-- B2Gold(BTO.TO)は日曜遅く、4月16日にグース鉱山の破砕回路の一部で発生した火災に関連する短期的な操業計画について最新情報を発表しました。 グース鉱山には移動式破砕機が設置されており、暫定的な操業計画では、これらの破砕機を用いて破砕鉱石を直接微粉鉱石貯蔵場に供給する予定です。追加の臨時破砕設備も確保済みで、第2四半期中に現場に搬入される予定です。 影響を受けた破砕回路の修復が完了するまでの間、移動式破砕機を使用することを前提とした、第2四半期向けの暫定的な製粉処理計画が策定されました。 修復作業は第3四半期に完了する見込みで、費用は約1,000万カナダドルと見積もられています。破砕回路は第3四半期末までに、1日平均約3,200トンの処理能力で稼働できるようになる見込みです。 金生産量は、第2四半期も当初の予想よりも低い水準で推移すると予想されます。 B2Goldは、第2四半期の金生産量予測を18,000~20,000オンスに下方修正しました。これは、前回の予測から約10,000オンスの減少となります。 同社は、グース鉱山における2026年通年の金生産量見通しを170,000~230,000オンスで据え置きました。火災による粉砕鉱石の供給量減少の影響は、2026年第2四半期に限定されると予想されています。 同社の初期評価では、火災による被害は粉砕回路エリアに限定されていました。製粉所や発電施設への被害や影響はありませんでした。 負傷者は報告されておらず、治療を必要とした者もいませんでした。

TD Sees Bank of Canada Keeping Rates Unchanged Next Week as Core Inflation Forecast to Stay Close to Target
Canadian headline consumer price index inflation jumped up to 2.4% year over year in March, slightly less than consensus expectations, said TD after Monday's CPI data.Higher energy prices were a big part of the story, with inflation excluding energy up a more "modest" 2.2% year over year, noted the bank.Prices at the pump soared 21% month over month in March -- the largest increase on record.Higher oil prices boosted Canadian inflation in March, pointed out TD. Oil prices have fallen in recent days but remain nearly 40% higher than a year ago. That means energy prices are likely to keep headline inflation elevated for some time.April's inflation reading is likely to head much higher as the dampening effect of the removal of the consumer carbon levy falls out of the year-on-year inflation calculation, stated the bank.Given a generally soft economic backdrop in Canada, TD expects the effect on core prices to be "more modest." Core inflation is expected to stay reasonably close to the 2% target on a year-on-year basis this year.The Bank of Canada is widely expected to leave its key policy rate unchanged at 2.25% at next week's policy announcement. The bank will be listening closely for the BoC's assessment of the impact of the spike in oil prices on Canada's economy.
