2 Basis of preparation

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, Interim Financial Reporting of International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"). These condensed interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB.

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements follow the same accounting policies and methods of application as the most recent audited consolidated financial statements of the Company.

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on May 5, 2020.

3 Significant accounting judgements and estimates

The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires judgements and estimates that affect the amounts reported. Those judgements and estimates concerning the future may differ from actual results. In addition to those reported in the 2019 annual consolidated financial statements, the following are the areas of accounting policy judgement and accounting estimates applied by management that most significantly affect the Company’s financial statements, including those areas of estimation uncertainty that could result in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.

COVID-19 estimation uncertainty

A global pandemic related to COVID-19 was declared in March 2020. The current and expected impacts on global commerce have been, and are anticipated to be, far-reaching. To date, there has been significant volatility in commodity prices and foreign exchange rates, restrictions on the conduct of business in many jurisdictions, including travel restrictions, and supply chain disruptions. There is significant ongoing uncertainty surrounding COVID-19 and the extent and duration of the impact that it may have.

The areas of judgement and estimation uncertainty for the Company which may be impacted include estimates used to determine recoverable reserves and resources, estimates used to determine the recoverable amounts of long-lived assets, estimates used to determine the recoverable amounts of value-added tax receivables and estimates regarding deferred income taxes and valuation allowances. Changes related to these could be material.

Mineral reserve and resource estimates

Mineral reserves are estimates of the amount of ore that can be economically and legally extracted from the Company’s mining properties. The Company estimates its Mineral reserves and mineral resources based on information compiled by appropriately qualified persons relating to the geological data on the size, depth and shape of the ore body, and requires complex geological judgements to interpret the data. The estimation of recoverable reserves is based upon factors such as estimates of foreign exchange rates, commodity prices, future capital requirements, metallurgical recoveries, permitting and production costs along with geological assumptions and judgements made in estimating the size, and grade of the ore body. Changes in the reserve or resource estimates may impact the carrying value of mining interests, mine restoration provisions, recognition of deferred tax assets, depreciation and amortization charges and royalties receivable.

(Unaudited)
Impairment of long-lived assets

Long-lived assets are tested for impairment, or reversal of a previous impairment, if there is an indicator of impairment or a subsequent reversal. Calculating the estimated recoverable amount of cash generating units for long-lived asset requires management to make estimates and assumptions with respect to future production levels, mill recoveries, operating and capital costs, future metal prices, foreign exchange rates, taxation rates, and discount rates in its life-of-mine plans and preparation of updated technical studies when relevant. Changes in any of the assumptions or estimates used in determining the recoverable amount could impact the analysis. Such changes could be material.

Value-added tax receivables

The Company incurs indirect taxes, including value-added tax, on purchases of goods and services at its operating mines and development projects. Indirect tax balances are recorded at their estimated recoverable amounts within current or long-term assets, net of provisions, and reflect the Company’s best estimate of their recoverability under existing tax rules in the respective jurisdictions in which they arise. Management’s assessment of recoverability considers the probable outcomes of claimed deductions and/or disputes. The provisions and balance sheet classifications made to date may be subject to change and such change may be material.

Uncertain tax positions

The Company’s operations involve the application of complex tax regulations in multiple international jurisdictions. Determining the tax treatment of a transaction requires the Company to apply judgement in its interpretation of the applicable tax law. These positions are not final until accepted by the relevant tax authority. The tax treatment may change based on the result of assessments or audits by the tax authorities often years after the initial filing.

The Company recognizes and records potential liabilities for uncertain tax positions based on its assessment of the amount,
or range of amounts, of tax that will be due. The Company adjusts these accruals as new information becomes available. Due to the complexity and uncertainty associated with certain tax treatments, the ultimate resolution could result in a payment that is materially different from the Company’s current estimate of the tax liabilities.

Current and deferred income taxes

The Company is periodically required to estimate the tax basis of assets and liabilities. Where applicable tax laws and regulations are either unclear or subject to varying interpretations, it is possible that changes in these estimates could occur that materially affect the amounts of deferred income tax assets and liabilities recorded in the financial statements. Changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities generally have a direct impact on earnings in the period that the changes occur.

