B2Gold Corp. (TSX:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BTO#TSX">BTO</a>, NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BTG#NYSE">BTG</a>, NSX: B2G))) ("B2Gold" or the "Company") announces that it is closely monitoring a strike that began on November 29, 2024, by certain employees at the Company's Fekola Mine in Mali. Under the notice provided to the Company by the Fekola workers union, the strike commenced on November 29, 2024 with a seven day duration ending on December 5, 2024. The Company is continuing to operate the Fekola mill at full throughput capacity during this period and still expects to be toward the lower end of its annual production guidance for the Fekola Mine of between 420,000 and 450,000 ounces of gold in 2024.
The health, safety and security of B2Gold employees remains the Company's foremost priority. During the seven-day strike period, the Company is continuing to operate critical infrastructure and the mill on a reduced roster, maintaining the expected gold production profile during the period. It is important to note that under Malian legislation, employees are authorized to provide minimum service, and participation in strikes is not compulsory for employees who elect to continue to work.
The Company believes that the labour action is primarily in response to the action B2Gold has taken against a small number of Fekola employees that previously engaged in illegal activities detrimental to productivity at the Fekola Mine, including "go slow" actions by the mining employees and an illegal sit in at the Fekola management office in August 2024. During this period, B2Gold urged all Fekola employees to avoid involvement in these illegal activities and, in line with Malian law, Fekola's current union agreements and the B2Gold employee code of conduct, has commenced the disciplinary process for those employees who chose to engage in the illegal activities.
B2Gold remains ready and willing to participate in meetings with the Fekola workers union to reach a resolution, and will continue to adhere to legal procedures, respecting the rights of all its employees, inviting the union to engage in a constructive dialogue, and providing the authorities with all requested information. Fekola has well-documented and recognized procedures for raising any form of grievance, as well as established engagement platforms in place with union representatives, to engage on issues concerning B2Gold's employees. B2Gold is committed to the highest standards for integrity and transparency and will continue to focus on safe and sustainable mining at Fekola, which brings great benefits to the workforce, the surrounding communities and the State of Mali.
In addition, the Company continues to make progress with the State of Mali on their respective deliverables and implementation of the necessary steps under the Memorandum of Agreement signed in September 2024, including the issuance of the necessary permits to commence exploitation at Fekola Regional (located 25 kilometers north of the Fekola Mine). Upon issuance of the exploitation permit for Fekola Regional, mining operations will begin with initial gold production expected to commence in early 2025, with the potential to generate approximately 80,000 to 100,000 ounces of additional gold production on an annualized basis from Fekola Regional sources through the trucking of open pit ore to the Fekola mill. B2Gold continues to have a strong working relationship with the Malian Government.

Why Vision Marine Technologies Shares Are Trading Higher By 34%; Here Are 20 Stocks Moving Premarket

EV giant Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) started delivering the Cybertruck to customers in the U.S. a year ago on Nov. 30, 2023.
Deliveries Through The Year: According to data from automotive research company Kelley Blue Book,  <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41325252/tesla-cybertruck-leads-the-pack-as-most-popular-ev-truck-in-us-in-q3-outselling-rivals-from-ford-gm" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Tesla sold 16,692 Cybertrucks</a> in the third quarter in the U.S., trumping EV trucks from rivals including the Ford F-150 Lightning and the Rivian R1T, to become the third-best-selling EV behind Model Y and Model 3.
From the start of the year through the end of September, the company delivered 28,250 Cybertrucks, outselling Tesla&#8217;s other luxury vehicle offerings such as Model S and Model X. 
The company also started delivering the vehicle to customers in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40276652/tesla-cybertruck-reportedly-drives-into-canada-reservation-holders-get-invites-to-configure-their-or">Mexico and Canada this year </a>and production achieved a positive gross margin in the third quarter. 
Cybertruck Pricing: The Cybertruck is presently available in two variants. The lower-priced all-wheel drive variant starts at $79,990 and the higher-priced Cyberbeas variant at $99,990. 
However, during its unveiling in November 2019, Tesla said it would have three variants of the truck with the entry-level single-motor, rear-wheel-drive (RWD) version starting at $39,900, the dual motor all-wheel drive variant projected to begin at $49,900 and the top tier tri-motor all-wheel drive at $69,900. 
As deliveries began, however, the prices were higher, making it a premium EV choice popular among celebrities.
Upward But Below Expectations: While the growth in deliveries of Cybertruck is on an upward trajectory, it falls short of Tesla CEO Elon Musk&#8216;s expectations. The CEO has previously said that the company is aiming to make up 250,000 Cybertrucks in 2025. The vehicle, he then said, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/24/11/41841181/tesla-opens-cybertruck-lease-option-for-as-low-as-999-per-month">has demand </a>but is production-constrained owing to its unusual design. 
The company does not divulge model-wise delivery and production numbers. However, the company currently has an installed annual vehicle capacity of about 125,000 units only at its gigafactory in Texas, or half of Musk&#8217;s production goal for the next year. 
While a third and cheaper variant of Cybertruck is currently not listed on the company&#8217;s website, company engineer Wes Morrill said in August that the variant has<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40306075/tesla-cybertruck-lead-engineer-confirms-rear-wheel-drive-variant-of-stainless-steel-truck-has-not-be"> not been canceled</a> but instead may be available later. A cheaper variant may help drive the delivery numbers of the stainless steel truck higher.

IHS Holding Limited, (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IHS#NYSE">IHS</a>) ("IHS Towers"), one of the largest independent owners, operators and developers of shared communications infrastructure in the world by tower count, has signed a definitive agreement to sell IHS Towers' 70% interest in IHS Kuwait Limited ("IHS Kuwait") including its approximate 1,675 sites and an additional approximately 700 sites managed in Kuwait to Zain Group. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including government and regulatory approvals, and is expected to close in the first half of 2025.
The terms of the transaction reflect an enterprise value of $230 million for the IHS Kuwait portfolio, implying a transaction multiple of 14.2x based on an estimated IHS Kuwait Adjusted EBITDA after leases. This represents a significant premium compared to the current valuation multiple of the IHS Towers group.
Entering into this agreement is part of IHS Towers' ongoing strategic review targeted at shareholder value-creation options. As previously indicated, the proceeds will primarily be utilized to reduce company debt.
