-- Orezone (ASX:ORE) is poised for a stronger second half of 2026 after easing emulsion supply issues and the closing of Casa Berardi acquisition in March, which is ramping up production and exploration, Euroz Hartleys said in a note on Monday.
In the first quarter, the company's gold production rose 24% quarter-on-quarter to 38,789 ounces, even as performance was slightly affected by intermittent emulsion deliveries required for planned hard rock blasting, leading to lower grades in contrast to better-than-expected mill performance.
The company kept its Bomboré operations 2026 gold production guidance unchanged at 160,000 ounces to 180,000 ounces, in line with Euroz Hartleys' estimate of 173,000 ounces.
The investment firm reaffirmed its speculative buy rating and raised its price target to AU$4.35 from AU$4.25.
