the london-based gold producer targeting west africa saw its pretax profit multiply to usd1.34 billion in 2025 from usd114 million the year prior, as revenue rose 58% to usd4.23 billion from usd2.68 billion on-year.
gold production totalled 1.2 million ounces, up from 1.1 million ounces in 2024, while the average realised gold price per ounce jumped 38% to usd3,244 from usd2,349.
all-in sustaining cost per ounce ticked up to usd1,433, from usd1,218 on-year, and went above guidance for usd1,150 to usd1,350. endeavour noted that the target range had assumed an average gold price of usd2,000 per ounce. after adjusting for the impact of higher prices on royalties, the company estimated that 2025's aisc had remained within guidance at usd1,305.
endeavour mining shares fell 0.9% to 4,804.00 pence on thursday morning in london, and are up threefold over the past year.
looking ahead, the company has reiterated production guidance for 1.09 million to 1.27 million ounces of gold in 2026. between 2026 and 2028, it aims to pay a minimum total of usd1.0 billion in dividends, having paid out usd435 million through a combination of dividends and buybacks in 2025, which chief executive ian ****erill said "was 93% above our minimum commitment".
the firm noted environmental and exploitation permits for its assafou prospect, where it aims to complete a definitive feasibility study in the first quarter of 2026. endeavour plans to produce the first gold from assafou in 2028.
through to 2030, the company is targeting discovery of 12 million to 15 million ounces of measured, indicated and inferred resources, at a cost below usd40 per ounce.

these are simply blow out results for me. look at the cost for the new mine assafou just $40per oz!
for me this is is a strong buy and long hold. i will keep adding on any weakness here unless gold is returning to $4000 or below.
