Factors Likely to Have Shaped WPM’s Q2 Performance
Wheaton Precious Metals projects an attributable production of 600,000-670,000 gold equivalent ounces (GEOs) for 2025. The mid-point of the range indicates a 10% year-over-year increase in production. This factors in higher attributable production from Antamina, the start-up of several development projects (Blackwater, Goose, Mineral Park and Platreef) and a stable forecast for Salobo production. This is expected to have been partially offset by lower production from Peñasquito and Constancia.
Our model projects WPM’s total attributable production to be 148,461 GEOs for the second quarter of 2025, indicating a 2.6% year-over-year increase. The production figure includes attributable gold production of 86,697 ounces of gold (a 3.8% increase year over year).
After a record-breaking fourth-quarter 2024, production levels at Salobo have been stable in the first quarter of 2025. It is expected to have remained consistent year over year in the second quarter of 2025, with higher throughput levels attributable to the Salobo III expansion project anticipated to have been offset by lower gold grades. Our model projects a 0.1% year-over-year increase for the second quarter, attributable to gold production at 63,262 ounces.
Gold production at Sudbury is expected to be 5.8% higher year over year at 4,736 ounces. At Constancia, attributable gold production is projected to be 26.7% lower at 8,927 ounces due to decreased gold grades.
Our model projects WPM’s second-quarter gold sales volume to be 86,076 ounces, indicating 11.3% year-over-year growth. Gold realized prices are expected to be $3,258 per ounce, suggesting a 38.3% year-over-year rise.
The company’s second-quarter 2025 total gold sales are projected at $281 million, implying a 54% year-over-year rally. Gold sales are expected to have contributed 64% to WPM’s total sales.
Our model projects 5.11 million ounces of total attributable silver production (up 1.3% year over year). A 11.8% year-over-year increase at Antamina and a 25.7% rise in Constancia (on higher grades) are expected to have been offset by a 10.5% decline at Penasquito as mining moves back into the Peñasco pit, which contains lower silver grades.
Wheaton Precious Metals’ silver sales volume is expected to be 4.93 million ounces. Silver realized price is expected to be $30.63 per ounce, suggesting 5.2% year-over-year growth. This is likely to lead to silver sales of $151 million, projecting a 35.8% year-over-year rise. Silver sales are expected to have contributed 34.5% to the total sales.
Attributable production of palladium is projected at 2,371 ounces (down 45.4% year over year) while production for cobalt is expected at 372 thousand pounds (up 43.8%). Other metals’ production is projected at 2,799 GEOs for the second quarter.
Our model projects Wheaton Precious Metals to sell 145,682 GEOs in the second quarter, 18% higher than the prior-year quarter’s actual. Overall, the company’s second-quarter results are expected to reflect the gains of higher gold and silver prices.
