Aris Mining is a company incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia, Canada. The address of the Company’s registered and records office is 2900-550 Burrard Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6C 0A3.
Business Overview
Aris Mining is a Canadian gold mining company focused on South America. The Company operates the Segovia and Marmato underground gold mines in Colombia, which together produced approximately 257,000 ounces of gold in 2025. Aris Mining is listed on the TSX and NYSE under the symbol ARIS.
The Company is advancing expansion projects at Segovia and Marmato that are expected to increase gold production to approximately 500,000 ounces per year, driven by the ramp-up at Segovia following the installation of the second mill, which was completed in June 2025, and construction of the new Marmato bulk mine and Carbon-In-Pulp (CIP) plant, with first gold expected in Q4 20261.
Aris Mining’s portfolio supports a longer-term objective of approximately 1 million ounces of annual gold production2. Key projects include the high-grade Soto Norte gold project in Colombia, where environmental studies are being finalized for submission in Q2 2026 to initiate the licensing process, and the Toroparu gold project in Guyana, where a Prefeasibility Study (PFS) is in progress to support a construction decision in early 2027.
Additional information is available at www.aris-mining.com, www.sedarplus.ca, and on www.sec.gov.
1 Reflects expected steady-state annual gold production run-rates of approximately 300 koz at Segovia and 200 koz at Marmato following completion and ramp-up of the respective expansion projects. For more information, please refer to the Company’s news releases dated June 30, 2025 regarding the Segovia expansion and March 12, 2025 regarding the Marmato expansion.
2 Includes potential production estimates from Toroparu, which is based on a preliminary economic assessment effective October 21, 2025, which contemplates a 7.0 Mtpa operation over a 21.3-year mine life with average annual gold production of approximately 235 koz at a base case gold price of US$3,000/oz. The preliminary economic assessment is preliminary in nature and includes inferred mineral resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves, and there is no certainty that the preliminary economic assessment will be realized. Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. There can be no assurance that the projected production will be achieved. In the case of Soto Norte and Toroparu, such production also remains subject to obtaining all necessary permits and to formal construction decisions by the Company.

Management's Discussion and Analysis For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 (all figures are expressed in thousands of United States Dollars, unless otherwise stated) |
Q1 2026 Financial Highlights
•Gold revenue increased to $364 million, up 21% from $301 million in Q4 2025, driven by a 4% increase in gold ounces sold and continued strength in realized gold prices.
•EBITDA increased to $182 million from $120 million in Q4 2025, primarily driven by higher income from mining operations.
•Adjusted EBITDA increased to $212 million, compared to $168 million in Q4 2025, after normalizing for non-cash and non-recurring items. On a trailing 12-month basis, Adjusted EBITDA reached $610 million, demonstrating substantial leverage to higher gold prices.
•Net earnings increased to $98 million, from $51 million in Q4 2025. Results for Q1 2026 include $204 million in income from mining operations, up from $158 million in Q4 2025.
•Adjusted net earnings of $124 million or $0.60 per share, up from $94 million or $0.46 per share in Q4 2025.
•Cash and cash equivalents increased to $472 million at March 31, 2026, up from $392 million at December 31, 2025. The increase primarily reflects:
◦$103 million of operating free cash flow after sustaining capital and taxes paid;
◦$40 million installment received under Marmato's precious metals stream following achievement of the 50% construction capital expenditures milestone;
◦$15 million of debt repayment and servicing;
◦$61 million invested in growth and expansion capital.
•Net debt was reduced to $1.6 million, down from $86 million at year-end 2025.
Q1 2026 Operational Highlights
•Gold production totaled 74,339 ounces, representing a 6% increase from the 69,852 ounces produced in Q4 2025.
•Segovia
◦Produced 66,567 ounces in Q1 2026, a 5% increase over Q4 2025, reflecting the processing of 175,370 tonnes at an average gold grade of 12.41 g/t, compared to 201,060 tonnes at 10.10 g/t in Q4 2025. Gold recoveries were 95.3%, compared to 96.1% in Q4 2025.
◦AISC margin increased to $199 million, up 31% from Q4 2025, reflecting higher realized gold prices and increased gold sales volumes.
◦Owner-operated mining (Owner Mining) comprised 64% of the mill feed, consistent with Q4 2025. AISC was $1,492 per ounce, compared to $1,662 per ounce in Q4 2025, outperforming the full-year 2026 guidance range of $1,700 to $1,800 per ounce, primarily reflecting a 14% increase in Owner Mining attributable ounces sold driven in part by higher average grades.
◦Contract Mining Partner (CMP) sourced gold comprised 36% of the mill feed and generated an AISC sales margin of 40%, achieving the top end of the full-year 2026 guidance range of 35% to 40%. This compares with sales margin of 46% in Q4 2025, with lower Q1 margin reflecting changes in the grade and volume mix delivered by CMPs.
◦Combined AISC of $1,963 per ounce, compared to $1,891 per ounce in Q4 2025. Q1 2026 results reflecting the factors driving Owner Mining and CMP AISC as described above.
•Marmato
◦Produced 7,772 ounces, a 16% increase over Q4 2025, reflecting the processing of 77,040 tonnes at 3.53 g/t, compared to 74,568 tonnes at 3.12 g/t in Q4 2025. Production in Q1 2026 reflects the operating capacity of the existing flotation plant and mill feed sourced primarily from ore development and stopes in the Bulk Mining Zone, with throughput expected to increase materially upon commissioning of the new CIP plant in Q4 2026.

