Kinross reported a solid Q3-24 with record free cash flow, despite lower production at three of its highest-margin operations. Meanwhile, AISC margins soared 1,270 basis points year-over-year to 45.5%, benefiting from high-grade feed from its new 70% owned Manh Choh Mine. However, while 2024 has been a banner year, it's quite possible Kinross could see lower free cash flow looking ahead to 2025 with a dip in production at higher costs.
