VANCOUVER, British Columbia, April 19, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- B2Gold Corp. (TSX: BTO, NYSE AMERICAN: BTG, NSX: B2G) (“B2Gold” or the “Company”) announced today an update on the near-term operational plan related to the fire that occurred in certain areas of the crushing circuit at the Goose Mine in the evening of April 16, 2026, as described in B2Gold’s news release on April 17, 2026. The Company reconfirms that no injuries were reported and no medical treatment was required related to the fire. The Company can also confirm its initial assessment that the fire damage was localized to the crushing circuit area. There was no damage or impact to the mill or power facility. The Goose Mine currently has mobile crushers available at site and the preliminary operational plan is to utilize these mobile crushers to feed crushed ore directly to the fine ore stockpile. Additional temporary crushing capacity has been sourced and will be transported to site in the second quarter of 2026 to supplement the existing mobile crushers currently at the Goose Mine. A preliminary revised mill processing plan has been developed for the second quarter of 2026 based on the use of mobile crushers feeding crushed ore directly to the fine ore stockpile while repairs to the crushing circuit related to the fire are completed. The Company estimates that these repairs will be completed in the third quarter of 2026, and will coincide with the previously announced addition of a run-of-mine bin and apron feeder which were scheduled to be implemented in the third quarter of 2026. 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. B2Gold’s preliminary estimate of the cost of the repairs to the crushing circuit related to the fire is approximately C$10 million. Gold production is expected to continue over the near-term, albeit at a reduced level than previously anticipated in the second quarter of 2026 due to lower throughput rates of crushed ore. In the first quarter of 2026 the Goose Mine produced 42,876 ounces of gold, ahead of internal estimates. The previous internal forecast for gold production at the Goose Mine in the second quarter of 2026 was approximately 29,000 ounces. Due to the impact to the crushing circuit related to the fire, the Company now forecasts gold production in the second quarter of 2026 of 18,000 to 20,000 ounces, a reduction of approximately 10,000 ounces. B2Gold 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.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, April 01, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- B2Gold Corp. (TSX: BTO) (NYSE American: BTG) (“ B2Gold ” or the “ Company ”) announces that the Toronto Stock Exchange (the “ TSX ”) has accepted the notice of B2Gold’s intention to renew its normal course issuer bid (the “ NCIB ”). The Company’s decision to renew the NCIB is consistent with its shareholder return strategy, and reflective of the Company's belief that the market may undervalue the common shares of B2Gold (the “ Shares ”) from time to time and that the Shares may trade in a price range which may not adequately reflect the value of the Shares in relation to the business, assets, and prospects of B2Gold from time to time and that purchases of Shares pursuant to the NCIB may represent an appropriate and desirable use of the Company’s capital. The Company had 1,337,359,749 Shares issued and outstanding as of March 20, 2026. The renewed TSX approval allows the Company to purchase up to 132,662,594 Shares, representing 10% of the public float as of March 20, 2026, over a period of twelve months commencing on April 3, 2026. The renewed NCIB will expire no later than April 2, 2027. All purchases made pursuant to the NCIB will be made on the open market through the facilities of the TSX, the NYSE American, other designated exchanges and/or alternative trading systems or by such other means as may be permitted by applicable Canadian and U.S. securities laws. Purchases made on the open market through the facilities of the TSX, the NYSE American and alternative trading systems will be made at the prevailing market price at the time of purchase, or such other price as may be permitted by the TSX and applicable U.S. securities laws. The Company will retain discretion whether to make purchases under the NCIB, if any, and to determine the timing, amount and acceptable price of any such purchases, subject at all times to applicable TSX and other regulatory requirements. The Shares purchased by B2Gold under the NCIB will be cancelled. In accordance with TSX rules, any daily purchases (other than pursuant to a block purchase exemption) on the TSX under the renewed NCIB are limited to a maximum of 1,763,653 Shares, which represents 25% of the average daily trading volume of 7,054,612 Shares on the TSX for the six months ended February 28, 2026 (and excluding purchases made by the Company under the current NCIB). Purchases on the NYSE American will be subject to daily limitations and other conditions regarding manner, timing, price and volume of purchases in order to qualify for the safe harbor provided under applicable U.S. securities laws. Under B2Gold’s current NCIB, which commenced on April 3, 2025 and expires on April 2, 2026, B2Gold obtained approval to purchase up to a total of 65,980,840 Shares. Between April 3, 2025 and March 27, 2026, a total of 18,433,881 Shares were purchased through the facilities of the TSX, the NYSE American, and alternative trading platforms at a weighted-average price of approximately C$6.65 per Share (excluding commissions).

From its inception, the Fekola Mine was designed as a self-sufficient “island” operation due to the lack of accessible electricity grid connections. The original Fekola power plant, commissioned in July 2017, consisted of four Caterpillar HFO generators, providing the thermal power needed for operations. As mine production expanded, so did the demand for energy, leading to the addition of two more engines. In April 2021, the Phase 1 hybrid power plant was successfully integrated, incorporating 30 MW of solar energy and 17.3 MW of battery storage. This upgrade significantly improved power generation efficiency, reducing HFO reliance. During peak solar hours, only two or three thermal engines were required, resulting in greater fuel efficiency, substantial reductions in GHG emissions, and lower annual HFO consumption. In 2024, the hybrid power plant cut GHG emissions by approximately 38,000 tonnes of CO 2 e and saved around 13 million litres of HFO. In early 2025, the
