Factors Likely to Have Shaped Alamos Gold’s Q4 Performance
Last month, Alamos Gold provided its fourth-quarter production and sales update, which may show how it is likely to fare in the to-be-reported quarter. The company reported gold production of 140,200 ounces, in line with its quarterly guidance. The figure was 8% higher than the year-ago quarter. Alamos Gold sold 141,257 ounces at an average realized gold price of $2,632 per ounce. AGI’s consolidated gold revenues in the fourth quarter were $375 million, inclusive of silver sales. The company sold 129,005 ounces of gold at an average realized price of $1,974 per ounce in the year-ago quarter, leading to revenues of $255 million.
The company had stated that fourth-quarter costs are expected to be slightly lower sequentially. However, we expect costs will be higher compared with the year-ago quarter. Alamos Gold reported cost of sales of $1,292 per ounce of gold sold in the fourth quarter of 2023. All-in-sustaining costs per ounce of gold sold were $1,233 and total cash costs per ounce of gold sold were $900. Higher revenues are expected to have offset the impact of increased costs on Alamos Gold’s fourth-quarter earnings.
