(All tabular amounts are in thousands of United States dollars unless otherwise stated)
(Unaudited)

2 Basis of preparation

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, Interim Financial Reporting, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IAS 34"). These condensed interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IFRS").

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements follow the same accounting policies and methods of application as the most recent annual consolidated financial statements of the Company.

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors ("Board") on May 7, 2024.

3 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

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.

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 impairment reversal 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 management in determining whether there are any indicators.

Determination of control or significant influence over investees

The assessment of whether the Company has a significant influence or control over an investee requires the application of judgement when assessing factors that could give rise to a significant influence or control. Factors evaluated when making a

B2GOLD CORP.
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the three months ended March 31, 2024
(All tabular amounts are in thousands of United States dollars unless otherwise stated)
(Unaudited)
judgement of control or significant influence over an investee include, but are not limited to, ownership percentage, representation on the board of directors, participation in the policy-making process, material transactions and contractual arrangements between the Company and the investee, interchange of managerial personnel, provision of essential technical information and potential voting rights. In evaluating these factors, the Company determines the level of influence over the investee the Company has. Changes in the Company's assessment of the factors used in determining if control or significant influence exists over an investee would impact the accounting treatment of the investment in the investee.

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 gold stream obligation (Note 14 and Note 16), 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 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, recognition of deferred tax assets, depreciation and amortization charges and royalties receivable.

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 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, 2024 includes amounts for the Fekola Mine of $151 million (December 31, 2023 - $137 million), for the Masbate Mine of $48 million (December 31, 2023 – $45 million), and for the Gramalote Project of $18 million (December 31, 2023 - $18 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, 2024, the Company received a non-binding offer from Rupert Resources Ltd. for the purchase of the Company's 70% interest in certain properties in Finland ("Finland Properties"). The remaining 30% interest in the Finland Properties is owned by Aurion Resources Inc. The Company has concluded that an agreement to sell its interest in the Finland Properties is likely to be reached within the next 12 months and, as a result, has classified the Finland Properties as held for sale as at March 31, 2024. Based on the expected sales proceeds at March 31, 2024, the Company has determined that the net book value of the Finland Properties is recoverable and no impairment has been recorded in connection with the reclassification.

On January 24, 2024, the Company's associate Calibre completed the acquisition of Marathon Gold Corporation ("Marathon"). As a result of the Calibre shares issued for the acquisition of Marathon, the Company's interest in Calibre was diluted from 24% to 15%. Despite owning less than 20% of Calibre, the Company determined that it still had significant influence over its associate due to, among other things, the Company's right to nominate one Director to the Board of Calibre. Subsequent to March 31, on April 16, 2024, the Company's interest in Calibre was diluted a further 1% to 14%. The Company determined that this further dilution did not change its significant influence over Calibre.

Revolving credit facility

The Company has a $700 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 $800 million any time prior to the maturity date of December 16, 2025. As at March 31, 2024, the Company had available the full undrawn capacity of $700 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 certain ratios for leverage and interest coverage. As at March 31, 2024, the Company was in compliance with these debt covenants.

11 Share capital

The Company’s authorized share capital consists of an unlimited number of common shares and an unlimited number of preferred shares. As at March 31, 2024, the Company had 1,305,407,942 common shares outstanding (December 31, 2023 - 1,302,396,192 shares), including 1,705,000 common shares being held in trust under the Company’s Incentive Plan. No preferred shares were outstanding.

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company paid a quarterly dividend of $0.04 per share totalling $52 million (2023 - $43 million). Of this amount, $6 million (2023 - $nil) was satisfied by the issuance of 2 million shares under the Company's Dividend Re-investment Plan.

Subsequent to March 31, 2024, on May 7, 2024, the Company approved a second quarter dividend of $0.04 payable on June 24, 2024.

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, approximately 1 million stock options were granted to employees at an exercise price of Cdn. $3.48 per share. These stock options have a term of five years and vest over a period of three years. The estimated fair value when granted of these options, totalling $0.5 million, is being recognized as a share-based payment expense over the vesting period. The fair value was calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model based on a risk-free annual interest rate of 3.8%, an expected life of three years, an expected volatility of 37% and a dividend yield rate of 6%.

