AI desk brief

Cerrado Gold reported Q3 2026 production of 16,685 GEO at Minera Don Nicolas, up 21% year over year, taking year-to-date output to 44,942 GEO, up 23%. The company now expects full-year 2026 production at the top end of its 50,000-60,000 GEO guidance range.

Operationally, heap leach production was steady at 9,649 GEO while CIL output rose to 7,036 GEO as higher-grade Calandrias material was redirected to the mill for better recoveries. Cerrado also said higher gold prices allowed more low-grade material into the heap leach feed, while exploration at Falcon and Calandrias II is aimed at supporting a new PEA by late Q1 2027 and extending mine life.
