability of retained earnings for distribution depends on future levels of taxable income as well as future reclamation expenditures, capital expenditures, dividends and other uses of available cash flow.

***Finland Properties***

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company entered into a process to sell its 70% interest in Fingold Ventures Ltd., which holds several claims in Northern Finland ("Finland Properties"). As this process was expected to conclude within 12 months, the Company classified the Finland Properties as held for sale in accordance with IFRS 5 *Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations,* on the Condensed Interim Consolidated Balance Sheet at March 31, 2026. Subsequent to March 31, 2026, on April 23, 2026, the Company announced it had closed the sale of its interest in the Finland Properties, to Agnico Eagle Mines Limited, in exchange for cash proceeds of $325 million. As the sales proceeds exceed the net book value of the Finland Properties at March 31, 2026 of $39 million, the Company has determined that the net book value of the Finland Properties is fully recoverable and no impairment has been recorded in connection with the reclassification.

***Convertible senior unsecured notes***

On January 28, 2025, the Company issued convertible senior unsecured notes ("the Notes") with an aggregate principal amount of $460 million. The Notes mature on February 1, 2030. The Notes are the Company's senior unsecured obligations and rank equally with all existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness. The Notes are effectively unsecured to all of the Company's existing and future secured indebtedness, including trade payables, to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such indebtedness. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company recognized interest charges of $8 million related to the Notes, net of $0 million capitalized to the construction of qualifying assets in the Condensed Interim Consolidated Statement of Operations (2025 - $0 million, net of $5 million capitalized to the construction of qualifying assets during the period).

***Revolving credit facility***

The Company has an $800 million revolving credit facility ("RCF") with a syndicate of international banks. The RCF allows for an accordion feature whereby upon receipt of additional binding commitments, the facility may be further increased to $1 billion any time prior to the maturity date of December 17, 2028. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company repaid $100 million and drew down $25 million on the on the RCF. As at March 31, 2026, the Company had available undrawn capacity of $725 million. The Company has provided security on the RCF in the form of a general security interest over the Company's assets and pledges creating a charge over the shares of certain of the Company's direct and indirect subsidiaries. In connection with the RCF, the Company must also maintain an interest coverage ratio greater than or equal to 3:1 for any fiscal quarter and a leverage ratio of less than 3.5:1 for any fiscal quarter. As at March 31, 2026, the Company was in compliance with these debt covenants. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company recognized interest charges of $2 million related to the RCF, net of $0 million capitalized to the construction of qualifying assets in the Condensed Interim Consolidated Statement of Operations (2025 - $1 million, net of $2 million capitalized to the construction of qualifying assets during the period). Subsequent to March 31, 2026, on April 24, 2026, the Company repaid the full outstanding $75 million balance on the RCF.

As at March 31, 2026, the Company's financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value are categorized as follows:

---

The Company's long-term investments consist of shares of publicly traded mining companies. The fair values of these were determined using market quotes from an active market for each investment.

The fair values of the Company's fuel and gold derivative contracts were determined using prevailing market rates for instruments with similar characteristics.

The fair value of the gold stream was calculated based on an income approach and a discounted cash flow model. The calculated fair value includes inputs that are based on observable market data, including forward gold price curves and credit adjusted risk-free rates. The fair value also includes inputs that are not based on observable market data, including the timing of future gold deliveries. The valuation has been prepared by an independent valuations specialist with direct oversight from the Company. Forward gold price estimates ranged from $4,681 to $6,054 per ounce. A $100 per ounce change in the gold forward price would have approximately a $6 million impact on the fair value of the gold stream obligation. A 50 basis point change in the discount rate would also have an approximately $8 million impact on the fair value of the gold stream obligation.

The fair value of the Notes, based on quoted market prices, is $744 million. The carrying amount of the Notes represents the liability component recorded at amortized costs (Note 11), while the fair value represents both the liability and equity components. The fair value of the Notes is categorized as level 1 in the fair value hierarchy outlined in IFRS 13 *Fair value measurement*. The fair value of the Company's other long-term debt approximates its carrying value as it has a floating interest rate and the Company's credit spread has remained approximately consistent. The fair value of the Company's other financial instruments approximates their carrying value due to their short-term nature.

***Credit risk***

The Company's maximum exposure to credit risk is the book value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, loans receivable and the carrying value of its derivative portfolio. The Company limits its credit exposure on cash and cash equivalents by holding its deposits mainly with high credit quality financial institutions as determined by credit rating agencies. The Company maintains its excess cash balances in short-term investments accounts. The Company does not maintain insurance for its cash balances.

**OVERVIEW**

B2Gold is a Vancouver-based gold producer with four operating mines: the Fekola Mine in Mali, the Goose Mine in Canada, the Masbate Mine in the Philippines and the Otjikoto Mine in Namibia. The Company also holds an approximately 29% interest in Versamet Royalties Corporation ("Versamet") and a portfolio of exploration and development projects in a number of countries including Canada, Mali, Colombia and Kazakhstan.

*Summary*

Consolidated gold revenue for the first quarter of 2026 was $1.16 billion on sales of 276,346 ounces at an average price of $4,193 per ounce compared to $0.53 billion on sales of 183,998 ounces at an average price of $2,892 per ounce in the first quarter of 2025. The increase in gold revenue of 118% ($0.63 billion) was attributable to a 45% increase in average realized gold price and a 50% increase in gold ounces sold due to higher production (including production from the Goose Mine) and a draw down of year-end inventory at the Fekola Mine. Consolidated gold revenue for the first quarter of 2026 includes $145 million ($2,195 per ounce sold) related to the delivery of 66,192 ounces under the Company's series of prepaid gold sales (the "Gold Prepay") obligations. Revenues received under the Gold Prepay contracts, entered into in January 2024, were initially deferred and are being recognized upon delivery of the underlying contract gold ounces over the period from July 2025 to June 2026.

For the first quarter of 2026, consolidated gold production was 237,763 ounces, 7% (14,900 ounces) higher than budget and 23% (45,011 ounces) higher compared to the first quarter of 2025. For the first quarter of 2026, production from the Fekola, Goose, Masbate and Otjikoto mines were 10% (10,203 ounces), 4% (1,551 ounces), 15% (6,820 ounces) and 10% (2,279 ounces) higher than budget, respectively (refer to "Review of Mining Operations and Development Projects" section below).

For the first quarter of 2026, consolidated cash operating costs<sup>1</sup> were $1,005 per gold ounce produced ($846 per gold ounce sold), $206 (17%) lower than budget but $173 (21%) per gold ounce produced higher than the first quarter of 2025. Cash operating costs per ounce produced for the first quarter of 2026 were lower than budget mainly as a result of higher than budgeted gold production.

Consolidated all-in sustaining costs<sup>2</sup> for the first quarter of 2026, were $1,964 per gold ounce sold compared to budget of $2,728 per gold ounce sold and $1,533 per gold ounce sold for the first quarter of 2025. Consolidated all-in sustaining costs for the first quarter of 2026 were below budget as a result of lower than budgeted production costs, higher than budgeted gold ounces sold and lower than budgeted sustaining capital expenditures. The lower sustaining capital expenditures were mainly a result of timing of expenditures and the majority of expenditures are expected to be caught up by the end of 2026.

The Company's operations continue to maintain normal levels of fuel supplies despite global challenges. Fuel supply at the Fekola Complex in Mali has been uninterrupted and remains at normal levels. The Company is in the process of expanding the Fekola Mine's diesel storage capabilities by approximately 20%. The fuel supply at the Goose Mine in Nunavut for 2026 was purchased during the third quarter of 2025 and delivery down the winter ice road was completed in April 2026. For the Masbate Mine in the Philippines, the Company has been able secure a guaranteed supply contract for the next three months. The Otjikoto Mine in Namibia draws power from the national grid and has significantly decreased its diesel consumption with the move to underground mining in the fourth quarter of 2025. The Company's solar projects at the Fekola, Masbate and Otjikoto mine's provide these operations with a source of power that is not impacted by changes in fuel prices. The Company has approximately 36% of its remaining 2026 fuel needs hedged at or below budget prices.

Consolidated gold production for 2026 is expected to be between 820,000 and 970,000 ounces. Consolidated cash operating cost guidance for the Fekola Complex, Masbate Mine, Goose Mine and Otjikoto Mine for 2026 is forecast to be between $1,155 and $1,280 per gold ounce and consolidated all-in sustaining cost guidance for the Fekola Complex, Masbate Mine, Goose Mine and Otjikoto Mine for 2026 is forecast to be between $2,400 and $2,580 per gold ounce, reflecting an investment in deferred stripping at the Fekola Mine and continued ramp-up of production at the Goose Mine. Consolidated all-in sustaining cost guidance is based on an assumed realised gold price of $5,000 per ounce for 2026, resulting in total budgeted royalties and production taxes of approximately $485 million or approximately $525 per ounce sold. Each $100 per ounce change in the gold price is expected to impact consolidated all-in sustaining costs per ounce sold by approximately $12 per ounce.

For the first quarter of 2026, the Company generated net income of $206 million compared to a net income of $63 million in the first quarter of 2025, including net income attributable to the shareholders of the Company of $200 million ($0.15 per share) in the first quarter of 2026 compared to net income attributable to the shareholders of the Company of $58 million ($0.04 per share) in the first quarter of 2025. Adjusted net income attributable to the shareholders of the Company (refer to "Non-IFRS Measures") for the first quarter of 2026 was $260 million ($0.19 per share) compared to adjusted net income of $122 million ($0.09 per share) in the first quarter of 2025. Adjusted net income in the first quarter of 2026 excluded a gain on dilution of an investment in associate of $24 million, a loss on change in fair value of the gold stream obligation of $19 million and unrealized gains on derivative instruments of $17 million.

