AI summary

What happened and why it matters

Growth drivers include the Diamba Sud feasibility (IRR 60%, US$1B NPV) and Séguéla plant expansion (>200k oz/year), supported by robust liquidity and ongoing buybacks.

Diamba Sud IRR 60% and US$1B NPV provide high-value growth optionality.
Séguéla expansion to >200k oz/year compounds Fortuna's long-term production base.
Q2 FCF strength and liquidity underwrite ongoing buybacks and capex
Argentina peso and diesel-cost pressures pose near-term margins risk.

Sentiment rationale

Large free cash flow and robust liquidity underpin buybacks and optionality from high-IRR growth projects; near-term costs pressures exist but are expected to ease as Lindero and external factors normalize.
