Lundin Gold Inc., a leading gold mining company headquartered in Vancouver, Canada, has announced a strong start to 2025 with its first quarter gold production totaling 117,313 ounces from its Fruta del Norte mine located in southeast Ecuador. This remarkable achievement represents a year-over-year increase, reinforcing Lundin Gold's position as a top-tier gold producer in the global mining industry.
Compared to the first quarter of 2024, Lundin Gold produced 111,572 ounces of gold, showing a healthy increase of about 5.1% in total production. The average head grade of ore milled also improved from 9.5 grams per tonne in Q1 2024 to 10.4 grams per tonne in Q1 2025, indicating more efficient mining of higher-grade ore[1][2][5].
Fruta del Norte is recognized as one of the highest-grade underground gold mines in the world, boasting exceptional ore grades and robust production capabilities. With continuous investments in state-of-the-art processing technologies and mine expansion projects, Lundin Gold has been able to maximize throughput without compromising on ore quality or recovery rates.
A major catalyst behind the improved Q1 production numbers was the successful completion of the Plant Expansion Project. Lundin Gold strategically timed the project completion to coincide with equipment tie-ins downtime, which was also used to perform proactive maintenance such as relining the SAG mill—originally scheduled for the second quarter[2][5].
This forward-thinking approach has positioned the company for sustained operational excellence throughout 2025, enabling higher throughput and enhanced recovery rates moving forward.
Ron Hochstein, President and CEO of Lundin Gold, expressed strong confidence in the company’s current trajectory:
“2025 is off to a strong start, marked by the successful completion of our Plant Expansion Project this quarter. Capitalizing on the downtime associated with the new equipment tie-ins, we proactively completed the relining of the SAG mill, as well as other maintenance that was originally scheduled in the second quarter, positioning us well for the remainder of the year.
As a result of strategic mine resequencing and positive grade reconciliation, we have seen a higher mill head grade, which we now expect to continue through the first half of the year before moderating in the second half. We are also pleased with the initial performance of the process plant, post Plant Expansion Project, in terms of throughput and recoveries and are focused on optimizing performance in the coming quarter.”[2][5]
This outlook underlines Lundin Gold’s proactive management approach and its commitment to optimizing productivity while maintaining sustainable mining practices.
| Metric | Q1 2025 | Q1 2024 | |----------------------------------|-------------------|------------------| | Ore Processed (tonnes) | 398,159 | 413,596 | | Average Throughput (tonnes/day) | 4,424 | 4,545 | | Average Head Grade (g/t) | 10.4 | 9.5 | | Gold Recovery (%) | 88.5% | 88.3% | | Gold Ounces Produced | 117,313 | 111,572 | | Gold Ounces Sold | 117,641 | 108,916 | | Average Realized Gold Price ($/oz)| $3,081 | $2,141 |
The increase in realized gold price during Q1 2025, partly attributed to favorable market conditions and provisionally priced sales exceeding year-end 2024 estimates, boosted the company’s revenue prospects significantly[2][5].
Beyond production, Lundin Gold emphasizes responsible mining operations aligned with international best practices. The company is dedicated to:
These commitments ensure that Lundin Gold not only meets the expectations of shareholders but also contributes positively to the regions where it operates[2][3].
Based on the strong operational performance in Q1, Lundin Gold has reaffirmed its production guidance for 2025, projecting:
The company continues to prioritize near-mine and regional exploration, with an allocated budget of $32 million for near-mine and $8 million for regional exploration in 2025. These exploration initiatives aim to sustain long-term growth and production stability[4].
Lundin Gold’s strong quarterly production and operational efficiencies come at a time when gold prices remain robust amid global economic uncertainties. The company’s ability to increase output, enhance grade quality, and capitalize on higher gold prices positions it well for financial robustness.
Investors can anticipate:
Lundin Gold operates the Fruta del Norte gold mine, renowned for being one of the highest-grade gold mines in the world. Located in southeast Ecuador, the mine has been a cornerstone of the company’s growth strategy since commercial production began. With a skilled management team and a commitment to sustainable operations, Lundin Gold continues to pursue excellence in gold mining and exploration activities.
Lundin Gold’s Q1 2025 production results demonstrate the company’s operational strength and strategic efficacy at the Fruta del Norte mine. The combination of increased gold output, successful plant expansion, and positive market conditions underpin a promising outlook for the year ahead. As Lundin Gold advances its exploration and optimizes mine performance, it remains a pivotal player in the global gold mining industry.
Stay tuned for Lundin Gold’s Q1 2025 financial results scheduled for release on May 8, 2025, followed by a conference call on May 9, where further insights and future guidance will be discussed.[2][5]