Management's Discussion and Analysis For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 (all figures are expressed in thousands of United States Dollars, unless otherwise stated) |
•Marmato construction advancing on schedule
▪In April 2026, the new underground decline broke through into the cross-cut, marking an important milestone that provides direct access from the Bulk Mining Zone to the new CIP plant. This connection establishes an additional access and ventilation pathway, facilitates ore and waste haulage between existing and new infrastructure, and supports the initial ramp-up of mine production.
▪The main civil, mechanical, and electrical works are advancing, with foundations for the mills, tailings thickener, and leach and CIP tanks completed.
▪Construction of underground workshops and ore storage, main pump station, and field offices is scheduled to begin in Q2 2026.
▪Construction of the new 5,000 tonnes per day (tpd) CIP plant remains on schedule for first gold in Q4 2026.
▪During Q1 2026, the Company invested $41 million towards the construction of the Marmato expansion project.
•Toroparu Project (100% owned, Guyana)
▪Aris Mining initiated a Prefeasibility Study (PFS) in Q4 2025, targeted for completion in H2 2026, to support a construction decision in early 2027.
▪Work on updated mineral resource and reserve estimates is progressing well with mine scheduling and optimizations currently underway.
▪Alongside the PFS, the Company is conducting geotechnical drilling, metallurgical test work, mining operation trade-off studies and detailed engineering to enable construction readiness by early 2027.
▪Select pre-construction activities continued during the quarter, including construction of the bridge at the Puruni River crossing, key personnel ramp up, camp expansion and ongoing road works.
▪Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) completed in October 2025, outlining an attractive project with after-tax NPV5% of $1.8 billion, IRR of 25.2%, and 3.0-year payback at $3,000/oz gold.
▪During Q1 2026, capital expenditures totaled $5.3 million at Toroparu.
•Soto Norte Project (100% owned, Colombia)
▪The studies required for submission of the environmental license application in support of the development of Soto Norte are nearing completion, supporting a targeted Q2 2026 submission.
▪The Company continues active engagement with the Colombian regulators to support a collaborative approach to the environmental license submission and review process.
▪PFS completed in September 2025, demonstrating robust economics with an after-tax NPV5% of $2.7 billion, IRR of 35%, and 2.3-year payback at $2,600/oz gold.
▪Strong leverage to higher gold prices, at $3,000/oz the NPV5% increases to $3.3 billion with IRR of 40%.
▪The PFS incorporates industry-leading environmental and social design features, including a metallurgical process free of cyanide and mercury and the integration of local community miners — 750 tpd (over 20% of Soto Norte's 3,500 tpd processing capacity) has been dedicated to local contract mining partners.
▪During Q1 2026, capital expenditures totaled $3.4 million at Soto Norte.

Operating Performance | Segovia
Segovia is 100% owned by the Company and is located in a historic mining district of Colombia. Approximately 40% of the gold sold in 2025 was produced using mill feed purchased from CMPs, which was sourced from both within and outside of the Company’s mining titles. The operations include four underground mines and two processing facilities:
•A conventional processing facility, that produces doré and was expanded from 2,000 to 3,000 tpd in June 2025, with ramp-up continuing to advance in line with management's expectations.
•A 200 tpd polymetallic processing plant that recovers lead and zinc concentrates, including gold and silver from tailings.

All-In Sustaining Costs and Margin
Q1 2026 compared to Q4 2025
AISC at Segovia including both, Owner Mining and CMPs costs, averaged $1,963 per ounce in Q1 2026, a 4% increase from $1,891 per ounce in Q4 2025. The slight increase reflects the increased cost of purchased CMP material due to higher gold prices, partially offset by lower Owner Mining cash costs from higher sales volumes.
AISC margin was $198.7 million, up 31% from $151.3 million in Q4 2025, supported by higher realized gold prices.
•Owner Mining: AISC improved to $1,492 per ounce from $1,662 per ounce in Q4 2025, primarily reflecting higher gold ounces sold (45,789 ounces compared to 40,260 ounces) on stronger average gold grades. Owner Mining AISC margin increased to $155.9 million from $102.7 million in Q4 2025.
•CMPs: AISC averaged $2,948 per ounce, compared to $2,270 per ounce in Q4 2025, primarily reflecting higher mill feed purchase costs which are linked to prevailing gold prices. CMP AISC margin was $42.7 million, compared to $48.6 million in Q4 2025.
Q1 2026 compared to Q1 2025
Combined AISC at Segovia averaged $1,963 per ounce in Q1 2026, up 25% from $1,570 per ounce in Q1 2025. The increase was primarily driven by the same factors described above, relating to increased CMP mill feed purchase costs, higher royalties and social contributions, which are all linked to the prevailing gold price, partially offset by lower Owner Mining costs attributable to increased production and sales volumes.
AISC margin more than tripled to $198.7 million in Q1 2026, compared to $60.9 million in Q1 2025, reflecting both higher realized gold prices and higher gold production volumes.
| | |
Management's Discussion and Analysis For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 (all figures are expressed in thousands of United States Dollars, unless otherwise stated) |
•Owner Mining: AISC averaged $1,492 per ounce, consistent with $1,482 per ounce in Q1 2025. Owner Mining AISC margin increased to $155.9 million, from $37.0 million in Q1 2025.
•CMPs: AISC averaged $2,948 per ounce, compared to $1,687 per ounce in Q1 2025, reflecting the same gold-price-linked cost drivers described above. CMP AISC margin was $42.7 million, compared to $23.9 million in Q1 2025.
Growth and Expansion
Non-sustaining growth capital expenditures at Segovia totaled $5.5 million in Q1 2026, compared to $16.2 million in Q4 2025 and $6.4 million in Q1 2025. The Q1 2026 expenditure comprised $5.4 million for underground mine development to support the ramp-up of expanded mill capacity, and amounts for near-mine exploration drilling and tailings infrastructure.

