New York spot gold rose $23.10 Thursday, taking a break at $4,997.10. The TSX Venture Exchange rose 20.87 points to 1,017.36 while the TSX gold index added 12.28 points to 1,003.05. Most Canadian-listed gold miners moved higher today. Iamgold Corp. (IMG) rose $1.50 to $30.67 on 4.21 million shares and New Gold Inc. (NGD) jumped 98 cents to $16.33 on 5.04 million shares. Thor Explorations Ltd. (THX), on the other hand, dipped two cents to $1.49 on 2.18 million shares, while Orvana Minerals Corp. (ORV) lost two cents to $1.67 on 240,000 shares.

Clive Johnson's B2Gold Corp. (BTO) had a bigger fall, dropping 34 cents to $7 on 40.04 million shares, but it had news. Consolidated gold production last year reached nearly 980,000 ounces, within the company's guidance but less than the market's expectation. Also disappointing the market is the company's 2026 production forecast, which calls for between 820,000 and 970,000 ounces of gold, mainly because of lower production at the Otjikoto and Fekola operations.
