Iamgold reported strong Q4 and 2024 results and trounced its initial annual guidance midpoint, with very strong performances from Westwood and Essakane. Unfortunately, Cote missed guidance because of some hiccups during the ramp-up period & while Q1 will be a weak quarter, we should see progressively better output as the year progresses. On a further positive note, Iamgold is optimistic it can extend Grand Duc's life and also add another year to mine life at Essakane, smoothing out its production profile post-2027.