Production
Q1 2026 compared to Q4 2025
Gold production totaled 7,772 ounces, compared to 6,715 ounces produced in Q4 2025. The increase reflects a 13% increase in average gold grade, and a 3% increase in throughput, partially offset by slightly lower recoveries. Quarterly throughput continues to reflect the operating capacity of the existing flotation plant, with mill feed sourced primarily from ore development and stopes in the Bulk Mining Zone ahead of CIP plant commissioning in Q4 2026.
Q1 2026 compared to Q1 2025
Gold production for Q1 2026 was up 8% compared to Q1 2025, reflecting a 6% increase in average gold grade and a 4% increase in throughput, partially offset by a slight decline in recoveries.
Gold Revenue
Q1 2026 compared to Q4 2025
Gold revenue totaled $32.2 million, compared to $28.1 million in Q4 2025. The increase was driven by a higher average realized gold price of $4,514 per ounce, partially offset by slightly lower gold ounces sold.
Q1 2026 compared to Q1 2025
Compared to Q1 2025, gold revenue increased 71% to $32.2 million from $18.8 million. The increase was driven by a higher average realized gold price of $4,514 per ounce, compared to $2,733 per ounce, together with a 4% increase in gold ounces sold.
Growth and Expansion
Non-sustaining growth capital expenditures at Marmato totaled $47.0 million in Q1 2026, compared to $43.6 million in Q4 2025 and $29.7 million in Q1 2025. Growth capital expenditures in Q1 2026 included:

Q1 2026 compared to Q4 2025
Operating Drivers
Revenue increased $63.9 million, or 21%, to $372.5 million in Q1 2026 from $308.6 million in Q4 2025, primarily driven by a 16% increase in the average realized gold price, which rose to $4,861 per ounce from $4,200 per ounce, contributing $49.4 million to the favorable variance. Higher gold ounces sold contributed a further $13.1 million.
Cost of sales and social contributions increased $18.8 million, or 14%, to $152.5 million in Q1 2026 from $133.7 million in Q4 2025, primarily reflecting higher CMP mill feed purchases at Segovia (+$10.7 million), which are linked to prevailing gold prices, higher social contributions (+$4.0 million), also driven by higher realized gold prices, and higher owner-operated mining costs (+$2.8 million) driven largely by the appreciation of the Colombian peso (COP) against the USD during the quarter. Royalties also increased $3.7 million in line with higher realized gold prices.

Management's Discussion and Analysis For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 (all figures are expressed in thousands of United States Dollars, unless otherwise stated) |
Corporate Drivers
Share-based compensation expense was $13.1 million lower in Q1 2026 compared to Q4 2025. Cash-settled performance share units (PSUs) and deferred share units (DSUs) are fair valued based on the Company's share price. Q1 2026 reflected a lower revaluation expense due to a lower share price appreciation than in the prior quarter.
Income tax expense
Income tax expense increased $17.6 million compared to Q4 2025, primarily reflecting higher taxable income from mining operations driven by higher realized gold prices and increased gold ounces sold.
Q1 2026 compared to Q1 2025
Operating Drivers
Revenue increased $215.0 million, or 136%, to $372.5 million in Q1 2026 from $157.5 million in Q1 2025, driven by a 71% increase in the average realized gold price, contributing $151.3 million, combined with a 38% increase in gold ounces sold, which contributed a further $58.4 million. By-product revenue was $5.3 million higher, reflecting increased volumes and stronger metal prices.
Cost of sales and social contributions increased $65.7 million, or 76%, to $152.5 million in Q1 2026 from $86.8 million in Q1 2025, primarily reflecting higher gold-price-linked CMP mill feed purchases at Segovia (+$23.9 million), higher social contributions (+$9.0 million) from higher gold prices and sales volumes, higher Segovia owner-operated mining costs (+$9.6 million) from increased throughput and production, and higher Marmato costs (+$6.5 million), reflecting higher processing and administration costs. Royalties also increased $8.1 million in line with higher realized gold prices and gold sales volumes.
Depreciation and depletion increased $5.5 million compared to Q1 2025, primarily reflecting increased production and a higher depletable cost base following continued sustaining capital investment and the commissioning of the second mill at Segovia in June 2025.
Non-operating Drivers
The fair-value-loss relating to the listed Warrants in Q1 2025 had no corresponding impact in Q1 2026 following the exercise and expiry of all outstanding ARIS.WT.A Listed Warrants on July 30, 2025. The warrants were classified as a financial liability and marked to market through profit and loss, with the valuation driven primarily by changes in the Company’s share price.
Foreign exchange loss in Q1 2026 was $5.6 million unfavorable compared to Q1 2025, primarily due to the continued appreciation of the COP against the USD during the quarter, which resulted in higher translation losses on USD-denominated monetary balances held in COP-functional entities.
Other expense increased by $5.0 million compared to Q1 2025, primarily reflecting the recognition of a temporary Colombian wealth tax that was announced in February 2026. This one-time emergency decree was levied on the net equity of certain Colombia-domiciled entities.
Income tax expense
Income tax expense increased $46.0 million compared to Q1 2025, primarily reflecting higher taxable income from mining operations driven by higher realized gold prices and increased gold ounces sold at both Segovia and Marmato.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
Working capital
The Company continues to maintain a strong liquidity position, and with the combination of operating cash flows from Segovia, Marmato, and remaining milestone payments from Wheaton Precious Metals International (WPMI), the Company expects to have sufficient cash available to fund operating activities, expansion projects, and strategic initiatives, including the advancement of the Marmato expansion, and study work at Soto Norte and Toroparu.
As at March 31, 2026, the Company held a working capital surplus, calculated as current assets minus current liabilities, of $281.0 million (December 31, 2025 - $232.2 million) which was underpinned by a cash balance of $472.1 million. Cash and cash equivalents increased by $80.2 million in 2026. The increase primarily reflects stronger operating cash flow resulting from higher gold sales, $40.0 million installment received under Marmato's precious metals stream financing following achievement of the 50% construction capital expenditure milestone, partially offset by continued investment in growth projects. Notably, the Company advanced construction of the new CIP processing facility at Marmato, and made debt service payments including scheduled interest and premiums on its Gold-linked Notes.

