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.
