Company Report

Kinross Gold Earnings: Higher Sales Volumes and Gold Prices Drive a Solid Result

No-moat Kinross Gold’s solid 2024 first-quarter result broadly met our expectations. It is on track to meet our unchanged forecast for sales of around 2.05 million gold equivalent ounces, or GEO, in 2024. Sales volumes grew 7%, driven by higher production from its Tasiast mine in Mauritania and La Coipa mine in Chile. The increased production broadly offset headwinds from inflation, meaning unit cash costs were similar to last year.

Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

Tasiast and Paracatu, Kinross' two largest operations by production, sit within the lower half of the industry cost curve.

Bears

Kinross sits around the middle of the gold cost curve, making it more leveraged to movements in gold prices compared with its lower-cost competitors.

Company Profile

Kinross Gold is a Canada-based gold producer, producing roughly 2.2 million gold equivalent ounces in 2023. The company had about a decade of gold reserves at the end of 2023. It operates mines in the Americas and West Africa after selling its low-cost Russian operations in 2022 in response to the invasion of Ukraine. The company has historically used acquisitions to fuel expansion into new regions and production growth. In 2022, Kinross purchased the Great Bear project in Canada, which, if developed, could produce an average of more than 500,000 ounces of gold per year for at least a decade.