Management's Discussion and Analysis For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 (all figures are expressed in thousands of United States Dollars, unless otherwise stated) |
Financial Instruments and Financial Risk Management
The nature of the acquisition, exploration, development and operation of gold properties exposes the Company to risks associated with fluctuations in commodity prices, foreign currency exchange rates and credit risk. The Company may at times enter into risk management contracts to mitigate these risks. It is the Company’s policy that no speculative trading in derivatives shall be undertaken.
The Company may at times hold financial instruments, derivatives and/or contracts containing embedded derivatives that are recorded on the consolidated balance sheet at fair value. Financial liabilities classified or designated at fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL"), including the Gold Notes, are measured at fair value at each reporting date, with changes in fair value recognized in profit or loss, except for changes attributable to the Company’s own credit risk, which are recognized in other comprehensive income.
Aris Mining Holdings Corp. (Aris Holdings), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, has Gold Notes that trade on the Cboe Canada under the symbol “AMNG.NT.U” as described in note 11 of the 2025 annual financial statements. As of March 31, 2026, the outstanding principal value is $23.6 million. The Gold Notes bear interest at 7.5% per annum, payable monthly. In addition to the interest, the Gold Notes pay a gold premium calculated each quarter as the amount by which the London Bullion Market Association Gold Price on the measurement date exceeds the floor price of $1,400. We have not entered into any instruments to hedge against the market movement of gold, and there is risk that rising gold prices would result in higher premiums to be paid. However, there is a natural hedge to this risk as rising gold prices result in higher cash flows from increased AISC margins that are available to fund the potential exposure.
Further information about our financial instruments, derivatives and contracts containing embedded derivatives and associated risks is outlined in note 17 in our 2025 audited annual consolidated financial statements.
Contractual Obligations and Commitments
The Company manages its liquidity risk by continuously monitoring forecast cash flow requirements. The Company believes it has sufficient cash resources to pay its obligations associated with its financial liabilities as at March 31, 2026. In addition to other commitments already disclosed, the Company’s undiscounted commitments including interest and premiums at March 31, 2026 are as follows:

Aris Mining’s gold and silver production from the Marmato and future production from the Toroparu Project are subject to the terms of streaming agreements with WPMI.
Liquidity risk
Associated with the contractual obligations and commitments summarized above, the Company manages its liquidity risk by continuously monitoring forecasted cash flow requirements, as well as any requirements that arise by virtue of the financial instruments held by the Company. The Company believes it has sufficient cash resources to pay its obligations associated with its financial liabilities as at March 31, 2026.
Contingencies
In the ordinary course of business, the Company is involved in and potentially subject to legal actions and proceedings. The Company records provisions in its financial statements for such claims when considered material and an outflow of resources is considered probable.

Management's Discussion and Analysis For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 (all figures are expressed in thousands of United States Dollars, unless otherwise stated) |
The Company is subject to tax audits from various tax authorities on an ongoing basis. As a result, from time to time, tax authorities may disagree with the positions and conclusions taken by the Company in its tax filings or legislation could be amended or interpretations of current legislation could change, and any of these events could lead to reassessments. The Company records provisions for such claims when it determines there will be a tax liability associated with its filing position.
Outstanding Share Data
As at the date of this MD&A, the Company has 206.4 million common shares issued and outstanding and 4.3 million common shares issuable under stock options. A further 6 million common shares are issuable to Mubadala following receipt of an environmental license to develop Soto Norte.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This MD&A refers to a number of non-GAAP financial measures and non-GAAP ratios, which are not measures recognized under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS. The non-GAAP financial measures and non-GAAP ratios described below do not have standardized meanings under IFRS, may differ from those used by other issuers, and may not be comparable to similar financial measures and ratios reported by other issuers. These financial measures and ratios have been derived from our financial statements and applied on a consistent basis as appropriate. The Company discloses these financial measures and ratios because the Company believes that they assist readers in understanding the results of our operations and financial position and provide further information about our financial results to investors. These measures should not be considered in isolation or used as a substitute for other measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS.
Total cash costs and All-in sustaining costs
Total cash costs and total cash costs per ounce sold are a non-GAAP financial measure and a non-GAAP ratio, respectively, and are common financial performance measures in the gold mining industry; however, they have no standard meaning under IFRS. Total cash costs per ounce sold are calculated by dividing total cash costs by volume of gold ounces sold. Aris Mining believes that, in addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with IFRS such as cost of sales, certain investors use this information to evaluate the Company's performance and ability to generate cash flow from its mining operations. Management uses this metric as an important tool to monitor operating costs. Management has included a secondary total cash cost and total cash cost per ounce measure, that includes the cost of royalties incurred on precious metal shipments from Segovia. This measure adds back the cost of royalties to total cash cost and is intended to be reflective of the total cash cost associated with operating in Colombia.
AISC and AISC ($ per oz sold) are a non-GAAP financial measure and a non-GAAP ratio, respectively, and are common financial performance measures in the gold mining industry; however, they have no standard meaning under IFRS. AISC ($ per oz sold) is calculated by dividing AISC by volume of gold ounces sold. The methodology for calculating AISC was developed internally and is calculated below, and readers should be aware that this measure does not have a standardized meaning. This non-GAAP measure provides investors with greater transparency regarding the total period cost of producing an ounce of gold and may assist in comparisons with other gold mining peers. Management uses this metric as an important tool to monitor operating costs. Accordingly, it is intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS.

