G Mining Ventures (TSX: GMIN) has released its guidance for 2025, which is highlighted by production guidance at its Tocantinzinho Gold Mine in Brazil. The mine is expected to produce between 175,000 to 200,000 ounces of gold in 2025.
That gold production is expected to occur at a cash cost of between $590 to $655 an ounce, while all in sustaining costs will come in higher at $995 to $1,125 an ounce. Total sustaining costs are expected to amount to between $60 and $70 million, including $2 million in near-mine exploration.
“We expect to build on GMIN’s 2024 operational success in the year ahead, as TZ ramps up throughput, reaching nameplate capacity early in the year, generating meaningful free cash flow to advance development activities at Oko West,” commented Louis-Pierre Gignac, CEO of G Mining.
