Business-activity disclosure

B2Gold operates gold mines in Africa and the Philippines. Gold extraction is retained as generally permissible, while jurisdiction, environmental obligations and non-gold by-product allocation require qualified review.

Limitation: The filing does not provide a universal prohibited-revenue numerator across metals, jurisdictions and mining contracts.

Purification

B2Gold discloses $3.092 million of interest income, but no scholar-approved purification percentage is asserted for the operating business.

Inputs, assumptions and primary sources
  • Amounts are USD millions from B2Gold's March 31, 2026 Q1 financial statements filed with its Form 6-K.
  • The $519.887 million debt input is the filing's March 31 total for convertible notes, revolving facility, equipment loans and lease liabilities.
  • Cash and cash equivalents are $479.394 million and receivables, prepaids and other are $82.942 million. No interest-bearing securities numerator is separately identified.
  • Quarterly gold revenue is $1,158.655 million and disclosed interest income is $3.092 million, or 0.27% of revenue.
  • Gold mining is retained as generally permissible qualitative activity, while jurisdiction, environmental, reclamation and by-product allocation require review.

This is a reproducible financial screen, not a fatwa. A failed total-assets screen can coexist with a pass under a market-cap methodology. ZakatInvest keeps the qualitative assessment separate so numerical thresholds do not erase material context.
