Orezone Gold (ASX:ORE) is set for growth at its Casa Berardi mine, with higher 2026 production guidance and a pathway to improved costs through optimization and expansion, Euroz Hartleys said in a note on Wednesday. The company has provided 2026 operating guidance for its newly acquired Casa Berardi gold mine, forecasting production of 62,000 to 67,000 ounces of gold at all-in sustaining costs (AISC) of $2,600 to $2,800 per ounce.
