Aris Mining (NYSE: ARIS) links Marmato decline, targets 500k oz output
Rhea-AI Filing Summary
Aris Mining Corporation reports a key construction milestone at its Marmato gold mine, where a new underground cross-cut now connects the surface decline to existing underground workings. This establishes continuous access from surface to the area where a new 5,000 tonne-per-day CIP processing plant is being built.
The breakthrough keeps the Marmato bulk mine expansion on schedule for first gold in Q4 2026. Together with the Segovia mine, Aris Mining aims to increase annual gold output to approximately 500,000 ounces, up from about 257,000 ounces produced in 2025, and is advancing longer-term growth projects at Soto Norte and Toroparu.

ARIS MINING ANNOUNCES
BREAKTHROUGH MILESTONE AT
MARMATO UNDERGROUND DEVELOPMENT
Vancouver, Canada, April 17, 2026 – Aris Mining Corporation (Aris Mining or the Company) (TSX: ARIS; NYSE: ARIS) announces a significant construction milestone at its Marmato gold mine with the underground development cross-cut now connecting the new surface decline to the existing underground development.
This breakthrough marks an important step in the Marmato expansion project, establishing continuous underground access from surface, where the new 5,000 tonne per day CIP plant is under construction, to the existing workings. The connection supports the next phases of mine development, infrastructure installation and operational readiness for the Marmato bulk mine which is on schedule for first gold in Q4 2026.
Neil Woodyer, Chair and CEO, commented: “The on-schedule connection of the new surface decline to the existing underground development is a major milestone for Marmato and an important step in delivering our expansion plans. As development continues to advance, Marmato, together with Segovia, remains on track to deliver approximately 500,000 ounces of gold production per year following expansion and ramp-up.”
Marmato is one of Aris Mining’s key growth projects and is expected to become a larger-scale, modern underground mining operation. This cross-cut breakthrough reflects continued progress in developing the access and infrastructure required to support expanded operations.
Aris Mining will continue to provide updates on construction and development progress at Marmato as additional milestones are achieved.
About Aris Mining
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 Toronto Stock Exchange and the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol ARIS.
The Company is advancing expansion projects at Segovia and Marmato that are expected to increase annual gold production to approximately 500,000 ounces, 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 CIP plant, with first gold expected in Q4 2026.
Aris Mining’s portfolio supports a longer-term objective of approximately 1 million ounces of annual gold production1. 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 is in progress and a construction decision is expected in early 2027.

1 Includes potential production estimates from Toroparu, which is based on a preliminary economic assessment and is preliminary in nature. It 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. Such production also remains subject to obtaining all necessary permits for both Soto Norte and Toroparu.