------

Cash flow provided by operating activities was $539 million in the first quarter of 2026 compared to $179 million in the first quarter of 2025, an increase of $361 million due mainly to higher gold revenues partially offset by higher total production costs as a result of higher gold ounces sold in the first quarter of 2026. Cash income and withholding tax payments in the first quarter of 2026 totalled $31 million (first quarter of 2025 - $55 million). Cash income and withholding tax payments are expected to increase significantly in the second quarter of 2026 when final 2025 tax obligations are settled for the Masbate Mine and the Fekola Mine (including the State of Mali 20% priority dividend). Assuming an average gold price of $5,000 per ounce for 2026, total cash payments for current income tax, withholding and other taxes in 2026 are expected to be approximately $690 million, including estimated withholding taxes of $115 million on repatriation of funds through dividends from operating sites.

Free cash flow<sup>3</sup> for the first quarter of 2026 was $362 million compared to negative free cash flow of $7 million in the first quarter of 2025, an increase of $369 million due to higher cash flow provided by operating activities as a result of higher gold revenues and lower capital expenditures incurred due to lower capital expenditures at the Goose Mine following the declaration of commercial production at the start of the fourth quarter of 2025.

B2Gold continues to maintain a strong financial position and liquidity. At March 31, 2026, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $479 million (December 31, 2025 - $380 million) and working capital (defined as current assets less assets classified as held for sale and current liabilities) of $171 million (December 31, 2025 - $68 million). During the first quarter of 2026, the Company repaid a net $75 million on the Company's $800 million revolving credit facility ("RCF"), leaving $725 million remaining available for future draw downs. Subsequent to March 31, 2026, on April 24, 2026, the Company repaid the full outstanding $75 million balance on the RCF.

In the first quarter of 2026, the Company's Board of Directors ("Board") declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.02 per common share each (or an expected $0.08 per share on an annualized basis). The declaration and payment of future quarterly dividends remains at the sole discretion of the Board and will depend on the Company's financial results, cash requirements, future prospects and other factors deemed relevant by the Board.

On February 23, 2026, the Company announced that, as part of the Company's leadership succession planning, Mr. Clive Johnson has decided to retire from his role as President, Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and Director of the Company at the Annual General Meeting of the Company scheduled to be held on June 4, 2026. The Board of Directors has named Mike Cinnamond, Senior Vice President, Finance and Chief Financial Officer of B2Gold, to succeed Mr. Johnson as President and CEO effective June 4, 2026. Mr. Cinnamond will also replace Mr. Johnson on the Board of Directors. Michael McDonald, Vice President, Investor Relations, Corporate Development & Treasury, will succeed Mike Cinnamond as Chief Financial Officer of the Company effective June 4, 2026.

On April 1, 2026, the Company announced that the Toronto Stock Exchange accepted the notice of the Company's intention to renew its normal course issuer bid, which became effective on April 3, 2026 and will expire no later than April 2, 2027. The normal course issuer bid allows the Company to purchase up to 10% of its issued and outstanding common shares during the period. During the first quarter of 2026, the Company bought back 16 million shares for $80 million under the normal course issuer bid. Subsequent to March 31, 2026, the Company repurchased and cancelled an additional 4 million common shares for $18 million.

On April 17, 2026, the Company announced that a fire had occurred in certain areas of the crushing circuit at the Goose Mine in the evening of April 16, 2026. No injuries were reported and no medical treatment was required related to the fire. The fire damage was localized to the crushing circuit area. There was no damage or impact to the mill or power facility. A preliminary revised mill processing plan has been developed for the second quarter of 2026 based on the use of the existing mobile crushers to feed crushed ore directly to the fine ore stockpile while repairs to the crushing circuit related to the fire are completed. An additional mobile crusher has been sourced and is expected to be transported to site in the second quarter of 2026 to supplement the existing mobile crushers currently at the Goose Mine. The Company estimates that repairs will be completed in the third quarter of 2026 at a cost of approximately $7 million.

These repairs will coincide with first phase of the upgrades to the Goose Mine crushing circuit comprised of the previously announced addition of a run-of-mine bin and apron feeder, plus a new larger jaw crusher and rock breaker. These repairs are scheduled to be implemented in the third quarter of 2026. The total cost of the first phase of crushing circuit upgrades is expected to be approximately $11 million. B2Gold reiterates its previously disclosed estimate that the Goose Mine crushing circuit will be able to operate at an average daily capacity of approximately 3,200 tonnes per day by the end of the third quarter of 2026, as a result of the first phase of upgrades. Additionally, based on the studies conducted to date, the Company has identified a second phase of crushing circuit upgrades, that are scheduled to be implemented in the first half of 2027, in order to increase the name-plate capacity of the crushing circuit and enable it to run at an average rate of 4,000 tonnes per day. The total cost of the second phase of crushing circuit upgrades is anticipated to be between $20 million and $30 million, which will be further refined upon completion of detailed engineering that is already underway. The second phase of crusher upgrades include the installation of larger cone crushers, additional surge bins and feeders to optimize crusher performance and upgraded conveyors to support higher throughput. Upon completion of the first and second phase of the crusher upgrades noted above,

------

the Company expects crushing capacity will be increased to an average of 4,000 tonnes per day by the end of the first half of 2027.

On April 23, 2026, the Company announced that it had completed the sale of its 70% interest in Fingold Ventures Ltd., which holds several claims in Northern Finland, in exchange for $325 million in cash. In addition, B2Gold and Agnico Eagle Mines Limited have agreed to enter into a collaboration agreement related to their respective gold mining operations located in Nunavut, Canada. The Nunavut Collaboration Agreement is expected to establish a framework for the two companies to share operational knowledge and best practices across key areas, including mining and processing operations in arctic environments, logistics and procurement, operational planning, exploration planning, human resources, health and safety and environmental management. The Nunavut Collaboration Agreement is intended to enhance operational effectiveness while supporting responsible mining in Nunavut, reflecting both companies' shared commitment to continuous improvement, sustainability and constructive engagement and partnership with local communities and stakeholders.

***First quarter 2026 and 2025***

*Revenue*

Consolidated gold revenue for the first quarter of 2026 was $1.16 billion on sales of 276,346 ounces at an average price of $4,193 per ounce compared to $0.53 billion on sales of 183,998 ounces at an average price of $2,892 per ounce in the first quarter of 2025. The increase in gold revenue of 118% ($0.63 billion) was attributable to a 45% increase in average realized gold price and a 50% increase in gold ounces sold due to higher production (including production from the Goose Mine) and a draw down of year-end inventory at the Fekola Mine. Consolidated gold revenue for the first quarter of 2026 includes $145 million ($2,195 per ounce sold) related to the delivery of 66,192 ounces under the Company's Gold Prepay obligations. Commencing on July 31, 2025, the Company started delivery of ounces under its Gold Prepay obligations which require the Company to deliver 22,064 ounces per month until June 2026 to satisfy delivery of the total Gold Prepay obligation of 264,768 ounces in full. During this period, revenue recognized for the Gold Prepay ounces will total $580 million, reflecting the average gold forward price of $2,191 per ounce realized at the inception of the Gold Prepay. The ounces to be delivered may be sourced from any of the Company's operations.

In the first quarter of 2026, the Fekola Mine accounted for $0.73 billion (first quarter of 2025 - $0.25 billion) of gold revenue from the sale of 152,356 ounces (first quarter of 2025 - 87,808 ounces), the Goose Mine accounted for $0.22 billion (first quarter of

------

2025 - $nil) of gold revenue from the sale of 44,445 ounces (first quarter of 2025 - nil), the Masbate Mine accounted for $0.23 billion (first quarter of 2025 - $0.13 billion) of gold revenue from the sale of 46,926 ounces (first quarter of 2025 - 44,450 ounces) and the Otjikoto Mine accounted for $0.16 billion (first quarter of 2025 - $0.15 billion) of gold revenue from the sale of 32,619 ounces (first quarter of 2025 - 51,740 ounces).

*Production and operating costs*

For the first quarter of 2026, consolidated gold production was 237,763 ounces, 7% (14,900 ounces) higher than budget and 23% (45,011 ounces) higher compared to the first quarter of 2025. For the first quarter of 2026, production from the Fekola, Goose, Masbate and Otjikoto mines were 10% (10,203 ounces), 4% (1,551 ounces), 15% (6,820 ounces) and 10% (2,279 ounces) higher than budget, respectively (refer to "Review of Mining Operations and Development Projects" section below).

For the first quarter of 2026, cash operating costs (refer to "Non-IFRS Measures") were $1,005 per gold ounce produced ($846 per gold ounce sold), $206 (17%) lower than budget but $173 (21%) per gold ounce produced higher than the first quarter of 2025. Cash operating costs per ounce produced for the first quarter of 2026 were lower than budget mainly as a result of higher than budgeted gold production.

Consolidated all-in sustaining costs<sup>4</sup> for the first quarter of 2026 were $1,964 per gold ounce sold compared to budget of $2,728 per gold ounce sold and $1,533 per gold ounce sold for the first quarter of 2025. All-in sustaining costs for the first quarter of 2026 were below budget as a result of lower than budgeted production costs, higher than budgeted gold ounces sold and lower than budgeted sustaining capital expenditures. The lower sustaining capital expenditures were mainly a result of timing of expenditures and the majority of expenditures are expected to be caught up by the end of 2026.

*Depreciation and depletion*

Depreciation and depletion expense included in total cost of sales was $161 million in the first quarter of 2026, which was 80% higher than the first quarter of 2025 due to 50% higher gold ounces sold first quarter of 2026, and an approximately 21% increase in the depreciation rate per gold ounce sold. Depreciation per gold ounce sold was higher due to the impact of depreciation of the Goose Mine which entered commercial production at the beginning of the fourth quarter of 2025.

*Royalties and production taxes*

Royalties and production taxes included in total cost of sales were $154 million for the first quarter of 2026 compared to $43 million for the first quarter of 2025. The 259% increase in royalties and production taxes was due to a 45% increase in the average realized gold price, higher sales at the Fekola Mine in first quarter of 2026, and higher revenue-based production taxes and State of Mali funds applicable to the Fekola Mine, which became effective in March 2025.