AISC margin
AISC margin is a non-GAAP financial measure calculated as the difference between gold revenue and all-in sustaining costs (AISC). This measure has no standard meaning under IFRS. AISC margin is used by management and investors to evaluate the Company's operating performance and cash generation capability from mining operations.

Free cash flow
Operating free cash flow after sustaining capital and taxes paid and free cash flow after growth and expansion capital are non-GAAP financial measures and are common performance metrics in the gold mining industry; however, they have no standardized meaning under IFRS and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers.
Operating free cash flow after sustaining capital and taxes paid is calculated as net cash provided by operating activities, adjusted to exclude certain non-recurring or non-operating items, less sustaining capital expenditures and sustaining lease payments. Free cash flow after growth and expansion capital is calculated as operating free cash flow after sustaining capital and taxes paid less growth and expansion capital expenditures.
Aris Mining believes that these measures provide investors and analysts with useful information about the Company’s ability to generate cash from its mining operations after maintaining its asset base, and its capacity to fund growth initiatives, reduce debt, strengthen liquidity, or return capital to shareholders. Management uses these measures as key internal indicators of financial performance and capital discipline. These measures are intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures prepared in accordance with IFRS, including net cash provided by operating activities as reported in the consolidated statement of cash flows.

Adjusted net earnings and adjusted net earnings per share
Adjusted net earnings and adjusted net earnings per share (basic) are a non-GAAP financial measure and non-GAAP ratios, respectively, and are common financial performance measures in the gold mining industry; however, they have no standard meaning under IFRS. Adjusted net earnings per share (basic) are calculated by dividing adjusted net earnings by the number of shares outstanding on a basic basis.
Adjusted net earnings and adjusted net earnings per share (basic) are used by management and investors to measure the underlying operating performance of the Company. Presenting these measures from period to period helps management and investors evaluate earnings trends more readily in comparison with results from prior periods.
Adjusted net earnings is defined as net income adjusted to exclude specific items that are significant but not reflective of the underlying operating performance of the Company, such as: share-based payments, change in fair value of financial instruments, foreign exchange gains and losses, income and losses from equity accounting in investees, and other non-recurring items. Adjusted net earnings per share amounts are calculated using the weighted average number of shares outstanding on a basic basis as determined under IFRS. In the table below the Company has provided the reconciliation of adjusted net earnings to the most directly comparable financial measure disclosed in the Interim Financial Statements.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are Non-GAAP financial measures and are common financial performance measures in the gold mining industry; however, they have no standard meaning under IFRS. EBITDA represents earnings before interest (including non-cash accretion of financial obligations and lease obligations), income taxes and depreciation, depletion and amortization.
EBITDA is then adjusted to exclude specific items that are significant but not reflective of the underlying operating performance of the Company, such as: share-based payments, change in fair value of financial instruments, foreign exchange gains and losses, income and losses from equity accounting in investees, and other non-recurring items (Adjusted EBITDA). In the table below the Company has provided the reconciliation of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable financial measure disclosed in the Interim Financial Statements.

Management's Discussion and Analysis For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 (all figures are expressed in thousands of United States Dollars, unless otherwise stated) |
Accounting Matters
Basis for preparation and accounting policies
The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). Details of the material accounting policies for significant (or potentially significant) areas that have had an impact (or may have an impact in future periods) on the Company’s financial statements are disclosed in note 3 of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.
Risks and Uncertainties
Exploration, development and mining of precious metals involves numerous inherent risks. As such, Aris Mining is subject to financial, operational and political risks that could have a significant impact on its profitability and levels of operating cash flows. Although Aris Mining assesses and minimizes these risks by applying high operating standards, including careful management and planning of its facilities, hiring qualified personnel and developing their skills through training and development programs, these risks cannot be eliminated. Readers are encouraged to read and consider the risk factors which are more specifically described under the caption "Risk Factors" in the Company's AIF for the year ended December 31, 2025 dated as of March 11, 2026, which is available on www.aris-mining.com, under the Company's profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca and in its filings with the SEC at www.sec.gov.
If any of these risks materialize into actual events or circumstances or other possible additional risks and uncertainties of which the Company is currently aware or which it considers to be material in relation to the Company's business actually occur, the Company's assets, liabilities, financial condition, results of operations (including future results of operations), business and business prospects, are likely to be adversely affected. In such circumstances, prices of the Company's securities could decline, and investors could lose all or part of their investment. In addition, such risk factors could cause actual amounts to differ from those described in the forward-looking statements related to the Company.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures and Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting
Internal controls over financial reporting
Disclosure controls and procedures have been designed to provide reasonable assurance that all material information required to be disclosed by the Company is accumulated and communicated to senior management as appropriate, and recorded, processed, summarized, and reported to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure, including in its annual filings, interim filings, or other reports filed or submitted under securities legislation.
The Company's management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, is responsible for establishing adequate internal controls over financial reporting.
Changes in internal controls
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, there were no changes in the Company's internal controls over financial reporting that materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company's internal controls over financial reporting.
Limitations of controls and procedures
The Company's management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, believe that any disclosure controls and procedures or internal controls over financial reporting, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, they cannot provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been prevented or detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by unauthorized override of the control. The design of any systems of controls is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Accordingly, because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