Each period, the Company evaluates the likelihood of whether some portion or all of each deferred tax asset will not be realized. This evaluation is based on historic and future expected levels of taxable income, the pattern and timing of reversals of taxable temporary timing differences that give rise to deferred tax liabilities, and tax planning initiatives. Levels of future taxable income are affected by, among other things, market gold prices, production costs, quantities of proven and probable gold reserves, interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates.

Gramalote

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the company spent $13 million of the $14 million sole fund amount required to increase its stake in the project to 50%. Following the expenditure of the sole fund amount, each partner to the joint arrangement will fund its share of expenditures pro rata.

Toega

During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company signed a non-binding letter of intent for sale of the Toega project located in Burkina Faso. Subsequent to March 31, 2020, on April 28, 2020, the Company and its 10% partner GAMS-Mining F&I Ltd ("GAMS") entered into a definitive agreement with West African Resources Limited ("West African") for the sale of the Toega property. As a result, the carrying value of the Toega property of $23 million has been classified as an asset held for sale on the Condensed Interim Consolidated Balance Sheet at March 31, 2020.

The purchase consideration, due 90% to B2Gold and 10% to GAMS, consists of: an initial non-refundable cash payment of $10 million; a further payment of $10 million in cash or shares due upon completion of a feasibility study within 2 years (at which time the permits comprising the Toega project will be transferred to West African); production payments of $25 million in the form of a 3% net smelter returns ("NSR") royalty on production from the Toega project area; and a further 0.5% NSR royalty (to commence after the 3% NSR outlined above has been fully paid) which is capped at 1.5 million ounces.

Revolving credit facility

On May 10, 2019, the Company entered into a revised revolving credit facility ("RCF") agreement with its existing syndicate of banks plus one new lender. The maximum available for drawdown under the facility was increased from $500 million to $600 million with an accordion feature, available on the receipt of additional binding commitments, for a further $200 million.

The RCF bears interest on a sliding scale of between LIBOR plus 2.125% to 2.75% based on the Company’s consolidated net leverage ratio. Commitment fees for the undrawn portion of the facility are also on a similar sliding scale basis of between 0.478% and 0.619%. The term of the RCF is four years, maturing on May 9, 2023.

The Company has provided security on the RCF in the form of a general security interest over the Company’s assets and pledges creating a charge over the shares of certain of the Company’s direct and indirect subsidiaries. In connection with the RCF, the Company must also maintain certain ratios for leverage and interest coverage. As at March 31, 2020, the Company was in compliance with these debt covenants.

As at March 31, 2020, the Company had drawn down $175 million under the $600 million RCF, leaving an undrawn and available balance of $425 million.

Subsequent to March 31, 2020, on April 8, 2020, the Company drew down an additional $250 million under the RCF.

Fekola equipment loan facility

The Company is required to maintain a deposit in a debt service reserve account (“DSRA”) equal at all times to the total of the principal, interest and other payments that become payable over the next six month period. At March 31, 2020, the balance in the DSRA was Euro 8 million ($9 million equivalent).

Otjikoto equipment loan facility

The Otjikoto equipment loan facility was scheduled for repayment on or before December 31, 2023. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company elected to voluntarily repay the remaining balance on the loan.

Included in current income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2020 is $10 million (2019 - $5 million) related to the State of Mali's 10% priority dividend on its free carried interest in the Fekola Mine. This priority dividend is accounted for as an income tax in accordance with IAS 12, Income Taxes.

The Gramalote Joint Venture received notice from the Colombian Tax Office (DIAN) that it disagreed with the Joint Venture’s tax treatment of certain items in the 2013 and 2014 income tax returns, resulting in assessments with additional income taxes and penalty fines. These assessments are currently being appealed by the Gramalote Joint Venture and the outcome of these appeals cannot be determined at this time. The Company does not believe that its share of any taxes payable under the assessments are material and no provision for any amounts that may be payable have been recorded at this time, pending the outcome of the appeal process.