*Other* 

General and administrative ("G&A") costs relate primarily to the Company's head office in Vancouver, the Bamako office in Mali, the Makati office in the Philippines and the Windhoek office in Namibia. G&A for the first quarter of 2026 was $17 million, which was 42% higher than the first quarter of 2025 due to higher salary costs, higher bank charges in Mali on cash repatriation and increased software costs.

Share-based payment expense for the first quarter of 2026 was $9 million, an increase of $3 million over the first quarter of 2025 as a result of higher expenses related to the Company's performance share unit plan.

The Company reported $10 million in foreign exchange losses for the first quarter of 2026 compared to foreign exchange gains of $7 million in the first quarter of 2025 reflecting higher losses on cash repatriation from Mali in the first quarter of 2026.

For the first quarter of 2026, other operating expenses totalled $8 million, which included $3 million for non-capital exploration and $2 million for losses on disposal of fixed assets.

The Company reported $18 million in interest and financing expense during the first quarter of 2026 which was approximately $13 million higher than first quarter of 2025 primarily due to less interest capitalized to the construction of qualifying assets in the first quarter of 2026. The Company reported interest income of $3 million in the first quarter of 2026 which was approximately in line with the first quarter of 2025.

The Company recorded losses on derivative instruments of $54 million for the first quarter of 2026 compared to $43 million in the first quarter of 2025. The losses for the first quarter of 2026 primarily consist of realized losses of $70 million and unrealized losses of $8 million on the Company's gold collars partially offset by an unrealized gain of $24 million on the Company's fuel derivatives.

The Company reported a loss on change in fair value of the gold stream obligation of $19 million for the first quarter of 2026 resulting from increases in long-term gold price assumptions compared to a loss on change in fair value of the gold stream obligation of $31 million for the first quarter of 2025.

For the first quarter of 2026, the Company recorded a net current income and other tax expense of $214 million, compared to $86 million in the first quarter of 2025, consisting of current income tax of $159 million (Q1 2025 - $69 million), the 20% priority dividend to the State of Mali of $51 million (Q1 2025 - $13 million), and withholding tax (on intercompany dividends and management fees) of $4 million (Q1 2025 - $4 million). The priority dividend is accounted for as an income tax in accordance with IAS 12, Income Taxes. Compared to the first quarter of 2025, current tax expense in the first quarter of 2026 was $90 million higher mainly as a result of higher taxable income in the first quarter of 2026. The priority dividend was $38 million higher for the same reason. For the first quarter of 2026, the Company recorded a deferred income tax expense of $82 million compared to a deferred income tax recovery of $16 million in the first quarter of 2025. The higher deferred income tax expense in the first quarter of 2026 is due to higher temporary differences between accounting and taxable income, higher foreign exchange impacts and higher future withholding tax estimates.

For the first quarter of 2026, the Company generated net income of $206 million compared to $63 million in the first quarter of 2025, including net income attributable to the shareholders of the Company of $200 million ($0.15 per share) in the first quarter of 2026 compared to $58 million ($0.04 per share) in the first quarter of 2025. Adjusted net income attributable to the shareholders of the Company (refer to "Non-IFRS Measures") for the first quarter of 2026 was $260 million ($0.19 per share) compared to adjusted net income of $122 million ($0.09 per share) in the first quarter of 2025. Adjusted net income in the first quarter of 2026 excluded a gain on dilution of an investment in associate of $24 million, a loss on change in fair value of the gold stream obligation of $19 million and unrealized losses on derivative instruments of $17 million.

Cash flow provided by operating activities was $539 million in the first quarter of 2026 compared to cash flow provided by operating activities of $179 million in the first quarter of 2025, an increase of $361 million due mainly to higher gold revenues partially offset by higher total production costs as a result of higher gold ounces sold in the first quarter of 2026. Cash income and withholding tax payments in the first quarter of 2026 totalled $31 million (first quarter of 2025 - $55 million). Cash income and withholding tax payments are expected to increase significantly in the second quarter of 2026 when final 2025 tax obligations are settled for the Masbate Mine and the Fekola Mine (including the State of Mali 20% priority dividend). Assuming an average gold price of $5,000 per ounce for 2026, total cash payments for current income tax, withholding and other taxes in 2026 are expected to be approximately $690 million, including estimated withholding taxes of $115 million on repatriation of funds through dividends from operating sites.

*(1) Non-IFRS measure. For a description of how these measures are calculated and a reconciliation of these measures to the most directly comparable measures specified, defined or determined under IFRS and presented in the Company's financial statements, refer to "Non-IFRS Measures".*

The Fekola Complex is comprised of the Fekola Mine (Medinandi permit hosting the Fekola and Cardinal open pits and Fekola underground), owned 80% by B2Gold and 20% by the State of Mali, and Fekola Regional (Anaconda Area comprised of the consolidated Menankoto permit and the Dandoko permit), which will be owned 65% by B2Gold and 35% by the State of Mali.

------

Fekola Regional is located approximately 20 kilometers from the Fekola Mine. Delays in the receipt of the Fekola Regional exploitation permit resulted in no mining activity from Fekola Regional in the first quarter of 2026.

For the first quarter of 2026, production from the Fekola Mine was 117,450 ounces of gold, 10% (10,203 ounces) above budget and 25% (23,645 ounces) higher than the first quarter of 2025. Gold production was higher than budget due to higher throughput and higher than the first quarter of 2025 due to both higher throughput and higher grade. Gold sales for the first quarter of 2026 were significantly higher than production due to the timing of refinery shipments and the draw down of 2025 year-end inventory levels. For the first quarter of 2026, mill feed grade was 1.56 grams per tonne ("g/t") compared to budget of 1.66 g/t and 1.31 g/t in the first quarter of 2025; mill throughput was 2.55 million tonnes compared to budget of 2.18 million tonnes and 2.45 million tonnes in the first quarter of 2025; and gold recovery averaged 91.7% compared to budget of 92.0% and 91.5% in the first quarter of 2025.

The Fekola Mine's cash operating costs (refer to "*Non-IFRS Measures*") for the first quarter of 2026 were $950 per ounce produced ($729 per gold ounce sold) compared to a budget of $953 per ounce produced and $965 per ounce produced for the first quarter of 2025. Cash operating costs per ounce produced for the first quarter of 2026 were approximately in line with budget as higher than budgeted gold production was mostly offset by higher than budgeted mining costs resulting from changes in the mining sequence. Compared to the first quarter of 2025, cash operating costs per ounce produced for the first quarter of 2026 were $15 (2%) lower due primarily to higher gold production in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the first quarter of 2025.

All-in sustaining costs (refer to "*Non-IFRS Measures*") for the first quarter of 2026 were $1,955 per gold ounce sold compared to a budget of $2,509 per gold ounce sold and $1,937 per gold ounce sold in the first quarter of 2025. All-in sustaining costs for the first quarter of 2026 were $554 (22%) per gold ounce sold lower than budget due to higher gold ounces sold (42% or 45,109 ounces higher), lower than budgeted sustaining capital expenditures and a slightly lower than budgeted royalties expense per ounce sold due to a lower than budgeted realized gold price. The lower sustaining capital expenditures for the first quarter of 2026 were mainly a result of timing of expenditures and are expected to be incurred later in 2026.

Capital expenditures for the Fekola Mine in the first quarter of 2026 totalled $47 million primarily consisting of $25 million for deferred stripping, $9 million for mobile equipment rebuilds and $5 million for Fekola underground development. Capital expenditures for Fekola Regional in the first quarter of 2026 totalled $16 million, primarily related to mobile equipment purchases.

The Fekola Complex is expected to produce between 410,000 and 460,000 ounces of gold in 2026 at cash operating costs of between $1,060 and $1,160 per ounce produced and all-in sustaining costs of between $2,670 and $2,820 per ounce sold. Fekola Regional is budgeted to contribute between 60,000 and 80,000 ounces to the Fekola Complex gold production in 2026 through the trucking of open pit ore to the Fekola mill, once the exploitation permit has been received. The Company expects to meet the Fekola Complex production guidance range for the year, provided that an exploitation permit for Fekola Regional is received by June 30, 2026. All-in sustaining cost guidance for the Fekola Complex is based on an assumed realised gold price of $5,000 per ounce for 2026, resulting in total budgeted royalties and production taxes of approximately $410 million or approximately $910 per ounce sold. Each $100 per ounce change in the gold price is expected to impact the Fekola Complex all-in sustaining costs by approximately $23 per ounce.

The Back River Gold District in Canada consists of eleven mineral claims blocks along an 80 kilometre belt and contains the most advanced project in the district, the 100% owned Goose Mine.

B2Gold acknowledges our partner the Kitikmeot Inuit Association ("KIA"), who has played a critical role for many years to ensure the development of a successful gold mining operation at the Goose Mine. Respect and collaboration with the KIA is central to the license to operate in the Back River Gold District and the Company will continue to prioritize developing the District in a manner that recognizes Inuit priorities, addresses concerns and brings long-term socio-economic benefits to the Kitikmeot Region. B2Gold looks forward to continuing to build on its strong collaboration with the KIA and Kitikmeot communities. With its significant gold resource endowment, the Back River Gold District is expected to be a large, long life mining complex.

For the first quarter of 2026, production from the Goose Mine was 42,876 ounces of gold, 4% (1,551 ounces) above budget. Gold production in the first quarter was higher than budget as a result of higher than budget ore grade and higher gold recovery which more than offset lower than budget mill throughput. For the first quarter of 2026, mill feed grade was 7.92 g/t compared to budget of 6.42 g/t; mill throughput was 0.18 million tonnes compared to budget of 0.22 million tonnes; and gold recovery averaged 93.5% compared to budget of 92.5%.

The Goose Mine's cash operating costs (refer to "Non-IFRS Measures") for the first quarter of 2026 were $1,653 per gold ounce produced ($1,446 per gold ounce sold), compared to budget of $1,972 per ounce produced. Cash operating costs per ounce produced for the first quarter of 2026 were lower than budget due to lower than budget underground mining costs and site general costs.