1. Nature of Operations
Aris Mining Corporation (the “Company” or “Aris Mining”), is a company incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia, Canada. The address of the Company’s registered and records office is 2900 – 550 Burrard Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6C 0A3. The Company’s common shares are listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) and on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") under the symbol “ARIS”.
Aris Mining is primarily engaged in the acquisition, exploration, development and operation of gold properties in Colombia and Guyana. Aris Mining operates the Segovia and Marmato Mines and the Soto Norte Project in Colombia. Aris Mining also owns the Toroparu Project in Guyana.
2. Basis of Presentation
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements, as approved by the Company's Board of Directors on May 6, 2026, have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standards (“IAS”) 34, Interim Financial Reporting, using accounting policies consistent with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). Certain disclosures required by IFRS have been condensed or omitted in the following note disclosures or are disclosed or have been disclosed on an annual basis only. Accordingly, these condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 (“annual financial statements”), which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost basis, except for certain financial assets and liabilities which are measured at fair value, and are presented in US dollars. They have been prepared on a going concern basis assuming that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business as they come due for the foreseeable future.
3. Summary of Material Accounting Policy Information
The material accounting policies are the same as those applied in preparing the annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025 other than those listed below. These financial statements comprise the financial results of the Company and its subsidiaries.
Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealized gains on transactions between group companies are eliminated. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been aligned, where necessary, to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Company.
New accounting policies
The Company has equity-settled and cash-settled share-based compensation plans under which it issues either equity instruments or makes cash payments based on the value of the underlying equity instrument of the Company. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company granted 143,889 restricted share units.
Restricted Share Units ("RSUs")
RSUs are an equity-based instrument introduced to the 2026 pay mix under the Company's long-term incentive plan for directors and employees. Each RSU represent the right for the holder to receive a cash payment (subject to withholding tax) when the RSUs have vested. RSUs are cash settled in accordance with their terms at the prevailing market price (the five-day volume weighted average price) of the shares on the vesting date.
The RSUs represent a financial liability as they can only be settled in cash once they have vested. As such, the RSU compensation expense is recognized at fair value over the vesting period with a corresponding amount recorded in other liabilities on the statement of financial position. The RSU liability is remeasured to its fair value using the closing share price at each period end with the change in fair value during the period recognized as share-based compensation.
New accounting standards issued and effective
IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments
On May 30, 2024, the IASB published amendments to IFRS 9 Financial Instruments ("IFRS 9") to clarify the derecognition requirements for financial instruments. The amendments clarify that financial assets are derecognized when the rights to receive contractual cash flows expire or the assets are transferred, and that financial liabilities are derecognized on the settlement date when the obligation is extinguished. The amendments also introduced an election allowing an entity to derecognize a financial liability prior to the settlement date when settling through an electronic payment system, provided specified conditions are met, including that the payment is irrevocable, the cash is no longer accessible, and settlement risk is insignificant. These amendments were adopted for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2026 and did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.

New accounting standards issued but not effective
IFRS 18 – Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements
On April 9, 2024, the IASB issued IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in the Financial Statements (“IFRS 18”) replacing IAS 1. IFRS 18 introduces categories and defined subtotals in the statement of profit or loss, disclosures on management-defined performance measures, and requirements to improve the aggregation and disaggregation of information in the financial statements. The adoption of IFRS 18 will not affect net income, but it will change how income and expenses are presented. Items of income and expenses in the statement of income will be classified into three new categories of operating, investing, and financing, with new subtotals presented. As a result of IFRS 18, amendments to IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows were also issued to require that entities use the operating profit subtotal as the starting point for the indirect method of reporting cash flows from operating activities and also to remove presentation alternatives for interest and dividends paid and received. Similarly, amendments to IAS 33 Earnings per Share were issued to permit disclosure of additional earnings per share figures using any other component of the statement of profit or loss, provided the numerator is a total or subtotal defined under IFRS 18. IFRS 18 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027, and is to be applied retrospectively, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the standard on its financial statements.
4. Significant Accounting Judgments, Estimates and Assumptions
Judgments, estimates and assumptions are continually evaluated and are based on management’s experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The significant judgments, estimates and assumptions made by management in applying the Company’s accounting policies are the same as those that applied to the annual financial statements.

5. Segment Disclosures
Reportable segments are determined based on the geographic regions in which the Company’s projects are located. In determining it’s segment structure, the Company considers the basis on which the chief operating decision maker reviews the financial and operational performance, as well as whether the Company’s mining operations share similar economic, operational and regulatory characteristics. The Company has identified the Segovia and Marmato Mines in Colombia, the Toroparu Project in Guyana, the Soto Norte Project in Colombia, and corporate functions in Canada and other corporate entities as its reportable segments.

b)Environmental fees
The Company’s mining and exploration activities at Segovia are subject to Colombian laws and regulations governing the protection of the environment. Colombian regulations provide for fees applicable to entities discharging effluents to river basins. The local environmental authority in Segovia has issued two resolutions assessing COP 35.8 billion ($9.8 million), which the Company is disputing. The Company has a provision related to the present value of its best estimate of the potential liability for these fees:

The health plan obligation of COP 52.2 billion ($14.2 million) is based on an actuarial report prepared as at December 31, 2025 with an inflation rate of 5.0% and a discount rate of 9.2%. The Company is currently paying approximately COP 0.2 billion (approximately $0.1 million) monthly to fund the obligatory health plan contributions. At March 31, 2026, non-current cash in trust includes approximately $1.0 million deposited in a restricted cash account as security against this obligation (December 31, 2025 - $0.9 million).
d)Claims
In the ordinary course of business, the Company is involved in and potentially subject to various legal and tax actions and proceedings. The Company records provisions for such claims when considered material and an outflow of resources is considered probable.

