Shares of gold stocks are trading higher in sympathy with overall market sentiment after the Fed policy decision to cut rates by 50 basis points.

Gold production in 2024 is expected to range between 550,000 and 590,000 ounces, a&nbsp;13%&nbsp;increase from the&nbsp;guidance&nbsp;provided in January 2024 (based on mid-point). The increase is driven by the incorporation of the Magino mine, as well as increased&nbsp;guidance&nbsp;from the Mulatos District.
Production&nbsp;guidance&nbsp;for 2025 has increased&nbsp;22%&nbsp;relative to previous&nbsp;guidance&nbsp;reflecting a full year of production from Magino, at higher milling rates.&nbsp;
Production&nbsp;guidance&nbsp;for 2026 has increased&nbsp;21%&nbsp;to between 630,000 and 680,000 ounces. This represents a&nbsp;30%&nbsp;increase from previous&nbsp;guidance&nbsp;for 2024 reflecting the inclusion of Magino, as well as the completion of the Phase 3+ Expansion at Island Gold.&nbsp;

Here's How Much You Would Have Made Owning Alamos Gold Stock In The Last 5 Years

PDA Project Highlights
<ul>

<li>After-tax Internal Rate of Return (&quot;IRR&quot;) of&nbsp;46%&nbsp;and after-tax Net Present Value (&quot;NPV&quot;) (5%) of&nbsp;$269 million&nbsp;(using base case gold price assumption of&nbsp;$1,950&nbsp;per ounce and a MXN/USD foreign exchange rate of 18:1)</li>
<li>After-tax IRR of&nbsp;73%&nbsp;and after-tax NPV (5%) of&nbsp;$492 million&nbsp;at current gold prices of approximately&nbsp;$2,500&nbsp;per ounce and a MXN/USD foreign exchange rate of 18:1</li>

<ul>
<li>Low initial capital to be internally funded by strong ongoing free cash flow generation at the Mulatos District
<ul>
<li>Initial capital of&nbsp;$165 million&nbsp;to be spent over a two-year period starting mid-2025.&nbsp;Life of mine capital is expected to total&nbsp;$231 million&nbsp;including&nbsp;$66 million&nbsp;of sustaining capital</li>
<li>Low initial capital intensity of&nbsp;$195&nbsp;per ounce produced,&nbsp;or&nbsp;$273&nbsp;per ounce based on total life of mine capital</li>
<li>PDA will benefit from the use of existing crushing and mill infrastructure from Cerro Pelon and Island Gold,&nbsp;supporting lower initial capital and project execution risk</li>
<li>La Yaqui Grande is expected to finance the development of PDA at base case gold prices of&nbsp;$1,950&nbsp;per ounce,&nbsp;following which PDA is expected to generate strong free cash flow. Through the first half of 2024, the Mulatos District generated&nbsp;$120 million&nbsp;of mine-site free cash flow</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Lower execution risk with PDA located within existing operation
<ul>
<li>Experienced team in Mexico with strong track record of building projects on schedule and within budget&nbsp;including La Yaqui Phase I, Cerro Pelon and La Yaqui Grande</li>

</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Significant exploration upside at PDA and Cerro Pelon
<ul>
<li>Higher-grade mineralization continues to be extended beyond existing Mineral Reserves and Resources at PDA&nbsp;and the deposit remains open in multiple directions, highlighting the potential for further growth</li>
<li>Higher-grade mineralization intersected below the past producing Cerro Pelon open pit which is expected to support an initial underground Mineral Resource with the year-end Mineral Reserve and Resource update to be released in February 2025. Cerro Pelon represents upside as a potential source of additional feed to the PDA sulphide mill that could extend the higher rates of production beyond the first four years of the current mine plan</li>
</ul>
</li>

$1000 Invested In This Stock 5 Years Ago Would Be Worth $2,700 Today

Editor&#8217;s name: This story has been updated to correct the spelling of Alamos Gold CEO John McCluskey&#8217;s name. 
Gold mining companies are ramping up <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/m-a/24/08/40309407/gold-fields-acquires-osisko-mining-for-1-57b-secures-control-over-highly-prospective-windfall-projec">M&amp;A activity</a> as record gold prices boost the free cash flow they can use to make deals.
As older mines become depleted and mining costs rise, quickly adding ounces in the ground is tempting, but it also adds the risk of paying too much or having trouble incorporating assets.
In the latest merger in the gold mining sector, Gold Fields Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GFI#NYSE">GFI</a>) said it plans to buy Osisko Mining Inc. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OBNNF#OTC">OBNNF</a>) for $1.57 billion in cash, giving the acquirer full ownership of the Windfall gold project in Canada.
&#8220;Deposits with the scale and quality of Windfall, combined with a world-class jurisdiction like Québec, are extremely rare," Gold Fields CEO&nbsp;Mike Fraser said in a prepared statement.

