Allied Gold Corporation
The stock rose 13.6% after Allied Gold reported Kurmuk’s first production and outlined a sharp production ramp, with 2027 output forecast at 615,000–670,000 ounces. The upside case is balanced by high current costs at Sadiola and the execution still required to reach commercial production at Kurmuk and improve performance at Sadiola.