12. Deferred Revenue (cont.)
a)Marmato
As part of the acquisition of Aris Holdings on September 26, 2022, the Company acquired the deferred revenue obligation associated with Aris Holdings' Precious Metals Purchase Agreement (the “Marmato PMPA”) with WPMI. During the period ended March 31, 2026, the Company received the $40.0 million installment deposit from WPMI following the achievement of the 50% construction milestone. Under the arrangement, WPMI will provide aggregate funding amount to $175.0 million, of which $133.0 million had been received, with the remaining $42.0 million receivable during the construction and development of the Marmato Bulk Mining Zone and carbon-in-pulp processing facility.
The contract will be settled by Marmato delivering precious metal credits to WPMI. The Company recognizes amounts in revenue as gold and silver are delivered under the Marmato PMPA. Each period management estimates the cumulative amount of the deferred revenue obligation that has been satisfied and, therefore, recognized as revenue.
Accretion is capitalized to the Marmato Bulk Mining Zone (Note 8). The following are the key inputs for the Marmato PMPA contract as of March 31, 2026:
| | | | | | | | |
| Key inputs in the estimate | March 31, 2026 | December 31, 2025 |
| Financing rate | 12.50 | % | 12.50 | % |
| Gold price | $3,515 - $4,648 | $3,137 - $4,069 |
| Silver price | $45.26 - $71.65 | $34.59 - $49.31 |
| Remaining construction milestone timelines | 2026 | 2026 |
| Life of Mine | 2040 | 2040 |
A summary of changes to the deferred revenue balance is as follows:
| | | | | |
| Total |
| As at December 31, 2024 | $ | 109,369 | |
| Recognition of revenue on ounces delivered | (4,370) | |
| Cumulative catch-up adjustment | (1,937) | |

| Less: current portion | (13,591) | |
| Non-current portion as at March 31, 2026 | $ | 144,714 | |
b)Toroparu
The Company is also party to a Precious Metals Purchase Agreement (“Toroparu PMPA”) with WPMI. The key terms of the Toroparu PMPA are summarized in the annual financial statements. The company recorded deferred revenue of $84.0 million, all non-current which represents the estimated future cash flows attributable to expected future gold and silver deliveries to WPMI.

13. Share Capital (cont.)
c)Acquisition of Soto Norte Project
On December 12, 2025, the Company acquired the remaining 49% interest in the Soto Norte Project previously held by Mubadala, resulting in the Company owning 100% of the Soto Norte Project. As part of the transaction, the existing precious metals stream previously granted by the Soto Norte Project to Mubadala was terminated.
Total consideration for the acquisition of the remaining interest and termination of the precious metals stream was comprised of:
•$60.0 million in cash, of which $10.0 million related to the termination of the existing precious metals stream; and
•1,739,130 common shares issued to Mubadala, issued at a deemed price of $11.50, representing deemed consideration of $20.0 million. On December 12, 2025, the fair value of the common shares issued was determined to be $27.3 million, based on the closing share price of $15.71 per share.
Prior to the termination of the precious metals stream, the liability was recorded at a carrying value of $5.0 million. As a result of the termination, the Company recorded a loss of $5.0 million during the period ended December 31, 2025.
d)Stock option plan
The Company has a rolling Stock Option Plan (the “Option Plan”) in compliance with the TSX policies for granting stock options. Under the Option Plan, the maximum number of common shares reserved for issuance may not exceed 10% of the total number of issued and outstanding common shares and, to any one option holder, may not exceed 5% of the issued common shares on a yearly basis. The exercise price of each stock option will not be less than the market price of the Company’s stock at the date of grant. Each stock option vesting period and expiry is determined on a grant-by-grant basis. A summary of the change in the stock options outstanding during the period ended March 31, 2026 and year ended December 31, 2025 is as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| Options outstanding | Weighted average exercise price (C$) |

The following weighted average assumptions were used in estimating the fair value of stock options granted using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| Assumption | Based on | Three months ended March 31, 2026 | Year-ended December 31, 2025 |
| Risk-free interest rate (%) | Yield curves on Canadian government zero-coupon bonds with a remaining term equal to the stock options' expected life | 2.5 | % | 2.9 | % |
| Expected life (years) | Weighted average life of previously transacted awards | 3.0 years | 3.0 years |

Diluted earnings per share amounts are calculated by adjusting the basic earnings per share to take into account the after-tax effect of interest and other finance costs associated with dilutive convertible debentures as if they were converted at the beginning of the period, and the effects of potentially dilutive stock options and share purchase warrants calculated using the treasury stock method. When the impact of potentially dilutive securities increases the earnings per share or decreases the loss per share, they are excluded for purposes of the calculation of diluted earnings per share.
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, 355,106 stock options were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share. Instruments were excluded because either the exercise prices exceeded the average market value of the common shares or the impact of including the in the money securities were anti-dilutive to EPS.
14. Financial Risk Management
The nature of the acquisition, exploration, development and operation of gold properties exposes the Company to risks associated with fluctuations in commodity prices, foreign currency exchange rates and credit risk. The Company has policies and processes in place to manage these risks, and these risks have not changed from the prior reporting period. The Company may at times enter into risk management contracts to mitigate these risks. It is the Company’s policy that no speculative trading in derivatives shall be undertaken.
a)Financial instrument risk
Financial instruments measured at fair value are classified into one of three levels in the fair value hierarchy according to the relative reliability of the inputs used to estimate the fair values. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are:
•Level 1 – unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
•Level 2 – inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly; and
•Level 3 – inputs that are not based on observable market data.
The fair values of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, cash in trust, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and, taxes payable approximate their carrying values due to their short-term nature.
The 2029 Senior Notes are recognized at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. An observable fair value of the Company’s Senior Notes has been estimated using the trading value of the bonds which indicate a fair value of $454.7 million (carrying amount - $458.4 million).

