Company history

B2Gold was founded in November 2006 by former managers of Bema Gold Corp. founded. The aim was to acquire exploration and project rights from Kinross Gold . After the IPO in December 2007, B2Gold took over Central Sun Mining Inc. two years later and thereby came into the possession of the two producing mines La Libertad and Limon (both in Nicaragua). With the acquisition of Amyx Gold Corp. in 2011. the Otjikoto project in Namibia was acquired. The following year, the advanced Masbate Mine project in the Philippines was acquired through the purchase of CGA Mining.

Masbate (2012) and Otjikoto (2013) started production in quick succession.

In 2014, B2Gold took over Papillon Resources with the Fekola mining project in Mali.