As gold companies rake in free cash flow from high gold prices, a big question this earnings season has been how they will allocate those funds, Bank of America analysts said in a note. Options include returning money to shareholders with dividends or share buybacks, exploring for gold and developing mines themselves, or buying other miners to bulk up on deposits quickly.
"Depleting resources, declining supply in old mines and the lack of new mines have been inherent threats to the industry," a Zacks Equity Research note said. "Due to the scarcity of discoveries and {exhausting of) existing resources, miners prefer building up reserves through acquisitions rather than digging new ones that are risky and capital-intensive."
On Friday, gold futures hit a record above $2,500 per ounce amid expectations of Federal Reserve rate cuts. The surge in the precious metal boosted gold mining stocks, with the&nbsp;VanEck Gold Miners ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GDX#NYSE">GDX</a>) rising 3.08% in Friday afternoon trading, as of last check.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">A Feeding Frenzy for Assets</h1>
Gold deals last year included Pan American Silver Corp.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PAAS#NASDAQ">PAAS</a>) and Agnico Eagle Mines Ltd.'s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AEM#NYSE">AEM</a>) purchase of Yamana Gold Inc. in a $4.8 billion cash-and-stock deal. But the blockbuster was the biggest-ever gold merger when Newmont Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NEM#NYSE">NEM</a>) bought Newcrest Mining Ltd. for nearly $17 billion.
The Newmont-Newcrest deal is sparking further interest in gold M&amp;A, as Newmont said it intends to sell eight mines, including two it acquired from Newcrest, to help pay down debt and focus on top-tier mines and a two-year share repurchase program.&nbsp;
Newmont CEO Tom Palmer in a recent conference call said 20 parties made bids for its Akyem property in Ghana, and seven of those companies are preparing bids for the second phase of the sale process.&nbsp;
"We're certainly seeing a competitive process and good value coming through," he said.
Meanwhile, the company had 67 parties participate in the first phase of the sales process for its&nbsp;Cripple Creek &amp; Victor, Éléonore, Porcupine, Musselwhite and Coffee mines in Canada. There were "around" 24 bids submitted, he said.
"We've had a range of bids, from a single asset to a bundle of assets to the full portfolio," Palmer said. "And we are busily now having received those bids just in recent days, working through a process of assessing those, and determining, which parties we'll take into Phase 2. There's some very nice competition in that process."
In another example of how M&amp;A begets more M&amp;A, Alamos Gold Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AGI#NYSE">AGI</a>) last month closed a $325 million all-stock deal for Argonaut Gold. Assets that Alamos didn't want were spun out and sold to Heliostar Metals Ltd. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HSTXF#OTC">HSTXF</a>) and Integra Resources Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ITRG#NYSE">ITRG</a>).
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Copper to Continue to Play a Role</h1>
A trend in gold mining has been gold companies accumulating substantial amounts of copper. Copper is often found alongside gold in the earth's crust, and copper mine lives can run into decades, giving gold shareholders the promise of cash flow if gold deposits wane.
Additionally, copper is increasingly attractive to both base and precious metals mining companies as experts estimate demand for the metal will continue increasing as nations electrify their economies. Copper is widely used in wiring and electric vehicle batteries.
One of the reasons Newmont bought Newcrest was the latter's large holdings of copper, as the latter added nearly 50 billion pounds of copper reserves and resources to Newmont's books in one fell swoop.
In 2023, Agnico Eagle bought a 50% interest in a Mexican copper-zinc project from Teck Resources Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TECK#NYSE">TECK</a>).
Meanwhile, Barrick Gold Corp.&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOLD#NYSE">GOLD</a>)&nbsp;is spending nearly $2 billion to expand a copper mine in Zambia and $7 billion to build a copper and gold mine in Pakistan, with new production from both expected to begin in 2028.&nbsp;
John McCluskey, CEO of Alamos Gold, told Benzinga he thinks the largest gold companies will continue to scoop up copper assets as part of a broader decades-long gold M&amp;A trend.
"At the major end, you're going to find that," he said.