14. Financial Risk Management (cont.)
Financial assets and liabilities measured at FVTPL on a recurring basis include the DSU payable, PSU payable, gold notes, Senior Notes embedded derivative, and marketable securities which are measured at their fair value at the end of each reporting period. The levels in the fair value hierarchy into which the Company’s financial assets and liabilities are recognized in the statements of financial position at fair value are categorized as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| March 31, 2026 | December 31, 2025 |
| Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 1 | Level 2 |
Gold Notes (Note 10b) | $ | — | | $ | 83,936 | | $ | — | | $ | 76,197 | |

Investment in Denarius (Note 7b) | 15,644 | | 15,332 | | 8,195 | | 13,240 | |
At March 31, 2026, there were no financial assets and liabilities measured and recognized at fair value on a non-recurring basis. There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2, and no financial assets or liabilities measured and recognized at fair value that would be categorized as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy during the period.

The exposure to credit risk arises through the failure of a third party to meet its contractual obligations to the Company. The Company’s exposure to credit risk primarily arises from its cash balances (which are held with highly rated Canadian, Colombian and other international financial institutions) and accounts receivable. The timing of collection of the VAT recoverable is in accordance with Government of Colombia’s filing process. As at March 31, 2026, the Company expects to recover the outstanding amount of current VAT receivable in the next 12 months.
Credit risk associated with trade accounts receivable arises from the Company’s delivery of its production to international customers from whom it receives 97.0% - 99.5% of the sales proceeds in the case of gold and silver, and 90% of sales proceeds in the case of concentrates, shortly after delivery of its production to an agreed upon transfer point in Colombia. The balance is received within a short settlement period thereafter, once final metal content has been agreed between the Company and the customer.
c)Liquidity risk
The Company manages its liquidity risk by continuously monitoring forecast cash flow requirements. The Company believes it has sufficient cash resources to pay its obligations associated with its financial liabilities as at March 31, 2026. In addition to other commitments already disclosed, the Company’s undiscounted commitments including interest and premiums at March 31, 2026 are as follows:

Following receipt of funds under the Marmato and Toroparu PMPA, Aris Mining’s silver and gold production from the Marmato Mine and Toroparu Project is subject to the terms of the PMPA with WPMI.
d)Foreign currency risk
The Company is exposed to foreign currency fluctuations. Such exposure arises primarily from:
•Translation of subsidiaries that have a functional currency, such as COP, which differ from the USD functional currency of the Company. The impact of such exposure is recorded through other comprehensive income (loss).
•Translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, such as the Canadian dollar (“C$”) and Guyanese Dollar (“GYD”). The impact of such exposure is recorded in the consolidated statements of income (loss).
The Company monitors its exposure to foreign currency risks arising from foreign currency balances and transactions. To reduce its foreign currency exposure associated with these balances and transactions, the Company may enter foreign currency derivatives to manage such risks. In 2026 and 2025, the Company did not utilize derivative financial instruments to manage this risk.
The following table summarizes the Company’s net financial assets and liabilities denominated in Canadian dollars, Colombian pesos and Guyanese dollar (in US dollar equivalents) as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, as well as the effect on earnings and other comprehensive earnings of a 10% appreciation or depreciation in the foreign currencies against the US dollar on the financial and non-financial assets and liabilities of the Company, if all other variables remain constant:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| March 31, 2026 | Impact of a 10% Change | December 31, 2025 | Impact of a 10% Change |
| Canadian dollar (C$) | 17,870 | | 1,626 | | 29,676 | | 2,699 | |
| Colombian peso (COP) | 113,776 | | 10,344 | | 91,727 | | 8,339 | |
| Guyanese dollar (GYD) | 1,485 | | 134 | | 1,008 | | 91 | |
e)Price risk
Price risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of the Company’s financial instruments will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Gold and silver prices can be subject to volatile price movements, which can be material and can occur over short periods of time and are affected by numerous factors, all of which are beyond the Company’s control. The Company may enter commodity hedging contracts from time to time to reduce its exposure to fluctuations in spot commodity prices.
The Company is required under the covenants of the Gold Notes to use commercially reasonable efforts to put in place commodity hedging contracts (put options) on a rolling four-quarters basis to establish a minimum selling price of $1,400 per ounce for the physical gold being accumulated in the Gold Escrow Account (Note 10b). Gold being accumulated in the Gold Escrow Account will be sold to meet the Company’s financial obligations for the quarterly Amortizing Payments of the Gold Notes. Under the terms of the agreement, such hedging will not be required if one of the following conditions is met:
•The Company determines that any such hedging contracts are not obtainable on commercially reasonable terms; or
•The failure to obtain any such hedging contracts would not reasonably be expected to materially adversely impact the ability of the Company to satisfy its obligations to make the quarterly Amortizing Payments.
As at March 31, 2026, the Company had no outstanding commodity hedging contracts in place.
