ARIS
MINING REPORTS Q1 2026 PRODUCTION AND STRONG REVENUE GROWTH
Gold
revenue expected to exceed $360 million
Vancouver,
Canada, April 7, 2026 – Aris Mining Corporation (Aris Mining or the Company) (TSX: ARIS; NYSE: ARIS) reports gold production
of 74.3 thousand ounces (koz) for the first three months of 2026 (Q1 2026). All amounts are in U.S. dollars unless otherwise indicated.
Q1
2026 Highlights1:
| ● | Q1
consolidated gold production of 74.3 koz, a 6% increase over Q4 2025. |
| ● | Q1
gold sales of 74.8 koz at an average realized price of more than $4,860 per oz, resulting
in gold revenue of more than $360 million, up 20% from Q4 2025. |
| ● | Cash
balance of over $470 million at March 31, 2026, an increase of approximately $80 million
compared to December 31, 2025. |
Neil
Woodyer, Chair and CEO, commented “Our strong start to 2026 reflects both solid operating performance and a supportive gold
price environment. We expect Q1 2026 gold revenue to exceed $360 million, a significant increase from $154 million in Q1 2025
and $301 million in Q4 2025, driven by higher gold prices and increased ounces sold. Looking ahead, we expect production growth
in 2026 to be weighted toward the second half of the year, with first gold from the Marmato CIP plant on track for Q4 and a continued
steady ramp-up at Segovia.”
The
Company expects to report full Q1 2026 financial and operating results on or about May 6, 2026.

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 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.

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.
