restricted share unit plan financial
"The Company’s amended and restated restricted share unit plan, together with all unallocated share units..."
A restricted share unit plan is a company program that promises employees or executives actual company shares or cash tied to the company’s stock, delivered later once conditions like continued employment or performance targets are met. Think of it as a delayed paycheck paid in stock that becomes fully owned only after certain milestones. Investors care because these awards can change the number of shares outstanding, affect reported costs, and align employee actions with shareholder value.
performance share unit plan financial
"The Company’s amended and restated performance share unit plan, together with all unallocated share units..."
Stock Option Plan Resolution financial
"The Company’s amended and restated incentive stock option plan, together with all unallocated options..."
Say-on-Pay financial
"The Company’s non-binding shareholder advisory vote on executive compensation, also known as “Say-on-Pay”, was approved."
A say-on-pay is a shareholder vote that gives investors a chance to approve or disapprove a company’s executive compensation packages, typically held at annual meetings. It matters because the vote signals investor satisfaction with how leaders are paid—like customers rating how well managers are rewarded—and can push boards to change pay plans, reducing governance risk and affecting investor confidence and stock value even though the vote is usually advisory rather than legally binding.
preliminary economic assessment financial
"Includes potential production estimates from Toroparu, which is based on a preliminary economic assessment effective October 21, 2025..."
A preliminary economic assessment is an initial analysis that estimates the potential profitability and feasibility of a project or resource, such as a new mineral deposit or development venture. It provides a rough idea of costs, benefits, and risks, helping investors decide whether to pursue more detailed studies. This early evaluation is important because it offers a snapshot of whether the project is worth further investment and development.
environmental studies technical
"Key projects include the high-grade Soto Norte gold project in Colombia, where environmental studies are being finalized..."

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 ounces1, 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 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 is in progress and a construction decision is expected in early 2027.

 

 

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.
