B2Gold Corp. announced that its founder, President and CEO Clive Johnson will retire at the company’s Annual General Meeting on June 4, 2026, and that Chief Financial Officer Mike Cinnamond will become President and CEO on that date while continuing to serve on the Board of Directors.
Johnson, who has led B2Gold since its founding in 2007, will assume the title of Chair Emeritus. In a statement, he said, “It has been a great privilege to have led B2Gold since its formation in 2007. Since then, we have grown the business through timely and well‑executed acquisitions to make the Company what it is today, a leading gold producer with multiple operating mines and development projects located around the world. I am especially proud of the fact that our values and our reputation as an efficient and transparent operator have enabled us to recruit and retain some of the best people in the mining industry. In addition, I am proud of the contributions to the communities in which we operate around the world, which hopefully leave them in a better place than when we arrived. Now is the right time to pass the torch and in making this decision I have every confidence in Mike to lead our next stage of growth. I am proud of my contributions to B2Gold and look forward to watching it create long‑term sustainable value for our shareholders in the years ahead.”
