Perseus Mining (ASX:PRU) - Strong Gold Production, Buybacks & Dividends

Interview with Jeff Quartermaine, Managing Director & CEO of Perseus Mining Ltd.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/perseus-mining-asxpru-african-gold-producer-targets-25m-ounces-over-five-years-7295Recording date: 25th July 2025Perseus Mining's June 2025 quarter results demonstrate the compelling investment case for this African-focused gold producer, with cash and bullion balances reaching $827 million on continued operational excellence. The company delivered 121,237 ounces during the quarter at all-in sustaining costs of $1,417 per ounce, generating substantial margins of $1,560 per ounce at current gold prices. This performance extends Perseus's track record of consistent operational delivery across its three African mines, with full-year production of 496,551 ounces at $1,235 per ounce costs.The company's financial strength provides a solid foundation for growth initiatives while supporting shareholder returns. Perseus has consistently beaten its own cost guidance over multiple years, demonstrating disciplined capital allocation and operational efficiency. CEO Jeff Quartermaine's conservative guidance approach has resulted in the company regularly delivering below the bottom end of cost ranges, building credibility with investors seeking reliable performers in the volatile mining sector.Perseus's growth trajectory centers on the Nyanzaga project in Tanzania, scheduled for January 2027 production startup. Recent drilling results show spectacular intercepts that could significantly extend mine life beyond the current 11-year projection, with potential underground development adding substantial value. The company's five-year outlook demonstrates sustainable production above 500,000 ounces annually, dispelling concerns about production declines.The investment appeal extends beyond operations to strategic positioning. Perseus's diversified African portfolio provides exposure to underexplored geology while management's proven track record of community engagement and government relations mitigates jurisdiction risks. The company's dynamic hedging strategy offers downside protection while preserving upside exposure in the current favorable gold price environment. With strong cash generation, disciplined cost management, and multiple growth catalysts, Perseus Mining presents a compelling opportunity for investors seeking exposure to a well-managed, growing gold producer positioned to capitalize on sustained precious metals demand.—View Perseus Mining's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/perseus-miningSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com