All-in sustaining costs (refer to "Non-IFRS Measures") for the first quarter of 2026 were $2,806 per gold ounce sold compared to a budget of $3,887 per gold ounce sold. All-in sustaining costs for the first quarter of 2026 were $1,081 (28%) per gold ounce sold lower than budget due to higher gold ounces sold and lower than budgeted sustaining capital expenditures. The lower sustaining capital expenditures for the first quarter of 2026 were mainly a result of timing of expenditures and are expected to be incurred later in 2026. Higher than budgeted gold ounces sold in the first quarter of 2026 were the result of both higher production and shipment timing.

Capital expenditures in the first quarter of 2026 totalled $71 million primarily consisting of $23 million for ongoing site construction activities, $17 million for deferred stripping, $10 million for Umwelt underground development, $11 million for site infrastructure and civil projects, and approximately $3 million for mobile equipment purchases.

On April 17, 2026, the Company announced that a fire had occurred in certain areas of the crushing circuit at the Goose Mine in the evening of April 16, 2026. No injuries were reported and no medical treatment was required related to the fire. The fire damage was localized to the crushing circuit area. There was no damage or impact to the mill or power facility. A preliminary revised mill processing plan has been developed for the second quarter of 2026 based on the use of the existing mobile crushers to feed crushed ore directly to the fine ore stockpile while repairs to the crushing circuit related to the fire are completed. An additional mobile crusher has been sourced and is expected to be transported to site in the second quarter of 2026 to

------

supplement the existing mobile crushers currently at the Goose Mine. The Company estimates that repairs will be completed in the third quarter of 2026 at a cost of approximately $7 million.

These repairs will coincide with first phase of the upgrades to the Goose Mine crushing circuit comprised of the previously announced addition of a run-of-mine bin and apron feeder, plus a new larger jaw crusher and rock breaker. These repairs are scheduled to be implemented in the third quarter of 2026. The total cost of the first phase of crushing circuit upgrades is expected to be approximately $11 million. B2Gold reiterates its previously disclosed estimate that the Goose Mine crushing circuit will be able to operate at an average daily capacity of approximately 3,200 tonnes per day by the end of the third quarter of 2026, as a result of the first phase of upgrades. Additionally, based on the studies conducted to date, the Company has identified a second phase of crushing circuit upgrades, that are scheduled to be implemented in the first half of 2027, in order to increase the name-plate capacity of the crushing circuit and enable it to run at an average rate of 4,000 tonnes per day. The total cost of the second phase of crushing circuit upgrades is anticipated to be between $20 million and $30 million, which will be further refined upon completion of detailed engineering that is already underway. The second phase of crusher upgrades include the installation of larger cone crushers, additional surge bins and feeders to optimize crusher performance and upgraded conveyors to support higher throughput.

The Goose Mine in Canada is expected to produce between 170,000 and 230,000 ounces of gold in 2026, at cash operating costs of between $1,610 and $1,810 per ounce and all-in sustaining costs of between $2,670 and $2,970 per ounce. All-in sustaining cost guidance for the Goose Mine is based on an assumed realized gold price of $5,000 per ounce for 2026, resulting in total budgeted royalties and production taxes of approximately $16 million, or approximately $75 per ounce sold. Due to the impact to the crushing circuit related to the fire, production in the second quarter is expected to continue at a lower level than previously anticipated due to lower throughput rates of crushed ore. The previous internal forecast for gold production at the Goose Mine was approximately 29,000 ounces in the second quarter of 2026. The Company now forecasts gold production for the second quarter of 2026 of between 18,000 to 20,000 ounces, a reduction of approximately 10,000 ounces. Over the medium-term, B2Gold still expects gold production to average 300,000 ounces per year at the Goose Mine. The Company reiterates its full year gold production guidance for the Goose Mine of 170,000 to 230,000 ounces in 2026. The Company estimates that the impact of lower availability of crushed ore as a result of the fire will be limited to the second quarter of 2026, and that availability of crushed ore in the second half of 2026 will not change from previous estimates. Upon completion of the first and second phase of the crusher upgrades noted above, the Company expects crushing capacity will be increased to an average of 4,000 tonnes per day by the end of the first half of 2027. Cash operating costs and all-in sustaining costs are forecast to drop significantly once the operation is ramped up to full production capacity.

*Goose Mine Opportunities*

On April 20, 2026, the Company announced that B2Gold and Agnico Eagle Mines Limited have agreed to enter into a collaboration agreement related to their respective gold mining operations located in Nunavut, Canada. The Nunavut Collaboration Agreement is expected to establish a framework for the two companies to share operational knowledge and best practices across key areas, including mining and processing operations in arctic environments, logistics and procurement, operational planning, exploration planning, human resources, health and safety and environmental management. The Nunavut Collaboration Agreement is intended to enhance operational effectiveness while supporting responsible mining in Nunavut, reflecting both companies' shared commitment to continuous improvement, sustainability and constructive engagement and partnership with local communities and stakeholders.

Significant exploration potential remains across the Back River Gold District, with a total of $46 million budgeted for exploration in 2026. The Company's exploration programs have historically been successful in upgrading Inferred Mineral Resources to Indicated Mineral Resources, and the Company is optimistic that it can successfully upgrade a significant portion of the Inferred Mineral Resources in 2026.

In addition, work continues on the optimization study for the Goose Mine as previously announced in March 2025, including the potential installation of a SAG mill to be paired in conjunction with the existing 4,000 tonnes per day ball mill, which could expand mill throughput capacity up to 6,000 tonnes per day. These studies are expected also expected to reflect two additional value drivers for the Goose Mine related to the potential reduction in carbon taxes paid over the life of the mine, and a reduction in the annual amount of fuel consumed as a result of equipment optimizations.

Once these studies are finalised the Company will assess the economics of each option and pursue the desired choice. This assessment is expected to include consideration of whether the Company should postpone any expenditures to increase Goose Mine milling capacity in favour of potential future capital development at the George Project and other Back River Gold District regional targets.

In connection with these studies, B2Gold will also be reviewing any regulatory requirements and engaging with the KIA and local communities to ensure any proposed optimization of the Goose Mine provides benefits to all stakeholders.

The Masbate Mine in the Philippines continued its strong performance with the first quarter of 2026 gold production of 52,908 ounces, above budget by 15% (6,820 ounces) and 14% (6,539 ounces) higher than the first quarter of 2025. Gold production in the first quarter of 2026 was higher than both budget and the first quarter of 2025 primarily as a result of higher grade due to favourable grade variance in ore mined from the Main Vein and Blue Quartz pits. For the first quarter of 2026, mill feed grade was 0.95 g/t compared to budget of 0.85 g/t and 0.83 g/t in the first quarter of 2025; mill throughput was 2.29 million tonnes compared to budget of 2.11 million tonnes and 2.28 million tonnes in the first quarter of 2025; and gold recovery averaged 75.6% compared to budget of 79.7% and 75.9% in the first quarter of 2025.

The Masbate Mine's cash operating costs (refer to *"Non-IFRS Measures"*) for the first quarter of 2026 were $656 per ounce produced ($620 per gold ounce sold) compared to a budget of $948 per ounce produced and $833 per ounce produced for the first quarter of 2025. Cash operating costs per ounce produced for the first quarter of 2026 were $292 (31%) per ounce produced lower than budget as a result of higher than budgeted gold production as well as lower operating costs due primarily to lower than budgeted mining costs and processing costs.

All-in sustaining costs (refer to *"Non-IFRS Measures"*) for the first quarter of 2026 were $1,254 per gold ounce sold compared to a budget of $1,540 per gold ounce sold and $1,206 per gold ounce sold in the first quarter of 2025. All-in sustaining costs for the first quarter of 2026 were $286 (19%) per gold ounce sold lower than budget as a result of lower than budgeted production costs per gold ounce sold.

Capital expenditures in the first quarter of 2026 totalled $16 million, primarily consisting of $9 million in mobile equipment purchases and rebuilds, $2 million for the solar plant, and $2 million for tailings storage facility construction projects.

The Masbate Mine in the Philippines is expected to produce between 170,000 and 190,000 ounces of gold in 2026 at cash operating costs of between $900 and $1,000 per ounce produced and all-in sustaining costs of between $1,430 and $1,580 per ounce sold. Gold production at Masbate is expected to be relatively consistent throughout 2026. All-in sustaining cost guidance for the Masbate Mine is based on an assumed realised gold price of $5,000 per ounce for 2026, resulting in total budgeted royalties and production taxes of approximately $45 million or approximately $240 per ounce sold.

The Otjikoto Mine in Namibia, in which the Company holds a 90% interest, produced 24,529 ounces of gold in the first quarter of 2026, above budget by 10% (2,279 ounces) but 53% (28,049 ounces) lower compared to the first quarter of 2025. The higher than budget production in the first quarter of 2026 was primarily due to higher than budgeted average ore grade partially offset by slightly lower than budgeted throughput due to some mill repairs in the period. Production for the first quarter of 2026 was lower than the first quarter of 2025 due to lower grades as a result of the completion of open pit mining in the fourth quarter of 2025. For the first quarter of 2026, mill feed grade was 1.06 g/t compared to budget of 0.85 g/t and 1.96 g/t in the first quarter of 2025; mill throughput was 0.74 million tonnes compared to budget of 0.84 million tonnes and 0.84 million tonnes in the first quarter of 2025; and gold recovery averaged 98.1% compared to budget of 97.4% and 98.8% in the first quarter of 2025.

Cash operating costs (refer to *"Non-IFRS Measures"*) for the first quarter of 2026 were $896 per gold ounce produced ($903 per ounce gold sold), compared to a budget of $1,153 per ounce produced and $594 per ounce produced for the first quarter of 2025. Cash operating costs per ounce produced for the first quarter of 2026 were $257 (22%) per ounce produced lower than budget as a result of higher than budgeted gold production and lower than budgeted underground mining costs. Compared to the first quarter of 2025, cash operating costs per ounce produced for the first quarter of 2026 were $302 (51%) higher due primarily to the lower production in the first quarter of 2026.

