Alamos Gold Cuts Q2 Output to 130,000-135,000 Ounces as Earthquake Damage Sinks Shares 20%

Summary

  • Alamos Gold cut second-quarter production guidance to 130,000-135,000 ounces after earthquakes damaged a key mine, reducing the midpoint of its prior forecast by 12%.
  • Shares fell as much as 20% in Toronto on Friday, the Canadian miner’s biggest intraday drop since 2020, as investors reacted to the lower output outlook.
  • The guidance cut was disclosed a day earlier, tying the weaker production forecast directly to operational disruption at one of the company’s important mines.