The proceeds of the gold prepayment were used to eliminate gold forward purchase contracts, previously entered into by Argonaut Gold (&quot;Argonaut&quot;), totalling 179,417 ounces in 2024 and 2025 with an average price of&nbsp;$1,838&nbsp;per ounce. The transaction has eliminated more than half of the Argonaut hedge book and associated mark-to-market liability, while providing significantly increased exposure to rising gold prices.
As part of the recently closed acquisition of Argonaut, Alamos inherited Argonaut&#39;s hedge book which included gold forward purchase contracts totaling 329,417 ounces between 2024 and 2027. The average forward prices on the contracts ranged between&nbsp;$1,821&nbsp;and&nbsp;$1,860&nbsp;per ounce (Table 1). The transaction has closed out all of the 2024 and 2025 forward purchase contracts.
To fund the closing out of the hedges, Alamos entered into a gold prepayment agreement on attractive terms given the strong forward gold price environment. Under the terms of the gold prepayment, Alamos received total consideration of&nbsp;$116 million&nbsp;in exchange for the delivery of 49,384 ounces in 2025, settled monthly, based on average forward curve prices of&nbsp;$2,524&nbsp;per ounce. The gold prepayment was executed by Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (lead), Bank of Montreal, National Bank of Canada, and ING Capital Markets LLC.
The remaining Argonaut hedge book, inherited by Alamos on the close of the acquisition, consists of forward purchase contracts totaling 150,000 ounces in 2026 and 2027. This is expected to account for less than&nbsp;12%&nbsp;of total consolidated production over that time frame. The Company will continue to review opportunities to unwind the remaining 2026 and 2027 forward purchase contracts.

Taking into account the company's strong market position, outstanding financial performance, and portfolio expansion, should you invest in this stock? Read on to know more... Alamos Gold Inc. (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/AGI/">AGI</a>) engages in the acquisition, exploration, development, and extraction of precious metals in Canada and Mexico. The company is based in Toronto, Canada and primarily explores for gold deposits. The company posted operating revenues of $332.60 million, exceeding analysts' estimates of $293.46 million. And its EPS came in at $0.24 for the quarter, higher than the consensus estimate of $0.19.
During the second quarter, Alamos' Gold production exceeded the quarterly guidance of 123,000 to 133,000 ounces and increased by 2.3% year-over-year to 139,100 ounces, and its Gold sales improved 6.8% from the year-ago value to 140,923 ounces. Also, the average realized gold price was $2,336, up from the prior year's quarter value of $1,978.
The company recently updated its three-year production, operating, and capital guidance, raising consolidated gold production by 13% to range between 550,000 and 590,000 ounces from the prior range of 485,000 – 525,000 ounces. Subsequently, the company has raised the consolidated gold production range for 2025 and 2026 to 575,000 – 625,000 ounces and 630,000 – 680,000 ounces.
In the last quarter, AGI also provided an exploration update at Young-Davidson, having intersected a new style of higher-grade gold mineralization from the mid-mine. It also completed the acquisition of Argonaut and acquired Argonaut's Magino mine, located adjacent to Alamos' Island Gold mine in Ontario, Canada. And continued to strengthen its footprint in North American mines with expanding operations.
Further, the company's prospects are robust, backed by high volatility in gold prices touching record highs. <a href="https://www.reuters.com/markets/commodities/gold-breaks-2600-barrier-fed-cut-bets-prolong-historic-run-2024-09-20/">Gold surpassed the $2,600 level</a> during September for the first time, extending the rally. The market was further boosted by recent Fed interest rate cuts and hopes for further U.S. interest rate cuts, coupled with rising tensions in the Middle East.
Amid gold's impressive jump observed through the year, gold seems poised for further gains, and is forecasted to range from <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/gold-price-forecast-for-october-2024/">$2,600 to $2,800 per ounce</a> this year.
John A. McCluskey, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "Alamos delivered a record performance in the second quarter. Production exceeded quarterly guidance, increasing to a record 139,100 ounces. We also continue to create value through exploration and our various growth initiatives."
"The Phase 3+ Expansion is progressing well, and the integration of Island Gold with our recently acquired Magino mine is well underway. We expect the integration of the two operations to drive substantial synergies and unlock significant longer-term upside potential supported by the broad-based exploration success we are seeing across the Island Gold District."
Shares of AGI have gained 31% over the past six months and 59.7% over the past year to close its last trading session at $19.64.
Let's look at factors that could influence AGI's performance in the upcoming months.
Positive Recent Developments
On September 4, AGI reported new results from ongoing surface exploration drilling within the Mulatos District, emphasizing defining higher-grade mineralization at Puerto Del Aire and Cerro Pelon. It was reported that the 2024 drill program successfully expanded high-grade mineralization beyond the historical drilling in multiple oxide and sulphide zones.
On July 23, AGI reported results from underground and surface drilling at the Island Gold Mine. The exploration drilling continued to extend high-grade gold mineralization across the Island Gold Deposit and within several hanging wall and footwall structures. The findings are expected to drive further growth in high-grade Mineral Reserves and Resources with the year-end update.