All-in sustaining costs (refer to *"Non-IFRS Measures"*) for the first quarter of 2026 were $1,327 per gold ounce sold, $449 (25%) per gold ounce sold lower than budget as a result of lower than budgeted cash costs per ounce sold and lower than budgeted sustaining capital expenditures. The lower than budgeted sustaining capital expenditures for the first quarter of 2026 were mainly a result of timing of expenditures and are expected to be incurred later in 2026.

Capital expenditures for the first quarter of 2026 totalled $7 million, consisting mainly of $4 million for Antelope development and $3 million for Wolfshag underground development.

The Otjikoto Mine in Namibia is expected to produce between 70,000 and 90,000 ounces of gold in 2026 at cash operating costs of between $1,200 and $1,300 per ounce produced and all-in sustaining costs of between $1,830 and $1,980 per ounce sold. All-in sustaining cost guidance for the Otjikoto Mine is based on an assumed realised gold price of $5,000 per ounce for 2026, resulting in total budgeted royalties and production taxes of approximately $17 million or approximately $200 per ounce sold.

***Gramalote Project - Colombia***

The Gramalote Project is located in central Colombia, approximately 230 kilometre northwest of Bogota and 100 kilometre northeast of Medellin, in the Province of Antioquia, which has expressed a positive attitude towards the development of responsible mining projects in the region. Following consolidation of the ownership in 2023, B2Gold completed a detailed review of the Gramalote Project, including the higher-grade core of the resource, facility size and location, power supply, mining and processing options, tailings design, resettlement, potential construction sequencing and camp design to identify potential cost savings to develop a medium-scale project.

------

On July 14, 2025, the Company announced the results of a 2025 Gramalote Feasibility study which demonstrated that the Gramalote Project has a meaningful production profile, favorable metallurgical characteristics and positive project economics. The study assumes a mill with an annual processing rate of 6.0 million tonnes per annum, an initial open pit mine life of 11 years, and a processing life of 13 years. The study shows average annual grade processed over the first five years of 1.23 g/t, with a life of mine grade of 0.96 g/t and average annual gold production over the first five years of 227,000 ounces of gold per year, with life of mine average annual gold production of 177,000 ounces per year. Financial results include all-in sustaining costs of $985 per ounce over the life of the project, with an after-tax net present value of $941 million and an internal rate of return of 22.4% assuming a $2,500 per ounce gold price. A long-term gold price assumption of $3,300 per ounce results in an after-tax net present value of $1,716 million and an internal rate of return of 33.5%.

Due to the desired modifications to the processing plant and infrastructure locations, a Modified Work Plan and Modified Environment Impact Study are required. The Modified Work Plan was submitted in December 2025 and the Modified Environmental Impact Study was submitted in March 2026, with completion of the modification process expected to take approximately twelve months. In conjunction with these permit modifications, resettlement construction is under way and the Company expects to complete a significant portion of its resettlement objectives by the end of 2026, in accordance with its existing resettlement plan. Assessment and optimization of the Gramalote Project remains ongoing.

The Gramalote Project has a budget of $61 million for 2026, to continue to de-risk the project, including $35 million to advance resettlement programs, establish coexistence programs for small miners, work on health, safety and environmental projects and continue to work with the government and local communities on social programs.

**LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES**

B2Gold continues to maintain a strong financial position and liquidity. At March 31, 2026, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $479 million (December 31, 2025 - $380 million) and working capital (defined as current assets less assets classified as held for sale and current liabilities) of $171 million (December 31, 2025 - $68 million). During the first quarter of 2025, the Company repaid a net $75 million on the Company's $800 million RCF, leaving $725 million remaining available for future draw downs. Subsequent to March 31, 2026, on April 24, 2026, the Company repaid the full outstanding $75 million balance on the RCF.

In January 2024, B2Gold entered into a series Gold Prepay contracts with a number of its existing lenders. The Company received an upfront payment of $500 million, based on gold forward curve prices averaging approximately $2,191 per ounce, in exchange for equal monthly deliveries of gold from July 2025 to June 2026 totaling 264,768 ounces. Gold deliveries can be from production from any of the Company's operating mines and the Gold Prepay contracts can be settled prior to maturity through accelerated delivery of the remaining deliverable gold ounces. The Gold Prepay contracts were executed by Bank of Montreal, Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, ING Capital Markets LLC, and National Bank of Canada. As at March 31, 2026, the Company had 66,192 ounces remaining to be delivered into the Gold Prepay contracts, all of which will be delivered in the second quarter of 2026.

The Company has a RCF with a syndicate of international banks for an aggregate amount of $800 million, plus a $200 million accordion feature. Draw downs on the RCF can be in either United States or Canadian dollars. The RCF bears interest on a sliding scale based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") or the Canadian Overnight Repo Rate Average ("CORRA") plus term credit spread adjustment in addition to a sliding scale premium between 1.88% to 2.50% based on the Company's net leverage ratio. Commitment fees for the undrawn portion of the facility are also on a sliding scale basis between 0.42% and 0.563% based on the Company's net leverage ratio. The term of the RCF is four years, maturing on December 17, 2028. The Company has provided security on the RCF in the form of a general security interest over the Company's assets and pledges creating a charge over the shares of certain of the Company's direct and indirect subsidiaries. In connection with the RCF, the Company must also maintain certain ratios for leverage and interest coverage. As at March 31, 2026, the Company was in compliance with these debt covenants.

On January 28, 2025, the Company issued convertible senior unsecured notes (the "Notes") with an aggregate principal amount of $460 million. The Notes bear interest at a rate of 2.75% per annum, payable semi-annually on February 1st and August 1st of each year commencing from August 1, 2025. The Notes mature on February 1, 2030. The initial conversion rate for the Notes is 315.2088 Shares per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $3.17 per Share. The initial conversion rate represented a premium of approximately 35% relative to closing sale price of the Shares on January 23, 2025 and is subject to adjustment in certain events, including redemption of the Notes by the Company. B2Gold has the right to redeem the Notes in certain circumstances and holders have the right to require B2Gold to repurchase their Notes upon the occurrence of certain events. The Notes are our senior unsecured obligations and rank equally with all of our existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness. The Notes are effectively subordinated to all of the Company's existing and future secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such indebtedness. The Notes will be structurally subordinated to all existing and future liabilities, including trade payables, of the Company's subsidiaries.

The Company has a gold stream arrangement with Wheaton Precious Metals Corp. with a deposit amount of $84 million. The delivery obligation is as follows:

------

• 2.7805% of gold production up to delivery of 87,100 oz;

• 1.4405% of gold production up to an aggregate of 134,000 oz; and

• 1.005% of gold production thereafter.

The Company has guaranteed any remaining portion of the gold stream deposit amount not satisfied by delivery of ounces.

For the first quarter of 2026, capital expenditures totalled $178 million. The most significant capital expenditures were Fekola Mine expenditures of $47 million, Goose Mine expenditures of $71 million, Masbate Mine expenditures of $16 million, Otjikoto Mine expenditures of $7 million, Gramalote Project expenditures of $9 million, and Fekola Regional expenditures of $16 million. Other exploration costs for the first quarter of 2026 totalled $12 million.

As at March 31, 2026, the Company had the following commitments (in addition to those disclosed elsewhere in the MD&A):

• For payments at the Fekola Mine of $32 million for mobile purchases and rebuilds, and $3 million for other capital expenditures, all of which expected to be incurred in 2026.

• For payments at the Goose Mine of $17 million related to mobile equipment purchases, $10 million related to site infrastructure and civil projects, and $6 million for other capital expenditures, all of which expected to be incurred in 2026.

• For payments at the Masbate Mine of $2 million related to solar plant construction, all of which is expected to be incurred in 2026.

• For payments of $19 million at the Gramalote Project for resettlement programs of which $17 million is expected to be incurred in 2026 and $2 million is expect to be incurred in 2027.

***Derivative financial instruments***

*Gold collars*

During the year ended December 31, 2024, as a requirement of the RCF, the Company entered into a series of 1:1 zero-cost put/call collar contracts for gold with settlement between February 2025 and January 2027. These derivative instruments were not designated as hedges by the Company and were recorded at fair value through profit and loss ("FVTPL").

The following is a summary, by maturity dates, of the Company's gold derivative contracts outstanding as at March 31, 2026:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
|  | ***2026*** | ***2027*** | ***Total*** |
| Ounces | 149732 | 16637 | 166369 |
| Average floor price | $2450 | $2450 | $2450 |
| Average ceiling price | $3294 | $3294 | $3294 |

---

The unrealized fair value of these contracts at March 31, 2026 was $(242) million.

*Forward contracts - fuel oil, gas oil, diesel*

The Company uses forward contracts for fuel oil, gas oil and diesel to manage the risk of volatility in the Company's future operating costs. The Company reviews the open positions and the potential for additional forward contracts on an ongoing basis. The Company's fuel derivative instruments were not designated as hedges and are being recorded at FVTPL.

The following is a summary, by maturity dates, of the Company's fuel derivative contracts outstanding as at March 31, 2026:

***Operating activities***

Cash flow provided by operating activities was $539 million in the first quarter of 2026 compared to $179 million in the first quarter of 2025, an increase of $361 million due mainly to higher gold revenues in the first quarter of 2026 partially offset by higher total production costs as a result of higher gold ounces sold in the first quarter of 2026. Cash income and withholding tax payments in the first quarter of 2026 totalled $31 million (first quarter of 2025 - $55 million). Cash income and withholding tax payments are expected to increase significantly in the second quarter of 2026 when final 2025 tax obligations are settled for the Masbate Mine and the Fekola Mine (including the State of Mali 20% priority dividend). Assuming an average gold price of $5,000 per ounce for 2026, total cash payments for current income tax, withholding and other taxes in 2026 are expected to be approximately $690 million, including estimated withholding taxes of $115 million on repatriation of funds through dividends from operating sites.