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, share-based payments expense relating to the vesting of stock options was $1 million (2023 - $2 million). For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company issued 0.5 million shares for proceeds of $1 million upon the exercise of stock options. The weighted average market price of the shares at the time of exercise was Cdn. $4.14. As at March 31, 2024, 31 million stock options were outstanding.

13 Derivative financial instruments

The Company's fuel derivative instruments were not designated as hedges and are being recorded at fair value through profit and loss ("FVTPL"). As at March 31, 2024, the Company had fuel derivative contracts outstanding for 4 million litres of fuel oil at an average strike price of $0.39 per litre. The unrealized fair value of these contracts at March 31, 2024 was $0 million (December 31, 2023 - $0 million).

Subsequent to March 31, 2024, the Company entered into an additional series of forward contracts for the purchase of 21 million litres of fuel oil at an average strike price of $0.47 per litre and 15 million litres of gas oil at an average strike price of $0.64 per litre with scheduled settlement between July 2024 and March 2026.

14 Gold stream obligation

The Company's gold stream obligation requires the delivery from production at the Company's Back River Project as follows:
2.7805% of gold production up to delivery of 87,100 ounces
1.4405% of gold production up to an aggregate of 134,000 ounces
1.005% of gold production thereafter.

The gold stream obligation was determined to be a derivative liability under IFRS 9 Financial instruments, and has been classified as FVTPL. As a result, it has been recorded at its fair value on the Condensed Interim Consolidated Balance Sheet with changes in the fair value being recorded in the Condensed Interim Consolidated Statement of Operations. The fair value of the gold stream was determined to be level 3 in the fair value hierarchy (Note 16). The Company has guaranteed the gold stream obligation.

The following is a summary of the changes in the gold stream obligation:

15 Prepaid gold sales

On January 23, 2024, the Company entered into a series of prepaid gold sales with a number of its RCF syndicate banks. Under the terms of the prepaid gold sales, 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 prepaid gold sales can be settled prior to maturity through accelerated delivery of the remaining deliverable gold ounces.

The prepaid gold sales have been accounted in accordance with IFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, whereby the cash prepayments have been recognized as deferred revenue on the consolidated balance sheets and will be recognized as revenue in the consolidated statement of operations based on the contract price when gold deliveries are made.

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company recognized interest charge of $8 million relating to the financing component contained in the prepaid gold sales. Of the $8 million interest expense, $3 million was capitalized to the cost of constructing qualifying assets during the period and the remaining $5 million was expensed in the Condensed Consolidated Interim Statement of Operations. At March 31, 2024, the carrying amount of the prepaid gold sales was $508 million.

16 Financial instruments

The Company’s financial assets and liabilities are classified based on the lowest level of input significant to the fair value measurement based on the fair value hierarchy:

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2 – inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and

Level 3 – inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.

As at March 31, 2024, the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value are categorized as follows:
 As at March 31, 2024As at December 31, 2023

Fuel derivative contracts (Note 13)
 362   481  
Gold stream obligation (Note 14)
  (150,452)  (139,600)

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 value of the Company's fuel 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. Gold production is assumed to begin at the end of the second quarter of 2025. Forward gold price estimates ranged from $2,327 to $3,454 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 risk-free rate would also have approximately a $4 million impact on the fair value of the gold stream obligation.

The fair value of the Company's long-term debt also 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 approximate their carrying value due to their short-term nature.

Credit risk

The Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk was 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.

This priority dividend is accounted for as an income tax in accordance with IAS 12, Income Taxes.

Fekola Tax Audits

The Company's subsidiary, Fekola SA, received a Notice for Reassessment dated September 6, 2022, from the Malian Directorate General of Taxes (“DGT”) asserting proposed adjustments and other tax liabilities amounting to $26 million excluding penalties, $45 million including penalties, (based on the March 31, 2024 exchange rate of CFA 607 to $1) arising from tax audits conducted for fiscal years 2016-2018. Fekola SA filed a contentious claim, dated November 3, 2022, outlining its objections to the reassessment in accordance with the Mali Income Tax Act. At March 31, 2024, the Company has recorded a total provision of $10 million (net provision of $5 million after taking into account a $5 million prepayment made in 2022) reflecting its best estimate of the final settlement of the reassessment amount.
