Share of revenueCommercial extraction and sale of gold from operating mines.
Silver output sold alongside gold from mining operations.
Advancing projects through studies, permitting, and construction readiness.
Drilling and geological work to replace reserves and add new resources.
Customers
Fortuna sells primarily into the precious metals value chain, where output is bought by smelters, refiners, and off-takers rather than end consumers. Its customer base is shaped by the physical sale of mined concentrate or doré, with pricing linked to prevailing gold and silver market benchmarks.
Buy doré or concentrate for refining and resale in precious metals markets.
Contract counterparties that purchase production under sales arrangements.
Indirect demand comes from bullion and industrial market channels that set pricing benchmarks.
Evaluate exploration and development projects for future supply optionality.
Strategy
Fortuna’s strategy centers on operating a geographically diversified precious metals portfolio while advancing exploration and development projects into future production. A key objective is to extend mine life and replace reserves through drilling, feasibility work, and technical studies, which supports longer-term production continuity.
Existing mines need ongoing drilling and studies to sustain output over time.
Development-stage assets create future production optionality and growth.
Multiple mines and countries reduce single-asset dependence.
Geography
Fortuna’s operations are concentrated in Latin America and West Africa, with producing and development assets in Argentina, Côte d’Ivoire, Guinea, Guyana, Peru, and Senegal. Its corporate base is in Vancouver, while mine jurisdictions determine permitting, infrastructure access, political exposure, and operating logistics.
Risks
Fortuna is exposed to the usual risks of precious metals mining: commodity price volatility, grade and reserve uncertainty, and operational disruptions at mine sites. Its multi-country footprint also creates permitting, tax, geopolitical, and logistics risks, while closure and reclamation obligations require ongoing estimation and funding discipline.