***Financing activities***

During the first quarter of 2026, the Company repaid net $75 million on the RCF, bought back $80 million of shares under the normal course issuer bid, made dividend payments of $26 million, made principal payments on lease arrangements of $7 million, distributed $12 million to non-controlling interests, made interest and commitment fee payments of $9 million, and made equipment loan facility repayments of $2 million.

During the first quarter of 2026, the Board declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.02 per common share each (or an expected $0.08 per share on an annualized basis). Returning capital to shareholders remains a foundational element of the Company's capital allocation philosophy. The declaration and payment of future dividends and the amount of any such dividends will be subject to the determination of the Board, in its sole and absolute discretion, taking into account, among other things, economic conditions, business performance, financial condition, growth plans, expected capital requirements, compliance with B2Gold's constating documents, all applicable laws, including the rules and policies of any applicable stock exchange, as well as any contractual restrictions on such dividends, including any agreements entered into with lenders to the Company, and any other factors that the Board deems appropriate at the relevant time. There can be no assurance that any dividends will be paid at the revised intended rate or at all in the future.

The Company has a dividend reinvestment plan ("DRIP"). The DRIP provides B2Gold shareholders residing in Canada and the United States with the opportunity to have the cash dividends declared on all or some of their common shares automatically reinvested into Reinvestment Shares on an ongoing basis. Participation in the DRIP is optional and will not affect shareholders' cash dividends unless they elect to participate in the DRIP. Dividends are only payable as and when declared by the Company's Board of Directors. The benefits of enrolling in the DRIP include the convenience of automatic reinvestment of dividends into Reinvestment Shares; flexibility to enroll some or all common shares in the DRIP; and ability to acquire Reinvestment Shares without paying any brokerage fees. Participants in the DRIP will acquire Reinvestment Shares issued from a Treasury Purchase at a price equal to the volume weighted average price of the Company's common shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange for the five consecutive trading days immediately preceding a dividend payment date, subject to a possible discount, in the Company's sole discretion, of up to 5%. For the dividends declared to date in 2026, no discount was offered.

This dividend is designated as an "eligible dividend" for the purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada). Dividends paid by B2Gold to shareholders outside Canada (non-resident investors) will be subject to Canadian non-resident withholding taxes.

On April 1, 2026, the Company announced that the Toronto Stock Exchange accepted the notice of the Company's intention to renew its normal course issuer bid, which became effective on April 3, 2026 and will expire no later than April 2, 2027. The normal course issuer bid allows the Company to purchase up to 10% of its issued and outstanding common shares during the period. During the first quarter of 2026, the Company bought back 16 million shares for $80 million under the normal course issuer bid. Subsequent to March 31, 2026, the Company repurchased and cancelled an additional 4 million common shares for $18 million.

***Investing activities***

For the first quarter of 2026, the Company's cash used in investing activities was a net outflow of $176 million. For the first quarter of 2026, capital expenditures totalled $178 million. The most significant capital expenditures were Fekola Mine expenditures of $47 million, Goose Mine expenditures of $71 million, Masbate Mine expenditures of $16 million, Otjikoto Mine expenditures of $7 million, Gramalote Project expenditures of $9 million and Fekola Regional expenditures of $16 million. Other exploration costs for the first quarter of 2026 totalled $12 million.

The Company is planning another year of extensive exploration in 2026 with a budget of approximately $73 million. A significant focus will be on exploration at the Back River Gold District, with the continued goal of enhancing and growing the significant resource base at the Goose Mine and surrounding regional targets. In Namibia, the exploration program at the Otjikoto Mine will be focused on enhancing and increasing the resources at the Antelope deposit. In Mali, an ongoing focus will be on discovery of additional high-grade, sulphide mineralization across the Fekola Complex. In the Philippines, the exploration program at Masbate will continue to focus on new targets located south of the Masbate Mine infrastructure as well as commencing exploration on the newly permitted Uson Project. Early-stage exploration programs continue in the Philippines and Kazakhstan in 2026. Finally, the search for new joint ventures and strategic investment opportunities will continue, building on existing equity investments in Snowline Gold Corp., AuMEGA Metals Ltd., and Prospector Metals Corp.

*Canada Exploration*

On March 25, 2026, the Company announced positive exploration drilling results from the 2025 Back River Gold District exploration program.

A total of $46 million is budgeted for exploration at the Back River Gold District in 2026, of which $24 million is planned for the Goose Mine, and a significantly increased budget of $22 million is earmarked for Back River Gold District regional exploration.

At the Goose Mine, a total of 17,200 metres ("m") of drilling will target extensions of the Llama deposit, one of the largest and highest-grade resources in the Back River Gold District, as well as prioritizing selective infill drilling and extension of high-grade Inferred Resources in the Nuvuyak target. During the first quarter of 2026, the Company completed 6,980 m of drilling.

In addition to drilling at Goose Mine, a total of 12,800 m of drilling have been budgeted for regional exploration in 2026, including up to 6,400 m of infill drilling on the Locale 1 deposit, one of several deposits comprising the greater than 1.2 million ounces of Inferred Resource in the George Project. Later this year, up to 1,500 m of drilling at the Boot Property will follow-up promising intersections from the 2025 regional campaign, and the inaugural exploration of the newly acquired Ailiruk Property will commence, with mapping, prospecting and till sampling.

*Mali Exploration*

A total of $5 million is budgeted for exploration in Mali in 2026 with an ongoing focus on discovery of additional high-grade, sulphide mineralization across the Fekola Complex to supplement feed to the Fekola mill. A total of 8,200 m of diamond and reverse circulation drilling is budgeted for Mali in 2026.

*Philippine Exploration*

The total budget for the Philippines in 2026 is $6 million, of which the Masbate exploration budget is $3 million, including approximately 3,400 m of drilling. The 2026 exploration program will continue to focus on exploration of new regional targets located south of the main mine infrastructure at the Masbate Mine. Drilling work planned for the first quarter of 2026 has been delayed until later in the year due to delayed access to the Bart-Ag target area. This work at Bart-Ag has now started and is expected to be completed during the second quarter of 2026.

------

An additional $3 million will be allocated to targeting new regional projects in highly prospective areas in the Philippines, leveraging off B2Gold's presence and operational experience in the country. A total of 2,400 m is allocated to testing new projects.

*Namibia Exploration*

A total of $6 million is budgeted for exploration at Otjikoto in 2026. The focus of the exploration program will be drilling to expand and refine the Antelope deposit, located approximately 3 kilometres south of Phase 5 of the Otjikoto open pit, with an initial total of approximately 15,000 m of drilling planned. High productivity from the Otjikoto drilling team has resulted in approximately 4,600 m of drilling being completed in the first quarter of 2026, exceeding the 3,600 m budgeted for the period.

*2025 Guidance for Greenfield Exploration*

B2Gold has allocated approximately $7 million to other grassroots exploration projects in 2026. This includes $3 million (7,200 m) in Kazakhstan. The Company has allocated approximately $2 million for the generation and evaluation of new greenfield targets.

**CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES**

Full disclosure of the Company's accounting policies and significant accounting judgments and estimation uncertainties in accordance with IFRS can be found in Notes 4 and 5 of its Notes to the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025. Management considers the following estimates to be the most critical in understanding the judgments involved in preparing the Company's interim consolidated financial statements and the uncertainties that could impact its results of operations, financial condition and cash flows:

***Mineral reserve and resource estimates***

Mineral reserves are estimates of the amount of ore that can be economically and legally extracted from the Company's mining properties. The Company estimates its mineral reserves and mineral resources based on information compiled by appropriately qualified persons relating to the geological data on the size, depth and shape of the ore body, and requires complex geological assessments to interpret the data. The estimation of recoverable mineral reserves and mineral resources is based upon factors such as estimates of foreign exchange rates, commodity prices, future capital requirements, metallurgical recoveries, permitting and production costs along with geological assumptions made in estimating the size, and grade of the ore body. Changes in the mineral reserve or mineral resource estimates may impact the carrying value of mining interests, mine restoration provisions, the gold stream obligation, recognition of deferred tax assets, depreciation and amortization charges and royalty obligations.

***Assessment of impairment and reversal of impairment indicators for long-lived assets***

The Company applies significant judgement in assessing whether there are indicators of impairment, or the reversal of previously recorded impairment, present that give rise to the requirement to conduct an impairment test. Internal and external factors such as significant changes in the use of the asset, legal and permitting factors, future gold prices, operating and capital cost forecasts, quantities of mineral reserves and resources, and movements in market interest rates are used by the Company in determining whether there are any indicators of impairment or reversal of impairment.

***Impairment of long-lived assets***

Long-lived assets are tested for impairment, or reversal of a previous impairment, if there is an indicator of impairment or a subsequent reversal. Calculating the estimated recoverable amount of CGUs for long-lived asset requires management to make estimates and assumptions that include such factors as mineable mineralization including reserves and resources, future production levels, operating and capital costs, application of royalty, income tax and mining tax rates, future metal prices and discount rates. Changes in any of these assumptions or estimates used in determining the recoverable amount could impact the analysis. Such changes could be material.

***Fair value of financial instruments***

The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market are determined using valuation techniques. In determining the fair value of the gold stream obligation, the Company makes significant assumptions that are based on the underlying models and the market conditions existing at both initial recognition and the end of each reporting period.

------

***Value-added tax receivables***

The Company incurs indirect taxes, including value-added tax, on purchases of goods and services at its operating mines and development projects. Indirect tax balances are recorded at their estimated recoverable amounts within current or long-term assets, net of provisions, and reflect the Company's best estimate of their recoverability under existing tax rules in the respective jurisdictions in which they arise. Management's assessment of recoverability considers the probable outcomes of claimed deductions and/or disputes. The provisions and balance sheet classifications made to date may be subject to change and such change may be material.

Long-term value-added tax receivables at March 31, 2026 included amounts for the Fekola Mine of $257 million (December 31, 2025 - $244 million), for the Masbate Mine of $11 million (December 31, 2025 – $11 million), and for the Gramalote Project of $23 million (December 31, 2025 - $22 million).

***Uncertain tax positions***

The Company's operations involve the application of complex tax regulations in multiple international jurisdictions. Determining the tax treatment of a transaction requires the Company to apply judgement in its interpretation of the applicable tax law. These positions are not final until accepted by the relevant tax authority. The tax treatment may change based on the result of assessments or audits by the tax authorities often years after the initial filing.

The Company recognizes and records potential liabilities for uncertain tax positions based on its assessment of the amount, or range of amounts, of tax that will be due. The Company adjusts these accruals as new information becomes available. Due to the complexity and uncertainty associated with certain tax treatments, the ultimate resolution could result in a payment that is materially different from the Company's current estimate of the tax liabilities.

***Current and deferred income taxes***

The Company is periodically required to estimate the tax basis of assets and liabilities. Where applicable tax laws and regulations are either unclear or subject to varying interpretations, it is possible that changes in these estimates could occur that materially affect the amounts of deferred income tax assets and liabilities recorded in the financial statements. Changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities generally have a direct impact on earnings in the period that the changes occur.

Each period, the Company evaluates the likelihood of whether some portion or all of each deferred tax asset will not be realized. This evaluation is based on historic and future expected levels of taxable income and the associated repatriation of retained earnings, the pattern and timing of reversals of taxable temporary timing differences that give rise to deferred tax liabilities, and tax planning initiatives. Levels of future taxable income are affected by, among other things, metal prices, production costs, quantities of proven and probable gold reserves, interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. The availability of retained earnings for distribution depends on future levels of taxable income as well as future reclamation expenditures, capital expenditures, dividends and other uses of available cash flow.

**RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES**

The exploration and development of natural resources are highly speculative in nature and the Company's business operations, investments and prospects are subject to significant risks. For details of these risks, please refer to the risk factors set forth in the Company's current Annual Information Form, which can be found under the Company's corporate profile on SEDAR+ at <u>www.sedarplus.ca</u>, the Company's current Form 40-F Annual Report, which can be found on EDGAR at <u>www.sec.gov,</u> and the Company's other filings and submissions with securities regulators on SEDAR+ and EDGAR, which could materially affect the Company's business, operations, investments and prospects and could cause actual events to differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements relating to the Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to the Company or that the Company currently considers immaterial may also impair the business, operations, investments and prospects of the Company. If any of the risks actually occur, the business of the Company may be negatively impacted and its financial condition and results of operations may suffer significantly.

**INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING** 

The Company's management, with the participation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, are responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The Company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with IFRS. Any system of internal control over financial reporting, no matter how well designed, has inherent limitations. As a result, even those systems determined to be effective can only provide reasonable assurance regarding the preparation of financial statements.

The Company's management has determined that there have been no significant changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended March 31, 2026, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

------

**NON-IFRS MEASURES**

***Cash operating costs per gold ounce sold and total cash costs per gold ounce sold***

''Cash operating costs per gold ounce'' and "total cash costs per gold ounce" are common financial performance measures in the gold mining industry but, as non-IFRS measures, they do not have a standardized meaning under IFRS and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. Management believes that, in addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with IFRS, certain investors use this information to evaluate our performance and ability to generate cash flow. Accordingly, these measures are intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. The measures, along with sales, are considered to be a key indicator of the Company's ability to generate earnings and cash flow from its mining operations.

Cash cost figures are calculated on a sales basis in accordance with a standard developed by The Gold Institute, which was a worldwide association of suppliers of gold and gold products and included leading North American gold producers. The Gold Institute ceased operations in 2002, but the standard is the accepted standard of reporting cash cost of production in North America. Adoption of the standard is voluntary and the cost measures presented may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. Other companies may calculate these measures differently. Cash operating costs and total cash costs per gold ounce sold are derived from amounts included in the statement of operations and include post-commercial production mine site operating costs such as mining, processing, smelting, refining, transportation costs, royalties and production taxes, less silver by-product credits. The tables below show a reconciliation of cash operating costs per gold ounce sold and total cash costs per gold ounce sold to production costs as extracted from the unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements on a consolidated and a mine-by-mine basis (dollars in thousands):

In addition to cash operating costs on a per gold ounce sold basis, the Company also presents cash operating costs on a per gold ounce produced basis. Cash operating costs per gold ounce produced is derived from amounts included in the statement of operations and include post-commercial production mine site operating costs such as mining, processing, smelting, refining, transportation costs, less silver by-product credits. Cash operating costs per gold ounce produced do not include pre-commercial production from the Goose Mine. The tables below show a reconciliation of cash operating costs per gold ounce produced to production costs as extracted from the unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements on a consolidated and a mine-by-mine basis (dollars in thousands):

***All-in sustaining costs per gold ounce***

In June 2013, the World Gold Council, a non-regulatory association of the world's leading gold mining companies established to promote the use of gold to industry, consumers and investors, provided guidance for the calculation of the measure "all-in sustaining costs per gold ounce", but as a non-IFRS measure, it does not have a standardized meaning under IFRS and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. The original World Gold Council standard became effective January 1, 2014 with further updates announced on November 16, 2018 which were effective starting January 1, 2019.

Management believes that the all-in sustaining costs per gold ounce measure provides additional insight into the costs of producing gold by capturing all of the expenditures required for the discovery, development and sustaining of gold production and allows the Company to assess its ability to support capital expenditures to sustain future production from the generation of operating cash flows. Management believes that, in addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with IFRS, certain investors use this information to evaluate the Company's performance and ability to generate cash flow. Accordingly, it is intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. Adoption of the standard is voluntary and the cost measures presented may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. The Company has applied the principles of the World Gold Council recommendations and has reported all-in sustaining costs on a sales basis. Other companies may calculate these measures differently.

B2Gold defines all-in sustaining costs per ounce as the sum of post-commercial production cash operating costs, royalties and production taxes, capital expenditures and exploration costs that are sustaining in nature, sustaining lease expenditures, corporate general and administrative costs, share-based payment expenses related to restricted share units/deferred share units/performance share units/restricted phantom units ("RSUs/DSUs/PSUs/RPUs"), community relations expenditures, reclamation liability accretion and realized (gains) losses on fuel derivative contracts, all divided by the total post-commercial production gold ounces sold to arrive at a per ounce figure.

***Adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share - basic***

"Adjusted net income" and "adjusted earnings per share – basic" are non-IFRS measures that do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. The Company defines adjusted net income as net income attributable to shareholders of the Company adjusted for non-recurring items and also significant recurring non-cash items. The Company defines adjusted earnings per share – basic as adjusted net income divided by the basic weighted number of common shares outstanding.

Management believes that the presentation of adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share - basic is appropriate to provide additional information to investors regarding items that we do not expect to continue at the same level in the future or that management does not believe to be a reflection of the Company's ongoing operating performance. Management further believes that its presentation of these non-IFRS financial measures provide information that is useful to investors because they are important indicators of the strength of our operations and the performance of our core business. Accordingly, it is intended to

***Free cash flow***

"Free cash flow" is a non-IFRS that does not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. The Company defines as net cash flow provided by operating activities less capital expenditures.

Management believes that the presentation of free cash flow is appropriate to provide additional information to investors on the Company's ability to operate without reliance on additional borrowing. Management further believes that its presentation of this non-IFRS financial measures provides information that is useful to investors because it is an important indicators of the strength of our operations and the performance of our core business. Accordingly, it is intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. Other companies may calculate this measure differently. These measures are not necessarily indicative of operating profit or cash flow from operations as determined under IFRS.

Quarterly gold revenue throughout the eight quarters is a function of quarterly production levels, the timing of bullion shipments and changes in average realized gold price, while cash flows from operating activities are also impacted by production costs of each quarter and changes in working capital. Quarterly gold revenue and production costs for the second, third and fourth quarter of 2025 and the first quarter of 2026 include the results of the Goose Mine, including any sales of pre-commercial production. Net income throughout the eight quarters is a function of quarterly revenues, cash operating costs, related taxes and asset impairment charges, where applicable. The net loss in the second quarter of 2024 reflects an impairment of $194 million related to the Fekola Complex, net of deferred income tax, partially offset by a gain on sale of mining interests of $49 million and a gain on sale of shares in associate of $17 million. The net loss in the third quarter of 2024 reflects an impairment of $661 million related to the Goose Mine and settlement expenses arising from the MOU Agreement signed with the State of Mali in September 2024 of $84 million partially offset by a gain on sale of mining interests of $8 million. Cash flows used in operating activities in the third quarter of 2024 reflect the build-up of long-term supplies inventory of $98 million for the Goose Mine. The net loss in the fourth quarter of 2024 reflects the retroactive application of the additional 10% priority dividend at the Fekola Mine resulting in an additional current income tax expense of $13 million.

**SUMMARY AND OUTLOOK** 

The Company is pleased with its very positive first quarter of 2026 operating and financial results. Consolidated production of 237,763 ounces of gold exceeded budget by 7% with the Fekola, Goose, Masbate and Otjikoto Mines all surpassing budget. The higher than budgeted production helped drive significantly lower than budgeted consolidated cash operating and all in sustaining cost performance. Consolidated gold production for 2026 is expected to be between 820,000 and 970,000 ounces.

The execution of the Company's operating plan for 2026 includes completing phase one of the planned Goose Mine crusher upgrades as well as commencement of mining at Fekola Regional upon receipt of an exploitation permit. In tandem with delivery of these planned objectives, the Company expects 2026 to be a significant year for free cashflow growth, including $362 million of free cashflow generated in the first quarter of 2026. On April 23, 2026, the Company completed the sale of its 70% interest in Fingold Ventures Ltd., which holds several claims in Northern Finland, in exchange for $325 million in cash, further strengthening the Company's financial position. The Company is well placed to complete its budgeted capital and exploration activities for 2026, manage its financial commitments and continue to return capital to its shareholders. In addition to paying a dividend at a yield consistent with its peer group, the Company has continued to repurchase shares under its NCIB program. The Company has already repurchased 20 million shares to date in 2026 for a total of $98 million and expects to repurchase further amounts as the year progresses.

The Company's operations continue to maintain normal levels of fuel supplies despite global challenges. Fuel supply at the Fekola Complex in Mali has been uninterrupted and remains at normal levels. The Company is in the process of expanding the Fekola Mine's diesel storage capabilities by approximately 20%. The fuel supply at the Goose Mine in Nunavut for 2026 was purchased during the third quarter of 2025 and delivery down the winter ice road was completed in April 2026. For the Masbate Mine in the Philippines, the Company has been able secure a guaranteed supply contract for the next three months. The Otjikoto Mine in Namibia draws power from the national grid and has significantly decreased its diesel consumption with the move to underground mining in the fourth quarter of 2025. The Company's solar projects at the Fekola, Masbate and Otjikoto mine's provide these operations with a source of power that is not impacted by changes in fuel prices. The Company has approximately 36% of its remaining 2026 fuel needs hedged at or below budget prices.

On April 20, 2026, the Company also announced that B2Gold and Agnico Eagle Mines Limited have agreed to enter into a collaboration agreement related to their respective gold mining operations located in Nunavut, Canada. The Nunavut Collaboration Agreement is expected to establish a framework for the two companies to share operational knowledge and best

------

practices across key areas, including mining and processing operations in arctic environments, logistics and procurement, operational planning, exploration planning, human resources, health and safety and environmental management. The Nunavut Collaboration Agreement is intended to enhance operational effectiveness while supporting responsible mining in Nunavut, reflecting both companies' shared commitment to continuous improvement, sustainability and constructive engagement and partnership with local communities and stakeholders.

We continue to assess development opportunities and projects which we can put our proven internal mine construction team to work on. Development opportunities being assessed include our wholly owned Gramalote Project in Colombia. Due to the desired modifications to the processing plant and infrastructure locations, a Modified Work Plan and Modified Environment Impact Study are required. The Modified Work Plan was submitted in January 2026 and the Modified Environmental Impact Study was submitted in March 2026. Completion of the process is expected to take approximately twelve months. In conjunction with these permit modifications, the Company also intends to complete a significant portion of its resettlement objectives by the end of 2026, in accordance with its existing resettlement plan. Assessment of the Gramalote Project remains ongoing. If B2Gold makes the decision to develop the Gramalote Project as an open pit gold mine, B2Gold would utilize its proven internal mine construction team to build the mine and mill facilities.

Exploration also remains a key focus as B2Gold seeks to both expand its reserve and resource base at its existing operations as well as seeking out greenfield opportunities, including strategic investments in prospective junior exploration companies.

The Company's ongoing strategy is to continue to maximize responsible profitable production from its existing mines, maintain a strong financial position, realize the potential increase in gold production from the Company's existing development projects, continue exploration programs across the Company's robust land packages, evaluate new exploration, development and production opportunities and continue to return capital to shareholders.

**OUTSTANDING SHARE DATA**

As at May 6, 2026, 1,332,417,631 common shares were outstanding. The Notes, if converted, would result in the issuance of approximately 145 million shares.

All statements in this MD&A that address events or developments that we expect to occur in the future are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are statements that are not historical facts and are generally, although not always, identified by words such as "expect", "plan", "anticipate", "project", "target", "potential", "schedule", "forecast", "budget", "estimate", "intend" or "believe" and similar expressions or their negative connotations, or that events or conditions "will", "would", "may", "could", "should" or "might" occur. All such forward-looking statements are based on the opinions and estimates of management as of the date such statements are made.

Forward-looking statements necessarily involve assumptions, risks and uncertainties, certain of which are beyond B2Gold's control, including risks associated with or related to: the volatility of metal prices and B2Gold's common shares; changes in tax laws; the dangers inherent in exploration, development and mining activities; the uncertainty of mineral reserve and resource estimates; not achieving production, cost or other estimates; actual production, development plans and costs differing materially from the estimates in B2Gold's feasibility and other studies; the ability to obtain and maintain any necessary permits, consents or authorizations required for mining activities; environmental regulations or hazards and compliance with complex regulations associated with mining activities; climate change and climate change regulations; the ability to replace mineral reserves and identify acquisition opportunities; the unknown liabilities of companies acquired by B2Gold; the ability to successfully integrate new acquisitions; fluctuations in exchange rates; the availability of financing; financing and debt activities, including potential restrictions imposed on B2Gold's operations as a result thereof and the ability to generate sufficient cash flows; operations in foreign and developing countries and the compliance with foreign laws, including those associated with operations in Mali, Namibia, the Philippines and Colombia and including risks related to changes in foreign laws and changing policies related to mining and local ownership requirements or resource nationalization generally; remote operations and the availability of adequate infrastructure; fluctuations in price and availability of energy and other inputs necessary for mining operations; shortages or cost increases in necessary equipment, supplies and labour; regulatory, political and country risks, including local instability or acts of terrorism and the effects thereof; the reliance upon contractors, third parties and joint venture partners; the lack of sole decision-making authority related to Filminera Resources Corporation, which owns the Masbate Gold Project; challenges to title or surface rights; the dependence on key personnel and the ability to attract and retain skilled personnel; the risk of an uninsurable or uninsured loss; adverse climate and weather conditions; litigation risk; competition with other mining companies; community support for B2Gold's operations, including risks related to strikes and the halting of such operations from time to time; conflicts with small scale miners; failures of information systems or information security threats; the ability to maintain adequate internal controls over financial reporting as required by law, including Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act; compliance with anti-corruption laws, and sanctions or other similar measures; social media and B2Gold's reputation; as well as other factors identified and as described in more detail under the heading "Risk Factors" in B2Gold's most recent Annual Information Form, B2Gold's current Form 40-F Annual Report and B2Gold's other filings with Canadian securities regulators and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), which may be viewed at www.sedarplus.ca and www.sec.gov, respectively (the "Websites"). The list is not exhaustive of the factors that may affect B2Gold's forward-looking statements.

B2Gold's forward-looking statements are based on the applicable assumptions and factors management considers reasonable as of the date hereof, based on the information available to management at such time. These assumptions and factors include, but are not limited to, assumptions and factors related to B2Gold's ability to carry on current and future operations, including: development and exploration activities; the timing, extent, duration and economic viability of such operations, including any mineral resources or reserves identified thereby; the accuracy and reliability of estimates, projections, forecasts, studies and assessments; B2Gold's ability to meet or achieve estimates, projections and forecasts; the availability and cost of inputs; the price and market for outputs, including gold; foreign exchange rates; taxation levels; the timely receipt of necessary approvals or permits; the ability to meet current and future obligations; the ability to obtain timely financing on reasonable terms when required; the current and future social, economic and political conditions; and other assumptions and factors generally associated with the mining industry.

B2Gold's forward-looking statements are based on the opinions and estimates of management and reflect their current expectations regarding future events and operating performance and speak only as of the date hereof. B2Gold does not assume any obligation to update forward-looking statements if circumstances or management's beliefs, expectations or opinions should change other than as required by applicable law. There can be no assurance that forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate, and actual results, performance or achievements could differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, these forward-looking statements. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that any events anticipated by the forward-looking statements will transpire or occur, or if any of them do, what benefits or liabilities B2Gold will derive therefrom. For the reasons set forth above, undue reliance should not be placed on forward-looking statements.

The projected range of all-in sustaining costs includes sustaining capital expenditures, corporate administrative expense, mine-site exploration and evaluation costs and reclamation cost accretion, and exclude the effects of expansionary capital and non-sustaining expenditures. Projected GAAP total production cash costs for the full year would require inclusion of the projected impact of future included and excluded items, including items that are not currently determinable, but may be significant, such as sustaining capital expenditures, reclamation cost accretion. Due to the uncertainty of the likelihood, amount and timing of any such items, B2Gold does not have information available to provide a quantitative reconciliation of projected all-in sustaining costs to a total production cash costs projection. B2Gold believes that this measure represents the total costs of producing gold from

------

current operations, and provides B2Gold and other stakeholders of the Company with additional information of B2Gold's operational performance and ability to generate cash flows. All-in sustaining costs, as a key performance measure, allows B2Gold to assess its ability to support capital expenditures and to sustain future production from the generation of operating cash flows. This information provides management with the ability to more actively manage capital programs and to make more prudent capital investment decisions.

**CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING MINERAL RESERVE AND RESOURCE ESTIMATES**

The disclosure in this MD&A was prepared in accordance with Canadian standards for the reporting of mineral resource and mineral reserve estimates, which differ in some material respects from the disclosure requirements of United States securities laws. In particular, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the terms "mineral reserve", "proven mineral reserve", "probable mineral reserve", "inferred mineral resources,", "indicated mineral resources," "measured mineral resources" and "mineral resources" used or referenced in this MD&A are Canadian mineral disclosure terms as defined in accordance with Canadian National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101") and the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (the "CIM") - CIM Definition Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves, adopted by the CIM Council, as amended (the "CIM Definition Standards"). The definitions of these terms, and other mining terms and disclosures, differ from the definitions of such terms, if any, for purposes of the SEC's disclosure rules for domestic United State issuers. As a foreign private issuer that is eligible to file reports with the SEC pursuant to the MJDS, B2Gold is not required to provide disclosure on its mineral properties under applicable SEC rules and regulations and provides disclosure under NI 43-101 and the CIM Definition Standards. Accordingly, mineral reserve and mineral resource information and other technical information contained in this MD&A may not be comparable to similar information disclosed by companies subject to the SEC's reporting and disclosure requirements for domestic United States issuers.

Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. Due to the uncertainty of measured, indicated or inferred mineral resources, these mineral resources may never be upgraded to proven and probable mineral reserves. Investors are cautioned not to assume that any part of mineral deposits in these categories will ever be converted into reserves or recovered. In addition, United States investors are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of B2Gold's measured, indicated or inferred mineral resources constitute or will be converted into mineral reserves or are or will be economically or legally mineable without additional work.

Historical results or feasibility models presented herein are not guarantees or expectations of future performance. Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. Due to the uncertainty of measured, indicated or inferred mineral resources, these mineral resources may never be upgraded to proven and probable mineral reserves.
